  Split Brain Experiments, Back to School, and 3 Year Celebration

  Aug 17, 202634 min

  Your brain's left hemisphere fabricates stories about your own behavior. In this episode, we unpack the split-brain research that reveals the brain's built-in "interpreter," and what it means for therapy, relationships, political beliefs, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Plus: we celebrate three years of podcasting together, and close with real talk on back-to-school anxiety, including why your kid might be fine and your own anxiety might be the problem.Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(00:19) 3 Years of Insights & Actions(06:07) Split Brain Research, the Interpreter, Narratives(21:19) Back to School Anxiety and Advise for ParentsMatt Christian, Dr. Johnny Pierce, and Craig James are licensed mental health clinicians at Insight Into Action Therapy in Ashburn and Fairfax, Virginia.Follow Insights & Actions for new episodes.Websites:Insight Into Action Therapy: https://insightintoaction.comInsight Recovery Centers: https://insightrecoverycenters.comFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insightbehavioralcentersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/InsightBehavioralCentersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/insight-centersOffices in Ashburn and Fairfax, Virginia.

  Do Therapists Believe in Self-Care? | Insights & Actions

  Jun 24, 202634 min

  Self-care has become one of those terms that can mean everything and nothing. We decided to actually examine it. In this episode, Matt, Johnny, and Craig do question it — where the concept came from, how it got commercialized, why it sometimes shames people more than it helps them, and what might actually be more useful: structure, honesty, and human connection.We dig into the real history of self-care (it's more interesting than you'd expect), why "mental health days" can be problematic, the difference between rigidity and flexibility, and why Craig wants to bring back pagers.Matt Christian, Dr. Johnny Pierce, and Craig James are licensed mental health clinicians at Insight Into Action Therapy in Ashburn and Fairfax, Virginia.Subscribe to Insights & Actions for new episodes.Websites:Insight Into Action Therapy: https://insightintoaction.comInsight Recovery Centers: https://insightrecoverycenters.comFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insightbehavioralcentersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/InsightBehavioralCentersLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/insight-centersOffices in Ashburn and Fairfax, Virginia.
