The Unfiltered Mental Health Podcast

This week John ruins the podcast with his good mood, Chris admits to some sketchy editing practices, we embrace responsibility, try to do better, keeping it positive, avoiding bad traps, staying transparent, the difficulty of communicating in certain spaces, semantics, doing racial humor, stumbling through politeness, the evolution of language, a strange chance meeting, manifesting negative and positive stress, dressing like RFJ Jr at the gym, surprising Jordan Peterson fans, making your bed every day, Thomas Sowell, slipping on red pills, late life lessons, comeuppance, an unfamiliar confidence, and we debunk Peterson once and for all.

This week Chris and John discuss Chris' upcoming comedy special, new atheists vs old atheists, debating as sport, flooding the zone, hungry judges, poor marshmallows, seasonal allergies, the concept of free will, philosophy YouTube, where our personalities come free, isolation, and more.

This week we're coming in hot about the hoodie theft epidemic. We get into the pitfalls of the fall, seasons changing and seasonal depression and Seasonal Effective Disorder, fruitless trees, keeping to ourselves, the enlightenment of hindsight, being left alone in crowded places, and more. 

This week we discuss being manipulated by the algorithm, modern freak shows, bar rescues and old habits, over doing THC, current concerns about maintenance, commitment, societal PTSD, dating people with bad taste in people, seasonal depression, phantom limb, self improvement exhaustion and much more. 

This week Chris and John check in and swerve off into politics, bad faith YouTube reviews, racism, fascism,  how our attention spans have changed, how far does understanding go, the difference between forgiveness and acceptance, Micheal Jackson, Lanterns and how all of these things effect our mental health.

This week we recorded another late night show and recount the horrible things we did growing up under duress, why we don't have traditional jobs, the pitfalls of learning, failed attempts at community college, updaters on therapy goals, the joy of shoplifting, old scams and schemes, summering in Collinwood, and more.

This week we finally verbalize what makes Manosphere advice so gross, how much we can't stand politeness, what's improved our moods, why it's hard to have gratitude for the past, and the sound of a voice they makes John want to quit the podcast. 

This week we discuss the book No Bad Parts and the Internal Family Systems method and how ridiculous the human brain can be. Do you ever call self "we" in your Inner dialogue? Does it really matter how you talk yourself? The first thing we should be teaching new humans is how their brain works but here we are again, week in and week out, learning basic life skills in our forties. Join us for this discussion as we have epiphanies 25 years too late.

We're sorry for the late drop this week. We had some electric problems leading to computer problems at n the studio. This week we discuss the culture chock we each experienced moving through different types of American landscapes. The inner city, the country, rural and urban areas and the suburban hellscapes of American life all provide a different kind of anxiety and conditioning and constantly moving between them growing up can really throw a monkey wrench into the development of the versions of you the t are up who you are.

Why does trying to heal sometimes feel worse than just staying broken? This week, Chris Paugh and John Armstrong dive deep into the exhausting reality of navigating Complex PTSD (CPTSD). We discuss why researching the effects of your own trauma can feel like you're re-breaking bones so they can heal correctly, and how to find healthy distractions when your brain desperately needs a break from new information.Plus, we tackle the ultimate dating nightmare: realizing you are repeating history and making the exact same relationship mistakes as your parents. We discuss setting new boundaries based on your history—slowly, painfully, and just a little bit at a time. Grab your coffee (or your coping mechanism of choice) and let's get into it.
