    Embracing (Rather Than Fixing)...

    We are a society of armchair psychologists, who are constantly self-diagnosing. There are scores of books and television programs that suggest ways for us to reprogram and rid ourselves of disturbing feelings and behavior patterns. Bedrick is deepening the dialogue about the role and practice of psychology in today’s society. Much of mainstream or “pop” psychology give us plenty of labels, but does it go deep enough to motivate us to truly change destructive patterns? David Bedrick gives us a new vision of psychology where people are seen not as either functional or dysfunctional. It’s a psychology where awareness and dialogue are more important than labels. 
    Mainstream psychology often misses the range of diversity in people and tries to “normalize” them into a sea of sameness. In Process Oriented Psychology, for example, there are no 7 steps to a cure. This branch of psychology acknowledges that everyone is different. Bedrick is an awareness follower and says, “I’m using my awareness in watching all the communication a person gives me, much of which is not verbal.” He follows what they are showing him until the client reveals their own cure or medicine. He gives many exciting examples in this dynamic dialogue. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

    We the People and Our Freedom...

    Spanning 315 pages, the book dives into the historical, philosophical, sociological, and psychological forces that gave birth to the American constitutional republic. The book introduces the concept of “Our Freedom Charters,” which includes the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and all subsequent amendments—not just as static texts, but as the product of the collective ideas from the history of human civilization and the actions that formed a new nation. Pitkethly draws on decades of study in sociology, mental health counseling, and history to provide what he calls a “human-centered evaluation” of America’s origin story. He analyzes the country as one might a person—its family tree, family of origin, conception, birth, infancy, personality, character development, and current identity crisis.

    Emotional Abuse - Inflicting...

    Emotional abuse is one of the most insidious forms of mistreatment, often leaving deep psychological wounds that are not immediately visible. Unlike physical abuse, which leaves external scars, emotional abuse erodes a person’s sense of self-worth, independence, and emotional stability over time. It can occur in various relationships, including romantic partnerships, family dynamics, friendships, workplaces, and even societal structures. Understanding what emotional abuse is, how it manifests, and the long-term effects it has on victims is essential for recognizing and addressing it. 
    At its core, emotional abuse is a pattern of behavior aimed at controlling, belittling, or manipulating another person through psychological means. This can include gaslighting, where the abuser makes the victim question their own reality, constant criticism that undermines self-confidence, and emotional withholding, where love and affection are used as tools for control. Unlike one-time conflicts or disagreements, emotional abuse is a repeated, systematic approach that leaves the victim feeling trapped, powerless, and unworthy. 
    One of the most damaging aspects of emotional abuse is that it often happens gradually, making it difficult for victims to recognize. Many victims rationalize or minimize their experiences, believing that they are overreacting or that the abuser’s behavior is justified. Emotional abusers often shift blame onto their victims, making them feel responsible for the mistreatment. This cycle of manipulation creates emotional dependency, where the victim feels unable to leave the abusive situation due to fear, guilt, or the hope that things will improve.
