    Angles in the Outfield: A Discussion on Believing in Yourself and Having Support
    2024/11/07
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. Hey everyone! Today, it’s a solo podcast with just me, Dr. Naz, and Spencer 🎙️. We’re diving into the Disney classic Angels in the Outfield, a film that’s not only heartwarming but also packed with lessons on relationships, trauma, and the importance of chosen family. We explore the themes of believing in yourself and how the belief of others can help spark that inner belief. It’s about more than just baseball—it’s about how team chemistry, whether in sports or the workplace, can be healing. The support systems we build—our friends, coworkers, and loved ones—are the safety nets that keep us going through the highs and lows of life. There are two key scenes we’ll dive into. One highlights the power of rituals and routines, especially for those of us who need them to self-regulate, much like the pitcher who goes through a specific process to throw the perfect pitch. Another scene features a shy boy who literally runs home when told to, giving us a heartwarming (and humorous) reminder of how the neurodivergent experience often includes taking things literally. We also talk about trauma, PTSD, and triggers. There’s a powerful moment when a young boy can’t get into a car due to past trauma, reflecting the way difficult experiences can make seemingly simple tasks feel overwhelming. This scene resonates deeply with those who’ve faced traumatic events and shows how selective mutism and the fear of connection can manifest in the wake of abuse or neglect. But it’s not all heavy—there’s joy in seeing the team come together, improving with a little help from the angels until they eventually succeed on their own. This parallels the journey in therapy: starting with guidance and support, but eventually growing strong enough to fly solo. It’s a beautiful metaphor for healing and personal growth, something Spencer and I deeply resonate with. The final scenes show the coach promising to adopt the boys, offering them the stability and love they’ve never known. It’s a touching moment that illustrates how caregiving can be healing for both sides. As caregivers, whether as therapists, coaches, or friends, we give out healing—but we also receive it in return. We wrap up with the championship win, a symbol of victory not just for the team but for everyone who’s ever overcome their personal challenges. We hope you enjoy the mix of fun, emotion, and deep reflection in today’s podcast. Take care of yourselves, and remember—healing is a two-way street 💛. 0:00 Attention 0:54 Sponsorship 1:57 Intro 6:37 Scenes 25:54 Discussion We'd love to hear your ideas for future episodes and connect with you on social media.

  • Autism Goes To College: A Discussion and Interview about Neurodivergence [Ft. Erik Linthorst]

    Autism Goes To College: A Discussion and Interview about Neurodivergence [Ft. Erik Linthorst]
    2024/10/31
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to interview Erik Linthorst, the filmmaker behind Autism Goes to College! 🎥 Erik shares what inspired him to create this documentary, which highlights the experiences of autistic students navigating the ups and downs of college life. We dive into their stories—triumphs, challenges, and barriers. One key topic is self-disclosure: should autistic students tell others about their diagnosis? Erik explains the risks and benefits. For instance, one diligent student who always asked questions was seen as "weird" by classmates. This sparks a discussion on societal norms in education and why acceptance is crucial. We also explore deregulation—emotional responses due to stress or sensory overload—and how it’s often misunderstood, leading to harmful consequences like police involvement. 💥 Erik emphasizes the need for better educator training to support neurodivergent students, particularly for Black and Brown individuals, who are disproportionately affected by these situations. A powerful scene from the film shows a student being berated by a professor before an exam, leading to failure. 💔 This is a common experience for neurodivergent students, and we discuss how professors, many without teaching training, often fail to provide necessary accommodations and empathy. We also talk about how medication can be life-changing for neurodivergent students, managing anxiety, ADHD, and sensory overload. 💊 Plus, small accommodations like online courses, recorded lectures, or extended deadlines can make education more accessible. Many students aren’t aware of available resources like extended test times, note-taking, or access to mental health counselors. 📝💻 Erik and Dr. Naz discuss how these services could help students succeed if made more accessible, and how support groups for neurodivergent students can be invaluable. Despite challenges, Erik's documentary has been a huge success, spreading awareness through educational libraries nationwide. 🎓 We also dive into Erik’s personal connection to this story, his own neurodivergent experiences, and the passion driving his work. This episode highlights the need for systemic changes to make higher education more inclusive—not just for neurodivergent students but for all.

  • Spirited: A Discussion on Toxic Caregivers and Professionals [Ft. Jaye Lin]

    Spirited: A Discussion on Toxic Caregivers and Professionals [Ft. Jaye Lin]
    2024/10/24
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. In today’s podcast, we’re joined by ADHD coach and advocate, Jaye Lin, who brings a fresh perspective as we dive into the Apple TV movie Spirited starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds. 🎬 The focus shifts to caregivers in the mental health and medical fields, and the struggles they face in managing their own well-being while helping others. We discuss the concept of being "unredeemable"—how many of us avoid our own issues, because it's easier to fix others than to work on ourselves. 🛠️ Jaye and Dr. Naz don’t hold back, shedding light on how some therapists and coaches may not have done the necessary inner work, leading to toxic behaviors, even as they guide others. This episode explores the fine line between helping and harm, urging professionals to “walk the walk” rather than just talk. We also talk about how people, especially those who feel flawed, can redeem themselves, despite what society tells them. 🌱 Through Ferrell’s song in Spirited, we see a metaphor for actively engaging in life and facing your own demons rather than running from them. Finally, we delve into friendship, connection, and sacrifice. 💔 Making friends, especially for those who are ADHD or autistic, can feel impossible, but it’s something that can bring joy and meaning. Jaye shares stories of sacrifice and highlights how true friends show up for each other. Tune in for a heartfelt and hilarious episode that digs deep into the human experience. 💬 And don’t forget to check out Jaye’s coaching services if you need ADHD support!

  • Heavyweights: Discussing Fatphobia Diet Culture [Ft. Kayla Stansberry]

    Heavyweights: Discussing Fatphobia Diet Culture [Ft. Kayla Stansberry]
    2024/10/10
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. In today’s episode, we dive into the 90s Disney comedy Heavyweights with our special guest, therapist Kayla Stansberry, a fat-positive therapist focused on fat liberation and trauma education. 🌟 We explore various issues faced by people living in larger bodies, particularly in how society views and often dehumanizes them. We’ll discuss the harmful ways society pushes weight loss, and how those who lose weight can sometimes become the harshest critics of others who are still fat. 🧠 We’ll break down scenes from Heavyweights, starting with a camp leader who, despite being a larger man, is portrayed as incompetent and lacking confidence—a common trope in media. 🎥 We also touch on the problematic nature of restrictive eating, the harm of weight-shaming, and how these practices can reset your weight, leading to further weight gain later on. 🍔 One key discussion revolves around how former fat individuals, after losing weight, often become bullies to those still living in larger bodies, projecting their internalized shame onto others. We’ll also explore the toxic culture surrounding fat camps, particularly the pressure to lose weight and the shame associated with failing to meet weight loss goals. 😔 Kayla sheds light on the damaging cycle of dieting and weight gain, and how this cycle often leads to eating disorders. We even discuss how the stigma of living in a larger body can make simple activities—like going on rides at theme parks or flying on airplanes—sources of intense shame and isolation. ✈️🎢 Lastly, we reflect on a scene where the characters binge-eat after being starved, a common but harmful response to extreme dieting. Kayla emphasizes the importance of addressing disordered eating and rejecting diet culture, especially during the New Year when diet pressures are at their peak. 🎉 We’re honored to have Kayla on the show to help shed light on these issues, and we hope this conversation brings some insight and humor to a topic that deeply affects many. If you’re looking for support, therapy, or coaching, Kayla’s information will be linked in our post and podcast. 💬 Reach out for help or just to connect with more body-positive, affirming content.

    New Girl: Representation of neurodivergence, & being gifted [Ft. Dr. Matt Zakreski]
    2024/10/03
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. Today, we dive deep into the beloved comfort show New Girl with our special guest therapist, Dr. Matt. This cult classic has captured the hearts of millions, many of whom are neurodivergent. We explore the characters' unique quirks and their neurodivergent traits. 🌟📺🧠 Dr. Matt starts by highlighting how characters like Schmidt exhibit traits of being gifted and neurodivergent, struggling with social skills, perfectionism, isolation, frustration, and OCD. He explains the difference between OCD and OCPD and how Schmidt fits the latter, affecting his relationships and growth. 🧹🧼👔 Next, we delve into Winston's character. Known for his imaginative nature, Winston exhibits autistic-like traits and struggles with teaching others. Dr. Matt discusses the challenges of being neurodivergent and gifted, and the difficulty in articulating unique thought processes. 🎶🐾🐱 We then focus on Nick Miller, Dr. Naz's personal favorite. Nick's struggle with expressing emotions and forming meaningful friendships is highlighted, especially within the context of masculinity. Dr. Matt introduces "pebbling," where small gestures of love accumulate into something significant, and how different communication styles can lead to misunderstandings. 🍺👬💬 Finally, we examine Jess and her difficulty in accepting compliments. This scene, while hilarious, resonates with many who feel insecure or undeserving of praise. Dr. Matt and Dr. Naz discuss why some people reject compliments and how this behavior is rooted in deeper feelings of unworthiness. 🎀💔😂 We hope you enjoy this episode and find comfort in the familiar faces of New Girl.

  • Gordita Chronicles: Latinx Women, Immigrants and Racism [Ft. Cynthia Perez]

    Gordita Chronicles: Latinx Women, Immigrants and Racism [Ft. Cynthia Perez]
    2024/09/26
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. Cynthia starts by examining the term "gordita." In the Dominican Republic, it's a term of endearment, but in the U.S., it translates to "fat girl," which can be deeply hurtful. This duality impacts mental health, self-esteem, and can lead to eating disorders. We discuss the added challenges of being neurodivergent or having ADHD and the feeling of being marginalized. 🧠💔 We see how the character Cucu vows to stop speaking Spanish to avoid trouble, marking the beginning of losing her cultural identity. This resonates with many Latino Americans and other immigrants who give up their mother tongue to fit in. We discuss the shame and the long-term impact of losing one's native language and cultural roots. 🌍🗣️ Cynthia shares her experiences with her children in school, highlighting how their unique needs weren't met, leading her to homeschool them. This reflects the broader challenges of being Brown and neurodivergent in systems not designed to accommodate diverse minds. 📚✨ One poignant scene involves the father being mistaken for a janitor despite being the Vice President of Marketing and Sales for the Latino population. This moment highlights the pervasive racism many face, being seen for their ethnicity rather than their achievements. We discuss how common this is and the emotional toll it takes. 🏢👔 Lastly, we see the father helping his wife ground herself during her homesickness and anxiety. He recreates familiar Dominican sights and sounds in the car, reminding us of the importance of cultural connections and support. 🚗🌴 We hope you enjoy this insightful and often hilarious podcast. Please check out Cynthia's website for free resources on working with Latinx communities and support her amazing work.

    The Persian Version: 1st gen, immigrant families, and Grief [Ft. Pauline Peck]
    2024/09/19
    Let our sponsor, BetterHelp, connect you to a therapist who can support you - all from the comfort of your home. Visit https://betterhelp.com/dsp and enjoy a special discount on your first month. Thanks for checking out Different Spectrums! We're a podcast led by licensed therapists and neurodivergent individuals who explore emotions in movies and shows. Our goal is to normalize mental health challenges and promote understanding. Today, we're joined by special guest therapist and trauma-informed psychologist, Dr. Pauline Yeghnazar Peck, to discuss the deeply emotional movie, The Persian Version. This serves as an official trigger warning, as the film contains graphic images, death, and suicidality. 🎬 Dr. Peck, who specializes in working with first-generation immigrant women, shares her insights on a key scene that mirrors her therapeutic approach. Being from an immigrant family herself, Dr. Peck understands the unique pressures and cultural dynamics these families face in America. 🌍👩‍⚕️ In the film, we see a young woman, who is pregnant after a one-night stand, and her mother, who experienced profound trauma in her past. The mother's journey involves moving to a foreign country, dealing with infidelity, and facing the heartbreak of a stillbirth. This trauma led her to silence her pain, impacting how she raised her children. 👶💔 The movie highlights the generational trauma and communication struggles within immigrant families. Dr. Peck explains how understanding the parents' past can provide context and foster empathy, even when their actions caused pain. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and processing trauma to break the cycle. 🧠💬 Dr. Nas shares his personal experience, reflecting on his mother's hardships and how it gave him a deeper understanding and gratitude for his own upbringing. This discussion aims to offer context and patience for those with immigrant backgrounds, helping listeners find empathy and healing. 🌱❤️ We hope you enjoy this podcast, filled with deep reflections and some laughs. For those seeking support, Dr. Pauline Yeghnazar Peck offers valuable resources, coaching, and group therapy. Her website and Instagram are linked below.
