    Mid-season Check-in (aka SEEK Safely Podcast Pajama Party)
    2025/03/31

    Jean’s in her PJs. Glenn is wearing sweats. Because we’re all tired…

    In this episode, the podcast is checking in on how we’re all coping (or not) in this very busy, constantly “breaking news” era. It is precisely in these moments of uncertainty that the self-help world typically kicks it into overdrive. So beware! We also talk about this interesting development we’re seeing–the self-helpification of US government.

    And finally, we offer a few thoughts on how to manage in overwhelming times. Thanks, as always, for being our community!

  • Dr. John Hunter Explains how Self-help Events are “Manufacturing Mania”

    Dr. John Hunter Explains how Self-help Events are “Manufacturing Mania”
    2025/03/10

    How do smart, motivated, successful people get pulled into spending thousands of dollars, many years, and lots of trust on a self-help program or teacher? Psychologist Dr. John Hunter applies the dopamine hypothesis to explain how these events may be messing with our brain chemistry in a way that puts us into a manic or hypomanic state. If you are curious about cults or if you’re a self-help person, this is a must-listen! Finally, we have a psychological explanation for what is actually going on in your brain when exposed to certain types of self-help.

    Dr. John Hunter’s book is “Manufacturing Mania: The Dopamine Hypothesis of Religious Experience.” His research has focussed on LGATs (Large Group Awareness Trainings) and neurology, providing an important link to understand how anyone is susceptible to the power of these events.
