The ‘True’ Self vs ‘False’ Self In this short video, Dr Sanil Rege, a psychiatrist, explains the psychodynamic origins of the ‘false self’, and how early caregiver dynamics shape one’s core identity. Core Concepts Discussed: - The Role of Mirroring: How a stable self-concept only emerges when our caregivers mirror our emotions accurately (or reasonably accurately), allowing us to internalise a cohesive sense of self. - The Psychodynamic Split: Understanding the distinction in psychodynamic language between the true self and a false self that is moulded to meet external demands. - The Cost of Conditional Love: Recognising the common clinical presentation where individuals felt they "had to be good to receive love from my caregiver." - Clinical Consequences: How a fragmented self-concept ultimately leads to identity diffusion, which is a hallmark of unresolved developmental conflicts and unmet needs. #Psychiatry #IdentityDiffusion #Psychodynamics

The Gas Cartel is Panicking | The West Report "Never let a good crisis go to waste". Albo and Jim Chalmers have a unique opportunity right now to fix the Budget and reshape Australia by taxing the foreign gas exporters properly. A big majority in Parliament - a 25% gas export tax is a no-brainer for $10B a year. Standing in their way is a powerful gas lobby which lies and bribes hard .. and the fossil media. #auspol Support Us here https://linktr.ee/michaelwestmedia.com.au

The Floor Above Episode 3 | Gaming Through Schizophrenia | Mental Health Livestreams This playlist is about gaming as a way of coping, grounding, and getting through difficult days. I live with schizophrenia, and a lot of the time that comes with isolation, intensity, and long stretches where the world feels hard to stay connected to. Gaming has become one of the ways I manage that. It gives me structure, something to focus on, and a space where I can still feel engaged when everything else feels distant. These livestreams aren’t about being the best or playing perfectly. They’re about showing up, staying present, and using games as a tool for well-being. Some days that means distraction, some days it means routine, and sometimes it just means not being alone for a while. There may be quiet moments, reflective conversations, or times where things feel a bit raw. That’s part of it. Nothing here is overly polished — it’s real-time coping, in whatever form that takes. If you’re going through something similar, or if gaming helps you manage your own mental health in any way, you’re welcome here. — Oli

Everything YOU Need to Know about AVO's In Australia Most people think an AVO is just a court order. It's not. It's a signal — and once it's sent, it doesn't stay in one courtroom.In this video I break down what an Apprehended Violence Order actually does to you: not just the legal mechanics, but the systems it quietly activates — your employment, your firearms licence, your family court proceedings, your permanent police record. All of it. This isn't a law lecture. It's what I've seen happen to real people who thought they understood the system — and didn't. What you'll learn: — Why an AVO can be made against you without a finding of guilt — What "consent without admissions" really means (and why it can cost you everything) — How a private AVO application can destroy your life even if it's withdrawn — The moment police discretion was removed — and what that means for you — Why the process itself can become the punishmentIf you're facing an AVO, have been named in one, or just want to understand how this system actually works — watch this before you make any decisions. ⚖️ Need legal advice?
