John Deloney：本期节目探讨了心理健康问题对现代人的影响，特别是过度关注自我和追求外部认可导致的心理健康不稳定。他认为，现代社会中流行的‘我的真理’等说法是错误的，人们应该关注自身经历和感受，而不是试图拥有真理。他还谈到了创伤性经历对个人认知和行为的影响，以及如何帮助那些经历创伤的人。Deloney 认为，我们需要重新审视心理健康的定义，关注韧性和内在平静，而不是仅仅关注缓解痛苦。他呼吁人们关注自身价值观，寻找比自身更大的意义和价值，从而获得真正的快乐和内心的平静。
Richard Beck：Beck 博士从心理学和神学角度分析了心理健康问题。他认为，笛卡尔和弗洛伊德的思想导致了现代人对自我过度关注，迷失在主观世界中，忽略了客观现实和人际关系，而社交媒体加剧了这种现象。他指出，通过自我认同来追求心理健康是错误的，因为它会随着成功和失败而波动，导致心理健康不稳定。人们追求外部的认可来证明自身的价值，例如成就、地位等，但这会造成心理健康的不稳定，因为这些东西是会变化的。Beck 博士还讨论了创伤的处理方式，他认为对创伤的过度反思可能弊大于利，应该关注向前发展和培养韧性，而不是过度关注自我。他还谈到了创伤的政治化和心理健康语言的滥用。他认为，真正的快乐是超越自我，与比自我更大的现实相连接，这需要人们寻找自身价值观，并与比自身更大的现实相连接。他强调，快乐需要练习，不能仅仅通过言语或自我肯定来获得。
John Deloney: This episode explores the impact of mental health issues on modern people, especially the psychological instability caused by excessive self-focus and the pursuit of external validation. He believes that the popular sayings of 'my truth' in modern society are wrong, and people should focus on their own experiences and feelings instead of trying to own the truth. He also talked about the impact of traumatic experiences on personal cognition and behavior, and how to help those who have experienced trauma. Deloney believes that we need to re-examine the definition of mental health, focusing on resilience and inner peace, rather than just focusing on alleviating pain. He calls on people to pay attention to their own values, find a greater meaning and value than themselves, so as to obtain true happiness and inner peace.
Richard Beck: Dr. Beck analyzes mental health issues from psychological and theological perspectives. He believes that the ideas of Descartes and Freud have led modern people to pay excessive attention to themselves, losing themselves in the subjective world, ignoring objective reality and interpersonal relationships, and social media exacerbating this phenomenon. He points out that pursuing mental health through self-identification is wrong, because it fluctuates with success and failure, leading to psychological instability. People pursue external recognition to prove their own value, such as achievement and status, but this will cause psychological instability, because these things will change. Dr. Beck also discusses the way to deal with trauma. He believes that excessive reflection on trauma may do more harm than good, and we should focus on moving forward and cultivating resilience instead of paying too much attention to ourselves. He also talked about the politicization of trauma and the abuse of mental health language. He believes that true happiness is beyond the self, connecting with a reality greater than oneself, which requires people to find their own values and connect with a reality greater than themselves. He emphasizes that happiness needs practice and cannot be obtained simply through words or self-affirmation.
Deep Dive
The pursuit of mental health through self-regard has destabilized the mental health of a generation. Self-regard fluctuates with successes and failures, leading to a rollercoaster of emotions. It's like smoking cigarettes thinking we're going to cure cancer.
- Mental health through self-regard creates instability.
- Social media amplifies self-referential tendencies.
- Success and failure metrics further destabilize mental health.
