E.40. Understanding Evil & Fighting Demons

Text Jackie!!!We often use language in our culture that dramatizes or intensifies life experience.  We call people evil because they are cold, calculating, violent, & merciless.  But to call someone evil is to insinuate that they are motivated by spirits and energies outside their body.  In psychology, 'Evil' people are those who are unable to empathize with others.  This would include psychopaths, sociopaths, &  people with with narcissistic or anti-social personality disorder. These are mental health issues that are real and need to be addressed as that.    In the same light, when we say we are fighting demons, we are actually holding on to unprocessed trauma, abuse, hurt, betrayals, and pain from the past.  These things will "haunt" us until they are healed.   Let's start to change our language around mental health issues.  Let's be human and start to heal as humans.   This podcast is a combination of Jackie's clinical insight as well as her wisdom & life experience gained from years of mentoring, coaching & counseling.PurchaseJackie's Workbook (based on the podcast): https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Not-Everyone-Workbook-Soulful/dp/B0B92DVFF8/ref=sr_1_15?crid=3CEWRDFEKYXVQ&keywords=you%27re+not+for+everyone&qid=1660243638&sprefix=youre+not+for+everyone%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-15Jackie's Memoir Book: https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Not-Everyone-Soulful-Authentic/dp/B09MJBQNVR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=5C0OB49OYM32&keywords=youre+not+for+everyone+book&qid=1653315704&sprefix=youre+not+for+%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-1:Website:  www.safesoulcenter.orgFitness & Dance Website:  www.mistfitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/yourenotforevery1If you are experiencing an emergency and like you may want to harm yourself or others, please call 911.Support the show Click here to support Jackie's show:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jackiehendersonWebsite:  www.safesoulcenter.orgFitness & Dance Website:  www.mistfitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/yourenotforevery1
