@@xtusvincit5230 Religion and Psychology go very hand in hand. But to your point, I think they improve on each other and aren't helpful when they are used to reduce the other. JPs religious/psych content has been interesting the last few years as he's been on his own spiritual journey. Definitely a different flavor to his older work on Symbols and the Book of Genesis.

@@ExtraIceNat Thanks for the recommendation! I'm very open to recommendations for myself and the channel. I'll go take a look at it. If it fits the theme of the channel I'll consider talking about it. Thanks again!

@@nataliemoon1512 I'm unfamiliar with the author but will look them up! Do you enjoy their writings?

@@TheRyanMillerShow13 The interesting details that are weaved into the book are so good! Found a copy on the site b l u r b 🌃

@@melissaannmiller 🤣 Its a rare, excellent find!

That's not quite accurate. The Bible was written by a multitude of authors and the Old Testament writings predate the Catholic Church by a long margin. These were Jewish texts predating Christianity in it's modern sense. There are plenty of things that people debate on the Bible's accuracy and historicity, but it has been corroborated and supported in many of its historical claims by non-religious scholars and in other texts written by other non-Judeo-Christian cultures. Apprehension to the stories as pure truth is understandable, but claiming it is entirely fiction and not true in any way is simply historically inaccurate. I appreciate your engagement!

I try my best! 😎

Very happy to have you along for the ride! :)

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I struggled to fully follow what your were trying to say but I'll do my best to respond. My reflection on the past was not implied to be the 90s or even the 40s, as mentioned in the video I was addressing times before phones and internet and mass communication. It was simply far more difficult to get information from around the world when we only had letters and writing. Again, times LONG before the twentieth century that you are referencing. But even still, the rise of social media has made the spread of information drastically more abundant sense the twentieth century. Thanks again for the engagement!

Lol, I agree. You can knock it out in a sitting but it still technically takes 300 days. Fun concept.

Finally here!

I didn't expect it, that's for sure. But it was cool to see!

So was I!

We are all holding expectations, even when we don't realize it. It definitely helps me when I get a better idea of what mine are.

www.understandmyself.com/ It's a great resource!

Fun to be reading them!

I love that! Sounds like it works perfectly! :)

Happy to help :)

Fantastic! I'd love to hear your thoughts when completed! I'm enjoying it as well.

I can imagine it gets very taxing! Different jobs and life circumstances require very different things from people, no doubt.

@@blakenorton1608 Yes! I'm a therapist and taking new clients. I'd be happy to chat to see if we can make it happen. Shoot me an email and we'll get the process started: ryan@greatoakstherapy.com

I loved her words as well!

@@savonnae.7246 Maybe I can find a way to make a video to help break some of the steps down. What are some areas you are wanting to make progress in?

@@NaveenKumarErroju Thanks for checking in. I'm clearly moving slow with it. The content is dense and I'm taking my time absorbing (going slower than I'd like). I'm curious as to your thoughts... I'm debating doing a review/reflection on each chapter as I go through, and then a final review once finished. Thoughts?

💪💪💪

Me too!

And you!

That's one of the big arguments for viewing/utilizing psychotherapy as preventative medicine/care and getting insurance on board with starting early and allowing check ins.

I agree. People are amazing things. Talking through things can go surprisingly far in someone's life.

@@melissaannmiller Me too! I think about it often.

The videos are meant to process thoughts out loud, not to try and sound intelligent. The shorts come from a bigger video that I am taking excerpts from. I'm happy with them! Thanks for engaging!

@@ecclecticsayonce5131 ❤

@@melissaannmiller Thanks! I appreciate it!

@@melissaannmiller Right?! 😄

🤣 FANTASTIC example! 💀

I think its good to consider it. There's also nothing wrong with finding joy and happiness in things that can be taken away. It's more about making sure we have meaningful things to ground our joy as well.

Looking forward to sharing them with you!

Thanks for tuning in and supporting! ❤

I would say that the deeper the meaningful thing is, and the clearer it is defined, the better. Clearly defined doesn't have to mean hyper-specific though. For example, if I deeply value truth and want to live a life of honesty in all situations, even when that honesty makes my life harder or prevents me from getting something, then it is defined enough. Thank you for the comment/thought!

​@@TheRyanMillerShow13 if life had no meaning, wld that make it any less precious?

@@theparodychannel7842 It might, yes. IT is surely worth exploring. I think this is a wonderful question and requires more attention than my comment can allow. I think my starting question is: Does anything precious become more so when it is also meaningful? Would we rather our precious things be meaningful or would rather them not? Thanks for offering your thought!

I really appreciate you saying so! Thanks for watching and sharing. Looking forward to sharing more.

That does sound amazing! I'd love to visit some day!

Time will tell! I believe that is why it is always good to do our part to help keep the world going when we can, and with the things we healthily influence with our strengths.

@ problem is we're fighting against fascist foreign governments who don't play by the same rules and spend billions on influencing Americans to do their job for them. How do you reach a generation who can't be reached and believe only propaganda now?

JK will scroll on phone longer

@@melissaannmiller You got me! Rest well when you get there!

@@matthewhensley5165 Sounds like quite the journey! Are you saying that people bringing up your tattoo sleeve is what made a big difference in helping with your social anxiety?
