Welcome to our latest podcast episode, where we delve into the intricate world of constructs. Constructs serve as the scaffolding of our understanding, akin to mental models, guiding us through the complexities of our existence. They aid us in deciphering the world’s intricacies, offering both clarity and confusion. However, to ensure our mental landscapes remain healthy and unbiased, we must periodically scrutinize our constructs for accuracy and impartiality. Join us in this episode as we explore the profound impact of constructs on our perception of the world and emotional well-being, uncovering the delicate balance between their benefits and pitfalls.

Bad Therapy: A Book that People Will Love or Hate
I have been telling my friends for years that conservatives were going to be coming for therapy. And in many ways, it’s deserved. We have more money, time, resources, and energy focused on mental health and don’t have results that match. Therapy is mainly run by people with a liberal orientation to life and politics.
