When @JMarzinsky48407 began working at Central State Hospital, he says what he encountered challenged his expectations. Patients were carrying on conversations he could hear only one side of, like listening to someone on the telephone. He became curious about the other side. What were they hearing? What were the voices telling them? And what might he learn by asking? In this clip, Jerry tells @DrMcFillin and @TracyAThurman about the experiences that prompted him to listen more closely and question what he had been taught.

These accounts raise questions about expectation, hope, and the weight of the words we hear about our health. It’s part of the bigger conversation behind You Don’t Always Get What You Want. You Get What You Believe. Watch the full episode at radicallygenuine.com.

How did “chemical imbalance” become the story so many of us were told about mental health? Tomorrow on Radically Genuine, we’re joined by philosopher and author @justin_garson for a conversation about the history of psychiatry, the family experience that led him to investigate it, and the ideas that still shape how we understand ourselves. His book, The Madness Pill, follows the experiments and personalities behind a major shift in psychiatric thinking.

Picture the car. Put it on your vision board. Wait. Months later, there’s still no car... so you decide manifestation is a scam. But what if the version you were sold missed the point? In this clip, @DrMcFillin and @TracyAThurman challenge the pop-culture version of manifestation: focusing on what you want without examining what you actually believe. You might want something while believing you’re incapable of having it. That belief can shape what you notice, the opportunities you pursue and the actions you take.
