Jami Fregeau is a neurodivergent nurse who goes by the name The Neurodivergent Nurse.She's the host of an excellent podcast called The Neurodivergent Nurse, and runs one of my top favourite  ADHD instagram accounts, @theneurodivergentnurse. Jami has a great brain in her skull and I fully dig how she approaches ADHD.  I talk too much on this one and tried an experiment where I thought I might try to tell every guest the whole story and see what they have to say until eventually, someone would be like "OH! I know how to fix this". Upon reflection - definitely not gonna do that. , It'd get old real fast if it wasn't too much already,  and lesson learned about not speaking more than your guest.   It's a learning curve overhear at the Dang Lantern Podcast. LinksThe Neurodivergent Nurse on Apple PodcastsThe Neurodivergence Nurse on SpotifyThe Neurodivergent Nurse on Instagram

A whole bunch of words about not being able to say stuff.

In this episode, we review six reasons a Something can be hard to talk about. Brought to you by Ineffabili Teas - The teas that leave you speechless.

In this episode, I play a recording of myself talking to one of my best friends shortly after I got out of the mental hospital. The first 20 minutes are build-up, and then the real story starts.

Stan Grof, Aldous Huxley, and a Platypus walk into a Canadian psychiatric hospital...

A dive into language, ineffability, and the real-world consequences of not being able to explain things across certain gaps.

In this episode, I read a piece I put on the website Medium in April 2020. It's called: "Spirituality" is like a mode in a Video Game.The question, again, is "why would someone act like this if Spiritual experiences practically don't exist, according to the DSM."Video Games and Enlightenment by Frank Yang:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeW0BjF4xvQ

In this episode, I read the first two posts I put on Facebook about this whole thing, and ask "why would I do that if I didn't have some kind of non-ordinary experience"?

In this episode, I read some letters from fans such as  Kim Jong Un and a Sockeye Salmon, and address their accusations of grandiosity. 

Despite the fact that it does not operate in accordance with neuroscience or clinical studies, psychiatry continues to dominate mainstream mental health. This episode examines some of the societal scaffolding that props up this ineffective, outdated, and myopic approach to human psychology.

 Although brain scans show the related neural activity,  and more and more scientists attest to experiencing them, mainstream mental health nerds do not acknowledge that mystical states exist. As a result, we are pathologizing joy and healing.
