[EPISODE—Narrative Analysis] In this episode, Psychotherapist, Michael Drane (@upcmd) dives into the story of a small, but powerful cult known as The Children of Thunder. Glenn Taylor Helzer, an infamous cult leader and murderer. Everything in his life was the perfect combination to create such a narcissistic "prophet," including a strong Mormon upbringing, bizarre parenting, mission trips and of course, plenty of charm on his part. Listen to this episode of the podcast to hear Michael's take on the psychology of a cult leader. STAY TUNED: (Next week's UNPLUGGED is "Ranking Cults"). Should the Children of Thunder be included? #GodComplex

[EPISODE-Narrative Analysis] In this shocking episode of Unpopular Culture, Michael dives deep into a disturbing case of Stockholm Syndrome (or so it seems). Patty Hearst was an American heiress born in the 1950's, whose actions following her own kidnapping left most of America confused and horrified. Many did not believe her eventual claims of being brainwashed and tortured for almost 60 days by the SLA, because of the videos released of her spewing her captor's propaganda messages like "Death to America" and even ROBBING A BANK with her captors in 1974 in the Sunset District of San Francisco. In this episode: licensed psychotherapist, Michael Drane, discuss how being brainwashed works, and how to avoid letting it turn you into a blindly-obedient minion.

Doctor Psycho - Team UPC Talks About Coronavirus
play

04/09/20 • 43 min

People have been writing me asking for help for how to deal with the coronavirus

Like you, I’m deeply concerned about the state of where things are.

To make myself feel better, for lack of knowing any viral pathologists, I asked two of the smartest people I know about their take on the coronavirus.

This was initially a private conversation among friends, but about halfway through, we decided that if sharing this conversation helps educate people about how to protect themselves, then we should post it to UPC and encourage people to reach out to us with questions or stories they might have.

What you’re about to hear is a conversation between a therapist, tech expert, and a medical researcher. While none of us are viral pathologists, we are professional researchers in our own right.
