Episode 2: Childhoods
House of Games
01/14/20 • 22 min
Trigger Warning: This podcast is a memoir of child abuse and neuroscience. It is fully sound produced and experiential. The content may be triggering to some individuals.
Episode 2 is another audio book format memoir about my parents. It is a continuation of Episode 1 and sets the stage for a background on my parents' mental illness. In this episode I explore the origins of their behaviors including both of them undergoing brain surgery. I also explore how I made sense of the child abuse and what I understand about the ways abuse affects a child's brain.
I reference books and studies on interpersonal neurobiology:
Van der Kolk, Bessel A. The Body Keeps the Score : Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma : Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review. Instaread, 2015.
Siegel, Daniel J. Pocket Guide to Interpersonal Neurobiology : an Integrative Handbook of the Mind. 1st ed., W.W. Norton, 2012.

Episode 1: Two Criminals

Episode 1: Two Criminals
What kind of man drives a 1969 two door holiday coupe cutlass supreme with bucket seats and a console in the middle with a removable compartment where weed and other drugs can be stored? What kind of secret life does a middle class chemist living in a small three bedroom suburban tract house have? Who leads double lives. Follow the lie. In my father’s case it’s the mask of a sociopath.
Note from the author:
House of Games examines the darkest recesses of my own childhood trauma and the ways it affected those around me. I have spent decades asking why...doing research and interviews. This podcast will weave together the story and the unexpected answers I’ve found. I attempt to explain how brain science frames my own experiences and offer stunning examples of society’s fascination with mental illness, brain science, and dysfunction.
Episode 1 is part of the audio collage House of Games. Chapter 1 is narrated by the author, embedded in a sound scape production .
