Hate and Racism: Are they mental illness?
Explicit content warning
06/02/22 • 46 min
Y'all... I'm tired. Are you tired? I'm angry, hurt, frustrated and SICK of us ignoring the obvious impact of 2 core human issues: Hate and Racism.
In this episode, I'm going to explain why racism is a delusional condition and hate absolutely IS a state of mind that should be classified as mental illness! The sooner we begin to understand the underlying mental illness that all humans are experiencing, the faster we can evolve society to address these issues. One cannot solve a problem we have not named.
All humans are one race, so any concept that there are multiple races is a delusional product of primitive human interpretations of one another. Until we acknowledge this and change our mental, verbal and official language about this, we will continue to fester in the imaginary impact of racism.
Hate is a toxic mix of FEAR and dysfunctional LOVE. It is an addictive sensation, driven by our pleasure chemical DOPAMINE, and it is fueling the hellscape that Earth has become. We must understand our brain, biology and behavior in order to survive. This is an urgent SOS to humanity. PAUSE and address your own mental health.

Empathy Heals!!!
"Trauma hurts. Empathy heals."
Have you wondered lately, WTF is wrong with humans? Everywhere you look, there are traumatic events and painful reminders that we are going through an emotional, spiritual and psychological crisis. We want answers for how to stop mass killings, political division, addiction crises and beyond, yet those answers seem slow in arriving, as we witness more and more chaos. Yet, I do believe that there is a cure for what ails humanity, and it's available to all of us through a simple, yet profound, built in biological tool: Empathy.
In this episode, Dr. Alauna makes the case for why Empathy is the key to mental health healing and explains how LOVE can heal us all!

Treating America's Addiction to Violence
Dear friend, I'm sorry to have to tell you, but we, human beings, allaus , unfortunately, are struggling with an addiction to violence. It's not your fault, because of the way our global society has evolved, now in 2022, we are all caught up in a devastating cycle of trauma and addiction, fueled by one important, powerful (but short lasting) pleasure chemical, Dopamine. American society is uniquely addicted to violence, because aggression and force has been a core principle that defined power and "right", through the entire history of our country, from before 1776 to present.
In this episode of Minding Your Amygdala, Dr. Alauna breaks down why it is not only TOXIC, but dangerous for America to continue to ignore this critical public health issue, our collective addiction to violence. We are steeped in images that depict violence: our history books, cartoons, TV shows, film, sports, comedy, politics and news have accepted and rewarded violent, dopamine-inducing words, thoughts and culture. As we begin to accept that we have a problem, we can begin creating effective, multi-layered solutions to address our gun and violence crisis. We no longer need to wonder what's wrong... the answer is, we are primitive and addicted to our biological impulses. Yet, there is a way to heal...
Let's all do our individual healing work to break the trauma cycle. Learn more with Dr. Alauna at The Trauma C.U.R.E. - Creators using Radical Empathy, June 22-24th!
