Mental Health is attainable for anyone—especially those labeled with mental illness. Join artist, memoir writer, and bipolar psychiatric survivor, Jen Gaita Siciliano each Saturday at 10pm, as she challenges our world’s current limited understanding of mental illness in interviews with artists, healers, educators and shamans, who offer fresh perspectives on mental health and creativity. Episodes also include Jen’s personal writing on living as a bipolar creative, as well as news commentary that exposes psychiatry as an incompatible paradigm with the true landscape of the human mind. If you are ready for a new narrative on the mental realm in a place that celebrates crazy and cool without penalty, then Not As Crazy As You Think is for you!
In the episode, ”A Chat with Psychiatrist Dr. John Calvin Chatlos: Introducing the SOUL, or Science of Unitive Love (S6 E12),” Dr. Chatlos joins the show and discusses a framework of spirituality and how spiritual experience is organized in our human experience through every developmental stage of our lives. He shares recent psychological and psychedelic research that has provided new insights into the nature of spiritual experience. Not only is it real, but it is a fundamental core of human nature that has been subjugated out of awareness during human evolution. Dr. Chatlos describes a cosmological foundation worldview, which emphasizes interconnected, wholeness, and unity of all in alignment with modern physics, all from the Big Bang/Big Breath.
Dr. Chatlos introduces the Soul (Science of Unitive Love) and how self-worth and dignity are key to opening a spiritual core with mystical signs. By connecting to these ”gifts of the universe” we can usher in true healing and tap into our creative forces and thrive. Dr. Chatlos' vision of hope will inspire anyone that is troubled by the many crises for survival and happiness that are present in our world today.
