Jim Fleigner’s Post

This week's episode is pretty personal. To be perfectly honest with you, it's not something I've ever shared publicly but it's time to unmask. As you listen, I invite you to consider the masks you wear and if they're still serving you. In addition to "coming clean" in this episode, I'm sharing the 4 layers of emotions, how to decode their language, and get to the source code of a feeling so that you can feel it, heal it, and be free to fully express yourself. Give it a listen here:

It's Friday! Today we're looking at impulsivity and impulse control. This topic was brought up by one of our listeners, and seemed to fit a variety of different neurodivergencies. I have a couple stories from my childhood, a couple from my adulthood, and a couple as they relate to my son. We'll explore some reasons behind the impulsivity, and how to reign it on in. #ASD #ADHD #leftofnormal

What could be a positive proactive successful post here on LinkedIN? What can I write in this post to actually get the attention, create a dialogue, connect with people who truly feel a desire to be a part of the conversation around the mental health crisis surrounding our youth? Who truly wants to support, advocate, get behind projects that can help heal and offer new perspectives to the problems? Who hears in their mind when they think on the mental health crisis in our youth many answers to the problems? Like banning phones in schools, banning social media for kids under 16, getting kids out there playing with each other in person, in safe environments and extracurriculars. Who is out there wanting to be a part of a feature film, tv series or new play about these subjects? A project that can raise up the awareness and conversation around mental health in our youth through art, storytelling and community. As an actor, writer and filmmaker in certain marketplaces; it feels like there are small tiny itty bitty little cracks in the systems in place that offer possible opportunities for an artist like me to get a project off the ground, and I am not going to stop until that tiny bit of light opens up for me to enter. Storytelling is how we all learn about each other. How history teaches us. How philosophy, messages, ideas, opinions and growth happen. How generations after generations find a sense of worthiness, safety, fulfillment and lovability within their relationships and interpersonal experiences. There are some positives within the speed of the Information Age and technology, but for young people social media takes advantage and spreads extreme messages. Look at the level of antisemitism spreading around college and universities spread evil and hatred. I have been educated at the highest level in my field of acting and writing. It is not foreign to me how hard my industry is to make a living, find success and create wonderful collaborations. It is tough at times for us to lift ourselves up, dust off the past four years of changes to our world since COVID and do some thing good for our children. So join me in the creation of something wonderful. Considering the mental health of Gen Z and our youth. Here's a wonderful book to help guide "The Anxious Generation" https://lnkd.in/e8S2aW5F https://lnkd.in/ghm3W_PC

The Ultimatum Season 2: Episodes 5-8 | Therapist Review: Have you been in a relationship where manipulation and control took over? Covert emotional manipulation occurs when a person who wants to gain power and control over you uses deceptive and underhanded tactics to change your thinking, behaviour and perceptions. In season 2 of The Ultimatum- Marry or Move chaos and drama took a front-row seat. As a therapist, I will react and discuss the role-specific themes played in each relationship.

Please pick up the signs of how skilled covert manipulators are adept at reading you and they quickly learn your weaknesses, strengths, fears, dreams, and desires. #ultimatum #ultimatum2 #newepisodes #theultimatum #tvshow #datingshow #mentalhealth #selfimprovement
