The Rock & Roll Shrink

At the opening of this podcast and after playing a piece of rock history, Dr. Mathis gives a brief overview of some classic rock songs, artists, and equipment used to make some of the well-known material that has become part of the history of the rock music landscape. On a professional note, he talks about the power of planning and especially how small decisions that people make often have big consequences that are unexpected. Usually, they are not even aware of the many smaller steps and unconscious processes (often that are more based in emotional, rather than logical or reality-based thinking distortions) that underlie big decisions and actions; however, if people wish to have different results, they must become aware of these underlying thoughts and feelings, employ better “reality” planning and self-evaluation skills without resorting to negative emotions or self-flagellation, and be willing to practice and execute them in real time until they achieve the desired results.
