#32 – Dr. Jantz Discusses How to Deal With a Narcissist
A narcissist will exaggerate achievements and expect to be recognized as superior without accomplishments to support it. They have a heightened sense of self-importance and are pre-occupied with fantasies of achievement, brilliance, beauty, and more. They demonstrate a sense of entitlement, and they want and expect to be treated with extra favor, automatic compliance, and excessive admiration.
They believe they are special, unique, and can only be understood by other special, high-status individuals. Notably, there is a lack of empathy and compassion for others.
As a mental health counselor, I have treated a number of people who fit this narcissistic behavior. Many people exhibit one or more of these issues occasionally, and even frequently. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are narcissists. And we need to be mindful of using labels when we talk about individual behavior. Narcissism is deeply engrained and persistent over time. And it is, again, characterized by a lack of empathy.
Narcissism is challenging to overcome. It is a deep-rooted sense of self that stimulates and sustains the ego. It is a power thing, and often imposed on “victims.” A first step is for the narcissist to see that they actually have a disorder. Once that realization occurs, then the process of creating a more balanced, even, and compassionate life needs to occur.
But this podcast is intended for the victims of those who are in a relationship with a narcissist.
In this podcast, I help the listener understand what defines a true narcissist. Then we talk about what you can do if you are in a relationship with a narcissist. If you are, you understand the victimization that can take place. Finally, I provide some actions and techniques you can incorporate to begin healing.

#31 – Dr. Jantz Discusses Keys to Resilience
In this post-pandemic, stress-filled world, we need to be able to triumph over daily challenges – triumph over trauma, over emotional struggles, over physical and spiritual challenges, and more.
During the pandemic, we became saturated with anxiety, chronic stress, depression, and maybe some addiction or substance abuse issues. Suddenly, this accumulation led us to break from reality. I call this a reality break resulting from oppressive anxiety.
Most of us are somewhere within the spectrum of post-pandemic stress and saturation. Some are still struggling mightily with high anxiety saturation. Others are still just feeling “blah,” like you can’t get your old mojo back.
But now is the time to experience post-pandemic growth. In this podcast, I’m going to talk about how to not just keep yourself emotionally well, but to keep growing and achieving triumph over the challenges of daily life.
The key is to create consistent resilience, reinforced by hope, strength, and balance.

#30 – Dr. Jantz Discusses Overcoming Anxiety and Phobias (Especially for Gen Z)
What happens when phobia and anxiety take hold of your life? For many of us, and especially Gen Z, we continue to struggle with a society that seems filled with stress, worry, and fear. There is a newer term that psychologists are using to describe the hopelessness and apathy being felt by many – especially Gen Z. It is the term foreshortened future. A foreshortened future describes those who don’t see any hope for the future, who are struggling to sense their place in society, feel apathy and often withdraw from daily life.
In this podcast, Dr. Jantz helps us understand why we feel such anxiety in today's world. He goes over phobias that can take hold of our thoughts, making us feel, say, and react in ways that are not who we want to be.

#29 – Dr. Jantz Discusses Triumph Over Trauma, Part 2
While the word trauma can feel uncomfortable, and the definition of trauma may seem broad, it does have a definition that we can all relate to. Trauma can be either a one-time event, or a series of events, that causes great emotional pain that is overwhelming, and that we don't typically recover from. It usually has whole person implications – emotional health, physical health, immune health, relational, spiritual, and more.
The pandemic exacerbated trauma. We had anticipatory anxiety. It triggered a lot of latent, past trauma. We are noticing that a huge increase in unresolved trauma, and it is often more pronounced and debilitating that depression or anxiety.
Left untreated, the effects of trauma often get worse. The good news is that trauma is not just treatable, but can be overcome. It requires care, and a plan to recover. There are no shortcuts. There are newer tools that can be helpful...but there are no short cuts to recovery.
In this podcast, Dr. Jantz covers the 10 significant truths to trauma. He explains what the characteristics are of someone who lives with unresolved trauma. And finally, he walks through ways you can help improve and begin to work through your trauma on a daily basis.
Trauma does not have to be a life sentence. Forward this podcast to friends who may be struggling with trauma. It may manifest in depression, anxiety, excessive worry and fear, or quick-to-anger behavior. In each case, this podcast may be a great resources to begin the recovery process.

#28 – Dr. Jantz Discusses Triumph Over Trauma
If there is one issue we know about the cause of depression, anxiety, addiction, and mental health struggles...it can be traced back to unresolved trauma. Trauma can be excruciatingly painful. It lingers. It resurfaces. It hides around the corner to confront us at inopportune times. It saps us of our confidence, our strength, and our happiness.
Often referred to as PTSD, or post-traumatic disturbances, trauma stems from a singular or series of dramatic and potentially shocking events. It can be from the battlefield in war. It can be from seeing a horrific accident. It can result form violence inflicted upon yourself, or another. It can be from an intensely abusive relationship, or sexual assault. It can be from the sudden loss of a loved one.
The question ultimately becomes, "how do I resolve my trauma and move on in a healthy and productive way?"
It begins by looking at the root causes of the trauma. They may be from childhood. They may be from a recent difficult relationship. It could be from suppressed memories from the battlefield. It could be a combination and accumulation of those and others.
Once the root causes are understood, then the work of resolving those life episodes needs to begin. Therapy is almost always the best way for someone to achieve resolution, and to regain the confidence and strength they need to live a fulfilled and balanced life moving forward.
If you experience trauma, there is HOPE! We know from therapeutic results, that trauma is not just treatable, but can be overcome.
In this podcast, Dr. Jantz helps us understand how life events can lead to trauma. He explains what the characteristics are of someone who lives with unresolved trauma. And finally, he walks through ways you can help improve and begin to work through your trauma on a daily basis.
In today's post-pandemic, high-stress world we live in, trauma is at epidemic levels. This podcast can help those who struggle with it.

#27 – Dr. Gregory Jantz Discusses How to Achieve Emotional Wellness
The Holy Grail of mental health – emotional wellness. It is the goal for all of us. But how can we achieve it in a world that can feel like it pushes, and pressures, and batters us with new challenges on a daily basis.
Mental health challenges – whether depression or anxiety, relationships and emotional abuse, PTSD, or an eating disorder – have a ripe environment to thrive in today's society.
But there is HOPE! Today, we know more about the brain, our physiology, and the connection between sleep, fitness, and nutrition and our mental health, than ever before. Armed with that knowledge, there are steps we can take every day to cleanse and strengthen our mental health.
In this podcast, Dr. Jantz explains the history of mental health treatment, and why today we have more knowledge and tools than ever before. He then explains the keys to emotional wellness. Emotionally well people share common characteristics:
• An ability to deal with reality
• Emotion regulation
• Ability to manage unpleasant emotions
• Ability to adapt to change – a new job, moving...normal life changes
• Can initiate forgiveness and shows grace
• Can let go of anger, bitterness, resentment, and toxic emotions
• Has the capacity to give and receive love
• Practices gratitude
• Has optimism and hope for the future
These characteristics may be challenging at times, as life presents unique challenges. But emotionally healthy people always re-center back to these traits. Are you there? Do you need help getting there? Start by journaling and affirming these positive attributes in your thoughts, words, and actions. Be consistent, and do it daily. Recognize when you lapse, and strive to do better. Over time, your thought/word/action pattern will take root.
Forward this podcast to friends who may be struggling with their emotional wellness.

#26 – Dr. Gregory Jantz Discusses Silent Depression in Relationships
Depression is at epidemic levels, and shows no signs of abating post-pandemic. It is the second most diagnosed health issues in America.
But what is "silent depression," and why is it so prevalent – and not discussed – in relationships?
Silent depression is something we work hard to hide. Silent depression can be silent simply because the person doesn't recognize they are in a depressed state. Another way it is silent is by the individual suppressing known symptoms, or discounting and denying it. Either way, the depression is real.
The danger of silent depression is that everything feels normal, because it has evolved over time. The result is long-term,, deep-seated depression that can take more time and therapy to resolve. It can erode intimacy, control mood, behavior, social engagement, and effect one's entire quality of life.
In this podcast, Dr. Jantz explains how one can find themself in silent depression, and then what to do about it. This is particularly present in long-term marriages and other close relationships. It results in emotional isolation.
Forward this podcast to friends who may be struggling with silent depression in their relationships.

#25 – Dr. Gregory Jantz Discusses Enmeshment Trauma, a Form of Dysfunctional Relationships
Enmeshment trauma. It sounds severe, but what is it? Enmeshment refers to a type of codependency where one becomes enmeshed in another to the point where their identity revolves around someone else. It is an encompassing "reality" where one feels they can't exist without not just the other person, but also without their historical experiences upon which to draw. When the potential loss of that relationship becomes a possibility, severe trauma can be felt.
This is stronger than a normal breakup, which can be very difficult in its own right. Couple that with the perceived loss of identity – and the potential loss of all that is enmeshed in one's identify – and you can see how it can go from difficult to traumatic. Without help, not just recovery is very challenging. but the ability to avoid continual enmeshment in each future relationship becomes harder and harder.
Recovery from enmeshment can take a long time, and relapse is a very real concern. Surrounding one's self with strong, balanced, and healthy people is a good start.
In this podcast, Dr. Jantz explains what enmeshment trauma is, how it makes you feel, and how it can develop insidiously over time. He then offers tools to help overcome enmeshment.

#24 – Dr. Gregory Jantz Discusses Sleep, Its Importance to Mental Health, and How to Improve Your Sleep Quality
When it comes to discussing mental health, we don't usually think of sleep as one of the first topics. But you could argue that improving the quality of our sleep could have a more dramatic impact on our mental well-being than almost anything else. We all know we feel better after a good night’s sleep, and that we are more irritable and hazy when sleep deprived. But there now is scientific evidence showing sleep is critical to not just our physical health, but our mental health as well. In fact, not enough, or poor-quality sleep is shown to increase negative emotional responses to stressors, while decreasing positive emotions.
When we are getting consistent, restful, deeper REM sleep, we have more physical and mental energy, and our body doesn't need to work as hard to focus and complete tasks. We have more strength to withstand challenging situations, and have a more positive outlook on life.
But wanting good sleep, and getting good sleep can be two different stories. Why is quality sleep so elusive to so many of us? And are there things we can do in our daily routine to help without resorting to prescriptions or strong over the counter products?
In this podcast, Dr. Jantz explains what contributes to poor sleep, how it makes you feel, and what consistently poor sleep can do to our mental health. He then gives us practical tips that we can all do to help improve our quality of sleep.
You don't want to miss this podcast – it may be the one that literally gives you a new lease on life!

#23 – Dr. Gregory Jantz Discusses Agoraphobia and How to Overcome It
You may have heard a relatively new or uncommon word lately from the family of anxieties – agoraphobia. In fact, while traditionally fairly rare (affecting 1-2% of the population), we are seeing a dramatic increase in it post-pandemic.
But what is agoraphobia? It is an extreme or irrational fear of entering crowded places, leaving one's home, or being in areas where escape is harrowing.
In his new memoir, Spare, Prince Harry shares his past struggle with agoraphobia. This has brought light to an affliction with which many suffer in silence.
Whether rational or not, the physical and psychological effects of agoraphobia are very real. It is a form of anxiety that may affect more than 10 million Americans, and is on the rise. It is more prevalent in women than men. We are talking about more than just getting nervous to address the crowd at a conference or a Chamber of Commerce dinner. That is a normal reaction when one is unaccustomed to having many people stare at them while speaking.
Agoraphobia goes well beyond that. The mere thought of leaving the house to get groceries can cause an intense fear and physical reaction, Left untreated, agoraphobia can worsen over time. In fact, only about 10% of people who suffer from Agoraphobia will recover without treatment.
In this podcast, Dr. Jantz explains what agoraphobia is, how it makes you feel, and what we can do to overcome it.

#22 – Dr. Gregory Jantz Discusses PTSD and How to Overcome It
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health challenge. But it can also be confusing – confusing for some professionals to correctly diagnose, and confusing for the one suffering from it. We know that PTSD almost certainly involves depression as well as anxiety. Both can appear independently, or simultaneously. In either case, PTSD can be debilitating, making the one suffering feeling like they need to withdraw, like there is no hope, that any social situation situation can instantly become an embarrassing and very uncomfortable place they need to escape from.
We often refer to military veterans, especially those returning from serious conflict and war, as being highly susceptible to PTSD. And that is very true. We need to take care of the mental health of our military members. But PTSD can occur to anyone. If there was trauma in the past, it can not only linger, but fester and cause increasingly more difficult challenges as one gets older.
In this podcast, Dr. Jantz explains what PTSD is, how it can affect us, and what we can do to overcome it.

#19 – Dr. Gregory Jantz Discusses Trust After Betrayal
One of the most difficult things to do in life is to trust someone again after they have betrayed you. Even if your mind tells you it is okay to trust again, the heart can have a block that can feel impossible to break through.

#16 – Dr. Gregory Jantz Discusses Seasonal Affective Disorder
Have you been asking yourself questions like “I feel sad for no reason?” or “Why am I so tired all the time?” Have these questions started popping up alongside a sudden change in the weather?
If you said “yes” to any of the above, a condition known as seasonal affective disorder (or SAD for short) could be the culprit.
Also known as seasonal depression or the “winter blues,” seasonal affective disorder is a unique form of depression. It typically begins and ends around the same time each year and, as the name suggests, is related to seasonal changes.
If you struggle with seasonal affective disorder, you probably notice that your symptoms begin in the fall and last through winter, getting better when the weather starts to warm up and the days start to lengthen once again.
In about 10 percent of people with seasonal affective disorder, symptoms occur instead during the spring and summer, then get better in the fall and winter.

Healthy relationships. We all want them in our lives. But how to we attract them, how do we build them, and how do we keep them healthy?
Dr. Jantz discusses how to achieve healthy relationships through the power of positive connection. In a recent survey, 61% of Americans said they were lonely. Of those, most said they cannot identify even one close friend. Many of us didn't have a strong relationship mentor. We observed, but those relationships we watched were frequently not the best. So, we may not have any real foundation to know what healthy connection looks and feels like.
Often, we move toward acceptance, though that might not be the healthy choice. So, what are the things that keep us from healthy relationships? And what are the things we can do to invest in positive connection and healthy relationships?
