  • In the season finale for Coming Back Better, Marjorie Morrison and Paul Deger explore self-care. The pandemic forced everyone to pause and reflect. We learned that prioritizing our physical and mental health is crucial, and doing so prepares us for the challenges life throws our way.

    “Anytime that we have a moment of pause, we are really thinking about what is meaningful to us. Who matters to us? What do we really want to be doing?...Really thinking about what is meaningful, what do we like to do, how do we allow ourselves to have down time.” - Dr. Deborah Cabaniss

    Taking all the lessons learned in the past 15 episodes, and bringing back many of the experts from this season, Paul and Marjorie discuss what self-care is, what steps we can take to be more mindful, and reflect on what this season taught us.

  • During the pandemic, care delivery had to adapt quickly to lockdowns as demand for services increased. This shift required providers and patients alike to make an unexpected pivot to telehealth. Now, three years into COVID, telehealth is here to stay. What have we learned about this new way to access and meet our healthcare needs? And how can we make it work better for us all?

    “Just because you are not seeing the person in-person, you should still feel empowered to try to get a situation that makes you feel as comfortable as you can be. And if you don’t feel comfortable, you are always allowed to try to get a better situation for yourself” - Deborah L. Cabaniss, MD

    Join Paul and Marjorie as they discuss how telehealth has changed mental health and what it means for accessibility and care for patients.

  • “Are you an introvert or an extrovert?” You’ve heard the question before. And you’ve probably heard that the pandemic affected each group differently. But how accurate are these labels? And do any of us actually fall into only one category?

    We are complex and multifaceted beings. How we engage and derive energy from the world around us is unique to each individual. How do you feel after hanging out in a group setting? Is your energy rejuvenated or depleted? Our hosts explore these and other questions in this week’s episode to better understand what makes all of us tick.

  • Can AI become a part of our mental health journeys? Recently, we’ve seen rapid development in this space, with the creation of apps, an increase of use in Virtual Reality for exposure therapy and even virtual therapists. How do we leverage these powerful technologies and keep the human in mental health care?

    “You could say that AI never tires, it is always available, it has encyclopedic knowledge of all clinical practice and all clinical conditions, and it remembers everything. But
 there's something about interacting with a human that expresses empathy, shows that they understand your situation and can be honestly critical
 those are powerful things too. Is there a middle ground here?” - Dr. Alber “Skip” Rizzo

    Our hosts sit down with experts and discuss how tech and AI are being applied to the mental health space and where they see mental health technology going in the future.

  • Events of the past few years have driven more conversations about systemic racism, diversity and inclusion. The pandemic exposed the racial disparities in the healthcare system. During the lockdown, we also had the shared experience of watching the murders, violence and hate crimes towards individuals from the BIPOC community on the news and in our social media feeds.. Following the lead of our youth, people of all ages and backgrounds have come to realize that the conversation needs to change and action needs to be taken to move us forward towards an inclusive and equitable future.

    “There is also a space for understanding that the health inequities including the mental health inequities, put a huge burden on a specific population of our nation, of our communities. That then puts a burden on all of us because we are all affected.” - Dr. Patrice Malone

    Our hosts, Marjorie Morrison and Paul Deger are joined by two experts and discuss how the conversation around race changed as well as what is being done by companies, institutions and individuals to bring change and make the new normal more inclusive.

  • During the height of the pandemic, many of us were cut off from our usual contact with friends and family, missing out on celebrations at our homes or maybe just meeting at the corner coffee shop to catch up.. Overnight, we went from warm hugs to distant waves to a 2D image on a screen. This isolation led many of us to experience new levels of loneliness. Unfortunately, as we move past the pandemic, we are still seeing increased feelings of loneliness worldwide.

    “Let’s get comfortable being uncomfortable. One of the things that makes it worse when you are feeling lonely is you don’t know what to do, you don’t know how to reach out, and you don’t know what to say. So, I think that the key is just do it: jump into the deep end.” Dr. Bita Rivas

    Join us on this episode of Coming Back Better, as Marjorie Morrison and Paul Deger dive a little deeper into what loneliness is and how our community can be the key to helping us leave isolation behind.

  • The pandemic created a pause in business as usual and invited many of us to reflect on our world. For many younger people who were already experiencing climate distress, this reflection led to a call to action on climate issues. This reflection and action unfolded within a period of polarization that cracked open even further with COVID-19, with no end in sight.

    On this episode of Coming Back Better, Paul Deger is joined by Executive Producer Jacob Morrison and several esteemed guests to discuss how to understand and manage climate distress in a world reaching levels of polarization not seen in our lifetimes. We also explore how community can resolve this distress and resolve rifts.

  • During the pandemic, our routines got thrown out the window. Some used the extra time at home or away from friends to prioritize their sleep, eating and exercising, while others took on new hobbies like playing an instrument. At the same time, many found it harder to sleep well, eat healthy, or get outside.

    Join us on this episode of Coming Back Better, as Marjorie Morrison and Paul Deger dive a little deeper into how sleep and nutrition were impacted during the pandemic and what we can do to continue fostering positive changes in our habits and behaviors.
