Fresh Start with Dr. David

The ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast Fresh Start with Dr. David (Refresh, Reset, Reboot, & Rejuvenate Your Mind, Spirit, Soul and Psyche) The ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast is a podcast where I introduce and chat about a variety of topics related to mental health and wellness, psychiatry, medicine, health, wellness, diet, nutrition, life, life direction, life purpose, self improvement, self development, self awareness, insight, personal growth, personal and professional development and evolution, technology, American living and a host of other topics. During ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcasts, I share my approaches to mental health and wellness, the concepts that I use across my practices, and topics of interests from my current books and any upcoming books. My reason for starting the ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast is my firm belief that the current mental health and wellness system in the United States is really not a system. And, It’s BROKEN. It’s a group of frequently unaligned and unconnected parts that usually fail to synchronize, leaving patients lost, confused and exasperated. In addition, unfortunately, our healthcare system & our mental health system are so married to the pharmaceutical industry that it’s practically impossible to separate them from one another. Our healthcare and mental health care systems are generally focused upon addressing the symptoms of problems, conditions & disorders, but they often fail to address the underlying root causes of those symptoms, which also frustrates and exasperates patients. In our mental health realm, patients are often prescribed medications that are not only tolerance building & habit forming, but directly & quickly lead to dependence & addiction, and unwanted side effects. In many cases, these patients are never informed about the potential of these medications to lead to tolerance, habit formation, dependence & addiction. Physicians are first asked to ”Do No Harm”, then tasked to ”Do Good.” However, when you marry that with industries (insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) whose primary goals are profit, then it leads to a number of conflicts of interest that the healthcare industry does not seem to want to address. In the present age, it seems to lead to the belief and policies that support it that the answer to all of life’s problems is to simply take a pill. I don’t believe that people need more pills. I believe that people need better answers and real solutions that get to the root causes of their problems & symptoms. I also believe that the medical education & training systems in America are broken, to the detriment of patients. I believe that many children, adolescents & young adults are not receiving the basics & foundations to be resilient in an ever complex & competitive world that increasingly requires more & more in order for resilience & success to be created. Finally, I believe that in many ways humanity needs to return to the basics of human life & decency, including the concepts, characteristics, traits, values, beliefs & foundational principles that define the best of who we are as a species.

7 Types of Boundaries You May Need 1) Physical Boundaries2) Sexual Boundaries3) Emotional or Mental Boundaries4) Spiritual or Religious Boundaries5) Financial and Material Boundaries6) Time Boundaries7) Non-Negotiable Boundaries
What is an example of a boundary?
Rivers, mountain ranges, oceans, and deserts can all serve as physical boundaries. Many times, political boundaries between countries or states form along physical boundaries. For example, the boundary between France and Spain follows the peaks of the Pyrenees Mountains, while the Alps separate France from Italy.
A boundary is a border and it can be physical, such as a fence between two properties, or abstract, such as a moral boundary that society decides it is wrong to cross. If you have no sense of boundaries, you probably annoy people sometimes by getting too close to them or talking about inappropriate topics.
What does a person with no boundaries look like?
Individuals who lack appropriate boundaries often struggle with telling others how they feel (for fear of rejection or ridicule), struggle with feeling burdened by how others perceive them (due to a desire to people-please), strive to make everyone happy with their performance (at work, in school, at home, etc.), and ...Jul 14, 2015
What Are Healthy Boundaries?
https://www.scienceofpeople.com/how-to-set-boundaries/
Healthy boundaries are the limits you place around your time, emotions, body, and mental health to stay resilient, solid, and content with who you are. These empowering borders protect you from being used, drained, or manipulated by others.
You can set boundaries around:
Emotional energyTimePersonal spaceSexualityMorals and ethicsMaterial possessions and financesSocial media
Boundaries can be set with:
Family FriendsRomantic relationshipsCoworkersStrangers
Though they aren’t as blatantly clear as a fence, wall, or “no trespassing” sign, healthy boundaries communicate to others what you will and will not tolerate. In short, boundaries empower you to take charge of your life.
Why Do You Need Boundaries?
Personal boundaries are at the root of a fulfilled, balanced life. Without them, people can quickly lose themselves in their work, relationships, familial obligations, or service to others. They can even wind up being exploited or taken advantage of by people who do not respect them.
These borders help define what you are willing to say “yes” to and what you decide to say “no” to. They give you a sense of agency and sovereignty over your decisions.
Like an internal compass, boundaries can all start with a “gut feeling” that tells you when you have the time or energy to devote to something versus when you need to say “no.”
Good boundaries free you to live life on your terms.
Healthy Boundaries vs. Unhealthy Boundaries
People with solid boundaries tend to have lower levels of stress and higher self-esteem because they prioritize their well-being.
On the other hand, people without boundaries may inadvertently let others take advantage of them. They may lack self-confidence, a sense of purpose, or a clear identity to guide them through life. Counselor Dr. Dana Nelson writes, “in work or in our personal relationships, poor boundaries lead to resentment, anger, and burnout.”
People without boundaries can be easily persuaded into things they don’t want to do because they may be acting out of guilt or obligation rather than self-love.
Signs of Healthy Boundaries Potential Signs of Unhealthy Boundaries
Protect yourself from getting taken advantage of
Vulnerable to being “used” or taken advantage of
Own your time
Over-commit your time to others and leave little time for yourself
High self-esteem and self-respect
Lower self-esteem and critical inner dialogue
Prioritize time for yourself
Give a lot of their time to other people
You only take on responsibilities you can handle; you don’t overcommit yourself Feeling exhausted or burnt out by overwhelming commitments and responsibilities
Authentically say “no” if you don’t have the energy or capacity to do something Have a hard time saying “no”Set limits for others without feeling bad
Feel guilty for expressing boundaries
Strong sense of identity and direction Change yourself to fit in with different people
Take care of your own problems and understand that you cannot heal other people’s issues for them
Take on other people’s problems as your own
You clearly communicate your needs and wants; you prioritize your self-care
You put other people’s needs and wants before your own
Suppose you’re tired of living your life for other people or find yourself exhausted by all the commitments you’ve made to others. In that case, it’s time to set some boundaries and reclaim the power of your time, energy, and mental well-being.
5 Effective Ways to Set Healthy Boundaries
Setting boundaries comes down to communication. Communicating your needs and desires is the most vital step toward defining your limitations and living a more liberated existence.
Visualize and Name Your Limits
The first and most important step to defining your boundaries is to make them concrete. Boundaries are often confusing and abstract because they feel invisible in our daily lives.
However, by visualizing your boundaries and writing them down, you can get much more clarity on where you want to draw the line between you and other people.
Set aside some time to reflect on the state of your life. Ask yourself:
What is causing me unnecessary stress or discomfort?What do I look forward to each day versus what do I dread?Who or what gives me energy?What areas of my life do I feel exhausted by?What makes me feel safe, supported, and valued?Draw a large circle on a blank piece of paper. Inside the circle, write everything that makes you feel safe and stress-free.
For example:
A daily routineWords of affirmation from your partnerHugs from your loved onesLeaving work stress in the officeClear communication from your loved onesFreedom to decide how you spend your free timeSaying “no” to energy vampires Autonomy over your body
On the outside of the circle, write down anything that causes you discomfort, pain, annoyance, or emotional exhaustion. These are the people or situations pushing the limits of your boundaries.
For example:
Your mom telling you what to do with your lifeWorking after-hours on projects instead of prioritizing your self-careWorrying about what certain people think about you Your cousin asking to borrow moneyYour coworker constantly dumping her relationship problems on you at lunchYour roommate eating your food from the fridgeYour boyfriend/girlfriend controlling who you talk to or hang out withStrange people at the bar touching you without askingAcquaintances asking deep or intimate questions about your lifeThis circle represents a visible manifestation of your limits. It’s time to take anything outside the circle and determine how you can define a boundary that will prevent or eliminate those issues in the future.
Openly Communicate Your Boundaries
One of the biggest mistakes people make is setting boundaries in their minds but not openly sharing them with the people in their life. Sometimes people assume that you should know their boundaries. But if they didn’t clearly communicate where they’ve drawn the line, how will you know when you’ve overstepped it?
This can seem daunting and scary, but it can feel like a significant relief once you get it out of the way. As social psychology researcher Brene Brown says, “clear is kind, unclear is unkind.” Once you know your boundaries, you have to communicate them.
Take a deep breath, gather your resolve, and assertively express your needs in a kind, direct way. Here’s how:
HOW TO CLEARLY COMMUNICATE BOUNDARIES
Time Boundary “I can only stay for an hour” or “If you’re going to be late, please let me know ahead of time.”Energy Boundary “I don’t have the energy to help you with [their request] right now, but maybe [this resource] can help.”Emotional Dumping “I understand you’re having a hard time and I want to be there for you, but I don’t have the emotional capacity to listen right now.”Personal Space Boundary “It makes me feel uncomfortable when you [touch or action]. If you can’t respect my space, I’ll have to leave.”Conversational Boundary “This is not a topic I’m willing to discuss right now.”Comment Boundary “I don’t find those types of comments funny.”Mental Boundary “I understand we see things differently and I respect your opinion, but please don’t force it on me.”Material Boundary “Please ask me first before borrowing my [possession]” or “I would appreciate it if you didn’t touch my [material thing].”Social Media Boundary “I don’t feel comfortable with you posting that on Instagram.”

Fresh Start with Dr. David - Season 2 - Episode 17 - Immigrant Struggles in The United States with Special Guest Eden
This is an episode that I did with a Special Guest, and client, Eden, about her struggles to remain in this country after graduating from college and having her temporary visa lost by the United States Postal Service, and helping her to be able to remain in this country (vs. having to fly back to Israel).
If you know of anyone who might be able to help Eden, who's looking for a job as a graphic illustrator, artist, tattoo artist, or in some other artistic or administrative capacity, please contact me so that I can reach out to Eden.
If you know of anyone who may have expertise in immigration law, or who may have contacts at the Consulate, Embassy, Immigration Offices or Department, United States Postal Services, or who know of a law firm, legal aid institution, synagogue, temple, or rabbi who may be able to help her remain in this country, please contact me.
Tune into this episode to listen first-hand to Eden and I discuss what happened to her and to come up with solution to her challenges to legally remain in this country.
Did you realize that after graduation from school (University, etc.), after applying for a temporary visa, legal immigrants only have 90 days to find employment to remain here? That's right, 90 Days? It's tough for an American Citizen who graduated from college to find a job in 90 days (considering processes associated with applying, interviewing, HR activities, etc.), much less for an immigrant. Isn't this just setting most immigrants up to fail to stay here legally?
The ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast is a podcast where I introduce and chat about a variety of topics related to mental health and wellness, psychiatry, medicine, health, wellness, diet, nutrition, life, life direction, life purpose, self improvement, self development, self awareness, insight, personal growth, personal and professional development and evolution, technology, American living and a host of other topics.
My reason for starting the ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast is my firm belief that the current mental health and wellness system in the United States is really not a system. And, It’s BROKEN. It’s a group of frequently unaligned and unconnected parts that usually fail to synchronize, leaving patients lost, confused and exasperated. In addition, unfortunately, our healthcare system & our mental health system are so married to the pharmaceutical industry that it’s practically impossible to separate them from one another.

Fresh Start with Dr. David
Are you struggling to reach your New Year's Resolutions (Weight Loss, Working Out, Walking, Running, Healthier Food Choices, Smaller Portions, No Sodas, Saving Money, Spending Less, Shopping Less, Investing More, Not Procrastinating, Making To Do Lists, Staying Organized, etc.)???
Would you like some healthy, holistic solutions?
The Fresh Start with Dr. David Podcast is a podcast where I introduce and chat about a variety of topics related to mental health and wellness, psychiatry, medicine, health, wellness, diet, nutrition, life, life direction, life purpose, self improvement, self development, self awareness, insight, personal growth, personal and professional development and evolution, technology, American living and a host of other topics.
During "Fresh Start with Dr. David" Podcasts, I talk about my approaches to mental health and wellness, the concepts that I use across my practices, and topics of interests from my current books and any upcoming books.
My reason for starting the ”Fresh Start with Dr. David” Podcast is my firm belief that the current mental health and wellness system in the United States is really not a system. And, It’s BROKEN. It’s a group of frequently unaligned and unconnected parts that usually fail to synchronize, leaving patients lost, confused and exasperated. In addition, unfortunately, our healthcare system & our mental health system are so married to the pharmaceutical industry that it’s practically impossible to separate them from one another.
Our healthcare and mental health care systems are generally focused upon addressing the symptoms of problems, conditions & disorders, but they often fail to address the underlying root causes of those symptoms, which also frustrates and exasperates patients. In our mental health realm, patients are often prescribed medications that are not only tolerance building & habit forming, but directly & quickly lead to dependence & addiction, and unwanted side effects. In many cases, these patients are never informed about the potential of these medications to lead to tolerance, habit formation, dependence & addiction.
Physicians are first asked to ”Do No Harm”, then tasked to ”Do Good.” However, when you marry that with industries (insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, etc.) whose primary goals are profit, then it leads to a number of conflicts of interest that the healthcare industry does not seem to want to address.
In the present age, it seems to lead to the belief and policies that support it that the answer to all of life’s problems is to simply take a pill. I don’t believe that people need more pills. I believe that people need better answers and real solutions that get to the root causes of their problems & symptoms.
Our nation needs a Fresh Start, a New Balance, and a Reset when it comes to health, wellness, and mental health. We’re past the point of more bandaids.
If you're ready for a Fresh Start in Life, beginning with some Solid Solutions, then Check Out, Subscribe & Rate the "Fresh Start with Dr. David Podcast!"
Everyone needs a Fresh Start, a Reboot, a Refresh and a Reset on a Regular Basis!
