lowest, lee, i'm all and i wanted someone to study to be progressing ross, i used to shy finish this to show. so just for the i'm a fraction of putting this. i'm going to do friday is the, i'm gonna tell you the power of people from the fisher instrument, the temperature of induction to some of them is the meaning of power to make you able to defend your, your values. so this is the sole meaning of your power. you'll defend your survival and your so we see that russian power east, enough to defend our survival values, the gains that communities of powers with west the

which i thought there were some openings to students. the slow that was done. so right now i'm telling you agree, mr. late, the post is all on the at the is that i that's a get a minute come. other sponsor i need which is easy to saw on the screen. so of course ensure material which is in the stumbling. i didn't like the lock up, the funding is busy or above the little screw. well, in the middle of something in the we did present it to not the results would you 20 and they to bundle would you do me a solution for children? i'm comfortable which, which, which insidiously suit you in the process. the . we are back discussing a social media in the of fax it has on mental health so that our guest alicia

palmer olson, a license marriage and family therapist in san diego, california. she, they certified you have to therapist, trainer as supervisor and founder, and one of the directors of the emotionally focused couples training and research institute at a light internation university. thanks for joining us. there is a lot of focus on social media and mental health for young people. well, what about those were middle aged? what are we finding to be the effects on the mental health? those may be in the thirty's or forty's, or they're less negatives? well, i definitely think that being in the thirties and forties and are being affected by social media is a, is a real thing, because let's face it a lot of images on social media or photoshop. there's a young, a lot of young people posting images and somebody who's in their, you know, thirty's and forty's, and they're part of the aging process. a system is a real thing and you look at these images and you say like, well, i don't really look like that. and i really want to look younger and it goes back

again to not accepting yourself or maybe not feeling that you're good enough. and younger people struggle with that too. but maybe they're also struggling with not feeling good enough in their careers or not feeling like they're measuring up. and they're comparing themselves to take talk influencers, who are making multi millions of dollars and living this glamorous lifestyle. and they're like, well, but that's, that's not how it's actually happening for me. so they're comparing their lives in reality to their images online. and a lot of times there's, there's a huge discrepancy there that does affect their self esteem. a lot of people are going to use her plastic surgeons and saying, hey, i want to look more like my filter. and so that is a thing, you know, and people are kind of getting sick of paying for their, their face to in folders and saying, why can't i look more like this? so i think the idea of how someone is supposed to look is sort of changing because everything is seen through a filter not really seen through reality. and then we're talking probably talked to

talking fillers. we're talking the car dashing ends and figures that you know, have appear to look perfect in their own ways. you're going well, wait a minute. that's not really how i look naturally. so you're absolutely affecting people's self esteem and, and causing a lot of people to, to want to make those, those physical changes. what role does smartphones have in this? would there be a difference if a social media was only accessible on a desktop, therefore limited versus always being available in the palm of your hand? well, smartphones are actually real estate. i look at them as real estate because everybody has one and a desktop. you know, you can leave your computer, you can walk away, you don't really walk away from your smartphone a lot, people don't turn their smartphones off typically. so your smartphone is always with you. and again, it can be used for the positive or the negative, but i don't think we can really discount the power of

a smartphone. the power of an app. i mean, i'm developing an app my apps going to be positive, very inspirational for people. but there's a lot of applications out there that really are not positive for people. and i think people have to take responsibility for their own self, their own mental health and, and make better choices. um to to, you know, decide for what's going to be good for them and, and what is it when it comes to use of their smartphone, you know, and a time when gun manufacturers are being held accountable for crimes committed with their products. do you think it would be good for technology companies or the social media platforms to be held liable for the damage being done by their products? well, i mean, i think it's an interesting question. i mean, i think there can come a time for anything. i definitely think that companies need to take responsibility for their own morale and everything else when it comes to what it is that they're publishing for the general public to realize they're in fluid and so on,

people. and it really comes down to whatever their mission and their purposes. unfortunately, there's people in their companies out there that really don't care about anything but what goes in their pocket and in their book. and i think at the end of the day, the view or the audience, the person has to take responsibility for their own wellness and mental health to make better decisions for themselves regardless. so that could be applied any areas of their life. they could go to a bar and drink alcohol or they could choose not to. uh and again, it all comes down to a personal choice. is there discussion about social media and mental health only happening in western developed countries? or are we seeing it in places that are more traditional around the globe? well, obviously i live here in america, so i'm mostly exposed to america. i do work with patients globally, and i can tell you that this is a global issue because it's smartphones are global, or mostly everybody has a smartphone. but you do see in

a lot of other cultures where there is more of a sense of community and where maybe they are organizing differently around circumstances and, and some unfortunate circumstances of the culture that they have a greater sense of an inner peace in our whole in this community and those particular aspects of, of the person or another culture do kind of help the individuals of that culture to become more adaptable to negative circumstances because they're dealing with it from a more positive perspective. so a lot of that has to do with how you think about what's happening around you. so i do, i do kind of feel that when people are more united as a community, that there is a lot of power in that. and, and i mean,

real face to face interactions, what you see here a lot, and i hear a lot about this from, you know, especially from my patients is a huge amount of isolation. and the more people are depressed or the more they're anxious through. there is more of a tendency toward isolation and we saw that with the pin demick. people kind of installation became normalized hurt during the parent dynamic. so when, when people got out of the pin dynamic, they almost didn't know how to socialize, but western culture just in general we, that we promote independence in the 1st place. whereas a lot of other cultures, they have bit more of a community. they're still that getting together with family or helping each other out and seeing your neighbors and knowing your neighbors and, and maybe they're grouping when it comes to prayer or even religion or spirituality, or helping each other. right? so there is probably

a lot more of that that i see in other cultures versus sort of this independent mentality that, that were received more of here. i would say in america, whistle blowers have come out and said tick tock has specifically said algorithms in western countries all to spread these dangerous trends like eating type pods. choking challenges boards and spreading videos or depression and suicide were in china. the algorithm is set to spread videos on tick tock that are more educational . knowing this is the number one app kids are using all over the world. does this res, concerned? it does because when you, when you're talking about an online application that so many people have access to and that they're being influenced by. and it's literally something that they're watching before they go to bed at night. and when they wake up in the morning at the times with their brain waves are most susceptible and most influenced,

it does kind of raise concern if a lot of those messages may be negative and may normalize negatively. so of course that's going to be your concern and again, it goes back to people having to wake up and, and take responsibility for themselves. certainly companies should have a moral fabric about them and be aware of what it is that they're putting out there to the public. but people have to take a personal responsibility for themselves. at the end of the day, x phones are no phones, they have to look deep within themselves and say, how am i feeling, you know, am i happy with where i am? and am i seeing myself from a strength base perspective? and if the answer is no, and they feel that apply any platform may be affecting them, then they kind of need to detox from it and, and take a better look at themselves and make some changes. shouldn't governments impose limits just like they do with alcohol,

or is it too late to try and reverse something which already play such a large role in society? i mean, it's a really good question. i personally hate the idea of the government intervening and freedom and people's rights. but government intervenes all the time. i mean, you can't drive 90 down of 30 mile an hour zone. right. and the government, you know, they, they are setting certain standards and principles like, hey, you have to pay your taxes on time and you have to do this and that, and you know, in some, in some cases, rules are good. in some cases, rules do go too far, but when you consider the fact of okay, should government intervene and how much alcohol is served at a bar. people who don't have a drinking problem will say, hey, no, i want to just be able to have as many as i can, and there is a limit. but when you consider that, oh, the alcohol, a few goes into a bar and they don't stop. and they have a problem, maybe there should be a limit because then they're putting someone else in danger. so i really kind of flip flop both sides. and uh,

at the end of the day i think people safety is going to be the most important thing . and both sides of the spectrum, because when you have someone who has a genuine problem they, they really can't stop their problem. and a lot of times they can't even afford treatment because treatment for them could be you know, $60000.00 a month clause. so i think that the government may be, in certain cases, should look at some areas to intervene and not just not because they want to impinge on, you know, people's freedoms. but actually looking at freedom from the opposite side is that how can we keep every but he's safe? so at least i have to ask you, how do you help people disconnect a more from social media? well, for everybody it's a little bit different, but there are some things that are the same, which is that you have to reconnect to yourself and, and build upon some of your coping skills in your core belief systems and really start building that up. but like anything you have to actually reprogram your brain and when you start to get used to be a safe just being alone, you can slowly build confidence by slowly exposing yourself to

society, to situations you know, little by little by little. and unfortunately, you know, we have to sometimes step outside of the box of comfort in order to achieve the goals that we want to, to even take and take some risks. and it's, it's interesting a lot of people as much as they know that they may need to take risks in certain areas, are afraid of failure and they're afraid of, in some cases, they're also afraid of their own success. but we have to be able to take those rest and take small, but you know, significant steps toward where we want to, where we want to go and realize, hey, you know, it's, it's okay to, to feel a little bit uncomfortable. but as we get used to each situation and as we expose ourselves a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more, we realize that it's okay. and most of the time we realize i can do this. thank you so much for joining us. and dr at lisa palmer. yeah. social media, it's not going away any time soon. there aren't problems which have emerged as

a result. are just going to have to be dealt with. i'm scared now. hughes, and this has been who are 360 view of the news if i can you? thanks for watching the or the little to no. one, no, no, no, no, no, not for to most of the location of the unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had every now

through you know, to production with it. so it gives you or show the great deal to the youth. suddenly, a little bit through here. keep a move model uh, mazda thought, dismissed noon to one of our from the sale of that. i don't understand. i wish to know about the whole new. i know you gave him some more promotion to inside the scholar then why the whole party bill you cannot push the couch. so for those people to go to 00, want this on this to she my a new on it on site can send me someone gave me the yo yo, now i'm gonna put them out that they give us the

acceptance. and i'm going to plan with you whatever you do. you do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please do the have the state department c i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations to your fax for you. go ahead, change and whatever you do. don't want my show stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, it's not, we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way instead of waiting on the line. so see wanna push with it. it will no longer there. so some of this,

so basically of course we need your last name was needed, read those can, will be used to live imagine we have sports or someone who is this, we would show new people to the, the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the at the end of the 18th century britain began the illegal opium trade in china. this hard drug causing addiction and literally destroying the human body became a gold mine for businessmen from the foggy l. b on. however, the rolling chinese ging dynastee tried to resist and to stop the illegal trade which provoked the wrath of the london business community in $1840.00 without a declaration of war, the english fleet began to seize and plunder chinese coastal boards,

barley arm denmoore, lead train chinese army was unable to provide adequate resistance. the jing empire was forced to hand hong, gone over to england, and open it sports for trading. the little village. in 1856, france and the united states joined in the robbery of china. the anglo french troops defeated the chinese occupied basie and committed an unprecedented robbery. destroyed and blundered the wealth of the un making you one palace. the defeat of the jing dynasty and the do obie and wars fled to the transformation of this so less deal empire into a semi colony of european states. and started the age of humiliation. and the sale of opium took on collazo proportions and led to the horrible depths of millions of ordinary chinese

the headlines on the international pulse of any and is killed in 13 more wounded in the ukraine in a time on russia's, they'll go over the region most of those days have a 17 minutes in switch hills in the rain full, so coming up is equal to the economy. so trainings back up in 24 and you have that easy the just the regular winter. i think i think the worst has yet to come to a 1002 minutes to say is new rep was saved from an energy designed to last winter by when when's a rustles? wouldn't be so lucky next time, unless it stops needing so hard on green energy and rushes, bbc national security chief means with the defense minister of law. so i think 2 countries speak to them on for a minute. it expands the military partnership to account. so security threats in asia,

the very while for mrs onto the international. but the latest world news update is good to have a company. a premium driving has drops an explosive device and rushes belk load region with the bone damaging a civilian car, according to local authorities. and verified footage posted online shows plumes of smoke rising into the night sky from the ground from what's said to be the site of the blog post. the governor of the vocal region has not reported any title tease from that attack. any one civilian was killed and 13 others wounded during the ukrainian militant across the border rate in the same russian region. most going to say the launch group of ukrainian saboteurs has been eliminated by the russian military during account of terrorist operation that has

since been concluded. this un verified footage circulating on russian social media channels ledges to show a high ranking general on the ground in the area leading a group of russian troops. the defendants ministry stays at 17 ukrainian sabbath to us have been killed in the bulk of the region. most go also say the failed rate. it was ordered by t f off the loss of auto mall school box which, which was fully captured by russia just days ago. this is the key of resemble having suffered a defeat in the city of artem office has switched to the implementation of terrorist tactics against civilians. on may, 22nd, a unit of ukrainian nationalists invaded the territory of the russian federation during your counter terrorism operation. the nationalist formations were thwarted and defeated more than 70 ukrainian terrace for armored combat vehicles. and 5 pickup trucks were destroyed the ukrainians. how much harris took a console of

a bold gold uh border crossing and a cultural house and a russia you have responded by launching on te, tell her operations. are these you crazy and some potatoes as we understand how being pushed back the local population has been evacuated for their safety. thousands of people. 3 of course, in the civilian boda area, the local government has also want people to be aware of fake news. now, you know, there's a lot of speculation circulating on social media within telegram channels, but he's, uh so, you know, said to people just wait for official statements like we take it in by these, uh, uh, the, are these, these speculation in a fake news. now the criminal in the press that and treat to meet 2 pasco has said that most is deeply concerned by this a talking earlier he said that this was a possibly a diversion because away from the news that you cried and had lost all to both known as i also known as black boots, of course, the fighting had been taking place to have for more than $200.00 days. so this was a huge loss full,

a full cab on his wisdom pack. and so this was seen as something of a, of a smoke screen. now, washington has always heard, commented, and it said that it doesn't support ukraine. a carrying out such a corporation's and such attacks on russian territory just 2 days before the ukrainian and listen to tack on, belle grove is a us space type company max saw used it sounds that likes to fill the region. this is partially funded by the us government and provides intelligence for the pentagon and the american secret service back in july mark. so i was also supposed to be filming the region shortly before a ukrainian cluster on the top of a civilian area till the for locals. american and polish made on the vehicle was also used in the latest a militant attack. some of them were captured by the russian forces asserted by the defense ministry dependent to go on save. it's on the lines in this footage, while the white house was denied with american hardware could be used in belgrade

to find ukrainian troops. journalists have grilled the state department spokesperson on washington's assurances, but american weapons would not be involved in attacking it, russian territory. so in the there were, there are obviously these reports and there's images online that suggest american weapons have been use. and so i know you don't know, but do you support us weapons being used on russian territory? and when would that change the calculus of providing a 16 to grant? we have made very clear to the ukraine's that we don't enable or encourage attacks outside ukrainians, borders. but i do think it's important. just take a step back and remind everyone to remind the world is of course, it is russia that launched this war. it's russia that continues to launch attacks on civilians and recreated the rest of its target schools and hospitals and civilian infrastructure. so it is up to ukraine to decide how they want to conduct their military operations. but it is russia that has been the aggressor in this war

. and while us officials at least say by looking into the incident to a u foreign policy, chief joseph burrell, cons even pronounced the name of the bel gold region and located me that the house was not anything about the ukrainian rate on russian territory. and very, really judas rebecca scholarship. i never took it out to the girl at the bank girl . didn't russia the banker, although blast weather. just tell me what's happening and broke it off with law and just shoot bo buddy to a golf near the get out in the benefit of the community that shows because because the company, more independent journalist to sonya yvonne defender so he's been washington to approve. so maybe it doesn't even have what happens to russians because they all the enemy for the us. a reality of course is that of course, the us doesn't prove or doesn't prove that maybe it doesn't even care who is texting because you know,

they're already in to be for the us. so at the reality on the ground is far more different on the west. want you to believe that the western media and maybe also to pull additions, then this attack is actually from a russian opposition to russian opposition groups. it's, it's the reason what they do, and this is what we saw in syria. and this is now that has all of our channels. this is what they're going to do now in trying and as terry's way to a tech russia, this is perfect timing, of course, because, you know, they, they know they have lost even contradictory in the media. again, in the western media. it is saying that it's all, it's not sure because you know, domestic, who says on the use as an adult in hiroshima. then maybe some ukranian forces are still holding back. there is somehow the outskirts of uh, channels. but actually they know they, they have lost the nato. a parliamentary assembly has unanimously voted to brand rushes, military operation, and ukraine as a genocide. however,

the very same assembly has consistently turned a blind eye to u. s. military actions that have led to the depths of millions of people during the so called war on terra, a report from brown university, a prestigious american institution, was found that 4500000 people died from direct and indirect consequences of several us lowest military interventions around the world since 2001 as the research of say, the west is obligated to pay reparations for its options. a 4.5 to 4 in point 6000000 people died in the words leading 7600000 children to suffer from all nutrition information such as this can help global regional and local interventions to prevent further losses of life. it can also assist people and organizations to call into governments, including that of the united states to olivia human suffering, resulting from past 911 wars preparations. there were no easy or cheap,

but our imperative marion marion raw that was that k for my aid for afghanistan's national security, as long as it stays nato's rhetoric towards russia is hypocritical. since the blog has like no major violations by the west itself, i find it extremely ironic where the us finds that it can be a moral judge in the current situation or, and they are nato's accusations and their assessments because they seem to blindly follow the united states and i'm honest on was a very good example for the world to witness. i think that we need to question nato's assessment and ask them, what are they going to do about it? is it just a diplomatic communication tactic, or they're going to have military interventions, or they're going to repeat, be repercussions of this, as we have all just heard when a, at the press conference at the white house. how they completely dodge the question

and focus that on russia when they are directly asked about their human rights violations. and they've gone aside and continue to dodge that as well. they're married many similarities and of course, differences in this current. so circumstances when it comes to russia and ukraine. however, in upon us on, based on my experiences, i find uh natives assessments you once assessments or us is perspectives irrelevant. terminology is very key here. when we saw an actual genocide taking place in rwanda, the us international organizations, in nato, all of them were extremely reluctant to take part and what is happening in the country. and i find it again, a very ironic when they want to jump to such circumstances. rather than getting
