  • サマリー

  • Hello there, we are child, adolescent and adult psychiatrists practicing in the Los Angeles area on a mission to demystify child psychiatry, and have conversations surrounding difficult topics on youth and adult mental health. But not without a bit of play along the way!


    The title of this podcast is a tribute to the famous psychoanalyst, Donald Winnicott, and his concept of the "Good Enough Parent.” This is the idea that the imperfect but sufficient provisions of a parent will build a resilient child in an imperfect world. We want to empower children and parents to embrace their strengths and flaws, and know that you are good enough.


    Importantly, we want to emphasize the power of holding difficult emotions from the lens of attachment theory. Attachment theory is based on the idea that humans need a social bond with another to survive. This bond, when it is “good enough”, serves as a secure base from which a child can explore the world. When this attachment is disrupted, it can lead to emotional issues and sometimes full-blown psychiatric disorders. This is where therapists and psychiatrists come in.


    This podcast is for the curious adults, parents, family members, mental health professionals and trainees. So we hope you join us in this adventure to explore mental health from a developmental perspective. Small wins can have big impacts, and you are not doomed if you had adversity in your childhood. Your feelings belong to you, and you can own them to propel you toward enlivening your life.

    The Optimism and Cautionary Tale of AI and Mental Health
    2025/01/21

    This week, we explore the curious and unnerving world of artificial intelligence (AI) and mental health. We discuss its potential benefits in healthcare for both psychiatrists and patients, as well as risks such as harmful content, liability issues, privacy issues, and blurring the line between what is real and fake. We are excited and wary of this new technology that is inevitably going to be in every aspect of our lives. Join us in the discussion!

  • Neurosis and Anxiety: What it is and What to Do About It

    Neurosis and Anxiety: What it is and What to Do About It
    2024/12/13

    Hello there! This episode is a dense one. We discuss neurosis and anxiety from the perspective of childhood and growth. We go over concepts of “basic anxiety” and “neurotic pride”, reflecting on healthy and unhealthy narcissism fueling anxiety as proposed by the psychoanalyst, Karen Horney. We explore how the DSM anxiety disorders are categorized, the importance of a holistic approach to treatment, and the use of medication in managing anxiety. Lastly, we emphasize the need for us to do our own inner work to understand and manage one's own anxiety to better assist patients.
