In this episode of “Tackling Stigma,” we dive deep into the challenges athletes face when it comes to mental health. Our special guest, who chooses to remain anonymous for privacy, takes on the name “Dusty,” inspired by the legendary wrestler Dusty Rhodes. Dusty shares his personal story of hardship, injury, and the emotional toll it took on him, much like the famous “Hard Times” speech given by Rhodes.
Through his heartfelt words, Dusty shares his struggles with the speech, showing how difficult it can be to cope when a career abruptly ends due to injury. He talks about how his experience left him feeling like “damaged goods” and isolated from others. The stigma around mental health, especially for athletes, often keeps people from reaching out for help. Dusty opens up about how he felt trapped, unable to express his emotions, and the immense pressure to always perform.
Thanks to the supportive community at APN and the therapists who guided him, Dusty learned the power of vulnerability. By sharing his feelings and seeking therapy, he discovered that being open is not a weakness but a strength. He encourages everyone listening-whether an athlete or not-that it’s okay to ask for help. You’re not alone.
Join us in this raw, real conversation about breaking the stigma around mental health in sports and beyond. This episode is packed with insights and messages of hope for anyone struggling to find their way.

    There’s no tackle football before 8. And if you think 8 is too young for tackle football, it’s not. It’s better to learn how to safely tackle and be tackled while the game is still slow and the collisions aren’t big enough to cause much or any damage. If you start tackle football later, you set up these kids for more head and neck injuries.

    Facts! Men have been tricked into thinking being manly is having multiple women. It’s pushed on men that it’s ok to sow oats and live but they only want to settle with women that are untouched or young. When a man can put everything into one woman, she will do anything for him. ❤

    I noticed in watching this podcast and some others that the podcast hosts tend to cut off the interviewee mid-sentence and sort of prevent the listener from hearing more of their story. I would love to hear more spaces for listening to the interviewee and giving pauses and spaces in between responding to make sure the interviewee has said everything they want to say. I also notice that Dan and Andy tend to highlight their own stories and I'd love to see the focus come back more to the interviewees.

    I am my parents only child. My father wanted a boy, but my mother died when I was 4, and my father never found anyone else. He had still wanted a boy. So when I was only 13 he put me on testosterone, and told me I was going to be a boy. I loved it, it was what I always dreamed of. I had, surprisingly, a lot of friends after that. I was happy. But I always knew it was wrong. So I stopped, and my father was furious. I moved in with my friends, but they didn’t help much either. They were all for the “gender-swap”. By the grace of God I have found his true Catholic church. I always feel my body has been defiled, and I can never cure it, but I try. Dare I say that transgenderism is at equals with nazism, because the victims still have to live afterward.

    There is no healthy shame because you are not the doer.

    • @APNLodge
      @APNLodge 4 місяці тому

      "So, the shame conversation has a few different perspectives from different orientations. Whenever I talk about shame I will usually preface with, “this is a topic that has some conflicting views.” In no way will I ever say my understanding is the “right one”, it’s what makes the most sense to me. There is some discussion around shame being an evolutionary emergency break for offensive behavior that could get us exiled from our tribe. It’s a feeling that has more power than guilt because there is an element of exposure and embarrassment usually. Theoretically, if I am behaving in ways that are offensive/harmful/damaging in a community, and my own guilt isn’t enough to stop the behavior. It’s a possibility that the community will decide I am a hazard and reject me which would likely equal death in times when we were dependent on one another for food and protection. The argument is that when we are confronted publicly, the intensity if shame might cause us to stop the behaviors and stay safe in the tribe. An additional perspective is that in early childhood, if a caregiver is physically unsafe, violent, dangerous toward the child, shame acts as a “last ditch effort” to keep the child alive by interrupting proximity seeking - “I can’t go to mommy because I am so bad”. This can be noted in disorganized attachment styles that usually harbor a lot of internal shame. This use of shame obviously causes enormous problems in later life because a shame core from early life is the “toxic shame” people refer to. In the context of “healthy shame”, I think there are times when we are the doer. Some of us act in ways that are offensive and hurtful to others. Sometimes internal guilt causes us to recognize out behavior and remedy it but sometimes this isn’t the case. IF we don’t have a toxic shame core, we can likely withstand small amounts of shame if our actions are made known to others. However, with a shame core that will likely throw is into self-esteem failure and trauma reaction. This is all theoretical and general and by no means covers the vast nuances of the human experience. Just some food for thought." - Lana

    My mom likes to tell me that every single family is dysfunctional and she normalizes it. Also when I was talking to her about being molested she told me every girl has been molested. And it seemed like it didn't even faze her😢

    • @APNLodge
      @APNLodge 5 місяців тому

      *This is not clinical advice* One of the challenges with embarking on a healing journey is that often our family does not join us. I don’t know the specifics of the relationship you have with you mother or her history so I can only speak in general terms. It’s common for a caregiving system to normalize abusive behavior if the behavior is, well, “normal” in that system. For example, if the family system has generational trauma, members will see abuse as a “normal” part of the family experience and not respond in validating ways. Additionally, if a member of the family system has experienced abuse and it was never validated or addressed, that member of the family might be triggered by finding out the abuse is continuing. The reaction to the trigger might be avoidance and dismissiveness. Breaking the cycle is a gift to future generation. - Lana S.
