I lo e that quote!!!
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact it's the only thing that ever has" - Anthropologist Margaret Mead
Thank you for your devotion to our collective wellbeing ❤your input matters.
Thank you for your compassionate and insightful words that help this nation heal and prevent even more descent
Thank you doctor Lee. Always appreciate your wisdom.😊
Dr. Bandy Lee is incredible. I'm so glad she is on UA-cam, and can be accessed at ANY time, and shared with all on my Facebook acct. Her knowledge, and soothing voice is just what is needed at this time, (in our world.)..especially with the current political drama playing out in Washington, D.C.
Thought provoking and helpful. Thank you for your sharing.
Thank you 😊
Listen to her. She knows what she's speaking.
Thank you, Dr.
My mental health was suffering yesterday. I needed this. Thank you.
Thank you for your efforts and the efforts of your colleagues that joined in these efforts.
I so appreciate your service. Thank you, Dr
Lee
I am so grateful for your wisdom Dr. Lee and my greatest hope is that your message eventually breaks through to the mainstream. My great anxiety here is that once you have reached a larger audience, the cult of Folie a Deux having noticed your existence will see you as a threat, the Emmanuel Goldstein of our day.
I agree wholeheartedly. Dr. Lee has the knowledge to lead us out of the contagion we are surrounded by now. Her reference to Albert Schweitzer resonated. His book, “Out of my life and thought “ had a lasting effect on how I view the world. Dr. Lee thank you so much. ❤❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌠✝️♥️♥️thank you for clarifying this important topics Now!
Many thanks, Bandy, for your spot on insights and guidance. Thank you for committing to counsel us away from the crumbling precipice that is Trump and towards self awareness and healing, both personal and national.
Dr Lee you are BRILLIANT !
Thank YOU for your systematic clear expression of FACTS that destroys the false narrative that is attempting to overwhelm our communal senses !
Proverbial voice in the wilderness, they who have ears let them hear. Deepest thanks to you. This is a tough time even without a dictator in place and democracy in free fall.
My gifts to the world as your gifts also, Dr Lee, are suppressed...😢❤
Excellent commentary as always. Thank you Dr 🌛
Market the channel under your name. If you want to get to 100K just ask your viewers to help the channel. Thank you for helping us.
Wish I had a platform to share this.
@@wejoinwe can send to friends or social media
Reminds me of that Audre Lorde title: "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle The Master's House".
Thank you for continuing this after the election. I need the wisdom and encouragement.
We are all living in "interesting times". But perhaps we can guide the chaos onto a path more suitable to our ethical, loving and life-sustaining nature instead of our most nihilistic, hateful and murderous tendencies.
Someone said to always keep 10% of our capacity for depression and despair reserved for hope.
So.
We have lots of work to do.
I have long admired your wisdom. This feels rich and fits my experience coming from a generationally/geneticall ill and violent family. My dad was an MD and early in life I saw his seemingly upside views. I am now more educated and have compassion for his illnes. I turned to therapy and spiritual practice in my early teens though I naively married a gifted covert narcissist and it was until my early 70s I felt freedom and peace upon his death . I now have 2 doctorates and in the past helped several thousand with serious health issues as the field of epigenetics emerged. Spiritual philosophy and practice are key and so I took on a D. D. The story of the APA director whose power blinded him reminds me of Charles Einstein's Sacred Economics whose early pages suggest it's not us but upside down institutions that wound. It was liberating and reminded me of a short time in graduate social work study. Bless you and your offerings. On a practical note I agree more would be drawn here if it was in your name. YT can do this. I send people to your website. Many thanks. This is a rich offering. Solstice blessings.
You have described the skillful means of enlightened activity.
Bless you
Perseverance in a good cause is in keeping with the spirit of Christmas.
Spred her message!!!
Dear Dr. Lee,
Thank you for your service to humanity and the world. I learn a lot from your shows❤
“Defenses are the costliest of all mental functions.” 🎯 Gratitude yes is a free antidote available even as we’re defending peace.
I wish everyone could hear Dr. Lee's wise words!
Thank you so much💕
Thank you Doctor; wish you Peaceful Holiday! ❤🌹
Well said. Bless your heart for sharing this
Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season. Thank you so much for all do.

Working on roofs helped me to define ‘brothers in arms’ because we all have to guard each other to keep safe
Most of our potential experience of truth can only be experienced without Ego. Human nature is not set in stone. Maturity is seeing how this works.
I'll take the quote from Margaret Mead with me today. A small group of thoughtful individuals can change the world. Thank you,Dr.Lee
Exactly…thank you !
❤❤❤
Thank you.
Brilliant analysis...and terrifying! Now what can we do to mitigate the threat at this point? We clearly missed the opportune moment to redirect our dire trajectory toward more power struggles. I'm bereft at the state of our nation and its global ramifications.
Shame on the APA! Apparently, for them it’s all about the money. Hard to believe one man’s pathology would infect so many. Would you say this is mass psychosis? Love your content ! ❤ Thank you, Dr. Lee
Has happened before: AH 1930s-40's Germany.
Also Italy same time
Yes. It is a form of collective psychosis, i.e., think of the phrase "the madness of crowds" for a reference.
exactly.
are the more honorable Supreme Court judges listening? anyone who is an ordinary person who commit the crimes djt did would've been sentenced without draining resources.
Thank you Dr. Bandy Lee. Your session 2 is a well thought out lesson. I look forward to your continued analysis. It all starts with the individual. We can do this one committed person at a time. I will commit. Thank you again.
I wish Dr. Lee was the Surgeon General! Certainly won't be in a Drumpf Regime! Lol.
🌍🌎🌏🙏⚘️🕊🌱❤️🌈 and so it is❤️
"Power & Peace"
Thank you Dr. Lee😊Happy Holidays❤😊
You are making sense this time I humbly say. Thanks for your efforts
Ajeet- healing song. Dr. Lee- beautiful song and music video on UA-cam 💕
Thank you Dr. Lee for clarifying the difference between guise of power and true power and the importance of cultivating inner peace and psychological health. You are a blessing! ☮✌ "May peace and peace and peace be everywhere." Upanishads.
I miss you on the weekend show! I agree that it would be a good idea to use your name gor the channel. I always look forward to your posts
Thank you!!
Me too. Anothy Davis is my favorite interviewer also❤.
Gah, I am developing a crush on Bandy. She's awesome!
Your discussion on Power is timely, with theological implications as well, I think. In order to get what you are saying out into the public domain, is there anyone who could put your talk into cartoon form? Not in the sense of "funny" but in order to communicate to a wider audience. Also, it's good to hear someone of your caliber take on the APA. They've been playing king of the mountain long enough; actually like any unhealthy organization that has such rigid boundaries.
Thank you Dr. Lee for your presence, wisdom and perseverance. I consider myself fortunate that I was blessed with an academic and emotional intelligence commensurate with yours (although I’m not as highly educated). Therefore it’s my privilege to easily “pick up what you’re putting down” as my kids say. I speak the language you’re speaking - in your rather academic dialect - as though it were my mother tongue.
But here I am, still frustrated and feeling like my hands are tied.
I think the next step is translating your message into other “languages”; the languages of lower education and intellect, poverty, immaturity, fight/flight/freeze states of mind, etc. I’ve been trying to do this but with limited success thus far. However, I’m still hopeful about this approach.
I implore you to consider explaining your knowledge less and translating it more. If that’s not your particular skill, that’s ok! But from your lofty, credentialed position please look around and find the “translators”. Employ and elevate them. Hell, if necessary, get a small group of thoughtful, committed graphic designers to draw out your thoughts in illustrated form, (because Trump’s not the only one who prefers pictures over words 😉).
The cult of MAGA speaks many languages. For instance, how would a military officer say what you’re trying to say? What if a hostage negotiator has insight on key words? How would a sports coach deliver your message? What would an exhausted parent of a toddler throwing a public tantrum do with your erudite knowledge?
The way I look at it, democracy is a long distance relay race but everyone keeps running it like a solo sprint. This is an era that simply begs for skilled translators of all kinds.
Dr. Lee i have both your new books. ❤
❤
You are brilliant. I Cant Believe the Psychological Association "bent the knee" I call them traitors Ps, You Got Guts Girl, going into prisons. I assume dedication to your trade is why
Girl?????
What du you mean, boy?!!
UA-cam site Democracy Now 12-20-24 "Do Not Obey in Advance": Timothy Snyder on how Corporate America is Bending to Trump
Saw this and it makes me sick🤢
Half of the voters decided to end the American Experiment for an orange con man from Queens NY, who fits all the biblical descriptions of the man Jesus and the Saints warned us about.
Professor Timothy Snyder states," The Mump Regime"
Love his historical observations and corollary to the present.
Professor Timothy Snyder is a truth teller.
@nikkioliver8060 So glad to see you here! Thank you.I share your sentiments.
These are comforting words, but still very abstract, especially for those of us who are struggling to make ends meet and who are actually disempowered by an economic system that keeps us oppressed and exhausted. How do we stop the oppressors? What actions are required, even if we do cultivate a “right mind” and collective consciousness? You don’t answer this question, even though I respect your words.
Gaslighting on a stellar scale. Business as usual by the powers that be, which are false powers of control. Divide and conquer is the name of the game. It always has been...
This sounds relatively similar to recovery in alcoholism and drug addiction.
Can peace of mind from within arise, even in the presence of a system -or overlayed systems-of domination?
He's already broke pivotal promises to his base. Could this finally break their bond to him ?
Any suggestions to help turn this around. Anybody, anybody???
I have read and listened to many resources about 45s mental status
I really don’t understand anyone following him
Hello Dr. Bandy Lee ,
It's so reassuring to hear from you again !
Can you perhaps consider this idea ?
Could / would you consider doing a " LIVE " show , with your followers ? Not endless , but let's say , for about an hour , hour and a half ?
I'm sure the live won't be short of any questions , adressed to you .
I sincerely hope you'll consider my request . ( And I think of many more )
Thanks for all your effort and time you're sharing with us , really very much appreciated .
I'd like to end , by wishing you & your loved ones and friends - colleagues , a peacefull christmas and a prosperous , above healthy '25 !
Kind regards ,
Helen Catherine 🙏🌲🦌🎅🎁🎉
An appropriate Christmas Eve message! Thank you!!
Dr Lee, I wish you would say all this in plain language. I believe your words are only decipherable by elite academics. Nevertheless, thank you for your wise counsel.
Goverment gone amuck .... Think this post is maybe what you refer. Natural Hygiene was taught by Natives to USA medical people & those teachings remained the law of the land up until the late 1800's when big pharma began to take over making Natural Hygiene unjustly obsolete until early 1900's when Herbert M. Shelton re-founded the orthopaedic practice at his health sanatoriums & by the 1950's he ran for potus, but big oil land grabs & big pharma swindles had a monopoly by then, also it was further corrupted by the liquor industry that had spiraled out of control as a drug of choice ever since the 1930's. So it is way past time to make Natural Hygiene a part of our daily lives again, as the once sober apple cart was upset too many times over the years by oppressive governmental inebriated addicts who have been increasingly abusing a once sound medical practice here in America for far too long. Here is my take on needed improvements for those who have yet them or even considered changing these corrupt current laws yet. Back around the 70's reagan began shutting down state hospitals to save taxes for the rich resulting in an ever increasing spiral of homeless street people & overcrowded prisons. Reagan was inebriated on his bubbly. That points to another mess up that occurred back in the 30's when they made alcohol their drug of choice as legal recreation & criminalized other intoxicants. Past time for a resolution to both these gross errors. 1- make all drugs & alcohol legal medically with supervision. 2-drug & alcohol test all law enforcement, politicians, educators & gun owners at their own expense, never as illegal recreation in use currently. Until those insane obsolete laws, rules & regulations are changed with appropriate resolutions the errors of the past will continue to escalate.
Thank you for this. I have shared it.
Be aware of Stockholm syndrome....
Brava!
Nice house.
Unless you're on the ground, sorry but I'm not getting into the train.
Thank you Dr. Lee.
Thank you, Dr. Lee❤
