How to call a spade a spade (and actually move forward) |
Do you have a built-in radar for fake people? Let's talk about sniffing out inauthenticity and moving forward. 🛑🧠 If you have any Enneagram 8 in your personality, you know the absolute intolerance for inauthenticity. We have to call a spade a spade and address the elephant in the room. But we can't just get stuck pointing out the problem. As we discuss in this clip, the goal is figuring out how to heal, live with it, and actually enjoy each other again. Sometimes, our biggest superpower is sniffing out the BS instantly, but having the patience to just sit back, let the situation play out, and quietly enjoy the pride of knowing we were right all along. 💬 Let me know in the comments: What is your Enneagram type, and how do you handle inauthenticity when you spot it? 👇 If you loved this conversation, hit that LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE to Sober Psychology for more raw truths on personality, relationships, and mental health.
Stop Telling Everyone "I'm Fine" (The Challenge)
God doesn't want your "customer service voice." 📞 He doesn't want the fake smile you give the cashier. He wants the real you—the broken you, the angry you. In this video, I’m challenging you to drop the mask. Your pain is not a mistake; it’s a signal that you are alive in a broken world. You can't get to the table prepared for you (Psalm 23) if you refuse to walk through the valley. 👇 The Challenge: This week, when someone asks "How are you?", do not say "I'm fine." Tell the truth. Even if it's just, "It's been a rough week." Drop the mask and see what happens.
Welcome to Sober Psychology (No Fluff Allowed)
Stop smiling. Let’s get real. 😐 Welcome to Sober Psychology. I’m Michael—a psychologist in training and a recovering "nice Christian boy" who used to think anger was a sin. If you are new here, here is the deal: 🚫 We don’t do fluff. 🚫 We don’t do "manifesting." We take the raw data of psychology and the gritty truth of the Bible to dismantle the lies we tell ourselves. If you are tired of pretending to be okay when you aren't, this is a safe place to be a mess. 👇 Discussion: Are you tired of the "good vibes only" culture in the church or self-help world? Let me know in the comments.
Why Jesus Wept (He Didn’t Fake Being Happy)
"I'm too blessed to be stressed." (While their left eye is twitching). 🥴 We all know that person. They treat negative emotions like radiation. But here is the hard truth: You aren't being positive; you are dissociating. In this video, I explain Spiritual Bypassing—the act of using God as a drug to numb the reality of your life. The danger is simple: If you numb the dark, you also numb the light. You cannot heal what you do not feel. Even Jesus wept (John 11:35). He knew He was about to raise Lazarus, yet He still stood in the tragedy and felt it. Stop faking it. 👇 Discussion: When someone asks "How are you?", do you lie and say "I'm fine"? Tell me the truth in the comments today.
