The issue that Dr. Mathis tackles on this podcast is the issue of individuality and/or being a “unique person” living in a world that may or may not understand, appreciate, or sanction the difference. Whether the individual is a person who chooses to be different for whatever reason(s) versus someone who is born different, that person has to often make choices as to if, when, and how much that individual is willing to compromise beliefs, behaviors, etc. in order to “fit in” and/or be accepted by mainstream society (or even a subsection of mainstream society). These issues, as well as topics related to this concern, will be discussed. Suggestions as to possible avenues for increased satisfaction with one’s self, regardless of which choices a person makes concerning that person’s “self”, will also be made in this podcast.
