Kent Weishaus is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist in California, with a diverse background that includes a 25-year career in television production. He has worked in various settings, including psychiatric hospitals, community clinics, and educational institutions. Kent’s expertise extends to teaching social work theory and practice at Cal State Los Angeles.
In his recent work, Kent explores the impact of our abstract thinking skills and self-aware Consciousness on our ability to adapt to the complex Technology, stories, and myths that shape our modern world. He suggests that we often underestimate the overwhelming nature of the numerous systems and narratives that surround us. This can lead to issues such as Anxiety, sadness, and an inability to cope with the constant influx of information and societal pressures.
Kent’s book, “Stop Breaking Down: The Secret to Avoiding Overwhelm and Crack-Up,” provides insights on how to step back and observe how 21st-century media and narratives interact with our mental and biological processes. He emphasizes the need to recognize the challenges posed by the systems we take for granted and their impact on our unique abstract thinking capabilities.
