JNewtz's Identity Crisis with Stephen Fay

In this episode of 'Identity Crisis' comedian JNewtz chats with Stephen Fay, a counselor who helps clients between the age of 11 and 70+ to help with their Mental Health and Identity Issues.

Join JNewtz in this truly inspirational episode with Stephen Fay as they talk about some of the big issues that people deal with in the world today, especially since the Covid lock-downs from 2020 and how that time in history drastically changed people lives in so many ways, be that in a positive or a negative way. As a counselor Stephen sees people all ages, genders, races and background and what is striking is that no matter who you are or what you feel is unique to you, is actually more common than you'd think.

We cover:

• Having clients ranging from 11 to 70+ years old
• Bullying is most prevalent in Schools, still.
• ADHD & Autism has always been a trait in humans
• Most people who have an Identity Crisis seem to be in the 40-60's
• The Education System has Drastically changed over the Decades
• Creativity Engages the Mind
• Find time for a Hobby in your Life
• Model Railways
• Bonding with my Father
• 'Same Sea. Different Boats'
• The Language we use
• Society's default has become 'Automatic Negativity'
• Compromising in Relationships
• Mature Adult brain verses Child-like brain
• Imposter Syndrome (especially with those who have ADD, ADHD, Autism, etc)
• The Difference between Praise verses Seeking Attention
• The Experience or The Journey
• Reach Out. Speak Up.

Remember - we are not alone. We all have demons, self esteem issues and can suffer from imposter syndrome. It's okay to not be okay, so reach out and talk to someone, but most of all never give up on your goals and dreams, or you may very well regret it.
