Isolated but Not Alone

The Isolated but Not Alone podcast features James Rains and guests as they bring mental health awareness to rural and isolated communities through a unique combination of psychology and theology. Through engagement with these communities through questions submitted by listeners, stories, interviews, and conversations, James seeks to dive into the deep places of the heart and mind that are not readily addressed in society, especially in communities that do not have access to these and other mental health resources that are often readily available in larger urban communities. Join him and his guests as they seek to teach, inform, and gain knowledge from these rural and isolated communities as well as mental health communities at large as they engage with this podcast.

For nearly two decades, he has been writing and telling stories that captivate audiences of all ages and lecturing on a variety of topics including law enforcement, NASA, education, business, addiction, and mental health.

Isolated but Not Alone: Personality Development Theories: Psychoanalytical

May 13, 2022 • James Rains

On today's episode, I'm going to start a new series on personality development. I have always found personality development to be interesting ever since I sat in college listening to a professor discuss whether or not there people have a soul. In this episode, my goal is to provide a brief overview of Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory and approach to personality development as well as give a personal example of personality differences when discussing the exciting events of the previous evening while being at the epicenter of a tornado touchdown.
