Welcome to “Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!” with your hosts, The DEFECTIVE Schizoaffective and IndyPocket! 

The show where we have candid, unscripted discussions about everything related to mental health with a twist of humor and no-holds-barred! 

In this episode, we’re unleashing the power of creativity as we dive deep into the mesmerizing world of “flow state” and the therapeutic magic of expression by discussing the following topics:

- My personal saga of how drumming became my lifeline amidst the nightmarish struggles of having Schizoaffective Disorder

- How reaching “Flow State” transforms the distress of my symptoms into a dynamic melody where each pulse helps extinguish the noise (or voices) in my head… EFFECTIVELY MAKING ME ASYMPTOMATIC!

- What “Flow State” means to Tony and insight on how this affects your brain

- What “Flow State” really is, its therapeutic effects, and how simply expressing yourself can be more effective than your average coping mechanism

- How to find the creative outlet that will help you tap into “Flow State”

Plus, we share the two foundational “mantras” of this show:

“CREATIVITY IS THE BEST THERAPY”

PROCESS OVER PRODUCT”

You’ll learn how these concepts inspired me to start this podcast and why the very first person I ran to as a co-host was Tony.

Get ready for tales of mishaps and triumphs as both of us reveal how embracing drumming not only helped us conquer the struggles of “the daily grind” but also turned our lives into vibrant jam sessions of self-expression.

So, whether you're a seasoned drummer, a creative spirit in need of a spark, or simply searching for a mental health boost, this episode is here to remind you:

When life hands you challenges, IMMERSE YOURSELF in something creative that brings you absolute peace and joy, and you will find your very own “Flow State!”

Let’s “Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!” and…

FIND YOUR FLOW STATE!
