Episode notes

If there's no disease process in the body, and there's not none that has been shown yet, then there is no disability in a literal sense. I think we should have compassion for people who are doing this in trying to help them. But until we get to concept this idea that we're actually doing what we are willing to do, we're not doing what we're not wiling to do. We can react in other ways. And you oka and you believe, and you have the ability. Don't have we just don't have the willingness in the moments of choice.

Dr. Ruby earned his Ph.D. in 1995 at Florida State University. He is a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel with 20 years of military service as a criminal, counterintelligence, and counterespionage special agent and investigative psychologist in many capacities across the globe. Following his military career, Dr. Ruby has been a psychologist and coach in private practice.

We discuss:
