The Civilian at War

Host Timothy Regan describes a pattern of human thinking and communication that seems to be increasing in our society that can lead to violence by civilians toward other citizens.  We then explore some forms of medicine for civilians caught in this pattern, so we can create connection and dialogue instead of tragic violence.

There are at least 3 ingredients to violent action from Timothy’s perspective:  unmet human needs, combined with the pain of these unmet needs, combined with certain kinds of thinking (beliefs, blame, and enemy images).

Timothy’s detailed presentation reviews these three ingredients, and he offers medicine for relief from this pattern, and listeners call in live to help clarify this pattern.
