This week we’re talking UNITY — and it’s a safe space! Dr. Andrea Best, MD leads the discussion about taking personal responsibility when it comes to issues of race, social justice and #UNITY. We’ll learn to ask: “How am I being? Where am I struggling? Where is my internal resistance? How can I see this differently, this group of people differently?” It’s likely you’ll be amazed by Dr. Best’s teachings on energy frequencies => unbalance => discord => disease. Trust us, you’ll want to be balanced! Our “Why is This a Thing?” Segment is all #UNITY-centered. And the Vote 2020, in these final days of the presidential election, will also be infused with #UNITY. The anchor spotlight is on Ascension Media’s Medical Director Dr. Andrea Best, be prepared to be enlightened! Dr. Best is going to ask the “Questions You’re Afraid to Ask.” Exciting!

What an honor to do a DEEP Dive after this week’s show on The Ascension with Dr. Berger! We are honored to have her as part of the Ascension Team! ~Dr. Denise
Our talk was kicked off by Dr. Andrea Best’s prompt: can we say that we are living in a time of “collective greed.” As we pondered that, what comes to mind is the understanding and (sometimes difficult) acceptance that we humans are at different levels of consciousness. And greed operates at a lower level, right? It seems that we have a duality, rather a range, of collectiveness in society – from, yes, collective greed, but also to collective impact and goodness, led by virtues, character and culture that is grounded in a moral ethos. And developing organizational culture has to be tied to developing individual character, for “character is to an individual, as culture is to an organization.”
When we think about organizations, CSR (corporate social responsibility) is mirroring what we see in the “collectiveness” range. The quote that captures the range: CSR is like teenage sex. “Everyone says they’re doing it, but only half are doing it. And of the half, only half are doing it THE RIGHT WAY.” At the most basic level of CSR, an organization is doing what it needs to do to mitigate risk. They are compliant. They are likely to also be philanthropic, in a sense that they donate money to some causes or activities. But that only puts them on the game board. They are merely standing on “go.” And so there is a lot of room in there to exhibit greed, to put out empty marketing statements or half-baked brand promises.
The more sophisticated levels of CSR – itCSR – are transformative, integrative, innovative, COLLABORATIVE, shared, distributive, and collective. The organizations that are leading from a place of collective goodness value both the business case for CSR (and embedded in this is EDI work) as well as the circularity of doing their part to have meaningful positive impact on people/communities and the planet/environment. By circularity, I am talking about circular wisdom, guided by virtues – that doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do AND doing it the right way, results in elevating everyone! A thriving society helps businesses; and a prosperous business helps (should/can help) society. As MLK Jr, said, “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality; tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

“I honor and respect that each of us has our own unique way of processing and perceiving the world, or ‘neuro-style,’ a phrase I have coined that is a non-stigmatizing way to discuss your inner world or mindset. It is all-encompassing and includes the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual aspects.” – Dr. Denise McDermott

About Dr. Denise & Ascension Media
Dr. Denise McDermott, M.D. has been in private practice since 2001. As a medical doctor with board certifications in both Adult and Child Psychiatry, she treats children, adolescents, and adults. Her goal is to empower all to live the best life possible. Her approach is to encourage people to believe in wellness, not illness, and to lead a balanced healthy lifestyle. As an integrative adult and child psychiatrist, Dr. Denise bridges Eastern and Western modalities of healing in order to help others go from ‘crisis’ to being able to thrive and reach their goals.
Learning a non-shaming way of handling difficult life situations while growing up, primarily through her father’s journey of sobriety, her parents nicknamed her their “little Ann Landers,” as she was always the go-to person for advice within her circle throughout her life. Dr. Denise realized during her 3rd-year medical school rotations that mental wellness was key for optimum health which brought her into the psychiatric field. Dr. Denise adopted her son at birth and his neuro-style challenges and intuitive giftedness keep her day to day life hopping! His exuberance keeps her young and connected to “Mission: Mental Wellness.” To stay fit, creative, and sane she swims six to seven days a week as her own “mind medicine.” Check out her website here: www.drdenisemd.com.
Ascension Media is a multimedia company and a labor of love that is engaging minds and igniting opportunities. Just this month, Dr. Denise, the company’s CEO, launched her new entity and her continued journey to be able to reach as many people and help them with their own journeys. The company’s goal is to “Elevate the Human Spirit through Media.” The Dr. Denise Show is just a part of her path.
