Welcome Back to Behind the Service . Today Libby sits down with Rohini Bagrodia to discuss her work at Columbia University with the Family Flex Study which aims to capture the resiliency within families as they have traversed difficult times, as well as better understand the needs and struggles of families across the U.S.  They will also pay specific attention to the unique needs of our veteran families, recognizing that there is often a lack of resources for the larger family unit post-military separation. Rohini is a PhD candidate in clinical psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. Her research interests focus on exploring emotion regulation patterns in children and between different family members as indicators of overall adjustment following stressful life events. While not a veteran herself, Rohini has worked in veteran mental health for the past years, motivated by the unique mental health needs of veterans and continually inspired by the phenomenal resiliency seen every day.During the height of the pandemic, Rohini, Ann-Christin Haag, and Dr. George Bonanno, developed the Family Flexibility Study, with the goal to understand how families, especially veteran families, were managing this unprecedented time. In her initial conversations with families, Rohini became all too aware of the lack of resources for veteran spouses and children post-military separation. Recognizing that just under half of current servicemen/women are parents and will ultimately separate from the military potentially looking for support, she turned her attention to better understand how the veteran experience and pivotal events thus far. She hopes her research will ultimately inform policy and connect to families to effective resources they need and deserve.Family Flex Study SignupText or callLink up on IGThank you for listening!Visit our linktree Follow us on our socialsYouTube Behind The Service Instagram Behind the Service Facebook at (1) Behind the Service | FacebookInterested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at behindtheservicepodcast@gmail.comCheck out some of our other podcasts: Peace After CombatFreedom Sisters ShowThe Optimal Response Initiative

Alyssa is a Licensed Professional Counselor turned entrepreneur after creating the Physio-Life Transformation Program, which shows high achieving professionals how to “unstuck” themselves from the hold of anxiety and walk them through how to build a life that is aligned with their values, purpose and goals.    Serving in the mental health field for 7 years, Alyssa noticed patterns across different clients whose stories and pain points varied from one another, but all led back to the same underlying causes. This broken foundation kept them in the same self-sabotaging patterns, showing up to therapy each week with little improvement to show for it.  Alyssa believes that although talk therapy is helpful and healing in its own right, transformational healing that goes from survive to thrive happens beyond 50-minute sessions.    Alyssa believes that facilitating change begins with a positive support system as well as aligning the body, mind, and spirit; focusing on the mind-body connection and healing the nervous system.Alyssa helps exhausted and disconnected high achieving individuals remove toxic relationships, crushed self-worth, exhaustion and burnout from their lives and teach them how to overcome uncontrollable overwhelm and anxiety so that they are empowered, decisive and in control of their lives. Alyssa helps them do this without having to rely on medications, supplements, doctor visits and what can often be years of fruitless therapy sessions.  If you are interested in  learning more about the work Alyssa does email her at alyssa.thechangeco@gmail.com or visit her website to sign up for a coaching session. https://alyssasullinger.com/CTA Link connects clients to download a free ebook, as well as book a free discovery call for the Physio-Life Transformation Program to overcome anxiety and overwhelm. Thank you for listening!Visit our linktree Follow us on our socialsYouTube Behind The Service Instagram Behind the Service Facebook at (1) Behind the Service | FacebookInterested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at behindtheservicepodcast@gmail.comCheck out some of our other podcasts: Peace After CombatFreedom Sisters ShowThe Optimal Response Initiative

 Welcome back to Behind the Service podcast. Today Libby sits down with the author of the book, Attributes of Manhood: Stones That Build The Foundation To Weather Any Storm, Mitch Anderson who is starting a movement aimed at igniting and inspiring men to re-assume their rightful place in society. One not of tyranny, but of servitude so that our culture can once again hold men accountable to their original design!This book aims to invite men to wrestle with five key attributes pulled from the Word of God pertinent for men to assume their rightful place once again in society and, more importantly, in the home. We need to unlock the strength hidden deep within men because the weight of the world is far too great for women, or children, to carry alone. For men to accomplish their original design, we need the Spirit of God to empower us and contend for us. I hope this book inspires the men of this generation to unleash the power of Jesus Christ in their lives to overcome their basest urges and give glory back to their Designer.ATTRUBUTES OF A MANThank you for listening!Visit our linktree Follow us on our socialsYouTube Behind The Service Instagram Behind the Service Facebook at (1) Behind the Service | FacebookInterested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at behindtheservicepodcast@gmail.comCheck out some of our other podcasts: Peace After CombatFreedom Sisters ShowThe Optimal Response Initiative

 In 2010, the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, now known as the Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence, launched the Caregiver and Family Member Study. This 15-Year Longitudinal TBI Study, led by TBICoE researchers at the National Intrepid Center of ExcellenceOpens to the homepage of the National Intrepid Center of Excellence in Bethesda, Maryland is a congressionally mandated study that examines the effects of TBI incurred by service members. The specific focus of the study is on those who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom, and how those effects impact family members.The Caregiver and Family Member Study aims to better understand the impact of the service member's or veteran's TBI on their family.Now in its eleventh year, the Caregiver and Family Member Study has found that the time commitment and burden of caregiving is correlated with physical and psychological distress, poor sleep and disrupted family life. Frequently, caregivers balance their commitments toward their service member or veteran with childcare and other work duties, often receiving no help and having little time for themselves.Caregivers also have unmet health care and care provision needs. These unmet needs can evolve to worse caregiver health and well-being.WOMAN & WARRIOR MINISTRYThank you for listening!"Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today's episode!Behind the Service listeners can get 10% off by visiting:https://betterhelp.com/behindtheserviceVisit our webpage at cominghomewell.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellmilitaryInstagram @behindtheservicepodcastFacebook at (1) Behind the Service | FacebookLinkedIn at Coming Home WellHome » Coming Home WellWe are a 501C3 nonprofit organization.Interested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at cominghomewell@gmail.comCheck out some of our other podcasts: Peace After CombatFreedom Sisters ShowThe Optimal Response Initiative Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming ...

Jessica Manfre is a licensed social worker, author, and Chief Financial Officer of the nonprofit, Inspire Up. She holds a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Central Florida and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Northwestern State University. Jessica is the proud wife of a U.S. Coast Guardsman, Scott, and mama to their two children, Anthony and Raegan. When she isn't working or with her family, you can find her drinking too much coffee with her nose buried in a book.Faraway lands, fear, and faith—Ruth paves the way for our story.One day when author and military spouse Jessica Manfre was reading the book of Ruth, she had an epiphany. Ruth is the story of every military spouse.In the book of Ruth, we witness a woman's brave journey—one of loss, loneliness, and loyalty. A story of love and faith. Does that sound familiar? These are the hallmarks of the military life. While our lives are fraught with heartache and sacrifice, that isn't the whole of our stories. Ruth is a hero that has gone before us, offering encouragement and strength. Through her, we witness the beauty of hope and share in the healing power of friendship. We discover that even when all seems lost and completely hopeless, we are Never Alone. God is always with us. And He's leading us through our own story of redemption. He's restoring the hardships and healing the wounds of despair. He's transforming our pain and building our trust. Even when we're wandering in a faraway, foreign land, He is not lost and has not lost us.Join Jessica in studying a story that was meant for you. Jessica explores topics like the fundamental need for connection, the clinical mental health implications of loneliness, preparing your heart for loss (she writes from experience), friendship, and much more. This resource is for every military spouse who desires to strengthen relationships, live in authentic community, and walk with God.Never Alone: Ruth, the Modern Military Spouse, and the God Who Goes With Us available for preorder.  Inspire Up Foundation Jessica Manfre Thank you for listening!"Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today's episode!Behind the Service listeners can get 10% off by visiting:https://betterhelp.com/behindtheserviceVisit our webpage at cominghomewell.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellmilitaryInstagram @behindtheservicepodcastFacebook at (1) Behind the Service | FacebookLinkedIn at Coming Home WellHome » Coming Home WellWe are a 501C3 nonprofit organization.Interested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at cominghomewell@gmail.comCheck out some of our other podcasts: Peace After CombatFreedom Sisters ShowThe Optimal Response Initiative Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming ...

Welcome to another episode of Behind the Service, where our mission is you.(Jolynn Lee will be returning in a few weeks.)Today's solo episode is hosted by Libby Bates.  1 Corinthians 12:7-11 New Living Translation  "A spiritual gift is given to each of us so that we can help each other to one person. The spirit gives the ability to give wise advice. The same spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same spirit gives great faith to another and to someone else. the one spirit gives the gift to healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles. Another the ability to prophesize. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the spirit of God or from another spirit.

In this crossover episode, Libby Bates talks with Dr. Paula Schnurr, executive director for the National Center for PTSD about the difference between prolonged exposure therapy versus cognitive behavioral therapy for veterans with PTSD.

Welcome to another episode of Behind the Service with your host Jolynn Lee.  "So often our service members come home, and they withdraw. When these events happen in our world, they can pull back and they can withdraw because it reminds them of experiences that others just don't understand unless they've been. And it's easier to pull back and withdraw into isolation than it is to try and communicate to those around them. What is going on internally and how those events make them feel, even if they're not directly connected to those events, there is an emotional and a mental impact". ~~~Jolynn LeePrayers for the families of Uvalde, Texas.  "Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today's episode!Behind the Service listeners can get 10% off by visiting:https://betterhelp.com/behindtheserviceHome » Coming Home WellWe are a 501C3 nonprofit organization.Check out other podcasts: Peace After Combathttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1928334Make sure you like, leave a review and share with a friend!Follow us on IG @behindtheservice  Facebook at Behind The Service Coming Home Well LinkedIn at Coming Home Well Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming events by signing up for our newsletter at Coming Home Well Newsletter

Today we're going to lean into the conversation.: Tensions abroad equals tension at home.When events escalate overseas, it impacts us here on the home front, whether you are active service or you are a veteran, you're military affiliated or connected. When things happen abroad. It creates a tension at home and a lot of times, it's so subtle that we don't even realize that it's happening.

These diets or foods work for a small amount of time.Right?

Welcome to Peace After Combat with your hosts: clinical psychologists, Air Force Veterans, AUTHORS, and spouses to veterans, Dr Tiffany Tajiri and Dr. Kristina Seymour. Learn about the connection between faith, spirituality and psychology and how to find peace after painful LIFE experiences. Real Truths, through Real Talk about Real Life. Now here are your hosts, Dr. Tiffany Tajiri and Dr. Kristina Seymour. In the first episode of Peace After Combat, Libby Bates over at Behind the Service sits down with Dr Tiffany to speak to her about her book, Peace After Combat, Healing the Spiritual & Psychological Wounds of War. Dr. Tiffany Tajiri takes a hard look at the psychological trauma experienced by veterans and their loved ones and offers insight and hope for better lives.It could be your neighbor, your coworker, your son, or the woman sitting next to you in church. When combat veterans return from war, they're often confused. They struggle to reconnect with their families; the cheering crowds and smothering hugs make them want to jump out of their skin, and sometimes they even long to return to the hell of deployment. What they've experienced in combat can radically change how they view themselves, others, and the world at large. They may have never seen so much hurt, suffering, death, and destruction, which leaves them questioning, “Where is God?”https://www.buzzsprout.com/1928334 Book: Peace After Combat - (drtiffanytajiri.com)Kristina Seymour"Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today's episode!Behind the Service listeners can get 10% off by visiting:https://betterhelp.com/behindtheserviceHome » Coming Home WellWe are a 501C3 nonprofit organization.Make sure you like, leave a review and share with a friend!Follow us on IG@behindtheservice@cominghomwell_btshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/coming-home-well-bts@drtiffanytajiri(1) Dr. Tiffany Tajiri-White, Psy.D., ABPP | LinkedIn@kristinaseymour1(1) Kristina Seymour | LinkedInFacebook at Behind The Service or Coming Home Well
