Dr. Laura Petracek is a clinical psychologist, addiction specialist, certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) therapist, author, and speaker with over 30 years of experience in psychotherapy, 26 of which have been spent as a practicing clinical psychologist in California. In this podcast, Dr. Petracek recalls her academic and professional journey, discusses the circumstances leading up to her opening her own private practice, then provides some highlights and background regarding her new book The DBT Workbook for Alcohol and Drug Addiction. When discussing how she ended up in the clinical psychology field of psychology, she states, “Sometimes I don't know if I chose the field or if it chose me.” She shares that at the age of 17, she went into drug and alcohol rehab and through that experience, she knew that she wanted to be a counselor then a therapist. So, after getting out of rehab, she immediately started her undergraduate work. She received her associates in chemical dependency counseling at Metropolitan Community College (now called Metropolitan State). Dr. Petracek then received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN. She received her Master of Social Work (MSW) in Ethnic, Cultural Minority, Gender, and Group Studies from Wurzweiler School of Social Work in New York, NY. She then attended the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco, CA for her PhD in Clinical Psychology. She and her cohorts at CIIS were the last group to receive a PhD in clinical psychology as the program is now a PsyD program. We discussed the differences between a PhD and a PsyD and why she chose the PhD route. Although Dr. Petracek could have received a doctorate in social work, she admits that was not the area she wanted to be in as she knew she wanted to eventually go into private practice. Before she did this, though, she gained a tremendous amount of experience as a clinical director of New Leaf Services, Associate Professor at National University, and psychologist with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation at San Quentin, CA. She has had her own private practice in the San Francisco Bay area for over 26 years. Dr. Petracek discusses her private practice and the challenges of building a private practice in a new area. She offers advice to those who are interested in running their own business and explains what she did regarding how to handle the accounting, marketing, and other aspects of owning your own private practice. For example, she recommends joining a group practice at the very beginning of your career as this offers you many benefits (e.g., learn more about running a business, sharing ideas through consultation work, help you understand how to determine how many clients to take on, build your client list, etc.). She also describes her ideal therapist. When describing her ideal therapist, she states, “someone who is knowledgeable in different theories of psychology and psychotherapy…someone who is not afraid to call me on my BS if it comes up” and someone who “offers compassion, but is challenging” and “supportive.” Dr. Petracek shares that she has been in therapy herself and states “my last therapist, he helped me tremendously through a challenging time when my daughter, only daughter, had left home for college and it was just a really rough time.” As a result, she went into a six-month DBT program. She explains that DBT is usually a six-month program but sometimes it is a six-month to a year program. Dr. Petracek discusses evidence-based therapies such as DBT, which is an extension of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The experience she gained going through the DBT program herself, getting certified as a DBT therapist, and her years of experience helping treat those with addictions all acted as the impetus and spark which led Dr. Petracek to combine the strategies and tools available in ...

We start out talking about body image and how that impacted both of us at a young age. When Toni was growing up she felt intimated by her family and a friend of her mother didn't help the situation. Both were constantly putting down her. Her family was all beautiful and she felt pressure starting around the age of 8 to live up to their standards. This led to her eating disorders: anorexia and bulimia. At about 12 years old she started drinking at family functions, for example, she was Jewish and would go to family bar mitzvahs, where drinking alcohol was a normal thing for children to do. By 14, she was drinking pretty regularly. But.... things started really getting out of control when she was going to the University. She began using Meth and a drug called "cat". She even tried running her friends over & ending up on a golf course and that's when she went into rehab for the first time. As in so many cases, she relapsed as soon as she got out. She used whatever it took to get her drugs including one time, assaulting her mom, lying about her brother assaulting her, and then calling her dad and lied about what was happening. Her father knew that she wasn't committed to recovering and sent her into a real rehab. A longer-term, a place she couldn't just leave. Finally, she got some help. She finished rehab, then went into a halfway house and then a sober house. She is now a sponsor herself. She is wanting to help others by sharing her story. She has started a YouTube channel and shares her stories there. Now her mission is to destigmatize anorexia and bulimia. She still struggles with body dysmorphia and is working on this every day.

Today we have with us Dr. Robb Kelly. There was a moment that Dr. Kelly refers to as his, “Ah-Ha” moment, and he realized that his own addiction problem was not the alcohol, but how he thought about the alcohol. Dr. Kelly would RECOVER from his disease. Living as a RECOVERED alcoholic, he made it his mission and life purpose to help other chronic addicts and alcoholics recover. Dr. Kelly has witnessed the miracle of recovery – he has worked with over five thousand addicts and alcoholics, who appeared just as desperate and hopeless as he did, and he has helped lead them to the solution of permanent recovery. His personal slogan, “Step out of the disease, and into the Solution” was created from his own philosophy of recovery. Dr. Robb tells us about his time as a session player, singer songwriter, and producer at Abbey Road Studios in London where he had a chance to play with Elton John, Queen, and David Bowie, what it was like going to school in Oxford for his PhD, how he eventually succumbed to addiction and mental health issues and ended up homeless, what are the signs of alcohol and drug addiction in fraternity and sorority chapters, what are three core concepts that keep most addicts and alcoholics rooted in their disease, what he looks for as he studies the disease and watches for changes, how he helps students with stress management, how he helps students overcome eating disorders, and his favorite restaurants in San Antonio. There are great stories in here about Dr. Robb's encounters with Elton John and Gordon Ramsey. Enjoy!

April is National Alcohol Responsibility Month in the United States and today we get to talk to the Executive Director of Responsibility.org.  Responsible drinking is something that is a dark area of American culture and a lot of it not talked about in the world of parenting or being an adult.  We touch on a big idea here in this episode about being responsible for your own life and the choices you make and don't make have a direct correlation to the success you experience in life.  As parents, we need to understand that the only wrong thing to do when it comes to having this talk with our kids is NOT HAVING IT. The #1 influence on a kid's choice to drink responsibly is their parents, and if we don't talk about it they will watch our actions or someones elses.  Topics Covered: Planting the seeds of responsibility when they are young that carry over into being an adult. Kids have a curiosity to learn and understand the world around them.
