Echoes of Trauma: Meaning and Identity in Psychoanalysis (American Psychological Association, 2025) intricately weaves psychoanalytic and developmental theory to explain how we become who we are, and how we might grow beyond the places we get stuck.In recent decades psychological research and practice has focused heavily on cognitive domains, with far less attention paid to the nonverbal systems through which people register essential meanings. This has led many clinicians to seek disembodied and often mechanistic solutions to clients' problems. But these approaches fail to recognize hidden sources of trauma, which can be difficult to access through conscious reflection. As the source of a trauma recedes further into the past and remains unexplored and unmourned, the effect can become a lingering adversity that masquerades as destiny―and this worldview can even be passed along through subsequent generations.In this volume, Marilyn Charles argues for a more embodied, less mechanistic view of human development. To understand a client's problem at a particular moment in time, we must understand the history that has given rise to it, some of which the client may be able to tell us directly, but some that we must intuit from signs and symptoms because not all history can be recalled consciously. After drawing on psychoanalytic and developmental theory to ground her model, Charles uses clinical vignettes and comparisons with her own life to illustrate how we might facilitate our clients' development.Development is never final. It is an ongoing, lifelong process that can get off-track. Using the theory and techniques in this book, therapists can help clients find and integrate the missing pieces of their life story.

This week, Emily sits down with advisory teacher Rebecca Duffus, and neurodiversity advocate Lyric Rivera, to discuss the critical shift from viewing autism as a purely medical diagnosis to embracing it as a core identity. Lyric shares their personal journey of late discovery and the complex emotions that accompany it, from grief to validation. Rebecca provides some insight into the importance of authentic, affirming language. They also discuss how to empower autistic youth to advocate for their needs, navigate a world that isn't always accommodating, and ultimately discover the power of being exactly who they are. Rebecca and Lyric are co-authors of Autism, Identity and Me. TAKEAWAYS Identity vs pathology is all about framing autism as a core identity, rather than strictly a medical diagnosis or a list of deficits. Late-diagnosis autism often results in a complex cocktail of emotions, including grief, anger, and eventually relief. There is a crucial difference between forcing an upbeat perspective, and using language that genuinely validates an autistic person's lived experience. Equipping, not just protecting, will help autistic kids understand neurodiversity, handle misunderstandings, and utilize an autism identity statement for self-advocacy. There is a shifting landscape of autism support, language, and systemic challenges in the US, especially compared to the UK. Mental health professionals, join us for our next live 90-minute CE training, Inherited Neurodivergence: Supporting Parents' Identity Journeys, featuring presenter, Dr. Amy Marschall. The event is Friday, March 6 at 2:00 pm Eastern/11:00 am Pacific. It's approved for continuing education through the American Psychological Association and the National Board of Certified Counselors. If you can't make it live, you can still register for the self-study version. Rebecca Duffus, BSc, PGCE, MA, is an experienced Advisory Teacher with a background in psychology and a master's in Autism and Education. Based in the UK, she has worked across mainstream and specialist education settings, as well as with local councils, charities, and educational services to support autistic students and the professionals who serve them. Rebecca is the author of Autism, Identity & Me, a workbook and guidebook set published by Routledge in both the U.S. and the UK. She regularly speaks at conferences, develops parent programmes, and provides training and coaching for educators and schools. Her work centers on supporting identity-affirming practices and building inclusive, informed environments for neurodivergent learners. Lyric Rivera is the founder of NeuroDivergent Consulting and the author of the best-selling business ethics book Workplace Neurodiversity Rising, praised by Forbes as "an excellent 'how-to manual' based on lived experience and professional competence," and named a "Trend for 2023." A prominent voice in the neurodiversity movement, Lyric is also the creator of the popular blog NeuroDivergent Rebel and the originator of the #AskingAutistics hashtag, which has sparked wide-reaching conversations about the Autistic experience. Through their writing, consulting, and online advocacy, Lyric helps organizations and individuals build more inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming environments. Their work fosters connection and understanding across communities and empowers neurodivergent people to be heard, supported, and celebrated.

Hello everyone!  I'm completely thrilled to bring you this month's episode of The Becoming Podcast with Dr. Hillary McBride, my colleague and co-author of a chapter about the development of spirituality in matrescence in the recent book I've edited, Mother Becoming:  Reflections and Scholarship on Matrescence. Let me tell you a little bit about Hillary: Dr. Hillary McBride is a Registered Psychologist, host of the award winning CBC podcast Other People's Problems, and author of 5 books, including the Bestseller The Wisdom of Your Body and her most recent book released last year: Holy Hurt: Understanding spiritual trauma and the process of healing. She has been recognized by the American Psychological Association and Canadian Psychologist Association for her research and clinical work, and was awarded the prestigious International Young Investigators Award for her research contributions on women's sexuality. When she is not with patients or students, researching embodiment, or writing her next book, she loves to be near the ocean, or dancing with her daughter. Here's some of what Hillary and I dive into in our conversation together: The way that women's rites of passage, particularly matrescence and menopause, have been pathologized, overmedicalized and seen through a lens of deficiency...and how they are also, often, times of great potential and possibility in women's lives. How women's processes of growing up are often framed as a loss within misogynistic, patriarchal culture. Hillary's research on what happens during these developmental transitions when things go well...including that many women feel more connected to themselves and more embodied as they transform, but also afraid to talk about it because our culture so often supports and prefers a narrative of struggle during these times. We geek out on how you know a rite of passage is over, and some of the most important supports that can help us to integrate and metabolize transformative times in our lives. The spiritual growth that often occurs for women during the rites of passage they experience in their lives, including the chapter Hillary co-authored with our mutual colleague Dr. Larissa Rossen for the Mother Becomingbook on mothering as a spiritual technology. And so much more!  I loved this conversation with Hillary – I found it both tremendously affirming and deeply galvanizing as we look toward the power and potential that exists when women's rites of passage are well supported.  I hope you enjoy it too!   Listen to this episode on iTunes   Show Notes Hillary's website Hillary's instagram Hillary's CBC Podcast, "Other People's Problems" Hillary's books Mother Becoming:  Reflections and Scholarship on Matrescence   Also, while you're at it, if you enjoy the Becoming Podcast, I would be so grateful if you would rate, review and even subscribe to it wherever you get your podcasts.  That goes a long way to helping more and more people find and benefit from hearing these interviews.  Thank you so much!

You are going to love this episode. Today we are going to dive into a teenager's emotional life. I think what makes parenting teens so challenging is dealing with their intense emotions. Sometimes you're the target of their emotional storms and sometimes they turn their emotions inward. You worry about them being depressed or anxious. How many times have we brought up a simple request to our teen, but it turns out to be not so simple because it triggers a huge emotional response? Moms can find themselves avoiding talking about important topics because they don't know how to handle their emotions. I invited Dr. Lisa Damour, the author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, to talk about this nuanced subject of teenage emotions. In this episode we focus on her chapter called Managing Emotions, Part One: Helping Teens Express Their Emotions and the following chapter called Managing Emotions, Part Two: Helping Teens Regain Emotional Control Recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association, Lisa Damour, Ph.D., co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast, writes about adolescents for the The New York Times, appears as a regular contributor to CBS News, works in collaboration with UNICEF, and maintains a clinical practice. She is the author of three New York Times bestsellers, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents, Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood and Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 🔑Key Points 🛌 Rest isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity and differs significantly from sleep in terms of mental and physical recovery needs.🧠 Uncovering the seven types of rest can highlight diverse needs: physical, mental, sensory, creative, emotional, social, and spiritual.🏃‍️ Rest from high-stress environments such as the ED is crucial for reducing exhaustion, enhancing decision-making, and maintaining empathy.🔄 The necessity for intentional rest: tailor your rest strategies to meet personal recharge needs effectively.🧐 Rest should be deserved, not earned—it’s a vital component of overall health and wellness, on par with nutrition and hydration.

Here we sharpen the person behind the practitioner by focusing on things that improve our performance, optimizing team dynamics and the human behavior that embodies the hidden curriculum of medicine. Today we are exploring the imperative topic of rest and why it’s not just about sleeping. The first of a two part series, hosted by Dr. Mark Ramzy with guests Dr. Maureen Aiad and Dr. Amil Badoolah, our discussion sheds light on the multifaceted nature of rest, especially in the demanding field of emergency medicine. If you’re a clinician striving to perform at your best under pressure, this episode offers valuable insights into achieving the rest you deserve. Cognitive Question How do healthcare professionals in high-stress environments distinguish between rest and sleep, and how can they effectively incorporate various types of rest into their routines to manage stress and improve performance? 💤How is Rest Different From Sleep? Sleep is biological. It’s essential—but it’s only one form of recovery.Rest, on the other hand, is intentional, multifaceted, and active. You can sleep for 8 hours and still feel depleted—because what you needed wasn’t sleep, it was rest—in a different dimension. 🏥How This Applies to the Emergency Department or ICU? In the fast-paced, high-pressure world of the ED or ICU, medical professionals often overlook the importance of rest, perceiving it as unproductive. Yet, rest is crucial for maintaining cognitive function and emotional resilience. The unique concept of rest outlined in the ‘seven types of rest’ can be particularly beneficial. Understanding and implementing these can help practitioners handle the rigors of patient care and decision-making more effectively. 7️⃣The Seven Types of Rest 1️⃣Physical Rest: Passive (like sleep) and active (like stretching, massage, gentle movement).2️⃣Mental Rest: Reducing decision fatigue. Tools like brain dumping, meditation, or taking real breaks during work.3️⃣Sensory Rest: This involves reducing the input from your senses, such as limiting screen time, turning off the lights, or enjoying quiet time.4️⃣Creative Rest: Reconnecting with awe. Nature, art, music—things that refill your inspiration tank5️⃣Emotional Rest: Being around people you don’t have to perform for. Saying “I’m not okay.” spaces and people where you can be your authentic self and be at peace6️⃣Social Rest: Taking space from draining interactions; spending time with life-giving people. 7️⃣Spiritual Rest: Connection to a greater purpose—faith, community, reflection, meditation ⏩Immediate Action Steps for Your Next Shift **Identify Your Rest Needs**: Reflect on what kind of fatigue you’re experiencing and tailor rest activities accordingly, whether it’s sensory detox or emotional unwinding.**Practice Sensory Rest**: Take brief moments to close your eyes, or step outside for fresh air to manage overstimulation during shifts.**Plan Intentional Breaks**: Schedule specific times for rest that focus on particular dimensions you identify as lacking.**Engage in Active Rest**: Incorporate activities like stretching or meditation during your breaks to enhance mental clarity and reduce physical exhaustion.**Connect with Supportive Colleagues**: Seek interactions with peers who offer emotional and social support, promoting a healthy work-life balance. 🛌🏽The Many Aspects of What Makes Up Rest Rest is multifaceted – it comes in more than one formRest is productive – it improves performance, decision-making, empathyRest is intentional – it requires thoughtful engagement, not autopilot. Make a real planRest is layered – especially sensory, which uses all 5 sensesRest is about input and detox – what you consume, and what you remove. Social rest is a good exampleRest is personal – one person’s recharge is another’s stressorRest is deserved, not earned – full stop. Conclusion Rest is a pivotal, multi-dimensional tool that extends beyond mere sleep. For healthcare professionals navigating the strenuous environment of an emergency setting, recognizing and implementing varied forms of rest can enhance overall well-being, decision-making, and patient care. Make rest a deliberate part of your routine, understand its different forms, and remember that it’s a necessity you deserve. 🚨 Clinical Bottom Line Incorporating rest into your lifestyle aligns with the demands of your professional roles and personal health needs. By understanding and employing various types of rest, you not only support your individual wellness but also enhance your ability to care for patients effectively. Rest is vital; it is not a privilege earned but an essential right you deserve every day. Further Reading Dalton-Smith, S. Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.

Comments or feedback? Send us a text! Empathy is widely viewed as the cornerstone of effective therapy—but what if we've been misunderstanding it all along?In this episode, Dr. Pete Kelly sits down with Dr. Douglas Flemons, to discuss his new book Empathic Engagement in Clinical Practice. Flemons challenges the common assumption that empathy is something therapists simply have, reframing it instead as something we do—moment by moment, in relationship.Together, they explore empathy as an active, relational process; unpack the critical distinctions between empathy, sympathy, and compassion; and examine why well-intentioned empathic efforts can sometimes miss the mark or even undermine the therapeutic alliance. The conversation also addresses therapist burnout, emotional boundaries, and how clinicians can engage deeply with clients without overidentifying or becoming emotionally depleted.This episode is essential listening for clinicians who want to refine their relational skills, strengthen therapeutic presence, and practice empathy in a way that is both clinically effective and personally sustainable.

Do you put pressure on yourself to be perfect? Not only is that impossible, but it's a dangerous goal for dads. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about the myth of perfection, navigating our flaws, and being our best for our family.  Why This MattersYou don't have to be perfect to be the perfect dad for your kids. What Do Dads Struggle With The Most? Wanting their kids to have a good lifeAiming to overcome mistakesRecognizing that being a dad is a serious jobWho Feels The Pressure?In 2018, the American Psychological Association found that “Perfectionism among (college students) significantly increased since the 1980s.” Nearly a decade later, those students are now adults and likely parents. This was 8 years ago… which means those same young people who craved perfection in 2018 are likely now parents. Are they striving to be perfect parents, too?What Makes a Perfect Father?Someone who is active, present, and cares about his kidsSomeone who understands being “perfect” adds incredible pressure. Someone committed to doing their best for his kids. Important Episode Timestamps00:00 – 03:24 | Why Dads Feel Pressure to Be Perfect03:24 – 05:31 | What Our Own Dads Modeled for Us05:31 – 07:19 | Perfectionism Is Increasing—And Parents Are Feeling It07:19 – 09:50 | Social Media Makes Dads Feel Like Failures09:50 – 11:36 | Every Dad Brings Something Different to the Table11:36 – 13:53 | How Dad Pressure Becomes Kid Pressure.13:53 – 15:31 | Your Kids Don't Want Perfect—They Want Present15:31 – 17:20 | Why Perfectionism Makes Dads Defensive17:20 – 23:51 | The Emotional Cost of Perfectionism in Parenting23:51 – End | Consistency Beats Perfection Every TimeAPD Pro Move:Make a list of the times you've failed as a dad.

She states that the number is actually higher. You’ll have to tune in to hear why. Dr. Wendi also talks about why her role as the president of the American Psychological Association is critical as we begin to imagine the solutions that will help us fight our way out of this mess.

According to the American Psychological Association, most American workers believe their workplace culture needs improvement. Recent research reveals that about 70-80% desire better leadership, improved communication, healthier work-life balance, and more opportunities for personal development. Many employees also report feeling disengaged or stressed, suggesting that issues extend beyond simple job satisfaction. Additionally, over half of workers think that their employers overestimate the health of company culture, pointing to a disconnect between perception and reality.

Designing Holidays—and Environments —that Heal, Not HarmAs the holiday season winds down, many of us breathe a sigh of relief. The decorations are packed away, the music fades, and the whirlwind of expenses and obligations comes to an end. Yet, for many, the aftermath brings its own stress—credit card bills, fatigue, and even emotional strain. The truth is, the holiday experience can carry its own form of trauma.Trauma is far more common than we often acknowledge. Research suggests that over 70% of Americans have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. The American Psychological Association defines trauma as “any disturbing experience that results in significant fear, helplessness, dissociation, confusion, or other disruptive feelings intense enough to have a long-lasting negative effect on a person's attitudes, behavior, and other aspects of functioning.”This raises an intriguing question: What if we could design environments—whether for holidays, workplaces, or communities—that reduce trauma and even promote healing?Despite its prevalence, trauma often goes untreated. Few who experience it receive the help they need. This gap inspired Janet Roche and Christine Cowart to take action. After meeting as volunteers at Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, they recognized the need for trauma-informed training for those working with vulnerable populations. In 2019, they co-founded the Trauma-Informed Design Society (TIDS) with a mission:“To create physical spaces that promote safety, well-being, and healing—spaces that respect identity, worth, and dignity, and foster empowerment.”On the latest episode of Experience by Design, we explore their framework for designing environments that minimize harm and support recovery. Janet and Christine share real-world applications—from correctional facilities to schools—and highlight Oregon's recent mandate for trauma-informed behavioral health units, which has driven demand for their credentialing programs and continuing education courses.Today, TIDS offers a suite of resources, including:Trauma-Informed Design Credentialing CoursesPartnerships with the American Society of Interior DesignersAn evaluation tool for K-12 schoolsTheir next course begins January 31st.

Creativity is not just for artists or makers, so how can we build creativity and move from having an idea to doing something with it? Joining Jill for this conversation is Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, a senior research scientist and the author of The Creativity Choice. Zorana discusses her journey into the world of creativity, the broader definition of creative acts beyond the arts, and how our emotions play a crucial role in creative processes. She emphasizes embracing discomfort, finding inspiration in frustration, and the necessity for community and collaboration in creative endeavors. This episode is a must-listen if you're curious to explore your own creative potential and bust the myth that creativity is just for the naturally gifted artists.Listen and Learn:How a formative childhood experience with art and creative differences sparked Zorana's lifelong passion for studying creativityHow creativity isn't limited to the arts; it can appear in everyday life, work, and problem-solving, showing that everyone has the potential to be creativeOvercoming fear, uncertainty, and the ‘gap trap' by embracing discomfort, practicing creative self-efficacyWhy creativity is less about sudden inspiration and more about exploring problems deeply, asking questions, experimenting, and allowing solutions to emergeHow both positive and negative emotions serve as valuable information that can inspire creativityWhy creative blocks are a normal part of the process, and why approaching them with self-compassion can help overcome them and restore creative flowHow creativity and community intersect, and how collaboration or social connections can support the creative processResources:Zorana's Website: https://www.zorana-ivcevic-pringle.com/The Creativity Choice: The Science of Making Decisions to Turn Ideas Into Action: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781541704329 Zorana's Substack Newsletter: https://creativitydecision.substack.com/ Connect with Zorana on Social MediaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zorana-ivcevic-pringle/ BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/z-i-pringle.bsky.social Twitter: https://x.com/ZoranaPsych Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZoranaIvcevicPringle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.z.i.pringle/About Zorana Ivcevic PringleZorana Ivcevic Pringle, Ph.D., is a Senior Research Scientist at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence.

In this episode, I'm joined by two pioneers at the forefront of reshaping our understanding of human consciousness - Professor Donald Hoffman and Dr Iain McGilchrist. Despite coming from very different backgrounds, they've both arrived at surprisingly similar conclusions about some of life's biggest questions and the nature of reality. This conversation explores the parallels—and differences—in their thinking, covering topics like: — The growing scientific evidence that consciousness may be fundamental — The shockingly complex structures that physicists are now discovering beyond spacetime and what this implies — The power of silence for creating breakthroughs in scientific and creative work — The need for both a rigorous scientific and embodied approach to understanding consciousness. And more. You can dive deeper into Iain's work through his book: The Matter with Things, and Don's via his book: The Case Against Reality. — Dr Iain McGilchrist is a Psychiatrist and Writer, who lives on the Isle of Skye, off the coast of North West Scotland. He is committed to the idea that the mind and brain can be understood only by seeing them in the broadest possible context, that of the whole of our physical and spiritual existence, and of the wider human culture in which they arise – the culture which helps to mould, and in turn is moulded by, our minds and brains. He was formerly a Consultant Psychiatrist of the Bethlem Royal and Maudsley NHS Trust in London, where he was Clinical Director of their southern sector Acute Mental Health Services. Dr McGilchrist has published original research and contributed chapters to books on a wide range of subjects, as well as original articles in papers and journals, including the British Journal of Psychiatry, American Journal of Psychiatry, The Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Telegraph and The Sunday Times. He has taken part in many radio and TV programmes, documentaries, and numerous podcasts, and interviews on YouTube, among them dialogues with Jordan Peterson, David Fuller of Rebel Wisdom, and philosopher Tim Freke. His books include Against Criticism, The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, The Divided Brain and the Search for Meaning, and Ways of Attending. He published his latest book: The Matter With Things, a book of epistemology and metaphysics. You can keep up to date with his work at https://channelmcgilchrist.com. – Prof. Donald Hoffman, PhD received his PhD from MIT, and joined the faculty of the University of California, Irvine in 1983, where he is a Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Sciences. He is an author of over 100 scientific papers and three books, including Visual Intelligence, and The Case Against Reality. He received a Distinguished Scientific Award from the American Psychological Association for early career research, the Rustum Roy Award of the Chopra Foundation, and the Troland Research Award of the US National Academy of Sciences. His writing has appeared in Edge, New Scientist, LA Review of Books, and Scientific American and his work has been featured in Wired, Quanta, The Atlantic, and Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.

#671: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week — five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's letter F stands for Financial Psychology. And we're diving deep with a conversation that changed how thousands of our listeners think about money. This episode originally aired in November 2022, but the insights feel more relevant than ever. Dr. Daniel Crosby reveals why your brain is your portfolio's worst enemy — and what you can do about it. ______ Money is the number one stressor in American lives. Every single year. Without exception. That's what Dr. Daniel Crosby discovered when he looked at decades of research from the American Psychological Association. In this rerun episode from our Greatest Hits Vault, Crosby joins us to reveal why your brain sabotages your investment decisions. He's both a clinical psychologist and behavioral finance expert. His findings will change how you think about money. Your body hijacks your financial judgment in strange ways. For example: People who need to pee become more risk-averse investors. It's called inhibitory spillover. When you're controlling your bladder, you also restrict your financial decisions. Here's another one: judges give harsher sentences when they're hungry. Thousands of court decisions prove it. The best predictor of whether you get jail time? When the judge last ate. We explore four behavioral risks that destroy wealth: ego, conservatism, attention, and emotion. Crosby shares data that stock pickers rarely hear: 74 percent of individual stocks have a lifetime expected return of zero. Three out of four companies eventually go bankrupt. Yet people keep betting on single stocks, dreaming they'll find the next Apple. Value investors suffer from depression and social isolation. Why? Because contrarian investing fights our deepest evolutionary wiring. Humans survived through cooperation. It's literally our only advantage over other animals. Bears have claws. Turtles have shells. We have teamwork. Crosby shares the Ash experiment, which shows how peer pressure warps reality. When nine people give the wrong answer about line lengths, three-quarters of participants follow along. New brain scans reveal something darker: social pressure physically changes how people see the lines. Their perception actually shifts. We discuss solutions through Crosby's "three E's": education, environment, and encouragement. Reading about biases won't fix them. You need systems and people. One powerful study: people who saw their children's photo for five seconds before banking saved twice as much money. The conversation reveals that money problems don't disappear with wealth. They just change form. Timestamps: Note: Timestamps will vary on individual listening devices based on dynamic advertising run times.

This is Mick's sixth appearance at The Weekend University, and I can think of very few people on the planet that have both the breadth and depth of knowledge in counselling and psychotherapy as him. This particular conversation focuses on his research into working at relational depth in counselling and psychotherapy. Here are some of the key things you'll learn: — What relational depth is and why it's critical for anyone working in the helping professions to be aware of — Martin Buber, the difference between “I - It” and “I Thou” Modes of Relating and how Buber's philosophy can enhance therapeutic work — The biggest barriers to relational depth and how to avoid them — The best practices for creating the conditions of relational depth with clients, and why you can't force it — Mick's advice to his younger self before becoming a psychotherapist.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Mark Yarhouse and Dr. Julia Sadusky about the rapidly expanding language of emerging sexual identities and what it means for the young people we care about. We explore why new terms keep appearing, how identity forms in adolescence, and what teens are actually trying to express when they use language many of us have never heard before. Rather than reacting with fear or reducing anyone to a label, Mark and Julia help us rethink our posture, moving toward curiosity, presence, and trust instead of anxiety and quick judgments. We dig into discipleship, belonging, and how to walk with teens in a way that reflects the steady, un-fragile heart of God. If you're a parent, pastor, or leader trying to navigate this moment with wisdom, compassion, and clarity, this conversation offers a hopeful and deeply grounded way forward.Mark A. Yarhouse, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist who specializes in conflicts tied to religious identity and sexual and gender identity. He assists people who are navigating the complex relationship between their sexual or gender identity and Christian faith. He is a Professor of Psychology at Wheaton College, where he runs the Sexual and Gender Identity (SGI) Institute and the Mental Health Collective. He is an award-winning teacher and researcher and is the past recipient of the Gary Collins Award for Excellence in Christian Counseling. He was a past participant with the Ethics and Public Policy Center think tank in Washington, DC, and he was named Senior Fellow with the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities to conduct a study of students navigating sexual identity concerns at Christian colleges and universities. He has served for over a decade as the Chair of the task force on LGBT issues for Division 36 (Psychology of Religion and Spirituality) of the American Psychological Association.Dr. Julia Sadusky is a licensed clinical psychologist and the owner of a private practice in Littleton, CO. She is also an author, consultant, speaker, and adjunct professor. Dr. Sadusky has done extensive research and clinical work in sexual and gender development and specializes in trauma-informed care. She earned a bachelor's degree from Ave Maria University and a master's degree and doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Regent University.

The Trump administration has staked all its capital on pushing data centers for companies that power AI chatbots. We juxtapose this effort to the weak sauce on many other economic policies to show how the promises to stand for the common man are not being fulfilled. We're joined by Dr. Mitch Prinstein, chief of psychology at the American Psychological Association, who warns against a moratorium on state-based AI regulations. Dr. Prinstein shares thoughts from his riveting congressional testimony on the generational harms being caused to children from the sycophantic nature of chatbots supplanting human interactions. The harms are voluminous, and the need for guardrails is undeniable. We discuss how the very tech companies that broke the internet by transforming it into a data-mining and psychological manipulation tool are now being given free rein to exacerbate every existing mental health crisis among children. He ends by offering a list of ideas for states to pursue, ideas that other countries are already pursuing, as our government focuses only on the Big Tech companies. Learn more about your ad choices.

Do You Have A Hormone Imbalance? Take my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz Most midlife women think they're “managing” their stress… but that's only because we've gotten used to feeling overwhelmed. The reality? We're running on cortisol autopilot—multitasking, under-sleeping, and juggling 47 tabs in our brain—while our hormones are quietly freaking out in the background. According to the American Psychological Association, more than half of us ages 35 to 55 report chronic stress symptoms like trouble sleeping, unexplained fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and yes, even weight gain—even though we don't feel stressed day to day. And chronically elevated cortisol has been directly linked to increased abdominal fat, blood sugar swings, and weight that refuses to budge in perimenopause. In today's episode, I'm sharing how everyday stress can silently stall weight loss in perimenopause—plus my 10-minute morning reset to calm your cortisol and get the scale moving again. In this episode, I‘ll address your most commonly asked questions, including: ✅ Why can't I lose weight in perimenopause even when I'm eating healthy? ✅ How does stress cause weight gain during perimenopause? ✅ Why am I gaining weight even though I don't feel stressed? ✅ What are signs my cortisol is too high in perimenopause? ✅ What morning habits help reduce cortisol? ✅ How do I know if cortisol is stalling my weight loss?   If you've ever wondered why the scale won't budge—and why nothing you're doing seems to work—this episode finally connects the dots between stress, cortisol, and stubborn fat. — “WHAT I WISH I KNEW AT 40” SERIES 101 | The Clean-Eating Trap: 5 Surprising Foods That Can Wreck Your Metabolism in Perimenopause [What I Wish I Knew Series]: https://pod.fo/e/350c50 100 | Perimenopause Weight Gain?
