Podcasts about approved clinical supervisor

Ronnie Littlewood, M.S.W., R.S.W., has spent the last 25 years working in the helping professions, guiding thousands of couples through life's most tender and turbulent seasons. Her expertise spans complex issues including infertility, infidelity, addiction, and mental health struggles. But what truly sets Ronnie apart is the heart she brings to her work. Her own upbringing was far from conventional. Raised across multiple provinces, in a series of blended families, and having attended 18 different schools, Ronnie developed an early fascination with love: what creates it, what breaks it, and most importantly, how it heals. This lifelong curiosity evolved into a career focused on understanding attachment, trauma, and connection. Whether supporting adoptive families, teaching parenting skills, guiding reunifications, or walking couples through the aftermath of betrayal and loss, Ronnie's mission has remained the same: to help people learn how to love each other—and themselves—with more courage, compassion, and truth. Ronnie is trained in the PREP Method (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program), has completed graduate studies in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and holds Levels 1 and 2 of The Gottman Method. She is also an Approved Clinical Supervisor through ACT (Advanced Counselor Training). Clients often describe Ronnie as refreshingly real, direct, deeply intuitive, with a knack for humor, energetic insight, and occasionally (hee hee,) some salty language. Her life's mission? To help #1MillionMarriages heal, grow, and thrive.#ronnielittlewood #couplesclinic #registeredsocialworker #chrispomay #livewithcdp #barrycullenchevrolet https://www.thecouplesclinic.ca/https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/chris...

I became a client at the local domestic violence shelter - Safe Futures in Southeastern Connecticut. I filed for the dissolution of my marriage and obtained a restraining order. I also became a plaintiff in the civil family court system.While my civil family court exposure is ongoing, I have decided to be a part of the solution as opposed to simply complaining about the injustices I see.

This week on Real Talk with Rachael, I'm chatting with Dr. Amy O'Hana about her book Beyond Burnout: What to Do When Your Work Isn't Working for You. Dr. Amy O'Hana is a licensed professional counselor in Oregon and an Approved Clinical Supervisor. She is a full-time professor of clinical mental health counseling at the University of Western States in Portland, OR, has been a full-time counselor educator for 18 years, manages her own private practice, and has been the director of two counseling training clinics. Amy's research interests are human potential and motivation, erotic intelligence (which is more about spirituality than sexuality), and integrative approaches in psychotherapy (spirit-body-mind). She is the author of two published books, When Your Child is Grieving: God's Hope and Wisdom for the Journey Toward Healing and Beyond Burnout: What To Do When Your Work Isn't Working For You. She writes every day – whether fiction and non-fiction, poetry, journaling, letters, or emails. When not writing, counseling or teaching, you can find Amy working on her fixer-upper, playing with her French bulldog Sunny, kayaking, or exploring the mountains of Central Oregon. Key Points from Our Conversation: Burnout is essentially a disconnection. It's a sense of dysregulated wholeness meaning you're fragmented in some way and disconnected from your purpose. 3 characteristics of burnout - a sense of emotional exhaustion, physical exhaustion, and loss of meaning Loss of meaning can result in unethical behavior that seems out of character with the person engaged in it. They have become so disconnected from themselves that they no longer perceive things rationally. It's easy to judge, but we can all become so exhausted that we disconnect from ourselves. Work is not a vocation. Stay-at-home moms experience burn out too. Being overbooked and burnt out can occur at the same time. When you're overbooked, you'll feel better once you change the environment. Burnout requires a process of reconnection. You can know you're burnt out if you notice changes on 3 levels - you're becoming more cynical, you notice weight gain or become more irritable, and you begin asking existential spiritual questions 5 intentions of burnout resolution - practice stillness so God can restore your soul. Step into the stillness of presence and connection. Seek connection with God, yourself, and work. Cultivate awareness of who you are, where you are, and where you want to be. Focus on who you are to be, not what you are to do. Move past doing to being by being intentional about fully connecting with the moment you're in instead of focusing on the end goal. When you notice a friend experiencing burnout, find a way to serve them. They may not even realize they're experiencing it, but it's serious. Give them grace while they navigate their disconnection. If you're experiencing burnout, the first step is acknowledging it. Slow down and understand it's a crisis, then attend to it. Let's Get Real Practical: Listen to the Talk Therapy Series about burnout Be present in the moment. Insert the "to be" in your to-do list.

PTSD is under-discussed and over-stigmatized. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is often regarded as a ‘wartime diagnosis' and while it does affect a lot of veterans, this is furthest from the truth. PTSD does not discriminate and often goes unnoticed or at least disregarded as a potential diagnosis because of the stigmas associated with it. Because of the misinformation and perceptions surrounding PTSD, a lot of people, including those who serve on jury duty and our first line responders, often go without a proper diagnosis and treatment, in addition to there being limited resources. PTSD can be frightening and at times, extremely invasive to quality of life. I am so honoured to introduce Dr. Karla L. Sapp who was more than willing to have this important conversation in hopes of empowering, educating and helping our listeners. We discuss the specifics of PTSD, the stereotypes, the causes, the symptoms, how to best support someone with PTSD as well as how to support yourself. If you have any more questions, please let me know!
