In this raw and revealing episode, we sit down with IFBB Bikini Olympia champion Nathalia Melo, who takes us behind the curtain of bodybuilding, body image, and motherhood. From hiding her body three months before winning the Olympia to rebuilding her relationship with food, fitness, and herself after two kids, Nathalia opens up about the very real struggles behind the "perfect" body.We talk about:How toxic behaviors get glamorized in the fitness industryThe ripple effect of body image on kids — even when we think they aren't watchingResentment, routines, and why self-care is non-negotiableThe lies we tell ourselves (and others) about hormones, fat loss, and motivationHow Nathalia's mindset shifted when motherhood entered the pictureIf you've ever felt like you're failing because you can't do it all - this one's for you.Key Takeaways:Winning doesn't fix body image. Even at her physical peak, Nathalia struggled with shame and insecurity.Behavior speaks louder than words. Kids pick up on how we treat our bodies — even when we're not talking about it.Extremes don't work long-term. Whether it's competing or crash dieting, unsustainable methods erode confidence over time.Resentment grows in silence. Sacrificing yourself endlessly leads to burnout — and bitterness toward the ones you love.Motherhood is a mindset shift. Fitness after kids isn't about bouncing back — it's about redefining what matters.Listen Now If You:Feel stuck in an all-or-nothing cycle with your body or dietWant to raise kids without passing on your body image baggageAre tired of the toxic positivity that tells you to “just be grateful”Need permission to put yourself first, without guiltThank you Cured Nutrition for sponsoring our podcast!We LOVE Cured products and know you will, too!

THE STARE: FBI Profiler Robin Dreeke Breaks Down the Devil's Den Killer's Predatory Behavior When multiple witnesses say the same thing—that the man on the trail looked through them, not past them—you start to realize the killer wasn't just walking... he was scanning. In this episode, former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to analyze the haunting body language and decision-making of the man believed to have killed Clinton and Cristen Brink. What does that death-stare mean? Was he just assessing threats, or choosing victims? Dreeke dives deep into the behavioral cues—how the killer's intense gaze, oversized tactical-style bag, and heat-inappropriate clothing all point to someone on a mission. But was the Brinks' murder pre-targeted or opportunistic? Was this planned for days, or did something flip in real time? This isn't criminal profiling 101—it's a forensic look at the subtle but revealing signals that most people miss. And one line—“Why are you doing this?”—may be the most telling clue yet about whether this was personal… or projection.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified! Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to an inspiring guest: Dr. Crystal Collier, PhD, LPC-S. Dr. Collier is a therapist, educator, and author, known for her powerful work in prevention education and brain development. She is the author of The NeuroWhereAbouts Guide and the Know Your Neuro children's book series. The Know Your Neuro prevention model was selected for the Prevention and Education Commendation from the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. Dr. Collier received the Torch Bearer Award from the Texas Association of Addiction Professionals, Outstanding Research Award from the Association of Alternative Peer Groups, and was voted Counselor of the Year by the Houston Counseling Association. In this episode, Dr. Collier dives deep into: Risky behaviors to watch for in elementary students How early intervention impacts brain development The effects of screen time and technology on the brain The case for phone-free and watch-free schools Why it's never too early to talk to kids about feelings, empathy, and healthy coping She shares sobering insights, like how 50% of anxiety disorders are diagnosed by age 6, and how exposure to drugs, alcohol, and even pornography can start as early as elementary school. But the good news? The brain can change! We can equip kids with tools early, long before they reach their “peak” development years. The key lies in prevention, consistent brain-based education, and empowering parents and counselors with the right strategies. Key Takeaways for School Counselors: Feelings education is critical: Teach students to name and express emotions to avoid avoidant coping strategies. Social experience matters: Lack of play and exposure can lead to higher anxiety. Early empathy-building can prevent bullying down the road. Prevention strategies must begin in early childhood and evolve as students grow. Teach executive functioning through brain-based praise and risk education. Use tools from www.knowyourneuro.org to implement evidence-based practices. Pro tip from Dr. Collier: Encourage parents to have six 10-minute brain conversations per year with their kids—it's a simple but powerful way to build awareness. Birth to age 3 is foundational—more kids are sitting with screens than moving their bodies, which affects motor skill development. Tune in to hear how you can be part of this essential work in your school and community!

If someone told you that your pup is a blank slate and it's all in how you raise them - this episode is going to challenge that idea in a big way. Today, we're digging deep into puppy behavior , and how understanding your dog's nature can change everything about how you train and connect with them.

In this episode, Lauren explores what it really means to regulate in the midst of everyday chaos. Building on the Five Ives framework she and her partner developed, she explains why common strategies like breathwork or meditation often fall flat when we are overwhelmed and in survival mode. Regulation, she reminds us, is not about staying calm all the time. It is about noticing when we are dysregulated and learning how to recover quickly and effectively.Lauren shares practical, real world tools that do not require extra time, just a shift in intention. From humming in the car to squeezing your toes while standing in line, she offers simple ways to pair regulation with routines you already have. Whether you are barely making it to lunch or trying to prevent burnout, this episode offers accessible, meaningful strategies that meet you right where you are.Sign up for the University of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseOther related resources from Five Ives: Blog Post: Why Traditional Employee Wellness Programs Fail (And What Works Instead)Survive Mode: Recognizing When Your Organization is in CrisisWhat are the Five Ives?Podcast:How to Get Kids to Cooperate without Power StrugglesWhat Happens When Consequences BackfireHelping Children Catch your Calm with Nervous System RegulationChaos to ConnectionPart 2: Behavior isn't the ProblemPart 1: Behavior isn't the ProblemHive- The Last Stage of the Five IvesThrive- The Fourth Stage of the Five IvesStrive- The Third Stage of the Five IvesRevive- The Second Stage of the Five IvesSurvive- The First Stage of the Five IvesWhat are the Five Ives?Our Online Programs: Behavior BreakthroughPolicing Under PressureBoard Governance TrainingUniversity of Pennsylvania Behavior Breakthrough Accredited CourseSubscribe to our mailing list and find out more about Stress, Trauma, Behavior and the Brain!Check out our Facebook Group – Five Ives!Five Ives Website websiteThe Behavior Hub blogIf you're looking for support as you grow your organization's capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey.

In this episode of the Art of the Session series, I focus on one of the most foundational yet misunderstood CCPT skills: tracking behavior. I explain what it is, when to use it, and why it matters—even when it seems like “nothing is happening” in the playroom. I walk through examples of how to track behavior using simple, child-centered language, and I break down the structure of an effective tracking response. This episode is full of reminders about staying present, engaged, and adherent to the model, even during quiet or ambiguous moments in session. I also talk about the importance of remaining verbally active throughout the play session, even if you're not physically participating in the play. Tracking behavior helps the child feel seen without feeling watched, which protects the therapeutic relationship and keeps us aligned with the CCPT model. Whether you're a new or seasoned therapist, this episode reinforces the idea that mastering the basics—especially tracking—is essential to doing great work.

My guest is Dr. Nirao Shah, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health. Additionally, we discuss how biology relates to gender identity and the impact of hormone therapies on brain circuits that regulate mating, parenting and social bonding.

Hey Team! This week I'm talking with Britt Piper, a somatic experiencing practitioner, trauma educator, and author of Body First Healing. Britt's work focuses on understanding how trauma impacts the nervous system and brings both professional expertise and a deeply personal understanding of what it means to heal. In our conversation, we start with Britt's story and then we dive into what somatic therapy actually looks like, how trauma can live in the body long after the mind “knows” we're safe, and why the nervous system often gets stuck in survival mode. We also get into the science behind stress responses, intergenerational trauma, and practical ways to start listening to your body's signals instead of fighting against them. Also, just as a quick note before we get into it, today's episode includes discussion of trauma, including mentions of sexual violence, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts. If these topics are sensitive for you, please take care while listening - feel free to skip ahead or pause when needed. Books Body First Healing by Britt Piper The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk It Didn't Start With You by Mark Wolynn Therapy & Practitioner Resource Somatic Experiencing International - https://traumahealing.org/ The Embody Lab - https://www.theembodylab.com/ Britt's Body First Healing Program - https://www.bodyfirsthealing.com/ If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at https://HackingYourADHD.com/234 https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk - YouTube https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD - Patreon This Episode's Top Tips 1. Somatic practices are body-based approaches to healing that focus on how trauma and stress are held in the nervous system rather than just the mind. They employ gentle techniques, such as tracking body sensations, subtle movements, and breath, to help the body complete its stress response cycles. 2. SI-BAM is a tool from Somatic Experiencing that helps track your internal state when emotions feel vague or difficult to name. It stands for Sensation, Image, Behavior, Affect (emotion), and Meaning. It begins by noticing physical sensations (such as tightness, warmth, or buzzing), and then observing if any mental images arise. It is followed by observing your body's behavior or impulses (fidgeting, leaning forward) and from there checking for any identifiable emotions, and noticing what meaning or story you attach to the experience. 3. If you feel stuck in the same emotional patterns and if stress, anxiety, or trauma seem to “live” in your body, showing up as chronic tension, pain, or fatigue, somatic therapy could be an option for you. Somatic work can give you tools to gently release that “stuck” survival energy and restore a sense of calm. 4. When dealing with trauma, you don't have to go it alone, but it is also important to work with a practitioner who understands what they are doing. And understand that somatic therapy is just one of many options that you can use to help you get the help you need.

A Parenting Resource for Children’s Behavior and Mental Health
When your child is constantly overwhelmed, melting down over transitions, or avoiding tasks altogether, it's easy to feel like they're just not trying. But the truth is much deeper than behavior. Their brain is likely dysregulated—and stuck in survival mode.Let's walk through what's really happening inside your child's brain when they can't focus, remember directions, or sit still… and what we can do to help them thrive.What Happens to the Brain When a Child Experiences Trauma or Chronic Stress?Trauma hijacks the nervous system. When a child experiences trauma or ongoing stress, their brain shifts into survival mode—fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. This automatic response shuts down the very brain regions responsible for learning, focus, and behavior regulation.One of the first areas impacted is the prefrontal cortex, which governs executive functioning. When this part of the brain goes offline, your child may struggle with impulse control, organization, memory, and attention—not because they aren't capable, but because their brain is busy trying to stay safe.At the same time, the body floods with stress hormones like cortisol, keeping your child in a hypervigilant state. They may appear jumpy, on edge, or quick to react—because their nervous system is stuck in overdrive.Sensory input also becomes overwhelming, making even routine classroom activities feel chaotic or threatening. Transitions, bright lights, or loud sounds can easily trigger a shutdown or meltdown.Focus and memory decline when the brain is in survival modeImpulsivity and disorganization are signs the prefrontal cortex is offlineSensory overwhelm makes learning environments feel unsafeMeltdowns, avoidance, or zoning out are protective—not defiant—responsesReal-Life ExampleOne mom shared how her daughter would break down in tears every time math came up—not because she didn't understand the numbers, but because her nervous system went straight into panic mode. That fear of failure was rooted in earlier struggles that left her feeling ashamed and defeated.Once they shifted the focus to calming her brain first—with simple regulation strategies—her anxiety around math began to ease, and learning became possible again.What Does Emotional Dysregulation Look Like in the Classroom?Emotional dysregulation doesn't follow one script. It shows up in so many different ways—and that's exactly why kids get so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or mislabeled.

When it comes to supporting people with intellectual/developmental disabilities, particularly with autism, it's important to work hard to find the right path. A common therapy that many families and individuals utilize, ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) can be a very helpful tool in ensuring safety and success in community spaces. However, is it the best choice (or only choice) to help someone with IDD use their voice and be their authentic selves in the world? In this episode, Sarah Grazier, Executive Director of the Colorado Developmental Disabilities Council, joins THINK+change to discuss the importance of community integration and how we can support individuals with IDD in a variety of ways!
Politically Entertaining with Evolving Randomness (PEER) by EllusionEmpire
Send us a textAmerica's mental health crisis extends beyond individuals to our national discourse, creating escalating divisions that threaten our collective well-being and future. Psychotherapist Phyllis Leavitt explains how applying family systems therapy principles to our societal problems could create pathways for healing our fractured nation.• Mentally healthy people don't want to hurt each other - they seek relationship repair, listening, and taking responsibility rather than blame• Our political system currently models behaviors we wouldn't tolerate in schools, workplaces, or families• The win-lose dynamic dominating our politics has reached a dangerous point where our ability to destroy each other threatens our survival• Immigration issues require examining root causes - people flee homelands due to conditions often influenced by developed nations' interference• Inside every perpetrator is an unhealed victim - understanding this helps address the true origins of destructive behavior• Social media algorithms amplify our worst tendencies by feeding us increasingly divisive content based on our engagement patterns• Small positive actions matter - millions of Americans doing good work represent our potential for healing• We must choose between being right and having relationships that sustain us• Concrete suggestion: trained facilitators in Congress could transform political discourse by enforcing basic rules of civil communicationHealing begins with each of us in our own spheres of influence - we can all be better listeners, more compassionate, and committed to repairing relationships rather than winning arguments.Your host and Phyllis E.

We call out ourselves for our unhinged behavior at the beach, and Jesse calls in with a story that is so crazy, we wish we were involved!
In this episode of the Behavioral Observations Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Brady Phelps, about a topic that has perplexed, and perhaps captivated both mainstream Psychology as well as pop culture: Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Our wide-ranging conversation explored the intersection of behavior analysis, mental health, and trauma, with a special focus on how we can understand DID through a scientific, behavioral lens. Brady's Career Journey Brady shared how he discovered behavior analysis almost by accident as an undergrad at Utah State University, under the mentorship of Carl Cheney. After a long academic career, Brady retired in 2021 but remains actively involved in the field. He's currently developing an Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) toolkit with Dr. Steve Eversole at Behavior Development Solutions, and he's also writing a textbook on learning and behavior designed to be accessible to 20-year-olds. Understanding Dissociative Identity Disorder Behaviorally We dove deep into Brady's research on DID, originally published in 2000. His goal was to approach DID from a behavior-analytic perspective, not through traditional psychoanalytic theory. As we discussed, DID has evolved from being characterized by dramatic behavioral shifts to more subtle, self-reported identity disruptions. Brady argued that the identities themselves are better understood as reified constructs—products of distorted tacting that contacts reinforcement—rather than discrete psychological entities. Trauma, Dissociation, and Behavioral Function Brady emphasized the importance of not dismissing trauma reports, while also cautioning against assuming trauma automatically leads to DID. We talked about avoidance behaviors, escape contingencies, and how dissociation might function as a response to overwhelming experiences. He brought up examples like Cotard's Syndrome to show how distorted tacting can manifest in extreme ways. Rethinking Diagnostic Criteria for DID We discussed research into amnesiac barriers, such as the Concealed Information Test, which shows people might learn something even if they claim not to remember it. These findings, Brady suggested, should prompt a re-evaluation of how DID is diagnosed, particularly the differences between the Post-Trauma Model and the Social-Cognitive Model—the latter of which emphasizes social reinforcement and therapist influence in shaping alternate identities. Therapy Techniques and Reinforcement Contingencies Brady detailed how some therapists use techniques like “roll calls” or even suggesting names to clients in session. While these methods may sound extreme, they reflect how therapist behavior can inadvertently reinforce identity fragmentation. We also discussed Robert Kohlenberg's 1973 study on behavioral repertoires, which demonstrated how social reinforcement shaped client behavior across different identity presentations. The Sybil Case and Media Influence We revisited the infamous Sybil case, which helped popularize DID in the 20th century. Despite being exposed as fraudulent, Sybil's story continues to shape public and clinical views of the disorder. We also talked about more recent media portrayals—from TikTok to a 2023 Scientific American article—and how social media can reinforce the performance of alternate identities, especially among vulnerable populations. Behavior Analysis in Mental Health Brady and I wrapped up with a discussion on how behavior analysts can contribute to mental health conversations. He encouraged new BCBAs to collaborate with non-behavioral colleagues while staying rooted in behavioral principles. Above all, he emphasized balancing empathy with scientific rigor—understanding people without falling into speculative mentalism. Show Notes and Resources Brady (2025).

“Everything should be made as simple as possible—but not simpler.” — EinsteinLet's cut to it:The Unified Behavior Model (UBM) may be the first-ever behavioral framework that's elemental, falsifiable, and actually teachable to anyone—not just researchers or therapists.UBM reveals what's really driving your behavior (in the moment and shaping it over time)—not by various aspects, but via the operable “system”—the Behavior-Echo-System™.The Behavior Echo-System (BES)Environmentally speaking, the BES consists of multiple, dynamic feedback loops based upon just four elemental, interdependent components:Environment (your surroundings + your body)Behaviors, Habits, and Skills (what you do—or don't)Stories/Thinking (the meaning machine in your mind)Emotions & Feelings (your internal salience signals)Together, these explain the essential four elements involved in influencing and shaping behavior over time.If you believe there's a missing, irreducible fifth element—we have a challenge for you.

This week on the Do Good to Lead Well podcast I am joined by Martin Dubin, a seasoned clinical psychologist and business coach. We discuss his recently released book, "Blindspotting: How to See What's Holding You Back as a Leader." Martin's rich experience with 360-degree feedback highlights how a leader's strengths can sometimes inadvertently become weaknesses and why a heightened self-awareness is key in maintaining a balanced approach.We also tackle the complex web of unconscious biases and leadership blind spots, identifying six specific types that can impact our effectiveness. This engaging discussion anchors itself in a psychological model focused on the core motives driving behavior, with special attention to the needs for power, affiliation, and achievement. Martin touches on identity blind spots, where a disconnect between one's role and self-perception can create challenges, especially during transitions from individual contributor roles to managerial positions. He emphasizes the necessity of adapting one's identity to align with evolving roles and responsibilities.Finally, we tackle the emotional aspects of leadership, addressing the significance of emotional awareness for leadership success.
