From the Bible Praise the Lord, my soul,     and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins     and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit     and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things     so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.The Lord works righteousness     and justice for all the oppressed. Psalm 103:2-6 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. John 5:2-9a For your Maker is your husband— the Lord Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. Isaiah 54:5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Resources Intimate Covenant Podcast Intimate Covenant Retreat Trapped by Trauma | The Forgiven Wife Mending the Remnants of Brokenness | The Forgiven Wife For My Sister Sexual Assault Survivors | The Forgiven Wife Your Wife Has Been Sexually Harassed - Hot, Holy & Humorous Episode 64: Healing from Sexual Abuse, with Mary DeMuth - Sex Chat for Christian Wives My Larry Nassar Testimony Went Viral.

Preventing people from moving when something terrible happens is what makes trauma a trauma. In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie dives into the biology behind why not being able to move (either physically or internally) can create trauma. She looks more closely at the moment in the trauma response that she calls "hitting the wall" - the pivotal point where we feel powerless and our physiology shifts from a stress response to a trauma response. Dr. Aimie also explains that our neuroception (nervous system's perception) determines whether we take action or shut down, and this process isn't based on reality but on our perceived capacity against perceived danger. So when we feel overwhelmed, our nervous system prevents movement as a way to protect us. You'll hear more about: The five steps of trauma response and why "the wall" is the most significant How our nervous system can block our own movement The biological factors that influence our capacity to respond vs. shut down And more! If you're interested in understanding why you might "hit the wall" in everyday situations and how to support your body's capacity to respond differently, then this episode is for you! For more on this topic, listen to the full conversation with Dr. Bessel van der Kolk in Episode 116: The Body Keeps Score: How Trauma Rewires Your Nervous System

In this episode, we dive deep into nervous system regulation, how chronic illness and trauma keep the body stuck in survival mode, and how to rewire your brain for healing, peace, and aligned action. Tiffany shares her personal healing journey with lupus, explains the Safe & Sound Protocol, and offers tangible practices to shift from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest.”Resources Mentioned:

In the wake of updates to Child Safety Standards emerging from Australia's Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Mirriam Francis wrote to Victoria's Commission for Children and Young People outlining the ways in which she sees Scientology teachings and practices to be violating these standards. While concepts of religious freedom and choice can muddy the waters of certain discussions around coercive organisations, Mirriam sees the regulations and laws to protect children as a key lens through which such practices need to be viewed and pursued. She speaks from personal experience that spans three countries.Links:Child Safe Standards — Commission for Children and Young People Victoria (you can raise a concern here); Queensland Family & Child Commission (you can raise a concern here)Child Safe Scheme — NSW Office of the Children's Guardian (you can raise a concern here)Australian Child Safe Standards – A State By State Guide 2024 — Safe Space LegalRage Against the Dark Arts — Mirriam Francis' SubstackThetans in Young Bodies — Season 2, Episode 1 of Leah Remini's Scientology and the Aftermath in which Mirriam Francis featuresReport of the Board of Enquiry into Scientology — by Kevin Victor Anderson, Q.C., the State of Victoria, Australia, 1965The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma — by Bessel van der Kolk, Penguin, 2015Truth and Repair: How Trauma Survivors Envision Justice — by Judith Lewis Herman, Basic Books, 2023Dianetics excerpt re: 7-year-old child responding to kiss from adult maleA Children of God message to members mentioning their "friends in Scientology"Introduction to Scientology Ethics High CrimesYou can support us on Patreon.

In response to overwhelm, the body tries to keep one safe in different ways. Sometimes our body feels so shaken and shocked that it makes our mind need to disconnect from the pain of it. This is called dissociating.  Yet, the body still remembers what happened. The impact to our biology doesn't go away just because we don't understand or remember something. The impact is how the body keeps track of everything from out past. When we understand that our body is reacting because it is still holding onto something from the past, it can help us uncover what needs to be healed. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk joins Dr. Aimie in this episode to explore the profound nature of trauma - how it affects the body in ways that make it keep score. He explains why trauma is not just about the events but about how those experiences become engrained in our biology, creating patterns that persist long after the danger has passed. This in turn can make trauma something that is truly "unbelievable, unbearable, and overwhelming." Our bodies are built to move when we're in danger. When we can't move during traumatic events, it changes how our brain works. This conversation looks at why this happens. It also explains how difficult experiences in childhood create patterns in our minds - like an inner roadmap - that shape how we see the world and connect with people as adults. They'll talk more on: Why trauma leaves people unable to articulate their experiences How dissociation works as a way to survive during overwhelming events Why the lack of movement during an event is what makes it traumatic The physical toll of living with a dysregulated nervous system Why healing must address the basic housekeeping functions of the body How trauma blocks our capacity to experience pleasure and worthiness And more!   If you're working with trauma professionally, supporting someone on their healing journey, or navigating your own recovery, this episode is excellent for understanding how the body keeps score while offering practical actions to reclaim agency, embody healing, and create a life worth living through curiosity and collaboration.   Guides, Tools & Resources: Steps to Identify and Heal Trauma: A Roadmap for Healing Trauma - Find out what trauma is, how to recognize it, and get simple steps to help you heal in this 23-page guide.

Hallo und herzlich willkommen zum Podcast Blindspotting – gemeinsames Ausloten blinder Flecken in Therapie, Beratung und Medizin. Wir freuen uns, in dieser Folge Bernhard Wandernoth zum Gespräch begrüßen zu können. Er studierte Elektrotechnik an der Technischen Universität München mit Schwerpunkt Signalverarbeitung und Informationstheorie und promovierte im Bereich quantenlimitierter Laserkommunikation. Nach zwanzig Jahren in der Raumfahrtindustrie wechselte er in den Bereich der mentalen Gesundheit und fokussiert sich seitdem auf die Entwicklung praxistauglicher und klinisch maximal effektiver Technologien. Er gründete die BEE Medic Unternehmensgruppe, die Technologien zur Unterstützung diagnostischer und therapeutischer Prozesse im Bereich mentaler Gesundheit entwickelt. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt seiner Arbeit ist die Förderung von Forschungs- und Pilotprojekten, die insbesondere Menschen zugutekommen sollen, deren Teilhabe an der Gesellschaft von einer verbesserten Gehirnfunktion abhängt. Wir sprechen mit ihm darüber… … was ihn als Beobachter geprägt hat und wie seine Begeisterung für Technologie und deren Einsatz für Mentale Gesundheit entstanden ist. … wie er vom Investmentbanking zum Neurofeedback gekommen ist. … wie er als Ingenieur sich Themen erschließt, über seine Erfahrungen in der Raumfahrt und von wiederholtem Möglichmachen des Unmöglichen. … wie man sich Neurofeedback vorstellen kann, warum es mehr mit Chirurgie als mit Wellnessmassage zu vergleichen ist und wie er selbst zu Beginn dessen therapeutisches Potential einschätzte. … wie es sich diagnostisch nutzen lässt, beim Neurofeedback dem Gehirn beim Arbeiten zusehen zu können. … was seiner Meinung nach ein zentrales Problem und blinder Fleck im Bereich der Therapie und Mentalen Gesundheit ist. … welche Rolle er - sowohl beim Neurofeedback wie auch generell im Bereich der Mentalen Gesundheit - qualifiziertem Fachpersonal zuspricht. … welche Unterschiede im Hinblick auf Mentale Gesundheit und diesbezügliche Angebote er zwischen Europa und den USA erlebt. … seine diesbezüglichen Forschungsprojekte und das Potential von Neurofeedback gerade auch für Menschen, die am Rande der Gesellschaft stehen und viel Bedarf aber wenig Zugang zu therapeutischen Angeboten haben. … welche Erfahrungen er mit KI hat, wie er deren Rolle bei der Zukunft der Therapie sieht und an welche Grundfrage die KI uns seiner Meinung nach gerade heranführt.

Joel spoke with repeat guest Nijay Gupta and first-time guest Melissa Barciela Mandala about Paul's notion of "love." They discuss the impulse to find a "theological center" to Paul's New Testament writings, the success of Nijay's attempt to locate the love of God as this "center," and of course, what we are all currently reading and enjoying.Nijay K. Gupta is Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. He is co-editor of the Dictionary of Paul and His Letters (2nd ed.), The State of New Testament Studies, The State of Pauline Studies, and serves as a senior translator for the New Living Translation. His publications include Paul and the Language of Faith, A Beginner's Guide to New Testament Studies, Strange Religion, and commentaries on Galatians, Philippians, Colossians, and 1–2 Thessalonians, as well as his brand-new publication from Eerdmans The Affections of Christ Jesus, which will be the focus of our conversation today.Melissa J. Barciela Mandala is Assistant Professor of New Testament at Palm Beach Atlantic University and works primarily in Pauline studies. A revised version of her doctoral dissertation entitled The Suffering Body as a Site of Virtue Formation in Philippians is forthcoming with Mohr Siebeck. Her research focused on the apostle Paul's view of the body and suffering within his ancient philosophical context. The subjects of current and past work include various approaches to Paul's Letter to the Romans, virtue ethics in relation to Paul, and explorations of comparative methodology in biblical studies more broadly. Books Mentioned in this Episode:If you'd like to order any of the following books, we encourage you to do so from Hearts and Minds Books(An independent bookstore in Dallastown, PA, run by Byron and Beth Borger) The Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology by Nijay GuptaThe Suffering Body as a Site of Virtue Formation in Philippians by Melissa Barciela Mandala (forthcoming)1 Corinthians: A Theological, Pastoral and Missional Commentary by Michael GormanColossians and Philemon (Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament) by Holly BeersThe Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van Der KolkRemembering Paul: Ancient and Modern Contests over the Image of the Apostle by Benjamin WhiteThe Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing: A Theological Commentary by Jonathan PenningtonLife on the Silent Planet: Essays on Christian Living from C.S.

How do we get unstuck and move towards healing? Last week we dove into Dr. Caroline Leaf's book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, and we continue the series today with work by trauma recovery expert Bessel van der Kolk. Inspired by Bessel's work we discuss 3 more additional movements in healing from trauma by expounding on the role of safety, imagination, and synchrony. As always we look at these topics through a mind, body, and spirit lens and hope that you will be equipped and empowered to move through any trauma in your life. Sponsor:The Wellness CompanyWebsite: ⁠https://www.twc.health/lovelife⁠Code: LOVELIFE for 15% off your order!Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson

From a recent SAND Community Gathering (March 2025) Join mental health clinician Linda Thai and writer Jungwon Kim for an in-depth conversation on intergenerational trauma, historical grief, and healing in community. Together, they explored psychological, spiritual, and communal reverberations of historical violence, framed within the context of U.S. wars in Korea and Vietnam, yet deeply relevant to other conflicts, past and present. They shared their experiences and observations of the complex dynamics of remembering and forgetting—and how they play out across families and communities fragmented by political and militarized violence. Further, they explore modes of restoration that are often overlooked by Western therapeutic approaches: somatic and communal transmutation, cultural ritual, and narrative justice. The pathways they shared honor the deep connections between personal, historical, and communal dimensions of trauma. A vital conversation for anyone seeking to understand how the profound wisdom held within cultural memory can contribute to intergenerational healing. Jungwon Kim is an award-winning writer and cultural worker. She is also a communications leader, organizational strategy consultant, and journalist who has dedicated her professional life to human rights and environmental advocacy. As Head of Creative & Editorial at the Rainforest Alliance, she directed a multimedia team of writers, videographers, and graphic designers. Earlier in her career, she served as the editor of Amnesty International USA's human rights quarterly that featured the work of award-winning journalists and documentary photographers (circulation 300,000). She began her storytelling career as a newspaper reporter, magazine editor, and on-air correspondent for nationally syndicated public radio programs. Linda Thai, LMSW ERYT-200 is a trauma therapist and educator who specializes in brain and body-based modalities for addressing complex developmental trauma. Linda has worked with thousands of people from all over the world to promote mindfulness, recover from trauma, and tend to grief as a means of self care. Linda's work centers on healing with a special focus on the experiences of adult children of refugees and immigrants. Her teaching is infused with empathy, storytelling, humor, research, practical tools, applied knowledge, and experiential wisdom. She has assisted internationally renowned psychiatrist and trauma expert, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, with his private small group psychotherapy workshops aimed at healing attachment trauma. She has a Master of Social Work with an emphasis on the neurobiology of attachment and trauma.

Hello, and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience.I'm your host, Jordan Youkilis, and in this episode, I'm joined by Brad Yates, founder of Tap with Brad. In this conversation, Brad describes his journey from actor to hypnotherapist to coaching with the healing modality of tapping. Brad explains how tapping helped cure his chocolate cravings, and the relationship between tapping, acupuncture, and energy meridians.Next, we discuss Emotional Freedom Techniques and how tapping serves to release stress. We then talk about the reluctance of Western medicine to incorporate Eastern energy healing, and proceed with a live demonstration of tapping, which Brad considers a form of energy hygiene. We experiment with tapping as a means of breaking addiction. We consider the importance of loving yourself, and of integrating your spiritual and physical bodies. Brad highlights how self-sabotage is simply a misguided form of self-love.We then discuss the release of trauma at subluxated points in the nervous system, with a specific focus on the connection between my right foot and feelings of wrath. We consider how we humans have a tendency to push people away from us as a defense mechanism. We end the discussion on God, love and worthiness.This outro is titled: “Tapping: Emotional Freedom Techniques”. Music from the show is available on the Spotify playlist “Entangled – The Vibes”.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Malaysia Harrell, a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and military veteran, to discuss resilience, healing, and transformation after trauma. Malaysia shares her incredible journey—from working in high-intensity environments like prisons, child welfare, and disaster zones to surviving sepsis, multiple surgeries, and a near-death experience during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Despite facing unimaginable physical and emotional challenges, Malaysia refused to let her circumstances define her. She walks us through her healing process, the power of surrender, and how she reprogrammed her mind and body for complete transformation.  If you've ever felt stuck in pain, this episode will show you that healing is possible—and that you have the power to rise from the ashes.    What You'll Learn in This Episode:  How trauma manifests in the mind, body, and spirit The connection between childhood trauma and the desire to serve others Why emotional detachment can be a coping mechanism How a near-death experience became a turning point in Malaysia's healing The role of surrender in transformation How to use visualization and subconscious reprogramming for healing The impact of epigenetics and generational trauma Practical strategies for rewiring your mindset and body for resilience    Key Takeaways & Insights:  You can't heal in the same environment that made you sick. Malaysia shares how stepping out of toxic environments was crucial for her transformation.  Surrender is not weakness—it's power. True healing begins when we let go and trust the process.  Trauma lives in the body, not just the mind. Healing requires more than talk therapy—it involves addressing deep-rooted subconscious patterns and cellular memories.  Your body is always speaking to you—listen to it. Malaysia's experience with sepsis taught her that we must advocate for ourselves when we know something is wrong.  Transformation requires a mindset shift. Through visualization, biofeedback, and reprogramming the subconscious, Malaysia rewired her mind and body for healing.    Quotes from the Episode:  “I was the one who needed saving, but I thought I had to save everyone else first.” – Malaysia Harrell  “When I made the decision to heal, everything started to align.”  “Surrendering isn't giving up—it's giving in to a higher plan for your life.”  “You can't be your own therapist—you have to allow yourself to receive help.”    Resources Mentioned:  Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz – A book on subconscious reprogramming and self-image transformation Heal – A documentary on the power of the mind in healing The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk – Understanding how trauma is stored in the body Medical Medium - Anthony William – Exploring natural healing through nutrition and detoxification    Connect with Malaysia Harrell: 

Deze weken spreken we een man die de top bestormde, Rome veroverde en het ritme van de wedstrijd dicteerde. Maar, ook werd hij na zijn knieblessures nooit meer de topspeler van daarvoor. Kevin Strootman heeft een bijzonder verhaal. Zijn carrière ging als een raket, hij werd een bepalende speler in Oranje en wist in misschien wel de mooiste stad van Europa naam te maken. En te genieten. Van Francesco Totti, Daniele de Rossi en het nachtleven van Rome.Op deze weg kwam hij genoeg spelers tegen om een uitstekende rondo mee te spelen. Maar, de realiteit gebiedt ook te zeggen dat de knieblessures die hij opliep, hem parten speelden. De vorm kwam niet terug, de bewijsdrang was er echter nog steeds. Dagenlang gymmen, om maar te laten zien hoe erg je bezig bent met fit worden. Eigenlijk wel weten dat dat niet de oplossing is. Het blijven doen, als een uitvlucht.Kevin Strootman vertelt ons een mooi verhaal. Hij reflecteert op zijn loopbaan, op zijn keuzes en op zijn gedragingen. Een mooi inkijkje in het leven van een absolute topspeler die met blessures te maken krijgt. Bovendien is Strootje een wereldgozer. Een podcast voor in de boeken.

March is a weird one. It's the start of spring, a time for new beginnings, but for host Caitlin Fisher, it's also a heavy traumaversary—marking seven years since leaving an abusive relationship. In this episode, Caitlin unpacks what healing looks like (spoiler: it's pretty messy), how trauma responses sneak into even the most mundane moments, and what it's like to be in a healthy relationship while still unlearning old survival patterns.TL;DR: Expect deep feels, a little self-compassion pep talk, and maybe even a “Wow, I thought it was just me” moment! 

Dr Bessel van der Kolk is a clinician, researcher, and teacher who has spent his professional life studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences. He specialises in translating emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop and study a range of effective treatments for traumatic stress and developmental trauma in children and adults. He is the author of the New York Times Bestseller: The Body Keeps the Score, the Founder of Trauma Center in Boston, and currently serves as President of the Trauma Research Foundation. In this conversation, we explore: — The role that neurofeedback can play in healing developmental trauma — Dr van der Kolk's study examining the effects of MDMA on PTSD — The essential difference between those who were traumatised by the 9-11 attacks and those who weren't — How developmental trauma leads to deficits in sensory integration areas of the brain and the most effective treatments for addressing this. And more. You can learn more about Dr van der Kolk's work by going to: https://traumaresearchfoundation.org/ --- Bessel van der Kolk MD spends his career studying how children and adults adapt to traumatic experiences, and has translated emerging findings from neuroscience and attachment research to develop and study a range of treatments for traumatic stress in children and adults. In 1984, he set up one of the first clinical/research centers in the US dedicated to study and treatment of traumatic stress in civilian populations, which has trained numerous researchers and clinicians specializing in the study and treatment of traumatic stress, and which has been continually funded to research the impact of traumatic stress and effective treatment interventions. He has focused on studying treatments that stabilize physiology, increase executive functioning and help traumatized individuals to feel fully alert to the present. ​ His efforts resulted in the establishment of Trauma Center (now the Trauma Research Foundation) that consisted of a well-trained clinical team specializing in the treatment of children and adults with histories of child maltreatment, that applied treatment models that are widely taught and implemented nationwide, a research lab that studied the effects of neurofeedback and MDMA on behavior, mood, and executive functioning, and numerous trainings nationwide to a variety of mental health professional, educators, parent groups, policy makers, and law enforcement personnel. --- 3 Books Dr van Der Kolk Recommends Every Therapist Should Read: — John Bowlby - Attachment and Loss - https://amzn.to/4bOd3NK — Daniel Stern - The Interpersonal World of the Infant - https://amzn.to/4e1aTf8 — Ed Tronick - The Neurobehavioral and Social-Emotional Development of Infants and Children (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology) - https://amzn.to/459qIwa

Did you know that trauma and stress don't just affect your emotions but can also be stored in your body—especially in your spine? How can we release this tension and improve our overall well-being? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Stefanik, a chiropractor at Wellness Rhythms, to explore the powerful connection between stored trauma and physical health. Drawing inspiration from The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Stefanik explains how everyday stressors and past trauma manifest physically, leading to discomfort and emotional imbalances. We dive into Network Spinal chiropractic, a gentle technique that helps release tension in the spinal cord, promoting higher energy states and better health. Dr. Stefanik also shares her journey into this integrative healing approach and emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, body awareness, and open communication for overall well-being. If you're looking for ways to release stored tension, enhance your health, and embrace a holistic approach to healing, this conversation is one you won't want to miss! --- Listen to the podcast here: Healing Trauma Through the Body with Dr. Lauren Stefaniuk Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Recently, I read a book called The Body Keeps Score, which talks a lot about the idea of all of our traumas, everything happening in our past, regardless of what it is, kind of being stored in our body, this is oftentimes things that we sometimes tend to forget about, forget about how it's continuing to impact our lives, such as continued patterns in our childhood that we kind of lived through or even other kind of more acute lived experiences that could be one car accident when you're 16 and now you're 35 so it doesn't really become something you think about in a lot of your minds. Now, there's been some study about how some of these subconscious patterns continue to emerge through some subconscious programming, but here today, I'm here to talk to you a little bit more about how the body itself keeps score, how certain parts of the body kind of retain the memories of these traumas and how it can still be impacting what we're doing today and how we're showing up in everything around. And to facilitate this conversation, I'd like to invite on my guest, Dr. Lauren Stefaniuk with Wellness Rhythms. She is a doctor of chiropractic services. ---   Dr. Lauren Stefaniuk, welcome to the program.   Hi, Stephen. Thank you so much for having me. I'm really grateful that you have this awesome podcast and that you've given me the opportunity to be on it. And, yeah, I do network spinal as a doctor of chiropractor.   We're talking about how the body keeps score, and your focus specifically is on how the spine has kind of kept score of some of these traumas or other items from our past.    Yeah. So, what we like to say is that what goes to the back of the mind tends to go to the spine and so what Network Spinal is specifically helping people realize is that there's events that happen in our life, whether you call them stressors or traumas or just stressful events, your body actually doesn't really know the difference between a massive stressor like something that we usually, quote-unquote, call “trauma,” or the small kind of everyday stressors, where we're stressing to get to work on time or we have a deadline or our dog is barking at us and we don't know why. Your nervous system actually doesn't know the difference between a massive stressor and a small stressor. It really responds in the exact same way and, sometimes, that is responding by going into fight or flight. So, when we go into fight or flight, there's a lot of things that people realize happens. So, your eyes, your pupils are going to dilate, your breath becomes a little bit more shallow and more rapid, your heart rate becomes more rapid, your muscles tense, all of those things people recognize,

In this episode, therapist, April Bordeau, explores the impact of generational patterns on mental wellbeing and relationships, specifically how mental health issues can be passed down through family lines and then explains 7 steps individuals can take to break the cycle. Breaking the cycle of generational mental health issues and dysfunctional relationships can be challenging, but it is entirely possible with conscious effort, support, and understanding. Here are 7 actionable ways to break the cycle:1. Acknowledge and Understand the Patterns2. Seek Professional Help (Therapy and Counseling)3. Set Healthy Boundaries4. Model Healthy Behaviors for the Next Generation5. Practice Self-Care and Build Emotional Resilience6. Promote Open Conversations About Mental Health/Relationship Challenges7. Focus on Healing and Forgiveness and sometimes even griefSome Final Thoughts:Generational patterns are deeply ingrained in family dynamics and can significantly impact mental wellbeing across generations. Breaking generational cycles related to mental health and dysfunctional relationships requires deep reflection, intentionality, and often, outside support. Each of these steps can be a powerful tool to start the healing process—both for yourself and for future generations.  Resources Mentioned: The Soul of Shame by Curt ThompsonThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. Follow Care to Change on Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/CaretoChange.org/Follow Care to Change on Instagram @care_to_changeSee our YouTube page hereIf you would like someone to come speak to your group about anxiety, depression or mental health, contact us for more details.If you are struggling and ready to take a step toward freedom, schedule an appt today.

In this episode, I'm joined by Linda Thai — a mental health clinician, storyteller, and educator who has had her own lived experiences of individual, collective, historical and cultural traumatization...and healing. I've interviewed many fascinating individuals in the past seven years of running The Weekend University, but there was something different about Linda. It might have something to do with her getting off the grid and living in the wilderness in Alaska, or perhaps it's the eclectic self-education she has immersed herself in. Whatever it is, Linda brings to the table a unique and holistic perspective on attachment, that I think is years ahead of the conventional wisdom. Expect to learn: — The difference between psychology, trauma-informed psychology, culturally-informed psychology, and liberation informed psychology — Where traditional attachment theory falls short — Why we need to redefine the parameters of attachment and take an ecosystem view And more. You can learn more about Linda's work and trainings at https://www.linda-thai.com/. --- Linda Thai, LMSW ERYT-200 is a trauma therapist and educator who specializes in brain and body-based modalities for addressing complex developmental trauma. Linda has worked with thousands of people from all over the world to promote mindfulness, recover from trauma, and tend to grief as a means of self care. Linda's work centers on healing with a special focus on the experiences of adult children of refugees and immigrants. Her teaching is infused with empathy, storytelling, humor, research, practical tools, applied knowledge, and experiential wisdom. She has assisted internationally renowned psychiatrist and trauma expert, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, with his private small group psychotherapy workshops aimed at healing attachment trauma. She has a Master of Social Work with an emphasis on the neurobiology of attachment and trauma. Linda has studied Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment, Havening Touch, Flash Technique, and structural dissociation of the personality, and offers the Safe and Sound Protocol, yoga, and meditation within her practice.

There are whispers of a place—an unseen archive where every thought, every decision, every soul's journey is etched into existence. Some call it the Akashic Records, an infinite library beyond time and space, containing the secrets of the past, present, and even the future.  In this episode of The Language of Love Conversation, I'm joined by Daniela Gil—an intuitive healer, psychic, and guide known as the “psychic's psychic” and “healer's healer.” She works with the Akashic Records, plant medicine, and spiritual transformation, helping people connect with their divine essence. Daniela shares her journey as a highly sensitive child, the challenges she faced with mental health and addiction, and how plant medicine helped her reclaim her gifts. We explore the healing power of sacred plants and how they deepen our connection with ourselves, Pachamama (Mother Earth), and the divine. Whether you're curious about the Akashic Records, plant medicine, or finding your path to healing, this conversation will leave you inspired. In this episode, Daniela and I explore: The Akashic Records and how they can guide us The role of Wachuma, Ayahuasca, and Dieta in spiritual healing Overcoming fear, building faith, and living in love Soul contracts, twin flames, and the deeper nature of relationships Daniela's journey from struggle to spiritual awakening The transformative power of facing death and embracing change If you're feeling drawn to Daniela's work, you can connect with her on Instagram and explore all that she offers on her website. Daniela also hosts transformative retreats in Peru, where she works with sacred plants like Wachuma and Ayahuasca to guide deep healing and spiritual growth. And if the Akashic Records intrigue you, she also offers courses and mentorship programs to help you access and understand this powerful source of wisdom. Looking for more insight?

In today's episode, we talk about unbecoming, healing, and feeling through somatics and nervous system regulation. Somatics truly is a fascinating modality; it's the language of the body, and the nervous system is the operating system of the body. When you utilize somatics effectively (which Darci dives into later - you'll love those!), your body goes back into homeostasis.Darci Burke is a dedicated nervous system regulation practitioner and somatic embodiment coach, and the founder of Holos Heal. She's always been drawn to helping people, and believes that our life experience is our greatest teacher.So often, you've been disconnected from your body, and more specifically, your nervous system. In order to experience true healing, you HAVE to involve the nervous system - this is what creates new patterns in your life. Darci and I also dive into what triggers are *actually* showing you, how destabilizing and scary big identity ‘shifts' can be (we've both experienced these), and why unbecoming is happening more and more in the second half of people's lives. In this episode, we cover:Somatics + its powerful connection to the nervous systemHow trauma shows up in the body + the importance of regulating your nervous system in a ‘slow and gentle' wayWhy trauma isn't just capital ‘T' trauma + understanding YOUR particular trauma and how to untangle itWhat triggers are *actually* showing you2 pieces that are crucial and vital for healingThe scary ‘identity crisis' that happens when you step away from an ‘outdated' version of yourself & evolve into something newWhat it means to feel safety within yourself + the concept of ‘unbecoming'Continuing to evolve, grow, and connect with your true natureBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Darci:Follow on InstagramCheck out her websiteConnect with Emily:Follow on Instagram and FacebookJoin my email listCheck out my websiteConnect with me on LinkedInResources & Links:The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkGather in Growth Sponsorship InquiryBook me as a speaker for your next eventGather in Growth podcast produced by: Jill Carr PodcastingMentioned in this episode:Speaker Inquiry: Shoot me an email at emilyreuschel@gmail.com or click below to book a call to get started!

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 714 Are you stuck in a story that no longer serves you? Ben Stewart, Filmmaker + Producer of the Psychedelica series, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 714, to reveal how our personal and collective narratives shape our reality, why language is the invisible thread holding every belief and value together, how ancient mythology set the stage for our modern world, and why true awakening comes from recognizing the power we have to rewrite our story. "Reality is a story. It's an evolving story, and it's a love story. It's a story of allurement, where all the pieces are looking in this evolutionary ladder. It's looking for ever greater wholeness and intimacy with itself. It's God putting itself back together." - Ben Stewart

Breaking Free: How to Get Unstuck from Trauma and Reclaim Your Life   In this milestone 52nd episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis discuss one of the most challenging aspects of healing—getting stuck in trauma. Many individuals feel trapped in past experiences, unable to move forward despite years of therapy or self-help efforts. Trauma is not logical; it bypasses rational thought and gets stored in the body, often resurfacing in fight, flight, or freeze responses.   This episode delves into the neuroscience behind trauma, explaining implicit vs. explicit memories, generational trauma, and learned helplessness. Dr. Skinner and MaryAnn explore why people remain stuck and share proven strategies for processing and releasing trauma through evidence-based therapies. They emphasize the importance of body-based approaches, neuroplasticity, and the hope that real healing is possible.   Listeners will also hear about the Human Intimacy Conference (March 14-15, 2025), featuring leading experts in the field.

"It doesn't take money to make money, it takes relationships and ideas. It takes value and exchange. So if you think you have a money problem, it's not really a money problem. It's a mental capital problem, which means ideas, knowledge, wisdom, insights, strategies, and tools." - Garrett Gunderson Value Creation "Money is a byproduct of value creation.
