Podcasts about body keeps score

Is it perimenopause, or is your body holding onto unprocessed trauma? In this episode, we dive deep into the symptoms of perimenopause and how unresolved trauma can mimic or even worsen them. You'll learn how trauma blocks healing, increases inflammation, and keeps you stuck in cycles of exhaustion, mood swings, and discomfort. If you've ever felt like doctors brush off your symptoms, or you're struggling to find real relief—this episode is for you.

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,

✨ Generational trauma lives in your body, affecting your physical health, emotions, and overall well-being. Chronic pain, tension, and illness aren't just random—they're signs of unresolved ancestral wounds.

Hey Hey! In this week's episode of Just For Today, I, Steph Grainger, therapeutic mentor, delve into the profound connection between our bodies and the unconscious mind.Join me as I explore the concept of secondary gain—where the unconscious mind finds more to gain from not healing than from healing.

Hello beautiful souls! World renowned trauma therapist, Dr. Frank Anderson, worked alongside Bessel van der Kolk (author of The Body Keeps Score) for years, only to find he hadn't worked through his own trauma and that he didn't know how to allow himself to be loved. Today, he talks about how he came home to himself. In To Be Loved, Dr. Frank Anderson shares his confusing experience of growing up an outsider in a typical, midwestern Italian American home that was - at one turn - fiercely loving but at the same time unaccepting, abusive, and rife with secrets. After enduring six years of therapy as a child in the 1970s, he was programmed to be something that he wasn't for decades and became driven to create the perfect life- complete with a family, a successful career and a house with white picket fence in the suburbs- until it all fell apart. It was only then that he realized resilience, forgiveness and facing his trauma were the keys to living an authentic life-and finally knowing what it feels like to be loved.

When life handed Mo lemons, he didn't just make lemonade—he started a lemonade movement. At the heart of our latest conversation is Mo's story of transition from a finance background to becoming a beacon for peer mentorship. As we sit down together, Mo, a pivotal figure in the Entrepreneurs Organization, shares the twists and turns of his journey that highlight the transformative power of community and connection. Through our dialogue, we celebrate the significance of creating spaces where vulnerability isn't just accepted; it's encouraged. Every one of us has a tale of struggle and triumph, and this episode isn't shy about exploring those narratives. I recount my evolution from an introverted individual to a confident facilitator, a metamorphosis that resonates with many who have grappled with financial worries and the desire for parental pride. We weave in the pioneering insights of Brené Brown and the profound messages from "The Body Keeps Score," emphasizing the cathartic release that comes from speaking our truths. And as we delve into the genesis of the International Facilitators Organization, we underscore the shared joy found in a community that champions self-improvement and transparent communication. Finally, we cast a light on the expansive reach of peer mentorship, illustrating its impact in not just corporate settings but also in the personal spheres of our lives. From supporting college students to nurturing spouses and empowering minority groups within global corporations, the stories shared exhibit the versatility and depth of connection that peer groups foster. We dissect the key ingredients that make peer groups effective—professional facilitation, a no-advice policy, and a foundation of vulnerability. Join us for a heart-to-heart that may just spark a new chapter in your own quest for connection and growth.

  "2023 Reflections and the Path to Inspired Action in 2024   Welcome to the 2024 season of the Inspired Action Live podcast! I'm your host, Karen Baldridge, and I'm thrilled to kick off this season with a deep reflection on the transformative journey of 2023 and the insights gained as we enter the new year. In today's episode, we'll explore the profound shifts, personal growth, and the wisdom gained during a year of stillness and introspection. Join me as we delve into the nuances of inspired action, the impact of energy on reality, and the importance of aligning with your unique purpose. *Big Ideas:* 1. **The Energetic Influence of 2023:**    - 2023 was a year of stillness and introspection, as indicated by various spiritual and astrological insights.    - The significance of pausing, reflecting on one's current state, and considering the direction for personal growth. 2. **Navigating Ego-Driven Action:**    - The challenge of distinguishing between inspired action and ego-driven action.    - The realization that forcing action without alignment with one's purpose can lead to resistance and struggle. 3. **Navigating Loss and Transition:**    - Personal experiences, including the loss of a loved one, brought about significant shifts in priorities and energy.    - The impact of external events on the ability to focus and invest energy in meaningful ways. 4. **Recognizing Energetic Alignment:**    - The importance of flow and alignment in determining the appropriateness of a particular action.    - Observations on how ease and excitement accompany actions that are in energetic alignment. 5. **Lessons from Emotional Chaos:**    - Uncovering deeper emotions and insecurities during periods of stillness.    - The body's role in keeping score of unresolved emotions and the necessity of addressing them for holistic well-being. 6. **Transitioning to Feminine Energy:**    - The power of embracing receptive and feminine energy after periods of intense action.    - Allowing oneself to "be" and engaging in self-care, information gathering, and personal projects. 7. **Overcoming Programmed Beliefs:**    - The impact of societal, familial, and personal programming on one's beliefs and realities.    - The necessity of examining and challenging programmed beliefs to create a more authentic reality. 8. **Shift in Thought Patterns:**    - The importance of language and thoughts in shaping one's reality.    - Recognizing and changing negative thought patterns to align with a more positive and empowering reality.   BEST QUOTES! 1. "There were so many huge things that came out of 2023 for me personally. I don't know about you, but I know that a lot of people who follow horoscopes or things like that... knew this was going to be a year of stillness, introspection, and reflection." 2. "When you start acting on an idea that maybe isn't at your highest purpose, or isn't going to bring about the highest level of purpose that you were meant to on this earth, then all of a sudden, things stop flowing." 3. "It was going to be one of those years where there was going to be a great deal of pausing and reflecting as to where you are now and where you want to go instead of action, action, action." 4. "If it doesn't flow, let it go. If something is not supposed to happen, all of a sudden, it will feel like you are walking through cement. It gets hard." 5. "When something is not supposed to happen, all of a sudden, it will feel like you are walking through cement. It gets hard. It's like an uphill battle, and it's a different kind of hard." 6. "Trust the process, meaning that you have done the work when it was appropriate to do the work. Inspired action is when it flows through you like a download, not just coming from something that existed before." 7. "Your thoughts, feelings, and words—they're like a whole cohesive system. If you aren't absolutely vigilant about changing your thoughts and recognizing programming when you see it, all the things that you are programmed with, you will attract everyone else's beliefs." 8. "Language doesn't just describe reality, it creates the reality that it describes. Your words and your thoughts become things." 9. "You don't survive the game of life because everybody has to meet their end. It's adventure versus preventing disaster. If you believe that all things work out for you, everything is meant for you and will not happen to you, your decisions will change." Feel free to use these quotes to create a catchy title for the podcast episode or to highlight key points in your promotional materials. *Conclusion:* As we step into 2024, the focus shifts towards inspired action and navigating the energetic currents of this new season. Join me in the next episode as we explore the concept of adventure, the power of beliefs, and the influence of language on creating a reality filled with purpose and fulfillment. Until then, may this reflection on 2023 inspire you on your own journey of growth and transformation.   **Join The Experience Project's New Program: "The Game of Life"** Don't Miss This Opportunity to Change THE GAME OF LIFE for you in 2024!!  For Real....

One of the best things we can do for ourselves is dig deep and uncover why we do what we do. This work is an intentional act that takes getting to know yourself, releasing connections to things that do not serve us, and choosing the energy and practices we want to grow through. An unhealed life often feels like an overwhelming sense of danger, powerlessness, and fear. Healing creates safety and empowers self-authority.  And yet, the question always is: how do we get there? I sat down with Dr. Jane Tornatore to talk about the “how.” She and I share our best-used tools for healing in a fantastic conversation that will leave you with many starting points and excellent practices and tools you can try right now to create or move you forward in your journey.

Curiosity's role 10:40 Waiting until the end of the movie –a new perspective of feelings 12:20 Using your experiences as evidence to help you through moments and emotions 14:25 Separating our brains from our bodies is a limiting belief 16:12 A Tool: How does this feel in my body? 17:10 Intuitive wisdom and self-trust 25:15 Our thought habits change when we deal with them: the how 27:09 Witnessing your younger self 32:00 Your body holds on to trauma as a form of safety and protection 33:51 A Tool: Somatic shaking 35:44 A Tool: Ocean breath 40:10 A Tool: Is this story I want to feed? 44:45 A Tool: Replace the word “feel” with the word “control” 50:04 A Tool: “Hello, Gorgeous!” 55:01 Dr. Jane's 3 gratitude  I hope you are inspired to take your self-journey to the next level!

Meet Chele Roland, the whistleblower who exposed the International Churches of Christ for decades of abuse cover-ups. After podcasting about her own abuse on WhaTheFlok podcast, Chele began getting all kinds of messages from survivors of abuse from the International Churches of Christ. The ICOC/ICC, known as "The Boston Movement," put a huge emphasis on recruiting "disciples" who were personally responsible for producing large numbers of converts to Christianity.The rules were very strict and Chele was one of the people responsible for producing converts. Her story of sexual abuse is tied to the ICOC/ICC and her conditioning kept her silent for years. After reaching out to over sixty church leaders and not receiving a single response, Chele decided to lead the way for other survivors to seek justice and stop the abuses that are still happening. Chele's story is one of courage and honor. We were so glad to have her share her story!Chele's YouTube channel and podcast, WhaTheFlok: @whatheflokcultsurvivalstor6528 https://www.whatheflok.com/*Book Chele suggests for survivors of sexual abuse:The Body Keeps Score by Vessel Van Der Kolk MDFree2b non profit for survivors to have access to resources and therapy, etc: Free2b.nonprofit@gmail.comIG: @Free2bJimmy's book, The Devil Inside: How My Minister Father Molested Kids In Our Home and Church for Decades and How I Finally Stopped Him https://www.amazon.com/dp/1950948617/ref=cm_sw_su_dpSupport us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/SpeakingOutFind us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/jimmyhintonauthorhttps://www.facebook.com/SilentGriefSupportAnd Twitter:https://twitter.com/JimmyHinton12https://twitter.com/clarahintonIntro--Film Glitch by Snowflake (c) copyright 2017 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/snowflake/56350 Ft: reusenoiseOutro--I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/ramblinglibrarian/41284

This week on Grieving Insomniacs we discuss how the body remembers our grief even when we don't want to. The connection between the mind, heart, and gut affects how we experience our grief and how we cope with our grief. Much of the information in this episode comes from the book The Body Keeps Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk M.D. According to Dr. Van Der Kolk our mind, gut, and heart are connected via the pneumogastric nerve. The pneumogastric nerve is involved in the expression and management of emotions in humans and animals. This means our emotions are felt viscerally and people will do anything to escape these visceral feelings." Grief is visceral meaning that it involves body expression along with cognitive expression of emotion. Listen as we discuss how the body remembers our grief. Biography: I was living the average life. I was married with two children working in a profession that I loved. On June 19. 2011 that life was destroyed and I became another person. My oldest son died unexpectedly. My son did not die from cancer. Chemotherapy killed him. It is a common experience, but I didn't know that then. I thought that chemotherapy was going to save him. Almost immediately I felt betrayed by my profession because I was a counselor. I should have known how to handle his death. The loneliness started almost immediately. I felt so alone. I stopped sleeping and the people around me began to disappear. I knew I need community. 10 years later I am finally in a place where I am trying to build the community that I so desperately needed when Christopher first died. We can't change that our children died, but we can help each other through it. Join me in creating a community for grieving mothers to share our stories with each other creating a sacred space for authentic grieving. It is my mission for the podcast to provide grieving mothers everywhere a safe, sacred space where their grief is accepted. It is through the podcast that the culture of silence that surrounds the grief of the mother will be dismantled, and a culture of support will be created. It is our vision to create a community where we can share our questions, and concerns, and support each other. I am here and I am listening. I am honored to hear your story. https://wordpress.com/view/grievinginsomniacs.wordpress.com It is our hope that you will like and subscribe to get regular updates on our show.

Our body remembers everything we've been through, even if it's not in our conscious mind.    This week, Lisa is joined by Licensed Masters Social Worker and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist, Chelsey Valeri, for an episode on acknowledging and properly treating our trauma. Listen as they discuss the importance of stabilizing ourselves and recognizing what triggers our fight, flight, freeze, and collapse, so that we can navigate through our automatic responses, and learn to live a stress free life!   This episode is a reminder that we don't have to continue re-traumatizing ourselves by having one foot in the past and one in the present. Therapy can teach us what "safety" really feels like so that we can heal from the inside out.   To learn more about Lisa and Just Go F Yourself visit www.justgofyourself.com.

Every single day you receive messages from your body, some messages are louder than others. Have you ever heard them? The only way in which your body can communicate with you is through symptoms, these are the messages from your body. The human body spends its entire life trying to stay in balance, this is what we call homeostasis. When your body is out of balance you will experience symptoms while the body tries to re-balance itself again. If you don't listen to the messages and the situation doesn't change your symptoms will get worse and worse until you have no choice except to stop and make change (or you die!) As women go through their menopause transition, they often start to experience new symptoms that appear to come out of nowhere. They haven't come from nowhere and they are not caused by your hormones. In fact, hormones are simply messengers that pass messages between different cells in your body. Your reproductive hormones are quite protective and as these hormone levels come down you start to lose some of the protection these hormones provided you and symptoms start to be more evident. The symptoms aren't new, they are simply more evident now that the protection offered by oestrogen and progesterone is being diminished. Some of the common messages that occur in the menopause transition are: Joint pain, which is inflammation mainly caused by food choices Hot flushes caused by general stress and liver stress Weight gain caused by stress or insulin resistance (due to food choices) There is an underlying cause for every symptom that you are experiencing, and stress generally is playing a significant role. So what can you do? Stop and listen to your body rather than mask with pills. Don't think that you are broken, you aren't. Your body is simply trying to bring itself back to balance. Process any past trauma(s) Respond by eating the right food for your body, move your body the way that feels best, reduce your exposure to environmental toxins, reduce stressful situations in your life and change your mindset around ageing and menopause. The books that I mentioned in the podcast were The Body Keeps Score by Bessel Van der Kolk The Secret Language of Your Body by Inna Segal You Can Heal Your life by Louise Hay If you want to learn more about what is happening to your body as you move through your menopause transition and more importantly the steps that you can take to navigate menopause with ease then join me for the free 5 Day Secret to Thriving in Menopause Workshop.

This week I refer to the book 'The Body Keeps Score' to look at how emotional trauma can affect the human body - how traumatic experiences can manifest in aches and pains as we try to deal with emotional conflicts.

In this episode, I share about a deep somatic healing experience I had. It's an example of the wisdom of our body but also how we are often so unconscious of what we carry in our cells.

“I'm there, standing my ground, and making a difference in the people's lives that I love.” — Becca MacLean  Becca MacLean has already joined us for episode 60 where she talked about her son. In this episode, she opens up about what it's like to be a parent with a child facing mental illness.  Becca describes parenting as a competitive sport. One of the main reasons why she wants to rip the bandaid off and let people hear her story is, that she felt alone during the process and did not find a lot of people talking about it, from a parent's point of view.  Becca share's from experience that if you are a parent with a child who struggles, it is crucial to educate yourself on the matter. Becca also shares their encounters with the mental health system where certain limitations hindered them from getting the treatment that they needed to support the healing process. She says that “It's a survival, sort of, let's get everybody through this moment but not through the entire experience of mental health”.  For all those out there touched by mental illness know that you are not alone!   Wellness Nuggets:   ●       Those who suffer from illnesses might find it difficult to change. ●       Be the best advocate for your children and trust your intuition ●       Book recommendation: “The Body Keeps Score”   We invite you to ignite the Wellness Warrior in YOU!   About the Guest: (bio, personal links, resource links)   Website:https://www.divadesign.ca/ ( https://www.divadesign.ca/) Facebook (Business): https://www.facebook.com/divadesign.ca ( https://www.facebook.com/divadesign.ca) LinkedIn:https://ca.linkedin.com/in/rebecccazgmaclean ( https://ca.linkedin.com/in/rebecccazgmaclean) Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/divadesign.ca/ ( https://www.instagram.com/divadesign.ca/)   Bio Becca is a mother of four amazing humans and is an adventure-loving-story-teller.

Reesie Sims was still a college student when she began working with trauma victims at the Ohio State organization It's Abuse. She decided to make it her life's work by moving to Washington D.C. to work at the https://www.rainn.org (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) and becoming a licensed therapist before starting her current role at https://www.nvrdc.org/ (Network for Victim Recovery of DC (NVRDC)). On this week's episode of TraumaTies, host Bridgette Stumpf, Executive Director at https://www.nvrdc.org/ (NVRDC), discusses trauma and recovery with Reesie, who serves as the Therapeutic Services Manager at NVRDC. Reesie is responsible for leading support groups for trauma survivors and works individually with crisis and short-term clients.   This episode explores the power of therapy, the importance of differentiating between stress and trauma, and the need for more compassion.  Featured GuestName: https://www.nvrdc.org/bios/#reesie (Reesie Sims) What she does: As the Therapeutic Services Manager at NVRDC, Reesie is in charge of daily operations and activities for the Therapeutic Services Program. Reesie manages a caseload of crisis and short-term therapy clients, runs support groups for survivors, and gives clients the tools they need to make the best decisions for their own mental health.  Company: https://www.nvrdc.org/ (Network for Victim Recovery of DC) Episode Highlights[07:14] Individual realities: Reesie explains that two people might respond to an event very differently because everyone's ability to manage emotional responses is unique, just like any other aspect of their personality.  [13:10] Brain function: Traumatic experiences can change the brain, overwhelming its ability to process information, which can cause the traumatic memory to get “stuck” at the forefront of the brain, says Reesie. [18:24] Long-term implications: Reesie affirms that the lasting effects of traumatic experiences can present themselves both psychologically and physically. [22:03] Knowing the signs: Being compassionate with everyone in our daily lives is essential, especially if the person is a trauma survivor. To gauge whether someone is experiencing a past or perceived trauma in the moment, Reesie says to pay attention to body language and focus on “listening to hear and not listening to respond.”  [23:34] Stress v. trauma: According to Reesie, stress is more of an immediate response, while the long-term stress of responding to a disturbing event can mutate into trauma.  [33:50] Empowerment: Reesie strives to help the survivors she works with feel as empowered as possible. This is partially achieved by creating a safe space to share about their experience if and when they want.  [38:34] Book recs: Reesie recommends a few books — “https://www.routledge.com/The-Body-Bears-the-Burden-Trauma-Dissociation-and-Disease/Scaer/p/book/9780415641524 (The Body Bears the Burden),” “https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score (The Body Keeps Score),” and “https://www.tarabrach.com/truerefuge/ (True Refuge)” — for people wishing to become more informed about their own trauma or that of a loved one.

Now is always a good time to talk about anxiety. Although we're feeling okay presently, we know that the wonderful adventure of parenthood will also come with many challenges that will test our relationship with ourselves and one another. Enter Dr. Ellen Vora. Dr. Vora is a holistic psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root. Dr. Vora received her B.A. from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University, and she is board-certified in psychiatry and integrative holistic medicine. More than 40 million Americans suffer from anxiety in any given year, a number that has only increased as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. We've long thought of anxiety as a “neck up” problem—a problem of brain chemistry and psychology, but now in The ANATOMY OF ANXIETY: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response, acclaimed psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora offers nothing less than a paradigm shift in the way we understand anxiety and mental health. Vora suggests that the symptoms of anxiety are frequently the result of physical imbalance—that is, anxiety is a whole-body condition, not simply a brain condition. In the same way that Bessel van der Kolk's bestselling The Body Keeps Score changed how we understand trauma, The Anatomy of Anxiety will transform our understanding of anxiety. The good news is that this body-based anxiety is treatable—simple solutions include: getting our circadian rhythm back on track; limiting caffeine, and becoming aware of blood sugar and its contribution to “hanxiety.”Connect with Dr. Ellen Vorahttps://ellenvora.comIG: @EllenVoraMDhttps://www.instagram.com/ellenvoramd/YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiVEkdGfZmvqfBcPvF9EvJA/videosDr. Vora offers a ton of resources!!! https://ellenvora.com/resources/Get her book, The ANATOMY OF ANXIETY: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Responsehttps://ellenvora.com/book/Thanks to our friends at ADT for making it possible for us to share these stories in a safe and secure place, At Home. https://www.adt.com/AtHomeText 310-496-8667 with your questions for #AtHomePodcast !If you've enjoyed this podcast, please subscribe, rate and share with a friend!

Trauma – whether emotional, physical or psychological – we've all experienced it at some points of our lives – some more traumatic than others. And whether it's left you struggling with upset emotions and memories, or feeling numb and disconnected – we can heal from it.   In this week's episode, we explore acupuncture as a modality for healing from emotional and physical trauma with Carine Camara – Acupuncturist, Energy Healer and Spiritual Wellness Coach.  During our conversation Carine shares her personal experiences of trauma and the ways it manifested in her body, including ovarian cysts, and how the use of acupuncture as an alternative to surgery created a pathway of healing and becoming a healer.In this episode we discuss:What acupuncture is and how it worksHow emotions and trauma get lodged in the body and can affect our physical healthForgiveness as a source of overcoming emotional and physical trauma What it's like working with an energy healer Ways to work on emotional trauma that is stored in the pelvic regionUnravelling and undoing stories that no longer serve us in order to learn how to love ourselvesWhat it feels like to heal and be able to let go of emotional pain Using the Hawaiian Ho'oponopono prayer to facilitate forgivenessWhat's in Carine's wellness toolkit…and more! Content Warning: This interview includes sensitive content that may be triggering, including, but not limited to suicide ideation, sexual assault and sexual abuse.How you can connect with Carine Camara:Website https://carinecamara.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/carinejcamara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carinehealingInfinite Love Podcast: https://carinecamara.com/infinite-love-podcast/RESOURCES MENTIONED:The Empath's Survival Guide by Judith Olaf, MD Heal Your Body by Louise HayAnatomy of the Spirit by Carolyn Myss JOIN THE SISTA CIRCLE COMMUNITYSubscribe to The Sista Circle Podcast:Apple PodcastsGoogle PodcastsSpotifyStitcherFollow The Sista Circle Podcast:IG: @thesistacirclepodcastFacebook: @thesistacirclepodcastYouTube: The Sista Circle Podcast  Subscribe to The Sista Circle Podcast Mailing List: HereBuy Me a Coffee (Support the Show): HereSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sistacirclepod)

Today we are talking about a vulnerable topic that we've either gone through, or are afraid to go through. Grief. Grief doesn't always have to be about losing a loved one though. As a mother, I grieved for YEARS the loss of my previous life and the woman I was. Trying so hard to stay present, grateful and look forward to the woman I was becoming. But I missed my past world and I couldn't move forward. Amber has an incredibly difficult story about losing her father at a young age and how she felt stuck in her grief as well. I loved her children's story, "When Grey Came to Stay" about honoring one's grief and how although it may never go away, there are ways to work with it and move towards the light. I also believe that keeping that person, memory, experience, or past identity close to your heart is actually healthy- to not ignore or be afraid to remember it simply because it's not physically with you in the present moment. We hope you enjoy today's episode and how you can allow grief to be a part of you, thrive with it, honor what you're grieving, but also move forward in your life. Please share this episode with anyone special in your life, and we thank you for listening. Get to know Amber! Amber lives with her family in a small town in Ontario with her amazing husband, 2 dogs and 3 wonderful, crazy and wild children. She's not your Pinterest worthy mom, she's a proud introvert and would do life outside if she could. Except when it's cold! Amber's dad was killed in a farming accident when she was 17 and she attempted to navigate this insane world of grief ever since. This year she finally had enough of being frustrated with grief resources and wrote a children's book about grief based on her own experience. It's been a vulnerable and slightly terrifying journey but Amber has absolutely loved working towards a more grief inclusive society. She also recently just launched her own line of sympathy cards. You can get to know more about Amber on her website, and purchase your copy of "When Grey Came to Stay" here: www.amberskuipers.com You can also find her on Instagram (@amberskuipers) where she shares more of her daily life with grief but also her crazy life as a mom. Amber's sympathy cards will be available shortly but for now they are for purchase at JustOne, an incredible little store in Caledonia. Today's Mom Card: "Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong." -Ella Fitzgerald Amber's Favorite Things: Dill Pickle Peanuts from Costco (I can't wait to see if my Costco has these!!!)

Interns, Interns, Interns! This session might sting a little. The doctors are discussing the way pain can be used to validate an experience and the suffering we cause ourselves by doing this.

Join Amy Taylor-Kabbaz as she talks intimately to one of her long time friends about how the body keeps the score and trauma that shows up and often rises in Motherhood, especially in the 4th Trimester and beyond. Claire lives and breathes her very mission. Living a life in alignment, inner attunement and embodied transformation through simple, powerful, potent tools coupled with my wisdom-filled guidance. Join us in conversation about: Her own definition and embodied way of surrendering and life events that allow us to surrender in a way unlike any other. Emergency cycles as a natural way of handling trauma and how support for individuals to process trauma has been somewhat falsified in order to release properly. Flashbacks and judgements from the past and how that presents itself post-partum. Irritation as a sign of invitation, that there's something still in your body that needs to be processed. The spaciousness to share, absorb and discover within this conversation demonstrates a dynamic between Claire and Amy that feels like coming home. You are left wanting to know more - yet feeling like you've just heard all you need in this very moment.

Let's talk trauma baby! Jessica B. is unpacking a little of what she is learning about trauma and the effects. Basically, we are all running on the hamster wheel of trauma. Does that sound disheartening?    It doesn't have to be! Getting through to the other side of trauma has so much freedom! So put your earbuds in and listen in! Jessica discussed the idea that yelling at kids can be as harmful as physical abuse. She learned this concept in The Babysitter: My Summers With a Serial Killer, by Liza Rodman.

As an entrepreneur, it can be challenging to take a break. You are constantly thinking about how to grow your business and the workload. Becoming an entrepreneur can become overwhelming at times. Trust me, and I know this first hand. It's easy to neglect yourself and your well-being because you become consumed in the pursuit of success. Although taking a break may seem like the last thing you can do right now, it is crucial to getting work done effectively and success as an entrepreneur.  Today we are chatting with my personal friend Sarah Dawn, attorney and business coach, and consultant. After building her business, Sarah found herself prioritizing work over everything else she cared about. She wasn't giving herself the rest or intentional care she needed, which ultimately led her to become burnt out.  Not taking a break and being there every day for your business is what entrepreneurship looks like to many people, but here's the truth. Most people don't want that lifestyle. Of course, as an entrepreneur, you need to put the work in, but you don't have to put yourself in this position of working 20+ hours every day to be successful. In today's episode, Sarah will be chatting about how she was able to re-learn what works best for her and let herself enjoy everything she created professionally by taking a break from her business.  Highlights from this episode: Who is Sarah Dawn and the business she created  What ultimately led her to take a break from her business  How she prevented herself from hitting that breaking point most entrepreneurs experience  Making the appropriate shifts in her life and putting herself first  Why entrepreneurship can be the best career choice for women  Reaching her own conclusions Best piece of business advice ever received  Thanks for listening to today's episode.

Sermon by the Rev. Jarrett Kerbel for the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 19.Today's readings are:Wisdom 7:26-8:1 Psalm 116:1-8 James 3:1-12 Mark 8:27-38 Readings may be found on LectionaryPage.net https://www.lectionarypage.net/YearB_RCL/Pentecost/BProp19_RCL.htmlTranscript: Transcript: Please join me in the spirit of prayer. Gracious God, I turn to you in gratitude and thanksgiving, knowing that when the cords of death entangle us, when grief and sorrow are on us, that you are there, that any forsaken place you will find us, any place of being lost and alone, you have been there. I give you thanks that your grace surrounds such pain with hope in new life. In Christ's name, Amen. I feel like with everything Tyrone taught us, I should sing my sermon this morning. Of course, nobody wants that. I want to recommend a book to you all…a book called The Body Keeps Score. It's a wonderful book that explores how post-traumatic stress gets lodged in our bodies, that all those terrible events of our lives that were painful and raw and hurtful actually persist in us long past when we may have cognitively remembered them, and that they're prone to emerge later in reactions we can't quite understand or depression from trying to keep those feelings at bay. I strongly recommend this book: The Body Keeps Score. I can give a very quick real-life example of this phenomenon of traumatic stress rearing up when you didn't expect it. Some of you know that in the last two years of high school and the first two years of college my son Tim gave my wife and I a run for our money. Lots of crises. Crisis after crisis concerning his addictions, and they were stressful and hard and difficult times. We've had two peaceful years of recovery and we thought we were past it. Then on one very kind of rainy wet day this summer, with the flood warnings in effect and the stream really high, my son set off to fish. Later that day we got a call from my daughter Martha. “Hey, Tim was supposed to pick me up from work. Where is he?” Allison and I went into full alert. (Allison is my wife if you don't know.) We are on both of our cell phones at the same time, texting, calling, calling friends, emailing, pacing up and down our house with our hands on our head, our pulse racing, our breath short, and we're being curt and tense with each other. Luckily he emerged some hours later and was safe and sound. Allison and I took a deep breath and we looked at each other and said “Where did that come from? We must not be over this yet.” We had a good look at how the trauma was still in us, the anxiety and stress just ready to pop at the next occasion that seemed like a crisis from the past. I tell you this story about how the body keeps score because for me it indicates the level of work Jesus is announcing in the gospel. The level of work Jesus is announcing of the gospel isn't just notional or cognitive, it's on the deepest level of our human experiences, the places where we often times do not want to go. Jesus's Messiahship will not be as expected, will not be full of power and success and parades and palaces and princesses. It won't be the glory of military victory. It will be ignominious defeat on a cross, because Jesus has to go to that place to surround with God's love and compassion and attention. All of the most alienated parts of our humanity, God has to go to those places we wish not to go, to overcome them with the hope of the Resurrection. That's the good news I want to cling to. It is the good news I cling to daily, but with the 20th anniversary of September 11th being yesterday, I believe it's a good news we need to hear for our own savior, for the sake of those we love, because I am sure some of you and some of the people you love are carrying in their bodies the score of that day, the horror, the fear, the panic, the worry, the anger, the powerlessness, the shame. Some of us had friends in lower Manhattan. Some of us had family there. Some of us had friends in the towers, or acquaintances, or knew people flying that day, knew people in the Pentagon. And if we take a deep breath we can feel those feelings under the surface of that day. Our spiritual work is to wrap that pain in the compassion and love of Christ, who knows all of it, and lives in that place eternally in love and hope and healing. For me, Jesus is the ultimate body who keeps the score. In this Messiahship he describes in the gospel, he's describing how he has to take on the suffering of humanity - all humanity from day one to the end of time - in his body. All the alienation, the anger, the hostility, the rage, the shame, the rejection, he takes on for us so that he can overcome it with love and hope and new life. And that is what we cling to when we enter these painful spaces. This truth about Jesus is not just an individual truth. It's not just the pastoral need of us who suffer an anniversary or the needs of our families and friends suffering with us. It's also a larger corporate need because Jesus is not just an individual human on the cross, he is corporate humanity in the biggest sense. Plural humanity. I heard a story that reminded me of this fact, a story of healing a new life that to me is the epitome of what I'm saying. The Diocese of Pennsylvania is involved in a ministry at the Veterans Affairs Hospital here in Philadelphia, and the ministry is a ministry to soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan who are suffering from what's called moral injury. We know that in warfare we can suffer psychic injury, we can suffer physical injury and now we know we can suffer moral injury. If only I had this language I would have understood my uncles who went to World War 2, Korea and Vietnam. But here at the V.A, we work with soldiers who are working through this pain, this oppressive pain that they carry. Part of what they do is they present their story to an assembly of friends and fellow veterans and church people and they tell us what happened, and I've heard the story of one particular person I'll call Andy. Andy was a young man at the time of 9/11 and to honor his grandfather who served in World War 2, he joined the military soon after that day, and he was deployed to Iraq. On one of his patrols, his patrol took fire from a building. They hunkered down and called in an air strike and moments later the building was reduced to rubble. His unit moved into the rubble to search and discovered there was no gunman. There were no guns; no gunmen; no ammunition; no weapons. There was a family. Multi-generations of a family now dead. This was Andy's moral injury, something he could not erase from his conscience. Something that worked against all of his commitments. Something that broke his heart. Something he struggled with mightily to find relief and forgiveness for years after his service. He told this story to the assembly with great emotion and then the assembled gathered around Andy and recited some words written for the occasion. The group said “Andy, we (Key word: We) are sorry. It is because of our choices that you were put in that impossible situation. It was because of our choices you are morally injured this way, and we take responsibility and beg your forgiveness.” It was a healing moment, a healing moment of corporate responsibility. Joint shared responsibilities finally acknowledging that the shame this man felt was something we all shared and put on. I see the story of our Christ, our messiah, in this story, where the body of Christ finally is taking this pain into itself, not denying it, not ignoring it, not putting it away, but turning into it with love and compassion that leads to life renewed. Connection renewed. Souls saved and restored. This to me is the mission of the body of Christ, formed by Christ when we live out this mission. I have one final challenging place to go with you all this morning, because there's a bigger picture here. We've looked at compassion to the individual who suffers, we've looked at the community rallying around someone who suffers. We need to look at the global presence of the messiah who suffers. One of the most striking and difficult things for me as we have observed the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and 20 years of warfare is the death toll. 929,000 people have died in the last 20 years in Afghanistan; in Iraq and Syria and Yemen. That number is almost too big to grasp. Humans notoriously have a hard time relating emotionally to large numbers, but I have to ask myself “How do I live with this death toll as I try to live a life before God? How do I live with this? What do I do with it as I live with my suffering messiah?” The first thing I can say that causes me some gratitude in the midst of the entangled grief is that thank God, that God can love that many people, because I know I cannot. But I know that God's love treats each one of those people as a child of God, and the vast majority of them were civilians: women and children and non-combatants. This was a slaughter bigger than the American Civil War and I need to know that my suffering messiah can teach my heart, hardened by nationalism, hardened by parochialism, by all the limitations of my place and time. Our suffering messiah can teach me that God's love extends to all those people; that they are human beings that are infinitely valuable to God, and arriving at that deep inner knowledge, that wisdom, I can only believe that we need to find another way. That living before God we cannot endorse such slaughter. That living unashamed of our association with Jesus, we cannot endorse such massive killing. We must at least sit in the pain and ask ourselves what can be done differently for the sake of the one we follow. Amen.

In this episode, the gang goes through a whirlwind of topics and pent up energy after not recording for a couple weeks. Highs & lows in the intro turned into a conversation about drugs which turned into a conversation about mental health (jump to 16:08 for the discussion on panic attacks and techniques to end them). In “I Did Something Weird Last Night”, the entirely WEIRD choices made by OnlyFans this week (unfortunately, we recorded before they walked back their decision to maintain their current business structure) (27:51). Then the topic of what to do when your current partner and an ex are suddenly in the same time and place (33:27) and how to best address that (39:15). Finally, they wrap things up with a VERY contentious f*ck-marry-kill (46:55).NEW EPISODES DROP EVERY MONDAY!For listener submissions and booking contact keepyourselfwarmpod@gmail.comFind us on Apple PodcastsFind us on SpotifyFind us on Google PodcastsFind us on YouTubeInstagramTwitter

I am your host, Alyssa Scolari and we have here with us today. Jeanne Mahoney. This is going to be a good episode. I know I say that all the time, but we have just had some incredible guests on. So, Jeanne has a unique skillset as she has promoted health and healing across the lifespan of all ages and types of people in many different settings. As an RN, educator, and therapist. She is a lifelong horse woman who is living her dream of being able to share with others the healing power of horses and began practicing equine assisted psychotherapy in 2006 using the EAGALA model. Jeanne has been a PATH instructor for over 15 years. She has many fortes and specializes in working with people dealing with addictions, family and couples therapy, grief and loss, veterans, and women's issues. Hi Jeanne. Thank you for being here today. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:01:55] Oh, I'm so excited to be here. Alyssa Scolari: [00:01:57] This is one of my favorite topics because I believe so much in the healing power of horses. So I honestly, I'm honored to have you here today and very thankful for the work that you do. So. You started out as an RN. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:02:20] I did. Alyssa Scolari: [00:02:21] Okay. So can you talk a little bit about the path that led you to equine therapy? Jeanne Mahoney: [00:02:29] Yes, I can. So, where to begin? Alyssa Scolari: [00:02:36] It's a loaded question. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:02:37] It really is. I have a few stories I am going to tell you about that. I did have a lot of trauma in my life. So in childhood, I had a very traumatic childhood. By the time I was eight years old and I started rocking back and forth, like banging back and forth, and banging my feet and crying in my sleep as a young child. And I was always obsessed with horses. My mother and father didn't know what to do with me back then. I am 63 years old. So back then there wasn't many therapists. Kind of weird. So, my mother had a schizophrenia sister who was in and out of Ancora (state hospital) . So she was terrified something was wrong with me. Here I am rocking back and forth back on my feet, crying, all that. So she convinced my dad to get me a horse. When she got me the horse, the rocking stopped, the banging the feet kind of persisted, but not as much. And I stopped crying in my sleep. So right then and there, that was proof that the horses were actually helping me. So they grounded me at a very young age. Alyssa Scolari: [00:03:43] That makes me want to just cry because I have a not similar, but somewhat on the same lines. I first discovered horses and I was obsessed with horses when I was maybe around like, six years old, just begged like, can we get a pony? Can we get a pony? Which I think every six-year-old right. What six year old doesn't want a pony. But when I was around like eight or nine years, old. My best friend at the time, her mom rode horses and I started riding with them at the farm that they go to. And then I started taking lessons and then I started to compete. And that was also around the time where I started to develop really bad symptoms, obsessive compulsive disorder. So at that time I was washing my hands all the time. I was rubbing my skin raw and when I started riding horses, all of that stuff went away. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:04:49] Yeah, it's amazing. Alyssa Scolari: [00:04:51] So yeah, I learned that a very, you know, a young age, just like you, the healing power of horses. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:04:57] So I got very excited about that and being the therapist in the making. I didn't know that, but now looking back, I can see it. I invited all of my girlfriends in school who said they liked horses to come help me at this farm. So it was like the comradery, the connection, the healing power of the barn just came alive. It was just awesome. So yeah, I got it early on how you can bring people and horses together and it makes for a very great environment. Alyssa Scolari: [00:05:27] A beautiful, beautiful environment for you. You didn't immediately jump into equine assisted therapy. You became an RN first. Were you a school nurse? Jeanne Mahoney: [00:05:42] Yeah,I was. I did a lot of different types of nursing from the ICU to the ER to school nursing. And then I worked at a detox because of my trauma. By the time I was 24 years old, I had a significant addiction and didn't know what to do. And I had gone down some pretty dark roads and then I was driving down the road one day. Another story here, driving down the road one day on a very busy road. And it was all the farms disappeared around where I lived. I came up from like Cherry Hill/Ashland area. So all the farms started disappearing and I'm driving down this road, thinking about suicide and darting across from me, a horse. Like on this busy street. So I was like, Holy crap. So I pulled over, I got out and I said, he's gonna get hit. He's going to get hit. And I ran down and I followed him and I'm running and I was in shape and I was young girl. So I was running, even though I was pretty damn sick. Cause I think I was just coming off of a run. And we landed up in this clearing and I just commenced to tell this horse, everything in my life, sobbing and weeping, you know, and I was just telling him everything that was going wrong in my life right now. And I said to him, you need to go home and I need to get you home or you're going to die. And I turned around and he followed me. So right then I was just like, Oh my God. And I did. Yeah, it was amazing. And I did get him back to his owner, but the reality is, every time when I'd had these horrible situations, a horse showed up, like how coincidental is that? I don't think so. Alyssa Scolari: [00:07:26] Right. No, not at all. That horse saved your life and that horse saved your life that day. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:07:32] And then I landed up finding the 12 Steps. And so I landed up in recovery at 24 and ever since, so I'm 39 years clean and sober. Alyssa Scolari: [00:07:42] Wow. Good for you. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:07:44] Yeah. And that was like, you know, the horses just really gave me the motivation and the grounding that I needed to survive. And then of course I learned a lot about trauma and a lot about helping people because when I got clean, There was one NA meeting a week in New Jersey That was it. Alyssa Scolari: [00:08:05] In all of New Jersey, right? Jeanne Mahoney: [00:08:07] All of New Jersey, there was no basic texts. There was nothing. So I got to be able to be in the ground on all of that making. So I was involved in all of that, bring it to fruition, the basic text and all the meetings. And so my life took off in a great direction. So, I landed up working as a nurse and doing lots of things. And then I landed up working in a drug and alcohol detox, and I had a traumatic event again, in my thirties. It might've been forties actually. And I landed up back in therapy and the therapist asks that I joined a women's group. So I joined a women's group and at the women's group. I was training at that time, a horse, I had gotten a farm by then and all, and I was training a horse that had a lot of trauma. So I would come into process my training of the horse with these women. And they would be on the edge of their seat waiting for my stories. I was really just being honest and saying, you know, cause I was doing a lot of internal work via the horse at the time she was very traumatized. So they would be like: "Oh my God, that reminds me of my husband." "Oh, that reminds me of my sister." And they were like relating all this. And I was like, really? Wow. Alyssa Scolari: [00:09:21] So, the way the horse was behaving. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:09:23] Yes, yes. Alyssa Scolari: [00:09:25] Wow. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:09:26] So then I was working at the drug and alcohol rehab and I went to the clinical director and I said, I want to bring my horses here. And she said, really, we'd love you to bring your horses here. She said, but you know, maybe you'll want to get a certification or something. I don't know. So I went and got EAGALA certified. Alyssa Scolari: [00:09:41] Seabrook. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:09:41] Yes. Yes. Yeah. Alyssa Scolari: [00:09:43] Wow. That is an incredible story. So it's almost like forces have been there for you in this healing way, your whole life. And then it just led you, right? Every step you took led you right to the place where you are now. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:10:00] Yeah. So we went in and millions of people pass through my arena. It seemed. Probably 20,000. I don't know a lot. At... Alyssa Scolari: [00:10:09] Oh God. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:10:11] ...Seabrook house and it just started growing and just started seeing how the interaction, and this is the first time people have not been next to a horse. If you think about it, like were partners we were partners through war We were partners through discovering new lands I mean it's been us and the horse We may have this unspoken Agreement that we're going to work together So when people would come into the arena who never touched a horse in their lifetime they always displayed to me They absolutely did display to me a generational knowing they've been here before now obviously they haven't but in their DNA and I've had people weeping next to horses I've had heroin addicts hiding in the corner and a horse go over and just stand with them Just to them and the guy or the girl would reach out and then they would open up. They would just open up. It was just amazing. I've really been a privileged person to see many miracles. Alyssa Scolari: [00:11:12] It really is the most miraculous thing. And I love what you say about how it's almost just like wired in our DNA and how horses really have been with mankind womankind forever. It has always been human and horse, so it feels so natural when you're standing next to a horse and people that haven't done it. It may sound silly until you are standing next to that horse face-to-face or when that horse is looking at you, which I learned this about horses recently, right? They can't see you if you're standing directly in front of them. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:11:50] Well, it depends on how close you are to their face. Alyssa Scolari: [00:11:52] If you're very close, right. They can't see you. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:11:55] Well, you'd have to be like right there where they can't see you. They have a blind spot right here, but they can see you. They just have a blind spot right in front. Alyssa Scolari: [00:12:03] They have a blind spot. There's something about their eyes that it's just like, they know. So this past summer, obviously this last year of quarantine has been some of the most depressing times I think most of us have ever experienced and very isolating. My cousin owns a horse, my cousin competes and over the summertime, we went down to the farm and I got a chance to ride her horse. And I ended up, he didn't really throw me off, but it was my fault. I wasn't sitting on him correctly. So he kinda got like irritated with me and like shimmied me off and I like fell off. And it was in that moment that I felt like we've never understood each other more. Like I knew what he said to me, which was: you're not sitting on me right. And he gently shook me off. He didn't throw me off. He was just kind of like, Hey, this doesn't feel right. Like something's not right. So I'm just going to get you off of me. And I felt like we spoke with one another. It was such a surreal experience. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:13:21] Yeah. And so, you know, when I use it in trauma, like years ago, when I started when I was six, there wasn't words for this stuff, there wasn't, there was a basic theory, but it is evolved in the past five to 10 years. It has really evolved like now, like I use polyvagal theory. It's amazing. And I've got a established trauma treatment with the horses. Alyssa Scolari: [00:13:46] When you say you use polyvagal theory with equine assisted therapy, can you talk (more about that) ? Jeanne Mahoney: [00:13:51] Absolutely. So, first of all, the process that you go through, you know, treating someone with the horses is the first thing that we do is we establish emotional safety and physical safety. So the horses are in the arena and they're loose. They're not on anything. I have an indoor arena and an outdoor arena or the pasture and they're loose. So they have choice. And the person has choice too. So we established the choice, the trust, the collaboration, the empowerment with the horse and the human first. And that is nothing on their heads. It's just them interacting with them. We talk about the fight, flight, freeze, play dead symptoms that come up or reactions that come up in horses. And in people too, and we teach them how to co-regulate with the horses. Either they're borrowing from my regulation, the horses regulation, whatever, we are all co-regulating together. So there's a little bit of mindfulness in there and being able to really just come down, just be present to each other after we build that and maybe even widen their window of tolerance, because some people are very afraid when they come, but we use that too. Feel that. Where are you comfortable? Where are you uncomfortable? Can you step into the uncomfortable section for a bit? You can move back to the comfortable section. So we are able to go back and forth in and out of these. And then we do go into the second phase is trauma processing. So we create the traumatic event. If that's where we're going. By using psychodrama techniques basically. Do a little bit of EMDR. A little bit of family systems. Gestalt. All of that is used in the arena with the clients and the horses. From that, the third phase is reintegration and reconnection. Integration really and reconnection. And then we look for the future. What do you want in the future? What do you need to take with you to the future? What new awarenesses did you develop and new tools did you get here at equine assisted therapy that you can use in your everyday life? It is absolute flow. It's not just. It's powerful. The biggest challenge I have is slowing people down because they want to go. And as you know, as a therapist, you've got to slow people down sometimes. Alyssa Scolari: [00:16:22] Yes, because if you go too fast, then you're liable to crash and burn. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:16:27] Absolutely. So I have to slow them down. I have to first resource, as we say, building those resources that I can call upon. If they land up in the transformational process and the trauma process, if they land up in there, I need to be able to ground them. The horses do a lot of it. The horses see it. And the horses will ground them as well. It's amazing to work with them because you'll see a horse go over and absolutely ground somebody when they're going, when they're escalating and they can see when they're incongruent, when their insides don't match their outsides. Because as you know, well, maybe you don't know, I'd like you to know, is that the horses live in a herd. And they have this extra perception of energy so they can feel energy for...probably some of them can feel for a couple of miles out. I know they can. So, I'm five miles out and you know, they can feel it. I know where their edges are and aware they're feeling it. And if I have somebody come in, who disassociates right in front of me and the horses react. They can see this depending on the disassociation and the degree of emotional regulation. You see it. It's amazing. Alyssa Scolari: [00:17:40] It is amazing. They pick up on energy and they pick up on...it's more than just your affect. It's more than just the way you're standing. It's like you said, if your insides don't match your outsides, they 1000%, know. I mean, I've had a horse who, because of how nervous I was just wouldn't let me get on them. He was just like, no, you're not ready for this. And he was right. And it took hours of us just walking together. We just walked. Left, right, forward. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:18:11] Yeah, which really, if you think about it, he was actually stimulating both sides of your brain. You could say that's a little EMDR-ish. Alyssa Scolari: [00:18:18] He was, he was, and I sat in my car after, and I just cried because I had never felt so understood and almost protected by this animal who was just like, You're not ready to do this. You are not ready to get on this horse. You're not ready to get on me. We're not there yet. So let's slow down. So when you'd say,the horses will tell you and the horses do communicate, I a thousand percent believe that. I witnessed it. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:18:46] Yeah, it's very powerful. The way the polyvagal theory, there's lots of other things, but the way that works, is that social engagement piece, that often gets messed up. That can actually, you can build upon that with the horses and people will let horses in a little quicker than they will other people sometimes. And so sometimes that can be a really nice bridge, really nice bridge. And then the fight or flight sometimes when they see that horse react in fight or flight, oh, that can bring so much to them, to somebody who is traumatized, they can identify. They're like so identified and you know, there's some certain times in trauma when you can't fight or flight, you're trapped and there's no way out. And so then you go and you shut down and you go into the freezer, the play dead and horses will do that in front of you too. So it's just like this big giant mirror for trauma survivors. It's just amazing. It's really interesting because a lot of people into horses I've had trauma. They gravitate towards the horses. Alyssa Scolari: [00:19:54] Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. That makes a lot of sense. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:19:59] And then when you think about, I've been influenced by Bessel van der Kolk with The Body Keeps Score and lately just some beautiful things coming out in the world and getting somebody back into their body. So like in trauma,you're out of your body, you like it out there. You really don't want to come back in. Alyssa Scolari: [00:20:17] Right? You want to leave your body? Yeah. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:20:21] I'll have clients come in and they're really interested in all kinds of ethereal kind of things like crystals. And I love all that stuff. Don't get me wrong. But the reality of it is let's come back in for a little bit let's... Alyssa Scolari: [00:20:33] RIght. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:20:33] ...and the horses will bring them back in, in a way that they're willing to go to. A lot of people will do things for the sake of the horse rather than do it for the sake of themselves. And then they'll feel their bodies and they'll feel how it is and you can go back out of it anytime they want. Alyssa Scolari: [00:20:53] Right. Right. So basically what you're saying is first they do it for the horse, but then it becomes more about being in their bodies. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:21:03] And if it feels good if we can create a scenario where it actually feels good, they'll go there again. the horse. That's the hope. Alyssa Scolari: [00:21:15] Now for what therapy looks like in a session, are you in the arena the whole time? In and out of the arena? Like what does that look like? Jeanne Mahoney: [00:21:25] I really, wow. I follow my client and so I really let it unfold. I'm comfortable enough with the work to allow that to happen. So I might have the horses already in the arena loose. We might go out and pick a couple of horses. Depending on the weather and the day. Sometimes I'll do a check in, I have an office in the barn, so if there's a need that we need to be in there, we'll be in there. And I do use the EMDR. I have a light in the barn and I do lots of different things, but we'll start wherever the client is. Sometimes I'll take a walk with a client on the edges of the farm. Sometimes they need a walk. And then we'll go do a horse activity. So it just depends on where they're coming from and what's going on and what is the focus of treatment today. So I have to make those quick decisions in the moment. There's times when I, after I've built tons of relationship and lots of deposits in the bank account, I will make a withdrawal and I will gently encourage, sometimes the horses will do it for me. Cause they see it. So it's a very intuitive kind of thing. Alyssa Scolari: [00:22:41] Yeah, very individualized. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:22:44] Although I do groups and we certainly do do groups and I love doing groups, but Alyssa Scolari: [00:22:50] You don't love doing groups or you do. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:22:52] I do. I love doing groups. Absolutely love it. Cause there's,horses, like I said, you can go too fast. So if your ego is not ready, it can reveal too much. So if there's another person there, they can hide behind that person. And it's a little safer. So you get a rest, if you will, so you can figure it out. Alyssa Scolari: [00:23:16] It feels safer. Yeah. It feels safer in a group. Now, when it comes to helping with trauma, horses definitely helped with the co-regulation piece. What other ways do you see horses helping with trauma? Jeanne Mahoney: [00:23:36] I'll give you a story or example, if you will. (I'll) protect the names. So I had this person who came in and a lot of trauma as a child. So mom and dad: drug addicts, alcoholics. So beautiful young woman now in her mid thirties, forties raising a family of her own, but still carrying this heavy trauma. So there was one trauma incident that she set up. So we have things in the arena, poles and cones and barrels. And there was a car incident where she was in the car and she was left in the car in the pouring rain. While dad went into cop. So there was this abandonment feeling. We recreated that abandonment feeling right in the arena. She was in that moment. She was in that moment. She described to me what this was, what that was, this is the steering wheel. He went in, you know, like she was able to describe everything. And then we named the horses. It was three horses with something that she needed. Something that she needed to get through this that she didn't have. And so she was able to name them three things that she needed, and she was able to bring the horses through. Now that was so powerful for her because she was able to resolve some things she got in her body. She was able to resolve some things that actually lifted that from her. You know, and then she still remembers it, but it doesn't sting as much. It's very similar to doing EMDR, but we actually cleared out a lot of that trauma track from doing these activities. And she did some other things like some writing and some things like that. But the reality of it is it's very, that's why I say it's psychodrama in many ways. It's in the, doing in the action where you're there and I'm saying, what do you need? What do you need? Let me give it to you. Alyssa Scolari: [00:25:28] She's able to like recreate the scenario, but this time she's able to give herself exactly what she needs. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:25:39] And the big girl can help the little girl, Alyssa Scolari: [00:25:42] She can help her inner child. Yeah. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:25:45] And things like that. Like that's one way, I mean, there is so many different scenarios, but just to give you a little visual of what it could be like, and that's in the processing part. Alyssa Scolari: [00:25:56] Right. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:25:56] It's just like EMDR. It has problems. So that's the processing part. It's not all of it. Yeah. That's just part of it. Alyssa Scolari: [00:26:04] Right. It's so layered and it's so much more than what people think it is, which is why I'm also really happy to have you on to be able to explain, well, what is this. No, it's not just, you look at a horse and you give it a pat and say, great, I'm healed now. It's so much different than that. It's so much more complex than that. Another way that stands out to me, that horses help heal trauma is by making us feel seen. I really feel that when I'm around horses, they see me. And I think so many of us who have survived trauma just have felt unseen throughout our lives. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:26:48] Absolutely. Or and sometimes want to be unseen. Yeah. Alyssa Scolari: [00:26:53] Can't hide from a horse, Jeanne Mahoney: [00:26:55] No, they come and find you. They do. Sometimes they do. I had this one horse, honest to God, I'm not kidding: Grief. I call her my grief horse and I will be working a group of people and someone will have just experienced a loss and this horse will go in and check in with them. Like she'll pick them out of the group and then go away and then go on and check in and I'll go over to the person. I'll say, "Hey, how are you doing like lost anybody or anything lately?" "Oh yeah. My wife just died a month ago" and I'd be like, huh? I mean, she, Alyssa Scolari: [00:27:28] You're like, yep. That makes sense. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:27:30] Yeah. Yeah. Cause she's trying to get them congruent. She's trying to, you know, she's trying, cause they look at everything as a herd and they're trying to make their herd okay. So it's remarkable. Alyssa Scolari: [00:27:41] It's so remarkable. Oh my goodness. Now, are you the, I see you're the executive director of it's called Equine Assisted Therapy of New Jersey (https://www.equineassistedtherapyofnj.org/) . Jeanne Mahoney: [00:27:53] Correct. Yeah. Alyssa Scolari: [00:27:55] You founded the entire, okay. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:27:59] Yeah, we've gone down many, many roads with it, but yeah. Yeah, I did. I did (found) it. And I also, I had an LLC for a little bit with another lady and actually she took that on and went on her way with it as well. So yeah, it's been a lifelong journey. I have a farm where the nonprofit is on with the indoor arena and I live on it and it is in Salem County. So it's in a Mannington actually. It's right outside of Woodstown New Jersey. So it's Mannington New Jersey. It's like 12 minutes from the Delaware Memorial bridge to give you an idea about where we're at. Alyssa Scolari: [00:28:35] Okay. Now I'm curious, how did COVID affect this? Jeanne Mahoney: [00:28:41] I got busier. Like I down when COVID came, I shut everything down. It was a time for me to really revamp everything. So we had some things going on here, like Therapeutic Riding, things like that. And I actually did away with that. That wasn't my heart anyway. It wasn't working out very well. There's a lot of people that do therapeutic riding around and we do not do that. Alyssa Scolari: [00:29:06] Yes, there's a difference between Therapeutic Riding and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:29:12] We turned our barn into a professional kind of barn. I do have an occupational therapist and she also does some things. And I also have a veteran mentorship program with a vet that works here. Alyssa Scolari: [00:29:24] Wow. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:29:26] So we've kind of just redid some things. We kept the social distancing, the masks, the temperature checks and all of that. While we did things, it was a little bit easier because you're outside. So you can keep that six foot distance and things like that. But there were times when we shut down entirely. Yeah, so we just kind of rode the wave. And I was doing tele-health for a while, just as an LPC, you know, just as a Licensed Professional Counselor, but always thinking we'll open up soon. And so we've been very busy lately. I'm struggling, keeping up, but in a fun way now, because the weather's getting nicer and the colder weather you do it, but it's not as fun. Alyssa Scolari: [00:30:04] It's not as fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:30:08] Doing some workshops Saturdays once a month and, and seeing clients during the week. And yeah, it's been going well and going to build a little bit more up to, you know, I'm getting invigorated by the nice weather. Alyssa Scolari: [00:30:23] Yes. Everything that you're saying just sounds so. The whole conversation just feels so invigorating: your passion for it and your love for it is very, very palpable. And it's exciting. And it's exciting that you just keep building and you're just creating this very, very like healing environment for clients. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:30:45] I really just got to do that. I retired from the VA in 2019. So I've been, that's when my building really started. I mean, I've been doing it all along. I've always had like three jobs, four jobs, but now I have this job, so it's really doing so much better than it used to because I'm able to just do this so I can give it my energy and my passion, but it has been a lifelong project. Alyssa Scolari: [00:31:12] A lifelong project. Yes. Well, you are doing incredible things and if people want to find you, they can go right to your website, which is https://www.equineassistedtherapyofnj.org/. Jeanne Mahoney: [00:31:27] Yup.

In today's episode, I'm sharing some personal news… my anxiety came back! My job is transitioning back to the office and traveling for sales, and it brought me back to one of my biggest anxiety triggers: my car. So, I thought I'd share some of the coping mechanisms I'm using to handle this old trigger, and I wanted you to know that if something triggers your anxiety even though you're putting in the work to manage your stress, you are not alone and it does not reflect on you at all! I hope this episode helps you and resonates with you. Products or websites mentioned: The Body Keeps Score by Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. - https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+body+keeps+score&qid=1616165583&sr=8-1 @notsosecretdiaryofanxiety - https://www.instagram.com/notsosecretdiaryofanxiety/ @honestlyholistic - https://www.instagram.com/honestlyholistic/ 3 Key takeaways I want to highlight from this episode are: When a fearful thought arises, it's important to acknowledge it, but not “hook into” it. Focus on taking deep belly breaths and talking yourself through the moment, reminding yourself that you're safe and thanking your body for letting you know something's up. In the mornings, leave plenty of time for self-care and getting ready, so you can eliminate the “rushed” feeling that could heighten your anxiety. If you are triggered into an anxious state, give yourself grace. Your body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do in response to a traumatic event or memory.

Cathy and Todd discuss how fear can be helpful if we are willing to listen and look at what's it's trying to say, but destructive if we live from constant state of fear by blaming and dehumanizing. They discuss Dr. Bessel van de Kolk's book, The Body Keeps Score, and his interview with Krista Tippet on the Being Wise podcast, and how trauma becomes lodged in our bodies and what we can do to move it through. Cathy and Todd share examples of trauma and disconnection from Million Little Things, 8th Grade, The Haunting of Hill House, and the way our current administration is dehumanizing immigrants and people seeking asylum at the border.
