In this episode, I speak with Karen Sprinkel Ancelet about her path to integrating trauma-informed, psychedelic-assisted therapy into her clinical practice. Karen shares how, early in her career, she worked with families whose loved ones had been murdered by a serial killer. She found that the models she had been trained in were not enough to address the profound spiritual trauma her clients experienced as they struggled to make sense of such horrific loss. This realization led Karen to begin practicing Buddhism and eventually to live in Asia, where she deepened her understanding of human suffering. While working with people from Thailand and Tibet who had endured trauma, she witnessed how cultural perspectives shape the ways we make meaning out of tragedy and resilience. She also facilitated group therapy for child sexual abuse survivors, where she discovered that while some approaches were effective for certain individuals, they were not universally helpful. From these experiences, Karen came to conceptualize trauma as impacting the mind, body, and spirit, all of which must be addressed in healing. She describes her initial skepticism toward psychedelic therapies, coming from a place of purism, but shares how her perspective shifted as she learned more about their effectiveness. Immersing herself in advanced training and certification, Karen began working with clients using psychedelics in therapeutic contexts. Karen also discusses the breadth of her training across multiple trauma-healing approaches. She highlights Somatic modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy; Desensitization-based methods like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting; and Parts models including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Voice Dialogue, and Ego State Therapy. She explains how client factors often determine which approach is the best fit for a given individual. Throughout our conversation, Karen emphasizes her commitment to helping clients heal from PTSD as efficiently as possible. This integrative vision inspired her book, The Thriving Self: A New Paradigm for Healing the Mind, Body and Spirit and Moving Beyond It, which offers clients a framework to move toward healing without spending years in therapy. Karen Sprinkel Ancelet, LMFT is a licensed psychotherapist with more than 30 years of clinical experience, practicing in California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and Michigan. She specializes in trauma-informed care and integrates a broad range of evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (Level 3), and HeartMath. Karen is also a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) provider with advanced psychedelic training through MAPS, Fluence, and Three Cups. She graduated with a Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research from CIIS. In addition to her clinical practice, she serves as a consultant, educator, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Continuing Education provider. A pivotal chapter in Karen's life was her time living in Asia, where she conducted her master's research on trauma healing following violent crimes in Tibet, Southeast Asia, and the United States. Deeply impacted by these findings, she returned to Asia for several years to further her exploration. Today, Karen weaves together the ancient wisdom of meditation and mindfulness with contemporary approaches such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Flash, EFT, IFS, and Somatic Experiencing to guide and support her clients in their healing journey.

Send us a textGlenda Z. Villamarín, MA, LCP, is a clinical psychologist, Brainspotting Trainer , and PhD candidate whose work gently weaves together neuroscience, ancestral wisdom, and cultural reflection to support individual and collective healing.  She is the author of Cultural Critique and Psychology: Attachment Theory in Ecuador and co-author of Tunkawan: The Path of Wisdom—an invitation to walk with reverence through ancestral teachings and inner transformation.This episode will take the curious, erudite and noetic listener on quite a journey.   Glenda brings a balanced measure of great experience with a touching, gentle humility.  In doing so she covers here one of the most powerful insights into how ancestral healing and Andean medicine integrate such respect for the wisdom of the plants and the planet, in human healing.  She goes well beyond many modern misconceptions of indigenous knowledge to identify the importance of epistemology in the framing of, and engaging in, the field of healing.  An incredible example of how the Andean indigenous people understand the master plant, tobacco, gives a fascinating developmental insight into the integrative and spiritual power of such plants through ritual and ceremony.  This is incredible when one extrapolates it's meaning to our relationships with other plants too and the life force on which we depend.  In addition, the flow of this conversation leaves the listener with an unmistakable insight into the power of humility in taking a well educated yet non-expert position of uncertainty, when this is applied to attuned investigation, curiosity and spiritual awareness.  For more information on Glenda's work go to:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SerendipitaEcuador/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/serendipita_ec?igsh=MWdpc2VjN3F5OXh1dg==Website: www.serendipitaecuador.org    WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/IAAADOMKYZ7EO1For more information on Brainspotting and to train with Dr Mark Grixti go to: https://bspuk.co.uk/trainings-and-events/ https://www.facebook.com/brainspottinguk https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/awe-in-trauma/id1580294433?i=1000543054793 https://twitter.com/BrainspottingUK https://www.instagram.com/brainspotting_uk/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-wfQEAwQX3qr36zkhh9J0g

We have to work and deal with our internal and early trauma. This can be more difficult to see and process without a reliable, trustworthy “other” in our lives. Sometimes it even takes an expert who can walk us through that journey in order for us to get to that safe space for healing and recovery.Today, Duane talks with Andrew Susskind about his book, It's Not About the Sex: Moving from Isolation to Intimacy after Sexual Addiction. They go into depth about attachment, emotional regulation, the need for reliable people to heal your traumatic wounds, and how we can do that when we're in recovery and still struggling with internal chaos. Andrew is a licensed clinical social worker, a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, a Brainspotting practitioner, and a certified group psychotherapist. The book is Andrew's passion project where he wrote about themes that have been on his mind for three decades now. Since then, so much has changed in the mental health field as well as the addiction and trauma world. Andrew's book reflects many of those changes. Andrew not only leans on the experiences of his clients but on his personal experience as well. In 1994, Andrew went to his first SCA meeting, which stands for Sexual Compulsives Anonymous. In the therapy room, he noticed that people were learning how to stop their addictive behaviors. However, that's just the starting gate. His book covers some themes and different areas of healing that can happen beyond stopping destructive behavior.In this episode, you will hear:Somatic Experiencing and BrainspottingThe mechanism behind our nervous system regulationThe concept of upregulation vs. downregulationWhy it's not just about sexHaving reliable relationships as a platform for healingKey Quotes:[06:57] - “Somatic Experiencing and Brainspotting are both trauma healing modalities that focus on Nervous System regulation.”[07:40] - “One of the keys to regulating the nervous system is knowing when we're dysregulated.”[08:29] - “Someone who feels most comfortable in their skin feels calm, peaceful, grounded, and hopefully feels resourceful, resilient, and buoyant.”[11:51] - “Even though it looks like compulsive sexual behavior, on the surface, once we scratch the surface, it's really about broken-heartedness.”[14:20] - “When someone is trying to regulate themselves, it's actually an attempt to feel better.”[17:49] - “If you scratch the surface on anyone who's sexually compulsive, you're going to find some kind of avoidant attachment within that.”[23:08] - “If we're connected within and to one another, and to something greater than ourselves, that's going to create a platform for healing.”Subscribe and ReviewHave you subscribed to our podcast?

This is an episode of massive importance. My deepest thanks to my guest, Becky Nulle, who endured horrific experiences of rape and sexual assault from multiple perpetrators, one of which was the Deputy Superintendent of Chicago Schools, James Moffat, in the late 70's and early 80's. Becky was one of 5 victims that suffered rape and sexual assault from Moffat who was finally charged and prosecuted in the mid-80's.   But Becky's story starts with parents who, as she puts it, were neglectful. Becky was victimized by bullies at school, vulnerable, and easy prey to “Darrel” who promised her protection but became her first sexual abuser. He was also the person who trafficked Becky to Moffat. And then, as a result of Becky searching for safety and connection, she fell victim to several other adults who took advantage of Becky's vulnerability and exposure on the streets of Chicago.  This story is tragic…and yet triumphant. Because Becky sought out help and healing. And found it through her therapist, Jan Spangler, who introduced Becky to brainspotting, a very effective trauma therapy method, according to Becky.  She says that brainspotting saved her life, helping her recognize and deal with her hidden traumas, saved her marriage, and provided her with the ability to pursue her bachelor's degree, as well as the pathway of writing a book.  The book is Anger, Alcohol, and Healing through Brainspotting, now available for pre-release ordering. ( Becky also provided me with a brief bio that I want to include: Becky Nulle is a soon to be published author and a volunteer who helps the Hmong community in Northern Wisconsin. She is a Sexual Assault/Rape Survivor of James Moffat, a powerful man who was second in charge of the Chicago Public School System at one time. Becky is married, has a Doberman and eight ducks. She is currently working on her Bachelors Degree in Communications. This is an episode that you'll not want to miss. And I encourage you to copy the link to this episode and share it with family, friends, and acquaintances. The impact will help bring justice to victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault, and help educate those who listen in. And, it may just save someone's life. This episode is filled with substance, reflection, and a deep commitment to the healing process. It's a powerful reminder that survivor stories don't stop when the episode is over—and that advocacy can take many forms, including quiet reflection. This one is for every voice that hasn't been heard yet—and every listener who's ready to believe, support, and speak up.

This podcast is changing because my work is changing! I'm still offering business coaching, and you can find out how I help therapists and healers with their businesses at rebeltherapist.me. AND I've stepped back into working with clients as a healer. I have been on a HUGE healing journey of my own that started with a guided psychedelic journey in January of 2023. I then received Brainspotting, first from my friend, Alicia Taverner. Hire her if you can. She's at *https://www.ranchocounseling.com/.* Then I received some parts work. I have gotten so much help from these modalities. They really get to the root of my trauma in a way that nothing else has. I felt this magnetic pull to learn these modalities myself and to start working as a healer again. I work with people who are estranged from a parent or caregiver and other folks who want to do some big healing. I also have a workshop coming up later this summer for people who are estranged from a parent or caregiver and are working to build their most beautiful life. If you're interested in checking out any of that, find it at AnnieZam.com. Let's get to today's amazing therapist guest who I adore. My favorite kind of practitioner is the kind that wouldn't ask their client to do anything they don't do themselves. I'm SO excited to introduce Jaclyn Tyson, a therapist and spiritual companion who helps people reconnect with their inner wisdom through spirituality, creativity, and healing practices. She weaves together approaches like Brainspotting, parts work, energy healing, and expressive arts to support personal and collective transformation. In our conversation, you'll hear about how she uses these modalities with her clients AND how they're central to her own growth and healing. Here's some of what we talked about: How Jaclyn processed her grief after her father passed and she knew she needed something beyond the tools she already had Jaclyn's mentorship with a Shaman How she brings Reiki, Brainspotting and IFS together all at once with her clients The rituals she does before and after sessions Show notes at https://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/247

What up, Beasts! In this episode, I sat down with the incredible Suyapa, a licensed clinical social worker and fellow eldest daughter who knows all about the pressure of having it all together. She opened up about growing up in a Mexican and Honduran family, caring for her siblings who live with disabilities and mental health challenges, and what it means to carry adult responsibilities before you even hit your teen years. We talked about what it's like to be the one who always holds it down, the emotional weight that comes with that role, and how it shapes our relationships, our bodies, and our sense of self.This one hit me in the feels. Suyapa and I got real about hyper-independence, loneliness, and how healing starts when we finally give ourselves permission to ask for help. We also dove into how our past can mess with our self-trust, and how unlearning old narratives takes serious patience and compassion. Whether you're navigating your own healing, supporting a family member, or just trying to figure out who you are under all the pressure, this episode will remind you that you're not alone, and that connection really can be medicine.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Suyapa is a trauma-informed, culturally responsive licensed clinical social worker therapist who specializes in working with BIPOC adults navigating the complexities of having disabled siblings or siblings living with mental health and substance misuse challenges.

What if your money blocks weren't just mindset—but deeply stored in your body? In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Nichole Jones, therapist, money mindset mentor, and brainspotting expert, who shares how healing your nervous system is the missing link between you and true financial peace. Nichole opens up about her journey as a “recovering manifester,” how she tried to get the Law of Attraction just right (hello, vision boards + hour-long meditations), and why it never stuck—until she began working with trauma, worthiness, and her nervous system. We dive deep into why so many of us feel stuck with money, how to stop shaming yourself for your financial emotions, and how to start rewiring your nervous system to feel safe with abundance. This is one of those must-listen episodes if you've ever felt like manifestation isn't working or money always feels like a struggle. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why your nervous system is KEY to unlocking wealth and worthiness ✅ What it means to be a “recovering manifester” (and why LOA might not be enough) ✅ The role trauma plays in shaping your money anxiety ✅ How brainspotting helps rewire beliefs and release stored emotional blocks ✅ What to do when you feel like you “shouldn't” be anxious—but still are ✅ A calming breathwork practice to regulate anxiety in real time ✅ Why surrendering to the divine (instead of forcing the “how”) is a game changer Resources & Links:

This short episode is an important message in our time.  It is taken from a recent production that is core to his trainings, writing and healing retreats.

What up, Beasts! Get ready for a mind-blowing conversation with Atara Parkinson, a marriage and family therapist turned health coach who's on a mission to bridge the gap between mental and physical health. She shares her personal story of burnout, binge drinking, and the wake-up call that led her to discover the power of minerals. We talk about the wild ways stress, diet culture, and postpartum struggles can throw our bodies completely out of whack, and how getting your minerals in check might just be the missing piece to feeling like yourself again. Plus, we go deep into why your body is basically begging you for nutrients, not punishment, and why bacon might just be the secret superfood we all need (yes, you read that right).We also dive into the sneaky signs of mineral imbalances like sugar cravings, brain fog, and that fun little habit of mentally spiraling about your morning alarm screw-up. Atara breaks down the crucial four minerals (magnesium, sodium, calcium, and potassium), how they impact everything from stress levels to decision-making, and simple ways to start rebalancing your body without feeling like you need a PhD in nutrition. If you've ever felt like your cravings, moods, or exhaustion are running the show, this episode is your permission slip to stop fighting your body and start fueling it the way it actually needs. Tune in, take notes, and maybe, just maybe, embrace the bacon.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Atara is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist and has been practicing in the field of mental health for 14 years. She's continued her education by becoming a certified integrative practitioner. Her current passions include holistic healing, supporting postpartum mamas, Brainspotting, therapeutic intensives and educating on the role of minerals for brain health and nervous system regulation. Revitalization and rebalancing client's are core goals in Atara's work. Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Connect with Atara!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atara.parkinsonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565419883298Where can you find me?Linktree: https://linktr.ee/beautifulbeastwithinstudiosWhat if you didn't have to fight against your body anymore?

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.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In Episode 107, Dr. Sarah Smith welcomes Dr. Simon Mittal and Ms. Maren Mittal to discuss the intricate dynamics of the health care system and how clinicians can survive and thrive within it. Dr. Simon Mittal, a physician with 30 years of experience and a background in both clinical and administrative roles, shares his journey of transitioning from working within a large health system to founding a consulting company aimed at making health care sustainable for both providers and patients. Ms. Maren Mittal, a licensed clinical social worker with expertise in mental health therapy, offers insights from her experience supporting medical professionals and families impacted by the demands of the medical field. Together, they delve into topics such as navigating health care leadership roles, balancing personal and professional responsibilities, and the importance of emotional intelligence in creating effective teams. Join us for a compelling conversation about redesigning clinical days, fostering relationships, and building sustainable health care models. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Embrace Vulnerability and Curiosity in Change Management: It's essential for healthcare providers to feel empowered to voice potential improvements and to approach organizational changes with a mindset of curiosity, engaging with stakeholders to collaboratively bring ideas to life. Prioritize Emotional Intelligence and Relationship Building: Successful leadership and team collaboration in healthcare heavily rely on cultivating trust and fostering emotional safety within teams. This ensures that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued, which is a cornerstone for high-functioning healthcare systems. Recognize the Importance of Individual Resilience: Providers must acknowledge personal boundaries and self-care to maintain their passion and effectiveness in their roles. Resiliency isn't just about enduring challenges but thriving amidst them by aligning work with personal values and finding joy in the practice.

— “No matter how confused, self- doubting or ambivalent we are about what's happening in our interactions with other people, we can never entirely silence the inner voice that always tells us the truth. We may not like the sound of the truth, and we often let it murmur just outside our consciousness, not stopping long enough to listen. But when we pay attention to it, it leads us towards wisdom, health and clarity. That voice is the guardian of our integrity.”  ~Susan Forward, Ph.D. Valeria interviews Rhonda Van De Geest  — She is a Certified & Accredited Narcissistic Abuse Specialist , Somatic Trauma Informed Coach, PreKure Mental Health Coach and trained practitioner of Living Wisdom Pastoral Therapy and Brainspotting. Rhonda is the founder of Victory Overwhelming, a Mental Wellness Coaching Service which takes a holistic approach to helping people free themselves from the effects of Narcissistic Abuse and Intergenerational Trauma.  Rhonda's passion is to help people gain Victory over their Overwhelming emotions, caused by narcissism, trauma and spiritual abuse. Rhonda coaches clients to help them regain the four fundamental emotional needs which trauma destroys – their sense of Safety, Significance, Purpose and Innocence (freedom from guilt and shame).  She combines the latest Brain/Body neuroscience, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, ACT and Pastoral Therapy for Somatic Belief Reprogramming to help clients gain awareness of and learn to overcome the barriers preventing them from living a more fulfilling life. Her unique combination of skills fills a gap in the existing mental health system, helping clients for whom traditional ‘talk-therapies' have not provided the desired outcomes.  Healing occurs in the body, mind and soul. Whether you need a one-off consultation or ongoing support, it's important to get support from someone who not only has personal understanding of severe trauma, but has overcome it to experience post traumatic growth. Rhonda helps people all over the world via online and in person coaching. Contact Rhonda to explore how you can best work together to meet your needs.

— Honoring Ancestral Grief work is very subtle and profound, that takes place on a molecular level. It takes patience, devotion, compassion and an open heart to generate and embody these changes, until one day the process unfolds organically and naturally without utilizing immense reservoirs of effort. Some of the positive changes occur on the neuroplasticity level, which is the brain's ability to change through growth and reorganization. Some manifest as a deeper attuned nervous system and wider access to the information and sacred wisdom our bodies carries, a whole inner architecture that we get to know, our ancestry library.  A big part of the work of processing the un-metabolized grief of our ancestors, is to grief for them, and by doing so, for us as well. Grief call us to life. There's an importance in embracing grief to help us find deeper meaning in the joy and vitality of life.  Healing this grief may come through reconnecting with our forgotten lineage, allowing us to restore a foundation that may be missing, from which we can move more deeply into relationship with the wider world. The prayer is for the individual sovereign work we do, to ripple into our families, communities, eco-systems, lineages and the earth. What we liberate in ourselves, echos back infinitely and eternally, as a different quality of energy gets passed on to the next generations. A holistic, ancient, awaked, wise energy. One that witnesses the stories from a birds eye perspective, one that is generating the oceans of compassion and light hearted freedom.  One that is expanding our map of consciousness, that is stretching the elasticity of our collective memory and presence. It is essential we support the accessing of our own inner wisdom, so that we may connect with the ancestor that we wish to become. Valeria interviews MayRav Nissim — She is an open hearted, warm and experienced therapist and space holder.  Her work is informed by a wide range of healing modalities to help you restore, balance, and bloom. The northern star of her work is the important role the mind-body connection plays in healing and growth. Her practice is the interweaving of Psychotherapy, BioIntelligence, Neurobiology and Indigenous wisdom. Her certifications and continued areas of study include Internal Family Systems Level 3, Somatic Attachment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, Sound Healing and an ever-present apprenticeship in Shamanic practices. MayRav views her work with clients as a shared, supportive and compassionate reminder of ways to reconnect with their most authentic self, while they integrate deep sustainable change. It is her intention to guide them to create a more rooted foundation in their body, mind, heart and soul, from which they may step into greater vitality, presence and wholeness.  MayRav honors the knowing that our individual healing work eternally ripples within our homes, families, lineages and systems. She is passionate about breaking the cycles of historical and intergenerational trauma at the individual and community levels, and deeply believes in the healing power of coming together in community to witness and be witnessed, express, grief, renegotiate and reorganize.
