The issues at stake—our health, our rights, how we educate our kids—demand a lot from us. Yet, in today's attention economy, leaders don't always earn influence through integrity and truth. Instead, they master the art of capturing emotions, feeding fears, and speaking to lived experiences, often amplifying misinformation rather than challenging it.When leaders step into the fight against misinformation, they take on enormous risks and the consequences are very real, from open hostility to verbal abuse to death threats.Staying engaged in these difficult conversations requires more than just knowledge; it demands emotional regulation, capacity for conflict, and self-awareness. This is where unprocessed relational trauma can shape how a leader navigates conflict. But leaders who work through these wounds develop the ability to hold tension without collapsing or attacking. Developing this capacity for conflict is critical today. Because in an era when science is under siege, how we engage in conflict matters just as much as the facts themselves.In the first of two conversations with leaders who model how to engage with critics without feeding the outrage machine, today's guest shares his approach to tackling conflict and misinformation in science and health spaces, one where we engage with rigor and compassion without bending to the pressures of false equivalence. He understands that courage isn't about shouting the loudest; it's about staying grounded in your values, standing firm in the truth, and being authentic and creative in capturing much-coveted attention. Dr. Jonathan N. Stea is a full-time practicing clinical psychologist and an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Calgary. He's a two-time winner of the University of Calgary's Award for Excellence in Clinical Supervision and co-editor of the book Investigating Clinical Psychology: Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies. Dr. Stea has published extensively, with regular contributions to Scientific American and Psychology Today, among other outlets, and has appeared on numerous mainstream television and radio shows, as well as podcasts. His book, Mind the Science: Saving Your Mental Health from the Wellness Industry, aims to educate and embolden those who wish to make informed decisions about their mental health, to improve science and mental health literacy, and to pull back the curtain on the devastating consequences of allowing pseudoscience promoters to target the vulnerable within our society. Listen to the full episode to hear:How witnessing his mother's health struggles as a child shaped both Jonathan's career trajectory and his compassion for those who seek alternative treatmentsWhy testimonials and other anecdotal evidence are actually warning signs of pseudoscienceHow the placebo effect impacts our perception of the effectiveness of alternative curesHow not all grifters have malicious intent, though they can cause significant harmBreaking down common factors that make us susceptible to misinformationHow Jonathan has learned to cope with trolls and challenge pseudoscience with humorLearn more about Dr. Jonathan Stea:WebsiteX: @jonathansteaFacebook: @drjonathansteaInstagram: @dr_jonathan_steaThreads: @dr_jonathan_steaMind the Science NewsletterMind the Science: Saving Your Mental Health from the Wellness IndustryLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Judith Lewis HermanThe Developing Mind How Relationships and the Brain Interact to Shape Who We Are, Daniel J.

Dr. Stea traces the anti-psychiatry movement's origins to the 1960s, when it emerged in response to shortcomings in psychiatric practice. However, he argues that it has since devolved into a pseudoscientific ideology perpetuating misinformation.The conversation delves into how the wellness industry capitalizes on pseudoscientific ideas, exaggerating the role of personal responsibility and natural remedies while sowing distrust in traditional medicine. Dr. Stea shines a light on misleading claims in alternative medicine, from dubious naturopathic treatments to the misrepresentation of indigenous practices.Dr. Stea's book uses humor and clear examples to help readers recognize and avoid pseudoscience. He stresses the need for honesty, informed consent, and understanding of cultural beliefs in healthcare. Quoting Brandolini's Law, he warns that it takes much more effort to debunk false information than to create it, urging healthcare professionals to stay vigilant.  BioDr. Jonathan Stea is a practicing clinical psychologist and an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Calgary. With a specialization in assessing and treating concurrent addiction and mental health disorders, he has earned accolades for his expertise, including twice receiving the University of Calgary's Award for Excellence in Clinical Supervision.In addition to his clinical and academic roles, Dr. Stea is a dedicated science communicator. He actively works to debunk pseudoscience and misinformation, especially in the mental health field. This mission aligns with his commitment to the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists, which emphasizes promoting evidence-based care and countering harmful misinformation.Dr. Stea is also a co-editor of “Investigating Clinical Psychology: Pseudoscience, Fringe Science, and Controversies” and the author of “Mind the Science”, which explores the intersection of the wellness industry, the anti-psychiatry movement, and pseudoscience.

Teaching people to be teachers can feel like a bit of a head-spinner - it can get meta quite quickly! But teacher educators (in school or in university) are also part of a wider group of slightly unusual people who teach people to become public-service professionals like social workers, youth workers or police officers. In all of these cases, these educators have moved from a professional role to a role teaching people to do that job. While our colleagues looking after students in their work placements still do their original job too, in the case of university-based educators, they have left their original job role entirely and are trying to carve out a new position - not quite a 'normal' university lecturer, but not a teacher/social worker/whatever any more, either. We're delighted to be joined once again by Dr Louise Allen-Walker, together with Dan Williams who's making his podcast debut. They've been investigating clinical supervision - a supportive process which is a key part of many of these professions (but interestingly not teaching) - and asking whether it might be possible to create a 'safe space' for university-based educators to work out how they support students in university without treading all over all sorts of red lines and boundaries. We think this is also an interesting one for school-based teacher educators to consider in terms of what shift in identity takes place once you move from teacher to mentor. Thanks to Louise and Dan for joining us! We'll be back next time with more to get you thinking. -----------------------------------Recorded in studio B2.15 at Cardiff Metropolitan University's Cyncoed Campus on 18th October 2024.

Addiction is a bastard of a disease. If you have it, you don't know it. In fact, the number one symptom of addiction is that it convinces you that you aren't an addict. That's a terrible thing to get trapped in. And it's a terrible thing for the people who care about you, because you may not realise it - but your addiction affects them as well as you, and not just because they have to deal with your bullshit. It changes the way they are around others. However, every now and then - addicts have what's called a ‘moment of clarity'. A moment where they can see what they're doing, what is happening to them and those around them, and where they're headed. If you're lucky - that moment is accompanied by a willingness to do something about it, something to interrupt a cycle of damage and destruction that they otherwise are powerful to interrupt. Those moments don't last very long, so when they do - what can we do to help the addict in our lives? And what do we need to do to help ourselves? Today Osher welcomes back to the show one of the most important voices in Australia when it comes to the treatment of addiction. Diane Young, a Psychotherapist and Holistic Counsellor who is the Director of Clinical Supervision at South Pacific Private, Australia's leading treatment centre of addiction, anxiety and depression.

Do you struggle with your relationship with your mother? Today, I'm talking to Khara Crosswaite Brindle. We explored mother-daughter estrangement and the process of healing from toxic relationships. We discussed her book on ruptured mother-daughter bonds and the common cycle of estrangement that includes questioning the relationship, potential relationship ruptures, and stages of grief, self-discovery, and redefining self-worth. We both shared personal experiences of emotionally unavailable mothers and the impact this had on their sense of self.

So they can understand their value? o   How does one put boundaries in place when I may not even know what they should be? o   How do you realize you're worthy of these boundaries? o   What's what would you say, separates these stages in the parental estrangement experience? o   What separates the stages in the parental estrangement experience according to Kara's model? o   What social stigmas are attached to mother-daughter estrangement? o   What would you tell women today who have gone through abandonment by their mothers to help them understand their value? o   How do people stop people-pleasing to your own detriment? o   What is the name of Kara's book and where can people find it?     Topics Discussed: - Mother-daughter estrangement and the estrangement cycle - Impacts of emotionally unavailable, narcissistic, and abusive mothers - Intergenerational patterns of trauma and their effects - Struggles with self-worth, perfectionism, people-pleasing due to childhood experiences - Grieving the loss of an idealized mother-daughter relationship - Stages of healing from estrangement, including grief, self-discovery, and redefining self-worth - Importance of setting boundaries and distinguishing emotional vs. physical estrangement  - Societal pressures and stigma surrounding estrangement decisions - Role of community and therapy in healing from childhood trauma - Insights and strategies shared from Kara Cross's book on ruptured mother-daughter relationships     Quotes from the show: ·      “No daughter that I've worked with was like, this is fun for me.

In this episode, Carol discusses how early in her career she was hired to be the assistant director of training for a child and family guidance clinic, and became very intrigued in the processes of clinical supervision. After a decade, she became Director of Training at another American Psychological Association accredited program and developed the site visit documentation, which led her to collaborate with her future coauthor, Ed Shafranske, Ph.D., to develop a model of supervision. She explained how their model is transtheoretical, providing a framework for supervisors to provide supervision systematically and intentionally. She said that most clinicians provide supervision the way they were supervised, through osmosis, or internalizing practices done unto them, rather than using a particular model or being guided by research and evidence. She pointed out that increasingly, high rates of inadequate and even harmful supervision are being reported by supervisees, and how the process of becoming a supervisor varies dramatically. Some supervisors simply begin, utilizing practices that were done unto them during their training trajectory; others have taken a workshop, and some have a longer training period with a substantial sequence of courseswork, experiential training, video review, and targeted feedback to develop their skills as a supervisor. She explained that in their model focus is on a process that includes development of the supervisory alliance, monitoring that alliance over time attentive to the perspectives of cultural humility with respect to the clients, supervisees, and supervisor. Additionally it includes focus on reacivity or countertransference, supervisee self-care, legal and ethical issues, attending to a communitarian constellation, an environment of caring, respect, and support. We discussed having strong boundaries around supporting the supervisee in instances of reactivity in regards to client, while at the same time, never crossing the boundary to provide psychotherapy to the supervisee. In talking about supporting supervisees, she discussed trauma informed supervision and helping supervisees to have an understanding how their nervous system is affected, as well as helping them have tools for regulating their activation. She pointed out that the ultimate job of the supervisor is to protect clients, and gatekeeping, ensuring that unsuitable supervisees do not enter the profession. Carol discussed cultural humility and power in the supervisory relationship and how she and her co-author encourage supervisors to be open about their various identities and privilege from the outset of the supervisory relationship and throughout. She encourages giving feedback regularly throughout supervision, and being honest and transparent about the supervisee's development and scaffolding their strengths to improve the areas that are in development, rather than avoiding giving corrective feedback until review time. She discusses how monitoring client outcomes and feedback is critical and often left out in supervision, as well as encouraging supervisee self-assessment and not being fearful of give needed feedback to the supervisee. Carol Falender, Ph.D. is co-author of multiple books on clinical supervision including Clinical Supervision: A Competency-based Approach (2004; second edition, 2021), Getting the Most Out of Clinical Training and Supervision: A Guide for Practicum Students and Interns (2012) The Essentials of Competency-based Clinical Supervision (2017), co-editor of Casebook for Competency-based Clinical Supervision and all with Edward Shafranske; Multiculturalism and Diversity in Clinical Supervision: A Competency-based Approach (2014) edited with Edward Shafranske and Celia Falicov.

Similar to doctors going through residency, therapists must complete two years of supervised experience following graduate school. Historically, these hours had to be completed in person, but the rise of digital health now allows supervision to occur virtually in most states.   Motivo partners with community mental health organizations, treatment centers, digital health companies, and health plans to provide virtual access to quality, vetted clinical supervisors across all 50 states.

The clinical supervision contract is by far the most under-taught concept in counselor education. Which is crazy, considering it's the foundation of the post-graduate supervisory relationship! It can be also be much more straightforward than we've been led to believe. So why are so many graduate students AND supervisors reluctant to take a closer look?We often like to overcomplicate things, but in this episode I share simple tactics that are easy to understand. In fact, you can use this information along with Navigating the Supervision Search: A Comprehensive Guide for Counseling Graduate Students to create a great set of interview questions for a potential supervisor! At the core of this message is a vital attitude shift from passive supervisee to partner in supervision. Participants of the Kate Walker Training 40 Hour Clinical Supervisor Training Course use this same framework to create effective contracts for their future supervisees.This session is an excellent behind-the-scenes look at what goes into a clinical contract and a blueprint for any supervisor looking to follow in these footsteps. My approach to the clinical contract is very practical, so I can't wait for you to hear all about it. The best part is that the tools discussed today can be used at any level, so listen in and enjoy! Get your step by step guide to private practice. Because you are too important to lose to not knowing the rules, going broke, burning out, and giving up. #counselorsdontquit.

If you're a pediatric therapist or service provider, chances are you do some form of “supervising”, whether it's in your job title or not. Part of being an effective clinical leader comes from working as a team and training others to do what we do, so kids can get support across settings. That's why it's important for you to think about how to supervise and mentor others, even if you're not in an official clinical supervision role. That's why in episode 85 of the “Are they 18 yet?®” podcast, I talked about how to navigate clinical supervision in pediatric settings. I share how to create supervision opportunities, even if supervision isn't your primary job responsibility, as well as strategies to use to mentor both new and experienced clinicians.  In this episode, I mention the School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps pediatric therapists create the freedom to deliver services in a way that truly serves kids.

For the better part of a decade Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were one of the most influential couples in pop culture, living their private lives in the public eye. And now that the pair is officially split, they continue to grab headlines.When Kim filed for divorce in February of last year, things at first seemed amicable – in August the couple recreated their wedding on stage at one of Kanye's concerts, and they continue to share parenting responsibilities for their four children. But Kanye wasn't ready to let go, and over the last year, his efforts to win Kim back have become increasingly aggressive. When she started dating SNL star Pete Davidson, Kanye's public displays took on a more menacing tone: he made a music video featuring an animation of himself decapitating the comedian and claimed that he was using art to work through the trauma of his breakup.Kanye has been very vocal about his struggles with mental health, sharing his diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder with the world. His current public displays look to many like the hallmark signs of a manic episode, where a person feels an unnaturally high energy level, excitement, and euphoria for a prolonged period. And many say his behavior toward Kim appears to bullying and harassing, bordering on abuse. (Although to be clear, the majority of people with mental health issues are not violent, and we want to be careful not to equate mental illness with violent or threatening behavior; and there is no evidence that Kanye has been violent.)But the media conversations around Kim and Kanye, and around Kanye's mental health, too often take on a tone of tabloid gossip, rather than tackling the tougher issues of mental health, support, and accountability that their story highlights.This week on Into America, host Trymaine Lee speaks with two Black mental health professionals about Kanye's struggles and mental health in the Black community. Dr. Maia Hoskin is a college professor, activist and writer who holds a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Clinical Supervision. Last month she published a Medium article arguing that Black women shouldn't be expected to “save” or “fix” Kanye's mental health issues. Rwenshaun Miller is a therapist, speaker and award-winning social entrepreneur. His company Eustress, Inc. is focused on raising mental health awareness in the Black community.For a transcript, please visit msnbc.com/intoamerica. Please follow and share the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, all with the handle @intoamericapod. Thoughts?
