This week, we're revisiting a topic & conversion that I've been thinking about a lot lately. I had the opportunity to speak to the public at our local library about Executive Function skills for four different age groups, ranging from early elementary students to adults. In all four groups, we talked a lot about the importance of self-regulation and coping skills to get through challenging times. As we learned from Megan McClelland in the last episode, our ability to persist through challenges is hugely important, even as early as age four. This episode brings our attention specifically to our upper high school students, college students, and young adults. The challenges that teens and young adults face during those years bring all kinds of emotional and logistical hurdles, and having a set of reliable coping tools can make a huge difference in how successful and grounded young people feel during that time.To explore this further, I spoke with Dr. Jackie Wolfman, a therapist based in the Boston area. She teaches her clients coping strategies through DBT—or dialectical behavior therapy. If you're familiar with CBT, or cognitive behavior therapy, DBT is a related approach that also focuses on how our thoughts and behaviors interact. CBT helps people notice and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, while DBT adds tools specifically for managing intense emotions and building practical coping skills. The tools and strategies Jackie shares from DBT are for everyone, regardless of age or mental health needs, so I know that this episode will truly be useful to anyone. I even use these strategies myself!Thank you for listening!

Have you ever felt like you're capable of more, but something keeps holding you back? In this episode, Stephanie Robilio unpacks how unresolved trauma quietly shapes our behaviors, beliefs, and blocks our ability to step fully into our potential. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to self-sabotage and fear of visibility, these survival patterns often stem from unhealed emotional wounds. Stephanie Robilio shares how to recognize trauma's hidden influence, how to begin healing at the root, and why inner safety - not just strategy - is the foundation of lasting growth. With compassion, insight, and actionable steps, this episode is your reminder that healing is possible and your best self is waiting on the other side. Here are three things you can start doing today: Start Journaling: Try this prompt: “What beliefs did I adopt to survive, and are they still serving me?” Create Micro-Safety: Each day, do one thing that affirms your safety to take up space - set a boundary, speak honestly, or rest without guilt.

Have you ever considered sharing a journal with your kids? Sometimes your child may come home and isn't ready to share about your day. Journaling is an opportunity to see how your child views the world while you're living the same moments. It can open up opportunities to be empathetic to situations that you weren't experiencing in the same way. It can create a safe space for questions to be asked, that you weren't aware that they were worrying about. In this episode Katie and Janine discuss:The powerful connection you can build through journalingWhy journaling can be helpful How to set rules for a joint journalHow to start to journal togetherHow to spark a conversations away from a journal How Katie likes to rest and relaxAnd remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!About The Guest - Katie Clemons Katie Clemons is a mom of four, award-winning author, and nationally recognized expert in family connection.

 Shavaun Tucker, LISW, will discuss practical ways to help your child build better coping skills at home and in the classroom. She will also address ways to manage intense emotions and decrease the causes of anxiety. Learn the importance of self-care routines like hydration and sleep in a child's day. 

In this episode, Cindy Esliger discusses the cumulative effect of subtle and not-so-subtle micro-aggressions that build up in us over time. It's the minor incidents like a dismissive glance, an ignored idea, and being overlooked that we shove to the side. But they don't go away. They build up and can have a negative impact on our career without us even realizing it. Cindy explains how we can identify and take charge of these cumulative slighted feelings moving forward.  The unresolved baggage of micro-aggressions layered inside us gets carried around and affects how we view ourselves, behave, and even what we expect of our own achievements. So how do we identify and validate them so we can become stronger? Cindy shares five steps: 1) Name the baggage, 2) Reframe our perspective, 3) Set boundaries, 4) Focus on what we can control, and 5) Find our people.Workplace slights are real and the key isn't learning how to avoid these difficulties, but how to manage them and learn. Cindy calls this building emotional agility. We learn to resolve the stress-creating baggage so we can be free of the triggers. How do we reframe the triggers? 1) Pause and identify, 2) Challenge the association, and 3) Take action. Cindy guides us through the subtly complex world of microaggressions, cumulative baggage, resolution, and letting go in this key episode. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Unpacking the Emotional BaggageAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

This might be why: Some strategies that work great for the short term, don't help in the long run. They might make you feel better in the moment, but they do nothing to resolve your anxiety in the long run. A lot of articles, books, your friends, and even therapists recommend over and over that you learn “coping skills” to deal with anxiety. But coping skills only work in the short term. The most common problem for people like Gwen is they haven't been taught how to implement the long-term skills that actually make your anxiety go down over time, instead of just coping. Long-term treatments can help you get out of crisis mode and into fixing mode. Fixing the leak in the boat takes more effort and time up front, but it addresses the root cause. Instead of endlessly bailing water, you're working to repair the hole so you won't keep ending up in the same situation. This is where cognitive treatments, therapy, or even medication come in—they help you change your relationship with anxiety or reduce its intensity over time. But here's the thing about these long-term treatments–they often don't help in the short term. They sometimes even make you feel worse–at first. Looking for affordable online counseling?

Sometimes it's some of the simple things in your day to day like a game you like to play that remind you of a few strategies and values in life that are helpful to keep you going. In this episode, Janine speaks about the game Stardew Valley and the reminders of life lessons that she holds and was reminded of from playing this video game. She speaks about:Building up Resilience You have to practice to get better at something. The importance of keep going, recognise your strengths but still keep practicing. It's okay if you fail in the process and you can always try again. If you miss a goal that's been set, isn't the end of the world There's always a chance to have another go at it if you miss the chance or don't get it quite right the first time around Have connection moments with others while you're live so you don't miss the moment and can gain skills or new experience from sharing with others Schedule your play and downtime Rest is important. Guard it. Make sure work doesn't interfere with this time. Book in the hangouts with friends, exercise and keep those non-negotiables in this time.

Today, we're diving deep into the realms of creativity, Carl Jung, psychedelics, and mysticism with two incredible guests who are reshaping the way we think about transformation—both personal and collective.First, we have Jessica Tracy, a pioneer at the crossroads of mental health advocacy, psychedelic integration, and healthcare innovation. As the Founder and CEO of The Sage Collective, she's bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern medicine, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in psychedelic-assisted therapy. With nearly two decades of experience spanning group insurance, clinical genetics, and health tech, Jessica is reimagining how we approach healing—one policy, one retreat, and one visionary idea at a time.Joining her is Dr. David A. Salomon, a scholar and educator whose work illuminates the history of ideas, from medieval literature to modern philosophy. A former department chair and director of study abroad at The Sage Colleges, and now the founding director of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity at Christopher Newport University, Dr. Salomon has spent decades guiding students through the labyrinth of knowledge. His books, including The Seven Deadly Sins and An Introduction to the Glossa Ordinaria as Medieval Hypertext, unravel the intersections of literature, religion, and cultural evolution.Together, these two minds bring a fusion of intellect and intuition, structure and spontaneity, history and the cutting edge. So buckle up—we're about to explore the unconscious, challenge the status quo, and unlock the mysteries of the mind.Welcome to the show, Jessica Tracy and Dr. David A.

Join us for an enlightening conversation with special guest Desiree Argentina, a licensed independent clinical social worker, who shares her insightful journey of transitioning to Washington State and the hurdles of obtaining a new professional license. We take a deep dive into the shifting landscape of middle and high schools, especially in the aftermath of COVID-19. With rising violence and behavioral issues among students, the stress on educators has reached unprecedented levels. Together, we unpack the critical need for appreciating and supporting teachers and why their well-being should be a priority for us all, including educators, parents, and mental health professionals.Ever wondered if your coping mechanisms are genuinely helping you or if they're a crutch leading to burnout? We explore the fine line between healthy and unhealthy coping skills, using busyness as a prime example. Understanding what drives our need to be constantly busy—a productive tool or avoidance tactic—can be the key to better mental and emotional health. This discussion equips you with the knowledge to distinguish between adaptive coping strategies that build resilience and maladaptive ones that may only offer temporary relief.Relationships are complex, and the misconception that avoiding conflict preserves them is something we tackle head-on. We believe in addressing issues rather than sweeping them under the rug, as avoidance often leaves unresolved tension. By introducing acceptance and commitment therapy, we highlight the significance of aligning our actions with personal values. Self-awareness and open communication, especially among adolescents, are crucial in recognizing unhealthy dynamics and fostering healthier relationships. Listen in to gain valuable insights into creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.This podcast is meant to be a resource for the general public, as well as fellow therapists/psychologists.

Today, I'm honored to introduce a truly transformative force in the world of psychedelic therapy—Rome Shadanloo. As the founder of Mycology Psychology, Rome has dedicated her life to healing the deep wounds of CPTSD and attachment injuries, blending cutting-edge science with profound compassion.With a degree in holistic psychology from Lesley University and a specialization in psychoneuroimmunology, Rome's work unveils the intricate connections between the mind and body, offering relief for chronic pain rooted in emotional trauma. She has guided over 100 individuals through the integration of psilocybin, 5-MeO-DMT, and MDMA experiences, helping them find clarity, balance, and healing.Rome's approach is as diverse as it is impactful, incorporating internal family systems, reparenting techniques, and quantum healing into her practice. As a certified death doula, she also provides solace and guidance during life's most profound transitions.Her career spans impactful roles, including her time at Proposition 36 rehab facilities, where she supported incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals in moments of urgent crisis. Rome's ability to create space for transformation—whether through therapy, integration, or crisis support—is a testament to her deep commitment to healing at every level.Get ready for an incredible conversation with a healer, innovator, and pioneer in the realms of mind and spirit. Welcome, Rome Shadanloo!Philosophical & Psychological Questions 1. How do you see the relationship between pain and transformation, both in your own journey and in the people you guide? 2. If the mind and body are intricately connected, where do you believe the soul fits into this equation? 3. As a certified death doula, how has your work with end-of-life transitions shaped your perspective on living fully? 4. How do you reconcile the ancient, spiritual roots of psychedelics with the modern, clinical frameworks you use in therapy? 5. In your experience, what is the greatest misconception people have about healing trauma? 6. How does quantum healing challenge or complement traditional psychological models? 7. If trauma lives in the body, do you think the body can also become the greatest source of wisdom?Entertaining & Unique Questions 8. Can you share a moment from your work that felt like pure magic or serendipity? 9. What's the most unexpected lesson you've learned from guiding someone through a psychedelic experience? 10. If your life were a psychedelic journey, what would be its most colorful or profound chapter so far? 11. How would you describe the “personality” of psilocybin compared to 5-MeO-DMT or MDMA? 12. If you could only use one modality—internal family systems, reparenting, or quantum healing—for the rest of your career, which would you choose and why?Emotional & Heartfelt Questions 13. What has been the most rewarding part of helping incarcerated individuals heal through crisis? 14. When someone experiences deep transformation, how does it change you as their guide? 15. How do you navigate the emotional weight of your work, especially in moments of profound vulnerability with your clients? 16. What's a piece of advice you often give to others but find hardest to follow yourself?Novel & Enthralling Questions 17. If you could sit down and share psilocybin tea with any historical figure, who would it be and what would you discuss? 18. Do you think humanity is at the beginning of a collective healing journey, and if so, what role do psychedelics play in it? 19. How has your work in crisis intervention with the formerly incarcerated shaped your views on societal healing and justice? 20. If the integration process is as important as the journey itself, how do you guide clients to carry the lessons of psychedelics into their everyday lives?Poem: CrystasisBetween the clenched jaws of existence,where agony and ecstasy twist like braided serpents,I am shattered into a thousand glistening shards,each one a mirror to the void,each one a hymn to becoming.I drown in a sea of molten glass,its waves licking my flesh with tongues of liquid fire.The agony is erotic in its precision,each crack of my being a lover's whispered demand—“Break. Break again. You are not ready yet.”My soul, a pearl trapped in the oyster's scream,scrapes against the walls of suffering,each wound an incision,each incision a doorway.And yet, I feel it—the promise of light refracted through pain,the promise of rebirth winking behind veils of despair.My heart ignites like wet silk in a wildfire,its rhythm erratic,a chaotic drumbeat of lust and lament.Every pulse is a knife,every knife a kiss from the void.I am devoured by my own becoming,a feast of self upon self,served raw on the altar of transformation.My tears are not water but molten silver,cascading down to cool the furnace of my flesh.Each drop sizzles against my skin,etching maps of torment and ecstasy,guiding me deeper into the labyrinthof my undoing.And there—at the molten core of the chrysalis,in the heart of Crystasis—I am no longer myself.I am the ash and the phoenix,the wave and the cliff it breaks against,the blade and the wound.The paradox becomes my lover.Her lips are both salt and honey;

My guest today, Lyubov Yusufova, stands at the fascinating crossroads of science and spirituality, embodying a rare synthesis of these two worlds. A Doctor of Psychology candidate at the California Institute of Integral Studies—an institution renowned for bridging Eastern and Western wisdom—Lyubov's journey is as groundbreaking as it is profound.Her academic roots run deep, with studies at NYU and Columbia University in behavioral neuroscience. Yet, it was a transpersonal experience in Botswana that shattered the confines of traditional scientific inquiry, propelling her into the uncharted territory of mystical states of consciousness. This path led her to a Kriya Yoga ashram, where she was initiated into an ancient practice designed to awaken the Kundalini and dissolve the veil of ego, what Rumi poetically describes as the barrier between humans and the divine.Lyubov's groundbreaking research on the psychotherapeutic mechanisms of these mystical states has been presented at institutions like Harvard Medical School and the International Science of Consciousness Conference. As a highly intuitive healer, she bridges clinical psychology, ceremonial plant medicine, and mindfulness traditions, redefining the landscape of modern mental health.Today, we delve into her remarkable journey—a journey of breath, ego dissolution, and the transformative power of consciousness.http://linkedin.com/in/lyubovyusufovahttps://www.lyubovyusufova.com/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/

After years of seeking ways to manage the emotional fallout of a traumatic childhood, I finally unlocked the power of a personal "coping kit"—a collection of strategies that are vital for healing. Join us as we uncover the efficacy of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping skills, and how societal norms shape our perceptions of what's healthy. We discuss the importance of distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms and share personal anecdotes on the transformative journey toward self-awareness and emotional resilience. These stories serve as a testament to the importance of naming and understanding emotions to better navigate life's complexities.The episode offers a heartfelt exploration of trauma and the misconception that healing equates to erasure of distress. We confront the complexities of childhood abuse and the ongoing journey toward recovery, with a focus on creating safe environments and recognizing stress through innovative methods, including the therapeutic use of fashion. This chapter in our podcast journey serves as a beacon of hope and understanding for those grappling with their own traumatic past, emphasizing the power of collective voices and shared stories in reclaiming one's narrative and fostering personal empowerment.Our guest, Caitlin Avery, author of "Life of Sin," enriches the conversation with her insights into forgiveness and redemption. Her personal narrative underscores the arduous yet rewarding journey of healing and self-discovery.

The focus today is on understanding how anxiety manifests in our lives and the importance of recognizing these triggers rather than believing that eliminating stress or anxious feelings is the ultimate goal. I emphasize that while we may learn to manage our anxiety through mindfulness and calming techniques, the reality is that stress and anxiety will always be part of life. The key is transforming our responses to anxiety and understanding the underlying thought patterns that fuel these feelings. Anxiety is an emotional response influenced by a multitude of factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental stresses. These aspects often interplay to shape our vulnerability to anxiety disorders. Throughout the episode, I highlight several significant contributors to anxiety, starting with genetics and family history. Research indicates a hereditary component to anxiety, yet it's critical to note that environmental influences play a substantial role too. Our surroundings and familial relationships can shape our mental states, and it's vital to evaluate both genetics and context when considering our anxiety levels. Next, I dive into the role of brain chemistry and how imbalances in neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, can affect our mood regulation, potentially leading to increased anxiety responses. This biochemical complexity underscores the significance of lifestyle choices—prioritizing good health can positively influence our mental state. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we delve into the concept of "triggers" and how they affect our emotions and behaviors (including how they impact binge eating and restricting and body image). Our hosts, Sarah and Stef, share personal anecdotes about feedback on social media (like when people make comments about our clothes or teeth or how we are only in this for ourselves), the psychological and physical responses to being triggered, coping mechanisms, and practical tools. They differentiate between being triggered and being activated, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and time to process intense emotions. The conversation touches on the role of community in managing these reactions and the importance of compassion and presence when dealing with emotional triggers.
