Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill discusses parental PTSD and how a hijacked nervous system can lead to catastrophizing, overgeneralizing, and rumination. If you struggle with parental PTSD, ask yourself: When did I first feel this way before becoming a parent? I sold my home and invested in building a new home with my fiancé, but he didn't contribute financially, and the home was destroyed by a hurricane. Now he's unsure about marriage and wants a prenup. What should I do? I've been married for 43 years. My husband is emotionally avoidant, and two years ago he told me he didn't love me anymore. He's in counseling now, but we haven't been intimate for 30 years. I feel stuck and afraid. Is there hope for our marriage? On Mother's Day, my husband told me he wants a divorce. We have children with special needs and haven't been intimate for 16 years, but I don't want our marriage to end. He's even started improving his appearance. Am I wrong to hold onto hope? When should I expect a call from my boss after being laid off last week? He's also my friend, and I helped him get the job. Should I reach out?

Send us Fan MailFreya Maberley's family are all neurodivergent. Her siblings/parents and grand parents were all undiagnosed. She was diagnosed ADHD at 53, and she is Autistic too, and proud! Her brother is undiagnosed AuDHD and her home growing up was dictated by anger and violence. She was always considered the 'normal" child in the family, but her high sensitivity meant that she became the responsible one, taking on the people pleaser role of the family dynamic.Freya's son is diagnosed AuDHD, dyslexic, dysgraphic. Her daughter undiagnosed AuDHD. Raising them was a constant battle of advocacy, being gaslit by the system, her own struggle to accept the diagnosis.Freya has created a technique called The White Room. A visualization that helps a person reclaim what was lost in interactions with others.  It's a kind of soul retrieval, without needing to be spiritual. It's a very grounded exercise, that once a person knows how to do it, they can do the visualization by themselves. Freya is working as a Therapist (Psychology, Social Work, Counseling and Animal Assisted Psychotherapy) in Victoria, Australia.Insta: @freyas_farm_ballaratFacebook: Freya's Farm: Animal Assisted TherapyTiktok: @freyas_farmSupport the show

Michael interviews Brad Hambrick and Matias Casco discussing ABC initiatives to expand Spanish-language biblical counseling training. Casco, a Honduran living in the Dominican Republic and serving at Santiago Theological Seminary, explains that a 2022 church survey revealed most churches lacked counseling ministries, prompting a one-year, six-module program on key topics like family, marriage, addictions, suffering, and ethics, graduating about 250 students from multiple countries. The seminary is now partnering with ABC to translate Equip to Counsel and related resources into Spanish and provide certification, scholarships, and digital access worldwide, supported by a $100,000 fundraising goal. They announce an August 21–22 kickoff conference in Santo Domingo at Pastor Miguel Núñez's church on “mental health/living with a renewed mind,” featuring Ed Welch, Hambrick, Beth Broome, and Núñez, available for virtual co-hosting.00:00 Conference Wrap Up01:17 Meet Matias Casco02:00 Counseling Needs in DR03:38 How Brad Connected06:02 Designing Church Training08:52 Digital Access Expansion11:31 Funding the Vision13:49 August Conference Launch17:02 How to Register17:59 Final Thanks and AppealEpisode MentionsHelp us translate ETC into Spanish - Donate Oasis Conference Matais talked about - Register Seminario Teologico de Santiago - Seminary information

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc shares how to respond when you feel frustrated. Instead of just expressing frustration, identify what you’re really feeling. Discover the emotional need beneath your frustration and what you need to resolve it. My sister and I are in our 80s and 90s. I’m in counseling, but where do I start to begin healing the broken relationship with my sister? Her ex-husband is dying. I was recently diagnosed with autism at 79 years old. Could autism be contributing to the emotional and psychological challenges I've been working through in counseling? I’ve been committed to personal growth for many years, including participating in Al-Anon. How do I stop procrastinating about cleaning out a room and closet that desperately need attention? I'm in a relationship with someone who has an avoidant attachment style. The pulling away has been extreme; after being apart, he's now returned because of nostalgia. Is there any hope? He refuses counseling.

Send us Fan MailThe fastest way to miss your kids' childhood is to keep telling yourself you'll show up more “when work slows down.” Casey sits down with Korey Cutlip to talk about the moment Korey flipped the switch to become a “Yes Dad,” and what that actually looks like when you're juggling a marriage, three kids in different life stages, and a demanding job. We get specific about time, trade-offs, and why those small “yes” decisions become the memories your kids carry into adulthood.Korey opens up about the values he learned growing up, what he had to relearn as an adult, and why counseling can be one of the strongest moves a dad makes. We dig into humility, honesty, people-pleasing, and the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. If you've ever felt stuck in family dynamics or unsure how to lead at home without letting ego run the show, this conversation offers real fatherhood advice you can use right away.We also follow Korey's career change story from the service industry to construction to buying Regal Auto Care in Auburn, Washington. It's a masterclass in belief, customer service, and telling people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky discusses an article circulating online that asks: Are therapists to blame for family estrangement? About one-third of families believe a therapist influenced the decision. However, most therapists do not encourage family estrangement. Our 24-year-old son is home from college and thinks he can do whatever he wants. We're trying to set healthy boundaries, but he's abusing Adderall and dropped out of college even though he only had two classes left to earn his degree. My 36-year-old daughter is taking medication for depression and was advised by her clinic to distance herself from me. Now she won't let me see my grandchildren, and I just want to spend time with them and have coffee together. Her father was an alcoholic. Besides praying, what can I do to rebuild our relationship? How do I handle my 20-year-old daughter making allegations that her stepfather behaved in sexually inappropriate ways toward her when she was younger? I'm in a Christian courtship. I'm non-denominational, and he's a Pentecostal pastor. I thought it would work because we're both Christians, but after two years, I'm struggling with all of the rules and expectations.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim shares that while speaking last week, he reflected on the Los Angeles fires last year. His brother lost his home. In difficult times, he reminds us that one of the best ways to persevere is to deepen our spiritual roots and stay grounded in faith. My daughter found her 14-year-old son's journal and discovered he wants to change his gender. What can she do? Is my husband right to forbid me from visiting my children or having them come “home” to visit? My husband doesn't want me to have anything to do with my four adult children and grandchildren from a previous marriage. My husband and I would love to have a relationship with our 10 grandchildren, but it seems like they don't want anything to do with us. How do we deal with this? My 10-year-old granddaughter says she likes girls and believes she's therian, meaning she identifies as an animal. She wears ears, a tail, and crawls on the ground. How do I help her?

Most couples never realize they've been believing lies about sex for years.They compare their marriage to Hollywood, social media, or unrealistic expectations and then wonder why intimacy feels disappointing, frustrating, or disconnected. The truth? Many of the "rules" we've been taught about sex are actually the very things keeping us from experiencing the passionate, connected, and fulfilling intimacy we all want.In this eye-opening episode, Nick and Amy expose some of the biggest myths about sex and reveal the truths that can completely transform your intimate relationship.You'll discover why:Waiting until you're "in the mood" may be hurting your sex life.Your spouse can't read your mind (and why that's actually a good thing).Women don't always take longer to become aroused.Sex is far more than just a "want."Talking about sex doesn't kill the mood—it creates better intimacy.Spontaneous sex isn't the only (or even the best) kind of sex....and many more myths that could be holding your marriage back.If you've ever wondered why your sex life isn't where you want it to be, this episode could change the way you think about intimacy forever. Stop believing the myths. Start creating the marriage and the intimacy you've always wanted.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice shares a recent moment when she felt disrespected by one of her children. Instead of reacting, she used the Comfort Circle to create space for connection and understanding. If you're struggling with a child who's disobeying you, use gentle curiosity. I was walking with my friend and noticed she seemed very paranoid. She is involved in ministry, has a son, and believes she is experiencing spiritual warfare, but she won't seek professional help. How can I support her? Why do I still feel so alone, depressed, and sad? I've had counseling in the past for traumatic events like my husband dying unexpectedly 13 years ago, becoming a single mom, and taking care of my mom before she passed away three months ago. My boss often doesn't complete tasks and leaves responsibilities for the rest of us to handle. I feel overwhelmed and upset; what should I do about it?

Dr. LaNail R. Plummer is a visionary mental health expert, educator, speaker, and author dedicated to redefining how minorities are seen, supported, and healed in clinical spaces. Her book, The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women (Jan 2026, Norton & Co), is her first of three serving as both a professional resource for educators and mental health providers, and an accessible guide for Black women looking to heal. For Dr. Plummer, the book is more than theory but a response to a gap witnessed in her entire career; the need for healthcare (especially within mental health) that affirms and reflects the real lived experiences of Black women. Dr. Plummer brings two decades of clinical expertise and lived experience to inform her work. In 2013, she founded Onyx Therapy Group, a mental health organization with a team of 40+ BIPOC counselors and consultants serving Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Louisiana, with an international footprint in South Africa. Onyx's work spans across culturally responsive mental health care, consultation for local and government agencies, executive coaching, mentorship, and even prison reform work. We discuss topics including: Black women can have clinicians that understand how to work with black women Understanding that we are not all the same as our perspectives are different Exploring the stereotypes with black women The importance for black women to be seen and heard Reviewing the messages that you have been taught about black women Countertransference makes every black woman not enjoy the experience of therapy or be willing to give another therapist a chance   SHOW NOTES:   Website: www.onyxtherapy.com Book: The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women IG: @Mahoganysunshine IG: @onyxtherapygroup ____________________________________________ If you have any questions regarding the topics discussed on this podcast, please reach out to Robyn directly via email: rlgrd@askaboutfood.com You can also connect with Robyn on social media by following her on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice shares that she came from a family that did not meet her emotional needs. So with her spouse and children, she tells them that she needs to hear them say they love her. Whenever the people I'm in a relationship with did three things I didn't like, I'd ghost them. So it was three strikes, and they were out. But God spoke to me about how I'd feel if I was on the receiving end. I bought a home, but my neighbors are using Ouija boards and are hostile. If it happens again, I'll probably commit suicide. Why don't you open up in a word of prayer for each show? If I'm talking to someone, I'm going to pray to set the tone for the conversation. Do frequent visits to the cemetery prolong grief? How can I stop drinking? My husband died after 40 years of marriage. He was my compass, and I'm so lost. I feel like I need a personal assistant. Although my husband is still with me, over the past 26 years of his illness, I feel like I will never accept losing my love when the time does come. I feel stuck.

Welcome to another hard-hitting broadcast of Hardcore Christianity on KXXT Christian Radio, hosted by professional counselor Brother Mike from the Arizona Deliverance Center in downtown Phoenix. In this "Filthy Fridays" edition, Brother Mike addresses the modern rise of self-proclaimed apostles and prophets. Grounding his arguments in scripture, he outlines the biblical standards for testing prophecy and examines how the modern prophetic movement often misleads believers with generic promises rather than absolute truth. Dive in to discover how to identify false spiritual fruit, test spiritual claims, and remain anchored in the authentic Word of God. Key Takeaways: The Rise of Marketing-Driven Titles: Why many modern claims of apostleship and prophetic status act as marketing tools rather than genuine callings from God. The Biblical Standard for Prophetic Truth: Exploring the warning from Jeremiah and Matthew's criteria for testing prophets by their spiritual fruits (Matthew 7:15-16). If a prediction fails to come to pass, the prophet is scripturally recognized as false. Supernatural Deception at the End of the Age: Understanding why Jesus warns that end-times false prophets will show real signs and wonders—using actual demonic and satanic power to seduce even the elect (Mark 13:22). The Case of Kenya’s David Owuor: A direct look at how David Owuor's December 2025 prophecy over Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro failed within weeks after a January 2026 U.S. military operation resulted in Maduro's arrest. The Demonic Trap of "Good Words": A strong warning against seeking prophets who only speak flattering, comfortable words rather than delivering difficult biblical truths. Featured Bible Passages: Jeremiah 14:14 – "The prophets prophesy lies in my name..." Matthew 7:15-16 – Beware of false prophets in sheep's clothing. Matthew 24:11-12 – False prophets rising in the end times as iniquity abounds. Mark 13:22 – False Christs and false prophets showing signs and wonders. Luke 6:26 – Woe unto you when all men speak well of you. 2 Peter 2:1 – False teachers privately bringing in damnable heresies. 1 John 4:1 – Believers are commanded to test the spirits to see if they are of God.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill shares about a recent baby shower, where guests were asked to give advice to the mom-to-be. Children learn from their primary caregivers. As parents remain calm and create a safe environment, children learn how to self-regulate. I heard the story that when I was just 18 months old, when my sibling was born, I was sent to live with my grandparents for a few weeks. Is this something I should be concerned about if I have no memory of it? I've been married to a man who has had 15 affairs or more. I'm in my 70s. He still flirts with women and gaslights me. We never resolved our issues, and I'm the one who gets blamed. What does it mean when he says, “I don't know you anymore?” My friend has been involved with women of the night, and I'm worried about it leading to sin. How can I help him? He's living two different lives and even ordered a sex doll.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice asks an important question: What is your default response when you become emotionally dysregulated? While everyone experiences emotional dysregulation, many of us fall into unhealthy coping patterns. Learning to recognize and understand your reactions is the first step toward emotional healing and healthier relationships. What does it mean to be independent in a relationship? When I notice flaws in someone, I completely reject them. I've read a lot about codependency, and my parents were physically and emotionally abusive. I turned down 10 job opportunities in other countries so I could spend more time with my girlfriend.  Now I feel unworthy because she has a successful business, and I don’t have a job.  After two years, she's upset that I haven't proposed. How can I overcome this terrible feeling of unworthiness? My daughter and her husband aren't united in helping my 4-year-old grandson resolve conflict. Instead, my grandson shuts down and holds the entire family hostage while my daughter and son-in-law continue to argue.

Marking his silver anniversary year on Christian radio, professional counselor Brother Mike from the Arizona Deliverance Center returns to the KXXT airwaves with a highly urgent end-times Bible study. In this eye-opening episode, Brother Mike pulls back the curtain on modern technology to show how today's artificial intelligence and digital surveillance are laying the logistical groundwork for the Tribulation. By detailing how everyday tracking from tech giants mirrors the prophesied system of the Antichrist, this message serves as a powerful call for true born-again believers to make major changes and prepare for the Rapture before the Great Delusion takes hold. Key Takeaways: AI and the Antichrist: Why artificial intelligence will serve as the premier logistical tool for the Antichrist—who is likely alive today—to implement global control. Modern Surveillance as the Blueprint: A chilling look at how current tracking systems monitor our digital lives in real-time—including email scanning, real-time location mapping, web-browsing patterns, battery life, and digital purchase receipts. The Living Image of the Beast: An analysis of the Greek word icon in Revelation 13. Brother Mike compares the prophesied animated image of the beast to modern, highly advanced AI humanoids, deepfake technology, and interactive virtual avatars. The Mark of the Beast (Charagma): Understanding the literal translation of charagma as a permanent etching or cut into the right hand or forehead, which superpowered AI algorithms will monitor to regulate all global trade. The Rise of Digital Relationships: How modern AI tools are already replacing authentic human intimacy by creating highly tailored, virtual partners designed to pacify the masses. Featured Bible Passages: Revelation 13 – The prophecy of the False Prophet, the speaking image (icon) of the beast, and the enforcement of the Mark of the Beast (charagma). 2 Thessalonians 2 – The warning of the coming falling away, the revelation of the man of sin, and the powerful "Great Delusion" sent to those who refuse the truth.

In nutrition and health coaching, one of the central challenges is understanding how people actually change, particularly when life is complex, motivation fluctuates, and behaviour is shaped by emotion, identity, environment, and relationships. In this episode, Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon discusses the human skills that underpin effective coaching practice. We discuss the importance of the coach–client relationship, the role of therapeutic alliance, and how concepts from counselling and psychology can be used appropriately within scope of practice.

Caller Questions & Discussion: JJ shares the story of hockey player Claude Lemieux, who recently died by suicide after struggling with sex addiction. JJ then reflects on the story of the woman caught in adultery in the Bible (John 8), reminding us that we're all sinners, and Jesus did not condemn her. My husband has been divorced from his ex-wife for 28 years. She recently texted him and said she is working through Step 9 and wants to make amends. She would like to have a Zoom call with us. How should I respond? How should I prepare? I can't relax. When I don't hear from my 26-year-old son, who struggles with alcohol addiction, I go into panic mode. He has been sober for five months now.” I was molested when I was 9 and struggled with addictions. It was on an emergency room bed that I surrendered to God. Now I've been married almost 37 years. The work you all do is amazing! God is always there with open arms. I called last week to ask whether my daughter should be undressing in front of her 8-year-old son. My daughter listened to your program, and she's going to follow your advice! How can I work from, and not for, my identity in Christ when I work in sales? I'm constantly being judged by my performance.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Fred Bemak and Dr. Rita Chung, two professors who had a profound impact on my personal and professional development. As architects of George Mason University's innovative counseling program, they helped create a learning environment grounded in multiculturalism, social justice, and advocacy. We discuss what brought them to George Mason, the vision behind the program, and why preparing counselors to work across cultures remains as important as ever. This is a special conversation about education, mentorship, and the lasting impact of a program that changed countless lives, including my own.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Becky shares how the apostle Paul wrote Philippians while imprisoned, reminding believers to focus on God even in difficult circumstances. In Philippians 4:8, Paul writes, “Fix your thoughts on what is true…” Becky asks listeners an important question: What is imprisoning you? We went to visit my daughter's new baby and tried to respect their strict boundaries. For example, when I kissed my grandchild, they asked me not to do that. How do I talk to my husband about the distractions in his life, including pornography, that keep him from facing difficult issues? He needs to find a different job, but he spends his time watching TV and viewing porn. My husband and I have been married for 50 years and have seen 10 counselors over the years, but nothing has helped. He has had a successful career as a photographer and insists on posting photos on social media. I've told him that people should sign release forms, but he refuses. What should I do? I've been married for 17 years and am visually impaired, and my wife is blind.  She recently developed serious medical issues, and I had to place her in a care facility. How do I navigate this season? It's difficult, and I miss her deeply.

Biblical counseling is founded on the truth that God's Word provides everything needed for teaching, correction, and training in righteousness. For 40 years, Pure Life Ministries has witnessed men find lasting freedom from deep, dark sin through encountering the Living God in His Word. In this episode, Pastor Jeff Colón explains why God's Word is the answer to sexual sin and why spiritual problems require spiritual solutions.   Resources we mentioned: From Ashes to Beauty (Book) By Jeff Colón A Biblical Guide to Counseling the Sexual Addict (Book) By Steve Gallagher Episode #682 - Human Wisdom Can't Bring the Change You're Looking For (Podcast) By Pure Life Ministries Pure Life Ministries Residential Program How to Minister to Christians in Sexual Sin (Seminar for Pastors and Counselors)   Have Any Questions for Us?

School counselors wear a lot of hats, and we always say one of them is that of an investigator!In this episode of the Counselor Accents Podcast, we sit down with Barbara Ladd, a school resource specialist whose counseling instincts helped solve a decades-old cold case! As counselors, we're constantly gathering information, noticing patterns, asking thoughtful questions, and building trust. Those same skills proved to be the missing piece in a REAL criminal investigation!Join us for a fascinating conversation about the power of observation, curiosity, and putting the pieces together. Learn how the skills you use every day can have an impact far beyond the walls of your school.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jacqui discusses how we often wait for other people to make us feel valued, important, and cared for. If you're waiting for someone else to give you a sense of priority or feeling frustrated because you think someone should have considered your needs, ask yourself: When was the last time you considered you? I've been estranged from my adult daughter for two-and-a-half years. We didn't argue; she just stopped talking to me. She wanted me to help care for her daughters, but she suddenly exploded and screamed at me. I have a history of dissociation and unresolved trauma, and I experience muscle-memory responses connected to those painful experiences. Our bodies naturally try to heal and protect themselves. I was serving in ministry, but my husband was emotionally abusive, and I finally asked him to leave. Why does everything feel so difficult right now? My daughter now has to attend public school, and I feel like my life is falling apart. I've been married for almost 42 years, and we have a blended family. How can I reconnect with my husband without nagging him? We used to have daily devotions together at a set time, but now he won't put his phone away.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim discusses how building walls through defensiveness, denial, isolation, and passive-aggressive behavior can damage our relationships. If you've been putting up walls, it may be time to start tearing them down. Boundaries shouldn’t build up walls; they should build structure. My wife is struggling with severe nerve pain, and we feel like we're not being seen or heard by God. Like Job and the man at the Pool of Bethesda, I know we won't always get answers for the suffering we experience. I'm estranged from my daughter and haven't been able to see my 8-year-old grandson. Should I stop trying to reach out? She hasn't returned any of my calls or texts. My husband of nearly 53 years was raised by a difficult mother and struggles with his mental health and sex addiction. When he sees a woman he finds attractive, he fixates on her for hours.

Send us Fan MailHe walked away from the pulpit because the stress would not let his body rest, then spent the next two decades staring straight at humanity's darkest corners. I'm joined by Eric Robinson, newly retired after 24 years in the FBI, to talk about resilience that's earned, not posted. Eric shares how carrying other people's pain as a solo pastor led to daily headaches, and why choosing a new path was a mental health decision as much as a career move.From there, we trace his unusual transition into federal law enforcement, including how the post 9-11 environment and his background shaped the Bureau's interest. We also get real about maturity and judgment in high-stakes work: what experience gives you, why authenticity matters with first responders, and how a “mask” culture can quietly grind people down.Then we go deeper into the cases that leave a mark: sex trafficking, exploitation, gangs, and the challenge of staying compassionate without being naive. Eric explains why justice can't depend on a “perfect victim,” and he tells a moment from Chicago that re-centered him fast when a kid he judged as a nuisance asked for help getting home. We close with a look at how he approaches interviews and interrogations by building connection and psychological safety to get the truth, not to perform anger.If you care about first responder mental health, trauma-informed leadership, and real-world resilience skills, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Please reach Eric through his website at http://www.preachertobreacher.comDeemedFit: First Responder OwnedWe are a first responder owned company looking to get first responders in the best mental shape.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
