Ridley Scott's "The Counselor" came out in 2013 and the reviews were not kind. With a screenplay by Cormac McCarthy (not too long after his novel for "No Country For Old Men" became an Oscar winning Coen Brothers film), the bleak drug trade morality tale became a punchline from Cameron Diaz's car humping scene and a perceived sense of boredom. Is this movie the steaming pile of crap everyone claimed? Probably, but i wouldn't know, because I watched the directors cut and it's a straight up masterpiece. For whatever reason, Scott released the shorter version, and everyone missed out on the building dread, the thoughtful pauses and the doom oozing from every surface. This movie is very, very good. Everyone in it (except maybe Diaz) is firing on all cylinders and I couldn't possibly recommend this more.Buckle up, y'all. It's time for a visit from...THE COUNSELOR

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the viral Central Park smoochfest between two lawyers was just the tip of the iceberg. The NY Post reveals William “Bill” Savitt, 63, one of the country's leading corporate litigators, and senior partner Sarah Eddy were getting in each other's briefs while working together at white-shoe firm Wachtell Lipton. The "lip-lockers" are reportedly also having an affair, legal sources told The Post. Also audio from CNN bringing President Trump into the "Fauci Foray", accusing Trump in his first term of directing people to drink bleach / the left turns a deaf ear on the Fauci diaries / the proposed Oregon ballot measure to ban hunting failed to qualify for the November 3, 2026, general election ballot / and the political audio cut of the week featuring Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer dodging a reporter's question about the DSA's intent to abolish the Senate.

The ACA Code of Ethics is being rewritten, and if you supervise, teach, manage clinicians, or practice counseling, these changes affect you directly.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bret Hendricks, who served on the ACA Ethics Code task force, to walk through the biggest proposed revisions and what they mean for counselors in real-world practice. We unpack how the profession is moving beyond impairment language into wellness and self-care accountability, why administrative supervision finally has its own ethical framework, and what supervisors need to clarify in their documentation and relationships.We also spend time talking about something I know many supervisors struggle with: role confusion. Clinical supervision, administrative supervision, evaluation, mentorship, workplace expectations, these areas overlap constantly. Dr. Hendricks explains how the revised language pushes supervisors to define boundaries more clearly and revisit those conversations throughout the supervisory relationship.Another major conversation centers around the new expectation for a professional will. Counselors are now being asked to think proactively about records access, continuity planning, and ethical responsibility if practice operations are interrupted.This episode is not about fear or “gotcha” ethics. It is about building stronger systems, clearer communication, and healthier supervision structures that protect both clinicians and clients.In this episode, you'll learn: Why counselor wellness is now part of ethical responsibility  What a professional will is and why supervisors need one  How administrative supervision differs from clinical supervision  Why supervision role clarification matters more than ever  What supervisees should expect from ethical supervision systems If you have ever felt uncertain about supervision boundaries, documentation expectations, or workplace ethics, this conversation will help you think more clearly about the systems supporting your practice.Want to learn more?

This edition of The Neil Haley Show opens with a Celebrity Interviews simulcast from the grotto and actor Nathan Gamble, whose new faith-based comedy Bad Counselors reaches theaters this week. Gamble described a career that ran the classic actor's arc in reverse. His second-ever audition landed him the role of Brad Pitt's son in Babel, a Best Picture nominee, at just seven years old, and steady work followed in The Mist, Marley & Me, The Dark Knight, and both Dolphin Tale films. He explained to Neil, himself a former professional wrestler, how completely his identity fused with the work, so that a stretch without booking left him feeling not like Nathan between jobs but Nathan the failed actor. By nineteen he was living alone in Los Angeles, isolated and at his lowest point, until a series of phone calls from the dean of a Ventura Bible college drew him to visit. The peace and joy he saw in those students, none of whom had the career he prized, unsettled and eventually changed him, and he stepped away from Hollywood for seven years.Gamble framed that stretch through the image of getting the Egypt out of your heart rather than merely leaving Egypt, using the time to loosen his ego's grip on acting until he could say honestly that he would be fine if he never acted again. He worked a long list of ordinary jobs, from newspaper writing to drywall and landscaping to teaching, and found real fulfillment in the conviction that his calling was larger than his career. When he returned, it was not to chase only faith-based films but to be a presence on any set, and he pointed to Kevin Sorbo, alongside whom he has filmed and whose son Braeden Neil has interviewed, as a model of an actor who works constantly without being boxed in. On Bad Counselors, directed by Chris Dowling, Gamble plays Dallas, the youth pastor who senses that two frat brothers posing as camp counselors to work off community service are frauds. He praised a cast that includes Matt Cornett, Ramon Reed, Brec Bassinger, McKaley Miller, Chris Klein, and Missi Pyle, and previewed his co-created project Bible College and the coming film Miracle on the Precipice. Asked the show's signature question, he named loving God and loving people, and being the best husband to his wife Hannah, as the things that matter most.Neil then welcomed author, podcaster, and life coach Jayson Blair for a Criminally Good with Sherrie and Jen simulcast, presented by Storehouse Media Group. Blair spoke candidly about the 2003 New York Times fabrication and plagiarism scandal that ended his journalism career, a bipolar diagnosis that followed, and the long road through the mental health field as a volunteer, clinician, and coach. That work, and a colleague's persistence, led to his podcast The Silver Linings Handbook, named for the film he loves and for his belief that hard-won lessons come through suffering. Blair described interviewing not as a checklist but as following where a guest's heart pulls, building trust so people can be vulnerable, and leaving in the pauses because a silence can reveal more than words. He reframed true crime as human stories about shared suffering, recalling Jill Harrington turning unfathomable loss into something like clay you can build with, and argued that true crime is less a gateway to sensationalism than a gateway to helping. He discussed his memoir Burning Down My Master's House, his Substacks The True Crime Times and The Center Holds, and his conviction that no one should be forgotten in a second death.The hour closes with a GildaGram simulcast where co-host Dr. Gilda Carle, author of Real Men Don't Go Woke, weighs how to handle online negativity and shares that six European countries are pulling tablets from classrooms and returning to printed books, citing drops in reading, memory, and concentration.

Christ has introduced his disciples to the inner workings of the trinity and what must take place in the near future so that God's will might be fulfilled. At the end of our last episode, we had a brief introduction to the Holy Spirit, whom Christ calls “the Counselor.” Today, Jesus says that he must return to the Father, because if he doesn't go away, the Counselor will not come. Later, he explains to his disciples that they will be sad for a while, but their sorrow will be turned to joy, for he will see them again. His disciples we endure hardship and persecution, but Christ encourages them by reminding them to be courageous, for he has conquered the world. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Our church will sent off 137 Kids, 19 Counselors, and 3 Staff members, up to Hume Lake for a life-changing summer camp experience, inviting them all to trust God with their lives. This is what we will talk about in the sermon on the Beach and in The Catalina Room. As kids head up to Hume Lake, we will wrap up our series on the intriguing life of Abraham, focusing on the most difficult test in his life—"sacrifice your son, your only son, the one you love.” How do we trust God when nothing makes sense, about ourselves, our dreams, or God himself? The confusing story is found in Genesis 22:1-18; might I suggest you read it as a story, letting it prod you to ask questions, some of which will not yield answers. The story points to a greater hope.

Jodie Schillinger, executive vice president at Maple Ridge Farms and Counselor's 2026 Woman of Distinction. joins this week's episode of Promo Insiders to discuss mentorship, meaningful leadership and why creating a sense of belonging can transform workplaces, careers and communities.

Main Point: When we truly know God and delight in Him, we encounter full and endless joy. Driving Question: “Who is God and what is He for His people?” God, our Sovereign King (v. 2-4) God, our Inheritance (v.5-6) Jonathan Edwards: “God is the highest good of the reasonable creature. The enjoyment of him is our proper happiness, and is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here: better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any or all earthly friends. These are but shadows; but God is the substance. These are but scattered beams; but God is the sun. These are but streams; but God is the fountain. These are but drops; but God is the ocean.” God, our Counselor (v.7) God, our Savior (v. 8-11) Philippians 3:7-8, 10: But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him... that I may know him and the power of his resurrection…”

In Part 2 of Jenny's conversation with Pastor, Counselor, and Author Jason Butler, you'll hear a remarkable testimony of God's transforming grace. Jason shares how God met him in the midst of multiple addictions and led him on the road to recovery, called him to leave a successful career, and led him into ministry through simple—but costly—obedience. Together we explore what it means to answer Jesus' call, just as Matthew did when Jesus simply said, "Follow Me." We also discuss the powerful account of the Rich Young Ruler and the challenging question that every believer should consider: "Will Jesus know you?" Jason also shares insights from his book, "Will Jesus Know You? :The Blueprint to Mold Your Heart to the Heart of the Father!" , along with what God has been teaching him in the quiet seasons of life—those moments when our faith is often deepened the most. If you've ever wondered whether God is asking you to take a step of faith, or if you're longing to know Him more deeply, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart and challenge you to trust Him more fully. Jason has a teaching podcast, "Will Jesus Know You?" and his book is available online and at major retailers.

For years, Hollywood executive Chris Fenton helped American studios chase the Chinese market — inserting pro-Beijing messaging into films, moving production offshore, and teaching China's own industry how to compete. Now he regrets it. Fenton joins Newt to explain how 60% of American film and TV production has moved overseas, costing Los Angeles alone more than 40,000 jobs, and why the US is the only major film-producing nation without a federal production incentive. His answer: Bad Counselors, a 100% American-made comedy — American cast, crew, and financing — shot in North Carolina, Tennessee, and California, hitting theaters nationwide July 22nd. Fenton also makes the economic case for a national film production incentive backed by a bipartisan congressional coalition, arguing that a simple 10% federal rebate could cut offshore production nearly in half and restore Hollywood's American identity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When society says "it's just a pet," Beth Bigler says "your grief is valid and profound."As a double-certified Pet Loss Grief Counselor and founder of Honoring Our Animals, Beth is a pioneering voice in pet loss support, offering personalized care to individuals and families before, during, and after their beloved's transition. After the sudden death of her soulmate cat Arnie, she transformed her loss into a mission they began together: guiding guardians to honor their grief, connect with their beloveds, and integrate loss into their lives.Beth is the author of Honoring Our Animals: 365 Meditations for Healing After Pet Loss (Quarto/Wellfleet Press, 2025), the first daily grief companion created specifically for pet guardians, available worldwide and a go-to resource for therapists, veterinary clinics, and animal care organizations. Her second book is forthcoming from HarperCollins in 2027.

Find her on Instagram @honoringouranimals.In this episode, we discuss the complexity of pet loss and grief that can follow. We discuss the societal judgment around grieving animals, why grief does not need to be justified or compared, and why loss of a pet can feel more painful than other losses for some.We hold space for the valid, complex emotions that can come with pet loss and remind listeners that there is no "one right way" to grieve. We touch on the beauty of bonding more deeply with certain animals and discuss the guilt that can arise when bringing a new pet after a loss. In addition, we discuss being able to hold space for both grief and love at the same time.We hope this episode can provide support, validation, compassion, understanding, and hope for those who need it.FOLLOW BETH:INSTA: @honoringouranimalsWEBSITE: www.honoringouranimals.comBOOK: Honoring Our Animals: 365 Meditations for Healing after Pet Loss STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveTHREADS: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

In this episode of The Intentional Clinician podcast, host Paul Krauss MA LPC interviews Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona about her personal and professional expertise in anxiety and panic attacks, exploring how her own experiences with fear-based struggles have shaped her compassionate, research-based approach to helping others. Dr. Z candidly shares her journey of being someone whose behaviors were shaped by anxiety-from overthinking relationship decisions to second-guessing everyday choices like purchases and wardrobe selections-and how these experiences give her unique insight into working with overachievers and overthinkers who get stuck in "playing-it-safe" behaviors. The conversation delves into her Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework, which provides actionable skills to help people recognize how fear and anxiety can hijack their daily lives in unlimited ways, teaching them to stop avoiding discomfort and instead take value-driven action toward what truly matters to them, transforming anxiety from a barrier into a catalyst for courageous living. Dr. Patricia Zurita Ona  known as Dr. Z, is a psychologist originally from Bolivia who has been living and practicing in the Bay Area for over 20 years, with more than 18 years of clinical experience specializing in anxiety-based struggles. She is the Director of the East Bay Behavior Therapy Center and was nominated as a Fellow of the Association of Contextual Behavioral Science in 2019, recognition for her expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr. Z has delivered a TEDx talk titled "Stop Playing-it-Safe and Start Living!" that has garnered over 265,000 views, published seven workbooks on anxiety, and developed the Playing-it-Safe Questionnaire to help individuals identify their fear-based behavioral patterns. She works primarily with overachievers and overthinkers across all age groups, helping them break free from ineffective playing-it-safe actions so they can engage in what works, what matters, and what they genuinely care about through her therapy practice, online courses, and published resources.

Michael interviews new exhibitor Dr. Jeffrey M. Kelly, a full-time biblical counselor and former church planter, and David Driskill, a veteran software developer and Care Assist Pro's CTO, about their platform (careassist-pro.com). They explain that Care Assist Pro was built to address the shortage of soul care in local churches by reducing counseling roadblocks and increasing counselor confidence through secure, HIPAA-compliant tools such as note organization, encrypted communication, built-in video conferencing with transcripts, summaries, and AI-driven feedback on counseling skills over time. They emphasize AI is never the counselor but a tool with biblical guardrails, using a curated RAG knowledge base of about 800 documents (e.g., ACBC, CCF, ABC, Counseling Coalition) and features like notebooks, multilingual outputs, and training “personas” for seminary practicums and skill development.00:00 Conference Introduction01:02 Meet the Guests01:16 Dr Kelly Background01:48 David Driskill Tech Story03:09 How Care Assist Began05:49 Redemptive Use of AI08:31 AI Training Practicum11:19 Notebooks Language Features15:30 Guardrails Not Replacement19:58 Counselor Growth Analytics23:57 Who Its For Pricing26:50 Final Encouragement WrapEpisode MentionsCheck out Care Assist Pro 

Something goes wrong in bed and gay men immediately blame desire, performance, or themselves. Sex educator and trauma specialist Fran Frye says they're diagnosing the wrong problem. The real issue is the nervous system — and most men have no idea it's running the show. Rick and Fran dig into the five nervous system responses that hijack sexual experiences, why porn is an idea not a manual, and how shame quietly replaces honest communication for gay men over 40. This is not a conversation about dysfunction. It's about finally understanding what your body has been trying to tell you. Key Takeaways: Why "erectile difficulties" are almost always psychological, not physicalHow fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and fuck responses show up during sexThe difference between consent and compliance, and why it mattersWhy gay men struggle more than most with saying noWhat emotional literacy actually looks like in an intimate encounterHow to pause high arousal states before they run the show About Fran Fran Frye works at the intersection of sexuality, trauma, and compassion, with a particular focus on supporting men as they unpack their sexuality within a patriarchal culture that often labels them as dangerous, defective, or emotionally closed off. She helps dismantle these narratives through curiosity, empathy and practical tools that foster healthier relationships with the body, partners and self. A certified Sex Educator, Counselor, and Clinician trained in compulsive sexual behaviors, Fran is also a somatic sex practitioner. Her work spans sexual shame, trauma, grief, relationship rupture and body disconnection, grounded in both professional training and lived experience as a sexual assault survivor, former military spouse, and athlete. Beyond her professional work, Fran is deeply committed to service. Over the years she has volunteered in several areas of crisis and community support, including suicide prevention, rape victim's advocacy, human trafficking prevention, and serving as a rape crisis hotline operator. She has also contributed to efforts addressing food scarcity, sits with hospice patients in their final chapters, and supports Veterans and their families. These experiences have brought her into close contact with trauma, grief, courage, and resilience - insights she carries directly into the compassionate, grounded way she supports others.

  Meg and Carrie are back for a fired-up part two on the topic that got them riled up last episode: compulsive lying.   In this candid Got HER Back Monday conversation, the hosts break down the difference between harmless white lies and the dangerous, manipulative kind: the pathological liars who are so charming and "godly" on the surface that no one questions them, until you've already lived a lie for years. They dig into where compulsive lying comes from (learned behavior, childhood chaos, or genetics), the real-world stakes of lying in a court of law, and the red flags to watch for in dating, from secret double lives to mysteriously replaced cell phones.   Plus, the receipts: why Carrie has never deleted a text since 2005 and what 94,000 screenshots can do for your peace of mind. If gaslighting has ever made you question your own reality, this honest, funny episode is your reminder to stand on the facts — and to leave the liars behind in 2026.   Chapters: 0:00 Cold Open: Standing on Facts 0:35 Got Her Back Monday & a Birthday Shoutout 1:30 Southern Comfort Food (and Cason's Review) 3:40 Why We Needed a Part Two on Lying 4:30 Is Compulsive Lying Learned or Genetic? 6:00 A Counselor's Take: It Starts in Childhood 7:00 Why Liars Are So Charming 8:00 White Lies vs. the Lies That Scare You 10:00 When They Double Down on the Evidence 11:00 Fact-Checking & Setting Boundaries 12:00 Lying in Court & Why You Stand on Facts 12:30 Never Delete a Text: Keeping the Receipts 13:30 Gaslighting & "Am I Crazy?" 15:30 Red Flags: Double Lives & Burner Phones 16:30 The 94,000 Screenshots 18:00 Taco Bell or Taco Bueno? 19:00 No Liars in 2026

Rex Heuermann confessed privately to his own family in a room where an unlicensed therapist was sitting in. Allison Winter counseled Heuermann and his family for nearly three years inside the Suffolk County Jail, present around the time of that confession, and she's now facing eighteen felony charges for allegedly practicing without a license and billing insurance for more than sixty thousand dollars.We get into the legal weeds on this one with Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor and current defense attorney. First question: does therapist-patient privilege even apply if the therapist was never legitimately licensed to begin with? Faddis walks through why that confidentiality question might not be as simple as it sounds, and what it could mean for Heuermann if he ever wanted to challenge what came out of those sessions.Then there's the plea itself. Heuermann already pled guilty, and Faddis explains why that decision makes any appeal built around Winter's lack of licensure an uphill fight — appellate courts give far less weight to complaints raised after a guilty plea than after a trial verdict. We also break down the insurance fraud angle, why prosecutors tend to treat cases involving manipulation of real people more seriously than simple paperwork fraud, and whether Winter could be exposed to civil lawsuits from anyone connected to the case.This is one of the stranger side stories to come out of the Heuermann saga, and it raises a real question about how these institutions vet the people who get closest to their highest-profile inmates. We walk through the charges, the legal exposure, and what happens next.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
