Send us a textThis man talked 200+ people back from the edge—and he never once said he "saved" them.Kevin Briggs isn't your typical hero. The "Guardian of the Golden Gate Bridge" spent 23 years as a California Highway Patrol sergeant kneeling beside strangers who'd lost all hope, no formal training at first—just raw humanity and a philosophy that changed everything: Listen to understand, not to fix.His record? 99%+ success rate. FBI-trained crisis negotiator. TED Talk speaker. Author. Global mental health advocate. This conversation will rewire how you think about suicide, mental health, and what it actually takes to save a life.Alison sits down with Kevin after losing her own husband to suicide. Two people who've lived the devastation and refuse to let it win.Together they pull back the curtain on:-Kevin's battlefield resume: Survived testicular cancer at 20 (37 of 45 lymph nodes cancerous), childhood sexual abuse, three heart surgeries, motorcycle crashes, PTSD nightmares, and family lost to suicide. -The suicide stats that'll gut you-What actually works on the bridge-Kevin Berthia's story:22-year-old adopted man. Mental illness. Baby born premature with $250K hospital bill. Lost both jobs. Felt like a total failure. Jumped over the rail before Kevin could stop him but Kevin YELLED and Kevin grabbed the rail mid-air, landed on a tiny pipe 220 feet up.-Jason Garber's story:Highly intelligent. Well-versed in religion, philosophy, sports. No substance abuse. Despite Kevin's best efforts, Jason jumped.-The false peace that kills-Therapy truth bombs:Kevin went to therapy with his son who had suicidal thoughts. The therapist WASN'T TRAINED in suicide assessment. Not all mental health professionals are qualified.-Why intelligent minds break harder:Alison and Kevin unpack why brilliant people are at higher suicide risk. -Alison's redemption mission:Lost her husband to suicide. Transformed that soul-crushing loss into a lifeline for others.-Post-traumatic GROWTH-Faith that heals---

Post-traumatic growth gets talked about like a mindset shift, but real change often starts somewhere else: the nervous system. In this episode, we explore why being around happy people can feel threatening, why "find the silver lining" pressure can lead to bypassing, and why growth is not the same as rushing to meaning. We also unpack the other trap: getting stuck in a healing loop that keeps re-entering the pain without creating new patterns. If you have ever felt ashamed for not "moving on" fast enough, this conversation offers a different map. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof (founder of BrainBased.com) and Jennifer Wallace (Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide) are joined by Matt Bush (Next Level Neuro, lead educator at NSI). Together, they break down what post-traumatic growth is (and is not), why connection and co-regulation are essential to healing, and how safety, repetition, and nervous system capacity create the conditions for authentic transformation. Timestamps: 00:00 Why "silver lining" pressure can trigger bypassing, and why happy environments can feel unsafe 06:30 What post-traumatic growth is (and what it is not), including the "toxic positivity" trap 14:30 Why trauma isolates, and why relational healing and co-regulation matter for recovery 23:30 Social bonding as a survival strategy: oxytocin, group rhythms, and threat reduction 34:30 Discernment in community: how to titrate connection and track nervous system outputs 45:00 Neuroplasticity and integration: why insight alone rarely rewires survival patterns 56:00 Practical integration for practitioners: frameworks, tools, and daily repetition for change   Key Takeaways: Post-traumatic growth is not about forcing gratitude or meaning. It often emerges after safety and capacity return to the body. Trauma can make connection feel dangerous, even when connection is what the nervous system needs to heal. "Good advice" can still be harmful when it is delivered before the nervous system is ready, especially around forgiveness and resilience. Healing can get stuck in two loops: performative "I am fine" masking, or compulsive re-processing that repeats intensity without building new patterns. Tracking outputs (sleep, digestion, pain, mood stability, compulsions) can reveal whether a practice is supporting regulation or creating more dysregulation.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 356, “Becoming Whom You Worship,” Kim discusses the importance of choosing wisely what or whom we devote our reverence, focus, and energy. In today's passage, we see that the idolatrous Israelites' worship of worthless idols led to them becoming like what they worshipped. Yet, just as worshipping an unworthy object can turn us into what we worship, we can also become more like Christ when we choose to bow down and worship Him.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:5-15, with 15 as the focal verse:   15 They rejected his decrees and the covenant he had made with their ancestors, and they despised all his warnings. They worshiped worthless idols, so they became worthless themselves. They followed the example of the nations around them, disobeying the Lord's command not to imitate them.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   If you become whom you worship, who will you be? Would you be proud to be that person?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   "What people revere, they resemble, either for ruin or for restoration.” (G. K. Beale) 4 Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. 5 They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. 6 They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell. 7 They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound. 8 And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them. (Ps. 115:4-8) 16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. (2 Corinthians 3:16-18) 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

On a quiet winter afternoon in Bogota, New Jersey, Patricia “Patty” Viola stepped out of her home and vanished. No forced entry. No sign of struggle. Nothing left behind but silence — until years later, when the river returned part of her story. This isn't a case about villains lurking in the shadows. It's about the invisible weight people carry, the questions that haunt families, and the quiet breaking points we almost never see coming. Sometimes, the devil within isn't outside the door. It's inside us. In this episode, we revisit Patricia's final known moments, the search that stretched on for years, the discovery that reopened old wounds, and the deeper truth hiding beneath the surface — grief, mental health, and the human need for answers that may never fully arrive. This is not sensational. It's human — and that may be the hardest part. ❗ If you or someone you love is struggling Please reach out. In the U.S., dial or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Or watch your kid erupt in fury, choking back "stop it" knowing shutdown just fuels the fire?

It's New Year's Eve, and if you're feeling anything other than excited, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you.This isn't your typical "new year, new you" pep talk. It's for the trauma survivors who are exhausted by the pressure to transform, who feel like they're failing because they didn't have some massive breakthrough this year, or who are just relieved the dumpster fire of 2025 is over.In this episode, I talk about why New Year's can be so hard when you're healing from complex trauma, why your nervous system doesn't care about artificial timelines, and what actually supports healing (spoiler: it's not punishing yourself into productivity).I also get real about my own year, what I'm hoping for in 2026, and the moment I realized I've been so busy overfunctioning that I don't even have hobbies.Plus, a sneak peek at what's coming in 2026: narcissism in families, religious trauma, emotional neglect, dissociation, and betrayal trauma.Whatever you're feeling tonight, it's allowed. You're allowed to be exactly where you are.Happy New Year....Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast! Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

You can have the most mind-blowing healing experience of your life and still find yourself right back in familiar patterns. Why? Because the nervous system defaults to what it knows. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore why insight alone does not create lasting change and why the most intense healing experiences do not start in the mind, they start in the body. Co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof, founder of BrainBased.com and the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification, and Jennifer Wallace, Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide, unpack peak somatic experiences through a trauma-informed lens. Together, they examine how experiences like breathwork, somatic practices, and psychedelics interact with neuroplasticity, interoception, and complex trauma. They also name an often-missing piece of the conversation: these experiences are not inherently healing without preparation, capacity, and integration. This episode offers a grounded, nuanced discussion of why peak somatic experiences can be both transformative and destabilizing, especially for nervous systems shaped by chronic stress, dissociation, or developmental trauma. Rather than promoting quick fixes or heroic doses, Elisabeth and Jennifer emphasize nervous system safety, minimum effective dose, and relational support as essential ingredients for real, embodied change.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Why insight alone does not create change 05:40 – What peak somatic experiences are and are not 14:20 – Neuroplasticity, psychedelics, and the default mode network 28:10 – Somatic memory, dissociation, and complex trauma 44:30 – Why preparation and integration matter more than the experience itself 58:45 – Risks, discernment, and trauma-informed support 1:12:30 – Capacity building and minimum effective dose 1:24:00 – Integration, regulation, and long-term nervous system change Key Takeaways: Peak somatic experiences amplify existing nervous system patterns rather than replacing them. Neuroplasticity is neutral and requires direction, support, and integration. Somatic memory often surfaces without narrative recall, especially in complex trauma. Preparation and capacity determine whether an experience is healing or destabilizing. Lasting change happens through consistent, embodied integration, not one-time breakthroughs.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 355, “We're Not Graded on a Curve,” Kim discusses the dangers of Christ-followers comparing their walk to others. In today's text, we see the story of someone who did evil, but his evil was not as bad as others. May we get our eyes on Christ, the only example we should be chasing, and get off the comparison wheel.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:1-4, with 2 as the focal verse:   2 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, but not to the same extent as the kings of Israel who ruled before him.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Spend a few prayerful minutes reading Matthew 5-7.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48) 1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1) 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8) 8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Send us a textEver wake up sweating from those old nightmares—racing to lock doors in your childhood home that never felt safe, danger closing in no matter how fast you move? Or slump against a cold coliseum wall after your big win turns to dust, family up in the stands not even checking on you, that heavy "I'm done" settling in your chest? We've all got those body-stored memories from growing up—messy houses full of chaos, highs crashing to burnout, quiet wonders if we even steer our own lives.Alison & Matt get real about turning pain into power, no movie fluff needed. They share how to spot your quiet impacts and turn despair right around—no fancy stuff, just real talk.You'll walk away with:-Angels pleading "We gotta help him" like desperate friends—because your absence leaves a hole no one fills-Imagine your hurt on a movie screen, step in like a loving parent hugging scared little you, and rewrite that ending-Track your daily wins: That employee you saved from the edge, pet cuddles, cashier smiles—you touch lives without knowing-Christmas real talk: Ditch "poor me" vibes; "being alone isn't the tragedy—it's how you think about it."​For tired parents beating themselves up, dreamers questioning worth, anyone staring down shadows. It doesn't get easier—it gets meaningful when you own your spot.

Send us a textThe subject of today's episode is one we usually avoid in polite conversation, and honestly, I have never heard it addressed from the pulpit. We're talking about the decision to take one's own life, suicide. I know that just saying the word can cause a tightening in the chest. But we have to talk about it, because 1 Samuel 31 very clearly ends with King Saul taking his own life.If you, or if you know someone is struggling, I want you to hear me clearly: There is hope. Before you go any further, I want you to write a number down. Put it in your phone. In the US, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is 988. In the UK, it's an organization called The Samaritans, and you can call them free on 116 123 They're free, it's confidential, and it's available 24/7.

Integration is often treated as something that happens after a breakthrough — once insight, therapy, or a peak somatic or psychedelic experience is complete. But what if integration is actually the skill that determines whether healing lasts at all? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace explore integration as a nervous system process, not a mindset shift. Drawing from Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI), lived experience, and years of trauma and integration work, they unpack why powerful insights so often fade — and why the body, not the mind, decides what sticks. The conversation examines nervous system capacity, preparation, and neuroplasticity, explaining how survival patterns can override even profound experiences when the body isn't resourced to receive them. They discuss emotional and somatic breakthroughs, dissociation, the overlooked role of the body in psychedelic research, and why the "space after" healing experiences can feel disorienting without support. Rather than chasing peak moments, this episode reframes healing as an embodied practice — one built through repetition, regulation, intuition, and daily nervous system support so new ways of being can truly take root. Timestamps: 00:00 Integration as a buzzword — and why it's misunderstood 05:30 Integration as a nervous system skill, not a mindset 12:40 Why breakthroughs fade and survival patterns take over 20:15 Capacity, preparation, and why insight can overwhelm the body 28:50 Neuroplasticity, repetition, and what you get better at 38:10 Emotional breakthroughs, dissociation, and somatic journeys 48:30 Psychedelic experiences, embodiment, and what research misses 58:45 The "space after" healing — identity shifts and disorientation 1:07:30 Worthiness, intuition, and integrating truth into daily life 1:18:00 Why healing takes time — and what it means to give time space 1:25:00 Closing reflections on integration as a way of being Key Takeaways: Integration is not a cognitive process — it is how the nervous system learns to embody insight through repetition, regulation, and safety. Capacity determines whether an experience lands, overwhelms, or gets overridden by survival patterns. Preparation is essential for psychedelic and peak somatic experiences; without it, neuroplasticity can reinforce old patterns instead of creating change. Emotional and somatic breakthroughs require nervous system skill, especially for those with dissociation or long-standing protective responses. Healing often creates space before clarity — integration is choosing what fills that space next. Lasting change happens slowly, through daily practice, nervous system support, and honoring intuition rather than chasing intensity.

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Bob shares a terrifying firsthand encounter that haunted him for over 50 years. In 1972 near Westerville, Ohio, a teenage walk along railroad tracks and wooded clearings turned into a life-altering nightmare when Bob came face to face with two massive Bigfoot-like beings.What began as a quiet nighttime trip quickly escalated when one creature stood upright in a clearing under a full moon—and another, far larger, charged from the woods, crashing through trees and paralleling Bob all the way back to the road. Bob describes the encounter as intelligent, intentional, and deeply aggressive, leaving him with lasting PTSD, fear of the woods, and decades of silence.Listener Disclaimer:This episode includes discussion of trauma, suicide, and suicidal thoughts.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 354, “No One Can Keep You from God,” Kim discusses the attempt of King Ahaz to shut down all access to God. Kim encourages listeners who are Christ-followers to celebrate their eternal access to God. Because of our great High Priest, we can go boldly to God…but do we?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 28:20-27, with 22-25 as the focal verses:   22 Even during this time of trouble, King Ahaz continued to reject the Lord. 23 He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus who had defeated him, for he said, “Since these gods helped the kings of Aram, they will help me, too, if I sacrifice to them.” But instead, they led to his ruin and the ruin of all Judah. 24 The king took the various articles from the Temple of God and broke them into pieces. He shut the doors of the Lord's Temple so that no one could worship there, and he set up altars to pagan gods in every corner of Jerusalem. 25 He made pagan shrines in all the towns of Judah for offering sacrifices to other gods. In this way, he aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of his ancestors.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Given that nothing can stand between you and God, be honest—how frequently do you come confidently before His throne?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. 16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

New York has become the latest state to legalize assisted suicide — framing it as compassion, dignity, and personal freedom. But beneath the language of care lies a dangerous shift: the state now authorizes death as a solution to suffering. On today's episode, we examine New York's new law, the strong warnings from Catholic leaders and disability advocates, and why Scripture consistently teaches that life — even in suffering — is sacred and belongs to God alone. We also look at Canada's experience as a cautionary tale of how “guardrails” erode once the line is crossed.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Bud Kraus, creator of the podcast Seriously Bud, for a real conversation about living with chronic depression, seasonal affective disorder and suicidal ideation. Bud shares what “silent suffering” looked like for him, why so many people mask pain with humor and what actually helped him move one day at a time. They talk about practical coping tools, getting support without shame, the role of counseling and medication and how purpose and family can shift your relationship with mental health over time. If you're navigating depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts or emotional burnout, this episode focuses on grounded support, honest language and why asking for help is a strength at any age. About the Guest: Bud Kraus is a long-time educator and creator in the WordPress community and the host of Seriously Bud, a human-story podcast exploring life journeys, resilience and reinvention. He speaks openly about his experience with depression and suicidal ideation and how support systems, creativity and meaning helped him move forward. Key Takeaways: Depression can be chronic and still invisible. Bud describes how people often use a “happy face” while privately struggling with mental health. Seasonal shifts can amplify symptoms. He names winter and shorter days as a trigger pattern tied to seasonal affective disorder. Normalize asking direct questions. A pivotal moment came when someone finally asked Bud if he had suicidal thoughts, helping him realize those thoughts aren't “normal” for most people. Progress is usually a small pivot, not a miracle moment. Bud points to finding a trusted professional and structured support as a turning point. Coping can be practical and personal. For Bud, playing guitar created short-term relief and mental transport when the day felt unmanageable. Medication and therapy can be part of a healthy toolkit. He frames both as support options, not moral judgments. Purpose can return later than you expect. Bud ties healing to relationships, family and future joy that felt impossible during darker seasons.

Send us a textEver feel like you're racing through the day, only to crash at night wondering "What did I even accomplish?" You're not alone. Alison gets it too. She shares her real struggles with feeling "all over the place," visionary overwhelm, and that nagging voice saying you're not enough. But here's the good news: simple end-of-day habits can quiet the chaos and help you own your peace.In this honest solo episode, Alison wraps 2025 with heart-on-sleeve honesty. She admits her struggles with visionary restlessness and outcome obsession, then lists practical end-of-day rituals like writing wins, gratitude, and speaking to your body.You'll discover:- Write down your daily wins. See what you really accomplished, even on chaotic days.- Turn regrets around: Ask "What would I do differently tomorrow?" instead of beating yourself up.- Start gratitude with "this moment," and appreciate fully: "What we do not appreciate does not exist."- Thank your body, talk to your cells, organs, legs—to end self-bullying and ease pains.- Skip the crowd: "Don't do what everybody else is doing" to beat mediocrity.- Morning habit: Write 1/3/5/10-year goals, affirmations, and cherish your breath.

You set a boundary. They ignored it. You repeated yourself. They pushed again. And by the fourth time, you weren't calmly redirecting anymore, you were yelling, crying, or walking out. Now you're sitting with shame, wondering if all that therapy was pointless.In this episode, I answer a listener question about what to do when family members repeatedly violate your boundaries during holiday gatherings. I talk about what's actually happening in your body when boundaries get crossed (spoiler: you're not choosing to lose your temper, you're in a survival response), why family systems resist your boundaries so hard, and the difference between a boundary and a request (this one's huge).In this episode, we cover:What happens in your nervous system when boundaries get violated repeatedlyWhy your family pushes back so hard when you start setting limitsThe difference between boundaries and requests (and why this matters)How family roles (peacekeeper, scapegoat, parentified child) affect boundary violationsSix practical strategies to protect yourself at Christmas gatheringsWhat to do if you lose your temper again (because it might happen)Why losing your temper doesn't erase your healing workResources mentioned:Free Dysregulation SOS ToolkitHave a question for the podcast?Head to www.yourcomplextrauma.com/contact to record your question.

When Jennifer was asked how she felt getting her cancer diagnosis, her first word was not "scared," it was "shame." If you have ever felt like your emotions are too much, or you started processing feelings only to end up in pain, fatigue, or shutdown, this second part of our emotional expression series is for you. In part two of this essential two-part series on emotional health and post-traumatic growth, Co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof (founder of BrainBased.com) and Jennifer Wallace (Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide) are joined again by Applied Neurology Expert and NSI Educator, Matt Bush of Next Level Neuro. Building on Part 1's conversation about anger, they explore how grief, shame, and positive emotions show up in the nervous system. You will hear real client stories where simple drills or balance work brought repressed emotions to the surface, why grief can feel like "phantom limb pain" for the brain, and how shame is intertwined with freeze responses and the inner critic. The trio shares minimum-effective-dose practices for grief, anger, and even joy, so emotional expression becomes regulating instead of destabilizing and opens the door to genuine post-traumatic growth. Timestamps: 00:00 — Diagnosis, shame and "too much" emotion 06:40 — When drills and bodywork unexpectedly unleash rage or tears 16:20 — Emotional expression that leads to pain, migraines or shutdown 24:45 — Grief as "phantom limb pain" and how loss impacts the body 35:10 — Chronic pain, bracing patterns and emotional repression 44:30 — Shame, freeze and the inner critic's "always and forever" story 58:00 — Minimum-effective-dose grief work and nature as co-regulator 1:09:30 — Making joy, pleasure and intimacy safe for the nervous system 1:19:30 — Daily neurosomatic practice, post-traumatic growth and closing reflections Key Takeaways: Emotional expression can bring on protective outputs like pain, fatigue, inflammation or shutdown when the body does not yet feel safe. Grief often functions like phantom limb pain: the brain must remap after a loss, which can show up in mood, immunity and body sensations. Shame and freeze are tightly linked; the inner critic's absolute "I am / I'll never" language reflects threat perception, not truth. Minimum-effective-dose practices for anger and grief, wrapped in front- and back-end regulation tools, help the nervous system learn that expression is safe. Positive emotions such as joy, pleasure and intimacy can also feel threatening and benefit from being approached in small, titrated doses that build capacity.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 353, “When God Humbles You,” Kim discusses the choices we make daily, either to humble ourselves before God or experience consequences orchestrated by God to humble us. In today's text, we encounter the latest events in the life and rule of King Ahaz of Judah. Not only did he not humble himself before the Lord, but he was “utterly unfaithful to the Lord” and “encouraged his people to sin.” Let's learn from his poor choices and live daily in humble submission to the Lord and His plans.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 28:16-19, with 19 as the focal verse:   19 The Lord was humbling Judah because of King Ahaz of Judah, for he had encouraged his people to sin and had been utterly unfaithful to the Lord.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Which would you choose — humble yourself before the Lord OR have Him humble you because of your sin?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   2 Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands. 3 Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord…16 He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good. (Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 16) 1 It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. 2 Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 They were calling out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven's Armies!     The whole earth is filled with his glory!” 4 Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke. 5 Then I said, “It's all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord of Heaven's Armies.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7 He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.” 8 Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.” (Isaiah 6:1-8) EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

In this Healthy Waves conversation from the Healthy Mind By Avik™ ecosystem, host Sana and guest Kristen Crabtree deconstruct the usual script on mental health, mental strength and resilience. They unpack what happens when you are praised for holding everything together while silently disappearing behind roles like good wife, good mother, good employee. Kristen shares how 22 years in a psychologically abusive marriage, a bipolar diagnosis and trauma therapy in 2021 forced a complete reboot of her inner operating system. Together they explore how real mental strength starts with identity excavation. Not more grinding, but finally hearing your own voice under family rules, cultural conditioning and performance masks. They talk about privilege and survival, why telling people to just align with their true self can sound unrealistic for single parents and people in unsafe situations, and why boundaries can be a pragmatic first step when you have zero capacity. If you are tired of confusing survival with living, this episode gives you a sharp, honest lens on mental health, women's resilience, boundaries and rebuilding life on your own terms. About the Guest: Kristen Crabtree is an author, creator of the Paramore Paradox ecosystem and a certified trauma informed divorce coach. After decades in a psychologically abusive marriage and a long journey with bipolar disorder, trauma therapy and meditation helped her reclaim her voice and identity. Her book Be the You That is More You Than You Have Ever Beenoffers a structured framework for excavating your own story, identifying the roles and artifacts that shape you and stepping into what she calls your True You 2.0. Today she helps people move from invisibility and self doubt into clarity, self trust and aligned decision making. Key Takeaways: Mental health often erodes when we shrink behind roles and expectations. Kristen explains how constantly performing as the responsible one while ignoring your own needs creates inner chaos and long term psychological strain. Most people mistake mental strength for holding everything together and never asking for help. Kristen reframes true mental resilience as hearing your inner voice, accepting it and making decisions that align with who you really are. Kristen's turning point came through trauma therapy and meditation. Both helped her recognize the psychological abuse in her marriage, process earlier sexual trauma and reconnect with a self she had buried for decades. Her book uses an excavation metaphor. You audit the artifacts of your life, roles, traumas and stories, then intentionally design your True You 2.0, a future identity that expresses your real values instead of inherited scripts. The conversation names privilege directly. Kristen acknowledges that some people do not have the time, money or safety to do deep identity work, and that telling them to just align with their true self can sound tone deaf. Boundaries show up as a practical first lever. Kristen describes learning to feel in her body when a boundary is crossed and how protecting that line built self worth, self respect and the stability required for bigger life changes. Both Sana and Kristen emphasize that humans are messy by default. You are not broken or something to fix. The work is stripping away noise, shame and other people's blueprints so you can design a life that actually fits you.   If you're in immediate crisis, contact local emergency services or your regional suicide prevention helpline.

Send us a textMost of us are one decision away from giving up. We're at the breaking point, questioning if we're qualified, if our pain has purpose, if it's even worth continuing. And in that moment—when you're about to quit—everything changes. Or nothing does. It depends on what you choose next.In this life-altering episode, mental health professional Alison Lager and voice coach Matt Berthot sit down to discuss the exact moment when most people walk away from their calling. They've both been there. Alison survived her husband's suicide, childhood abuse, eating disorders, and a murder trial. Matt inherited generational trauma from his grandfather's suicide and his father's alcoholism. Both were broken. Both were about to quit. Both chose differently.And they're here to tell you: The moment you're about to quit is exactly when you must keep going.But they're not just offering motivation. They're offering a framework—one rooted in neuroscience, Scripture, and lived experience—for what to do when the eclipse of despair gets too dark to see through.You'll discover:Why "God qualifies the called" means your inadequacy is the invitationHow the suicide mind works (and it's not what you think)The one skill that prevents emotional collapse: emotional sobrietyThe three-step framework that transforms your worst pain into your life's workWhy bigger growth always means bigger storms—and how to prepareThe Hadestown lesson: How to sing your sad song and still find hopeHow to practice resilience in small moments so you have it in big crisesWhat happens when you finally say yes to that small, still voice inside youWhy receiving help is harder than giving it (and why that's destroying you)The difference between reaction and response (it's a 10-second pause)This episode is for anyone standing at the edge. For the burnt-out parent, struggling entrepreneur, the person in crisis. It's for people who've lost people to suicide. It's for people who've thought about it themselves.Alison and Matt aren't here to tell you it gets easier. They're here to tell you it gets meaningful. And that changes everything.

If I had to pick one book to gift to every person I met for the rest of my life, it would be The Language of Emotions by Karla McLaren. Karla is the original expert on emotions and frankly, her book helped me go from being someone who got *completely* overwhelmed by emotions like sadness, fear, panic, depression, and anxiety to who I am now: a woman who can flow with her emotions and ultimately, feel far more at peace than I ever have because I "speak" emotion. In this episodes, Karla shared so much of her truly life-changing wisdom with us including: addressing the biggest misunderstanding we all have about emotions: that there are "negative" and "positive" emotionsthe REAL purpose emotions have in our lives (they are not just a nuisance we are meant to "overcome")why we both think that the typical rhetoric you hear in spiritual communities can actually be incredibly detrimental to usthe role emotions are meant to play in helping us grow our businesses, making money and create successwhat messages emotions like anger, shame, anxiety, panic, depression and even suicidal urges have for us and why we *must* learn to interpret these messagesThere aren't words to describe how transformational Karla's work has been on my life. I urge you to buy a copy of The Language of Emotions (paperback so you can highlight, take notes and reference it!!!) She now also has The Power of Emotions at Work, Embracing Anxiety, and The Language of Emotions Workbook!

Send us a textThis week on Project Weight Loss, I'm talking about something so many of us quietly struggle with — that strange feeling of “I'm doing everything… and yet, I still feel stuck.”Whether it's with food, with our routines, or with parts of life that feel a little stagnant, this feeling shows up for all of us.

If family gatherings leave you feeling drained or like you're reverting to an old version of yourself, you're not alone. EMDR therapist and yoga teacher, Abby Albright, returns to discuss the invisible rules governing dysfunctional family systems and how they intensify during the holidays.We explore six categories of unspoken family rules: emotional (don't feel, don't be sad), need-based (don't need anything), relational (don't rock the boat, don't outshine anyone), role-based, loyalty (protect the family image), and safety rules. These aren't written anywhere, but they live in our bodies and shape how we show up.Abby shares how these patterns create physical tension, why breaking invisible rules feels scary, and practical ways to find choice within challenging family dynamics. We talk about being a pattern breaker and giving yourself permission to show up differently, even in small ways.What You'll Learn:How to recognize the six types of invisible family rulesWhy family gossip reinforces dysfunctional patternsThe gap between family image and realitySmall ways to practice choice during difficult gatheringsWhen to lean into curiosity vs. contain awarenessCheck out Abby's Therapeutic Yoga offerings hereFor more on dysfunctional family dynamics around the holidays, tune into:Family Dysfunction: What It Is and What To Do With ItDysfunctional Family Dynamics & The HolidaysThanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!

Have you ever found yourself immediately reaching for a coping behavior like scrolling or stress eating, without even realizing what emotion triggered it? That could be a sign of emotional repression—a survival mechanism that protects you, but at a huge cost to your health and boundaries. In part one of this essential two-part series on emotional health and post-traumatic growth, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof (founder of BrainBased.com) and Jennifer Wallace (Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide) dive into the powerful energy of anger. They are joined by their friend and lead educator, Matt Bush, an international applied neurology expert and founder of Next Level Neuro. This conversation explores how a lifetime of suppressed anger, tied to the fight response and complex trauma, creates a toxic internal environment, linking chronic stress to diagnoses like Stage 3 cancer. You will learn the crucial difference between conscious suppression and unconscious repression, how this shifts your entire neurological perception of the world, and what safe, structured steps you can take to begin discharging this vital energy from your body. This episode is for anyone who struggles with quick reactivity, feeling disconnected from what they feel, or understanding the deep mind-body connection of stored emotion. Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction: anger, fight response, and health diagnosis. 01:37 Emotional expression & its vitality for nervous system health and reducing stress. 07:06 Perceived vs. real threat and the roots of repression in childhood. 16:45 Defining suppression versus repression as protective mechanisms. 23:42 The neurological and physiological consequences of repression. 35:34 Anger as a natural response to a boundary violation and safe release practices. 42:47 The link between repressed anger, boundaries, and immune system dysfunction. 48:28 Rewiring for a new homeostasis and the role of epigenetics. Key Takeaways: Emotional repression—the unconscious blocking of emotions—is a trauma-informed survival strategy that traps the nervous system in a constant state of threat response, leading to the buildup of toxic stress hormones. Repression is often tied to complex post-traumatic stress, where a child's nervous system was unable to process big emotions and lacked co-regulation from caregivers, learning that emotional expression was unsafe or threatening. When repressed, anger (the natural response to a boundary violation) becomes internalized, resulting in behaviors like overworking, people-pleasing, and, ultimately, immune system dysregulation (e.g., autoimmune conditions). Chronic repression can alter your entire perception of the world, making everyday situations feel threatening (non-cognitive), and driving unconscious avoidance or numbing behaviors (e.g., binging, workaholism, mindless scrolling). Healing involves creating a safe and structured environment (alone or with a trusted person/coach) to gradually access and discharge emotional energy, using neurosomatic intelligence tools to repattern the nervous system.

Send us a textMost of us don't realize how deeply grief can reshape our identity. When someone we love dies by suicide, we often unconsciously believe that staying broken honors them—that abandoning our joy, our hobbies, our future is some kind of loyalty. But here's the hard truth: that's not honoring them. That's joining them in death.In this raw and unflinching episode, therapist and suicide loss survivor Alison Lager pulls back the curtain on the invisible second death—the one that happens to survivors. Drawing from her own devastating experience losing her husband to suicide, neuroscience, spiritual wisdom, and years of clinical practice, Alison shares the actionable blueprint she used to refuse suicide a second victim.You'll discover:Why "secondary loss" happens—and how your abandoned dreams become collateral damage to griefThe dangerous comfort of the "victim" identity—and why you have to eventually let it go to surviveThe "boardwalk principle": How to reclaim the places and activities you loved without betraying your loved oneWhy staying in grief is a form of spiritual death—and how to recognize when you're joining the same darkness that took themThe science of "gaining more than you lost"—the neuroscience behind why this actually worksHow to ride waves of grief instead of drowning in one long emotional responseThe "heavier weights" metaphor: Why your pain can become your greatest strengthPractical strategies for processing rage, anger, and the emotions grief tries to hideWhy living fully is the ultimate honor to those we've lost—not a betrayalThis episode is for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide, anyone supporting a widow or survivor, and anyone who's ever wondered if there's a way out of the darkness. If you've felt like staying sad is loyalty, or believed that you can never be happy again—this conversation will change everything.Because here's what Alison knows: Suicide didn't just take their life. It's trying to take yours too. And you have the power to say no.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Judith Herman, author of the groundbreaking book Trauma and Recovery, to talk about complex PTSD, trauma recovery, and what justice actually means to survivors.Dr. Herman explains why complex trauma is still overlooked in mental health training, what the three stages of trauma recovery really look like in practice, and why isolation is one of the biggest predictors of poor outcomes. We also dig into her latest book, Truth and Repair, where she interviewed 30 survivors about what they actually want when it comes to accountability and healing.This conversation challenges everything you think you know about justice, punishment, and what it takes to move forward after trauma. If you've ever felt invisible, unheard, or like the system wasn't built for you, this episode will validate every single thing you've been feeling.Topics covered:The three stages of trauma recovery: safety, remembrance and mourning, and reconnectionWhy complex PTSD still isn't recognized in the DSMWhat survivors want more than anything (acknowledgment and vindication)Why most survivors don't want punishment or even apology from their abusersThe role of bystanders in healing and harmHow isolation impacts recovery and why finding your people mattersDr. Herman's one message to trauma survivorsIf this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it.Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of home invasion, physical violence, trauma responses, anxiety and mentions of suicidal thoughts in a mental health context. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Megha Parekh, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Jacksonville Jaguars, to unpack what trauma recovery actually looks like when your life and leadership role keep moving at full speed. Megha shares the night her home was violently broken into, how her body reacted for weeks, and why healing is an upward curve but never a straight line. They dive into practical crisis toolbox strategies. from regulating your nervous system with movement and music, to using simple lists when your brain is overloaded, to naming what stresses you and matching it with specific coping tools before crisis hits. Megha also breaks down how to lead teams while you are still healing, why honesty plus boundaries matter, and how to support trauma survivors without trying to “fix” them. This is a grounded, real conversation on trauma, performance, and building systems that keep you alive, not just functional. About The Guest: Megha Parekh is the Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Jacksonville Jaguars. She operates at the intersection of law, sports, entertainment, development and leadership, managing billion dollar negotiations and high stakes decisions. Megha is also a survivor of a violent burglary and battery in her own home, a long time volunteer with Crisis Text Line, and an advocate for mental health, crisis support and trauma informed leadership. Her work and story highlight that high performance and deep vulnerability can and should coexist. Key Takeaways: Trauma recovery is not linear. You can perform at a high level at work and still have days when anxiety, fear or numbness spike. Progress over time matters more than “bouncing back.” Your body keeps the score. Shaking, hypervigilance, difficulty breathing and forgetfulness after trauma are physiological responses, not weakness or failure. Naming that reality is the first step to self compassion. Build a crisis toolbox before you need it. Megha uses a simple two column list. on the left, situations that trigger stress, anxiety, loneliness or fear, on the right, specific actions she will take in each scenario. Simple tools work in real life. Lists for daily basics, familiar movies with no surprises, music with a steady beat, walking outside, and beach or nature time all helped her regulate her nervous system without overcomplicating things. Leading while healing requires transparency and boundaries. Megha told colleagues what happened, what topics were okay to discuss and that she might need extra grace, while still asking them to treat her as capable and fully present. If you want to help someone in crisis, do not jump straight to advice. Ask what is in their toolbox, what would feel supportive and what they need in that specific moment, instead of projecting your version of “normal” onto them.

In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne talks with Justin Tedford, a combat veteran and photographer, about his unique approach to using photography as a healing tool to combat PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Justin shares his journey from small-town Iowa to working for the Department of Corrections, and describes how creative expression, specifically Polaroid emulsion lifts, became a therapeutic outlet during difficult times. The conversation delves into the tactile, imperfect process of transforming digital images into analog art, and how embracing imperfection mirrored Justin's personal healing journey. They discuss creative ruts, the value of personal projects, and reconnecting with the “why” behind making images, along with Justin's experience mentoring other veterans and photographers through mental health struggles and creative challenges.

What if "nothing happened" in your childhood, yet you still feel numb, flooded, or stuck in people pleasing or hyper-independence? This episode explores childhood emotional neglect, an often overlooked Adverse Childhood Experience that can wire the nervous system away from felt safety, expression, and connection. We look at how a lack of attunement can shape brain function, stress responses, and adult relationships, and why naming the pattern opens a path to repair. In this conversation, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace map out how emotional neglect shows up across attachment patterns, boundaries, and health outputs. They share trauma-informed context, lived reflections, and practical neurosomatic tools to rebuild capacity for feeling, processing, and connection without blame.  You will learn how repression becomes protection, why hyper-independence can feel "safer" than asking for help, and where to begin with gentle, minimum-effective-dose practices to increase interoceptive awareness and co-regulation in daily life. This episode is for anyone who grew up in a "pretty good" home yet struggles with shutdown or overwhelm, for cycle-breaking parents, and for practitioners supporting clients with complex stress patterns. You will leave with language for your experience and first steps to begin rewiring. Timestamps: 00:00 Why emotional neglect is an overlooked ACE 05:00 Defining emotional neglect and attunement needs in development 11:00 Repression as protection and links to adult health outputs 18:00 Attachment patterns, people pleasing, and hyper-independence 25:00 Practicing self-compassion while breaking cycles 32:00 Parenting notes: modeling emotions and co-regulation 39:00 Neurosomatic tools and first steps for repair   Key Takeaways: Emotional neglect can be subtle yet impactful, shaping nervous system patterns, attachment, and long-term health without assigning blame. Repression often begins when big emotions are not met with co-regulation; later, it can appear as numbness, pain, inflammation, or compulsive coping. Hyper-independence can be a protective strategy that avoids the vulnerability of asking for support. Gentle, consistent practices that build interoceptive awareness and capacity help contribute to feeling safe again. Modeling emotional expression and staying present are powerful ways caregivers support nervous system development.

In a week where political rhetoric reaches new levels of danger and America's legal system braces for impact, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) sits down with the show's resident legal heavyweight Asha Rangappa (FBI veteran, Yale professor, Substack baller) for an unfiltered, expert breakdown of the legal issues and headlines setting America aflame. Asha returns to help us parse Trump's escalating and dangerous “seditious” threats to Democrat lawmakers who posted a video to the troops, the legality of US military interventions (like controversial drug boat strikes), and how lawmakers' messaging to servicemembers and ongoing military operations could spark unprecedented legal and political crises.
