Exploring Trauma and Healing with Dion Jensen Episode Summary In this powerful episode of Seriously, What Were You Thinking?, I sit down with Dion Jensen to discuss trauma, mental health, and the transformative power of nature and cultural connection. Dion shares his remarkable journey from a military and policing background through personal grief and transformation, offering profound insights into how energy, emotions, and healing are interconnected. Together, we explore the concept of "subconscious bodyguards" – the mechanisms that protect us from emotional pain – and how they can be reimagined to support healthier responses. We also discuss the stigma surrounding mental health, the complexities of trauma, and the importance of authentic relationships in recovery. This episode highlights the role of Maori cultural perspectives, nature, and practical tools for managing suicidal thoughts, with a focus on connection, love, and growth as the keys to overcoming life's challenges. Key Takeaways Dion's unique perspective: His military and policing background informs his understanding of trauma and grief. Trauma as energy overload: Emotions are “energy in motion” and must be processed. The healing power of nature: Time spent outdoors fosters peace and clarity. Cultural identity and connection: These are crucial to mental health and resilience. Authenticity matters: Genuine relationships are essential for recovery. Stigma hinders healing: Breaking down barriers enables open, honest conversations. No comparison in trauma: Everyone's experience is personal; there's no “trauma Olympics.” Rest is critical: Healing cannot happen in the midst of a crisis. Love and connection are foundational: They are the heart of recovery and growth. Hope must be actionable: It drives meaningful change when paired with a plan. Sound Bites “Your story is fascinating.” “The army becomes your family.” “Nature is so important to us.” “Emotions are just energy in motion.” “Trauma is an overload of energy.” “We don't play trauma Olympics here.” “The relationship is the key to healing.” “You can't heal in crisis.” “Hope without a plan is a wish.” Chapters 00:00 – Introduction and Cosmic Connections Setting the stage for a transformative conversation. 02:54 – Dion's Journey and Military Background Insights from Dion's military and policing career. 05:50 – Cultural Connections and Nature's Role How Maori culture and nature play a role in healing. 08:48 – Understanding Trauma and Energy The relationship between trauma and emotional energy. 12:09 – The Impact of Trauma on Life How trauma uniquely affects each person. 15:02 – Navigating Grief and Support Systems Dion's personal experience with grief and the power of connection. 17:53 – The Stigma of Mental Health and Suicide Breaking down barriers to open conversations. 21:10 – Experiences in Policing and Trauma Lessons in resilience from Dion's policing career. 23:57 – The Power of the Mind and Coping Mechanisms Exploring subconscious protective mechanisms. 27:11 – Authenticity and Connection in Healing The necessity of trust and genuine relationships. 32:16 – Facing Claustrophobia: A Personal Journey Pete shares a personal struggle with trauma and its impact. 35:38 – Understanding Subconscious Bodyguards Reframing subconscious protective responses. 38:30 – Navigating Trauma and Emotional Responses Practical approaches to building resilience. 41:57 – The Importance of Rest and Reflection Why rest is essential for recovery. 44:12 – Transforming Subconscious Bodyguards Using these mechanisms as a source of strength. 49:19 – The Role of Love and Connection in Healing How connection drives recovery. 52:43 – Understanding Suicidal Thoughts The importance of actionable hope. 58:49 – Using Personal Experience to Serve Others Turning personal struggles into empowerment for others.

In this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast, host Jed Doherty chats with two talented authors who are bringing diverse stories and cultural perspectives to young readers. First up, Jed introduces Deeba Zargarpur,, the author of the new middle-grade novel "Farrah Noorzad and the Ring of Fate." Deeba shares how her own Afghan heritage inspired the story of a 12-year-old girl who discovers her jinn (supernatural being) lineage and goes on an epic quest. Deeba discusses the cultural significance of jinn in her upbringing and how she wanted to create a fun, magical world that also explores deeper themes of family, identity, and moral complexity. Next, Jed welcomes David Flores, author of "The Boy Who Cried Falta." As a soccer coach, David was inspired by the common tendency of players to fake injuries, which led him to put a creative spin on the classic "Boy Who Cried Wolf" tale. David shares his own passion for the sport, which took root in his childhood in El Salvador and continued to be a source of community and belonging after he immigrated to the US as a teenager. Both Deeba and David emphasize the importance of representation in children's literature, and how their books provide windows into diverse cultures while also serving as mirrors for young readers to see themselves reflected. They discuss the value of co-reading with families and the meaningful conversations that can arise around themes of morality, identity, and the immigrant experience. With engaging storytelling and a focus on cultural connections, this episode of Reading with Your Kids is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone who appreciates the power of diverse, imaginative children's literature.
