¿Sabías que, en 1907, un médico midió 21 g al “peso del alma” justo en el instante de la muerte? ⚖️ Hoy no vamos a pesar almas, pero sí vamos a cartografiar la depresión: un vacío que, cuanto más hueco se vuelve, más pesa en nuestro día a día. En este episodio viajamos desde la leyenda de esos 21 gramos hasta la ciencia puntera de 2024, cuando la Universidad de Stanford identificó 6 biotipos cerebrales distintos de depresión y demostró que no todos los cerebros se deprimen igual. A lo largo de una hora de conversación combinamos historia, neurociencia y testimonios reales para iluminar: Qué es y qué NO es la depresión (spoiler: no es simple tristeza ni “falta de ganas”). Los factores biológicos, sociales y contextuales que la desencadenan y mantienen. El hallazgo de los marcadores cerebrales: desde la sobrecarga de la red por defecto (rumiación sin freno) hasta la “parálisis por análisis” de la corteza prefrontal. El biotipo “Insome” y cómo el insomnio desajusta tu reloj interno. El biotipo de la “Ola emocional”, donde la amígdala arde y cada estímulo se siente a 100 000 V. Estrategias prácticas: rTMS, ACT, DBT, cronoterapia, mindfulness… y cómo elegir la adecuada para TU biotipo. Te contaremos por qué Finlandia puede encabezar el ranking de países más felices y, aun así, luchar contra una tasa de suicidio elevada , y qué nos enseña eso sobre la diferencia entre “vida satisfactoria” y “bienestar emocional”. Al terminar el episodio: Sabrás describir tu propia experiencia con palabras precisas (¡o al menos sentirás que ya no estás solo!). Tendrás un mapa con las rutas terapéuticas mejor adaptadas a cada tipo de depresión. Contarás con una playlist de prácticas sencillas para activar tu ánimo incluso cuando la niebla sea densa.

Are you struggling with depression, self-sabotage, or anxiety that no one else can see? In this deeply honest episode of Ask Katie Anything, licensed therapist Kati Morton explains what high functioning depression really feels like and why you might feel so empty inside, even when life looks “perfect” on the outside. We'll explore how childhood trauma, emotional neglect, and attachment wounds shape your mental health today — and how they're connected to self-sabotage, memory gaps, and anxiety symptoms like itching or shaking. Kati shares practical steps to break free from guilt, reconnect with yourself, and start healing.

Ask Kati Anything ep. 270 | Your mental health podcast, with Kati Morton, LMFT Questions & timestamps 1. Could you talk about high-functioning depression and what it really looks like? For context, I feel like I have a “perfect” life; supportive parents, a stable home, pets, a car, and all the basic things I need to live comfortably. I haven't experienced any trauma, and from the outside, everything seems fine... 00:00:43 2. I accept my flaws and want to grow, but I zone out or give up easily. I've been stagnant in my studies for 3 years. How do I build real, lasting change when it feels so hard to even begin? 00:12:07 3. I've recently realized there are a lot of things I do not remember about my childhood. My sibling was sharing stories and kept looking at me asking, “Do you remember that?” and I rarely did. We lived in the same house so how does she remember so much more than me? 00:17:49 4. Could you please explain why people itch when they are anxious? It's something I have recently started doing without even knowing it was related to my mental health. Could you please tell me why we do this? And how we might be able to stop? Thank you love your videos and podcasts! 00:22:29 5. My question is about attachment regarding military life, having a parent unavailable but not by choice. I often hear you mention your dad being gone for work frequently when you were a child and how you believe it has an effect on your upbringing. My dad was in the military for 25 years and was often gone during my childhood—not for super long periods (maybe 4 months max), but he left and returned so often... 00:29:11 6. I've been on a healing journey in the last 2 years in trauma therapy. I've worked a lot on myself with the big challenge of feeling my own feelings. I've learned to sit with my feelings and finally felt safe with my therapist. I've set boundaries with family, lost relationships, and even lost a pet during therapy... 00:38:59 7. My old therapist is having a baby and I will no longer be able to see her. She has been so helpful and I have been able to move on from her in the past (when I “graduated” DBT). All of the therapists I have had since seeing her don't quit live up. It's possible that she's my favorite person. How do I move forward with my life? 00:42:31 ONLINE THERAPY (enjoy 10% off your first month) While I do not currently offer online therapy, BetterHelp can connect you with a licensed, online therapist: https://betterhelp.com/kati PARTNERSHIPS Nick Freeman | nick@biglittlemedia.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Blaise Aguirre is the author of 'I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You're Wrong About You'. Recognised for his extensive work in treating mood and personality disorders in adolescents, Aguirre addresses the often-ignored issue of self-hatred, explaining why common practices of "self-care" or "self-love" often fall short when self-hatred becomes part of someone's identity. Former guests Dr. Abbie Marono and Melli O'Brien shared their own stories of self-loathing. This conversation may sound heavy, but I can assure you, stay with me—it's a fascinating conversation that we can all learn from.   LINKS   Book on Amazon I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You're Wrong About You   The Mojo Sessions website www.themojosessions.com   The Mojo Sessions on Patreon www.patreon.com/TheMojoSessions Full transcripts of the show (plus time codes) are available on Patreon.   The Mojo Sessions on Facebook www.facebook.com/TheMojoSessions   Gary on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/gary-bertwistle   Gary on Twitter www.twitter.com/GaryBertwistle   The Mojo Sessions on Instagram www.instagram.com/themojosessions   If you like what you hear, we'd be grateful for a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Happy listening!   © 2025 Gary Bertwistle.  All Rights Reserved.

Introducing Therapy for Addiction - Learning Never Stops – Planning Your CPD In Episode 344 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we look at the ethical use of AI in therapy, highlighting potential risks and ethical responsibilities. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Caroline Evers Endicott about her lecture Introducing Therapy for Addiction - a vital area of practice that's often underrepresented in core training. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss how learning never stops in counselling - and why planning your CPD is essential as you qualify and build your therapeutic career. Ethical Use of AI in Therapy [starts at 03:34 mins] Ken Kelly, joined by his digital twin “DigiKen,” opens the episode by exploring the ethical use of AI in therapy—how it's quietly being integrated into practice, and the serious questions it raises. Key points of this section include: AI tools such as scheduling apps, transcription software, or marketing generators are already present in most practices. Many of these tools are hosted on international servers and may not comply with UK GDPR or ethical standards. Therapists must assess whether any digital tool: Complies with UK data laws. Has adequate encryption and security. Aligns with professional ethics. Stores client data securely. While AI should never replace the therapeutic relationship, it can support therapists with non-clinical tasks like admin, marketing, or web design. Introducing Therapy for Addiction [starts at 23:23 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with Caroline Evers Endicott about working with addiction and her CPD lecture Introducing Therapy for Addiction. Key points from the discussion: Addiction is a stigmatised mental health condition and is often overlooked in standard counselling training. Many clients present with anxiety, trauma, or depression before disclosing addiction later in therapy. Therapists are encouraged not to immediately refer clients on but to recognise the skills they already possess. Therapist tools Caroline highlights include: Person-centred skills: empathy, non-judgement, trust building. Modalities such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. Understanding clients' use of substances as a way to self-regulate or self-medicate unresolved trauma or neurodivergence. Caroline also explores: The value of self-reflection for therapists working with addiction. Recovery pathways including 12-step, SMART Recovery, and CBT-informed models. The importance of understanding your clients holistically and not reducing them to “just an addict”. Learning Never Stops – Planning Your CPD [starts at 51:24 mins] In this final Student Services of the season, Rory and Ken discuss how to make the most of your academic break by planning your continued professional development (CPD). Key points include: Graduates often face barriers in employment without additional training (e.g. trauma-informed work or online therapy). CPD should balance: Ethics – e.g. being trauma-informed helps you work safely with complex presentations. Sustainability – e.g. online therapy training increases employability and client access. Choose CPD based on: Clear learning outcomes. Practical application of skills. Client needs you're most likely to encounter. Ken and Rory encourage newly qualified therapists to: Reflect on gaps in their training. Focus on real-world skills they can use in the therapy room. Avoid overloading themselves - CPD should feel purposeful and empowering.

Kate and Michelle are passionate about normalizing that there will inevitably be DBT skills that aren't a good fit for everyone and that you're not going to like every skill. In this episode, they each open up about 3 skills that they struggle to use and/or dislike. They went outside of their comfort zone to intentionally use each skill recently and they discuss what those experiences were like. They also share some suggestions for how you can successfully do the same in your own life with skills you struggle with. TRIGGER WARNING: Material that may be triggering is discussed from 11:02-11:11 and 15:33-15:40.Support the showIf you want to sign up for Kate's free DBT peer support group, you can sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dbt-discussion-group-tickets-518237601617Check out our Etsy shop for DBT-inspired items and our journaling workbook (only $7.50!): https://www.etsy.com/shop/dbtandmeOur book, "DBT for Everyone" is available!

Jenny had severe health problems and had tried everything to no avail. Being a practitioner in the alternative health realm already, she could not figure out what was going on. After years of trial and error, she began to heal subconscious thoughts she believed were related to her symptoms. We discuss the multifaceted program she first developed for herself and then refined to be able to offer it to the public. She and her team work a lot with POTS, MCAS, Lyme Disease, Mold sensitivities, Food sensitives as well as other problems that the traditional medical community doesn't have a lot of answers or treatments for. Important points: ·       Root vs trigger memories ·       Comfort measures vs healing ·       Phases of chronic illness ·       Medical to holistic to functional ·       Clearing the slate and Rewiring beliefs ·       How 100% of her students finish the program ·       Daily support instead of periodic   About Jenny Peterson Jenny's primary focus is to help clients identify and release unconscious stressors that are preventing their body from healing and teach how to trust rather than fear their own bodies. She firmly believe that everyone can heal themselves, her team assists in providing the tools to make that happen.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Nisha Patel, LPC—licensed professional counselor, speaker, and founder of The Nisha. Together, they explore the deeper layers of addiction recovery, mindfulness, and what it truly means to live in alignment. Nisha shares her personal journey of 16+ years of sobriety, blending science and spirituality through tools like DBT, brainspotting, hypnotherapy, and Reiki. This honest conversation unpacks how healing is more than stopping behaviors—it's reconnecting with core values, purpose, and self. Whether you're navigating addiction, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected, this episode offers actionable insights on reclaiming your life. About the Guest:Nisha Patel, LPC, is a therapist, sovereignty expert, and speaker with over 16 years of sobriety. She empowers individuals to heal, align with their values, and create a meaningful life using a unique mix of evidence-based therapy and holistic healing practices. Key Takeaways: Addiction recovery isn't just about stopping; it's about replacing, healing, and aligning with your core values. Mindfulness and meditation start small—sometimes with just one quiet minute. True alignment means living in integrity with your values, not society's expectations. Healing work requires discipline—but in the right direction, with the right tools. “There's no one-size-fits-all path to healing—what works for others might not work for you.”   Connect with Nisha:Instagram: @nishapatelcoachingWebsite: https://thenishe.com/ Email: nisha@nishatheniche.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Are you tired of being stuck in the same painful cycle? You know the one – where you can't deal with what's happening, you're angry at the world, and you keep hoping things will magically change. Maybe you're fighting with your spouse, holding grudges, or just feeling completely overwhelmed by life. Here's the truth: all that fighting against reality is actually making your addiction, anxiety, and depression worse. But there's a way out, and it starts with something called radical acceptance. In this episode, Duane and Eric break down this powerful tool from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that's been helping people escape the addiction cycle. You'll discover why accepting painful situations doesn't mean giving up – it's actually the first step toward real change. They'll walk you through exactly what radical acceptance looks like, share simple statements you can use when emotions feel overwhelming, and give you a clear three-step process to start practicing today. You'll learn why the creator of DBT said "the path out of hell is through misery" and how this counterintuitive approach can finally give you the peace you've been searching for. Whether you're dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, or just feeling stuck in life, this episode offers hope and practical tools you can start using immediately.

Dive into a no-holds-barred conversation that shatters common myths about self-harm. Join host Gabe Howard and renowned psychologist and ADAA member expert Dr. Gillian C. Galen as they explore the intricate world of self-harm and emotional regulation. Delving into the neuroscience behind adolescent brain development and its impact on behavior, Dr. Galen explains why self-injurious behaviors are more prevalent during youth and how they evolve — or sometimes subside — in adulthood. They discuss the common reasons behind self-injury and why it's far more complex than the stereotypes we see in movies and media. They explore the surprising ways self-harm can signal deep emotional distress, reveal underlying trauma, and even affect relationships. Whether you've been directly affected or want to better understand the struggles of those you care about, this conversation is a must-listen. Special thanks to McLean Hospital for providing funding for today's episode. “If you see that somebody is self-injuring, it really means, like the level of distress that they are in and the difficulty, like the deficits in coping skills, like they're missing a set of coping skills is pretty profound, right. And you know, the consequences are pretty high. They don't have another skill. We're basically saying, stop self-injuring. What are they going to do with those emotions? What are they going to do with them? Clearly, if they had another way to manage them, they would. I've never met somebody that started self-injuring that has said I had other coping skills, but I chose this instead. Usually when they start self-injuring, it's because they don't know what else to do.” ~Gillian C. Galen, PsyD Our guest, Gillian C. Galen, PsyD, is a senior child and adolescent psychologist specializing in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). She is the director of training for the 3East continuum, an array of programs for teens that use DBT to target self-endangering behaviors and symptoms of borderline personality disorder. She has extensive experience diagnosing and treating adolescents and young adults who struggle with emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-endangering behaviors, such as self-injury and suicidal behaviors. Dr. Galen has a particular interest in the use of mindfulness in the treatment of borderline personality disorder and psychiatric illnesses. She is the co-author of the books “Mindfulness for Borderline Personality Disorder: Relieve Your Suffering Using the Core Skill of Dialectical Behavior Therapy”, “Coping With BPD: DBT and CBT Skills to Soothe the Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder”, and “DBT for Dummies.” Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

She worked in school boards, a sexual assault center, and child welfare, and eventually went into private practice when she started working on reserves.  First private practice experience  So far, Jenny has really loved her group private practice work, even though it can be challenging. Her Canadian private practice is in various partnerships with other organizations.  These intentions have helped guide Jenny in her decision-making process, especially when it comes to hiring the right staff and offering the best services for their client base.  Marketing and building a group practice One of Jenny's best marketing practices has been relational marketing.  Jenny knows that when you are intentional and committed, people will find and come to you for help. Therefore, she and her team make it one of the practice's missions to be connected with their community and get to know their client base intimately.  Doing good work and knowing that good people will come relates both to clients and to clinicians.  The future of Dragonfly counselling  Jenny has started to outsource work that she finds tough doing, such as her SEO and various aspects of running the business. Outsourcing marketing is a great way to save up your time to focus on what you love to do, and get your business seen without too much stress and worry.  In the future, Jenny still wants to keep Dragonfly more intimate and small, and would only grow it larger if she saw the need to do so.  Jenny's advice to listeners  Don't be afraid to lead with your story! Because your genuine stories are impactful for clients. Share ethically and openly, because it shows your clients that you are a fellow person going through life, just like they are.  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Ep 164: Janet and Jasmine Melo-Thaiss: A Practice Run by a Mother-Daughter Duo | EP 164 Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS for one month free) Get some help and freebies on your website with WordPress!  Learn more about Jenny on her Psychology Today, Instagram profile, and practice website  Rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and TuneIn

The Business of Therapy: Surviving Economic and Industry Disruptions Curt and Katie chat about how therapists can adapt to the changing business landscape of private practice, including fewer client inquiries, economic challenges, and increased competition. We share practical strategies for maintaining a sustainable therapy practice, improving marketing efforts, and building strong referral networks. Transcripts and additional information for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we discuss running a private practice during times of economic uncertainty We've heard a lot about the real-time challenges that therapists are facing in a changing business landscape. With a drop in inquiries, increased financial pressures on clients, and greater competition from virtual and AI-based services, private practice clinicians are feeling the pinch. We explore how to adapt your business model, rethink marketing strategies, and prioritize networking and flexibility to weather the storm and build a more resilient practice. What is the current state of private practice therapy businesses? • A drop in referrals and inquiries: Therapists are seeing fewer new client inquiries, especially compared to the pandemic boom. • Economic pressures on clients: Some are requesting fee reductions or shifting to less frequent sessions, even when practices are technically full. • Rising competition: Therapists are competing not just with other clinicians, but also with VC-backed platforms and AI services. What can private practice therapists do to navigate the current business climate? • The need for adaptability: Offering in-person and virtual options, adjusting your fee structure, and being flexible can help retain clients. • Business evolution: It's more important than ever to regularly assess your practice's expenses, operations, and marketing strategy. • Standing out in a crowded market: Specializing in specific modalities (like DBT or EMDR) and diversifying your service offerings (e.g., walk-and-talk therapy) can help. • Networking and community support: Building strong referral networks and staying connected with colleagues is essential in today's climate. • Sustainability for therapists with additional needs: Flexibility can also support therapists who are neurodivergent or living with chronic illness. Key Takeaways from this podcast episode for therapists • Monitor your referral trends and be proactive about filling client gaps—even if your caseload seems full. • Adjust your practice model as needed—offering hybrid sessions or reduced fees may help sustain your income. • Reevaluate your expenses and time investments (marketing, admin, documentation) for a more efficient practice. • Stay current and visible by evaluating SEO, trying Google Ads, and maintaining a strong online presence. • Network consistently—both online and in-person—to build a robust referral stream. • Don't be afraid to evolve. Practices that are nimble and responsive to change are more likely to succeed long-term.

Due to the length of the material, this episode has been divided into three parts. This is part two. In this part, Dr. Ettensohn explores the emotional consequences of the developmental shift from borderline to neurotic-level personality organization. While borderline-level defenses aim to ward off annihilation through splitting, projection, and omnipotence, neurotic-level functioning introduces new emotional burdens: grief, guilt, and the realization that some losses cannot be undone. Drawing on psychoanalytic theories of the paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions, this episode examines how individuals begin to internalize the reality of separate minds, enduring subjects, and the permanence of emotional injury. These capacities open the door to deeper love, mutuality, and ethical concern—but also to sorrow, remorse, and longing. Dr. Ettensohn also outlines the core developmental conditions that support this shift, including “good enough” relational experiences that enable ambivalence to be tolerated and meaning to be preserved across time. Finally, the episode offers concrete strategies for strengthening neurotic-level integration and functioning, both in therapy and in everyday life. References: Bollas, C. (1987).

Learning a new skill, like playing the guitar, requires transforming theoretical knowledge into practical ability. The author shares "Golden Rules" for mastering any new skill, derived from their guitar-learning journey.These rules include:Consistency is King: Regular, short practice sessions are more effective than infrequent, long ones.Immerse Yourself: Become deeply familiar with the fundamental elements of the skill, much like learning to speak a language.Analyze Your Faux Pas: Identify and understand the root causes of your mistakes to correct them.Focus on the Fretboard, Not the Fame: Concentrate on controllable actions like practicing, rather than obsessing over long-term goals or rapid progress.Don't Try to Learn Everything: Be strategic and focus on a few key areas for improvement instead of trying to absorb all available knowledge at once.Turn Knowledge into Skill with Tiered Tremolos: Systematically practice new concepts at increasing levels of difficulty and pressure to build proficiency.Don't Forget to Rock Out (and Have Fun!): Maintain enjoyment in the learning process to prevent burnout.Spoken by Felipe Khristopher Blue of More Than Therapy as his alias, the creative, Jamari Leonard.Do you need a therapist?

Listen to the Episode NOW!This is the exact process we teach inside our Mastery membership, and it's been a game-changer for so many. I can't wait for you to try it.

In this episode, I sit down with therapist Ethan Sapienza to explore the world of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and other therapeutic approaches. We dive into the origins of DBT, its core modules, and how these practices can benefit everyone - not just those with clinical diagnoses. Ethan breaks down complex therapy concepts into digestible insights, sharing practical skills like the "ice dive" technique for emotional regulation and the DEAR MAN approach for effective communication. We also discuss EMDR, exposure therapy, and the power of facing our fears. This conversation offers a fascinating look into modern therapeutic practices and how they can transform our daily lives, relationships, and self-understanding.Key Takeaway / Points:Origins and core principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)The four modules of DBT: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectivenessPractical DBT skills like "ice dives" for emotional regulationThe DEAR MAN technique for effective communication in relationshipsEMDR therapy and its approach to processing traumatic memoriesExposure therapy and its benefits for overcoming fears and anxietyThe importance of facing our fears and tolerating discomfort for personal growthHow therapy concepts can benefit everyone, not just those with clinical diagnosesThe link between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviorsPractical ways to implement therapeutic techniques in daily lifeFollow Ethan's Practice:Instagram: @behavioralpsychstudiooWebsite: Behavioral Psych StudioSponsors:Thrive Market: Head over to ThriveMarket.com/cameron to get 30% off your first order and a FREE $60 giftCaraway: Visit Carawayhome.com/CAMERON to take an additional 10% off your next purchasePaired: Practice love everyday with Paired, the #1 app for couples.

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

This week's Full of Beans episode tackles one of the most critical (and controversial) topics in eating disorder care: are eating disorders really untreatable, or are we simply using the wrong tools?We're joined by the brilliant Dr. Anita Federici, clinical psychologist and international DBT trainer.

Episode Summary: In this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky — expert in obesity medicine — explores the powerful link between stress and hunger. While many recognize stress affects eating, Dr. Novitsky explains the underlying science, behavioral patterns, and offers tools to manage stress-driven eating with compassion.Understanding Stress ResponsesDr. Novitsky explains that responses to stress vary widely. Some lose their appetite during stress, while others overeat. This depends on physiology, past experiences, and genetics. It's not about willpower; it's about biology and behavior.The Role of HormonesAdrenaline (acute stress): Suppresses hunger during “fight or flight” by slowing digestion.Cortisol (chronic stress): Increases appetite and cravings, especially for sugar and fat.Ghrelin: The “hunger hormone,” rises with stress, intensifying hunger cues.Leptin: The “fullness hormone,” can be blunted by chronic stress, leading to overeating.Acute vs. Chronic StressShort-term stress may shut down appetite. Chronic stress, however, causes lasting hormonal shifts that increase hunger, slow metabolism, and may cause leptin resistance. Dr. Novitsky explains how chronic stress and dieting can disrupt satiety signals and lead to weight challenge — even in those with a “normal” BMI.Behavioral & Genetic ComponentsCoping with food often starts in childhood. Learned behaviors and genetic predispositions influence whether one turns to food under stress. Dr. Novitsky shares her personal experience using food for emotional comfort, highlighting the importance of empathy over shame.Tools to Navigate Stress EatingSomatic Stress Scale (1–10) from DBT helps identify rising stress before acting on it.Mindful Pauses: Ask, “Am I hungry or triggered?”Compassionate Self-Talk: Replace guilt with curiosity.Nourishing Alternatives: Movement, breathwork, journaling, or support.Regulate First: Focus on emotional regulation before dietary restriction.Key InsightManaging stress is a foundation for managing hunger. When we understand our body's signals and respond with awareness and kindness, we create sustainable habits. Dr. Novitsky reminds us we're human, not broken—and we're in this together.Final ThoughtThere's no shame in stress eating. With knowledge, tools, and compassion, we can make empowered, healthier choices. Dr. Novitsky signs off with gratitude and love.Timestamps00:00:22 - Overview of Stress and Hunger00:00:52 - Individual Responses to Stress00:01:25 - Genetics and Stress Response00:01:46 - Acute vs. Chronic Stress00:02:06 - Hormones Involved in Stress Response00:02:28 - Adrenaline and Acute Stress00:03:43 - Cortisol and Chronic Stress00:05:00 - Insulin and Blood Sugar00:05:20 - Ghrelin and Hunger00:06:13 - Weight Loss and Stress00:06:47 - Leptin and Satiety00:07:30 - Leptin Resistance Explained00:08:02 - Normal Weight Obesity00:09:05 - Critique of BMI00:10:12 - Leptin Resistance and Metabolic Rate00:11:22 - Chronic Dieting and Leptin Resistance00:12:01 - Summary of Hormones and Stress00:13:43 - Genetic Component of Emotional Eating00:18:09 - Empathy and Emotional Eating00:21:09 - Identifying Patterns of Stress Eating00:24:08 - Recognizing Stress Levels00:25:01 - Stress Scale and Emotional Regulation00:27:07 - Chronic Stress and Hunger00:29:04 - Positive Stress and Dysregulation00:30:09 - Conclusion and Final ThoughtsFollow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Socials⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with Dr. Ali• Beginner Strength Training Program – 12 months for only $199! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll TODAY⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• Total Fitness Program – A 12-month mind-body experience. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enroll HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• The Fit Collective® x InBody USA/Canada – Get 15% off select models. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click HERE⁠

Blaise Aguirre (I Hate Myself: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realize Why You're Wrong About You) is a child and adolescent psychiatrist specializing in dialectical behavior therapy. Blaise joins the Armchair Expert to discuss becoming an expert on Borderline Personality Disorder and DBT, the correlation between BPD and suicidal ideation, and that it's not a choice to live with the disregulation of BPD. Blaise and Dax talk about the analogy of a person with a BPD brain being saddled with a very fast car but not the skill to drive it, the fact that when we are disregulated we can't think properly, and why being too protective of one's feelings can actually rob them of the ability to confront necessary emotions. Blaise explains the glory he has when a patient leaves therapy, the saying in DBT that you have to go where angels fear to tread to truly help patients, and how liberating it is to realize that our common destiny is stardust.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
