Podcasts about Desensitization

Most men think they've got sex all figured out… but what if that confidence is exactly what's keeping them from mind-blowing connection? In this candid and wildly eye-opening episode of the Sex and Bacon podcast, Sarah is joined by Dallas Bluth, founder of Black Box Dating, to explore why so many men misunderstand what truly turns women on—and how they can flip the script for good. From porn culture and rushed foreplay to emotional unavailability and outdated masculinity myths, this convo dives into the core of male sexuality, desire, and how to create actual intimacy (that leads to the hottest sex of your life).

Send us a textBaby Monsters, Week 2: “The Secret That Cost Everything”Main Text: Judges 16:16–21 | Key Themes: Compromise, Desensitization, Consequences, and RedemptionThis week, we explored the tragic story of Samson—once chosen, strong, and anointed—but taken out by a series of small compromises and unchecked desires. His downfall didn't happen all at once. It started subtly: honey from a lion's carcass, hidden from his parents. Over time, Samson became desensitized to danger, flirting with sin and ignoring warning signs. His strength wasn't lost in one moment with Delilah—it was worn down through a series of choices that made room for the flesh and silenced the voice of the Spirit.Eventually, he didn't even realize the Lord had left him. That's the heartbreak of compromise: it blinds us before it binds us. But even in the pit, God wasn't done. The message ends with hope: “But his hair began to grow again.” A fresh start is always possible when we turn back to God. Thank you for listening to the Relate Community Church podcast!

It's no secret that most men want to find love in life and someone they can partner with throughout life. But the reality is that far-fewer men are doing the work required than ever before. And, for those who are actively looking for love, many of them are floundering when it comes to approaching women and building interest that could potentially lead to a long-term relationship. David Meessen is a man who has made it his life's work to help men understand why they struggle and why society, at large, seems to be continually stacking the deck against the type of relationships the men listening to this podcast are looking for. Today we talk about why men seem to be so intimidated in approaching women, the skills (and, they are learnable skills) you can develop to have a more successful dating life, why “Progressive Desensitization” is such a valuable option in love and in life, the alarming statistics around romantic relationships and young men's increasing aversion to them, and how radical honestly (not overly-agreeableness) is what creates attraction.

In this special Insomnia Insight episode, Coach Daniel explores the concept of insomnia as a 'neuroimmunological' issue. Drawing parallels with allergies, he discusses how our brain, like the immune system, can mistakenly identify harmless situations as threats. By retraining the brain through exposure and befriending these perceived threats, we can alleviate insomnia. If you're new to the channel, consider watching a few other episodes for better context.

According to published estimates, the prevalence of an NSAID allergy (hypersensitivity) in the general population is estimated to be between 0.5% and 2%, with some studies reporting a range of 1-3% of people experiencing a reaction to NSAIDs; however, this rate can be significantly higher in individuals with conditions like asthma, nasal polyps, or chronic urticaria, where it may reach up to 20-30%. Genetic and epigenetic backgrounds are implicated in various processes of NSAID-induced hypersensitivity reactions. Aspirin is a type of NSAID and may result in some cross sensitivity in NSAID allergic people. Well, as low dose aspirin is currently the only pharmacological recommended prophylactic agent for HDP, what can we do for these patients? In a new publication (ahead of print, 2/17/2025), clinicians from Singapore provide helpful insights- and an easy to adopt protocol- for aspirin desensitization in pregnancy. Listen in for details.

In this episode, Chris Abraham dissects the complex emotional and social responses to the hypothetical re-election of Donald Trump in 2024. Abraham frames the MAGA movement as the “You're In My Way” party, representing an active force that pushes back against progressive goals. Through historical comparisons, demographic analysis, and a critique of cultural narratives, he examines the potential shifts in power dynamics, perceived existential threats, and the backlash these shifts might provoke. 1. MAGA as an Obstructionist ForceAbraham introduces the idea that the MAGA movement is more than a conservative force; it represents an active opposition to progressive values. Unlike passive political groups, this "You're In My Way" mentality is perceived as directly impeding agendas on climate change, social justice, and democratic norms, leading to a fundamental divide between Democrats and MAGA supporters. 2. Vulnerability and BlacklistingUnder a Trump administration, progressives fear the vulnerability of their expressed values. This evokes parallels to historical blacklisting during the Red Scare, where ideological dissent could be punished, sparking fear among those who were openly progressive under the Biden administration. 3. Desensitization and DismissalAbraham addresses the desensitization surrounding progressive concerns. As serious issues are politicized, they can lose their impact and become fodder for mockery—exemplified by the “drinking liberal tears” trope that trivializes genuine concerns, creating a feedback loop of cynicism and resentment. 4. "Lurkers" and Silent InfluenceAbraham raises an intriguing point about "lurkers"—people who silently consume political content and vote but don't engage publicly. These silent voters could swing elections, highlighting the undercurrent of unexpressed opinions shaping political outcomes. [00:00 - 05:00] Introduction: Setting up the context of a hypothetical Trump re-election. [05:01 - 15:00] The MAGA Movement as the "You're In My Way" Party and its perceived obstructionism. [15:01 - 25:00] Progressive fears and existential threats under a MAGA-led government. [25:01 - 35:00] Distrust and dismissal—how serious issues lose impact through desensitization. [35:01 - 45:00] The power of “lurkers” in political outcomes and silent influence. [45:01 - 55:00] Historical analogies: Weimar Republic, the Red Scare, and implications for America today. [55:01 - 60:00] Closing thoughts on the evolving dynamics of populism, nationalism, and shifting party lines. Q1: Why is the MAGA movement referred to as the “You're In My Way” party?The phrase reflects the perception that MAGA supporters are not merely conservative but actively resist progressive goals, leading to the view that they obstruct changes seen as necessary by Democrats. MAGA Movement: Short for “Make America Great Again,” this movement is associated with Donald Trump's followers and is marked by a populist, conservative platform. Red Scare: A period in American history during the 1940s and 1950s marked by widespread fear of communism, leading to blacklisting and censorship of suspected communists. "You're In My Way" Party: Abraham's term for the MAGA movement, suggesting an oppositional force that actively blocks progressive agendas. Existential Threat: A threat perceived as endangering survival or fundamental values, such as climate change for progressives. Desensitization: The process by which repeated exposure to serious issues can lead to emotional numbness or a cynical view of those issues. “Lurkers”: People who observe and consume political content but rarely, if ever, participate in discussions or debates. Their silent voting power can still influence outcomes. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

Anything left here? Nothing I s– ooh , wats that. Woah, look, dolphins. LIke, 12 of them. Gnarly. My world changed when I got a couch. Everything changed, actually—when I got furniture. Actual furniture, more than just a mattress on a floor and a cheap Asian desk from Amazon I actually loathed. I almost never worked at the desk, anyway, as it didn't seem equipped for the totality of my studio—the keyboard and drum machine, and though the keyboard had been calling to me over the last few days particularly, I had spent the last couple days almost carelessly longing, in peace and near total silence, with not a care In the world or a thought besides my mantras, with the occasional conglomerate rapid overthinking caused by the terrorists outside, now thought more likely to be police officers or feds themselves, as the police never seemed to be able to stop them–and it seemed that perhaps It was a federal act of domestic terrorism itself. No actual police officers or forces seemed to care or could stop them–and if it wasn't the devil himself, it had to have been the military or something of the like, pushing some sort of political agenda. Either way, I wasn't going to be moved in such a way to keep reacting to such immature and primitive war tactics—and thought that it was just as likely that by November, come voting time, they would all be miraculously disappeared, if not before due to the inclement weather I was sure was coming by the end of summer. I was almost sort of on my own time, besides the voices in my mind which screamed to work harder and faster, be skinner and more perfect, and that my prime time had passed—that I would never be loved again and that I was a horrible mother, that besides all the more knowing it for myself, I hushed and numbed with my mantras, uncaring. At the very least, I was alone, and not interested in people— the humanity had left the humans by way of corporate slavery and electronic addictions, rigged elections and a totalitarian government which masqueraded as a democracy, but In all truth had been for quite some time, out of the hands of its people. All the better, as the people had become programmed and controllable, easily manipulated, and for the most part and maybe even for the best, unconscious creatures—the majority of them malnourished, dehydrated by choice and lifestyle, eating processed foods as voluntary poison–and especially in New York City– undereducated, and without rest; The youth at the hands of the system which controlled all aspects of their lives, comparing them not by wit or skill but privilege and genetic composition; by looks, wealth, and vanity. The algorithm was indeed sorting them by all it knew to— perfect, and imperfect, almost always attributed to environmental factors, such as financial stability and of course—access to certain luxuries and freedoms— a hard line dividing the classes now. I lounged somewhat gracefully in my favorite polyester blend skirt as my harems washed with the tablecloth and dishrags— I was nearly out of suitable casual clothes, and although I had been collecting some fashionable outerwear, I never planned on actually going out. Being penniless in New York was tiresome, and I had spent enough time fighting its monsterous crowds and the infestation of migrants long enough during my year within the homeless system—now, still trapped by the terrorists which surrounded the block and what, if it wasn't some kind of federal experiment altogether, also seemed like some kind of criminal enterprise, which situated itself in the warehouse just adjacent to my building, though having lost their illegal smoke shop, a group of shirtless hoodlum-looking types, still appearing to continue business outside of where the smokeshop once had been, now becoming an obvious and unwelcoming eyesore, as the owners of the “auto body shop” which plagued the neighborhood by parking ugly cars on the sidewalks around the entirety of the corner—combined with the discarded trash, old appliances and the occasional shopping cart filled with such , not to mention the trees which stood in beds of littered filth– as if to say “we run this block”—some shade of brown and careless as to what peace might be to some others, they held enough of something like money which masquaraded as power, and therefore enough of whatever they had to continue to make the block a less welcoming place to live, and besides the motorcyclists—which all seemed to be one, haphazard, operational network— stood as a good reason not to bring any child into this mess— the brown-black world of Brooklyn New York's Queen's facing war zone—the ugly truth of old racism and money in New York City; and after a year two year spectacle on how most of the black and brown culture within New York City had bred itself to be unrestful, misbehaved, and brutally drained of its class by the system itself; it was nearly understated that the culture had become toxic. The Redlining of New York City had become obvious–New York City's own racism a blistering outward truth. I I wanted so badly to be able to travel and return “home” or rather, to my apartment–or even rather–to my studio–as it never really did feel like home with the ability to see it all in a new light. I had been in New York so long that I felt myself becoming callous and bitter—I needed to leave, but had been at a standstill creatively, as if there was some kind of block on my music. It was true that I couldn't hear much of my own sounds or music over the traffic in the outside world, and I was sure I had been sent here as sabotage so that I might never make it out of the depths of this world. Either way, I wasn't going to take it much longer— if I was ever made to be homeless again, I would simply kill myself—and without a love that I could call my own— a real love, disconnected from the destruction of my son's father, completely away from the satanic, demonic and evil curses he had set upon me— a love that would set me free from him and his world— I would kill myself. I would do anything to escape the constant thoughts of him bombarding me, the flashbacks of his brutal beating— the evil words he had said and the evil, tumultuous series of homelessness which followed. I would do anything to rid myself of him entirely, and I had not yet at all been loved by someone who didn't seem possessed by something after some time—it was as if this energy would find its way into anyone near me and drive me to insanity just so that his version of the story would become true; the evil lie that I had simply “lost my mind”, and out of nowhere, just had “gone crazy.” His version was the lie— Everything that I had once become was a reflection of himself—weak, unstable, and unable to function, all the while he had used my energy to sustain and survive; a vampire narcissist who could not have without my doing lived or functioned on his own. The one man I had ever shared tied with had been always too tired to get up for work, and always without fail, unable to keep a steady job – and of course— situationally plagued with poor spending habits, bad judgement, and outright laziness. He simply wanted to play the game, drink his 4locos, and use my computer to make rap beats; of course–I was holding him back from his true potential. Becoming like him was what seemed to the outside world as ‘losing my mind', and upon choosing to leave him, to find myself again. His only strategy had been to to form an illusion—that his own mental illness was actually mine. That the traumatic physical violence I had endured and hidden in fear of him had never actually happened. He kept me at a distance to make it seem as though I had abandoned my son; used our son as bait to attract another mate, and then began to discard him, treating him as an extension of myself which he could feed on for light and energy–and eventually discard. He claimed that by ignoring my phone calls and attempts at keeping a bond with my son, that I had no interest in being a mother. He projected onto other that I had been sick or incapable—with the veracity of a cereal killer with just enough charm, the racistly indoctrinated outside world fell to default that always, though having been the survivor of serveral violent acts, that I was somehow in the wrong–that I had somehow deserved the things which were being done to me. The physical scars that I wore were of his making, and the label that it formed— a mentally ill and unstable homeless colored woman— projected to the right-swinging red-necked Alaskans that I was somehow the problem; However, with time, I was sure that his meaning to subdue and belittle me was returning to him in the way of Karmic justice, and that the light that I had left within my own child would be his redeeming quality, in a world where I had been outcast from and unable to return to. I wanted desperately to at least visit—but saw no end to the financial ruin which homelessness and debt had caused insight; the recovery from his physical violence almost seemingly impossible; even frequenting the gym often enough would result in a particular man entering the gym to practice his sparring; often though I tried to prevent the flashbacks from occuring, I would eventually, hearing this, over my music at high volume, imagine the punching bag as my face. I realized at some point that I might never actually see my son again. We were thousands of miles separated and years between us–and because I had been honest in my documentation of the violence that had happened between us–he was refusing to sign the divorce papers, leaving me dangling at the end of a long rope I was sure I'd hang from, and limiting my ability to be seen by the system as entirely independent of this disastrous type of person. Of course, ‘boys will be boys'--and these types of boys in particular had the habit of protecting one another whether they were in the wrong, or not. A brotherhood of course, in which I had been marked as beatable, discardable, and of course, some sort of sub-human. How could I even know that I was safe from his dark and evil reach in a world said to be and many believed ruled by demonic bodies which Satan himself had claimed? In heavy prayer and reflection I had been asking of the men on motorcycles, to which God's answer seemed to speak truth; that these men were not men at all, but Satan's playthings. They had no free though or will to act on their own, and were instead controlled—that the toxicity, the terrorism, the injustice was a spectacle of sorts for the dark lord, in thy he controlled so many of what used to be people—now more just puppets for his displays of affliction upon humanity. These men had no purpose at all but to be consumed and possessed by a creature which had no face at all—no true name at all— the force of evil itself, which by now had controlled nearly all man, and nearly all of humanity. The Complex Collective © Nicolas Fountainisi was a disgusting human being. Not altogether a human creature, he foraged ways of l believing in kindness and gratitude though never actually having felt, or with feeling at all— what human nature actually at all was.

Reading the book, I realized how funny I was—because Tina Fey was funny and interesting—but I might even be actually funnier, and had al certainly lived a more seasoned life—her white girl hardships were endearing and I loved her all the more for having read through the surface level collection of stories from throughout her life and world—she was certainly luckier than I was, and more likable—-and maybe even probably funnier in person, but for now, she was just smarter, and that was enough to encourage me to list the words that so far I didn't know, starting in the middle, and somehow looking back to the beginning. I didn't want to miss anything—she was actually a considerable role model besides Oprah, though it was obvious we lived in different worlds entirely. Captain Captain! Oh, Good, come in, Cannon. You've—changed. …as you know, Monday we disembark. Yes, I'm aware. And as you know, the details of the mission have been classified, even to us. Yes. I find that alarming. And so, without anymore thought I've decided to masquerade as my old self. How old are you, anyway? You should never ask a woman her age, LT. Sargent. * or the other way around, I clearly don't know. Sorry. Your recent promotion keeps slipping my mind; I…haven't been myself lately… Obviously not, if you've decided to publicly dress like that. I'm still very much in the privacy of my office. You can consider me the spokesperson on behalf of the public. Never as a woman her age! You're not a woman; you're my captain. We'll see about that after tonight. Being a woman, or being my captain? Both, probably. Hm. By any chance would you be interested in joining me? As your subordinate, or as a man. Both, probably. Or neither… presumably. As my escort. I beg your pardon. I've been known to become rather out of sorts in this condition. —er, your condition, captain? Dead drunk and blind with fear out of my mind. [he ponders for a moment, knowing that the mission could very well be their last.] Consider it done. Great. Get dressed, and meet me with the car out front in half an hour. Half an hour? Sharp. Bonus points for showing up early. We're earning points? We are now. Very well then. What am I wearing? Something sharp. Sharper than the inside of a half hour. On your mark. I'll—see you soon. He exits the captain's office, letting out a sigh of relief otherwise previously congested, he looks around as if not to be caught, regains his composure with the shake of his head, somewhat in disbelief of what he's witnessed. He casually places his hands in his pockets, walking down the hall and passing one of his crew mates, who quickly stops to salute him. Sergeant. Almost forgetting to salute back, mindlessly drifting passed in ‘off' mode, he slowly and squarely, almost still casually, salutes back. Oh. I had glimpsed at a picture of the man once more that had forced me to wonder— “Jesus Christ, is he okay?” It would be odd to think of a man who has spent a better part of the last two decades and most of his careers on camera as unphotogenic, then again—I had been tricked by the media before into thinking a certain way, and therefore was cautious, and still—I began to wonder about the man and his misery, and his mistresses—not out of jealousy or obsession, but simply because I knew he had them. He was old Hollywood, or old New York—or maybe a bit of both, and there was something about it all, perhaps even my own darkness, that danced with the flicker of sinful lust that motioned me towards not a yearning, or the act of doing so—I was at least wise enough to know nothing good could come from doing harm to oneself or another— but with the intensity of burning desire to know the man behind the mask—the actor inside the actor, to whom all the world's a stage. Whatever, though. Doesn't matter. At least I was still somehow youthfully resilient to what might have otherwise been torture, TVP S2- after Esha's promotion to head writer. DAEMON DALLAS, aka “DASH” is a quick witted, fast-talking comic powerhouse— his legendary stand up and acting career has made him a legendary force in movies, film, and television; he has been booked on the show to sit down with his longtime friend Patrick about his new stand up comedy tour. — DAEMON Who's this beautiful sister? PATRICK My head writer; don't even think about it. DAEMON I don't think. I just do. Esha approaches— Dash politely bows and kisses Esha's hand. ESHA Should I get tested? DAEMON —and funny. [Against Patrick's wishes, Esha accepts a date with Daemon Dash; Furious, Patrick means to interrogate her at work the next day. ] PATRICK Why would you even date that asshole. ESHA Because—Pat. He's a comedian. PATRICK I'm a comedian! So? ESHA So, he's funny. PATRICK And? ESHA And he said things to me— PATRICK (defensively) –What kind of things?! ESHA Charming, funny things— PATRICK Okay?

We get personal this week and stay right on the f%cking healing train as Gabrielle sits down for a one-on-one with therapist Brooke Spahn to discuss the power of EMDR therapy. EMDR stands for ‘Eye Movement, Desensitization, and Reprocessing' and Brooke shares some amazing insights into how it's helped her clients reclaim their lives (and beliefs about themselves) from difficult traumas in their past. In a nutshell, EMDR aims to help reframe a person's negative belief about a traumatic event and turn it into a positive affirmation, hopefully giving them some much-needed relief from the painful memory. Gabrielle touches on how both she and Tay have traumatic events from their childhood and how EMDR could be beneficial for both of them when they're ready. Brooke then reminds us that this therapy is part of an overall healing practice that stresses the importance of trust and openness, so always make sure you're ready to go there first! It's another fascinating deep dive into one of the many healing options out there.

Ep. 130 (Part 1 of 3) | World renowned EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy pioneer and trainer Dr. Laurel Parnell has used EMDR therapy with clients for decades with truly remarkable success. Laurel relates how EMDR therapy dissolves blocks caused by trauma, freeing clients from negative constructs so they can develop their own felt sense of truth, and express from and know their own true nature. After EMDR, she says, “singers sing, writers write, dancers dance.” Not only are clients freed, but the endpoint of EMDR therapy quite often rests in a transpersonal space that is invariably characterized by an upwelling of self-love and compassion for others, an opening to mystery and boundless possibility. Interestingly, because of the resonant field between therapist and client (interpersonal neurobiology), the therapist experiences the transpersonal opening when it happens as well. More often than not, Laurel tells us, the way the session unfolds is a surprise to both client and therapist, with long forgotten little “t” traumas turning out to be responsible for the client's blocks rather than the expected major life traumas. Laurel makes it clear that the goal of EMDR is to empower the client; the therapist must allow the wisdom to reside in the client rather than in their own interpretation of what unfolds, and adhere strictly to a process of open inquiry. She describes how the therapist's beliefs can limit the outcome and outlines the advantages of a therapist who has a spiritual practice and transpersonal awareness. Laurel's leading edge at this point involves Multidimensional Integrative Healing, an evolution from her longtime experience with EMDR, where further dimensions of reality have so often emerged in her work, and her own spiritual journey. It is fascinating to hear her describe how we can not only install helpful inner resources for ourselves, but also counter intergenerational trauma by calling forward ancestral wisdom. A deeply intriguing, eye opening, and impactful conversation with a very wise, enthusiastic, far thinking trailblazer of a teacher.

The host emphasizes the importance of letting go and relaxing in order to navigate through anxious states. Drawing parallels between floating in water and dealing with anxiety, she guides listeners on how to release tension, both physically and mentally. The key is to practice relaxing and not overthinking, allowing the natural ability to float – whether in water or through anxiety – to unfold. She encourages listeners to cultivate a sense of acceptance, allow anxious thoughts to pass, and observe sensations with detached curiosity. Patience, self-compassion, and desensitization are key components in overcoming anxiety gradually. By educating oneself about anxiety, practicing mindfulness techniques, and letting time pass, individuals can learn to float through anxiety rather than fight against it. The episode wraps up with a quote from Claire Weeks and a reminder to face, accept, float, and let time pass in the journey to managing anxiety. Learn more about your ad choices.

Try to float gently over the feeling, never fighting it, never trying to crowd it out of your mind. -Claire Weekes Chapters 0:23 Introduction 5:58 Understanding Floating Through Anxiety 10:46 Benefits of Practicing Floating 14:38 Desensitization through Floating 16:43 Avoiding Adding Fuel to the Fire 18:01 Closing Thoughts Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, Gina Ryan delves into Claire Weeks' philosophy of floating through anxiety, emphasizing the importance of being aware but unafraid. Weeks believed that anxiety and panic attacks stemmed from a fear of the symptoms and sensations themselves, rather than any external threat, which she termed as "second fear." By practicing floating through anxiety, individuals are encouraged to accept and embrace anxious sensations without resistance, allowing them to gradually desensitize themselves to the experience of anxiety. Ryan explains that floating involves moving through anxious sensations without tense resistance, akin to floating on undulating water. By adopting a stance of non-resistance and observing anxious feelings without judgment, individuals can signal to their mind and body that there is nothing to fear, laying the foundation for peace and calm as a new default response. Floating teaches individuals to separate themselves from anxious thoughts, preventing them from adding more stress to the situation and ultimately contributing to desensitization. The benefits of practicing floating extend beyond navigating individual anxious experiences with less struggle, as each instance sends a message to the mind and body that it is safe to relax in such situations. By letting go of the need to control or analyze anxious feelings, individuals can cultivate a sense of safety and security within themselves. Ryan stresses the importance of gradually and repetitively practicing floating to rewire the mind and body's response to anxiety, ultimately teaching individuals that they are okay and do not need to engage in fight or flight responses to imagined threats.

Are You Burned Out or Are You Bored? Curt and Katie chat about another type of burnout, “bore out.” We explore the difference between burnout and boredom. We talk about what might be unique to therapists' jobs that would lead to boredom. We also dig into how dissociation can show up as either burnout or boredom. Finally, we share ideas on how modern therapists can mitigate some of the impacts of burnout, boredom, and vicarious trauma. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about both burnout and “bore out” Katie has been feeling a little bit bored lately, so she decided to do some research on what might be happening. She uncovered a concept “bore out” which seems to be the opposite of burnout, but with similar consequences. We decided to dig into this topic to see what therapists can do to try to avoid (or address) burnout. What are the differences between burnout and boredom? ·       Burnout is overstimulation to the point of running out of energy ·       Boredom is under-stimulation to the point of lack of creativity and stagnation ·       Burnout is a pretty common topic, but “bore out” never really took off ·       People more likely to leave a job due to boredom What are the types of boredom that therapists face? ·       Clinical boredom (repeated stories, lack of progress) ·       Repetitive clinical work (due to niche, evidence-based practice) ·       Notes and documentation are frequently described as boring ·       Trauma therapists may become cynical ·       Vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and moral injury ·       Desensitization and disengagement of vicarious trauma can feel like boredom ·       Dissociation may also be part of this disengagement What can therapists do to address boredom? ·       Clinical consultation and your own therapy ·       Professional development and continuing education ·       Refreshing your knowledge and bringing new techniques into session ·       Adequate stimulation to get work done ·       Doing things in small doses ·       Reframing things to make them more positive (not “onerous” or “boring”) Stay in Touch with Curt, Katie, and the whole Therapy Reimagined #TherapyMovement: Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano https://groomsymusic.com/

Have you ever worked with an athlete or a young patient who fears exercise because it can trigger what feels like an asthma attack? Or maybe you've helped someone who feels like they can't breathe when they smell a strong perfume or have acid reflux. Only none of this is asthma…it's a form of airway-induced obstructions.  In this podcast episode, Sara Davis, an SLP and the founder of Vox Fit discusses exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (formerly known as vocal fold dysfunction/paradoxical vocal fold movement disorder) and inducible airway obstruction due to other triggers. She opens up about the impact of high stress and pressure on individuals with upper airway disorders and the importance of behavioral therapy in managing symptoms.  Learn about the use of scopes for biofeedback, techniques for managing airway conditions, and the role of education and empowerment in helping patients understand and manage their symptoms. Understand the importance of tailoring breathing techniques to specific sports and activities and the need for individualized treatment. You'll walk away from this episode with a greater understanding of airway-induced obstructions, desensitization training, and techniques for addressing exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction.  Get the show notes and references: https://syppodcast.com/299 Timestamps: The conference on upper airway disorders and conditions [00:01:09] Establishment of the Global Initiative for Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction (GLO) [00:02:22] Inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO) and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) [00:05:01] The fear cycle and high stress [00:06:55] Importance of the first visit and education [00:08:07] Differentiating upper airway disorders from asthma [00:11:26] The role of scope for biofeedback teaching [00:13:31] Understanding the larynx as a gatekeeper [00:14:50] Teaching breathing techniques and gaining control over the airway [00:18:08] Establishing Triggers and Sensory Awareness [00:20:31] Managing Cough and Throat Clearing [00:21:36] Breathing Techniques for Vocal Fold Opening [00:22:43] Modifying breathing techniques for sports [00:27:53] Assessing exercise-induced condition [00:30:55] Desensitization training for triggers [00:33:32] Reducing sensory receptors in the larynx [00:35:35] Ellerby techniques for exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction [00:36:58] The importance of fullness and depth of breath [00:40:09] Breathing techniques during high-intensity exercise [00:41:17] The benefits of respiratory muscle trainers and nasal breathing [00:42:09] The post 299 – Airway Induced Obstructions: What are they, and why should Med SLPs know? appeared first on Swallow Your Pride Podcast.
