Send us a textWhat happens when a first responder walks into a therapist's office and shares a traumatic experience so dark that the therapist needs "a few minutes" before responding? For most first responders, this confirms their worst fear: no one can handle their reality. That's why cultural competency isn't just helpful—it's essential.In this powerful conversation with the founding members of "Behind the Badge and Beyond," we explore the critical importance of specialized mental health care for those who serve our communities. Lisa Knowles, Richard Winning, Erin Sheridan, Alexa Silva, Jennifer Waldron, and host Steve Bisson bring decades of combined experience working with police officers, firefighters, EMTs, correctional officers, and military personnel.The group unpacks what makes first responder therapy uniquely challenging—like the profound emotional numbing that protects on the job but destroys relationships at home, the grief that gets misinterpreted as burnout, and the resistance to vulnerability that requires extraordinary patience from clinicians. They share stories of connecting with clients through dark humor, specialized knowledge, and authentic relationship-building that creates safety for those who protect us daily.Whether you're a first responder seeking help, a family member trying to understand, or a clinician wanting to better serve this population, this conversation offers invaluable insights into creating genuine healing spaces for those who witness trauma daily. The message is clear: first responders deserve therapists who speak their language, understand their culture, and can sit comfortably with their darkest experiences without flinching.Ready to find a culturally competent therapist or learn more about specialized mental health support for first responders?

Do you ever feel like you're not praying “the right way”? You're not alone.   Even the disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, teach us to pray.” In this week's ALIVE reflection for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Luke 11:1–13), Fr. Jonathan Meyer explores the timeless longing to grow in prayer — and the very real struggles that come with it.   Whether you're new to prayer, stuck in a rut, or yearning for deeper intimacy with God, this reflection will remind you that the struggle is part of the journey — and Jesus welcomes it.

The Via Stoica Podcast: Stoic quotes seriesIn the Stoic quotes series, we take a look at what the Stoics said and uncover the wisdom they left behind. We look at the famous writings from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, and more.In this episode, we reflect on a powerful quote from Epictetus, Discourses, Book 1, Chapter 24:“Difficulties are the things that show what men are.”What does this quote really mean? How do we respond when life gets hard? And why did the Stoics welcome adversity rather than avoid it? In this episode, Benny dives into the deeper meaning of this short but profound line and shares how it ties into training, character, and the ultimate test of a person's philosophy.You'll also hear about Stoic comparisons to athletes training for the Olympics, parallels with Seneca's view on misfortune, and how this mindset shift, from victimhood to voluntary trial, can completely change your experience of hardship.If you want to read more about this quote and its deeper implications, visit our full article:https://viastoica.com/the-stoic-view-on-overcoming-difficulties/And if you're looking for more quotes like this one, visit viastoica.com.

Are We Being Punished By The Storms? Background - As we have tuned into the news over the past week, we have seen incredible tragedy from the storms and flooding across Texas, New Mexico, and up the eastern part of the country. In the meantime, we hear about the growing wildfires sweeping across California and the Northwest.  These days, it seems like no one is safe or spared from the storms. I've heard all kinds of reasons and thoughts behind these events. “God is punishing us”, “Climate change is real”, “We get what we deserve”, the list of explanations goes on as we try to use ideas of faith, science, and whatever else we can insert into the picture to help us reason through the storms we face.  During today's show, we are not going to attempt to explain why these storms occur.  We are not going to point fingers at who is doing things right and who is possibly doing things wrong. What we are going to do is discuss what God wants from us and what we can do to work through the storms of life. 1. Storms are Inevitable, Not Always a Consequence of Sin: If your neighborhood was hit by a tornado you might take that personally and think it was something about your sin that caused the tornado.It's a common misconception that storms or hardships are  always a direct result of personal sin. Jesus Himself stated, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). Troubles are a given, even for believers. How about Job? He endured immense suffering despite being described as "blameless and upright" (Job 1:1).2. Storms Can Be a Means of Growth and Refinement: Just as a refiner's fire purifies gold, storms can purify our faith and character. Difficulties often expose areas where we need to grow, deepen our dependence on God, and develop perseverance. James 1:2-4 encourages us with this perspective: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." The storms, therefore, are not meant to break us, but to build us up.3. Storms Can Be a Testimony to God's Power: When we navigate storms with faith and integrity, our lives can become a powerful testimony to God's faithfulness and strength. Others observe how we respond to adversity and can be drawn to the God who sustains us. Advice - How Christians Can Expect and Make It Through Storms While Honoring God1. Stop Focusing on the Storm, Start Focusing on What You Are Doing in the Storm. 2. Anchor Yourself in God's Word: 3. Lifestyle of Prayer and Dependence: 4. Trust in God's Sovereignty and Goodness: 5. Seek Community and Support: 6.

In this episode I am joined by Ani Pema, an American nun in the Tibetan Buddhist religion and former swami in the Siddha Yoga organisation. Ani Pema recalls her childhood in Boise Idaho, her high flying career in fashion working for Vogue magazine, and how dissatisfaction with the American dream set her on a spiritual search.

On Thursday's Monring Focus Alan Morrissey was joined by Mike Taylor, Director of Policy FASD and Lucy Killackey, Clare Macra Member. Almost nine in 10 18-to-34 year-olds know someone who is still living at home because they can't afford to buy their own home. A new survey also shows a staggering number of this age cohort know someone who is planning to emigrate because of the housing crisis. Dubliners were most likely to know someone who has left Ireland due to housing affordability, at 45 per cent - while those living in Munster were least likely, at 33 per cent. This begs the question: how can the younger generation start a family, if they can't move out of their parents' home and build their future elsewhere? And, given the situation, will that elsewhere be abroad, where it could be easier to find a home of their own? Earlier, Alan spoke with Fianna Fáil Councillor Rachel Hartigan.

Hardship is part of this life. It comes to those who know Christ and to those who do not. Difficulties do not favor one person over another, even though it may look like that sometimes. Because of Christ in us, we have the glorious opportunity to look at seasons of suffering through a different lens. - Jessica Van Roekel SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotionalYour Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse  Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Reish Lakish explains that if the Jews had not sinned with the golden calf, later generations would not have been born because the Jews would have been transformed into angels. After several objections are raised against this statement, the sages reinterpret his words to mean that the Jews would have become similar to angels in that they would have become immortal, yet still have children. Difficulties are raised against this interpretation as well, but these are resolved. Why is it forbidden to conduct business with gentiles specifically during the three days preceding their holidays? Objections are raised against this three-day restriction by drawing comparisons to Jewish practices before their own holidays. How are these discrepancies resolved?  

The amount of change and questioning our kids face makes teenagers more vulnerable to stress than any other age group. Things that would never bother us as adults can be devastating to a teenager. The stuff we might write off can be monumentally difficult for them to handle or overcome. When you've seen a teenager stress out over a “wardrobe crisis,” mediocre test grade that has no bearing on eternity, or facial blemish. . . you have to wonder what might happen if they would ever face problems of a more severe and significant nature. We can't forget that the adolescent years are a time of change, pressure, crisis, and even impulsive overreaction. While we might be tempted to simply say “get over it” (and there are times where that response might be justified!), it's better to walk through the crisis with them and allow them to express themselves, all the while offering support and the benefit of a more mature perspective.

In this episode, Too Black and Ryan debrief about the National Black Radical Organizing Conference. They were both deeply involved in the planning and logistical process of bringing the conference to Indianapolis. We aim to provide an assessment of the conference, highlighting the complexities involved in planning an event of such scale. Building is important, but how we do it matters. Thus, we also engage in self-criticism to highlight areas for improvement. Although this episode is not about a myth, we strive to dispel some of the bad faith understandings of organizing not only a conference but organizing in general.  00:00:00 -Opening 00:22:41 - Why Indiana? 00:53:35 - Logistics 01:22:31 - Logistics and Difficulties 01:51:50 - P2 Significance  https://www.patreon.com/blackmyths

Originally published May 06, 2021. In this powerful Best Of episode, we dive into the surprising science behind emotional stress and how our brains create outdated patterns in response to life's challenges. Cedric Bertelli, Founder and Director of the Emotional Health Institute (EHI) explains how even the most emotionally healthy among us are shaped by unconscious predictions that trigger stress, anxiety, and depression.   Learn how to shift your emotional state by understanding the brain's predictive mechanisms—and how simply sitting with your emotions, even briefly, can begin to release their grip. This eye-opening conversation offers practical tools for lowering stress and reclaiming control of your emotional well-being.   Guest Bio - Cedric Bertelli is the Founder and Director of the Emotional Health Institute (EHI), which educates individuals and professionals on Emotional Resolution (EmRes)—a method for resolving stress, anxiety, depression, and other disruptive emotions. Since 2009, Cedric has researched and refined the EmRes process, training thousands of adults, including over 200 teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area, to use it effectively. He also works directly with clients and trains mental health professionals, coaches, and educators.   Social media links Cedric Bertelli: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CedricBertelli Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theemotionalresolutioneffect/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emotionalresolution/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-bertelli-%E2%97%87-trainer-in-emotional-resolution%C2%AE-68286224/ Website: www.emotionalresolution.org   Thanks for listening to the show!
