In another powerful episode of the Bare Knuckle Recovery Podcast, hosts Tommy Streeter and Nate Moellering welcome special guest Warren Gumpel, a leading voice and educator on ketamine and psychedelic-assisted therapy.Warren shares his deeply personal journey, including his struggle with depression, anxiety, and substance use issues which eventually led him to a life-saving discovery: ketamine treatment. Ten years ago, after a couple of treatments, his depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts were gone.Inside the ConversationThe Power of Neuroplasticity: Warren breaks down a critical concept: ketamine is not a "silver bullet". Instead, it acts as a powerful catalyst and provides a window of heightened neuroplasticity —the brain's ability to build new thought patterns and neurons —allowing a person to implement the necessary behavioral changes in their daily life.Dissociation and Trauma: The discussion dives into the dissociative aspect of ketamine, explaining how it temporarily shuts off the brain's "default mode network" (the inner ego and narrative). This process allows an individual to gain a critical distance from traumatic memories, enabling them to re-examine and recontextualize them without the overwhelming physiological "fight or flight" response; an effect that works synergistically with therapies like EMDR.Best Practices and Safety: The conversation covers the difference between outpatient and inpatient care with inpatient facilities like Allendale Treatment offering the optimal environment for building durable habits away from triggers. Warren stresses the importance of a multidisciplinary screening approach and cautions against recreational use, emphasizing that these medicines must be used as part of a therapeutic process with medical supervision.The Psychedelic Horizon: Warren gives an exciting look at the future of mental health treatment, touching on the efficacy of MDMA for PTSD (especially for veterans) and psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression.A Story of Redemption: Hear the incredible story behind the documentary "Lamar Odom Reborn", where Warren helped the NBA star through his own ketamine and Ibogaine treatments following a near-fatal overdose. This moving example showcases the incredible hope and transformation possible for those struggling with trauma and addiction.Don't miss this crucial conversation about innovation, hope, and the critical work being done to change the landscape of mental health and addiction recovery.Discover more episodes and watch the video version of this episode on YouTube or at www.bareknucklerecovery.comWatch this episode here: https://www.bareknucklerecovery.com/

Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trauma therapist Estefana Johnson shares what makes CMI unique, how it differs from other trauma modalities like EMDR, why our nervous system often overrides logic, and how tuning into ‘signals' — rather than symptoms — can transform healing. (00:00) Introduction to CMI — what Critical Memory Integration is and how it reframes “symptoms” as “signals.” (03:45) Difference Between CMI and EMDR — how CMI diverges from EMDR in theory, process, and focus on organic experience processing. (08:20) The Roots and Creation of CMI — how the model emerged from integrating multiple trauma modalities into one cohesive approach. (11:10) Present-Day Focus — why CMI starts with current discomfort rather than diving directly into past memories. (14:25) The Mind vs. the Nervous System — why mindset alone isn't enough and how the nervous system shapes perception and healing. (18:40) Understanding “Critical Memories” — what makes some memories so influential and how they form lifelong behavioral patterns. (22:15) Beyond “Big T” and “Small T” Trauma — why trauma categories are subjective and how CMI honors each person's lived experience. (26:00) The CMI Process — how clinicians assess tolerance for discomfort and guide clients through following body-based signals. (33:10) A Self-Guided CMI Practice — a simple exercise for tuning into sensations and emotions with curiosity and compassion. (40:00) Integration, Compassion, and Regulation — the role of self-compassion, co-regulation, and practical tools like breathwork in healing. (45:30) Closing Reflections — trusting your body's wisdom and learning more about CMI training through Arise Alliance.

In this episode of The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast, I'm joined by Diane for a powerful and emotional retelling of her son Tommy's birth and the long, complicated postpartum recovery that followed. What began as a smooth induction and quick delivery turned into a life-threatening postpartum hemorrhage, a diagnosis of placenta accreta, and an eventual hysterectomy, weeks after birth.Diane walks us through the cascade of events, from being dismissed when she sensed something was wrong to advocating for the testing that ultimately revealed retained placenta with an accreta component. She shares the fear of facing major surgery, the relief of trusting her intuition, and the ways she has found healing through EMDR therapy, support groups, and reconnecting with her body.Her story is a testament to the power of self-advocacy, the importance of listening to birthing people, and the long tail of emotional recovery after medical trauma.What You'll Hear in This Episode:
Divorced moms carry secrets no one talks about.The things their ex did behind closed doors.The moments with their kids they can't admit out loud — not because they're weak, but because protecting their children comes first.In this premium episode of Dear Divorce Diary, we crack open the hidden stories that weigh the heaviest:His secrets you've protected — and the resentment that builds from carrying them.Your own secrets — the rage, the shame, the things you fear make you a “bad mom.”The deeper secret about secrets — why it's rarely the story itself that keeps you stuck, but the shame welded to it.What if true freedom isn't about being believed… but about finding peace without anyone else's validation? Let's dig in.If you've felt secretly bound to your grief, know this: you're not broken, you're caught in a pattern that can shift.

It is Marta's third career shift, becoming a psychotherapist, after 20 years in healthcare and having worked in academia before! Across this wide career and lived experience, she knew that she wanted to bring it all into her work in her private practice. Additionally, Marta had been helped by many people when she was getting started, which is what encouraged her to pay it forward by offering supervision and mentorship to new and upcoming clinicians. In this podcast episode, Marta and I discuss pivoting from full-time to work full-time in private practice, how to hire the right people, and how to maintain the soul of therapy within the growing business. Join us for a great conversation! MEET MARTA Marta Evans, RP, M.Ed., C.C.C., is a psychotherapist and certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist based in Hamilton, Ontario. She's the founder of Evans Family Counselling & Psychotherapy, a heart-led group practice specializing in transformational therapies like IFS and EMDR for individuals navigating complex trauma, grief, and life transitions. Known for her warm, authentic presence and “gentle but spicy” approach, Marta is a strong advocate for trauma-informed care that challenges the limitations of the traditional medical model. At EFCP, she and her team prioritize respectful, collaborative care that supports deep healing and change by addressing root causes rather than just managing symptoms. Learn more about Marta on her practice website, Psychology Today, and Facebook profiles. In this episode: Starting private practice Diversifying your experience Building up a group practice Marta's advice to listeners Starting the private practice As Marta explains, being a psychotherapist is her third career. She worked for a long time in academia and as a radiation therapist in oncology before transitioning to psychotherapy. With her private practice, Marta started it part-time initially before getting to the point where she had enough clients to move into working in the practice full-time. She worked for some time in a group private practice while building up her own. Diversifying your experience After Marta completed her Master's degree, and while she was building up her private practice and working in another group practice, she got as involved as she could over the span of about seven years - before going full private practice - to soak up as much experience as possible. She knew that her degree was valuable, but that she simultaneously wanted to have a lot more experience under her belt, which can only be acquired through working directly with people. Building up a group practice Marta developed her solo practice into a group practice in January 2024s. She decided to grow her private practice because she wanted to have a community of therapists around her, she wanted to stop turning clients away, and she wanted to start supervising and mentoring new clinicians. Now, Marta has associates and mentees - she wants to help them nourish their passions and to provide an essential service that she herself benefited from. In a way, she's paying it forward. Marta's advice to listeners Slow is fast! Be intentional. Don't lose the soul of therapy by getting too caught up in the business aspects of running a private practice.

You didn't plan on single-mom life at 40. You didn't plan on working full-time while juggling sick kids, homework, and Tylenol runs at 2 a.m. You didn't plan on losing the “white picket fence” identity you once posted on social media.This week on Dear Divorce Diary, we're getting real about what happens when your stay-at-home-mom world collapses and you have to become everything—breadwinner, nurturer, disciplinarian—overnight.Inside this honest conversation, you'll hear:Why the transition from stay-at-home to single working mom is such a shock to your nervous systemHow overcompensating for your kids (or trying to be “both parents”) leaks your energySimple, free grounding tools that help you become a true safe space for your kids—and for yourselfYou'll also learn why presence—not perfection—is the thing your children (and your body) crave most, and how nervous-system regulation after divorce can completely shift the way you parent.

Have you ever had a reaction that felt bigger than the situation? Maybe your partner forgot something small, and suddenly you felt worthless. These moments often have roots in our past.In this episode of This Complex Life, I sit down with Tamera Broughton to talk about how our unmet childhood needs show up in adult life, relationships, and emotional reactions. We explore how trauma is more than big, obvious events, it can also be the quiet absence of attunement, delight, or safety when we need it most.Together, we unpack how to recognise when old wounds are being triggered, what healing can look like through therapies like EMDR, and why making the “invisible visible” is key to moving forward.Key Takeaways:Trauma isn't just what happened to you, it's also what was missing.Disproportionate reactions often signal old pain, not just present triggers.Unmet emotional needs can create shaky “scaffolding” that affects self-worth and relationships.Healing involves strengthening internal resources as well as processing past pain.EMDR therapy can help shift old beliefs (“I'm not enough”) into healthier, adaptive ones.Noticing patterns and reactions is the first step toward change.If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend or loved one who's curious about the impact of childhood experiences on adult life.Resources:Tamera's website: https://centreself.com.au/clinicians-item/tamera-broughton-n/ What Happened to You? by Bruce Perry & Oprah WinfreyThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkWhat My Bones Know by Stephanie FooConnected Teens https://marievakakis.com.au/connected-teens/Connect with Marie https://thetherapyhub.com.au/ https://marievakakis.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/marievakakis/Submit a question to the Podcasthttps://forms.gle/nvNQyw9gJXMNnveY6

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we welcome Dr. Ingrid Clayton to the show! Dr. Clayton is a clinical psychologist, speaker, and author of the brand-new book Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back. If you've ever found yourself people-pleasing, over-accommodating, or twisting into knots to keep the peace in dating and relationships, this episode is for you. Fawning is known as the ‘fourth trauma response'—alongside fight, flight, and freeze—and it's one that often flies under the radar. It can look like kindness or care, but at its core, it's a survival strategy that leads to self-abandonment. In this conversation, we'll unpack what fawning really is, how it shows up in dating and relationships, the cost of constantly prioritizing others and—most importantly—how to begin the healing journey so you can show up in dating without losing yourself. Along the way, we'll also get into how fawning is different from people pleasing and masking, what happens in the body during a trauma, and strategies for reclaiming the self. This one is about understanding the roots of the most overlooked trauma response and carving a path forward for healing. Alright Flirties, let's do this, and meet Dr. Ingrid Clayton!

Send us a textThe weight of trauma doesn't stay at work—it comes home. For first responders, this reality shapes not just their professional lives but transforms family dynamics, relationships, and personal wellbeing in profound ways that most people never see.In this revealing conversation, therapist Erin Sheridan shares her unique perspective as both a mental health professional specializing in first responder care and someone who understands the lifestyle intimately through personal connection. With candor and occasional profanity that mirrors the authentic language of the emergency services world, Erin and host Steve Bisson cut through the stigma surrounding mental health in these communities.The discussion tackles critical issues that rarely make headlines: the devastating impact of mandated 48-72 hour shifts on family life, the subtle progression from social drinking to problematic coping, and the cultural barriers that keep many first responders from seeking help until crisis points emerge. Erin shares powerful insights about building trust with a population trained to handle everyone else's emergencies while ignoring their own.What makes this episode particularly valuable is the practical framework it offers for both first responders and departments. Rather than simply identifying problems, Erin outlines specific approaches that work: proactive mental health training, peer support systems that normalize help-seeking, and therapeutic approaches like EMDR that can help process trauma when properly applied. She explains how small shifts in departmental culture could prevent the cascading personal crises that lead to the troubling statistics on first responder suicide rates.Whether you're a first responder yourself, love someone who is, or simply want to understand the human cost behind emergency services, this conversation offers rare insight into both the challenges and pathways to resilience for those who run toward danger when others run away.Visit www.beautifullyunbrokencounseling.com to learn more about Erin's work or to connect for support services specifically tailored to first responders and their families.Support the showYouTube Channel For The Podcast

Stress isn't just something to “manage” — it's a signal, a teacher, and often, an invitation to look deeper at our health, our choices, and our lives. In this solo episode, Darin reframes stress not as an enemy, but as a dashboard light pointing toward misalignments in our nervous system, environment, relationships, and purpose. Drawing on science, practical tools, and personal insight, Darin reveals how layered stress silently drains our vitality — and how to transform it into an ally for growth, healing, and deeper contentment.

In today's podcast, Abundance Community member Ashley and I explore the growth of her Tampa-based private practice, where she's managing 50 clients and feeling the strain of 32 weekly sessions. We talk through burnout, fee adjustments, and the impact of charging $80 per session in a high-cost area. Ashley shares her interest in refining her ADHD niche, especially with medication-resistant adults, and we discuss balancing strategy work with deeper emotional processing. We also look at ways to build referral networks, incorporate EMDR, and create a more sustainable, values-aligned practice.
