Send us Fan MailFinding Meaning Through Viktor Frankl, Chabad Chassidus & TherapyIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we interview Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch, a therapist and author of "Viktor Frankl and the Psychology of the Soul," about integrating CBT, marriage/family therapy, Viktor Frankl's logotherapy, and Chabad Chassidus. Schonbuch explains Frankl's core idea that humans are driven by meaning, not pleasure or power, and outlines three ways to find meaning: purposeful work, love/experience, and changing one's attitude when suffering can't be avoided. He describes creating TorahPsychology.org, holding Hakhel conferences inspired by the Rebbe's encouragement and a message sent to Frankl, and using a 30-day logotherapy workbook to reduce depression and anxiety. The conversation also covers shared meaning in marriage, rising divorce and estrangement, parenting tools (I=QR, connection/communication/reduced control), reflective listening, trauma and meaning, and incorporating Mitteler Rebbe  teachings and “Tracht gut vet zein gut.”EPISODE SPONSORSYakira BellaYakira Bella is a modest, beautiful clothing brand with dresses that look and feel like designer pieces — elegant, well-made, and made to move with you all night — without the designer price tag.

Host Ophira Eisenberg brings back this favorite episode with Adam Cayton-Holland in celebration of his new film See You When I See You recently featured at the Sundance Film Festival, the Nantucket Film Festival, and more.  They talk about the peculiar math of building a creative life around two young children, five-year-old Malcolm and a two-year-old, and how becoming a parent turned the ambitious comedian who once imagined “conquering the world” into someone who now negotiates club weekends down to the hour so he can catch the first flight home. His new special Wallpaper gets its title from his observation that once you have kids, you become the supporting character in your own life, and he admits that dialing back his career was less a sacrifice than a necessary recognition that his children changed what he wanted from his time; after two days away, he misses his boys enough to optimize every travel itinerary around getting home. That shift extends to his wife, who initially imagined she would be “alpha mom” but discovered she also needed time to be a person outside motherhood, and to the small rituals of being a touring dad, like bringing his wife coffee beans and his sons treats from airports—after learning the hard way that three stuffed animals are considerably less useful to a two-year-old than plane pretzels. The conversation also moves into Cayton-Holland's history as a Denver comedian who helped build the city's DIY comedy scene with The Grawlix, his early work as a substitute teacher, and the strange realization that he was good with little kids but terrible with middle schoolers, whom he describes as having adult feelings and no acceptable outlet except cruelty. The emotional center of the episode is his family history and the death of his younger sister Lydia, whose depression, OCD, and suicide forced him to confront his own anxiety and fears about passing mental illness to his children; he talks about EMDR therapy, the recurring traumatic memories he eventually learned to “file away,” and how writing his memoir Tragedy Plus Time gave him a way to tell Lydia's story with the care he felt it required. Rather than treating comedy as automatic healing, he explains why he initially stopped performing altogether, then eventually returned through a one-man show where audiences understand that the story can be funny without pretending everything is okay. Parenting brings the conversation back to the everyday indignities of raising children, from a five-year-old who threatens to call the police because his mother ran a yellow light to the nightly competition over which parent gets chosen at bedtime, while Cayton-Holland quietly counts his teeth when his mind wanders—and still somehow insists there are 32 of them when he actually has 28.

Fall doesn't always cause your sinus congestion. It just knows how to find whatever was already sitting there. In this episode, Dr. Chris Motley walks through the Traditional Chinese Medicine map that connects the exact location of a headache or a patch of sinus pressure to a specific internal organ, and why that map keeps showing up in his practice. Key Takeaways Your headache location is diagnostic, not random.A two-week case of post-nasal drip traced back to a bladder infection: Dr. Motley's patient cleared her sinus congestion only after he treated her bladder and kidney meridian points, a connection her prior doctor visits hadn't made. Fall triggers stored trauma, not just cold weather. Because the body encodes every sense during a traumatic event, seasonal cues like cooler air and shorter days can resurface them as physical congestion.  Dr. Motley argues sinuses, kidney nephrons, gallbladder bile ducts, and the brain all develop from the same cell line, which is why infections jump between them. Standard embryology backs the sinus and brain half (both are ectoderm) but not the kidney (mesoderm) or gallbladder (endoderm) half.  00:00:00 Opening: why fall seems to trigger sinus headaches, post-nasal drip, and migraines 00:01:19 Welcome to the Ancient Health Podcast 00:01:33 The core rule: where your headache sits tells you which organ is involved 00:03:05 Case study: the E.coli bladder infection hiding behind a patient's post-nasal drip 00:04:19 Why fall specifically resurfaces old emotional trauma as physical congestion 00:06:34 EMDR, neurofeedback, and tapping: clearing the trauma before it becomes sinus pain 00:11:54 The organ map: bladder, gallbladder, stomach, triple warmer, small intestine, and more 00:14:13 Get checked: the hidden UTI, kidney, and gallbladder infections behind your headache 00:16:30 Beam Minerals and why mineral depletion undercuts everything else on this list 00:17:53 The biofilm problem: how old strep and mono build a fortress in your gut 00:24:29 The embryology answer: why sinuses, kidneys, gallbladder, and brain get infected together 00:28:25 The protocol: sprays, acupressure points, and the antimicrobial herbs he actually uses 00:33:56 Homeopathy, lab testing, and how to decide where to start Dr. Motley's go-to herbal recommendations: Cat's Claw Supreme: https://tinyurl.com/yu8ntvu7 Japanese Knotweed: https://tinyurl.com/296dkaby Alchornea Supreme: https://shorturl.at/3HSJ Elderberry Supreme: https://tinyurl.com/kxvnrtep Echinacea Supreme: https://tinyurl.com/ms9ectd4 Usnea Supreme: https://tinyurl.com/ye5ks88c DesBio Headache: https://dbscript.com/product/headache/, Dr. Motley's practitioner code is f9367150 *Most of us are mineral deficient and we don't even know it!

Relapse is one of the biggest problems people in recovery face, especially in the beginning. For most of us, it takes multiple attempts before we can stay sober.   Today I sit down with Paul Schulte, an EMDR expert and trainer to talk about how EMDR can help with relapse prevention. Paul is bbased in Barcelona and he is coming up on 23 years of sobriety! He's the creator of the iMover app, a guided EMDR tool that helps with relapse prevention. This app has also helped people with extreme cases of trauma, like soldiers, refugees, and abuse survivors.   In this episode, you'll learn: • How EMDR helped Paul finally integrate decades of unprocessed grief • Why talk therapy so often can't reach trauma, and how EMDR does • How childhood trauma gets hardwired in the nervous system and repurposed under adult stress • Why relapse, not the physical symptoms we usually name, is the real number one symptom of alcoholism   Before we jump in, did you know we have a youtube channel with over 750 videos? It's called, you guessed it, The one day at a time recovery podcast! Oddly enough my team tells me that only 43% of listeners subscribe.

Divorce does not happen in isolation. You may be dealing with the end of your marriage while still running a business, leading a team, raising children, managing a household, and showing up in situations where people expect you to function just as you always have.But what happens when you simply don't feel like yourself anymore?Today, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder talks with mental performance specialist and psychotherapist Tom Rohrer, PhD, about the connection between emotional experiences and our ability to perform in everyday life.Tom shares how unresolved emotional issues can affect confidence and performance, why taking responsibility is different from taking all the blame, and how realistically examining your role in a relationship can help interrupt unhealthy patterns. He also introduces brainspotting, a therapeutic approach he uses in his work, and discusses the connection between emotional processing, the brain, and the body.Questions We ExploreQ: Why can divorce affect your ability to perform in other areas of life?A: Significant emotional stress does not disappear simply because you walk into the office, attend an event, or need to take care of your family. Tom explains how unresolved emotional experiences can be triggered in situations that require us to perform and function at our usual level.Q: How do you stop blaming yourself for everything that went wrong in the marriage?A: Tom discusses “disputation,” a positive psychology approach that involves examining what actually happened, identifying your realistic share of responsibility, and separating that from the tendency to personalize everything that went wrong. Q: Can changing your own behavior interrupt an unhealthy relationship pattern?A: Sometimes. When one person stops covering, placating, making excuses, or participating in an established dynamic, the pattern itself may begin to change.Q: What is brainspotting?A: Tom describes brainspotting as a therapeutic approach that uses a person's visual field along with awareness of physical sensations as part of processing emotional experiences. He discusses how it developed from EMDR and how he incorporates it into his work. Q: What if you don't feel confident or capable after divorce?A: Rather than accepting that this is simply who you are now, Tom encourages looking at what may be underneath that loss of confidence and addressing the emotional experiences that may be affecting how you show up today.About the Guest:Tom Rohrer, PhD, is a mental performance specialist and psychotherapist who assists public performers, mainly athletes to: resolve emotional issues that are causing performance problems, integrate mental resource states like confidence, courage, or optimism, and expand their ability to perform in the flow state (zone). He also helps his clients with addiction issues by neutralizing triggers, boosting motivation and commitment.

Laurel also shares how she approaches SEO, backlinks, networking, email marketing, and even uses AI to help nurture referral relationships.

What if resilience isn't about powering through, pushing harder, or staying unbreakable but about knowing how to bend, recalibrate, and return to center without losing yourself in the process?That question sits at the heart of my conversation with Dr. Ute Liersch, a German psychologist, leadership coach, and resilience expert who works with high-performing leaders, especially those navigating burnout, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, or major career transitions out of corporate life. She has more than a decade of experience at the intersection of mental health, leadership, and neurodiversity. She brings a rare blend of clinical depth and real-world pragmatism, drawing from evidence-based approaches to help leaders build psychological flexibility, resilience, and purpose without sacrificing wellbeing.Today, she shares some of that wisdom, explaining the truth behind resilience, why emotions are neutral data, and she describes how “nice-looking” rules can actually prevent the necessary actions that leaders need to take. It's a wonderful conversation with so many nuggets for wherever you are on your leadership journey.

What's my body doing? What are my thoughts? How am I positioned in the situation? An honest reflection of HOW you are, not who." — Dr. Ute LierschAbout Dr. Ute Liersch, Chartered Counselling and Coaching Psychologist:Dr. Ute Liersch is a Chartered Counselling and Coaching Psychologist based in the UK, with over a decade of experience working at the intersection of mental health, leadership, and neurodiversity.

I sat down with personal growth coach Danny Kennedy for round two of one of the rawest conversations I've had on this show, on belief, identity and the team overhaul happening inside Geronimo right now. Follow the show: Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube Instagram I had a heart attack. Four weeks ago I started therapy. In two weeks I start EMDR. I'm telling you this before anything else, because the biggest jump my business has made all year didn't come from a new funnel, a new hire or a new tactic. It came from the inside, on the exhale of a breathwork session where I genuinely felt like I turned into an eagle, and I came out the other side making decisions like a different person than the one who walked in. Danny is a personal growth coach to some of the biggest names in the game, and he sat me down and called it straight. You're not stuck because of your team, your market or your funnel. You're stuck because you haven't decided who you're being yet, and your team, your revenue and your capacity are all just catching up to that decision. This one gets into the belief work behind that shift, and the very practical, sometimes uncomfortable team redesign that's come out of it. In this episode you'll hear: Why acting as if sold out our newest coaching tier in a week, and the one question now running every decision in my business. The belief test that decides whether you build a $100 outcome or an empire, and why they take exactly the same amount of work. The real reason we ripped out every layer of middle management, and what the research on the top 8% of teams actually says separates them (it isn't talent). The morning non negotiables and the offline weekend that are producing my biggest ideas this year. Why nervous system regulation, not another growth hack, is about to become the real competitive advantage for founders.

What happens when your body forces you to slow down? In this episode, I sit down with therapist Hannah Smith for a deeply honest conversation about her unexpected experience with three strokes—and the profound personal and professional lessons that emerged from her healing journey. Hannah shares what the experience taught her about the costs of striving and productivity culture, the importance of listening to our bodies, accepting help, and allowing ourselves to rest. We also talk about the incredible support she received from her physical therapist and how community became an essential part of her healing. As an EMDR- and IFS-informed therapist specializing in women's mental health, Hannah also shares how volunteering during an EMDR training unexpectedly shifted the trajectory of her healing and how integrating EMDR and IFS supported her recovery. Together, we explore what it means for therapists to do their own inner work, recognize when we're overriding our needs, and create more space for rest, connection, and nervous-system regulation. In This Episode We Explore: Hannah's experience of having three strokes and the unexpected impact on her life The silver lining of being forced to slow down Productivity and striving culture—and the pressure to always be doing more Learning to listen to the body and recognize our needs The importance of rest and downtime for the nervous system Letting go of the belief that we have to do everything ourselves The healing power of accepting help and community The unexpected role of an EMDR training in Hannah's healing How EMDR and IFS worked together in her recovery Why therapists need to prioritize their own inner work Lessons Hannah learned personally and professionally through her experience Creating a life that allows for more rest, support, and authenticity About Hannah Smith Hannah Smith is a Cincinnati-area therapist specializing in women's mental health.

A wide-ranging conversation about identity, therapy, psychedelics, and artificial intelligence. He shares how his own origin story shaped his understanding of narrative agency, self-knowledge, and the limits of expert systems. The discussion also digs into the promise and risks of combining EMDR, ketamine, MDMA, psilocybin, and AI in therapeutic work. MARK A. MICHAELS, a writer and conceptual artist. Mark's work examines fundamental paradigm dilemmas in both traditional psychotherapy and contemporary psychedelic therapy. In his forthcoming preprint, BINARIES, MULTITUDES, AND BEYOND, Mark focuses the lens on his own journey and uses narrative analysis and critique to explore how authority, expertise, and healing are currently defined. https://markamichaels.com/about/ Key topics In this episode, Mark Michaels explains why he calls himself an "uncontrolled experiment" and how being conceived through artificial insemination shaped his worldview. The conversation covers the secrecy and social shame around sperm donation, infertility, and the long-term effects of not knowing one's biological origins. Mark describes the eight-year process of uncovering his biological father through research and DNA testing, and how that discovery changed his sense of self. He connects that origin story to his interest in identity, narrative agency, psychotherapy, and the promises and limits of science. Mark discusses his early exposure to therapy as a child and his teenage experimentation with LSD, including an early bad trip and later renewed interest in psychedelics. The episode centers on his recent treatment program combining EMDR, ketamine, MDMA, psilocybin, and AI-assisted reflection after a severe post-divorce mental health crisis. Mark argues that ketamine-assisted EMDR can accelerate therapeutic work by making clients more open and reducing psychological defenses. He is sharply critical of therapy culture when it becomes passive, overly rigid, or unwilling to share power with clients. The conversation examines the shortcomings of therapist training, especially when practitioners cling to one modality and fail to support client-led exploration. Mark and the hosts discuss the "wild west" state of psychedelic therapy, including concerns about over-medicalization, bad actors, and unregulated practice. The AI section focuses on both usefulness and danger, including hallucinated facts, false confidence, "kissing my butt" responses, and the risk of reinforcing poor psychological ideas. Mark explains that AI is best used as a high-speed organizer and drafting tool, but only if the user already has enough subject knowledge to challenge errors. The episode closes with Mark encouraging people in crisis to get help, evaluate whether therapy is actually working, and seek support rather than enduring alone.   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.

Leaders are tired. Not all tiredness is the same, though, and understanding what kind of tired we are experiencing can be an important first step toward meaningful rest and self-care. In this conversation, Trisha and therapist Chelsie Sargent explore the different kinds of fatigue leaders experience, from burnout and compassion fatigue to the exhaustion we create for ourselves by overcommitting, ignoring boundaries, and staying constantly "on." Together, they consider what authentic self-care and rest can look like for leaders.   Chelsie Sargent is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate of Professional Counseling. She has extensive experience working with individuals, families, teens, and young adults, with a focus on issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, abuse, and anger management. Chelsea is also a Certified Anger Resolution Therapist and has training in the Enneagram and EMDR.

Welcome back to Cannabis School! This week's Sesh begins with Brandon discovering that his mom shared the podcast with someone who recently started working in human resources for a cannabis retailer.Apparently, Cannabis School is becoming an unexpected educational resource—which is exciting and slightly terrifying when you remember how quickly these conversations can leave the classroom.Brandon and Jesse settle into the session with a custom cannabis combination: Novarine by Find Cannabis mixed with Black Triangle. The vapor feels dry on the throat, but the combination produces a strong, relaxing experience that the guys decide to call Deep Diver.The conversation takes a serious turn as Brandon and Jesse discuss trauma, survival responses, personal growth, and the different ways people process difficult experiences. They talk about compassion, observation, professional therapy, and why healing does not follow a universal schedule.From there, the discussion moves into tall tales, invented identities, military stories, and the possibility that some people create elaborate versions of themselves to protect—or escape—the person underneath.Once the Deep Diver combination fully arrives, the Sesh becomes considerably less focused. The guys revisit Robin Williams' unpredictable comedy, discuss common misconceptions about stimulant drugs, and share cautionary stories about past substance use and poor decisions.Jesse recalls an early-2000s experience involving friends, an old manual Honda Civic, one enormous mistake, and a very close encounter with a fire hydrant. It is a funny story in hindsight, but also a clear example of how quickly impaired decisions can become dangerous.This is a classic Cannabis School Sesh: thoughtful, personal, funny, occasionally uncomfortable, and intended for mature audiences.In this episode:• Brandon's mom shares Cannabis School• Cannabis education in an unexpected workplace• Trauma, survival responses, and healing• EMDR and professional mental-health support• Tall tales and invented identities• Mixing Novarine with Black Triangle• The Deep Diver cannabis combination• Remembering Robin Williams• Misconceptions about stimulant drugs• Jesse's cautionary stories about past substance use• An old Honda Civic and a very close call• Why the Storz & Bickel Volcano remains a show favorite Chapters:00:16 Brandon's mom shares Cannabis School02:00 A serious conversation about trauma05:25 Different responses to difficult experiences09:37 Healing does not follow a schedule10:18 EMDR and processing the past11:18 Tall tales and invented identities20:15 Novarine mixed with Black Triangle20:48 The Deep Diver combination arrives21:21 Remembering Robin Williams23:40 Comedy and substance-use stories26:18 Clearing up stimulant misconceptions28:04 Jesse's early-2000s story31:39 The runaway Honda Civic33:14 A close call with the parents38:04 The Storz & Bickel Volcano This episode contains mature discussions about trauma and past substance use.

Send us Fan Mail One in five people you know is connected to adoption, yet most of us never ask the quiet question underneath it: what does it feel like to grow up without your first story? That is where we start, with adoption trauma that does not announce itself as “trauma” but shows up as identity fog, chronic anxiety, and a lifelong search for belonging.  We are joined by Patricia Knight Meyer, the voice behind My Adopted Life and the author of the upcoming memoir Wonderland Memoir of a Black Market Adoption. Together we unpack a common myth that adoption is automatically a win-win, then get honest about the separation wound and how the body holds early loss. Patricia explains genetic mirroring, the chameleon instinct many adoptees develop to fit in, and the ordinary moments that can sting, from medical history forms to being asked your date of birth. We also talk about relationships and attachment, why trust can feel risky, and how one negative review can hit like a knife when rejection sensitivity is already turned up.  Then we move into tools you can actually try: grounding into the body, long rhythmic breathing, humming to support vagus nerve regulation, meditation and visualization, and yoga. We also dig into writing as a healing practice, what surprises people when they finally put the truth on the page, and how therapy including EMDR can help you process what your mind and body have carried for years.  If any part of this lands for you, share this with someone who needs it, subscribe for more conversations on mental health and healing, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

— Why do we keep repeating the same painful relationship patterns, even when we desperately want things to be different? Why do some people fear abandonment, while others pull away when relationships become too close? And how much of our ability to love, trust, and feel emotionally safe is shaped by the experiences we had long before we entered our first romantic relationship? Attachment theory suggests that our earliest relationships create a blueprint for how we connect with others throughout life. These unconscious patterns can influence everything from our communication style and conflict resolution to our sense of self-worth, emotional security, and capacity for intimacy. The encouraging news is that these patterns are not fixed. With awareness, compassion, and intentional effort, it is possible to heal old wounds, develop greater emotional resilience, and create relationships built on trust, safety, and genuine connectionIn today's conversation, we'll explore the fascinating world of attachment styles, how they shape our inner lives and relationships, why so many of us get stuck in predictable cycles of conflict and disconnection, and what it takes to move toward more secure, healthy, and fulfilling connections—with others and with ourselves. Because at the heart of every human being is a desire to feel seen, understood, accepted, and loved. Valeria interviews  Marc Cameron — He is the author of  "Understanding Your Attachment Style: The Path to Overcoming Unhelpful Patterns and Building Healthy, Secure Relationships." Marc Cameron is an author, speaker, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Newport Beach, California specializing in couple's therapy. Alongside his private practice, Marc and his wife, Amy, lead How We Love, an organization founded by Milan and Kay Yerkovich birthed from their groundbreaking book on attachment by the same name.  Marc firmly believes that developing secure attachments is the key to creating strong and fulfilling connections between couples and within families.

— What if many of the struggles we face today—our relationships, self-doubt, anxiety, or the ways we cope with life's challenges—are rooted in emotional patterns that began long before we were aware of them? As children, we all have fundamental emotional needs, and when those needs go unmet, we often develop beliefs and protective strategies that help us survive but may no longer serve us as adults. In today's conversation, we'll explore the science of Schema Therapy and how understanding these deeply ingrained patterns can help us heal childhood wounds, cultivate self-compassion, build healthier relationships, and strengthen what therapists call our "Healthy Adult"—the part of us that can respond to life with wisdom, resilience, and love. Valeria sits with Dr. Leslie Muetzelfeldt  — She is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and she works with adults in private practice in Central London.   Her background includes neuropsychology, Intensive Care/ Major Trauma and Adult Mental Health. Dr Muetzelfeldt employs an integrative, person-centred approach using Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness and EMDR. Her warm and empathetic approach aims to help adults develop self-compassion and healthier relationships by processing childhood traumas, building emotional resilience, and an ability to tolerate uncertainty.  Learn more about Dr. Leslie Muetzelfeldt and her work!

Shame might be the silent architect behind our biggest relationship struggles—fueling secrecy, driving distance, and making genuine intimacy feel just out of reach. When the fear of rejection or not being enough sneaks in, it often keeps us locked in painful cycles of criticism, defensiveness, and disconnect. But what if the way we react to shame is the very thing sabotaging our deepest connections? In this episode, the discussion dives into how shame operates beneath the surface of issues like betrayal, addiction, and disconnection, and offers concrete strategies for transforming these patterns. Through personal stories, therapeutic insights, and powerful principles such as courage, context, and compassion, listeners are guided in breaking free from shame's grip. The conversation also explores practical ways to practice vulnerability, build safety, and foster more authentic connections—both with ourselves and our partners. Brannon Patrick, LCSW, and Tyler Patrick, LMFT, are brothers and licensed clinicians who help individuals and couples heal after infidelity, addiction, and the trust rupture that follows. With 20+ years each in addiction and trauma work, they bring both depth and straight talk, translating complex psychology into practical next steps people can use immediately. Together, they host The Therapy Brothers, a weekly call-in show where real people work through betrayal, shame, trauma, and addiction in real time, with over 500 episodes and nearly 2 million downloads. Their approach centers on heart work: healing the underlying trauma and shame so couples can rebuild trust with honesty, accountability, empathy, and healthy strength.   Episode Highlights 03:25 Overcoming betrayal and rebuilding trust. 07:34 Authenticity vs connection in relationships. 12:17 Shame's hidden impact on self-image. 15:35 Using IFS to overcome shame. 18:39 Choosing love and self-awareness. 21:10 Navigating shame's impact on relationships. 24:13 Navigating vulnerability in relationships. 28:28 Embracing compassion over self-criticism. 31:52 Exploring EFT and emotional connectivity. 34:48 Recovering trust after betrayal. 36:45 The trust equation and lasting love. 41:54 Beginning your healing journey.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Practice Courage: Begin sharing your personal story and feelings with people you trust, focusing on authenticity and vulnerability. Build Context: Remind yourself you are not alone in your struggles; seek out others with similar experiences to normalize your feelings and reduce shame. Cultivate Compassion: Replace self-criticism with curiosity and kindness; when you notice a harsh inner voice, intentionally respond with understanding instead. Separate Your Parts: Use parts work or Internal Family Systems (IFS) to identify shame-driven and protective parts within yourself, then approach them with gratitude rather than rejection. Join a Support Group: Find or create safe spaces such as group therapy or support circles where you can practice vulnerability and receive nonjudgmental feedback. Create Boundaries: Establish healthy internal and external boundaries so you can engage with others' emotions without absorbing attacks or losing your sense of self. Get Professional Help: Explore modalities such as IFS, EMDR, ART, or DBT to address entrenched patterns and trauma that reinforce shame. Work on Relationship Recovery: If healing from betrayal, prioritize establishing safety and consistency, then focus on individual growth alongside nurturing relationship trust and intimacy.   Mentioned The Therapy Brothers (podcast) Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free relationship guide)   Connect with Tyler and Brannon Patrick Website: therapybrothers.org YouTube: youtube.com/@lovestrong | youtube.com/@therapy.brothers  Facebook: facebook.com/love.strong.org | facebook.com/ExpertBrannon  Instagram: instagram.com/therapy.brothers/ | instagram.com/sunrisegoal LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/brannon-patrick/ | linkedin.com/in/tyler-patrick-lmft-24488366/ | linkedin.com/in/chase-jones-b63368128

How does your body hold your culture, your identity, and your story? ✨ In this week's episode of Holistic Inner Balance, we are joined by the incredible Marcia Bonato Warren for a deeply grounding conversation on culture, identity, and the body. Marcia Bonato Warren is a licensed somatic counselor, teacher, and author who integrates social justice, Indigenous ways of knowing, and somatic psychology into her practice. Holding a Master's degree in Somatic Counseling from Naropa University, her work focuses on helping individuals explore their cultural identities, repattern trauma, and embrace embodied code switching as a proactive strength. From handling unexpected technological glitches in real time to exploring how our family lineages shape our nervous system responses, Marcia teaches us how to move with life's unpredictability rather than fight it.   In this episode, we explore: Embodied Code-Switching®: Moving beyond language to understand how our bodies physically adapt and shift across different cultural contexts. The Three Levels of Somatic Awareness: Unpacking social, emotional, and environmental awareness—and how architecture and online spaces inform how we show up. Oscillation & Grounding: How shifting your attention between internal sensations and external environments helps repattern trauma and build true self-trust. Navigating the Age of AI: Cultivating inner discernment and body-based knowing when external reality feels questioned or gaslit. Your body isn't just a vehicle—it's a rich landscape holding your ancestral wisdom, your boundaries, and your truth.  

Annalie Howling will tell you that shame is the hardest emotion in the room to name, and that this is precisely why it runs so much of our lives. Ask a group who is feeling anxious, and every hand goes up, and each person can list what they are anxious about. Ask about shame, and you get silence. She is an elite performance coach, a trauma specialist and certified EMDR practitioner, and the author of the bestselling Unapologetic: Unshackle Your Shame, Reclaim Your Power. In 2026 Spear’s Magazine ranked her among the world’s best life and performance coaches. Over twenty years, she has worked with Hollywood actors, PGA Tour golfers, self-made billionaires, corporate executives and members of the UK Special Forces. So when Catherine asked her to unpack what shame actually is, Annalie did not reach for a definition. She reached for a distinction. Guilt is something you did. Shame is something you believe yourself to be. A weed, not a feeling The model Annalie offers reframes almost everything sitting on top of it, and it asks nobody to become a therapist. Picture a weed in the garden. The leaves are guilt and anxiety, the emotions we can name and discuss. Guilt is coulda, woulda, shoulda, and it lives in the past. Anxiety lives in the future, trying to control the uncontrollable by rehearsing every possible scenario before it happens. Beneath the leaves is the stem, which is the inner critic, or what many of us call imposter syndrome. Its only job is to make sure we are never rejected, and the only method it knows is to keep us inside the comfort zone it patrols. So it makes us perfect, people-pleasing, hyper-vigilant, chameleon-like. Should, in Annalie’s view, should be a swear word. Should is the fuel of the inner critic. And beneath all of it, always, is the root. Shame. You can trim the leaves with an intervention. You can even get partway down the stem with something you read online. But if you never reach the root, it grows back, in a different form, at a different time. Shame always begins with “I am” That is how you recognise it. I am broken. I am unworthy. I am unlovable. I am not enough. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am bad, and it is believed at the core rather than felt on a difficult day. Annalie is candid that this is not theory for her. She grew up in a violent household where her parents told her she made her father beat her, and her mother colluded and told her it was her fault. She believed it. She internalised it. What followed was decades of people pleasing and performing, accepting scraps in relationships, overworking into burnout, and years of self-harm, all built on the belief that she was bad and therefore deserved none of what she had built. Nobody is born with shame. It arrives through a significant emotional event, and that event can be far smaller than you would expect. Annalie describes a client whose entire path of self-belief shifted because a head teacher pulled them aside at eight years old and told them they would probably not achieve very much. The line that releases people The most freeing moment in the conversation is a piece of science. In a traumatic event, the prefrontal cortex goes offline, and so does Broca’s area, which holds language. The limbic system takes over. Fight, flight, freeze, and the two we rarely discuss: flop and fawn. Crucially, you never get to choose your trauma response. It is selected for you, far faster than cognitive thought can arrive. Meanwhile, the body is tagging everything: colours, smells, people, storing what it might need later. It is why someone can be floored in a supermarket years afterwards, or why a person who sat with a loved one in a hospice suddenly cannot fly, because airports use the same cleaning products. Annalie leaves the audience with three golden nuggets: If self-compassion feels impossible, place someone you love into the memory and watch the scene through them. Treat a compliment like a gift in a box, because you would never throw it on the floor. When your inner critic is riding you, imagine it is true and dream into it. The point is not that the critic disappears. It is that you learn to play with it. Watch the full conversation on YouTube.

A single moment can split your life into before and after, and sometimes the shock isn't just what happened today, it's what your body has been holding for decades. We sit down with Leanne Sheargold, to unpack how repressed childhood trauma can hide in the nervous system and show up later as nausea, panic, brain fog, extreme tiredness, and sudden dissociation. Leanne shares her path through a stroke at 28, motherhood under pressure, and then the terrifying experience of buried memories surfacing in midlife after conflict and escalating control at home.We talk candidly about what dissociation can look like in real life, why sleep can become impossible, and how “I can't explain it” is often a trauma response, not a failure. Leanne also explains the reality of seeking help: the challenge of finding the right therapist, what EMDR therapy was like when it went deep, and why safety and consistency matter more than willpower. If you've ever felt like talk therapy alone keeps opening the wound without fully clearing it, this conversation gives you language and options.Then we move into Leanne's work with energetic healing and quantum healing, including how she approaches trauma as layers in the body, how she avoids putting labels on clients, and what a distance healing session can look like over Zoom. We also explore patterns that repeat through relationships and family lines, plus a powerful story of chronic fatigue improving after steady, layered work.If this resonates, subscribe for more honest conversations about trauma recovery, somatic healing, EMDR, and holistic wellness.

Paul's back — overwhelmed, in Philadelphia, and dealing with Charlie the eight-month-old black golden retriever who has somehow managed to poop both on the couch and out of his crate onto the floor in the same week. Meanwhile I'm freshly returned from a stretch of travel — East Coast, bachelor party, four-ish weeks in Vancouver — carrying a little anxiety and a long to-do list I've made peace with probably never finishing. We got real about that feeling of losing the fire you had when you first started your business, and whether that's a red flag or just what sustainable looks like after you've been doing this long enough. Paul also dropped that he's doing EMDR therapy, had a full panic attack in his first session when the electrode buzzed his surgically repaired shoulder, and somehow still booked the follow-up. Wild.Then we got into the actual reason Paul wanted to do this episode: he's tired of answering questions about electrolytes. Not because it's a bad question — but because most people asking it genuinely do not need them. The marketing from brands like LMNT, Liquid IV, and basically every podcast sponsor on the internet has convinced everyday gym-goers and dog walkers that they're chronically electrolyte-deficient. They're not. Paul is our head of R&D here at These Little Moments, and he came with the research to back it up.We break down what electrolytes actually are — sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, calcium — and what they do in the body. The key one for hydration is sodium, because where sodium goes, water flows. And the people who actually need to supplement with it are endurance athletes, heavy sweaters, people who are sick and losing fluids fast, those on strict keto, folks with certain medical conditions like POTS, and some older adults at risk of dehydration. If you're going to the gym for an hour or walking your dog, you don't need to slam 1000mg of sodium. You probably just need more water.We also talk about the GI side effects of stevia in a lot of electrolyte powders, how to actually tell if you're a salty sweater (lick test, or look for the white salt line on your hat — Paul's running caps are apparently evidence), why Gatorade actually gets unfairly roasted, the proper dosing window for endurance athletes, and — in true These Little Moments fashion — whether squishing a cockroach releases its eggs. Science was done. Verdict reached. You're welcome.⭐ Please leave a 5-star review wherever you listen to this podcast

What if you were never actually supposed to calm yourself down alone?Dr. Arielle Schwartz breaks down why self-soothing on your own rarely works and why real calm actually depends on co-regulation with another person. This conversation goes beyond standard nervous system advice into the difference between empathy and compassion, and why too much of the wrong one leaves you just as burned out as before. It's the conversation you need if you've ever wondered why willpower alone never seems to be enough.What you'll learn:Why your nervous system can't calm down without another personThe real difference between empathy and compassionWhy what looks like burnout is often unprocessed traumaDr. Arielle Schwartz is a clinical psychologist who has spent thirty years treating complex trauma using a nervous-system-informed, non-pathologizing approach. She combines EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work into a model she calls Resilience-Informed Therapy, and has written eight books on trauma recovery. Her work reframes trauma symptoms as adaptive responses rather than pathology, which shapes everything in this conversation.Find Arielle's work and all links at: mindlove.com/465Want real support instead of trying to calm yourself down completely on your own?

In this powerful episode of Beauty of Colors, we sit down with Eric Fisher, a Canadian Certified Counsellor with more than 13 years of experience helping individuals heal from trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Eric takes a holistic approach to recovery, combining evidence-based therapies with deep compassion to help people rediscover hope, purpose, and connection. His work includes Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and personality development through the MBTI. Together, we explore questions so many people quietly wrestle with: Why do painful memories continue to control our lives? Can healing happen without reliving every traumatic moment? How does addiction begin, and what truly helps people recover? Why is self-compassion one of the hardest but most important steps in healing? What does it really mean to start over after trauma? Whether you're navigating your own healing journey, supporting someone you love, or simply want to understand the human mind on a deeper level, this conversation offers hope, practical insight, and a reminder that recovery isn't about becoming someone new, t's about reconnecting with who you were before the pain.
