Episode Summary: In this conversation, we explore what it really means to understand IFS as a relational therapy. Alyce and I discuss how attention itself is relational, how Self-energy becomes an internal secure base. Everything happening inside our system shapes how we show up in our external relationships. We talk about titrating small changes, noticing shifts in Self-energy, and reframing “triggers” as trailheads into deeper awareness and healing. This episode invites you to see IFS not simply as a model of parts, but as a pathway toward secure internal attachment and relational integration with ourselves and others.  If you're interested in how IFS and attachment theory deepen trauma work and everyday relationships, this episode offers both clinical clarity and practical insight. Topics Discussed: How attention itself is relational Why IFS is fundamentally a relational therapy Noticing and strengthening Self-energy Reframing triggers as trailheads Titrating small shifts instead of forcing change How internal relationships shape external ones Gently leading and creating boundaries with our children About Our Guest: Alyce Messer, LCSW-S, is an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant and IFS Level 2-trained therapist specializing in complex trauma and therapist wellness. She integrates EMDR and IFS to help clinicians and clients cultivate differentiation, Self-leadership, and healing through secure internal attachment. At its core, this conversation is about how the core of healing is really cultivating relationship, both with ourselves and others.

There are conversations that stretch you a little. And then there are conversations that gently but firmly rearrange the furniture in your mind. This week, I sat down with Keith Kurlander and Will Van Derveer—co-founders of the Integrative Psychiatry Institute—to talk about something that's generating a lot of curiosity and, let's be honest, some anxiety: psychedelic-assisted therapy. Before you brace yourself, this isn't a hype session. It's a thoughtful, grounded conversation about trauma, the nervous system, and what happens when traditional therapy isn't enough to reach the deepest layers of pain we carry. We explored how trauma shapes our personalities, how it imprints on the body, and why insight alone often doesn't create lasting change. As someone who cares deeply about the Enneagram and recovery, I found this especially compelling. So much of our personality structure is built around adaptation—strategies that once kept us safe but now quietly run the show. Keith and Will explain how psychedelic-assisted therapy, when done legally and in carefully structured clinical settings, may help people access and heal places that feel otherwise unreachable. We also talk about the risks, the ethics, and the importance of discernment. This isn't about chasing peak experiences. It's about healing what's unfinished. If you've ever felt stuck in patterns that insight alone couldn't untangle… if you've wondered whether deeper healing is possible… this conversation might open a door.           LEARN MORE ABOUT WILL AND KEITH WILL VAN DERVEER, MD, is a leader in the adoption of integrative psychiatry practices to treat mental health issues.

What happens when a mother and daughter go no contact for four years — and actually find their way back? In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, I sit down with authors Leslie and Lindsey Glass, co-creators of The Mother-Daughter Relationship Makeover: 4 Steps to Bring Back the Love and its companion workbook for lasting change. Together, we dive deep into addiction, recovery, enmeshment, control, accountability, anger, forgiveness, and the cultural rise of estrangement between mothers and adult daughters. Lindsey shares how her journey through addiction recovery, therapy, EMDR, Al-Anon, and deep self-inquiry helped her understand her role in the breakdown of their relationship. Leslie speaks candidly about micromanagement, control masked as care, and the painful realization that “helping” can sometimes feel like domination. We explore:• The epidemic of no contact in women • The difference between toxic danger and reactive pain• Negotiated separation vs. total cutoff• How addiction and family trauma distort memory and identity• Why anger is often unprocessed hurt• What real accountability looks like on both sidesThis isn't about blaming mothers or daughters. It's about doing the work. You can learn more about Leslie and Lindsey Glass, their books, articles, and resources at reachoutrecovery.com — where they offer over 2,000 articles on addiction recovery, mental health, and family healing. This is a conversation about self-discovery, letting go, and what becomes possible when both people are willing to evolve.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

This is us. Moms who've lived it — sitting together having a real, unfiltered conversation about the one thing that keeps so many of us stuck: the feeling that it's all so damn unfair.We talked about the hard parts of co-parenting after divorce — the uneven load, the chronic illness with no support, the special-needs kids mostly on one parent's shoulders, the guilt, the waiting for him to step up or see what he lost, the resentment that still flares even when we think we've done the work.We named it all.Then we went deeper.We explored how that loud “it's so unfair” story is often rooted in something quieter: an old belief that we're not quite worthy, not quite enough, not safe unless someone else makes it right. We talked about the moment we realized we chose these men (the signs were there), how guilt can quietly turn us into over-functioning parents, and why acceptance doesn't have to feel like giving up.We also got honest about what finally started to move the needle for us: looking at the resentment in the body (especially the liver), using gentle homeopathic support to help clear what talk therapy alone sometimes can't touch, and doing the slow work of reclaiming our own worth instead of waiting for fairness from the outside.There were a few mic-drop moments. There was laughter. There were tears. And there was a lot of “oh… that's why it's been so hard to let go.”If you're tired of carrying the unfairness like a quiet weight in your chest every time you co-parent, this conversation might be the one that helps you see it differently — and finally feel some space around it.Click Here For Destined Homeopathics Blend: UnburdenWelcome to Panel Rant Thursday.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyCoachDawnInstagram: (@dawnwiggins)Instagram: (@coachtiffini)On the Web: https://www.mycoachdawn.comA podcast exploring the journey of life after divorce, delving into topics like divorce grief, loneliness, anxiety, manifesting, the impact of different attachment styles and codependency, setting healthy boundaries, energy healing with homeopathy, managing the nervous system during divorce depression, understanding the stages of divorce grief, and using the Law of Attraction and EMDR therapy in the process of building your confidence, forgiveness and letting go.Support the show✨Join the Cocoon Community - your people are waiting! ✨ Stress-Less Flower Essence

We're introducing a new segment called 'On The Trail' aimed at providing short, meaty, and to-the-point tips for online marketing!!In this episode, we're diving into a question I'm hearing from a lot of therapists lately: Is it just me, or has my website traffic and inquiries dropped off a cliff? I'll walk you through what's happening behind the scenes in SEO and online marketing, and what you can do about it.Therapists are seeing fewer website visitors, fewer calls, and wondering if something's broken. It can feel isolating, like maybe your practice is doing something wrong. But you're not alone — this is a trend we're seeing industry-wide.You might think the solution is just to post more on Instagram or start a blog. While those can help, they won't fix the core issue. The truth is, search engine behavior and how people find therapists online is changing... fast.Key Highlights:1. What's Changed in SEO Over the Last YearGoogle's algorithm updates have prioritized helpful, original, and authoritative content.AI-generated content has flooded the web, so Google's gotten stricter on quality signals.Local SEO results are more competitive — especially in saturated markets.2. How AI is Changing the GameMore people are using ChatGPT or AI tools to ask questions instead of searching Google.Google's AI snapshots (Search Generative Experience) are pulling answers right into results pages — meaning fewer clicks to websites.3. It's Not Just You — It's a Landscape ShiftEven well-optimized therapy websites are seeing fluctuations.Less organic traffic doesn't always mean fewer clients — but it does mean we need to be more strategic.So what can you do about it?...✅ 1. Get an SEO Assessment of Your WebsiteBefore you start making changes, it's essential to understand why traffic has dropped. An SEO assessment can reveal:Technical issues (like slow load times, broken links, poor mobile experience)On-page optimization gaps (are your keywords still relevant?)Local SEO visibility (are you showing up in Google Maps for your city?)This gives you a clear baseline and prioritizes what to fix — instead of guessing. (This is exactly what we do with our SEO assessments at Private Practice Elevation.)✍️ 2. Update or Create One Piece of High-Intent ContentChoose one key service (like EMDR therapy or couples counseling) and ask:Does your website have a page that clearly explains what this is, who it helps, and how someone can get started?Is that page optimized for local search terms (e.g. "EMDR therapy in Denver")?Focus on creating or refreshing one solid, helpful page — rather than trying to write 10 blog posts.

Betrayal doesn't just hurt. It rewires your nervous system, shakes your ability to trust yourself, and makes you question everything you thought you knew about your relationship. In this episode, Joe Sanok shares what happened when his marriage ended suddenly on an RV trip, how he navigated the shock of becoming an unexpected single dad, and what it actually took to rebuild his life without replaying the same patterns.Joe talks openly about waking up in a camper next to someone who was already gone, the nervous system chaos that followed, and why he built a "support committee" instead of white-knuckling his way through alone. We also get into dating after betrayal, how to show up for yourself when everything feels uncertain, and what it looks like to trust again without abandoning the parts of you that are still healing.This conversation is for anyone who's been blindsided by betrayal, anyone who's had to rebuild their sense of safety from the ground up, or anyone who's wondered if they'll ever feel solid in a relationship again.Topics covered:What betrayal trauma does to your nervous systemHow Joe's marriage ended and what the early days looked likeWhy building a support committee matters more than going it aloneDating after betrayal without repeating the same patternsLearning to trust yourself again after your judgment feels brokenHow to parent through your own crisisRebuilding safety in your body and relationshipsDownload Joe's new book: Dating After Betrayal: A Guided Healing and Re-Entry Experience here.Listen to Joe's podcast, Practice of the Practice on Apple or SpotifyLearn more about Joe's Consulting ServicesThanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!

Have you ever felt the need to choose between non-profit and private practice? Is it possible to do both? My guest today, Tina, has found a way to do so! She believes in sustainability, both in business and her personal life. For Tina, being able to offer her services in the non-profit sector helps her to make sure her expertise is available to people who need the support but can't easily afford it, and seeing private clients in her solo practice helps her to support herself!   By combining both approaches, Tina can make sure she utilizes both her passion and her skills, and live while working in a way that feels fully integrated with her values. If you want to learn more, come join our conversation!  MEET TINA Tina Bells is a Registered Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist based in Toronto, where she also serves as the Grief and Bereavement Coordinator for a local hospice. She is the owner of Grounded Voice Psychotherapy, her Private Practice, where she supports individuals experiencing loss and Spiritual abuse. With a Master's in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy and over a decade of experience in non-profits, including those such as shelters and correctional services, all of which inform her holistic, compassionate approach. Learn more about Tina on her practice website, Psychology Today, and LinkedIn profiles.  In this episode:  What motivated Tina to become a therapist  Going into private practice  Managing a diverse schedule  Tina's goals for 2026 Tina's advice to listeners  What motivated Tina to become a therapist There was no big, sudden moment of realization that Tina had to know she wanted to become a therapist. Instead, pursuing therapy came from a lifetime of interest in other people. 'I think it was a series of small things over time. I always knew I wanted to support people, that's what led to the Master's in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy, and then into the non-profit work that I have been doing for the last two decades.' - Tina Bells  Initially, Tina worked mostly with people who were struggling with addictions, but with time, her passions shifted, things changed, and she began to focus on grief. That pulled her in and encouraged her to pivot her career.  Going into private practice  While Tina continues to work in the non-profit sector, she has begun her own Canadian private practice to prevent burnout.  'I think sustainability is an ethical issue, and that private practice allows me to do both [non-profit and private practice work], and allows me to have meaningful work in non-profit and provide for clients in a way that you can't when you're in the system.' - Tina Bells  For Tina, having one foot in both the non-profit sector and private practice enables her to find a clear, sustainable balance between serving her community and her passions while still being able to earn a stable income to support herself.  'It's really amazing to serve in that way, and to meet the needs of people who wouldn't be able to access mental healthcare otherwise. [And] when you're in private practice, you're able to meet a need in a different way, so you get more time with people. You get to see some of that long-term [change].' - Tina Bells Therefore, Tina can give support and care to people who need assistance through non-profit sectors, and also continue seeing her private practice clients.  Managing a diverse schedule  Since Tina works in both non-profit and private practice, she needs to be strategic with her time.  At the moment, she works for three days in a non-profit and two days in her private practice. With this split, she's able to work with both groups of people and still afford her lifestyle.  Additionally, her private practice is completely virtual, which helps her manage her work from home on her dedicated practice days.  Tina's goals for 2026 For 2026, Tina's main goal is to get groups up and running in her Canadian private practice.  'I'm trying to generate some interest in that. I would really love to do a group that focuses on the grief around losing a spiritual community. I think that's a really big piece, and it's not something that's often talked about, so that's my goal … To get a group going.' - Tina Bells She has added this option to her Psychology Today profile just to start the process. While she hasn't gotten any clients for the groups yet, the year has just begun! And Tina knows it will take some time to develop.  Additionally, Tina has goals to expand her marketing efforts, especially when it comes to networking and meeting new people in the community. If you are a non-profit or private practice owner, reach out to Tina and connect.  Tina's advice to listeners Don't underestimate the importance (and power!) of good supervision. Working with an expert and compassionate mentor can help you cover so much ground, especially if you are feeling unsure, nervous, or unsure how to begin this journey into therapy.  Connect with me: Instagram Website  Resources mentioned and useful links: Nadia and Debora D'Luso: A Sister-Team in Private Practice | EP 188 Learn more about the tools and deals that I love and use for my Canadian private practice Sign up for my free e-course on How to Start an Online Canadian Private Practice Jane App (use code FEARLESS2MO for two months free) Get started with Hushmail here and get one month for free!

Jameela Jamil (The Good Place, Elio) joins us this week for a wildly honest conversation about chronic illness, passive self destruction and why she is done biohacking her life. Jameela opens up about living with Ehlers Danlos syndrome, surviving childhood abuse, the nervous breakdown that turned her into a truth teller and how EMDR therapy completely rewired her relationship to trauma and fear. We also get into her war on beauty and the unbelievable way a school bully pushed her straight into The Good Place. Thank you to our sponsors:

In today's episode, we're talking about ADHD that looks like overwhelmed and under-functioning: when your brain gets so flooded that it can't prioritize, and instead of choosing a next step… it shuts down.You'll learn what overwhelm really is in the context of ADHD (total cognitive, emotional, and/or sensory flooding), why “freeze” can be a very real nervous system response, and how this pattern often develops especially for those who grew up criticized, emotionally unsafe, unsupported, or chronically overwhelmed. If you've ever thought, “I'm not hyper—I'm stuck,” this episode is for you.We'll break down the common pattern: Overwhelm → Freeze → UnderfunctioningNot because you don't care, but because your system can't handle the load.Then we move into gentle, practical ways to “thaw” without bullying yourself:Name it and accept it (without shame)Use safe, doable movement to activate your systemShrink the cognitive load (two essentials, tiny timers, one-minute starts)Borrow someone else's brain (ask for help, then obey)Reduce decisions wherever possiblePractice deep self-compassion as the pathway to changeFinally, we talk about when to get extra support—especially trauma-informed therapy and nervous-system-based approaches like EMDR or somatic work.Watch this episode on YouTubeWant help with your ADHD?

Recognizing our superpower as parents is the name of the game today, and it's not about having all the answers. Our presence alone can be a game-changer for our kids, especially those who come from foster care and carry their own unique traumas. We're diving deep with Jenny Hornby, a licensed counselor and trauma expert, who's got some serious insights on how to help kids process their feelings in a safe way. We chat about EMDR therapy, which Jenny describes like taking a train ride through their experiences without reliving the trauma. So, whether you're a seasoned foster parent or just curious about the journey, tune in for stories and tips that'll resonate with anyone navigating the wild world of parenting! Join us as we embark on a heartfelt conversation about the power of presence in parenting, especially for those navigating the choppy waters of foster care and adoption. This episode features Jenny Hornby, a licensed counselor whose expertise in trauma therapy shines a light on the complexities of emotional healing for children. We kick things off with a discussion about EMDR therapy—an innovative approach that helps children process their trauma in a safe and structured way. Jenny explains how this technique allows kids to revisit painful memories without the overwhelming emotions that typically accompany them. By using relatable analogies, she makes the therapy sound not only effective but also approachable, inviting listeners to consider how vital it is for kids to know they aren't alone in their struggles. The conversation shifts to Jenny's own experiences as an adoptive parent, where she shares poignant moments from her journey that resonate deeply. From the emotional intricacies of meeting her child's birth mother to the joys and challenges of raising kids who have experienced trauma, Jenny's stories paint a vivid picture of love and resilience. She also discusses the importance of open lines of communication and how to gently guide children through their feelings about their pasts. This relatability adds a layer of warmth and authenticity to the episode, making it a must-listen for anyone involved in or considering adoption. As we wind down, Jenny offers practical advice for parents on how to handle their children's big emotions. She emphasizes the necessity of self-awareness for parents, reminding us that we need to check in with ourselves before we can effectively support our kids. The episode closes with a reminder that being present and allowing children to feel their emotions is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. With humor and heart, this episode serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that love, understanding, and patience can have on healing and growth for both parents and children.Takeaways:As parents, our greatest superpower is simply being there for our kids, no cap!When it comes to kids from foster care, trauma is almost a given, so we need to be prepared.EMDR therapy helps kids process trauma without reliving it, making it a game changer.Building trust with kids is crucial; it's about showing up and letting them lead the way.Using creative methods like art and storytelling can help children express their fears and emotions.Being present is key—sometimes, just hanging out with your kid in silence can do wonders.Links referenced in this episode:

In today's episode, I'm talking with licensed mental health therapist Victoria Mexcur about a new way to grit through. Trauma is often treated as a singular, heavy label, but it's much more nuanced. It's an experience that impacts the nervous system, creates mental loops, and can disconnect the mind and body in very individual ways.We dive into breaking stigma, repair, and why mental health is just as foundational as the land and animals we care so deeply for. This conversation is grounding, honest, and incredibly needed; I know it will meet you right where you are!In this episode, we cover:Victoria's path into therapy + why she chose trauma workWhat trauma actually is + why it looks different for everyoneA reframe of “gritting through” that works WITH the body (instead of overriding it)How somatic experiencing & EMDR support nervous system regulationKey lessons from animals + Peter Levine's workWhy traditional talk therapy isn't always the right fit for rural & ag folksHow flexible, accessible therapy better supports rural life during busy seasonsUsing grit + a “get-er-done” mindset to reach out for support instead of going it aloneSimple starting tools for nervous system regulationWhy mental health is foundational to sustaining families, operations & long-term well-being Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

You keep it together.Calm texts. Steady schedules. Polite handoffs.But every time his car pulls up, your body betrays you: heart races, chest tightens, breath goes shallow.That's not just “leftover divorce stuff.” That's anxiety living in your nervous system—and it's been quietly growing every time you swallow the unfairness to stay the “bigger person.”He's got the new life.You're carrying the kids' big feelings, the invisible load, the resentment no one thanks you for.And the more you perform “fine” for everyone else, the more your own healing slips through your fingers.Why does being the bigger person feel like slow self-betrayal?Why does the anxiety keep coming back even when you've done “all the work”?And what if the real shift isn't more boundaries or better scripts… but something deeper that finally lets your body and spirit exhale?In this episode, we go straight into:The hidden way “bigger person” energy keeps your nervous system bracedHow resentment and unfairness get stored somatically—and why that blocks real repairThe quiet spiritual wound his moving-on keeps pokingAnd the integrative path out that most people never talk aboutYou'll get the truth that lands in your chest… and the curiosity to find out what “instead” actually feels like in your body.If every handoff still leaves you raw, this is the episode that stops the performance and starts the real release.Send me a DM and tell us: What's the moment being the “bigger person” hurt the most?

⚠️Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of violence, self-harm, suicide, and religious trauma.In this deeply vulnerable and wide-ranging conversation, Kyson Dana shares his story of growing up Mormon, serving a mission in Russia, and the lifelong psychological, spiritual, and physical consequences that followed. What was supposed to be the “best two years” of his life became the most traumatic –shaping his identity, mental health, and eventual departure from the Church. Kyson opens up about generational trauma, internalized shame, self-policing, and suicidal ideation in his youth. He walks us through the intense pressure to be perfect, the weaponization of guilt and obedience, and how Mormonism taught him to disconnect from himself in order to survive. We dive deeply into the realities of missionary life in Russia: shrinking missions, violence, threats, abductions, murders, leadership silence, and explicit instructions NOT to tell families what was happening. Kyson recounts being told not to come home unless it was “in a coffin,” enduring extreme fasting, psychological abuse, and witnessing acts of violence that were never processed or acknowledged.Beyond the mission, Kyson shares how this trauma followed him into adulthood –fueling panic disorder, Complex PTSD, and a prolonged faith crisis. He discusses therapy, EMDR, creative work, and the careful, supported use of psychedelics as part of healing. We also explore his work helping teens navigate shame-based purity culture, pornography narratives (“Fight the new drug!”), and the dangerous conflation of morality with normal human behavior. This episode is about far more than Mormonism –it's about identity, belonging, survival, and what it takes to come back to yourself after an institution teaches you to turn yourself off. If you've ever felt broken by a system that promised salvation, you're not alone.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1. Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology2. Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who are experiencing a religious faith crisis3. Promote healing, growth and community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand religions

Some men are shaped by comfort. Others are forged in chaos. In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Siegel, founder of the Harder Than Life movement, to unpack what it actually takes to break generational cycles, rebuild trust with yourself, and lead your family with discipline and integrity—no matter where you came from.   Kelly shares his raw story of growing up in extreme abuse, addiction, and instability, and how sobriety, radical self-discipline, and daily non-negotiable routines completely transformed his life. We talk about nervous system healing, trusting yourself again, enforcing boundaries instead of talking about them, and what it looks like to be the father you never had. This conversation is intense, honest, and deeply hopeful for any man who refuses to let his past dictate his future.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why excuses keep men stuck and how discipline breaks the cycle [1:39] Introducing Kelly Siegel and the Harder Than Life movement [2:22] Growing up in extreme chaos, abuse, and addiction [2:50] Turning trauma into fuel instead of identity [5:21] Seven years of sobriety and the decision that changed everything [7:31] Handling judgment, criticism, and online hate without losing integrity [8:55] Keeping your word to yourself when no one is watching [10:10] Childhood abuse and how it dysregulates the nervous system [12:03] Why sobriety unlocked clarity, discipline, and purpose [14:48] Cutting off toxic family relationships to protect healing [18:52] Forgiveness as freedom—not reconciliation [19:48] EMDR, hypnotherapy, and deep therapeutic work [22:03] Kelly's exact daily routine and why structure creates safety [24:26] Learning to love yourself when you never experienced it growing up [26:04] Cooking breakfast daily and building connection with his daughter [27:53] Asking better questions to deepen parent-child connection [29:38] Trusting yourself as the foundation of confidence [33:04] Boundaries vs. standards—and the power of enforcement [35:36] Why hard challenges build unshakeable self-trust [40:33] Breaking generational cycles and raising a confident daughter [45:44] Finding the gifts inside even the most painful childhoods [50:31] Why you don't owe access to people who hurt you [54:03] Strong fathers as the solution to cultural chaos [57:29] Healing yourself to heal the world     Five Key Takeaways Discipline creates freedom, especially for men who grew up in chaos.  Trust is built by keeping promises to yourself, not by motivation or hype.  Boundaries only work when they're enforced, not just talked about.  Healing your nervous system changes how you lead, parent, and love.  You can break generational cycles, even if no one modeled it for you.      Links & Resources Kelly Siegel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelly.siegel.71/ Kelly Siegel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialkellysiegel Kelly Siegel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-siegel-0146a3/ Harder Than Life Podcast: https://www.harderthanlife.com/podcasts/ Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1437     Closing Remark   If this episode challenged you to stop making excuses and start keeping promises to yourself, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

What if forgetting your childhood, feeling disconnected from your emotions, or experiencing different "versions" of yourself weren't signs that something's wrong with you, but evidence of how brilliantly your brain protected you?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Janina Fisher, one of the leading experts on trauma and dissociation, to unpack what dissociation actually is and why it's a survival response, not a pathology. We talk about why so many people say "I had a good childhood" even when they can barely remember it, what's really happening when you lose time or feel like different parts take over, and how understanding your parts can change everything about how you heal.Dr. Fischer breaks down her Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) model and explains why chasing "safety" might be the wrong goal if you've never known what safety feels like. This conversation gets real about fight parts, attached parts, and why noticing what's happening inside you matters more than remembering every detail of what happened to you.If you've ever felt fragmented, disconnected, or like parts of you don't quite fit together, this episode will help you see yourself through a completely different lens.Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!

What if the pain you're fighting isn't coming from your body at all, but from patterns wired deep inside your brain? In this powerful conversation, I sit down once again with one of the most impactful thinkers I know, Dr. Daniel Amen, to unpack a truth that changed how I see stress, pain, trauma, and healing. This is his fourth time on the show, and there's a reason you keep asking for him. Dr. Amen has helped millions of people understand their brains better, including me, and his newest work hit me harder than any book he's written before. We go deep into the idea that pain is not just a signal from your body, but a story your brain is telling. Whether it shows up as back pain, anxiety, depression, or chronic stress, the root often lives in specific brain circuits that get hijacked by trauma, unresolved emotion, inflammation, and unhealthy habits. I open up about my own childhood, the stress patterns I still carry, and how those experiences changed my brain in ways I never fully understood until now. Dr. Amen breaks down the pain HQ loop and explains how emotional pain, physical pain, and even moral or spiritual pain can trap you in cycles of suffering that feel impossible to escape. We talk about adverse childhood experiences, why unresolved rage often turns into chronic pain, and how habits like poor sleep, diet, and suppressed emotions quietly flip genetic switches that impact not just you, but future generations. But this conversation is not just about understanding the problem. It is about getting out. We walk through the healing loop and the exact tools that calm the brain, raise heart rate variability, and restore control over your nervous system. From diaphragmatic breathing and progressive relaxation to journaling, EMDR, hyperbaric oxygen, and nutritional support, this episode is packed with practical ways to take your power back. If you have ever felt stuck in your body, your mind, or your emotions, this episode will change how you see yourself. The real question Dr. Amen leaves us with is simple and life-altering: Is what you're doing right now good for your brain or bad for it? Answer that honestly, and everything starts to shift. Key Takeaways: Why pain is often created and amplified by brain circuits, not just physical injury How childhood trauma and stress hijack the brain's pain and suffering pathways What the pain HQ loop is and how it keeps people stuck in chronic stress and pain Simple daily practices that calm your nervous system and improve brain health Why your habits today affect your children and grandchildren more than you think This is one of those episodes you'll want to listen to more than once and share with someone who's been carrying pain they cannot explain. Get ready to see healing in a completely new way. Max out. ⁠⁠⁠

The current political climate in the U.S. is heavy and many of us are feeling it in our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of safety - even if we can't always put words to it. In this episode, I sit down with a licensed therapist to talk honestly about collective trauma - what it is, how it's different from personal trauma, and why witnessing violence, political unrest, and constant crisis through the news and social media can be so deeply activating. We explore how trauma impacts both the mind and the body, including anxiety, stress responses, overwhelm, and feelings of hopelessness.We also talk about what happens when you're repeatedly exposed to triggering videos or headlines, how political violence affects our nervous systems, and why social anxiety can feel heightened right now. She shares tools and therapeutic approaches to support healing during this time.So if you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to keep going when it doesn't feel like things are getting better, this episode is a reminder that your response makes sense and that healing is possible - especially when we do it together.

Hi, love—welcome to Dear Divorce Diary, where midlife women move beyond talk therapy to process grief held in the body, release what's braced inside, and reclaim the confidence divorce tried to steal. I'm Dawn Wiggins, therapist, coach, integrative healer, and the woman who once lay awake thinking, “I should feel better than this… but my body never got the memo.”Toothpicks holding your eyelids open. Moving through molasses. Wired-tired even after more sleep, fewer spirals, all the supplements and rest hacks. The big scary thing is over, yet exhaustion lingers—rest lands on the surface but never reaches the cells. Why?Because negative beliefs quietly program your nervous system to stay on high alert, and your body stays braced, unable to downshift and truly receive at a cellular level.In today's episode, we name the two hidden drivers of post-divorce exhaustion that won't quit:The beliefs silently fueling chronic fatigue (even when life “should” feel lighter)The body patterns reinforcing the brace—and why gentle somatic-spiritual shifts are essential to let rest landReal stories of pausing to process dysregulation in real time (no performative bullshit, just remedies, tears, and grace)How receiving support—without apology—builds the capacity you've been cravingThis isn't about pushing harder. It's about softening protector parts, reprogramming at the belief and neural level, and inviting layered homeopathic harmony to amplify your body's natural recharge.If this stirred something deep in your chest, join premium for $5/month: exclusive tools, our February 23rd live workshop on receiving as the key to healing, and the full ritual that makes shifts cellular.Resources & Links:Free Nervous System Divorce Recovery Quiz → Discover your pattern in under 2 minutes.Join Cocoon (free community on Heartbeat) → Your sisters are holding space.Premium Subscription → Deeper integration + exclusives.Dawn Wiggins Therapy → High-ticket EMDR-homeopathy hybrid sessions.Drop a review if this resonated—it helps other midlife women find us when they're drowning in the same ache.

How can healthcare professionals transform burnout and trauma into a revitalized life and practice?In this special episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, Dr. Andrea Austin reads from her book Revitalized, focusing on the chapter "The Revitalization." She reflects on her own soul-level burnout at the end of the pandemic, sharing a formula for change: inflection point + inner work + clarity = revitalization. Drawing from personal experiences and expert insights, she emphasizes embracing the past's pain as part of growth, avoiding trauma loops, and intentionally "doing the work" for self-improvement.You'll hear how to:Recognize burnout as a chronic issue requiring inner reflection, not just quick fixes, and frame it as an opportunity for revitalization beyond "bouncing back."Differentiate top-down therapies (like CBT and talk therapy) from bottom-up approaches (like EMDR, somatic experiencing, and art therapy) for trauma healing, especially in high-stress fields like medicine.Understand coaching as a future-focused partnership for unlocking potential, while knowing when to seek therapy first, given high rates of PTSD (40%) and depression (30%) among healthcare workers.Navigate "VUCA" (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) in healthcare, including life quakes like job loss or health crises, and avoid maladaptive coping like overconsumption or addictions.Build vulnerability in hard conversations, reflect on perfectionism, and beware predatory coaching programs while prioritizing ethical, supportive resources.If you're a healthcare professional grappling with burnout, trauma, or the desire for more fulfillment, this episode offers empathetic guidance, reflective questions, and actionable steps to craft your own revitalization.

In this episode, Trisha and I answer three listener questions. We talk about the overlap between anxiety, ADHD traits, trauma, hormones, parenting, and overwhelm — and how to know when something is manageable and when it's time to seek further support. We also answer a question on nutrition and endurance training, and why nutrition can unravel when training volume increases. Finally, we talk about confidence and identity, and how working from home can slowly change how you feel about yourself and your social confidence.

Having Difficult Conversations With Aging Parents: How To Start And What To Say In this episode of the WealthStyle Podcast, Iván Watanabe and Evan Wohl are joined by psychotherapist Maria Graceffa to explore how families can approach difficult conversations with aging parents around estate planning, healthcare decisions, and end-of-life wishes. The discussion focuses less on financial details and more on communication, timing, and emotional awareness. Maria shares why topics that feel taboo are often the most important to address, and how understanding your audience matters just as much as having the right information. The conversation covers practical guidance on aligning with siblings before approaching parents, choosing the right messenger, and framing discussions as invitations rather than directives. Listeners will also learn what language to avoid, how silence can create space for trust, and what to do when conversations become emotional or go off track. This episode offers thoughtful, real-world insight for anyone navigating multi-generational planning conversations and wanting to protect family relationships while creating clarity for the future. Key takeaways: Why avoiding “taboo” topics like death, inheritance, and long-term care often creates more stress than clarity How aligning with siblings and choosing the right messenger matters more than having the most expertise How to frame conversations as invitations, not directives, using open-ended questions that preserve a parent's sense of control What language and timing to avoid, and how pauses and silence can reduce defensiveness and build trust Why these discussions work best as an ongoing dialogue rather than a one-time conversation And more!
