Andrew Mitchem Hi everybody. It’s Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach. Welcome along to another video and podcast. I’m really pleased today to be joined by Dr. Dave Bonanno over in the US. Dave, welcome along. Nice to have you here. Dr. Dave Bonanno Thanks. Yeah. Great to be here. Talking about mindset in trading. Andrew Mitchem Really looking forward to this because quite often in trading we talk about strategy and rules, talking about indicators and charts and things like that. But today we want to bring it back to something that applies to everybody. No matter what type of trading you are, whether your fundamental trade, a technical trade or a mix. And it’s really important that you start to understand, your mindset within trading. And that’s why, Dr. Dave here today is here. And how he’s going to help you and all of us listening and watching with the mental aspect of trading. So, Dr. Dave, maybe you can start about introducing yourself, what you do and how you help traders at that. Dr David Bonanno helps traders. Dr. Dave Bonanno Okay, great. Yeah. So I started off, as a therapist who is really trying to help people with problems, especially PTSD. And most people don’t really know what PTSD is like. If you look it up, there’s no definition. It’s just a list of symptoms. So the way that I define it now is that it’s when you have adrenaline and it just is overactive. And the thing to know is that when you have adrenaline, it makes your logical brain go offline. So I maintain that adrenaline is every trader’s enemy, and it doesn’t mean that you’re in full fight or flight, or that you’re afraid or that you’re angry. It can affect us in a lot of ways that we’re not even really aware of. And so if you like, read other mindset books or listen to other people who talk about the psychology of trading, they talk about changing your thoughts. But what I’m really all about is how to, engage with your subconscious in a way so that it doesn’t contaminate what you’re doing on a moment by moment basis. Andrew Mitchem Interesting. So you’re taking a slightly different approach to it. So on a like just to get it on the beginning, but to give her some right at the beginning on, on a, on a like a practical basis, someone’s out, they’re trying to identify a trade setup or they’re in a trade maybe. What do you do that could help them with those scenarios? Right. So I had this trader named Tony, and he was really successful in his career, and he wanted to gear up for retirement. And he he was a very logical guy and he could understand intellectually probabilities and all that. But when money was on the line, especially when he was trying to scale or even when he was trying to, take payouts from the prop firms, he would find himself just not quite making the right decisions. So of course, he looked at his strategy and and his, you know, technical skills. But I think what he didn’t realize at the time was sometimes adrenaline would get in the way. And and so that could be like if he was putting pressure on himself to provide a financial security for him and his family, or if he couldn’t really accept losses all that well, and I’m not even talking about like, yeah, I’m not talking about like throwing a tantrum or anything, but like, his wife would notice that he wasn’t in a very good mood after he had a red day. And so, yeah, we we needed to look at what was going on for him subconsciously. And, you know, we all could try to think like, well, you know, I’m pretty much in control of my emotions or I didn’t really notice, you know, what was happening for me in the moment. But we’re talking about subconscious stuff. And by definition that’s what we’re not aware of. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Dr. Dave Bonanno So yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, one of the things I do first is I help people to identify, what exactly is going on for them. And it doesn’t mean, you know, that we have to go back to the past and blame your parents for everything. Like I was taught to do as a therapist. But we use, eye movements, which is, like EMDR if if people don’t know what that is, it’s the most researched, intervention for PTSD that there ever was. And I’m sure you probably even know people who’ve done it. So anyway, that kind of allows us to interface with your emotional brain. So, like, we have two brain systems that are at play at the same time. It’s kind of like two TV shows that are superimposed on each other, and you can’t just ignore one of them and sometimes I yeah. So sometimes our head and our heart is in sync. But a lot of times it isn’t. At least as much as we’d like to think that it is. So yeah, if we can actually like kind of interface with that part of our brain, that’s the part that makes our logical brain go offline. So we still do need that emotional part. Like it’s sort of like, like, you know, when you’re dreaming, then you wake up and your logical brain think so that was crazy. But that’s really because the logical brain was out of the way. And it’s it’s coming on, you know, with your, emotions. So what I’m getting at is, that when you’re able to move your eyes, that’s what allows you to connect with your heart. It’s great for journaling because instead of trying to go back and guess at what you were doing subconsciously, it really kind of helps you to get there. And that’s what we did for Tony. Andrew Mitchem Interesting. And so his results work improved dramatically after some time. Dr. Dave Bonanno Oh, absolutely. Yeah. He’s he’s doing awesome now. He just, showed me a picture of a house he wants to buy in Florida, and, he, he needed to help his parents out. And he, he was putting a lot of pressure on himself that he wasn’t really quite aware of. And that’s going to add adrenaline and, you know, like. Yeah. So like if he if you look at advice from other trading coaches or mindset coaches, they’re like, okay, well you have to control your emotions and you have to use your willpower in order to kind of, push them aside and focus on what you need to. Yeah. And that that can work sometimes, but it doesn’t work all the time. And if you’re telling somebody who’s full of adrenaline that they need to calm down, that’s kind of like telling somebody who’s full of alcohol that they need to be sober. Like it just. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s yeah, yeah, I know I’ve tried. But, Yeah. So I think instead of trying to use your willpower and then blaming yourself when you, when it doesn’t really work, and then people start to go into a cycle. Right. Like they start to doubt themselves and they start to think, well, maybe I’m a weak person or whatever. And really, I think they’re just kind of setting themselves up for failure by expanding, their body and their mind to react in ways that it’s not set up for it. Because once again, like when you’re in fight or flight, you’re but your brain is designed to go offline, like, you know, if you’re if you’re in the forest and you see a bear or something, you’re not supposed to be going through all the, pros and cons of the opposite, like you need to be running away or fighting. It would. Yeah. That’s right. Yeah. So that’s just how we’re built. So. So when we’re training and there’s like, you know, people can follow their rules, fine. If there’s not too much pressure. But when you’re scaling up or when you’re trying to, make this one being trained, you know, that’s going to really help you out. Or if you’re trying to get like a good feeling, like if you’re if you’re a little bit maybe addicted to training, you’re doing it to feel good, then it’s going to backfire. And then the harder you try, the more you’re feeding energy into that negative cycle. Traders issues with over trading and thinking money! Andrew Mitchem Yeah, that’s really interesting. I get a lot of people over the years that come to me and they have this exact issue, and a lot of people, unfortunately, when they get into trading, they they have this mindset. And like I did exactly the same over 20 years ago, you get into it, it’s new, it’s exciting. You think you’re going to make lots of money. Then you start looking at charts and lines and dots and arrows and indicators and you think, wow, this is awesome. I’m good. Look at this. Crosses this. I’m going to buy here, make a fortune. And then you soon realize it doesn’t work. And you then or the other issue I noticed that a lot of people have is they overtrain so much, you know, they want to go down to the very short timeframe charts because they believe the more they trade, their more they’re going to make. And they’re and you used the word just now about being addicted, whether it was alcohol or addicted to things. And I find that so many people have that, that they’re trigger happy. You know, they go to click, click, click, click, click trace and and of course, inevitably it will end up, losing for them. And then their whole mindset starts, that whole self-doubt and, and all they get to that stage where they’ll go. I’ve had so many losing track. This one’s band win and they do something stupid on it all. They they see the best set up that they’ve had all day, and they don’t take it because they’re scared, because they’ve lost so many other traits. There’s all these mix of emotions going on and it results in not being a good trader. Dr. Dave Bonanno Yeah, that’s that’s great. That’s that’s totally what I come across as well. And you know, like when I made the transition to working with traders, it was great because it’s it’s there’s just so much psychology there. Yeah. And and yeah like I think sometimes you know people don’t really want to admit that because they don’t want to be thinking of themselves as like, you know, crazy or whatever. But if you’re like, for example, an athlete who wants to be in the very top of your game, of course you have to work on the physical, but you have to work on the mental as well. That’s right. And so, yeah, if you want to be a trader who’s in the top 5%, who makes money, there’s just no way around it. I mean, nobody’s so good technically that they’re going to be able to cover their emotional mistakes, right? I mean, it’s just like you can’t. So. Yeah. I think, you know, one thing that’s really interesting to me is how the research shows that happy people in general have a less accurate picture of the world than people who are depressed. And the reason I bring that up is because I think we all like to believe that we know what we’re doing and when when somebody is in a situation like you’re talking about, when they get trigger happy, their logical brain is compromised and it’s making it’s making rationales for why they should do it again. Right. Like, oh, well, this it’s it’s got to work out this time. Or like, you know, the gambler’s fallacy or you know, like, like maybe I this time I’m thinking about it correctly or not, or, you know, all the types of things that people tell themselves. And it’s, you know, I think one thing that really happens is when you feel bad about something and, you know, like, it can happen to all of us. Like you could make the perfect decision, but the market just doesn’t go your way. You’ll never know exactly why that was, but because we want to feel in charge, we take on that responsibility and think, well, I did something wrong. And then you can either show restraint and hold back or I think, like most of us, maybe even us men, we want to do something. We want to fix it. Right? So like, it feels so much more powerful to actually be active than to use restraint and just wait for your perfect setup. So I mean, I see this all the time, and yeah, it can be such a slippery slope that when you, if you get, angry or frustrated or anxious or afraid, you’re adding adrenaline to the whole equation, which is going to make you do worse, which is going to just increase your adrenaline as well. And this doesn’t have to happen in just the course of one session. Like I recently talked to a guy who lost $700,000 over the course of three months, and he he just wasn’t fully aware of what was going on for him subconsciously. Yeah. So it’s just that it’s a really hard thing to do. I mean, you know, you could go to therapy and talk about your subconscious all day, but you’re still doing that consciously and it doesn’t really work. But, what I do is I try to be really quick and effective and use these eye movements, and then we just clear things up right away. So like, that’s kind of what happened with Tony as well. So. So I would imagine, Andrew, that you must get frustrated. I would think sometimes when you’re giving people solid advice that they should follow, they know they should follow it, and then they come back to you and they’re like, I just I just didn’t I just couldn’t, right? Like, what do people even say? Don't reinvent the wheel. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, yeah. No, you’re absolutely right. It it is frustrating because people seem to always want to reinvent the wheel. And it’s like you don’t need to. That’s why you joined us. We have the way it works, I can promise you. Yeah. And it comes along from, I think social media right now is a is a big negative for everything that we have to almost put up with us as people who like to help or coaches. Because they’re out there seeing the flash, Lamborghinis and Ferraris and all the rest of it, and they think that’s how it has to be. I actually say to people, the the honest truth is good trading is boring. And I mean that in a really good and honest way, and that you need to be doing the same thing on a daily basis. And as we’re finding out from our chat, you know, to remove the emotions as much as possible, stick to the principle of what you’re saying. One thing that I am massive on from a practical trading point of view. Well, two things. One, we keep our risk very low and controlled on every single trade. I think that helps massively. You don’t get those huge fluctuations of emotions of those those big wins or those big losses. So I hope, right. It doesn’t matter what the market we’re trading, whether it’s a forex or non forex or it doesn’t matter the time frame or directional stop loss. Every trade has the same low and equal risk. So on the next. Dr. Dave Bonanno I’m sorry I don’t I won’t put words in your mouth. But do you find that people agree with you 100% on that intellectually? And then when they just they’re like, oh, but this, this one looks so good. And then they risk more than they should. Andrew Mitchem And no, they don’t agree. That’s the problem. To start with. They think a lot of people don’t that it becomes, well, some do and some don’t. The ones that don’t, go off and do their own, you know, risk or no risk or stupid risk. And then almost everyone will then come back and go, oh, I realized that what you told me, like, you know, three months ago or six months ago, I should have done. And that’s there almost need to find that that moment for themselves and figure it out for themselves, just like I told you. But I can’t say I told you so, because that doesn’t help right now. But, you know, you can feed all this information to people, and, and some people will still go off and break those rules and do their thing, but the good ones are. Geez, circle back and come back and go, like I, I went off and found some other course and some other strategy. I realized that was rubbish. I realized what I got from you a year ago is really good. And now I’m back doing it and I want to start again. That happens quite a bit. The other thing that I think that helps with the way that we trade is not only is our risk allowing control portray, but our reward is high on our trades. So our profitable trade so that we we kind of step, we have little losses, bigger step, little losses, bigger step. And we we, you know everybody shows this perfect equity. We don’t have that. We have a little low controlled losses. Big two, three four times the risk on a profitable trade. You don't need a 90% win rate. And the slight issue that some people have with that is that some people want to see that 90% win rate. Andrew Mitchem A lot of people often get caught up with the win rate. And I give them the classic example of a true example. Many years ago, someone had a like a they showed me like a 90% winning system that they had, but they were still losing money because they did not have the the money management. Correct. Right. You know, as a very basic example, let’s say they were let’s say making ten pips on a trade and they made nine trades profitable with ten pips each. So they made 90. But that one losing trade lost 100 pips. So you know, a very basic example. But they they were basically the guy asking a 90% win. Right. Aren’t I good. But I’m losing money. Dr. Dave Bonanno Right. Yeah. And I bet that was kind of attractive to them because you get that positive reinforcement. I mean, like if you’re. Yeah, if you’re winning nine times out of ten, it feels great. And then of. Andrew Mitchem Course you I’m not losing that one damn trader. I’ve lost money. So there’s all these different like, approaches that people have. And that’s I suppose, the exciting thing, from trading, isn’t it, that there’s no one approach that fits everybody. Dr. Dave Bonanno Right. And, you know, I mean, like to, to talk about, what you experience with your clients sometimes when they come back to you and they say, oh, I finally learned my lesson, you know, like, I mean, I have kids and try to tell what to do in the course. They don’t want to hear it. And then I have to just really. Yeah. Just want to make mistakes and hopefully they’ll they’ll make enough mistakes while they’re young and and the, the stakes are still low before they go out to the world. Yeah. Then do stupid shit. Andrew Mitchem That’s right. Yeah. And I suspect that you and me exactly the same. When we were kids. Dr. Dave Bonanno Yeah. Well, actually. Yeah. Geez. Yeah, yeah, I knew everything when I was kid. Yeah. Andrew Mitchem No, it’s interesting that the how, the how the cycle keeps pace going. What question I wanted to ask you, and this is something I’m personally starting to just change my opinion on, is that I always used to say to people, start on a demo account, make the mistakes on the demo account of the platform and the lot sizes, etc. then go to a smaller live account and go bigger when you’re profitable. I’m almost starting to say to people now, don’t spend so much time on demo. Sure, use the demo to understand how a new trading platform, the software works. But I’m finding now that people that go on to a small live account are feeling those emotions like more realistic that you can never get on a demo, how would you kind of approach that? Dr. Dave Bonanno Yeah, it’s not interesting. You could try as hard as you can to recreate a situation like that for yourself, and it’s just not the same. It’s it’s really like professional athletes, you know, they practice, but you you can only practice so much until the game is on the line. And, you know, I think one thing that really happens is that we get into a flow state. So when things are the way they’re supposed to be, it’s kind of like you’re really focused on the charts, you’re really focused on what you’re doing. And then it’s like, oh my God, it’s the session’s almost over. You need to be using your intuition. But if and if you’re overthinking too much, you know, that’s certainly not going to work. But if you’re if you’re also like distracted by your emotions or by, you know, thinking about, oh, what is this going to mean if like if, if, if you win this trade, you know, like I don’t know how much of a sports fan you are, but I can’t stand, sports interviews because they’ll be like, you know, what were you thinking at this point when it happened? And the guys like, I don’t know, I’ll just see the ball hit the ball. I mean, you know, like, that’s really all there is. Yeah. Andrew Mitchem Now that’s. Dr. Dave Bonanno So. Yeah. And. Yeah. And then you know what? I like how you said that trading should kind of be boring. And, you know there’s there’s intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation. So extrinsic motivation is you’re doing something for the reward. And of course you know that’s part of it. Intrinsic motivation is just because you like it. So like if it yeah like if, if you just like trading then that’s great. And if you’re if you’re caught up in the extrinsic, it’s actually not only going to add to your adrenaline, but it replaces the intrinsic motivation. So if I could just give you a quick, quick example, like they had children read over the summer, they tracked how much they did. Then the next summer they paid them to read. So of course you’d think they’d read so much more. But what happened was it became a job for them and that that just took all the fun out of it. So yeah, if you’re too focused on why and why you’re doing this other than just because I like it, I get into a flow state, then I think that’s just, you know, going to mess you up eventually. You have to love the concept of trading. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. That’s interesting because, yeah. No, that’s a great point. I say to people like because of the time zone that I live in here in New Zealand, that the, the forex market opens on a Monday morning for me. It’s your Sunday afternoon in the US and I say to people, I love Monday mornings, you know because most people will have that alarm going. I say It’s Monday. I’ve got this right. Yeah, I’d love it because, you know, up until cryptos came around, we could not trade at the weekends. You know, you just. The forex market shuts at New York 5 p.m. on a Friday and open on the Sunday at 5 p.m.. And, yes, I just say to people I love Mondays. I absolutely can’t wait for Monday morning to come and start trading it. And you’re exactly right. Because unfortunately, again, and it kind of comes back to that social media issue again, is that so many people who are not trading, they discover trading and they see it as their kind of like their ticket out of their life’s financial problems. And and I get that conversation on a phone or an email, you know, with people, non clients, you know, far too often. And, and I say to them look it’s not your, your golden ticket out of financial problems. It’s not going to replace your job like in a six months. Don’t think of it like that. You have to want to have that enjoyment of looking at the charts or reading the news, whichever type of trader you are, and actually doing it. And like challenging yourself, to do well and to figure out what’s happening in the world and all these different facts, you’ve got to actually really get excited by that. If you like that, then you will keep doing it and you’ll be disciplined, and then the money will follow. But don’t just jump straight into it. Expecting to become a multi-millionaire with the thousand dollar account, right? Dr. Dave Bonanno Yeah. I mean, because the fear, like I think people are as happy as their expectations are in relationships or in activities that they’re doing. And yeah, if you’re expecting too much, it’s going to take away so much of your energy and motivation and and to talk to what you had said, like if you just if you like training, then it’s going to that’s what’s going to center you. Right. Because you can’t be up and down with with your emotions and how you feel. And you really have to get into like just the the nuts and bolts of this is the setup and this is my thought process or, you know, the, my intuition and, that’s that’s something I had to learn as a therapist. Like I don’t or as a coach, really, I don’t coach so that I could make people money. I coach because when I get a new client, I’m curious, like, oh, right, what what set of it have problems or issues are coming in to my door and what can we do about it? I don’t wake up like, oh, I’m going to save this person. It’s just more like and then, you know, if the outcome doesn’t go my way, I don’t have to get too upset about it. I mean, of course I care, but yeah, if you’re if you’re a trader and you could ground yourself and remind yourself why you’re doing this and and then also, I think this is a really fine point that people sometimes don’t understand. If you’re trading to feel good, then that’s going to mess you up to like you need to trade because you like it on a deep level and you want to make money. You don’t do it because you know, your wife left you and your dog died, and I just want to get a hit of dopamine. Like, that’s not going to work out, right? Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Right. And another thing, I think it’d be really interesting to hear your thoughts on is one thing I pride ourselves on is not only do we just have one strategy, but we have a massive community and we’re all trading that one strategy. When I started out, it was in, I’m talking 20 plus years ago now. It was in the early days of a couple of trading forums, and you used to go on to these forums because, you know, trading is a lonely business, you know, otherwise, you know, no one understands what you’re doing. Even today and back then don’t forget, that was the dial up internet days. And and the. Yeah, right. Traditional forum sites don't work. Andrew Mitchem I quite often have to get a connection. Yeah. But, you know, I used to go on to a four on the forum sites and then you’d find a thread, someone created this strategy, and then every time someone would come in and go, I think it should add this indicator, and, and it just blew out into a complete argument and mess. And I realized that when I started the coaching, I didn’t want that situation happening because it frustrated me when I was learning. So one of the things I’m really proud of is our community that we have on our forum site and webinars that we hold everybody, no matter what stage of the like, the journey they’re on. They’re all out there trading the one system, but they’re all out there helping each other. And I find that having that back up, to follow someone, to watch someone to ask someone is such an underestimated part of a trade, a success. Dr. Dave Bonanno Yeah, that’s great. And you’re right, it is such a lonely job. I mean, you’re looking at screens and. Yeah. How is your how’s your spouse supposed to understand really what you’re going through? And of course, they’ll probably get sick of you talking about it too. But, Yeah. Isn’t that such a great feeling is to be able to help each other? And I trust that your people are good at sharing their losses. Right? Because I think, you know, whatever you focus on, you magnify. And if you want clicks, like if you’re an influencer, you want clicks, you’re going to be selling the dream. And it’s really like, I’m sorry to be crude, but it’s kind of like you can go on social media and you just see these people masturbating and and you think like, well, why can’t I do that? And they seem relatable. They’re real people. It’s not like they’re on TV and they’re celebrities. Like it’s real people. And then they only say, you can do what I did if you buy my stuff. But, I hope that in your community, in your forums, like, people are real with each other, right? Be real with your trading. Andrew Mitchem Absolutely. There’s everything on that. And we, you know, just before we started, I just posted two winning trades on the losing trades that happened overnight. And we post all of our trades profitable and not because you can still learn from those. We’re not out there looking like, look at me. All these beautiful profitable trades, all post trades that lose. And you know all we’re going back to is that same thing is that our losses were controlled. But the the setup that we took at the time looked very good. Otherwise we wouldn’t have taken it. And the market, something happened. It didn’t go in our favor. Okay. That’s a shame. We don’t like that. But it’s the way it is. But our loss is controlled and, you know. But then the profitable trades that we have made up for that loss plus more. And so I’m a firm believer and we show everything. And that’s the beauty of posting trades like on a daily basis for people right around the world to look at and follow. And also it teaches them the, the I suppose the discipline of these people who have done this for years and years still have losing trades. And that’s fine to have providing we, you know, you look back and and get you full. You shouldn’t have taken that because of A, B and C, and that’s a lesson. But you know, hopefully we don’t do that very often. But the market sometimes will do what the market wants to do. You can have an A grade setup and it doesn’t work. But and that’s part of the lesson the discipline, the journey. Dr. Dave Bonanno Right. And and it’s really hard I think for a lot of people to be comfortable with not knowing something. So yeah, if if the outcome isn’t what you wanted, it could have been one of a million things. And you can never really. Right. So I mean, of course you’re going to gauge, your outcomes and you’re going to journal and what went right and what went wrong. But it’s every single time you’re really just inferring the probability of what happened. And you don’t have that real solid ground to, to feel comfortable on. Right. Like you’re just always kind of guessing to some degree. And you have to be okay with that. And I think it is really, really helpful to have other people remind you of that because, yeah, we could tell ourselves all day, oh, I’m going to have losses. And you know, I’m not perfect person or whatever, but if you actually have somebody else remind you of that, like, dude, you’re you’re still damn good. You’re still like, you know, the shot good person. Then I think that’s yeah, crucial. It is you. So that’s really cool. Contacting Dr Dave. Andrew Mitchem Absolutely. So, Dr. Dave. How can someone find you? And what are they going to like? What situation scenario are they going to be in to say, I need this, guys, help? Dr. Dave Bonanno Yeah. Great. So I don’t want to sound like anybody has mindset problems, but I do want to underscore how there’s just a lot of things going on that once again, we’re not fully aware of. And it doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with you. Anything. So yeah, I’ve worked with a whole bunch of people and some of them had issues in their regular life, and some were really dead end. As a matter of fact, that’s one thing I like about working with traders as opposed to PTSD, because they say if they say, you know, you are who you associate with. I was like, oh my God, I’ve been associating with the most damaged people in society for decades. But so yeah, I love working with traders. You can you can look me up at WB ww dot max discipline.com or we’ll have links. I just published a book on Amazon called The Consistently Calm Trader. And people have been having really good feedback for you there. And, if you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to just give one more tip to your audience, which is the best way to handle losses is not to get upset or try harder, or even to try to ignore how you feel about it. If you can actually be sad. And I know nobody wants to feel sad, but if the market doesn’t go your way today and you can just actually literally feel that like sad about it for even like ten minutes, then you’re you’re not adding any type of adrenaline to the equation and you’re accepting reality as opposed to, well, it shouldn’t happen this way or I should have done this. That’s not reality. If you’re talking about what should have happened and then because you can accept reality, you can move on and, and really come to a, later with a clean slate. Does that make sense? Andrew Mitchem Yeah. It’s a really interesting approach. I like that very simple, but easy to do. Dr. Dave Bonanno Yeah. You got to be sad. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, well, that’s good because not people don’t tell you those type of things go right. Dr. Dave Bonanno Yeah, yeah. Andrew Mitchem Hey what I want to hear I yeah, it’s good. That’s a really good approach. I like it because you have to be able to like, you know, the whole phrase of get back on the horse tomorrow, you know, and and if you’re still angry because of yesterday’s losses or the market didn’t do what I thought it should do, and you’re still, like, venting over that? How on earth can you expect to approach the next trade or the next day with any clarity? Dr. Dave Bonanno Yeah. And you can’t just tell yourself, oh, well, I’ll forget it and I’ll be fine. No, it’s just that’s not the way to go. Like you have to address these things. And so, you know, I don’t know how it is in New Zealand, but here in the States, like, I can’t stand how everybody’s trying to live their best life all the time. And, you know, if you ask somebody how they doing and if they if they don’t say awesome, then you’re like, oh my God. Well what’s wrong? Like what’s wrong with you? You know, like, I mean, I of course, you know, I like about us here in the States that we, we strive we, we have really high expectations. But I think it can really backfire for a lot of people. And then, yeah, if you’re on social media and you’re seeing all these people with their lambos and their, you know, their houses and stuff, I mean, it’s just going to get you down. So, yeah, if you could be sad, you could accept where you are. What has happened, and then you can get right back on the horse and, go where you need to go. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. That’s awesome. Hey, thank you so much today, dogs. I love chatting to you. And I think there’s just been massively beneficial. As you mentioned, we’ll put links to your site on here as well. So anybody can click on that and find out more about what you do. And yeah, thank you for your time. It’s been thoroughly enjoyable and I think it’s been massively helpful for everybody.

This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, makers of luxuriously soft bamboo sheets, blankets, and sleep essentials. Because your rest matters, mamas. Cozy Earth makes it easier to get the cozy, breathable sleep your body (and your little one) deserve. Use code HEHE at https://cozyearth.com/ for 20% off your order and treat yourself to the sleep you've been dreaming of. In this episode, HeHe sits down with Dr. Kristin Lasseter to unpack perinatal mental health with a focus on postpartum anxiety (PPA) versus postpartum depression (PPD), how they differ, and when “baby blues” may signal something more. While mood shifts are common in the early postpartum days, symptoms that persist beyond a couple of weeks, disrupt sleep, bring constant anxiety or sadness, intrusive thoughts, or thoughts of death deserve real support. They talk candidly about the guilt, shame, and fear of judgment that keep many women silent, and why telling one safe person can be a powerful first step. The conversation explores common risk factors like fertility struggles, pregnancy or birth complications, and PMDD, along with the significant hormonal shift that happens after the placenta is delivered and why the brain can feel especially vulnerable during that window. HeHe and Dr. Lasseter also navigate the often-stigmatized topic of psychiatric medication during pregnancy and postpartum. They discuss why abruptly stopping medication is usually unsafe, how to thoughtfully weigh medication risks against the risks of untreated mental illness, what research tells us about breastfeeding compatibility, and what to expect when starting or adjusting treatment. They touch on newer, faster-acting postpartum depression options, therapy modalities like CBT and EMDR, and additional treatments such as TMS and ECT. The episode closes with an honest conversation about bounce-back culture, social media pressure, and choosing support systems that protect a mother's mental health. Throughout, the message is clear: evidence-based care matters, suffering in silence isn't a badge of honor, and there is no shame in using medication when it's needed. 0:00 - Introduction: Mental Health Medications in Pregnancy & Postpartum 4:36 - Postpartum Anxiety vs Postpartum Depression: Key Differences 6:01 - Normal Baby Blues vs Red Flags: When to Seek Help 9:51 - Intrusive Thoughts & Breaking the Stigma 17:26 - Medication Safety in Pregnancy: What You Need to Know 24:43 - Should You Stop Your Meds When Pregnant? 30:03 - Hormones & Mental Health: The Postpartum Crash 43:56 - Breastfeeding While on Psychiatric Medications 51:26 - How Long Should You Stay on Medication? 60:50 - Fighting the "Bounce Back" Culture & Social Media's Impact Guest Bio: Kristin Yeung Lasseter, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist in Texas who specializes in Reproductive Psychiatry and Women's Mental Health.

What does grief look like when you lose your wife, two daughters, your home, and nearly everything you own - all in a single night? In this episode we talk with Michael Reed, a husband, father, and author whose life was forever changed when a wildfire swept through his community, taking the lives of his wife Constance, his older daughter Chloe, his youngest, Lily, their pets, and reducing their home to ashes. Nearly a decade later, Michael shares about the darkness he fell into, who was there to hold him and his son up, the ways he stays connected to his wife and daughters, and how he's re-engaged with life through writing and helping others. Michael Reed is the author of The Million Stages of Grief, a self-published book born from years of middle-of-the-night writing as he tried to make sense of catastrophic loss. He also became an unexpected public face of his community's tragedy - a role he has since transformed into a mission of talking openly about grief, faith, and learning to live again. In this episode: Michael shares vivid memories of his daughters: Chloe's extraordinary compassion and Lily's unforgettable sass and spirit. What it's like to lose not only the people you love but every physical trace of them - and how Michael keeps their memory close without tangible reminders. How his son Nicholas became a teacher for Michael in how to grieve. His experience with EMDR therapy and what acceptance means to him. The origin of The Million Stages of Grief: how raw, unedited Facebook posts led to a blog, then to a self-published book. Why the five stages of grief didn't work for Michael - and how he came to understand that grief can move through a million stages in a single day. A raw, honest account of his anger at God after the fire. What it was like to become the unwilling public spokesperson for a community's tragedy, and how he has reclaimed that platform on his own terms. His core message: loss is loss, no matter who or what you've lost — and using your own hurt to help others is how we change the world.

Do you feel overly responsible for other people's actions, feelings, thoughts, and emotions? If you find yourself sacrificing what is good for you to keep other people's reactions at bay or neglect your own needs, wants, and self to try to keep the peace, you may be engaging in a trauma response called self-abandonment. This leads to burn out, stress, and guilt whenever you stop the protective but self-dismissing behavior. If you'd like help with this, listen in!

Divorce doesn't create just one version of you.It creates many.One moment you're grieving.The next you're furious.Then suddenly you're nostalgic for a relationship that hurt you.Then you're trying to pull yourself together and be the strong one.Many women think this means something is wrong with them.It doesn't.It means your nervous system is trying to process a profound emotional rupture.Because inside divorce, there are often multiple emotional states competing for the steering wheel. It can feel like several different versions of you are living inside the same body — each holding a different piece of the grief, the anger, the longing, or the shock.In this premium episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn explores the 10 emotional archetypes that commonly emerge during divorce — the inner “women” many divorced women cycle through as their nervous system processes loss, betrayal, identity change, and healing.As you listen, you may recognize one immediately.Or you may realize you've been moving between several of them.This episode also shares the deeper story behind the Destined Divorce Recovery Blend — a remedy formula created specifically for the layered emotional states women often experience during divorce recovery.Because divorce doesn't just break a relationship.It often activates every unresolved emotional layer in the body at once.Understanding those layers is where healing begins.And chances are… while listening to this episode, you'll recognize one of these women inside yourself.Maybe even more than one.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! ✨

Send a textNervous System episode with Lauren Starnes:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1027246/episodes/18786923Healing starts when we stop guessing and start listening to the body. We kick off a focused season by defining trauma in plain language, mapping the window of tolerance, and showing how the nervous system becomes both the alarm and the doorway back to calm. I share why misusing the word “trauma” muddies real suffering, how symptoms show up in bodies first, and what changes when we treat headaches, insomnia, gut pain, and tension as data instead of defects.From there, we unpack PTSD without blame. You'll hear how clinicians assess reliving, avoidance, mood shifts, and hyperarousal; why timing separates acute stress from PTSD; and how a clear name can reduce shame and open access to care. We also preview a body-led approach with co-host Lauren Starnes, the “trauma translator,” whose work centers on nervous system regulation so the mind can safely process what happened. Regulation before revelation becomes our guiding practice.Two listener questions bring this to ground. First, how to protect children from your own trauma: do the work, model repair, and let your regulation lead. Second, what to do after a harmful EMDR experience: safety is treatment, trust the rupture, and consider proven options like CPT, CBT, IFS, narrative therapy, and somatic skills. Throughout, we emphasize practical tools—grounding, paced breathing, orienting, and gentle movement—to discharge survival energy and widen your capacity.We close with news close to my heart: the launch of Victory Trauma Consulting, offering accessible one-on-one support, education for churches and workplaces, and pricing that meets people where they are. If you're ready to understand triggers and flashbacks, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim a life that feels abundant and free, join us. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so others can find these tools. Your body is speaking. Let's learn its language together.You ARE:SEEN KNOWN HEARD LOVED VALUED
What if the thing that actually prevented burnout wasn't seeing fewer clients, but completely reimagining how you work? In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Charity O'Reilly to talk about how she built her practice around intensive therapy retreats and why that model changed everything for her.Charity shares how she went from running a high-stress nonprofit department to hosting five-day trauma intensives in a beautiful cottage in Pennsylvania, where clients fly in from all over the world. We talk about what intensive therapy retreats really look like, how she structures them every other week to protect her energy, how this model supports deep trauma work, and how it's given her the freedom to take an extended sabbatical. If you've ever felt like the traditional weekly model isn't sustainable, this conversation will stretch your thinking in the best way.In This Episode, We Explore…How Charity built her intensive therapy retreats model after 17 years in nonprofit work.What her five-day IFS-informed EMDR trauma intensives actually look like.Why she shifted from weekly intensives to every other week.How intensive work allows her to take an extended sabbatical.What therapists need to understand about licensure when clients travel to you.Connect with Charity:Website: https://charityoreilly.com/Online training: https://www.teawithatraumatherapist.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teawithatraumatherapist/_____________________Are you ready to take the plunge and become a Traveling Therapist?

If you've done the work, learned the tools, and still feel like you're white knuckling through every single day, this episode is for you.For many people with complex PTSD and developmental trauma, calm isn't somewhere familiar to return to. It's something that has to be built, maybe for the first time. And that changes everything about how healing needs to look.This episode breaks down three concepts from developmental trauma research that explain why nervous system regulation can feel so darn hard, and why that has nothing to do with how hard you're trying.Foundational dysregulation. Blended autonomic states. Defensive accommodations.These are the missing pieces that explain why you can feel wired and exhausted at the same time, why your coping strategies became your personality, and why the standard regulation tools keep hitting a wall.This episode draws on the work of Peter Levine and clinical literature on the side effects of developmental trauma.You are absolutely not broken. There is a real reason you feel the way you do.Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast! Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

When someone dies, there's a script.When you get divorced, there isn't.No ritual.No defined role.No socially approved space to grieve someone who is still alive.In this episode, we unpack why divorce grief is neurologically and socially different from death — and why so many women feel stuck for years without understanding why.We talk about:The three ways divorce grief disrupts the nervous systemWhy “stages of grief” don't fully apply hereThe self-esteem hit that makes you ask, “Why wasn't I enough?”Why many support groups validate you… but don't actually help you healAnd we introduce something deeper — what we mean when we say divorce grief is quantum.Not mystical. Not abstract.Layered. Overlapping. Entangled.Your past self, your present body, and your future identity are all grieving at once. Your nervous system is still wired to seek comfort from the person you're trying to let go of.Divorce grief doesn't move in stages.It moves in waves.There may be no meal train for this kind of loss.But you don't have to grieve it alone.If this episode resonated, your next step is simple: don't stay isolated in it.Join us inside the Cocoon community in the Heartbeat app, come to a Cocoon Connect, or take one deeper step into your healing.Because this kind of grief doesn't resolve with time...It resolves with support.We'll meet you there.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! ✨

In today's episode, Trisha and I are answering two questions that I know so many of you will quietly relate to. If you've ever felt stuck in that horrible loop of not seeing progress… getting tired… reaching for coffee or chocolate… and then slowly falling off track — this one is for you. We talk about what's actually happening in those moments. Why it feels so hard to stay steady when results are slow. And how to rebuild momentum without turning on yourself or throwing everything out the window. Then we move into the teenage years. If you're working full-time, juggling drop-offs and pick-ups, watching the money fly out every month, and wondering how to stay present in it all — we talk about that too. How to catch yourself when you're reacting. How to steady the tone at home. And how to bring more calm and connection into your parenting, even when life feels relentless. As always, Trisha McHale brings her grounded, compassionate psychotherapist lens — helping unpack what's happening beneath the behaviours, and how to shift from reacting to responding. If you've ever felt stuck in a loop, stretched too thin, or unsure how to move into the next phase of life with intention — this episode is for you. Click play and let's dive in.

In this special episode of Empowered Through Compassion, I am joined by my wife and partner in life and work, Heather Polidi, LICSW. After graduating from Boston University's School of Social Work in different years, we both began our careers at Wayside Youth and Family in different departments. Heather served as Program Director of the Children's Behavioral Health Initiative and CSA program, while I worked as an In-Home Therapist within CBHI. Today, we are co-owners of Empowered Through Compassion, a practice specializing in trauma healing and IFS-informed EMDR work. This episode marks the beginning of something new. We are launching a free monthly Livestream series, held on the second Tuesday of each month from 12:00 to 1:00 PM EST. Our first session is March 10. This kickoff will introduce the series and our recently released book, IFS-Informed EMDR: Creative and Collaborative Approaches. Our hope is to create a thoughtful and compassionate space for meaningful conversation. In the months ahead, contributing authors from the book will join us for deeper discussions. In this conversation, Heather takes an important step into the public side of our shared work. We talk about how Internal Family Systems has shaped not only our clinical practice, but also our marriage, communication, and shared vision for healing in community. IFS has given us language to understand our internal worlds and how they interact. It has helped us cultivate compassion for our protector parts and develop a steadier way to stay connected during stress and conflict. Heather speaks openly about the parts that surfaced as she chose to step more visibly into this next chapter of ETC. We would truly love for you to join us on our Livestream. Registration information for the Livestream series will be available soon on our website: EmpoweredThroughCompassion.com We are so appreciative of you being a part of this next chapter, in whatever way feels right for your system.
Welcome to this month's Q&A episode of Fly To Freedom.These questions come directly from members inside the Eating Disorder Recovery Circle. They are real, honest reflections from people in the middle of recovery — people who are brave enough to say the quiet things out loud.In this episode, we explore:• Fear of fullness and the panic that can follow eating• The “I feel fat” sensation and what's really happening underneath• When it's appropriate to ease pressure in recovery• Dog walking vs compulsive exercise — how to tell the difference• Fear foods, preference, and the evolution from structure to integration• Guilt and grief for the years lost to an eating disorder• Weight gain fear and comparison in recovery• Feeling trapped between thinness hope and body exhaustion• What “all in” actually means (and what it doesn't)• Why restriction changes personality, irritability, and memory• Recovery feeling easier than expected — and why that can be normal• Trauma, EMDR, and the fear of relapse• Living on chocolate and fearing meals — how to move forward• The overnight “reset” effect after sleep• Delayed fullness and loud digestion in recoveryThis episode weaves together nervous system science, lived experience, and compassionate guidance for the messy middle of recovery.If you have ever thought:“Why does fullness feel so threatening?”“Why do I wake up feeling like a different person?”“Will my weight ever stabilise?”“Am I doing recovery properly?”“Is it safe to go deeper into trauma work?”You will likely hear yourself in these questions.Recovery is not linear. It is not one-size-fits-all. And it is not meant to feel like another rigid rule book.It is a process of teaching your nervous system that food is safe, rest is allowed, and your body does not need to be at war with you.If listening to this felt like someone finally put words to what you've been carrying quietly… that is not an accident.The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle exists for exactly this kind of work.Inside the Circle, you can:• Submit questions for monthly Q&As• Join live group coaching calls• Access recovery courses and workshops• Use tools like the Feelings Navigator to work with emotions instead of fighting them• Connect with others who understand this experience from the insideIt is a space that complements therapy beautifully, or stands alone if that's where you are.If you are ready for recovery that feels supported, steady, and grounded in both science and lived experience, you are very welcome inside.You can join us here:

Nidhi Tewari, a highly sought after wellbeing and work culture speaker who applies her experience as a licensed therapist to the work world, has spent more than a decade advising high-performing leaders on burnout, trauma, communication, and work culture. In this conversation, she brings a clinician's precision to a topic many organizations still treat superficially: why capable professionals disengage, shut down, or burn out and what leaders can do differently. Tewari's perspective is grounded in personal experience. After burning out multiple times and experiencing the sudden loss of her best friend, she recognized that burnout is not only psychological but physiological. Elevated stress markers, chronic exhaustion, and a dysregulated nervous system are not signs of weakness; they are signals. The first insight is simple but often ignored: professionals override subtle cues from their mind and body until the body forces a reset. Sustainable performance requires noticing those cues early. Second, she explains how nervous system regulation shapes leadership behavior. Many high achievers operate in a chronic stress state, alternating between hyper-vigilance and shutdown. Tewari introduces a practical framework, RESET: recognize reactions, identify emotions, soothe the body, explore the root, and tell the story safely, to move from reactivity to deliberate response. Techniques such as 4-7-8 breathing are not wellness trends; they are tools to regain cognitive control before making consequential decisions. Third, she addresses trauma directly. Workplace dysfunction, toxic leadership, and persistent undermining can create patterns that resemble clinical trauma. Drawing on her specialization in EMDR therapy, she explains how unresolved experiences shape beliefs such as "it's my fault" or "I'm not good enough," which then influence professional conduct. Processing those beliefs changes not only emotional resilience but executive presence. Fourth, Tewari reframes burnout as a systems problem. Individual interventions, self-care seminars and boundary workshops, miss the root causes. Isolation, lack of trust, unclear expectations, and the sense that one does not matter are primary drivers. Her research on attuned leadership shows that when leaders respond with moment-to-moment relational awareness, productivity and psychological safety improve. Burnout declines when connection rises. Fifth, she differentiates emotional intelligence from relational intelligence. The latter includes flexibility, reading cues, self-regulation, and collaboration. In an AI-enabled workplace, these human capabilities become strategic assets. AI can analyze data and refine language, but it cannot read tension in a room, detect subtle distress, or repair a damaged professional relationship. Leaders who master attunement, adjusting tone, pace, and posture to meet the moment, will distinguish themselves. The discussion closes with a practical lens on communication styles: fixers, avoiders, connectors, and explorers. The explorer—curious, measured, and willing to ask "help me understand more"—creates psychological safety without centering themselves. That shift alone can alter team dynamics. For senior professionals, the message is direct. Performance is inseparable from physiology. Leadership is inseparable from self-awareness. And sustainable results require disciplined attention to how people feel, not only what they produce.

EMDR in Practice: The Functional Model – When Do You Become a Qualified Counsellor? In Episode 367 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly explore three timely and important topics for counsellors, psychotherapists, and students. Firstly, in Ethical, Sustainable Practice, Rory and Ken explore talking to clients about AI in therapy, discussing the growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in clients' lives and why therapists need to address the risks, ethics, and boundaries of AI use within the therapeutic contract. Then, in Practice Matters, Rory is joined by Andrew Kidd for the second part of their conversation on EMDR, focusing on the functional model and how EMDR works in practice to help clients reprocess trauma. Finally, in Student Services, Rory and Ken unpack a common source of confusion for trainees: when you actually become “qualified” as a counsellor, and how this differs from accreditation and employability. Talking to Clients About AI in Therapy [starts at 03:08 mins] Rory and Ken explore talking to clients about AI in therapy, examining why counsellors need to understand and address clients' use of AI and how to ethically integrate this into therapeutic practice. Key points discussed include: Many clients are already using AI tools (such as large language models) for emotional support and guidance, often without understanding the risks. AI does not hold duty of care, ethical accountability, or safeguarding responsibilities, unlike a trained therapist. Responses from AI can sound confident and empathic but may be inaccurate, inappropriate, or harmful. Client data shared with AI tools may be stored, analysed, and used commercially, with no guarantee of confidentiality. Including AI use within the therapy contract helps protect clients and supports ethical, defensible practice. EMDR in Practice: The Functional Model [starts at 41:03 mins] In this second interview, Andrew Kidd explains how EMDR works in the therapy room and how it helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories. Key points from this conversation include: Trauma is understood not as what happened, but as what happens inside the nervous system as a result of events. EMDR works by activating the brain's natural healing mechanisms through bilateral stimulation (eye movements, taps, or tones). Bilateral stimulation helps clients stay grounded in the present while safely processing past memories. Clients do not need to recount traumatic events in full detail for EMDR to be effective. After reprocessing, memories often feel more distant and less emotionally charged, allowing clients to live more freely in the present. When Do You Become a Qualified Counsellor? [starts at 01:02:11 mins] Rory and Ken clarify the difference between being qualified, accredited, and employable within the counselling profession. Key points include: Completing a recognised counselling diploma (with supervised practice) means you are technically a qualified counsellor. Counselling is not a legally protected title in the UK and relies on voluntary regulation via professional bodies. Many employers (such as the NHS and EAPs) now require accreditation, which comes after significant post-qualification practice hours. Accreditation often involves additional competencies and assessments not covered in initial training. Understanding this career pathway early can help students plan realistically and stay resilient in their professional journey.

He describes backpacking the world, rediscovering music, writing his book Afghanistan Sniper: Trauma on the Frontline and Beyond, giving mental health talks to veterans and military leaders, and reaching full remission—no longer carrying the diagnosis. A moving close full of hope, purpose, and the clear message that complete healing from combat trauma is possible. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
What if the dream feels “too big” because you haven't built the capacity to hold it yet? What if success isn't missing you—but waiting for you to feel safe enough to receive it? This week, Jessica sits down with actress Karolina Wydra (Pluribus, Sneaky Pete) to talk about the long game of manifestation. From growing up in communist Poland and internalizing scarcity and suppression, to stepping away from acting at 39 to become a mother, Karolina's story is one of surrender, self-trust, and divine timing. It's a true testimony to something central at TBM: what is meant for you will not miss you. After years of inner work, Karolina landed a life-changing role on Pluribus, fulfilling a longtime manifestation of working with Vince Gilligan. Through EMDR, nervous system regulation, Expanders, journaling, and radical honesty with herself, she shares how subconscious reprogramming helped her release the belief that her dreams were “too big” and instead expand her capacity to receive them. If you've ever feared success as much as failure, this conversation is a reminder that manifestation isn't about forcing—it's about becoming safe enough to hold what you've been calling in.

In this episode, Lily sits down with Molly, who shares the complex layers of being both an adoptee and an NPE within a small-town dynamic where the adults knew the truth long before she did. Molly opens up about the "fairytale" highs and devastating lows of a reunion that ultimately didn't last, and how she has utilized EMDR therapy and her faith to process the profound grief and shame of those experiences.Resources Mentioned:Untangling Our Roots SummitLeslie Pate MackinnonEMDR TherapyHusband, Father, Killer: The Alyssa Pladl Story | LifetimeThe Kiss: A Memoir by Kathryn HarrisonNPE Stories PatreonNPE Stories facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/NPEstories

Hi love.Have you ever felt like no one listens…until you lose it?You ask calmly.You explain clearly.You regulate yourself.And nothing changes.But the moment you explode? Suddenly, everyone's paying attention.In this premium Behind the Mic episode, Tiffini, Joy, and I unpack the dynamic that hit a nerve in the office this morning:Why do some systems only respond to anger?We talk about:– The pattern of suppressing anger to be the “good girl” – The breaking point where suppression turns into explosion – Why some partners (and kids) only respond when you're dysregulated – Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the war between your Manager and Firefighter parts – The Anacardium pattern: “Everybody breaks.” – How codependency is rooted in the refusal to feel – Why leaning in feels scarier than leaning out – The guilt that comes when you stop over-functioning – Parenting from regulation instead of control – And how to break generational suppression before it reaches your daughter's Saturn returnWe also explore a powerful truth:Codependency isn't just “doing too much.”It's: “I don't want to feel. And I don't want you to feel.”And when feelings are suppressed long enough, rage becomes the only available language.This episode is raw.We talk about screaming fights.Throwing clothes in the yard.Village parenting.Undoing 20 years of over-functioning.And what it looks like to assume goodwill instead of defending.If you've ever thought: “They only hear me when I'm angry,”This conversation will help you understand why.And more importantly, how to stop needing to break to be seen.Welcome 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
347: Ever feel like your stomach is reacting before your brain even catches up? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Will Cole to talk about what is really going on with the gut brain connection and why your stress, shame, and even childhood trauma might be showing up as bloating, anxiety, brain fog, or inflammation. We get into his newest book, Gut Feelings, and unpack everything from the vagus nerve to “shame inflammation,” plus how chronic stress can spike inflammatory markers like interleukin 6. If you have ever wondered why you can eat the same meal on vacation and feel fine, then eat it at home and feel wrecked, this one is for you. We are connecting the dots between your gut, your nervous system, your past, and your plate. And trust me, it is all connected. Topics Discussed: → How does stress affect gut health? → Can shame increase inflammation levels? → What is the gut brain connection? → Does alcohol damage the gut microbiome? → How does childhood trauma impact autoimmune disease?

Dear Friends,In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Doug Hilton, a counselor with over 30 years of experience supporting clients through trauma, addiction recovery, and couples/family dynamics, and a Certified Universal Healing Tao instructor who has integrated Qigong into his clinical practice for two decades. Doug is also the co-author (with Master Mantak Chia) of The Tao of Addiction and Recovery, a book that reframes addiction through a Taoist lens: not as a moral failure, but as a system-level imbalance—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.Together, we explore:- Why Doug describes addiction as an imbalance in the system, and how that insight emerged through Taoist training in Thailand- What Taoism is (and what it is not): a spiritual system rooted in living in harmony with nature, without dogma or forced belief- How addiction develops through natural human tendencies (adaptation, denial, pain avoidance) that can become exploited over time- The Taoist view of recovery as harmony over willpower, and why inner balance reduces the “need to medicate”- A practical, grounding Qigong entry point: breathing into the lower Dantian (“Where the mind goes, the chi follows”)- The Inner Smile Meditation and the elemental organ system—how sequencing (wood → fire vs. water → fire) supports balance- Doug's work bridging Western therapy and Taoist energetics: EMDR, trauma, and Taoist Emotional Recycling (TER)- A simple guided TER eye-movement practice you can try (when you are not driving) to support emotional clearing- Shame, guilt, relapse, and how restoring flow through the “garden hose” system of energy channels changes recovery outcomes- Why sexuality and sexual energy are often neglected in mainstream recovery—and how Taoist practices help integrate it with care- Doug also shares his personal journey—how Taoism “found him” long before he fully understood it—and why he believes this work matters not only for people facing addiction, but for anyone touched by it.Resources & LinksDoug Hilton: fullcirclehealing.caThailand program: balancerhehab.solutionsBook: The Tao of Addiction and Recovery Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

Childhood emotional neglect doesn't always look like what you'd expect. Sometimes it looks like a parent who showed up to every game, made dinner every night, and still wasn't really there. That gap between what was present and what was missing is exactly what we're unpacking today.Dr. Danica Harris is a somatic experiencing practitioner and complex trauma expert, and she breaks down why emotional neglect is so hard to identify, what it costs the body to grow up as the easy kid, and what healing actually looks like when you go low and slow. If you've ever said "I had a good childhood" and still felt like something was off, this one is for you.Find Dr. Danica Harris@theempoweredtherapist on Instagram and Facebook @empoweredhealingdallas for her group practiceCheck out her group practice here and learn more about working with Danica here-Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!

You're either eating everything in sight to numb the ache…or staring at food like your body forgot how to be hungry.Welcome to what so many women quietly call the divorce diet.After divorce, your nervous system is on high alert. Grief, resentment, fear, and mental load don't just affect your thoughts — they change your biology.In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, we unpack:• Why cortisol and adrenaline shut digestion down — or drive intense sugar and carb cravings • How heartbreak, betrayal, and chronic stress deplete specific organs in the body • The Traditional Chinese Medicine organ–emotion connection (liver resentment, spleen worry, kidney fear, heart heartbreak, lung grief) • Why therapy alone sometimes doesn't “stick” • And the nourishment layer most women are missingThis isn't about willpower.It's not about discipline.And it's definitely not about another diet.It's about survival physiology.Your body has been keeping the score — and it may be asking for deeper nourishment, not more control.We also share a whole-food approach to rebuilding from the inside out using grass-fed beef organs, collagen, and colostrum — ancestral nutrients that support the exact systems divorce stress depletes.

Lordy, lordy, Sarah is almost 40! In this episode, Susie shares a wild story she heard about the OJ Simpson case that has her questioning everything. We also dive into the America's Next Top Model documentary. As two women with reality TV backgrounds, we found it triggering, and discuss why people get so offended when we share negative experiences from our time on MTV.From the chaos of TV to the delights of recovery, we then explore the topic of EMDR therapy. We break down what experts are saying about it, why there is disagreement on why it works, and the concerns about some therapists getting fast and loose with their implementation of it. Finally, Susie discusses an interview with a woman who had no idea she was pregnant and accidentally gave birth in a toilet. We examine how it is possible for someone to be completely unaware of their pregnancy.In This Episode:Sarah is almost 40!A wild story about the OJ Simpson caseThe America's Next Top Model documentary and our MTV reality TV experiencesWhat experts say about EMDR therapy and its implementationHow someone can not know they are pregnant and give birth in a toiletThe Sponsors & Partnerships we Love:Get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandySupport the Brain Candy Podcast:Website: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Book Recommendations: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Merchandise: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Candy Club: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Sponsor Codes: https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Follow Us on Social Media & Platforms:LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights: https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What if the moment you finally said “enough” became the spark that built your legacy? We sit down with DeShandra (Monet) Cullins—a survivor, mother of five, entrepreneur, and author of You Good, Sis?—who turned lifelong trauma into a blueprint for healing, purpose, and generational change. From escaping intimate partner violence to walking into a shelter with her daughters, she shares the precise steps that moved her from survival mode to building a beauty brand that began in a women's shelter and grew into a platform for women's empowerment.DeShandra opens up about complex PTSD and why it's often misread as “just depression.” She breaks down how chronic trauma reshapes a nervous system, how EMDR helped her separate triggers from identity, and how simple daily structure—miracle mornings, hydration, journaling—became anchors that outlast motivation. We also spotlight the insidious tactics of financial abuse and the practical pivots that counter them: turning tax refunds into startup capital, learning credit repair and business credit, and using honest landlord letters to rebuild housing stability.At the heart of the episode is ROOTS, her five-part framework—Reveal, Own, Open, Turn, Sustain—that integrates inner work with business strategy. You'll hear how bold lipstick shades named for power and courage helped her reclaim her voice, why “Monet” was armor and “DeShandra” is integration, and how the You Good, Sis? book and journal teach check-ins that prevent burnout before it breaks us. If you care about survivor advocacy, faith-informed healing, entrepreneurship, or building legacy from hard beginnings, this story will change how you think about resilience.Learn more about DeShandra and her work at www.deshandracullins.com or www.discoveringdeshandrasolutions.com and on Instagram at @discovering.deshandra
