In this episode, we sit down with writing coach and industry strategist Nick Jobe for a conversation that moves well beyond the professional. He shares openly about growing up with fear and health anxiety, the impact of early emotional neglect, and the long process of stepping into personal responsibility and self-worth. We explore how EMDR helped him rewire long-held patterns, how COVID became a catalyst for questioning mainstream narratives, and why he draws a hard line when it comes to using AI in creative work. This is a conversation about value, alignment, and what it takes to stop living at odds with yourself…personally, relationally, and vocationally.Time Stamps 02:19 - Nick Jobe: The Writing Coach 03:18 - The Journey of Fear and Imagination 11:35 - Navigating Growth Through Adversity 16:32 - Transitioning Life in Los Angeles 24:38 - Navigating Trauma and Healing 28:42 - Reframing Trauma and EMDR Therapy 35:12 - The Value Explosion: A Journey to Self-Worth 42:20 - The Awakening: Understanding Media Influence 48:32 - Disrupting the Entertainment Industry 57:02 - The Weaponization of Humility in the Entertainment Industry 01:02:20 - The Impact of AI on Artistic Integrity 01:04:47 - The Impact of AI on Artistic Expression 01:10:57 - The Impact of Language Models on Creative Writing 01:16:08 - The Value of Personal Creativity 01:23:18 - The Impact of AI on Creativity 01:26:15 - Navigating Creative Blocks and Tools Guest Linkshttps://www.pageonetv.com/https://www.beyondthescript.tv/Connect with UsSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeJoin our membership Friends of the TruthWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

In this episode of The Art of Growth, Joel Hubbard and Jim Zartman sit down once again with therapist Michelle Pruett to explore “faux wisdom” in the therapy world—those phrases, concepts, and quick fixes that sound good but miss the heart of true healing. Together, they unpack how readiness, resistance, and relational depth play vital roles in transformation. They also revisit the importance of calibrated support and challenge, the misuse of trauma language, and how timing matters more than advice.

We explore how Christine blends years of EMDR therapy with life coaching to help her clients clear deep blocks and reconnect with their true selves.

Three Takeaways: 1.      You don't always have to talk something to death to heal it. 2.      Feeling stuck is often a sign that something deeper wants attention. 3.      The right support can help you move through what's hard—without carrying it forever.   Getting unstuck isn't  about trying harder -  It's about finding what's really in the way. -Christine Roslund     To contact Christine: https://beingtrue2you.substack.com/     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

Leaving a Narcissistic Parent // How to Emotionally Distance from a Narcissistic Parent This episode came from a YouTube listener's question on how to leave a narcissistic relationship — and for me, that brought up one of the hardest experiences I've worked through: leaving a narcissistic parent. In this episode, I share my personal story of growing up with a narcissistic parent and what the emotional process of leaving really looked like — because it wasn't clean, it wasn't quick, and it definitely didn't happen all at once.   These relationships aren't just painful — they're confusing. A narcissistic parent relationship can blur your sense of self so much that you don't even realise how far you've lost your voice until you start to get it back. Here's what I share in this episode: Why leaving a narcissistic parent feels emotionally impossible A personal story from one of the most painful moments of my life — and how my dad's reaction made everything painfully clear How shame, guilt, and emotional manipulation kept me stuck for years Why therapy became the turning point — and what it felt like to hear a professional say, “It's not you.” What rebuilding self-trust actually looked like (and why I couldn't do it alone) If you're in a relationship with a narcissistic parent where everything is always about them, where your feelings are minimized, and you constantly question yourself — please know: You are not too sensitive. You're not broken. And you are not alone. This isn't about blame. It's about choosing your mental health. It's about honoring your truth — even when that means walking away from someone who was supposed to love you. Recommendations from this episode //

This episode explores the complex relationship between women, societal expectations to "be nice," and how these dynamics show up in the EMDR therapy room. Whether you're a therapist or a client, we unpack how people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and emotional safety intersect during trauma processing. Along with EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Consultant, Katie Quinlan, CMCH, we will discuss how therapists can hold space for authenticity over politeness and support clients in unlearning the pressure to perform niceness, especially when healing from trauma rooted in those expectations.ResourcesWhat Is EMDR Therapy?Online EMDR Therapy ResourcesIntroduction to EMDR Therapy (video), EMDRIA, 2020Go With That Magazine® (member login required to view complete articles)Guerra, K.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing was only created in the late 20th century, but it's since established itself as a popular and increasingly used form of therapy. EMDR is especially recommended for children and adults dealing with trauma from physical or psychological violence, such as sexual abuse. It was discovered relatively recently in 1987, but that doesn't mean it's an alternative treatment; it's a clinically proven approach. According to charity PTSD UK: “One study showed up to 90% of single-trauma victims no longer have PTSD after only 3 90-minute sessions.” How does it work? How was it discovered?

When I work with parents, they ask me, have I done it right? Did I do something wrong? How could I have done it better? There is a lot of self-reflection, which is really healthy. But I'm also mindful of the emotional burden that adoptive parents carry all the time. ~Crystal Luk-Worrall Hi Neighbor, EMDR therapy for kids? Yes!

It happens to us too.In this episode, therapist Rosey Schaefermeyer joins us for a deep dive into how medical trauma shapes parents, how it lingers in our bodies and minds, and why it's so easy to feel stuck in survival mode. Rosey shares how trauma builds on itself, why some moments become impossible to shake, and what parents can do to move forward while still being present for their children.If you've ever wondered why a single smell or sound can send you spiraling and how you can break this harrowing cycle, this episode is for you. Links:Get a copy of Anchored by Deb Dana.Find a trauma-informed therapist with Amanda Griffith-Atkins' therapist directory.Listen to Ep 25 on EMDR Therapy with Rosey.Listen to Ep 138 on how to find a trauma-informed therapist.Fill out our contact form to join upcoming discussion groups!Follow us on Instagram @the_rare_life!Donate to the podcast or Contact me about sponsoring an episode.Follow the Facebook page.Join the Facebook group Parents of Children with Rare Conditions.Access the transcript on the website here.And if you love this podcast, please leave us a rating or review in your favorite podcast app!

“My job as a therapist is to get fired by you.”When my EMDR therapist said that, I was like, “Wait, what!?”

Note: We highly encourage you to listen to Parts I & II before listening to this episode, as we continue to honor our truth and authenticity, which may feel more intense than the previous episodes on this subject. We would like for you to be able to determine if this episode will be something you want to listen to or pass on, so here are some details of what we share in this season 3 finale. The first thing we talk about is being "turned on" and how that isn't always a good feeling and can be triggering. And then we talk about the Big O, but just so you know, we use the actual word and all the actual words in this episode, and also colorful language here and there. We also talk about selves that were created to quote “like” sex, and we discuss flashbacks, body memories and switching. We talk about how we manage our sexual selves, including perceptions of feeling like a perpetrator. We go over the topic of consent, and we also talk about the feelings of guilt that come up for either wanting sex or not wanting sex when in a romantic relationship. Please remember that you may pause and come back if you feel yourself or selves feeling triggered or dissociated. Please take good care of yourself or selves while listening.Please visit acoupleofmultiples.com to see all of our current offerings!Our amazing sponsors for Season 3:The Institute for Creative Mindfulness, one of the largest EMDR Therapy training programs in North America is directed by Dr. Jamie+ Marich, the only EMDR therapy trainer who is “out” as a plural and offers the full EMDR Therapy basic training in a way that honors lived experience and destigmatizes dissociation in clinical work.

Her private practice focuses on working with adolescents and adults in transitional life phases dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Drew and Garden System talk about how in the beginning a system feels separated from each other, even feeling like enemies. There often is difficulty in listening to selves, because it is hard to learn and believe what parts hold and about trauma that occurred. They talk about how they developed relationships within their systems, navigating selves with different values, beliefs and behaviors. Drew and Garden System share personal stories about improving relationships by building trust, figuring out what is important to different selves, compromising and coming together as systems. Also covered is the often necessary topic of adult selves looking after and reparenting younger or little selves. The episode concludes that offering gratitude to your selves for all the strengths they bring to your system as a whole helps all of yous feel appreciated and loved.

Hey Warriors Unmasked family, Chuck here! I'm so excited to bring you this incredible conversation with Robert Grigore, a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified EMDR Therapist, and author of You Need Therapy: EMDR – Real People with Real Problems Getting Real Help. If you've ever wondered how trauma impacts your mental health or how you can heal from it, this episode is a must-listen. Robert's groundbreaking work in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy has transformed the lives of over 1,000 individuals, including CEOs, athletes, and even high-profile celebrities. In this episode, we dive deep into how EMDR works, why it's so effective, and how it can help you overcome the emotional baggage that might be holding you back. Key Takeaways from Robert's Insights: What is EMDR? Robert explains how EMDR isn't just another talk therapy—it's a structured process that helps you rewire your brain and nervous system. By addressing the root causes of trauma, EMDR allows you to release the emotional weight of past experiences in as little as three days. Understanding Trauma: Trauma isn't just about major life events; it can stem from smaller, repeated experiences that make us feel powerless. Robert shares how these "small T traumas" can shape our beliefs and patterns, often without us realizing it. Breaking Patterns: Robert highlights how our subconscious patterns can keep us stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. EMDR helps identify and reprogram these patterns, freeing us to live a more joyful and fulfilling life. Chuck's Personal Experience with EMDR During this conversation, I shared my own transformative journey with EMDR therapy and how Robert's work helped me let go of decades-old emotional pain. After just a few sessions, I can confidently say that past traumas no longer hold power over me. If you've been carrying a heavy emotional load, I encourage you to explore this life-changing therapy. Robert's Mission and Resources Robert's passion for mental health shines through in his work as the founder of Grigore Counselling & Associates and his podcast, The Mental Health Show with Robert Grigore. Through his innovative Total Immersion EMDR approach, Robert has redefined how quickly and effectively people can heal. His book, You Need Therapy, is a fantastic resource for anyone curious about EMDR or seeking to better understand their mental health.

She also works part-time as an in-home early interventionist for special needs children aged birth to three. In 2005, she was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) resulting from childhood trauma. Jaime searched for support only to find there were very limited resources available. Her efforts to find support for herself led her to seek out other survivors living with the disorder. As she found others living with DID, she witnessed firsthand the challenges they shared and decided to shift her focus to help others, like herself, living with DID. Her passion to help others led to the creation of An Infinite Mind in January of 2008. Jaime spends her free time traveling with her husband, being out in nature, and snuggling her dog and 2 cats on the couch. If you enjoyed this episode please leave us a review!

Website: https://www.healingloudly.com Instagram: @sessionswithsarra Phone: (239) 688-5478 Email: sarra@healingloudly.com From Sarra: Since I was 15 years old I have been a part of the movement against sexual violence. During my teenage years, I was volunteering with a local rape crisis center which is when my passion started for helping people heal from trauma. For the past 9 years I have experience working in clinical mental health settings. My favorite part about being a therapist is seeing people regain their life back. A traumatic event can have an enormous impact on the way people feel ashamed about what happened, unsafe in the world, and voiceless. As a trauma-informed therapist I treat PTSD, anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and issues with body image. Healing Loudly can help you release the pain of your past and live fully in the present moment.  I provide EMDR therapy in Fort Myers, FL and virtually across Florida. If you are ready to start your healing journey, give me a call or send me an email to schedule your first therapy session.  ____________________________ Welcome to The Well Community!
