Hiatus Replay - Therapy Info SeriesFuck The Rules PodcastOrginally aired: 01/02/2024One of my favorite people, a colleague,Lynn Polhill joins me to talk about her journey to working with teens. A genuine, kind, wicked smart, hilarious person and I'm also fortunate to be friends with her!More info about Lynn:"Lynn was born, the only daughter of sharecroppers, living rough in the hills of Tennessee... A BIO!!! Fuck that.  I'm just me.  Which is to say, no one particularly special or important or caught up in trying to make it so.  I was born, and moved 5 times before leaving home the first time @ 14, then 3 more times before leaving home for good @ 16.  I majored in Guidance & Counseling, graduated with a BA at the age of 20, and couldn't take myself seriously.  I moved to NYC, learned some things, moved to South Carolina and learned more.  Over the next 23 years I then began a parade of 12 moves that would cover 5 states, and offer a plethora of titles and experiences like no university can manage.  Somewhere along the way I grew up a little, realized I needed to take my career seriously for my son's sake, and decided to get my MA in Marriage & Family Counseling so that I could legitimately claim to do what I'd been doing for 25 years, offering sage wisdom like a bubble gum wrapper could only aspire to produce.  In 2016 I began working as a therapist with kids in the East Moline district, and in 2020 decided to take a chance on UTHS in making them an offer they couldn't refuse.  I was contracted to be an independent therapist working full time as part of CoVId recovery attempts with the students there.  Since then I've written many memos and emails, subsequently deleted, questioning why I chose that population, and offering not so sage advice on what to do with our current population of lost and lonely adolescents. I've been a sitting member of numerous disciplinary meetings, problem solving teams, risk assessment forums and after school clubs, all aimed at providing exactly what I've always wanted to do:  Support and advocate for kids with their families and communities, while staying in the shade of their enthusiastic youth. Along the way I've made some friends, met some really amazing people and hopefully been able to effect the lives of kids and parents for the good.I've never followed a damn rule in my life, not because I was a rebel, but because I couldn't be bothered to get permission to do what just seemed right. * * * Support the showWant more sweary goodness?

It reminds us of events, places, people, history, and who we are as individuals.I was lucky to grab my friend, Derek Fortin, former lead singer for The Dawn (among his other participation in several bands), to discuss how he sees music in his life while also being an RN and now a director in the medical world. And we also get into how music moves other humans, how it can express things we think, feel or live but we're unable to put it into what we feel are the right words.One of my favorite lyrics is from one of the songs by Paul Simon: My life's so common it disappearsAnd sometimes even musicCannot substitute for tears- Cool, Cool River, album: The Rhythm of the Saints - released 1990Music is a powerful medium to evoke serious emotions of joy, resignation, anger, love and/or sadness.

The Founder and Executive Director of Operation Equine, Michelle Kaye, joins the show to talk about the impact of equine therapies.  What is it about being around horses that helps people heal?  How is a therapy horse different from a therapy dog?  And what's the horse Rorschach test?  Michelle, Otis, and Cam dive into all this and more on this fun and thoughtful episode.More About Michelle:Michelle possesses over 30 combined years of teaching and counseling experience, and has had the honor of serving those who serve us - in the Military Service Member, Veteran, Emergency Responder, and Health Care Worker communities - for over 13 years.In working with successful and heartfelt organizations such as Project Sanctuary and TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors), and serving as a Military Family Life Counselor (MFLC), she discovered that truly, the whole family serves, and she is dedicated to creating and offering Operation Equine programs to the entire family, as well as to any caregivers who assist them. Horses became Michelle's own personal sanctuary at the age of 6, and she learned to express her sense of confidence and freedom through relationship and spending hours and hours watching them, spending time with them at liberty, and learning how to ride. Later, she began sharing those unique equine experiences and knowledge with others, before equine-assisted therapies were “a thing.” She continues to expand her own personal growth through the power of working with horses, and she is passionate about creating opportunities to empower our Warrior, Protector, and Healer communities to join up. She has been an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning (EAP/L) Eagala Model Certified Mental Health professional since 2010, is somatically trained through EGE (Equine Guided Education), is a proud member of the HERD Institute, has studied with EquuSoma and EponaQuest, and is open to any modalities that truly honor the human-horse connection. Michelle is a Licensed Professional Counselor and educator who is committed to an inclusive Warrior Spirit: in her life, as well as in her organization. The values of integrity, courage, honor, service before self, and loyalty run through her veins, and they are proudly the cornerstones of Operation Equine.Michelle KayeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/OperationEquine/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/operation-equine/

It takes a special breed to do what you do. Remember to always be safe. I struggled. I was in a dark place for a long time.

I'm always looking for new topics, guest ideas, and questions from the audience. To reach out to me email DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or send a message on any of the show pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or wherever else.  That's it for this week, I'll see you all Thursday for a truly bizarre way of handling relationship conflict.
