What is Facilitated Communication? BOP Rewind | Session 199/336 | Jason Travers

Welcome to Session 336 The Behavioral Observations Podcast. Well technically, this is actually Session 199, and I wanted to take a minute to explain why you're hearing a rebroadcast. This conversation with Dr. Jason Travers originally aired back in September of 2022, but I've decided it's worth bringing back because, unfortunately, the issues surrounding Facilitated Communication haven't gone away. In fact, if anything, they've become more relevant. Over the past several years, we've continued to see heartwarming news stories and viral social media posts featuring non-speaking autistic individuals who appear to be communicating through methods such as Facilitated Communication, the Rapid Prompting Method, or Spelling to Communicate. These stories are understandably compelling. We all want people with significant communication challenges to have access to effective ways to express themselves. The problem is that hope, by itself, isn't evidence. Facilitated Communication has been studied extensively for decades, and the scientific record is remarkably consistent. The evidence has repeatedly shown that the messages produced through FC originate with the facilitator, not the individual. Despite that, these practices continue to find new audiences under different names and in different settings. As behavior analysts—and really, as anyone who cares about helping people with disabilities—we have an obligation to evaluate interventions based on evidence, even when the conclusions are uncomfortable. That's especially true when the potential harms are so significant, not only for the individuals using these methods, but also for their families, educators, and support teams. I also think this episode serves as a useful foundation because I plan to cover this topic in greater depth over the coming months, along with other interventions that have gained popularity despite lacking scientific support. Rather than assuming everyone has heard this discussion before, I thought it made sense to revisit what I think is one of the clearest introductions to the topic. So whether you're hearing this conversation for the first time or giving it another listen, I hope you'll pay particular attention to the history of Facilitated Communication, how it was scientifically evaluated, why those findings matter, and how Dr. Travers recommends discussing these issues with colleagues and families in a way that's both accurate and compassionate. Please note that I edited out the "how did you get into ABA segment," so you can get right to the heart of the topic. I'll include links to the original recording if you want to go back and hear more about Jason's background. Here are the shownotes from the original broadcast: If your social media consumption is anything like mine, you've likely seen some feel-good stories in the media as of late that report on non-speaking students - generally students with Autism - who are graduating from college, giving valedictorian speeches, and so forth.  Unfortunately, what's often underpinning many of these cases is a form of Facilitated Communication, or FC for short. What is FC? Glad you asked! In today's episode, Dr. Jason Travers, Associate Professor at Temple University, joins me today to answer this very question (follow him on Twitter here).  We covered the history of Facilitated Communication, the early scientific investigations that discredited this practice, FC's variants like the Rapid Prompting Method and Spelling to Communicate, where the practice of FC stands today, the harms that Facilitated Communication causes both users and caregivers, and how Behavior Analysts should both view and talk about these practices.  Jason also provides the audience with a treasure trove of additional resources: Jason's Research Gate and Google Scholar pages.

Weekend Artist.Then, there are the more colorful, authentic-feeling ways I can describe myself: Soul-Centered Coach. Animist. Dream Worker. Artist of Life.My path to where I am today has been a long and winding one, not at all clear cut or linear, as I once thought paths were supposed to be.“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”Rilke's words have been a great reminder that the path - even if I cannot see it - is always there, always emerging. They have helped me to slow down and ‘live everything' now,~The reason that I coach today is twofold:One, when I'm coaching another human, I feel on purpose, doing some of the most meaningful work I can think of. I feel I'm getting to be part of helping other humans become who and what they uniquely are.The second reason I coach is that it's my way of paying it forward. I wouldn't be where I am today were it not for all the coaches, mentors, teachers, elders, and guides who have shared their time, attention, loving honesty, and fierce compassion with me. These people have helped me get out of my way (more times than I can count) while also being truly inspiring examples of what's possible.Part of what I admire most about these humans has been their willingness to be vulnerable, real, and deeply rooted in service, passing on what they have received. It's my hope and prayer to be able to do the same through my work.Connect with Gage:Website: https://www.gagebock.com/Email: gagebock@gmail.comLI profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagebock/About Beverly:Beverly Sartain is the President of the Holistic Coach Training Institute, where she trains coaches on coaching skills and a holistic approach.

Newly disclosed emails drawn from the vast Epstein files show Maxwell and her late partner Jeffrey Epstein actively cultivating relationships with a wide circle of wealthy, powerful men and women — including business leaders, politicians, financiers, and media figures. In some exchanges, Maxwell appears to be coordinating introductions, social events, and even personal contacts between Epstein and influential people, often disguised as casual networking or elite socializing. The correspondence contains flirtatious or unguarded tones at times, and suggests Maxwell played an active role in Epstein's social affiliation efforts, beyond merely managing his properties or private affairs. Much of this content has reignited scrutiny over how deeply — and for what purposes — Epstein and Maxwell embedded themselves in circles of the elite, even long after Epstein's 2008 conviction.Alongside these relationship-building emails, the files also include messages that indicate Maxwell's involvement in strategizing around Epstein's legal troubles and reputation. Some emails reportedly touch on discrediting accusers, directing associates on how to handle public allegations, or exchanging gifts and favors with prominent contacts. These communications have fed broader concerns that Maxwell's role was not just administrative but influential in shaping the network around Epstein — raising questions about the extent to which that network understood, enabled, or ignored the abuse that later became the center of federal prosecutions and civil litigation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ask most farming families when succession actually begins and you'll hear a number — fifty-eight, sixty, "once the debt's down." In Episode 129 of The AgriCoach Wealth & Wisdom Podcast, succession facilitator James Hamilton of Cultivate Advisory offers a very different answer, and it reframes almost everything families think they know about handing on the land.James isn't a consultant who parachutes in with theory. He's a farmer first — twenty-five years on the land at Narromine with his wife Amanda — who lived through his own family's succession and came out the other side with relationships stronger, not strained. That lived experience is the spine of this conversation with Ben Law, and it's why his approach lands so differently from the usual advice.Ben and James get into the one conversation most families quietly avoid for years — the one that, left unspoken, slowly erodes relationships while everyone waits for a "better time." They talk through the difference between fair and equal, and why the families who get this right stop fixating on dollar figures and start thinking about something far more powerful. There's also a deceptively simple golden rule for parents that turns the usual planning process on its head — and spares them the heartbreak of presenting a polished plan only to watch it fall flat.You'll hear why the strongest farming families treat relationships and balance sheets as equally important, what really happens when you invite the child who "doesn't need anything" into the room, and how time itself quietly becomes either the most valuable asset on the table or the most expensive thing you waste.This one is for forward-thinking families who'd rather shape the next chapter on their own terms than have it shaped for them. Whether you're five years out or fifteen, the next gen wondering how to even raise it, or a parent who keeps putting it off, family farm succession planning starts with a single conversation — and this episode shows you how to begin it well.

How can leaders elevate their impact without sacrificing their energy, focus, and quality of life? In this episode, Kevin talks with Laurie Maddalena about what it means to become an elevated leader in today's changing world of work. Laurie challenges the outdated belief that leadership requires constant overwhelm, availability, and personal sacrifice, and instead makes the case for leading with greater intention, self-awareness, reflection, and energy. Kevin and Laurie discuss why many leaders are promoted without real preparation, how the role shifts from doing the work to developing people, and why managers must move from being fixers to facilitators. They also discuss practical ways to protect focus and manage energy rather than just time.

Looking outward, it can be tempting to jump to conclusions about the unconscious bias we might assign to other people.  We can make assumptions about what we know about their upbringing, how they look, who they spend time with, where they live, what we think we know about them.  Better to resist that temptation.

What if your burnout isn't just a scheduling problem — what if it's an energy problem? In this powerful episode, we explore why emotional healing is the missing piece in most nurse leader recovery plans. Drawing from Scripture, quantum physics, and the bioresonance technology behind WholeBio Insights, Shan reveals how unresolved emotions are stored in the body as disrupted frequencies — and why you can't think your way out of what your nervous system is holding.   Joined by Aligned leadership coach, Kassandra Hamilton, this episode takes you inside a real burnout story and the emotional work that made recovery possible. If you've tried all the strategies and still feel depleted, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it.   What You'll Learn in This Episode This episode is for you if you've been asking why rest isn't enough, why strategies aren't sticking, or why you still feel empty even when things look okay on the outside. Here's what we cover:   Why burnout is fundamentally an energy problem — and what the Bible has always said about it The Hebrew meaning of Shalom and why it's actually a description of energetic wholeness What Proverbs 17:22 reveals about the body-emotion-health connection (that science is just now catching up to) How Mark Virkler's "Prayers that Heal the Heart" framework reframes emotional healing as a clinical necessity, not just spiritual work What quantum physics' Observer Effect has to do with your burnout recovery Why emotion is literally "energy in motion" — and what happens when you suppress it How bioresonance technology (WholeBio Insights™) reads the body's frequencies to reveal emotional disruption before symptoms become diagnosable Kassandra Hamilton's honest account of what burnout looked and felt like as a leader — and what it actually took to heal   About Our Guest: Kassandra Hamilton Leadership & Alignment Coach, Best-Selling Author, Facilitator, Bioenergy & Sound Healer, and quality improvement specialist in the healthcare field.

Today our guest is Derrick Lawson, co-executive director of CATLL and CASCD and a former principal at all three school levels. Derrick shares practical strategies for building relational capacity with staff and students at the start of the school year, and why the first days of school should be spent on connection, not content. He also explains how school leaders can build staff capacity for relationship-building by modeling connection activities, creating shared resources, and embedding brief connection routines into every staff meeting throughout the year. In this conversation, Derrick offers important reminders for educators and leaders: Students will not learn at their best until they feel seen, heard, and valued, and that environment has to be built intentionally before content can stick. Teachers who say relationship-building "isn't their thing" often just lack a structure or script. Giving them ready-made activities and modeling them first removes that barrier. When leaders model connection activities with staff, teachers replicate them in their classrooms. What you put in front of people is what you are most likely to see spread. Ten years from now, students and staff will not remember individual lessons, they will remember how you made them feel.

Mental shortcuts, such as bias, are essential to our survival. Understanding that unconscious bias is a mental shortcut makes it easier to examine it in ourselves, instead of simply rejecting the idea that we might harbor it. If it's a moral failing, well, clearly, I don't want to admit that possibility about myself.  If we are willing to look at ourselves, we can dig into what unconscious biases we may have. We can consider where they started. Without punishing judgment of ourselves or our early influences.  My most recent guest, David Hoffman, described the article he had written with Helen Winter, called “Follow the Science: Proven Strategies for Reducing Unconscious Bias.” You can find it here: https://blc.law/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Follow-the-Science-Proven-Strategies-for-Reducing-Unconscious-Bias-Final-2023-04-15.pdf Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Guest Bio: Simone Milasas is a best-selling author, international speaker, and relationship innovator known for her refreshingly honest and unconventional approach to love, intimacy, and life. For over two decades, she has facilitated classes around the world, empowering people to move beyond expectations, judgment, and dependency to create relationships based on choice, freedom, and true connection. She is the author of Relationship: Are You Sure That You Want One?, Joy of Business, and Getting Out of Debt Joyfully, and the creator of the Intimate Play for Lovers card deck. Simone's work has been featured in international media including Body and Soul, The Sunday Telegraph, Bloom TV, Thrive Global, Body+Soul, Mamamia, Sydney Morning Herald, and she brings a unique, nonjudgmental perspective that leaves listeners and readers feeling both empowered and deeply seen.

Interpersonal conflict can erupt unexpectedly. If it does, a firm foundation for the relationship can frequently prevent lasting harm from occurring.  People can find a way forward and not engage in earth-scorching behavior. And, often, interpersonal conflict is simmering for a while before it comes to a boil.  It may be tempting to pretend it's not happening. Or to know it's happening and decide not to deal with it.  But that lack of action can be a lack of prevention.  Prevention of damage that might be minimized by effective conflict resolution but didn't need to happen at all.  Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

The spaces we spend time in either stress or calm us. Or maybe they feel fully neutral. Our day-to-day setpoint in the environment where we live our lives sets us up for conflict prevention and resolution “readiness”.  We can easily overlook the environment we are in precisely because we live in it.  Taking a moment to step back and really think about the spaces we inhabit can help reduce stress and encourage a sense of calm. When we do that, we are helping ourselves to be better equipped to avoid unnecessary conflicts and to more easily handle those that appear. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

The focus is on supporting others without over-identifying as the “teacher” or taking ownership of participants' experiences.   She explores what effective facilitation actually requires, including staying regulated, present, and anchored while group processes unfold. Rather than managing or fixing what arises, the emphasis is on creating a steady space where people can meet their own experience directly. The episode also touches on navigating group dynamics, knowing when to step in or step back, and maintaining clarity when emotional material arises, with facilitation framed as presence over performance.   Increasing accessibility to functional healing + non-dual spiritual oneness: www.functionalspirituality.com   Free resources: Newsletter sign-up:  A monthly update for me on new offers and the energy of the month.

The Real Reason Your Business Still Feels Like a Job Episode Summary: Most founders don't stall because they lack strategy, tools, or hustle—they stall because they're stuck in the wrong role. In this episode of the TriMetric Roadmap Podcast, Scott and Jeff break down the Founder Leadership Spectrum, a simple but powerful framework that helps you identify where you are as a leader—and what it will take to grow beyond it. If your business feels heavier than it should… if everything still depends on you… or if you've hit a ceiling you can't seem to break—this conversation will help you see exactly why. What You'll Learn: The 5 stages every founder moves through: Operator → Coordinator → Facilitator → Conductor → Investor Why the role that got you here is often the very thing holding you back The real reason founders become bottlenecks (and how to fix it) How to diagnose your current stage in minutes What it actually takes to build a business that runs without you Key Takeaways: Growth requires identity shifts, not just better tactics. You don't scale by doing more—you scale by becoming someone different. Most founders get stuck in the Coordinator stage. You've built a team, but you're still holding everything together. If you step away, things break. True freedom begins at the Facilitator level. This is where your team starts to lead, not just execute. A real business exists at the Conductor stage. If it can't run without you, you don't own a business—you own a job. The Investor stage is a different game entirely. Your business becomes an asset, not your identity. Simple Self-Diagnostic: Take a day off → Do you lose income? (Operator) Take a week off → Are you still checking constantly? (Coordinator) Take a month off → Does the business survive? (Facilitator) Take 6 months off → Does it thrive? (Conductor) Practical Challenge: If you're feeling stuck, don't just “work harder.” Instead: Schedule a bold constraint. Put a 30-day break on your calendar 6–12 months from now. Then ask: What has to change between now and then for my business to survive without me? That question alone will start forcing the right evolution. Why This Matters: Whether you want to: Work less and enjoy life more Scale profitably Or eventually sell your company Your success depends on how far you move along this spectrum. Because buyers don't buy jobs. They buy businesses that don't depend on the owner. Next Steps: Take the TriMetric assessment to identify where you are across: Business Health Executive Performance Life Quality Then map your next move with clarity. What's Next Episode: The two leadership engines behind the Executive Performance System—and how to install them in your business.

Trans Masculinity and the Stewardship of Men's Work: A Guide

The Mythic Masculine

Play Episode Listen Later May 6, 2026 75:29


We have reached the final episode of the series:”Trans Men: In Their Own Words”.This conversation began with Episode #1, looking at the collective cultural moment with The Seed and the Soil. We explored how trans folk represent a trickster figure, troubling the psychic architecture of the binary many of us were raised with. We talked about the urge to ‘monster' the other, but we also looked at the history of how gender has been used as a tool of social control.In Episode #2, we moved past the intellect and into Stories of Transition. My guests shared the intimate vulnerability of their own journeys - the grief, joy and reckonings that bind us all in the search for a place in the Book of Life.And now in this final episode, Emmanuel, Kanoa, Lev, and Aliko move beyond individual stories to examine the architecture of men's work. We address the faultline currently trembling modern men's spaces: the tension between a masculinity fixed in biological certainty and one defined by collective stewardship.For men's work facilitators, this conversation serves as a guide for understanding how and why to consider including trans men, as well as the broader transition of men's work itself. We are tasked with moving from a narrow focus on ‘personal wellness' toward the regeneration of culture - calling forth a masculinity that is aware, regulated, and in service to thriving life.You can find the full guest bios & links to their work on the Series Page.I'd love to hear your comments & reflections below. Heads up, if you are a man seeking to explore the mythopoetic path, you are invited to check out The Archetypal Compass. This mini-guide is designed to help you navigate the internal archetypes of the soul, providing a map for those ready to move beyond personal inquiry and toward a more conscious stewardship of their lives and the world.Also, the next cohort of The Deep Masculine, my 3 month online journey for men begins May 19th. Join a mythic brotherhood aimed at repatterning your relationship to sex, soul and purpose.SHOW NOTES: 02:43 - The Faultline at the Mankind Project: Ian addresses the recent friction at the MKP 40th anniversary and how it exposed the tension between biological essentialism and the evolution of modern men's spaces.06:46 - The Code of Testosterone: Aliko challenges the definition of manhood, shifting the inquiry from physical genitalia to the codes and blueprints of masculine presence that trans men share with cis men.11:23 - The Shadow of the Phallus: Exploring how the presence of trans men acts as an accountability mirror for cis men, forcing a reckoning with the historical harm done to the feminine that many circles try to escape.13:50 - Restoring the Sacred Tapestry: Emmanuel discusses the eco-spiritual paradigm of men's work, moving beyond a one-size-fits-all manhood box into the authentic restoration of a sacred and divine masculinity.18:48 - The Responsibility of the Elder: A call to ensure that the wisdom, initiation, and depth of practice found in legacy spaces are made accessible across the entire masculine spectrum.21:42 - The Unique Messenger: Kanoa explains why the message of accountability lands differently when it comes from a man who has navigated the world perceived as a woman and survived the violence of the patriarchy.23:12 - Purity Myths and White Supremacy: How the hyper-focus on purity in affinity spaces mirrors white supremacist structures and why intersex folks are vital to breaking the patriarchal archetype.27:17 - Investigating the Fear: Lev reflects on the assumption of difference and invites cis men to look at where their fear of losing their masculinity actually originates.32:36 - Detaching from Biological Essentialism: A deep dive into the question of safety, identifying that patriarchy-not transness-is the root of violence in both men's and women's spaces.37:19 - The Seed and the Sword: Addressing the mythic dimension of anatomy and the responsibility of stewards to ask how they are using their sword to protect or to manipulate.46:36 - Activation in the Great Collapse: Emmanuel pivots from internal healing to the external harvest, asking what masculinity is called to bring to a world currently undergoing ecological and social breakdown.50:31 - The Facilitator's Tactical Guide: Emmanuel and Aliko offer a framework for conveners on self-inquiry, group reconciliation, and how to issue a transparent, sovereign invitation to trans men.55:46 - Relaxing into Enoughness: How decoupling biology from gender allows all men to step out of the rigid expectations of patriarchy and recognize their inherent value.1:06:48 - Reporting the Patriarchal Crime: Invoking bell hooks' vision from The Will to Change to reconsider male desire and heal the mental illness of patriarchal violence.1:13:46 - Embracing the Chaos: Final reflections on opening the circle to meet the collapsing structures of our time with a more diverse, loving, and whole masculinity.

We've been encouraged to embrace active listening. Sure. But we need to be genuine, not engaging in actions or behaviors that aren't ours.  It's not helpful to adopt gestures that we have been told to use, yet feel foreign to us.        Not only do you run the risk that I will see through your acting, but some of your focus will be devoted to the acting – not to the actual listening.        What should we do?        Of course, look at someone when they are speaking, but don't stare them down.         Of course, listen – with patience. With the right level of eagerness.         Yes, nod your head when you are understanding the point someone is making.  (Which is not necessarily the same as agreeing.) But don't fake it. Faking positive body language is similar to faking an apology. Neither is a good idea.

There's what your guests see at a retreat… And then there's everything happening behind the scenes. In this special edition of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail is joined by Alison and Erin (co-hosts of the Retreat Industry Forum) along with two of the Forum's featured panel presenters - Matt Quinones and Daesha Donze - to talk about the operational side of running successful retreats. You can have an incredible concept, a beautiful location, and a powerful transformation… But if your logistics and operations aren't dialed in, it will impact the entire experience. Matt and Daesha bring a powerful combination of expertise: Matt specializes in retreat logistics, coordination, and operations Daesha focuses on brand alignment, design, and experience curation Together, they help retreat leaders move from overwhelmed and reactive… to organized, intentional, and elevated. In this conversation, they break down: Why having a retreat coordinator is a game changer How logistics impact guest experience and retention The difference between a good retreat and a professionally run retreat Why seasoned retreat leaders invest in support How operations directly impact repeat business They'll also be diving deeper into these topics at the Retreat Industry Forum in Denver this May, where they'll be leading a panel workshop focused on retreat logistics, operations, and execution. If you want your retreats to run smoothly, feel elevated, and create raving fans - this episode is a must-listen. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why logistics and operations are critical to retreat success • The role of a retreat coordinator (and when you need one) • How behind-the-scenes execution impacts guest experience • Why seasoned retreat leaders invest in support teams • How to move from reactive to proactive retreat planning Key Takeaways Retreats Are Not Just Experiences - They're Operations A retreat is both: a transformational experience a logistical event And both need to be handled at a high level. A Retreat Coordinator Changes Everything Having someone dedicated to logistics allows you to: stay present as the leader focus on your attendees deliver your transformation Instead of managing problems behind the scenes. Guests Remember How Things Felt Even when issues arise (and they will), what matters is:  how they are handled. Strong operations = calm, professional experiences. Brand + Logistics Must Align It's not just about running smoothly. It's about creating an experience that reflects your brand, your promise, and your audience. Support Leads to Growth The more support you have, the more you can: scale your retreats improve your experience increase repeat bookings About the Retreat Industry Forum The Retreat Industry Forum brings together retreat leaders, venue owners, and industry professionals who are serious about building profitable and sustainable retreat businesses.
