Podcasts about family therapy program

This December, I want to feature some of my favorite interviews from this year.  The third episode I'm re-releasing is my conversation with IFS lead trainer Ann Sinko discussing legacy burdens.    This episode was a real treat to be able to sit with my IFS Level 1 lead trainer and talk with her about her speciality of legacy burdens.  In the episode Ann shares her history and relationship with IFS, how IFS is a constraint release model, what are legacy burdens, epigenetics, how to identify legacy burdens, adaption and LB's, covert vs. overt ways to get legacy burdens, the 9 rules of shame (used to be 8), and the steps to help address and release legacy burdens.   Ann is a senior trainer for the IFS institute and is a licensed marriage and family therapist. She was an adjunct professor at Central Connecticut State University in the Marriage and Family Therapy Program for 27 years.  Ann conducts continuing education workshops on legacy burdens and grief retreats in her private practice in Portland, Connecticut.    Ann Sinko Resources: IFS Online Circle Program: https://courses.ifs-institute.com/sales/ifs_c_irs035190_ifscircle_spring2023_homepage-619825 IFS Continuity Program: https://courses.ifs-institute.com/sales/ifs_irs035430_continuity_spring2023_ifsihomepage-627147   Natalie Deering Resources: Website: https://www.ndwellnessservices.com/ Email: ndwellness.services@therapysecure.com Call/Text: (859) 320-0865 Instagram: @nataliedeering   *If you like this episode, please follow, rate, and leave a review!*

In this episode, Terry discusses his experience initially being trained psychodynamically and psychoanalytically, but finding that it did not seem to be a good fit for the population whom he was working with, which were families in Chinatown in San Francisco, many of which were immigrants. He discussed how a training at the Mental Research Institute (MRI) had a profound impact on him when he heard the person teaching saying that people are not sick, they are stuck. The therapist's job is to help them get unstuck. Terry discusses the four elements that he feels are important to working with clients and families, which are related to the relationship, being humanistic in approach, understanding the client's cultural context, activating the clients' strengths, and the placebo effect, which is the client's belief that positive change is possible. We discussed the differences between the Brief Strategic MRI model and Jay Haley's Strategic Family Therapy model, and the 180 degree shift in solution. This is based on the idea that the attempted solution has become the problem. We discussed one example of a session Terry had written about, and how both the cultural competency and the MRI model came into play. The case involved a Vietnamese woman who was encouraged by her previous therapists to stop taking care of her sick father and instead individuate and take care of herself. She flatly rejected this idea. Terry understood the importance of certain roles in collectivists cultures. Instead of encouraging her to take care of herself more, he helped her to become more effective in caring for the father. He used different metaphors to step into the clients' worldview and shifted the system, which worked within the client's cultural context. The intervention was a success and the father and the client experienced great improvement. Terry discussed his approach called, Strength Based Culturally Informed Integrated Model, and how the two most important parts are adaptability and flexibility, and collaborating with your clients on creative interventions to disrupt the stuck cycle and generate new more effective solutions. Terry Soo-Hoo, PhD is currently professor at the California State University East Bay in the Marriage and Family Therapy Program, and was the Clinical Director of MRI in Palo Alto. He completed his Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and is Board Certified in Family and Couples Psychology (ABPP). Prior to university teaching he devoted over twenty years as a psychologist in Community Mental Health Services in San Francisco working with a diverse range of people with many different psychological problems. Terry's publications include topics on multi-cultural issues in psychotherapy and consultation, brief therapy and couples therapy. He has special interests in the area of innovative culturally relevant approaches to psychotherapy. He has also provided extensive presentations, training, supervision and consultation on these topics to agencies and other professionals in many countries around the world.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a diagnosis discussed frequently for families navigating the NICU. A family's personal journey can also cause strain on marriage and a change in family dynamics with siblings at home. We will be speaking about these important topics today with Kellie Wicklund and Jenny Limm. Kellie Wicklund is a licensed Psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, and is the Owner and Clinical Director of the Maternal Wellness Center. Kellie is certified by Postpartum Support International as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist. Her experience with both private and community clients has nurtured a passion in the area of reproductive health psychology — a specialty that acknowledges the complexity and trials of the developmental process of parenthood. Jenny is a marriage and family therapist, with specialization in sex therapy holding both a masters degree from Drexel University's Couple and Family Therapy Program and Widener University's Master of Education in Human Sexuality. She is currently a PhD candidate at Widener University to officially become a sex-doctor, as a clinical sexologist. Prior to this specialization in sex therapy, Jenny had extensive experience working with teens and families in crisis, as a lead clinician at a adolescent psychiatric hospital (both inpatient, and partial hospitalization programs), as well as lead therapist in family based services in Philadelphia. On this podcast episode: - Kelly and Jenny discuss Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, among NICU families, and what that actually means. - You will hear information about how to know if you are experiencing symptoms of PTSD. - Knowing the NICU experience is traumatic, as parents, we will find out how not to transfer that anxiety and feelings of trauma to our own children as they are babies and grow older. - With our personal story, we have always been very protective of Claire probably out of fear and just all that we have navigated through to help her feel successful. Kelly and Jenny will share what they tell parents to help them feel empowered to let go even a little bit. - We talk about siblings in a home with medically fragile children, and what that has looked like with families Kelly and Jenny have helped. - You will hear about how parents can include the child who does not have special needs. - We discuss how trauma can impact a marriage or partnership. - Kelly and Jenny share the signs that a family may need counseling.

Have you found love in the pandemic? Decided it was time to break things off with someone? Has the pandemic brought you and your partner closer together… or has it made your relationship more rocky?  The American Family Survey found in 2020 that 37 percent of married people reported that the pandemic has increased stress in their marriage. But on the flipside, that same survey found that 56 percent of those surveyed said the pandemic made them appreciate their partner more.  So how can we strengthen our romantic relationships during times of prolonged stress and trauma? And how do we navigate dating and starting new relationships?  MPR News guest host Twila Dang talks with a relationships and dating writer and a marriage and family therapist about navigating love during the pandemic.  Guests:  Lisa Bonos writes about dating and relationships for The Washington Post Steve Harris is a professor in the Couple and Family Therapy Program in the Department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota Yachao Li is an associate editor for the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships and an assistant professor of communication studies at the College of New Jersey Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.

Our self-concept is always relational, so how we see ourselves as little ones depends on those around us. Our brain adapts to what it understands as the best way for us to survive. Behaviors that we receive positive feedback for are maintained while those that generate criticism are suppressed. We grow up without a point of comparison, often making it difficult to identify any flaws in the ways we were molded. As a result, and without noticing it, many of us confine ourselves inside invisible walls that keep us stuck. And, until we recognize what's not working for us and begin to consider the alternatives, we remain inmates living in our own invisible prisons. In this episode, we have an eye-opening and soul-touching chat with Dr. Angela Huebner; psychotherapist, executive coach, writer, and speaker. Angela holds a BA in Psychology from the University of Nebraska, as well as an MA and Ph.D in Family Studies & Human Development from the University of Arizona. We met and bonded with Angela when the three of us were students together in our wonderful International Coaching Federation Certification Training Program, FastTrack Coach Academy. Angela has over 30 years of experience working in the mental health field as a professor, researcher, and in private practice. For 17 years, she was a tenured associate professor in the Department of Human Development's Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Virginia Tech University. Her work included teaching clinical and research courses, supervising graduate students in their clinical work, and publishing research related to military families and adjustment. Angela also has multiple mental health certifications; Internal Family Systems Therapist, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Tapping, Hypnosis, and Gottman Marriage Therapy, just to name a few. We had a deeply meaningful conversation about the invisible walls in our minds, including how to acknowledge and deal with them. Angela shared some brilliant insights on how our childhood experiences impact our lives without us noticing them. We spoke about our beliefs, the three planes of connection, intuition, the neural components of our emotions, and much more. Angela also described the difference between traditional therapy and coaching and asked an excellent question for our next guest. Some Questions We Ask:Where does one even start in trying to recognize that they're in this invisible prison in the first place? (10:48)What's the challenge for us in giving up our old beliefs? Why are we hanging on to them? (20:03)Can you speak about how your work allows us to step into other pieces of self or get in tune with other fragments of self like our intuition? (23:56)What do you recommend as a starting point for breaking down these invisible walls? (44:15)In This Episode, You Will Learn:How to recognize your invisible walls (10:54)Why it's hard to change beliefs that have seemingly served us well (19:42)The three planes of connection; self, source, and others (24:10)It is not about creating our vision; it is about remembering it (34:36)The gifts that come with getting our house in order and doing the work to sort out who we are (43:09)Resources:Angela J.

In this episode, Al interviews Dr. Joyce Baptist, a professor in the Couple and Family Therapy Program at Kansas State University, on the topic of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy (recorded 6-7-21). Dr. Baptist's current work focuses on examining the efficacy of clinical interventions to mitigate suffering from traumatic childhood events using EMDR. Dr. Baptist describes EMDR and shares how a therapist uses EMDR to work with their clients. Although EMDR is typically thought of as a therapy that is used for patients with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Dr. Baptist has conducted some very promising research on the use of EMDR for the treatment of depression. Learn more about Dr. Baptist by visiting her page on the Kansas State University website. You can learn more about EMDR by visiting the EMDR International Association website.

In this episode, Marisol talks about the significance of having a niche as it relates to getting more clients. Also, having a niche can improve your SEO results. For Marisol, she enjoys having sex therapy as her niche. We talk about her journey to becoming a sex therapist and advice for people who are venturing into this space. Later, we chat about the importance of outsourcing when it comes to saving time and money – plus, it can even make you money in the long run! Meet Marisol Westberg Hi, I am Dr. Westberg and I am a sex therapist and couple's counselor in Portland, OR. I am a board-certified sexologist (ACS), certified sex educator (AASECT), and a licensed couple's counselor (LMFT). I am a former Professor in the Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy Program at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. I coordinated the Sex Therapy Track and supervised students in their clinical training. I have offices in both Portland and Seattle but am doing only virtual sessions at the moment. Sex Therapy As A Niche Marisol says that the sex therapy niche landed on her lap rather than looking for it. It just started because she was teaching a course on sex therapy. Marisol had never done one case of sex therapy. Interestingly, she began teaching as she was starting out her private practice journey. As soon as she started to focus on sex therapy, her practice started to flourish. With a sex therapy niche, Marisol had a lot more people contacting her; she realized creating that niche was really a way to grow her practice. Sadly, there's a lot of stigma and shame and all that kind of stuff around the sex therapy niche. When we're training, or when we're going to school, they do teach us a minimal amount of what we should do with human sexuality. Most of the courses in person or online on sex therapy still continue to expand on the human sexuality piece. However, they don't really focus on the therapeutic part, like how we get people to move through their issues? Moving To Telehealth During Covid Marisol is a fan of the business side of things. She likes to expand on different aspects of her private practice. So when Covid hit, Marisol saw that everything was going to Zoom. So, it made business sense to stop paying rent. Marisol decided to cut her costs, leave the city, and live on a beach. If you do go out of the country, you save yourself from paying a lot of the income tax because the income you're getting is from a different country. It's $100,000 that you don't have to pay income taxes on. Making Sex Therapy Effective It is a complicated piece in sex therapy to address sexual desire. All the interventions presented out there are counter-therapeutic. Actually, it creates more of a problem. Sadly, the solution creates more of the problem. For example, some people with low sexual desire say you just have to push yourself more. They think you just have to find ways to increase your sexual desire and just go do it. The reality is that these solutions are mostly very gendered. Women are constantly pushing themselves to be more sexual. However, that's just not how desire works. When women push themselves, it creates trauma. In reality, a lack of sexual desire is affected by being tired and being stressed. To solve the problem, women should work on being less tired and less stressed. Women can light candles and do yoga. Slowly touching your partner will also help. Make sure there is nothing forceful going on. Outsourcing SEO Work Marisol saw a significant shift in the private practice world with outsourcing. She does all her own website design and social media. However, when she hired somebody to do the actual SEO stuff, that pulled her up in the search results. Some people are just straight out of school and haven't had a lot of time with their website. Yet, they are still number two in Google. There's a lot more to website work than some people can even imagine. A little money will go a long way when it comes to getting your website found. When running a business, it's important to recognize when you can bootstrap and when you can outsource. Sometimes, outsourcing will save you a lot of time and money. Plus, in the long run, it can even make you money!

Full Title: Purposeful Pain: A Comparison of BDSM Participants and Individuals who Engage in Non-Suicidal Self-InjuryAnyone who engages in consensual masochism has probably encountered someone with the bias that those of us who enjoy receiving pain are actually engaging in self-harm by proxy, or that we are reenacting some sort of trauma from our past. This may be true for some people, but as a masochist who has a history of non-suicidal self-injury and childhood (physical) abuse, I know that what motivates me to engage in masochistic activities differs from why I engage in self-injury. I do not engage in BDSM because I am trying to overcome a past trauma, or harbour some latent desire to be abused.I know that what I experience when I am cuffed to a cross is not the same as when I scratch (my NSSI behaviour of compulsion). My mental state is very different when I engage in either activity. However, the association between BDSM masochistic interest and non-suicidal self-injury exists and it is still something that I encounter in clinical settings, even with the recent changes to the Mental Health Bible. As I said in Episode 10, it is important that we, BDSM practitioners, participate in studies so that our experiences become a part of the research that will bring understanding to the medical field. We need to be the voice behind the narrative of what we are all about. In this episode, I have the pleasure to speak with Dr. Markie Twist from the University of Wisconsin-Stout about the results of their recent survey entitled "Differences between BDSM Participants and Individuals who Engage in Non-Suicidal Self-Injury". Dr. Twist was a co-principal investigator of this study, which set out to " …understand the similarities and differences between the motivations, relational experiences, childhood histories, and characteristics of individuals who engage in intense BDSM sensation play and those who do or have engaged in non-suicidal self-injury behaviour. Specifically, the research study aims to understand the reasons and motivations behind these behaviours, as well as the personality characteristics of those who engage in these behaviours." (from the Purpose and Background of the study) Dr. Markie, and their team, presented the findings last month at The Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality Conference (SSSS2016) in Phoenix, Arizona. I am including a link to the presentation slides, for those who are interested in reading more.During the show, we will be talking about what motivated Dr. Markie to research this topic, as well as the methodology used by the research team to demonstrate and evaluate the differences between consensual masochism and self-harm. Of course, we will also discuss the findings of the study, including how these groups (BDSM and NSSI) measured up against a normed group.Guest BioMarkie Louise Christianson Twist, Ph.D., is the Program Coordinator of the Graduate Certificate in Sex Therapy Program, and Associate Professor in the Human Development and Family Studies Department and Marriage and Family Therapy Program at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Dr. Twist is also an Affiliate of the Wisconsin HOPE (Harvesting Opportunities for Postsecondary Education) Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Markie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (IA, NV) and Mental Health Counselor (IA), American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor, and an American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists Certified Sexuality Educator.

Markie serves as the *Journal of Marital and Family Therapy* Virtual Issues Editor, and is an editorial board member for the *Journal of Feminist Family Therapy: An International Forum, Sexual and Relationship Therapy*, and the *Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy*. Dr. Twist’s research primarily focuses on: people whose sexual, gender, erotic, and relational orientations have been minoritized; professional mentoring and scholarly collaborative relationships; family and ecological sustainability; couple and family technology studies; and couple and family therapy technological practices.
