    Send us a textThe walls we build to protect ourselves from trauma can become our prisons. This powerful truth emerges as Dr. Charlie Powell returns to share groundbreaking developments with his "Healing Heroes: No Mind Left Behind" documentary, now evolving from a television series into a theatrical release scheduled for November 11th.Charlie takes us deep into the intricate relationship between PTSD and addiction, revealing how these conditions often share the same root causes. "Most cases of PTSD don't start in adulthood," he explains, sharing his personal revelation that despite decades in military service and trauma medicine, some of his most significant healing came from addressing a childhood near-drowning experience. This perspective shatters conventional understanding of trauma, suggesting that many of our adult struggles trace back to moments where life came at us "too fast, too much, and too soon."The conversation ventures into uncomfortable but vital territory as Charlie and Steve discuss how trauma survivors' silence impacts relationships. "The silence that you put your partner through," Steve notes, "may not seem like verbal abuse or trauma, but it is." Charlie takes this further with a provocative comparison: this withdrawal can be as damaging as infidelity, representing a loss of faith in the partner's ability to handle the truth of your experience.Most powerfully, Charlie shares his initial reluctance and eventual decision to make his personal story central to the documentary. "People think vulnerability is a weakness. It's not. It's a strength," he explains, challenging the stigma that keeps many first responders and veterans from seeking help. This vulnerability has already resonated deeply—the documentary's first trailer garnered an astounding 4 million views in just three and a half days.For anyone struggling with trauma's grip, this conversation offers not just insight but tangible hope. Charlie describes how interventions combining multiple healing modalities helped six veterans and first responders achieve transformative recovery in just ten days—freedom from both PTSD symptoms and associated addictions many had developed to cope. As Charlie puts it: "Challenge anybody out there—imagine the biggest accomplishments you've ever had in life and tell me which one was easy." Perhaps our greatest traumas, properly processed, can lead to our greatest growth.Ready to see trauma recovery differently?

    In today's episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies, we're diving into some of the common—yet often overlooked—stressors of pregnancy. We explore everything from hormonal changes and PMADs (Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders) to the profound life shifts that come with this transition. We also take a closer look at trauma-informed care: what it really means, how trauma is defined, and how to effectively communicate your needs to your care provider when it comes to support during birth. To have this conversation today with me on Yoga| Birth| Babies I have maternal health specialist Ja'Neen Jenkins. With a deep passion for supporting mothers through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, Ja'Neen integrates her expertise as a licensed mental health therapist, doula, and perinatal coach to provide compassionate, trauma-informed care. Ja'Neen holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, a Master's in Teaching from Louisiana College in Pineville, and a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of Louisiana at Monroe. She currently serves as the Clinical Supervisor at Jenkins Counseling Services, where she is committed to shaping the future of perinatal mental health care. In this episode, we talk about everything from birth debriefing and birth maps to nervous system regulation and how it influences the flow of labor. If you or someone you love is expecting, this episode is a must-listen. So often, people leave their birth experience feeling unsettled or disappointed. But as Ja'Neen and I discuss, the work done during pregnancy can significantly reduce the risk of birth trauma and postpartum mental health challenges.

    In this episode, we tackle the challenging but vital question: How can we support nervous system regulation when someone isn't in a safe environment? Drawing from Deb Dana's Polyvagal Theory expertise and current research, we explore practical strategies for both practitioners and individuals navigating unsafe circumstances.In this episode you'll learn:How to identify small touch points that can activate brief ventral vagal statesSpecific techniques practitioners & individuals can use to support clients/themselves in unsafe environmentsMicro-practices for self-regulation during ongoing stress or threatThree Takeaways:Even in unsafe environments, small "safety or regulating anchors" (objects, memories, connections) can provide crucial moments of regulation. The goal isn't permanent regulation in unsafe circumstances, but creating brief reminders that another state exists.Oftentimes the first step in healing is acknowledging the reality of one's situation, not minimizing or denying it. Whether you're a practitioner or the individual going through it, remember that your struggle makes sense, your survival responses make sense.Recognizing and savoring these micro-moments of "safe enough" builds neural pathways that support resilience over time.Resources/Citations:National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233"Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection" by Deb Dana"Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory" by Deb DanaLevine, P.

    Self-Leadership: The Roadmap to Healing, Hope, and Deeper Intimacy In this episode of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis reflect on Marianne's powerful experience presenting at the ITAP (International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals) Conference, where she introduced a healing-intensive approach combining Frazier's Dissociative Table and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Together, they explore the theme of self-leadership—what it means to take ownership of your healing journey and to navigate pain, trauma, and emotional disconnection with intention and insight. They dive into the importance of understanding our internal parts, drawing from Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems (IFS) and his concept of “No Bad Parts.” Listeners are guided to reflect on their emotional patterns, discover the unmet needs behind their actions, and learn how to respond to their emotions with compassion rather than reactivity. The conversation emphasizes that true self-leadership is not about perfection, but about authenticity, congruency, and ultimately, the ability to show up more fully in our most important relationships. Whether you're healing from betrayal, navigating relationship challenges, or seeking personal growth, this episode offers practical insights and encouragement to help you reconnect with yourself and others. Key Topics Covered: The role of self-leadership in trauma recovery and personal transformation Using the Dissociative Table and ART in a one-day intensive model Internal Family Systems and understanding our emotional “parts” The difference between insight and action in behavior change How trauma can lead to emotional reactivity and how to regulate it Why connection is the ultimate goal of healing and self-mastery The importance of giving yourself permission to pause and prioritize healing Resources Mentioned: Frazier's Dissociative Table Technique – A tool to identify internal parts and unresolved trauma Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – A trauma-informed approach for rapid emotional processing Internal Family Systems (IFS) by Richard Schwartz Book: No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey (reference to “Sharpen the Saw”) Loving-Kindness Meditation – A mindfulness practice focused on compassion for self and others Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – Insights on unmet needs and attachment ruptures in couples Quote from C.S. Lewis – “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.” Listener Takeaway: You don't have to be perfect to lead yourself well. Begin by noticing your patterns, asking what your emotions are trying to tell you, and taking small, intentional steps toward the connection and healing you deserve. Self-leadership is ultimately a journey toward becoming the kind of person who can love—and be loved—deeply.

True love isn't something the other person gives you; it's the emotion that you create inside yourself, with the other person simply as the catalyst.You'll discover: — Why the power to transform your relationships lives within you, not “out there” — How chasing love, approval, or control only deepens a sense of lack and insecurity — The surprising role of the “law of relativity” in how we experience connection and contrast — Why every trigger is really about the story you believe about yourself in that moment — How healing your relationship with yourself frees you to create authentic, loving relationshipsThis episode is for anyone ready to stop exhausting themselves trying to control others or circumstances—and instead become the author of their own experience. When you change your inner story, you change everything.If you're ready to stop blaming and start owning your power, this one's for you.–Connect with Deanna:Instagram: @deannaherrinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanna-herrin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedeannaherrinWebsite: http://www.deannaherrin.net

    Frank and Jonathan rate Andor's Season-2 finale a near-perfect 9/10, debate the brand-new Superman trailer, and break down Marvel's first Ironheart footage. They also react to Fortnite's glitchy AI Darth Vader and sit down with fantasy author Richard Sparks to explore his MMO-inspired series New Rock, New Role. If you crave deep-dive Star Wars analysis, fresh trailer reactions, and book recommendations, this episode is your ultimate geek catch-up. Timestamps & Topics Time Topic 00:00 Intro & episode roadmap 00:00:30 Richard Sparks teaser – New Rock, New Role 00:02:37 Capital Creative Showcase + listener feedback 00:03:41 Ironheart trailer analysis (Riri Williams, The Hood, Mephisto) 00:08:25 Tech vs. mysticism in Ironheart 00:10:00 Superman trailer deep-dive (Lois interview, DCU world-building) 00:17:21 Andor Season-2 spoiler review begins 00:25:40 Cassian meets K-2SO – humor & stakes 00:26:44 Trauma, sacrifice, and everyday rebels 00:29:24 Final ratings: Andor gets a 9/10 00:31:02 News flash: Jessica Jones, Punisher, Ralph Fiennes in Hunger Games 00:35:12 Avatar: The Last Airbender movie delay 00:38:48 Netflix's Gears of War movie & tone worries 00:42:43 Thor 5 rumor—Chris Hemsworth wants a darker tone 00:44:47 AI Darth Vader glitch in Fortnite — ethics & chaos 00:50:01 Feature interview: Author Richard Sparks 01:25:44 Around-the-network updates & Jonathan's watch-list 01:30:30 Weekly recommendations & sign-off   Key Takeaways Andor sets a new Star Wars benchmark with mature politics, everyday-hero focus, and a finale that bridges perfectly into Rogue One. Ironheart promises a scrappy, community-driven story that contrasts Tony Stark's privilege with Riri Williams' Chicago roots. The new Superman trailer revives the Christopher Reeve optimism while dropping viewers into a fully populated DCU. AI voice clones (like Fortnite's Darth Vader) are hype-worthy but need tighter safeguards before brands unleash them. Richard Sparks' New Rock series mixes MMO mechanics, 80s fantasy, and laugh-out-loud camaraderie—perfect for fans of Ready Player One and Willow. Memorable Quotes “Andor proves real rebellion relies on janitors jamming door locks, not just Jedi with lightsabers.” – Frank “Riri Williams is Iron Man if Tony grew up on the South Side and had to build a Mark I from junkyard scraps.” – Frank “AI Vader sounded amazing…until the Internet taught him four-letter words.” – Jonathan Call to Action Love the show?

    What does it mean to truly heal—and why do so many of us struggle to even begin? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I sit down with healer, author, and spiritual educator Devi Brown for a deeply moving conversation about grief, joy, trauma, and the slow, sacred process of coming back to yourself. We talk about how healing often starts in survival mode, why joy takes practice, and how performative self-help can block real transformation. Devi shares powerful insights on breathwork, somatic healing, feminine softness, and devotion as a path to lasting change. Whether you’re navigating burnout, craving stillness, or trying to reclaim your worth, this episode is an invitation to soften, to feel, and to begin again—with compassion and intention. What We Discuss: 00:00 Intro 01:24 Writing about grief and joy 02:32 The Deep Connection Between Self-Worth and Joy 05:12 Joy Is a Choice You Make Every Day 07:14 How to Start Healing When You're Still in Survival Mode 11:37 Learning Without Action Builds the Ego 12:46 Devotion Starts When You See Yourself as Sacred 18:23 Why You’re Still Hurting After “Doing the Work” 22:47 You Can’t Heal If You’re Always Saving Others 24:48 What Are Mudras and Why Are They So Powerful? 34:45 Why the 'Girl Boss' era left women disconnected 38:13 Breath is your anchor in hard moments 45:36 Create beauty through your senses 48:03 What softness really means 50:57 Why “I Am” affirmations need to be personal 57:37 The real difference between wisdom and knowledge 01:01:26 A simple formula to discover your purpose Follow Devi Brown: https://www.devibrown.com/ https://www.instagram.com/devibrown/?hl=en https://youtube.com/@DeviBrownWell-Being https://www.linkedin.com/in/devibrown/ Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Power of Neurofeedback on Brain Health   What if the key to unlocking peak performance, healing trauma, and overcoming anxiety didn't lie in medication — but in rewiring your brain itself? In this episode of Richer Soul, we dive deep with Melissa Hergert, CEO of BrainTrain Centers, who went from being born in a homeless shelter to leading a growing mental wellness empire. Her story is a powerful testimony to the strength of mindset, the science of neurofeedback, and the journey from survival to abundance. Melissa reveals how neurofeedback therapy is changing lives — from kids with ADHD to veterans with PTSD, and even aging adults battling memory loss. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to take control of their mental fitness and unlock their full potential.   Key Takeaways: Neurofeedback Rewires, Not Just Reframes. It works on your brain's physical processing patterns, not just your thoughts — helping with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and more. Trauma, Nutrition, and Environment Are Root Causes. Many “disorders” are just symptoms of deeper issues like unresolved trauma or sugar-laden diets. AI Is the Future — Even in Therapy. Melissa is building AI-powered phone assistants to educate potential clients — showing that automation and empathy can co-exist. Healing Starts at Home. From what you feed your kids to the environment they grow up in, brain health starts with daily decisions.   Money Learning from Melissa: Melissa grew up thinking money was only for survival — you work, you pay bills, repeat. Abundance was never part of the equation. But today, she's rewiring not just her brain, but her financial beliefs. She's learned the importance of respecting money, building an emergency fund, and breaking the generational cycle of scarcity. Her biggest financial advice to young adults? Build good credit and remember: college is not the only path to success.   About Melissa Hergert: Melissa Hergert is the CEO and visionary behind BrainTrain Centers, a national leader in neurofeedback therapy and mental health. With a Master's in Addiction Counseling, Melissa blends clinical insight with entrepreneurial innovation. Her centers help children, veterans, professionals, and seniors achieve better brain function and emotional regulation. Melissa is also a speaker, wellness advocate, and devoted mom of two.   Key Discussion Points:  Why she started her business using a $4,000 student loan check. How operant conditioning via Netflix and sensors is changing therapy. What peak brain performance looks like for pro athletes like Tiger Woods. The role of heart rate variability and breathwork in mental clarity. When medication and neurofeedback work together, not apart. Why the first question she asks is about goals, not symptoms. What neuroplasticity really means — and how it changes lives. Why parents should skip the cereal and start kids on protein breakfasts. How she uses ChatGPT to explain complex science to her clients. Powerful stories of transformation: from non-verbal kids to adults reclaiming purpose.   Conclusion: Melissa Hergert proves that your past does not define your potential. Through science, strategy, and heart, she's helping people reprogram their brains — and their lives. Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, or someone looking to reclaim mental clarity, this episode offers hope, tools, and a roadmap to transformation.   Links: braintraincentersinc.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-hergert-022b1951/ https://www.instagram.com/braintraincentersceo/ https://www.facebook.com/melissaannehergert/   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

    We don't just eat to nourish our bodies—we eat to soothe, to cope, to connect. True healing begins when we ask: what is the hunger really for? In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Jillian Acosta, a registered dietitian who specializes in functional medicine, the psychology of eating, and trauma-informed care. Jillian is the founder of The Root Cause Method, where she blends nutritional therapy with psychedelic integration to help clients heal their relationship with food, emotions, and self—while uncovering the trauma often hidden beneath chronic health struggles. Drawing from her own lived experience with childhood food issues and disordered eating, Jillian shares how her personal healing journey shaped the innovative programs she leads today, including Wildflower and The Garden.

    In this episode, Tina chats with neuro-somatic trauma coach, Kymber Maulden where she discusses how chronic illness and trauma, particularly Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), affect women's health. Kymber explains the role of HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) in identifying stress patterns and the importance of addressing both physiological and psychological aspects for healing. She also explores how trauma impacts female metabolism and provides insights into practical steps for stress management and self-nourishment. Here's what you'll learn: - Could your chronic health issues actually be rooted in unresolved trauma? - What is C-PTSD and why so many women are living with it unknowingly - How childhood experiences (ACES) shape your stress response, metabolism, and long-term health - You may be stuck in a stress pattern and HTMA testing can show you exactly why - Hormonal imbalances in perimenopause are often less about age and more about safety - Surprising role of relationships in healing (sometimes more powerful than nutrition or supplements) - Why women's bodies respond differently to stress (and why conventional advice often backfires) - Where to start when nothing seems to work Join beta testing and test FREE workouts.

    Putting the Dollhouse Back Together: Beverly Armento on Trauma, Forgiveness, and Finding Voice

    “We spend so much of our life trying to put the pieces back in the dollhouse… the furniture changes, the people change.” — Beverly Jean Armento In this emotional episode of Uncorking a Story, Michael Carlon sits down with author and educator Beverly Jean Armento to discuss her powerful memoir, Seeing Eye Girl. Beverly reflects on a childhood marked by violence, secrecy, and trauma—and how the love of teachers, a resilient spirit, and the act of writing helped her reclaim her story. Now in her 80s and still writing, Beverly proves it's never too late to transform pain into purpose. Key Themes: The Broken Dollhouse as a Metaphor for Trauma: Beverly recounts a pivotal childhood moment—the night her family imploded—through the lens of a shattered dollhouse. That image would become a central metaphor for the chaos and damage wrought by familial dysfunction. The Silent Strength of “Strong Beverly”: For decades, Beverly coped with her trauma by compartmentalizing—presenting as competent and successful on the outside while suppressing her pain. It wasn't until much later that “Strong Beverly” made room for healing. Teachers as Lifelines: Beverly credits a string of devoted educators—her “angel teachers”—with being her saving grace. Each one provided a safe space, encouragement, and belief in her when her home life did not. The Power and Pain of Memoir Writing: It wasn't until retirement that Beverly began to write her story. Through guided prompts and emotional breakthroughs, she discovered that telling the truth—however painful—was both a burden and a liberation. The Essential Role of Forgiveness: Beverly's decision to forgive her mother came during a profound therapy exercise involving her mother's ashes and a conversation between “little Beverly” and her imagined mother. That moment lifted a lifelong weight. Legacy, Perspective, and the Late Blooming Artist: Beverly published Seeing Eye Girl at 81 and is already working on a follow-up. With age came perspective, and with perspective came compassion—for herself, her parents, and her past. Trauma is Timeless—So is Hope: While her story takes place decades ago, the issues of abuse, resilience, and the search for meaning remain relevant. Her memoir speaks not only for herself but for anyone who has grown up in chaos and fought their way to clarity.

    What happens when your body feels more than your mind can make sense of?In this deeply grounding episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth and Jennifer open up a necessary and often overlooked conversation about peak somatic experiences—powerful moments of healing that happen in the body, not the mind. Whether you're drawn to psychedelics, breathwork, or trauma release exercises, this episode unpacks the neurobiological, emotional, and spiritual layers of somatic breakthroughs. But more importantly, it's a cautionary tale: for those with chronic dissociation or unresolved trauma, these experiences can be overwhelming or even destabilizing if approached without preparation, interoceptive training, and long-term integration. Through the lens of Neurosomatic Intelligence (NSI), you'll learn how peak somatic experiences interact with neuroplasticity, the default mode network, implicit memory, and emotional patterning. Jennifer and Elisabeth share their personal journeys and offer practical tools to build capacity, safety, and support before—and after—these experiences. Whether you've already walked this path or are considering it, this episode will help you explore the power and risks of embodiment with reverence, curiosity, and care. Topics discussed in this episode: What defines a peak somatic experience through the NSI lens The science behind psychedelics, neuroplasticity, and the 5HT2A receptor Why preparation is more than a checklist—it's a relationship with your body The role of the default mode network in identity, emotion, and trauma Emotional breakthroughs: what they are and what they're not How dissociation impacts your ability to benefit from embodiment work Why "purging" trauma isn't the goal—and what to do instead The risks of somatic experiences for trauma survivors without proper resourcing Real-life stories of dysregulation and recovery after peak experiences Building interoceptive awareness and emotional processing capacity Why integration is the true work of healing—not the experience itself Rethinking psychedelics as collective healing, not just personal growth   Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join our Trauma Rewired Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

    For episode 193, Elia Ayoub is joined by Amos Goldberg, Professor of Holocaust History at the Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Goldberg is among the most vocal Israeli historians of the Holocaust to have called Israel's actions in Gaza genocide. In 2024, he wrote a paper for the Journal of Genocide Research exploring how the question of ‘intent' is used in discussions around genocides, including the Gaza one. They also get into how genocide is often preceded by claims of self-defense. The combined two-parter episode is already available on our Patreon for free.

    Why do we keep drinking even when we know it's hurting us? For Sammie, the answer lay beneath the surface—in the pain she hadn't faced. Her story shows how unresolved trauma leads to drinking and how ignoring what hurts often feels safer than healing. Until it doesn't. In this episode, she opens up about what it took to stop numbing and start living fully. In this raw and real conversation, Annie and Sammie unpack how unresolved trauma leads to drinking and what it means to finally feel your feelings without fear. From parenting through grief to starting over at 49, Sammie's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to break old cycles. In this episode, Annie and Sammie discuss: Early alcohol exposure and teen drinking Losing both parents in 19 days Why drinking became her emotional escape What grief looked like in real life What made her stop for good The power of The PATH and the community Experiencing her first alcohol-free festivals Using nursing experience to help others detox safely Finding meaning in coaching and service How unresolved trauma shows up in everyday choices Why it's never too late to change And other topics… Episode links: Sammie's Sober Heroes - https://www.sammiessoberheroes.com/Start reading This Naked Mind - https://thisnakedmind.com/bookJoin The Path - https://go.tnmprograms.com/the-path-from-this-naked-mind
