This week we welcome author and clinical psychologist Dr. Mark McConville to The Hamilton Review Podcast! Dr. McConville discusses his must read book for parents entitled "Failure To Launch." McConville investigates the root causes of this problem: Why are modern kids “failing to launch” in ever-increasing numbers? The key, McConville has found, is that they are struggling with three critical skills that are necessary to make the transition from childhood to adulthood–finding a sense of purpose, developing administrative responsibility, and cultivating interdependence. In Failure to Launch, McConville breaks these down into achievable, accessible goals and offers a practical guide for the whole family, to help parents instill those skills in their young adults–and to get their kids into the real world, ready to start their lives. Enjoy this valuable conversation! Mark McConville Ph.D. is a Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Beachwood, Ohio, specializing in adult, adolescent, emerging adult, and family psychology. Dr. McConville is a senior faculty member at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland and has lectured and taught widely on the subjects of child development, parenting, and counseling methodology. His book Adolescence: Psychotherapy and the Emergent Self (Jossey-Bass, 1995) was awarded the 1995 Nevis Prize for Outstanding Contribution to Gestalt Therapy theory. He is the author of the Counseling Feedback Report, an innovative and widely used adolescent assessment tool, and is co-editor of The Heart of Development: Gestalt Approaches to Childhood and Adolescence, vols. I & II,(The Analytic Press, 2001). His latest book titled ‘Failure to Launch' which investigates the root causes of why modern kids are struggling to transition from childhood to adulthood was released in January 2020. In addition to his private clinical practice, Dr. McConville serves as Consulting Psychologist to Hathaway Brown School and University School, both in the Cleveland area.

Original Air Date: January 16, 2023 Lisa is joined by an incredibly important person in her life - Duey Freeman, a former professor at Naropa University (Lisa's alma mater) and founder of the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies and the Gestalt Equine Institute. Duey, a true “elder” (as he is described by many) and mentor in the field of attachment and human development, was Lisa's former graduate school professor and has been one the most instrumental professors in her career. (see below for Duey's full bio*) Get ready to learn about a new way to conceptualize the attachment process and human development- a theory that just may be a foundational piece of missing information in your work as a therapist, as well as how Duey uses equine therapy to re-heal attachment disruptions. This podcast isn't just for those that work for horses - this information is a must hear for everyone!  Here's what you'll hear in this episode …  An attachment and human development theory that is usable clinically when working with people - the Freeman Attachment Cycle (Lisa integrates this model into her Synergetic Play Therapy courses); The reason why we're always supporting clients in working through the first stages of development ("Is the world ok?" and "Am I ok?") whether we're working with a child that is 3 years old or 50 years old; What happens for a child when their attachment and developmental needs are not met;  How to bring instinct and intuition back into all our relationships and into all our therapeutic relationships; and How Duey's work with horses and equine therapy can give us greater understanding about our work in the playroom (plus you'll hear something amazing about what happens when a person is put on a horse and having them be moved by a horse...it's absolutely amazing!) This one will not only give you an amazing new lens from which to see your client work and how to become a therapist WITH your clients, but connect you to your own attachment and life experiences at a really deep level (...It might even bring tears to your eyes). *Duey Freeman is a sought after teacher, trainer, licensed therapist, and equine professional around the world. He has traveled to teach professionally in over 8 countries, has developed a practical attachment theory and human development theory that is taught to thousands of university students, has over 80,000 direct client hours, and co-founded both the Gestalt Equine Institute and the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies.

About Dr. Gail Post: "My experience as a Clinical Psychologist for over 35 years has given me a comprehensive understanding of general psychotherapeutic techniques, as well as expertise in several areas of specialization. This has included work in inpatient, outpatient, college counseling and medical settings along with research and supervision. My early training was influenced by both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, as well as a two-year post-graduate program at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland. These varied approaches, along with training in family and group therapy, have given me an appreciation of the need for flexibility and a careful assessment of each individual's unique needs. I also have an appointment as Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine." Dr. Gail Post's website Dr. Gail Post's blog

Lisa is joined by an incredibly important person in her life - Duey Freeman, a former professor at Naropa University (Lisa's alma mater) and founder of the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies and the Gestalt Equine Institute. Duey, a true “elder” (as he is described by many) and mentor in the field of attachment and human development, was Lisa's former graduate school professor and has been one the most instrumental professors in her career. (see below for Duey's full bio*) Get ready to learn about a new way to conceptualize the attachment process and human development- a theory that just may be a foundational piece of missing information in your work as a therapist, as well as how Duey uses equine therapy to re-heal attachment disruptions. This podcast isn't just for those that work for horses - this information is a must hear for everyone!  Here's what you'll hear in this episode …  An attachment and human development theory that is usable clinically when working with people - the Freeman Attachment Cycle (Lisa integrates this model into her Synergetic Play Therapy courses); The reason why we're always supporting clients in working through the first stages of development ("Is the world ok?" and "Am I ok?") whether we're working with a child that is 3 years old or 50 years old; What happens for a child when their attachment and developmental needs are not met;  How to bring instinct and intuition back into all our relationships and into all our therapeutic relationships; and How Duey's work with horses and equine therapy can give us greater understanding about our work in the playroom (plus you'll hear something amazing about what happens when a person is put on a horse and having them be moved by a horse...it's absolutely amazing!) This one will not only give you an amazing new lens from which to see your client work and how to become a therapist WITH your clients, but connect you to your own attachment and life experiences at a really deep level (...It might even bring tears to your eyes). *Duey Freeman is a sought after teacher, trainer, licensed therapist, and equine professional around the world.

With the current life where we experience constant pressure and stress, anxiety-driven behaviour patterns have become common. We often spend lots of energy complaining and finding faults in others. But what will happen if we try to control our responses to situations and try to act with optimism? Often easier said than done, the practice might sound difficult at first, but is not impossible. Today, we discuss with the world's guru of optimism, how to inculcate it in our life. [00:37] - About Lenny Ravich Lenny is the director of the Gestalt Institute in Israel. He is the co-founder of “Delivering Delight”. He is referred to as the world's guru in optimism. Lenny is the author of a book titled, “Everlasting Optimism”. He describes how he never had any goal except to be here. Lenny was an actor for some time in New York and later became interested in teaching. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tbcy/support

If you're a therapist, even if you're far from your practicum days, you can probably relate to the feeling of sitting in a session and being distracted by the thought of whether you're living up to the standard of a good therapist.And you've probably had a moment where you're sitting with a client or group and you heard something come out of your mouth and immediately thought, “That doesn't sound like something a good therapist would say.”Who is this mythical good therapist? What are their qualities and where do those ideas come from? When you think about that archetypal good therapist that you compare yourself to, is that therapist a blank slate?Does a good therapist take all the most challenging cases? Do they self-disclose? Do they diagnose and write treatment plans? Are they a quiet introvert? Do they have it all together? Nancy Jane Smith and I are talking through some of these questions today and how uncomfortable it can be when we sense we're going out of the “good therapist” box.Nancy Jane Smith, MSEd., LPC is a Licensed Professional Counselor trainer, and author specializing in high-functioning anxiety. Nancy completed her postgraduate training in Gestalt Therapy at the Gestalt Institute of Central Ohio and is a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown.She has over 20 years of working as a counselor and coach and most recently created Self Loyalty Schoo,l an audio-based program to help quiet high-functioning anxiety. Nancy has written 3 books with tips, lessons, and stories on reducing anxiety, most recently, The Happier Approach: Be Kind to Yourself, Feel Happier and Still Accomplish Your Goals. Listen to the full episode to hear: Why Nancy struggled to feel like a legit therapist How norms around self-disclosure are shifting and why Nancy is open about her own anxiety How different therapist subcultures influence the image of the good therapist and create new pressures Why Nancy regrets being too passive with early clients and why some therapists don't talk enough Why the good therapist isn't an effective therapist Learn more about Nancy Jane Smith: NancyJaneSmith.com The Happier Approach: Be Kind to Yourself, Feel Happier, and Still Accomplish Your Goals Learn more about Riva Stoudt: Into the Woods Counseling Instagram

Michael Gay who is a therapist joins Christine to discuss how we deal and heal from trauma.  He has his M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus in Transpersonal Psychology. Michael has worked in the field of counseling for the last 14 years as a guide, therapist, and trainer. He was a Wilderness Therapy guide for 6 years, leading and facilitating deep transformational work with teens, adults, and families in the mountains and high desert. He has also worked extensively in the field of addiction and recovery. He specializes in work with depression, groups, trauma, PTSD, grief, and families. In addition to his M.A., Michael completed a 3 year training at the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies, and continues to train at the Gestalt Equine Institute. As a therapist and facilitator, Michael uses experiential and body based methods. Many approaches to therapy and inner work stay at the intellectual and cognitive level, which rarely or slowly affect deep structural change. Engaging in more experiential and embodied work seems to bring the shifts people were unable to find in mainstream therapy.  You can learn more about Michael or reach out to him about working with him at https://www.michaelgaycounseling.com/

Moin Subhani is a Toronto-based psychotherapist who practices the Gestalt method. Moin likens the modality to emotional intelligence 101, an awareness of intra- and interpersonal truths. That inward/outward journey is one Moin knows well. ”Growing up in this society, especially as a Brown person, queer, it was hard for me to sit comfortably in my skin and love myself.”  His corporate career made the task doubly difficult. In a setting where the aggressive male stereotype is at best tolerated and at worst celebrated, any show of displeasure or vocalized anger by a person of color is generally deemed a threat to rigid roles and accepted strategies for overpowering challenges to the reigning authority.  Y'all know that when anger is shoved down, it corrupts from the inside out. The emotion continues to simmer until it boils over, often in the gut of subsequent generations––and isn't that what we're experiencing now as the world is made to examine past injustices in order to create a more equitable future for all?  Moin feels that Gestalt fosters a more thorough unlearning and rewiring process. In an age of accelerated global reckoning, where our anger is regularly misunderstood or aggressively disregarded, there's promise in reclaiming our anger as power with rather than power over.

From a very young age, Ellen Boeder had big questions about our collective connectivity and she wanted to fully understand the relationship with herself and with others.At the age of 14, in her first week of high school, she was introduced to a therapist who visited her health class, and it was then that she knew psychology (and personal growth) was the path for her.Fast forward to her first 'real' experience in the field, as a volunteer at a women's prison, Ellen taught creative writing to inmates as a form of therapy and healing. This was the very first time that she had experienced a group of people who were trying to piece their lives back together after immense traumas and hardship. The writing was an exercise in putting all the pieces back together. She recounts what an honor and privilege it was to be trusted and "let in" by these women to help transform their lives. And found a powerful life force watching these women pursue and accomplish amazing things from the darkest of places.Today, after nearly 20 years as a psychotherapist, Ellen is focused on helping women and couples via relationship therapy and couples coaching. Her core belief is that with adequate and effective support, the challenges we face in life can ultimately contribute to our evolution and growth—individually, and collectively.In this episode Ellen talks aboutHer path to helping others with their mental and emotional health, starting with her prison experienceHow all of us can begin to tap into our own feelings by slowing down, reflecting, and feeling safe in our own skinHow being curious can lead to deep impacts for yourself and for othersHow pain and adversity motivates us to change, and why being too comfortable will inhibit our growthWhy communication is the most challenging thing for our relationships to thrive, and how at our best we are all understanding one another only 13% of the time!Ellen's Bio:I pursue training in cutting edge, research based clinical methodologies, as well as the transpersonal practices of meditation, yoga, and energy work. I utilize experiential modalities and body-centered approaches, such as Gestalt and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which I find deeply enhances the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy. My theoretical stance is informed by family systems theory, attachment theory, and developmental neuroscience, in addition to my contemplative and transpersonal training and studies. Faculty member of The Relationship School Level 3 Trained in PACTSensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute Level 1 Training for Treating TraumaPrimary Therapist at La Luna Center, Boulder, COPrimary Therapist at Eating Disorder Center of DenverPost Graduate Training at the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies Master of Arts in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology, Naropa University 2003Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Wittenberg University, 1995Where you can find Ellen Boeder, MA, LPC:WebsiteThe Relationship SchoolYou can find out more about Owl & Key and the Strategic Planning for Life below:www.owlandkey.cowww.owlandkey.co/courselinktr.ee/owlandkeywww.instagram.com/owl_and_key/Get Started today!Get Started with Strategic Planning for Life todayBook your FREE call to learn more!

Hello H.tties! We are re-releasing an episode with Tony Himes that we recorded way back in November 2019. Tony is a Gestalt therapist and founder of the Arizona Gestalt Institute. Tony works with youth, adults and couples to help them find more ease and meaning in their lives. This episode is a worthwhile re-issue for several reasons. One, we believe that Tony's message of contact and interpersonal connection is a really important one in the era of Covid separation and alienation. And, two, this early episode became a bit of a model or template for what the podcast would become. We opened ourselves up to Tony as he led us - on air as it were - through a gestalt exercise that caused us to tear up and have some deep feels. That shared vulnerability and learning became the special sauce for this whole project. Tony completed his Master of Science degree in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy in 1992 from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Tony is currently an adjunct faculty member at Prescott College and he was an Associate Faculty member at the Gestalt Institute of Phoenix. Tony has been in private practice as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Prescott, AZ for the past 20 years. For 7 years Tony and his wife provided therapeutic foster care to teenage boys as a support to avoid incarceration. Stay tuned for a heartfelt and enlivening conversation that offers some real skills for engaging and connecting to live a richer life.

Michael Gay who is a therapist joins Christine to discuss how we deal and heal from trauma.  He has his M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus in Transpersonal Psychology. Michael has worked in the field of counseling for the last 14 years as a guide, therapist, and trainer. He was a Wilderness Therapy guide for 6 years, leading and facilitating deep transformational work with teens, adults, and families in the mountains and high desert. He has also worked extensively in the field of addiction and recovery. He specializes in work with depression, groups, trauma, PTSD, grief, and families. In addition to his M.A., Michael completed a 3 year training at the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies, and continues to train at the Gestalt Equine Institute. As a therapist and facilitator, Michael uses experiential and body based methods. Many approaches to therapy and inner work stay at the intellectual and cognitive level, which rarely or slowly affect deep structural change. Engaging in more experiential and embodied work seems to bring the shifts people were unable to find in mainstream therapy.  You can learn more about Michael or reach out to him about working with him at https://www.michaelgaycounseling.com/

Guest Introduction: This is Exploring the Seasons of Life podcast episode 22. I’m Cindy MacMillan and today’s guest is EDEN ALEX WINE.  Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life, a podcast for women with a big heart on a spiritual journey. Each week, join Cindy MacMillan as she interviews coaches, spiritual explorers and celebrants from all walks of life about beginnings, endings and the messy bits in-between. Self-love, well-being, and mindset are at the heart of our conversations because once you change the inside, the outside will begin to change as well.   If you are joining us for the first time, I am so happy you are here and thank you for listening. Today I have a very special guest for you. Eden Alex Wine is a lawyer turned mindset consultant.   As a mindset consultant, Eden helps reprogram her clients’ mindsets by aiding in the discovery and healing of outdated beliefs, opinions, and attitudes that they subconsciously have about themselves and the world around them.   A self-proclaimed reformed pessimist who has transformed her own mindset, Eden’s mission is to help her clients navigate their past experiences and limitations for the purpose of creating an extraordinary life that they love.   Eden will start her training this Fall with the Gestalt Institute of Toronto to begin the process of becoming a Registered Psychotherapist. Here’s a glimpse of our conversation: (3:34) But the truth is we are all here by design and we won a lottery to be here, you know, to win the genetic code, to even be in existence and have a human experience is blessing enough. So I challenge all of your listeners to at least surrender to the idea that they are perfectly where they need to be in every moment, as long as they're showing up and allowing those lessons to inform them about how to move forward. (6:14) But for me, I really wanted to push those boundaries of profession and kind of create something that really acts more of a life purpose than just a career. So I'm really following and creating for myself, something that is an extension of myself and my identity.  (10:51) A challenging season is really the fertile grounds of what it is that you are going to desire to be, or do or have in this life. So anything challenging that you go through actually serves a very integral purpose to your life because it paints the necessary contrast for you to even have the experience, be relatable to people in these specific ways. And I find those challenges often inform our passions. (13:55) So when we start comparing ourselves to others, we are actually taking ourselves out of our journey that we've committed to. And we are devaluing our worth and ourselves by saying, I'm not as far along as this person, when really it's like comparing apples and oranges, there really is no comparison. All of us are operating in our own lanes. And when you start focusing on your lane, that is when you continue to put one step in front of the other and you grow and you take the action steps and then you take the breaks that you need, and then you keep going.  (20:06) Meeting people where they are instead of like trying to get them to fit into some kind of mold. I think it creates a difference in the kinds of results that they receive, right. I'm not healing people. It's not my job to do that. I'm more so invited to guide them in their own personal healing of themselves.  (22:38) So in my legal proficiency, I am a drafter. And what that means is I am the person responsible for creating agreements to solidify the relationship between two or more people through words. So my deep passion for words really originated out of the process of drafting. And I came to realize how nuanced words are, how nuanced words are, and then when you take it one step further and you realize that the words that you're saying to yourself actually contribute to the beliefs and patterns and mindset that you have. It becomes a really beautiful nesting ground for you to dive there first, to start observing these words.  Resources Mentioned: Layla Martin Marisa Peer You can find Eden Alex Wine at: Website | Instagram | Facebook

Trauma comes in many forms which is why many people don't realize they have it. But the fact is, we all face trauma whether it's big or small. In this episode, I was joined by Michael Gay, a private practice therapist who specializes in depression, trauma, PTSD, and grief for families and groups.

The Third Epoch with Nanci Danison Nanci L. Danison, JD, makes her tenth appearance (fifth solo show) on other Outer Limits of Inner Truth to discuss the her vision in the afterlife of the Third Epoch – humanity’s last era of existence on earth. The initial stage of Nanci Danison’s Near Death Experience journey consisted of a step-by-step transition out of human constructs into a natural state of Energy Being with an extensive range of sensory and intellectual abilities. Stage two involved meeting other Energy Beings and sharing with them her just-passed human life, and recapturing her memories from her eons of life. At this stage she had access to the whole of Universal Knowledge. She observed the evolution of planet Earth in three epochs, the second of which is about to end. She then focused her attention on the answers to humans’ most basic metaphysical questions, such as: “Who is God? Who are we?” Immersion/merger into the Energy Beings, and forward progression toward rejoining the Source, was the third stage. The final stage reversed the transition from Energy state to human context and reentry into the body. Websites:  /  Nanci L. Danison, JD, recently retired from practicing law as a health lawyer in Ohio, having been in practice for 36 years, first with a prestigious, Midwestern, 270-attorney regional law firm, and then as a solo practitioner. She graduated from Morris Harvey College magna cum laude with a BA in Psychology and a BS in Biology/Chemistry. Her Doctorate in Jurisprudence is from The Ohio State University College of Law. Ms. Danison has for years been recognized by Martindale-Hubbell’s “Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers” as one of the top 5% of lawyers in the country. Prior to 1994, Nanci devoted her attention to developing a national reputation in the fields of Medicare fraud defense and general health law; served on the Boards of Directors of the National Kidney Foundation of Ohio, Inc. and the Gestalt Institute of Ohio; and represented the local Bar Association on TV interview segments on the Noon News for several years. Nanci now writes books and conducts workshops detailing her memories of an extensive afterlife experience following her death in March 1994. After that experience, Nanci left the security of her law firm and set up her own firm, earned her private pilot’s license, and became a licensed private detective. She continued her community service on the Boards of Directors of The Columbus Cancer Clinic and of National Church Residences. Her beyond death experience provided Nanci with the unique opportunity to view human life from the perspective of one who has transformed into a Being of Light, like the Beings of Light other near-death experiencers encounter. Nanci learned how to consciously manifest reality, hold multiple simultaneous levels of self-awarenesss, access Universal Knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, recognize and experience unconditional love, apply self-healing techniques, and utilize many other abilities natural to us all in our spiritual state. During her afterlife experience, she viewed the history of planet Earth and how religion developed and has been woven into the fabric of human evolution. Just at the moment when Nanci was to merge fully and finally into the Source/God, she decided to return to her body in order to bring back messages of hope and love, which are contained in her various works.

WATCH THE TV SHOW HERE: WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/REBECCALMAHAN AND REBECCA SOUNDS REVEILLE YOUTUBE CHANNEL PTSD? Anxiety? Codependency? Addiction? Mental Health Talk –pukka! Many people face anxiety, codependency, PTSD, and other things that the mind grapples with. Where does it come from and how can the symptoms be reduced, the cause removed, our well being made better? Often, assumptions are made about these different topics and that can hinder successful treatment. For example, when someone hears the word “codependency,” they might deduce it to their intimate or romantic relationship; however, it can also extend to family members or even objects such as food or work. This episode hands to you an extraordinary woman who candidly shared her own addiction recovery, the overcoming of childhood incest, and how she has dedicated her life to helping others overcome their challenges. Guest, Lori Golden, is passionate about helping both trauma and abuse survivors on their healing journey. Her work today is an outgrowth of her recovery from childhood incest and addictions. She has worked in the mental health profession since the seventies, earning her Master’s in Social Work from Hunter College in New York with later training at the Gestalt Institute. Eventually, she opened her own private practice. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she combines various therapies she has gained knowledge and experience in over the years in her practice. Lori does not limit herself to one modality of practice since her client’s needs vary. She believes there are many roads that lead to an individual’s healing. In her private practice, she works with individuals, couples and families in and out of recovery from drugs, alcohol, food, codependency, sex, and love addiction as well as people who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder resulting from trauma and abuse. A special group of trauma survivors centers on her work with burn survivors and caregivers. ' Her first book, My House of Lies, is a memoir about her addiction, recovery and overcoming childhood incest after thirty-seven years of amnesia. More significantly, her book reveals a remarkable journey to seek the truth, reclaim parts of herself that was lost to dissociation and addiction, and turn her own trauma and abuse into a passion to help others face their challenges. Lori inspires and motivates others to seek their truth and heal in her consulting and presentations. Excerpts from this episode: Rebecca: “The first thing I want to say is for anyone who is listening. If you have been apprehensive to talk to somebody and you want to talk confidentially because you're not at a position or haven't been in a position where you feel like you've wanted to admit to something, but you just kind of want to talk and see where this goes, Lori is there to assist you in your journey to make your life better.” Lori: “I reached the bottom in using drugs and at that point in my life my main drugs were… Valium {} and at that point it was Valium throughout the day and sleeping…” “I absolutely will talk with whoever it is that wants to share because part of my recovery is being able to give away this kind of experience to other people to help them in their journey” “I started increasingly getting symptoms of PTSD. Now, I had always had symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, but I medicated with sleeping pills.” Website: https://LoriGoldenAuthor.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyHouseofLies Twitter: https://twitter.com/LoriGoldenLCSW LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-golden Pinterest:https://www.pinterest.com/lorigoldenauthor/

In this episode of the Fully Integrated Leadership podcast I interview Michael McElhenie.  Michael is the founder and managing partner of Metatropia, an organization committed to the "human side of organizational life" and helping leaders navigate change in a complex world.  Michael received his doctorate in Organizational, Clinical and Experimental Psychology from the University of North Texas, and his Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Psychology from the University of Florida. He is a practicing licensed psychologist, a PCC-level coach, and a graduate of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland’s Organizational Systems and Development program. Michael and I talk about his lifelong pursuit of wisdom, how he aligns his work with his interests and passions, and how he helps organizations and governments deal with large-scale transformation in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world.  He shares his thoughts on the human brain and how his thinking about the brain has evolved from a fascination with the biological organ to now believing our brains exist in the space and energy around us.  He talks about the brain's need for validation and how we begin to overcome its more ancient habitual patterns.   We then shift into how Michael and his team at Metatropia work with organizations to help them evolve (he prefers to say organizations evolve instead of transform).  How do you set the conditions where all views are welcomed and where people align around a common interest of learning?  How do you avoid the common pitfalls that we run into when trying to drive systems change?  All of this and more is covered in this interview.   Michael has the rare ability to be confident about his point of view, based on his years of experience, while also deeply curious and creative in re-shaping his view given new information.  He is a provocative thinker and asks challenging questions that will reframe how you think about yourself, your organization, and the planet.

EPISODE PREVIEW: We hear a lot of buzz terms today: “lawnmower parenting”; “helicopter parenting”; or even “bubble wrap” parenting. At the route of these terms, the common theme is a parent-child relationship in which parents aren’t allowing their kids to think for themselves or develop a sense of self-confidence. In this episode of the Open Sky Wilderness Therapy podcast, counselor Jonathan Mitchell explains techniques parents can use to begin shifting out of the “helicopter parent” trap and help their children build confidence and resilience. GUEST PROFILES: Jonathan Mitchell, MA, LPC Jonathan is a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience serving adolescents, young adults, and families. He grew up in Wisconsin, earning his BS in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire in 2000. Instead of getting a job traditional to his field of study, Jonathan took to the outdoors to work with people. Over the next six years, he worked extensively in the wilderness therapy field, in roles such as field director and field manager. Inspired by the magic of the wilderness to motivate change, Jonathan returned to graduate school and earned a Master’s in Counseling. During this time, he worked as both a therapist at an intensive outpatient addiction treatment center for teens and a college math teacher. He has continued to expand his clinical training, earning a certificate in Gestalt Therapy from the Gestalt Institute of the Rockies in 2008. In 2009, he joined Open Sky as a Family Quest Therapist and is now a primary clinical therapist for adolescent boys. Jonathan’s areas of clinical expertise include oppositional defiance, adoption/attachment issues, treatment resistance, navigating non-traditional and complex family systems, substance abuse and addiction, depression, anxiety, and trauma. His clinical approach draws on the teachings of dialectical behavioral therapy, Gestalt therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and years of experience as a field guide. As a therapist, he is appreciated for his pleasant and direct nature, intuitive connection with clients, and knack for working with defiant and strongly guarded adolescents. When not working at Open Sky, Jonathan can be found exploring the Southwest: rock climbing, trail running, and telemark skiing. He has traveled extensively in India, and his daily meditation and yoga practices are core parts of his life. A Green Bay native, Jonathan is an avid Packers fan.   TOPICS COVERED: Wilderness Therapy, coping skills, emotional and spiritual growth, self-confidence, emotional support, healing, young adults, recovery support, empowerment, destructive relationships, substance use, personal trauma, family dynamics, oppositional defiance, adoption/attachment issues, treatment resistance, navigating non-traditional and complex family systems, substance abuse, substance addiction, depression, anxiety

Corey has been storytelling for two decades since he graduated from Millikin University with a BFA in theatre in 1996. His epiphany moment in storytelling came after he played the lead in a show at Millikin called “Jeffrey.” Three months after the show closed, Corey was called by a theatre 90 minutes away who was putting on the same show, but whose lead had fallen ill. Corey was asked to drive down immediately, block out the play that afternoon with their actors, and put on the show that evening. With the help of his previous director, Corey performed the leading role, on stage for the entire two-hour show, in front of 300 people that night. He was never afraid of taking the big swing again.Working in Los Angeles for a decade, Corey was the face and voice behind a dozen Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 brands as a commercial and voiceover actor (his work won Belding, Addy, Cannes, and London International Advertising awards), before working as a film producer and director, as an author and award-winning publisher, and now as the founder and president of Round Table Companies.Check out Corey’s TEDx talk, Vulnerability is Sexy and keep an eye out for Corey's HERMES and ADDY award winning short documentary by the same name.Corey is the co-author of numerous books, including Edge! A Leadership Story (Finalist 2008 National Best Books Awards) and From the Barrio to the Board Room (Finalist, 2012 International Book Award) and its companion comic book Mi Barrio (Winner, 2011 Independent Publisher Book Awards; Winner Best Graphic Novel, 2012 International Latino Book Awards), which are being used around the country in schools and youth prisons to inspire at-risk youth. Corey's projects have been profiled or showcased in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Inc., Barrons, Wired, USA Today, and on NPR and Bloomberg TV.Corey is a member of the The Young Entrepreneur’s Council, the Stagen Integral Leadership Academy (Black Belt award recipient for Leadership), and is a sponsor of Conscious Capitalism and Social Venture Network. Corey is also a recent participant in the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland’s 18-month GTP program and now works with the Institute on programming for leaders. He is a frequent speaker and facilitator; his passion is using storytelling to create epiphany experiences and identity shift in people and organizations. Check out where Corey will be this year.

When you think about how you view yourself, your inner world...what comes to mind? Is it compassion, kindness, self-love, and contentment...or do things like, self-criticism, shame, broken, and hopeless come to mind? For so many. those positive views seem like a pipe dream; something we wish we could do but yet never feel like are achievable because of the past. We see others who exhibit those qualities, or we think that they do, and that leads to even more shame, blame, and resistance to change because "we could never be like that, we're too broken". How you view yourself, your inner world has a profound influence your life as a whole, and how you see others. Your romantic relationships, your job, friends, even what you do for fun can all be influenced by our view of what we're capable of and what we think we are worthy of trying to achieve. Beth Rogerson has dedicated her life to helping others see their true inner self with a different lens. A lens that allows you view your inner world differently, giving you opportunities to not become overwhelmed by the emotions that flood your mind and your life on a daily basis. Beth has a Ph.D. in Counseling and is licensed in the United States as a Marriage and Family Therapist and Counselor, and has completed training with The Center of Self Leadership with Internal Family Systems therapy, and the Gestalt Institute in Cleveland, Ohio.  Residing  in Stockholm, Sweden,for most of the year, she provides individual and couples counseling services over a video-conferencing service as well as in person. She's also the creator of her own incredible podcast, The Therapy Spot, which is dedicated to people like you who want to help your Self and live a better, more balanced life.  I had the privilege of being on The Therapy Spot podcast in April of 2018, discussing Anxiety and Trauma Recovery. During her time on Beyond Your Past, Beth and I discuss the Internal Family Systems model, which was developed by Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D (1995), which describes your inner world as being like a family.  It's a gentle kinder view of your inside world.  A new frontier for you to know your self differently, and connecting kindly with respect toward yourself  from the inside out. The basic idea is that we have a family of parts inside of us as well as an abundance or self energy.   Self is best described in qualities.  It has the qualities of Calm Curious Compassionate Clarity Confidence Connection Courageous and Creative. The 8 C’s   We all have them within us, but they can get blocked when our parts take over and we feel, act, or react only from a part or parts of ourselves.   Beth sees the Internal Family Systems model of therapy really as a lens we can all have.  It is like putting on a new pair of glasses and not even knowing you couldn’t see until you see better. I want others to have this lens.  It is not a secret.   The IFS lens of viewing our own personality is that we are multiple in how we think and feel and all these different ways of thinking and feeling are different aspects or parts of ourselves. The nature of our personality is to have different parts with our Self as the leader of our system, however, problems happen when one parts gets to strong or large and hijacks our system and we have a dictator.   We talk more about the Internal Family Systems model and how the IFS approach to personal development teaches you how to cultivate your Self Qualities for greater happiness.The 8 Self qualities are: Calm Compassion Curiosity Courage Creativity Connection Confidence Clarity We cover these 8 qualities, the IFS model, and much more, so be sure and check out the show and also don't forget to subscribe and leave a review! -Matthew Pappas, CLC Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sPH8pMZ)

Join me for an exciting, informative show on July 16 with Cyndy Sheldon, Gestalt therapist, to explore this question. The word Gestalt means "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". This implies that the whole has an essence, which we can sense and feel if we are tuned into it. Becoming aware of our essence leads to balance and harmony. We will discuss how Tarot and Gestalt therapy have a lot in common to help you become more aware of the essence of who you are. My guest, Cyndy Sheldon, co-founded the Gestalt Institute in San Francisco,and is one of the first pioneers in practicing, teaching and writing about Gestalt therapy in hw 1960s. She is author of the book, Gestalt as a Way of Life. Cyndy uses Gestalt around issues such as *Anxiety and Depression, Transitions, Trauma, Relationship Issues, Spiritual Understanding, Work & Money Issues Judyth looks at Tarot as a healing and empowering tool whereby you learn how to steer your present situation in a direction that offers alternatives for a satisfying future. A Tarot reading with Judyth can help you learn how to clear confusion, discover new perspectives and identify outdated patterns. Her readings reveal positive solutions and suggest conscious actions towards self-empowerment. Judyth believes an outside objective perspective will help to clarity your situation and offer new alternatives. She calls it getting off the “hamster wheel of indecision.” Sign up for Judyth's monthly newsletter here: http://judythsult.com/newsletter/ . She can be reached at Judyth@JudythSult.com.
