"With Kristi [second analyst], it was much, much deeper. This whole dependent and infantile part of me was coming out. This is psychoanalytic language - I was moving into a regression that was terrifying, because I had been trained by my mother, and it was my nature, and it was what had worked for me to really approach things as an 'independent person' ie I don't need anybody; I don't need anything; I can function whatever happens. While I explored a little bit of that with Lane [first analyst], it was only very slight, and we never talked about it. With Kristi, she would actually make me aware of it, and I would become aware of my own need for her and withdraw. With Kristi, it was immediate that I knew there was much greater complexity going on, a level of complexity that I couldn't have handled in my 20s. And we locked horns almost immediately." Episode Description: We begin with describing the various psychotherapy journeys that individuals undergo in search of healing. In her memoir, Joan describes two intense yet fundamentally different psychoanalyses at different points in her life. The first analysis was focused on uncovering the unrecognized story of her early family life. The second demonstrated how she was unknowingly replaying that family life in her relationship with her analyst, "I was reliving my whole childhood in our relationship." She came to recognize the "unacknowledged parts of myself" that her analyst "coaxed from its psychic den." She invites us into the frenetic 'regressive' periods where she both desperately craved the affections of her analyst and simultaneously refused to accept the care that was being offered. Multiple episodes of rupture and repair led her to come to terms with the human condition, both her own and her analysts. She closes with "As minutely as I've described these two analyses, I feel as if I've left half unsaid. And yet, as Kristi might say, it's enough."   Our Guest: Joan K. Peters, PhD, is a Professor Emeritus of Literature and Writing at California State University at California. She is the author most recently of Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. At last year's meeting of The American Psychoanalytic Association, she gave a talk on memoir and psychoanalysis, and in the upcoming one, her book will be the subject of a panel discussion. In addition to her blog for Psychology Today, she's contributed an essay on dream interpretation for Psychoanalytic Inquiry, and is guest editing a special issue of that same journal on "The Patient Experience."   Recommended Readings: Patient Narratives – an annotated list  The Classics These few analysands who wrote (later on) about their analyses in the 1930's – 1950's offer brief and impressionistic overviews:   H.D.'s Tribute to Freud (New Directions, New York: 1956).   Nini Herman, My Kleinian Home: A Journey Through Four Psychotherapies (Free Association Books, London: 1988)   Margaret I.

Advisory: This episode includes sensitive discussion about addiction, family estrangement, and emotional loss.This week on Fostering Change, host Rob Scheer welcomes back two dear friends — Julie and David Bulitt — for one of the most personal and moving conversations of the season.

In this conversation, Justina explores the complexities of desire, acceptance, and the emotional journey of navigating what we want versus what we have. She emphasizes the importance of slowing down, grieving unmet desires, and recognizing the power in acceptance. Through understanding the stages of grief and the difference between grief and rumination, Justina encourages listeners to focus on what they can control and to embrace their unique journeys.TakeawaysThe answer to our desires often lies in understanding our resistance.Bypassing discomfort can lead to cognitive distortions.Success is a personal definition and can take many forms.Slowing down allows us to recognize misalignment in our lives.Grieving unmet desires is a natural and necessary process.Acceptance of what we cannot control opens up new possibilities.Rumination keeps us stuck, while grief allows for healing.We must focus on what we can control to regain our power.Our journeys are unique, and we should honor that.Letting go of attachment to outcomes can lead to greater fulfillment.Navigating Desire and AcceptanceThe Journey of Grief and Growth"What if it was simply with being?""Your journey is unique to you.""I trust that what is for me will come."Sound BitesChapters00:00Understanding the Desire for Change01:43The Importance of Slowing Down03:39Navigating Powerlessness and Acceptance05:25Grieving vs. Rumination07:24The Stages of Grief09:12Letting Go of Control10:30Opening Up to Possibility12:35Finding Your Unique Path14:43Embracing the Human Experience17:07The Illusion of Certainty18:52Choosing Acceptance and Trust

"I've never done something like this before." In this episode, I sit down with Jami Nelson, a mother, grandmother, and lifelong nurturer who has spent more than three decades living with the loss of her son, Dov Ber, who died of SIDS as an infant. Speaking publicly for the first time, Jami opens up about what she remembers most about that time, how she survived the early days of grief when support was scarce, and how her relationship with loss has evolved over the years. She shares what it was like to raise four children while carrying the memory of one who wasn't there, and how that experience shaped the way she later supported others through their own heartbreak. Together, we talk about: The quiet ways grief lingers through everyday life and motherhood The kind of help you keep going when your world has fallen apart What parents newly navigating loss need to hear from someone who's lived it How others can support someone who has had a loss This episode speaks about the ache that never fully fades, and the strength of mothers who carry their children's memories in their hearts, always. More about Jami Nelson: I live in Boynton Beach Florida for the past 6 years after living in Cedarhurst, New York where I raised 4 children, ages 40, 37, 35 and 31. I was a teacher, labor and postpartum doula, lifeguard/swim teacher and administrative assistant. I love cooking, reading, being in the pool and spending time with my husband, children, grandchildren and good friends. Jami has been married to her husband Jonathan for 42 years.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, I interview Super Coach Joshua Wenner on the importance of Grieving to becoming a healthy human.  We delve into our immense propensity to ignore, numb, or otherwise transcend our grief, and how that just makes the dragon bigger.  We get into some super easy tools to help us regulate our nervous system, such as 4-6 breathing, hands under the armpits, getting your run on, and other tools.  We talk about Joshua's history in personal development, and his personal history of grief, mostly as it relates to the loss of his brother.We talk about what it means to be an adult in today's society.  How it is that we take radical responsibility for our lives, and continue to admit our failures and course correct on the path to living fully.  This is a great interview full of wisdom and insight.  There's also a bit of post mortem on the concert I just put up.  Good stuff all around.  Enjoy.***********************I'm Geoff Eido.

In this heartfelt Q&A episode, we dive into the real, messy, and emotional parts of personal transformation. Rick answers listeners' most vulnerable questions about why knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it, how to handle unsupportive family members, what to do after a setback, and how to process the grief that comes with letting go of food as comfort. This conversation sheds light on the often-unspoken struggles behind genuine change—and offers compassionate, practical tools for moving through them.Important Points MentionedThe gap between knowing and doing — Understanding your behavior isn't enough; real change happens through emotional practice—learning to sit with discomfort without trying to fix it.Handling family sabotage — When loved ones undermine your progress, it's usually about their discomfort with your change. Setting calm, clear boundaries is key to protecting your growth.Recovering from setbacks — Slip-ups don't erase progress. They reveal what you need to strengthen next—your stress tools, emotional awareness, or support system.Grieving the loss of food as comfort — It's normal to feel sadness when letting go of emotional eating. Acknowledge the grief and replace food with new comfort rituals that nurture you.The myth of the “aha” moment — Transformation rarely happens all at once. It's built through hundreds of small, consistent choices that gradually reshape your relationship with food.Progress is nonlinear — The messy parts of transformation don't mean you're failing—they're signs that you're doing the real, deep work that leads to lasting change.Transformation isn't about perfection, it's about learning to stay with yourself through the discomfort. Every stumble, craving, and moment of doubt is part of the process. Keep showing up, keep practicing, and keep asking the real questions.

In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Tanya Flores, co-founder of Reproductive Loss Network . They discuss the profound impact of reproductive loss, including miscarriage, infertility, and abortion, and how these experiences can affect individuals physically, spiritually, and relationally. Tanya shares her personal journey and the importance of compassionate responses to those grieving. The conversation also highlights the need for Christ-centered counseling approaches and the significance of creating supportive environments within churches for those experiencing reproductive loss. Key Takeaways: Tanya's passion for helping others stems from her own experiences of reproductive loss. Reproductive loss encompasses miscarriage, abortion, infertility, and more. The grief associated with reproductive loss is often intangible and unseen. Physical health can deteriorate due to the stress of grief and loss. Spiritual challenges include questioning God's presence and care during loss. Relationships can be strained due to the ripple effect of reproductive loss. Unhelpful responses to grief often stem from discomfort with the topic. Compassionate responses include being present and offering support without platitudes. Christ-centered counseling emphasizes the importance of surrender and acceptance in grief. An eternal perspective helps individuals find hope and purpose beyond their loss.

Rosie speaks to Michelle Watson Rhodes, who shares the devastating story of losing her fiancé Mike to a sudden heart attack just six months before their planned wedding.Michelle and Mike's love story began during the stillness of lockdown, unfolding through long walks, shared breakfasts and the kind of everyday companionship that makes life feel steady. A quiet proposal by the river led to plans for a wedding in Jamaica until everything changed in a single night.Michelle reflects on the night she lost Mike, the desperate attempt at CPR and the unimaginable aftermath of being treated as a suspect, facing hostility from an estranged family and fighting to be recognised in her grief.She also shares how she holds onto Mike's legacy, the man who once saved a stranger's life and was honoured with an MBE, while slowly rebuilding her world with quiet courage and small rituals that help her keep going.This conversation is about love interrupted, grief without recognition and the resilience it takes to keep moving forward when everything has changed.

Send us a textThere are two negatives and one positive action in our relationship with the Holy Spirit. We grieve the Spirit by living in sin and we quench the Spirit when we refuse the will of God. But walking by means of the Spirit brings life.This is a basic teaching that every follower of Jesus Christ must be grounded in as it affects our walk with Him.

Blending a family isn't just about making schedules work or learning each other's habits. It's about entering into an already-formed culture — one that existed before you. For the stepparent, that often means grieving what you imagined family life would look like, while choosing to restrain yourself from immediately reshaping the environment into “yours.”In this episode, Jason and Lauren Vallotton talk candidly about:Why grief is a normal and healthy part of the step-parenting journeyThe tension between honoring the existing family culture and slowly helping build a new oneThe unspoken expectations that every stepparent carries — and what to do with themWhy building a new “normal” takes years (Ron Deal says seven, and it often feels true!)Encouragement for couples to stay connected in the long process of blendingIf you're in the thick of a blended family dynamic, you are not crazy and you are not alone. Healing, belonging, and love can grow in the middle of the mess — but it takes time, patience, and a lot of grace.PatreonIf you've enjoyed this podcast, would you consider financially supporting the show?
