Ep. 188 (Part 2 of 2) | Dr. Sally Adnams Jones has pioneered the field of art therapy as an agent of transformation and healing, choosing to work particularly with people living with no economic infrastructure: refugees, and victims of natural disasters, genocide, war, pandemics, and more. What Sally has found is that creating art within a community works miracles for the dispossessed and traumatized, in that it provides an embodied, practical method of engendering feelings of pride, a sense of belonging, finding one's voice, and perceiving the future as something one can affect and shape. In fact, this work is applicable to everyone everywhere—it is in accessing our creativity that we come to ask, “How do we start to build the world we need?” An Integral Taoist, Sally shares her perspective on the yin and yang of creativity, explaining that ultimately, creativity is emergence working through the human body.At the heart of Integral Taoism is an understanding that the nature of emergence itself is to become aware of your polarity and integrate it. The more you do that, the more creative you become. The discussion transitions from the dance of polarity in creativity to how the polarities of yin and yang are playing out in politics today. Sally is a Canadian therapist and exceptionally well informed about politics—here we gain a perspective on current U.S. – Canadian relations and world politics that is revelatory.

On the night of Tisha B'Av, the Jewish people cried out of fear, not from a real threat, but from a perceived one. That night became a tragic turning point in our history, not because of a divine punishment, but because fear itself became the seed of generations of sorrow.This class explores the deeper meaning of those "vain tears" through Torah, psychology, and metaphor. From the self-fulfilling prophecy of the spies, to Harvard's famous "Rosenthal Experiment," to the chained circus elephant who forgot her strength, we see how fear and self-image can imprison entire generations.But we are no longer that generation. We are living in a time of healing and empowerment. This Tisha B'Av, we are called to rewrite the script. To cry no more. To rise with resolve. To finally break free and bring healing, light, and redemption to our world.Key Takeaways:Fear isn't always logical, but it's always powerful. Even miracles won't help if we don't believe in ourselves.Vain tears become real pain. When we cry over imagined powerlessness, we invite genuine suffering, because we surrender our G-d-given strength.We see ourselves as grasshoppers and so does the world. The way we perceive ourselves shapes how others treat us.Belief creates reality. Like elephants chained by false memories, we stay stuck not because we are weak, but because we think we are.This is the age of healing. We're not grasshoppers. We're not victims. We are a generation with tools, strength, and clarity. It's time to remember who we are.Tisha B'Av will be transformed. With courage, truth, and unity, even our day of weeping will become a day of joy, with the coming of Moshiach.#fear #healing #Jewish #Judaism #shlach #TorahPortion #Torah #TorahLessons #Bible #BibleStudy #TishaBav #Spirituality #Moshiach #Spiritual #lubavitch #RabbiWisdom Support US and Win BIG www.ndgraffle.comSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Send us a textDiscover the power of equine therapy through the eyes of specialist Erin Cain, founder of Grace Reins Equine Therapy in Colorado. When words fall short in traditional therapy settings, horses step in as powerful healers for children struggling with anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation.The science behind this approach is fascinating. Horses, with heart rates half that of humans despite their massive size, naturally help children downregulate their nervous systems through a mirroring effect. This physiological connection creates a safe space for emotional processing that bypasses the need for verbal expression. For children who find traditional therapy settings intimidating or ineffective, the barn becomes a sanctuary where healing happens through movement, trust, and connection.What makes Erin's program particularly special is her work with rescued wild mustangs. These magnificent animals bring their own stories of resilience and recovery to the therapeutic relationship, creating powerful parallels for children who have experienced hardship. As children learn the mustangs' journeys from trauma to trust, they discover new narratives for their own lives. The program extends beyond individual therapy to support entire family systems and provide educator wellness sessions, recognizing that healing happens in community.Even without direct access to horses, parents and educators can incorporate elements of biophilia into daily routines. Simple practices like breath work, guided visualizations, and mindful movement help children build "cellular memory" of calm they can access anywhere. These techniques offer powerful tools for emotional regulation that complement traditional educational approaches.Ready to explore how equine therapy might benefit a child in your life?

As I share my insights, I emphasize the importance of embracing our feelings and experiences, particularly those related to anxiety, as natural visitors in our lives. The elegance of Rumi's words encourages us to welcome every emotion—joyous or sorrowful—as an essential part of our human experience.I begin by reciting Rumi's poem, which describes the human mind as a guest house with a variety of emotions that arrive each day. I reflect on how, often, our negative feelings linger longer and grip us tighter than the positive ones, a phenomenon I liken to Velcro versus Teflon. By being mindful of our mental states, we can consciously shift our perspective to recognize the joys that exist alongside our anxieties. This practice calls for an intentional effort to acknowledge both sides of our emotional spectrum.Throughout the discussion, I unpack Rumi's metaphor, exploring the idea that each emotion serves as a guide, urging us to engage with our experiences rather than resist them. I draw parallels between this concept and the therapeutic practices I share with clients. Our thoughts and feelings are not intrinsic to our identity; they are merely guests that we can treat with honor and curiosity. I highlight the pivotal moment when we choose to meet our anxieties without judgment, treating them neutrally to diminish their power over us. #anxiety #acceptance #rumi #theguesthouse #poetry #mindfulness #emotionalhealing #mentalhealth #ginaryan #anxietycoachespodcast #welcomingemotions #neutrality #trust #personalgrowth #anxietyrelief #anxietytips #acceptinganxiety #rumipoetry #mindfulnessforanxiety #poetrytherapy #emotionalacceptance #mentalwellnessjourney #anxietypodcast #ginaryancoaching #welcomingemotions #findingneutrality #trusttheprocess #personaldevelopmentjourney #theguesthousepoem #innerpeace

In this episode I'm joined by Jessica Tomich Sorci, LMFT - a Level 3 Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist, Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional, and the creator of “Mom Parts.” Jessica brings decades of experience in maternal mental health and introduces us to the profound concept of parts work within the context of motherhood. We explore how IFS offers a radically compassionate lens through which to understand maternal distress, not as pathology, but as a protective and adaptive system. Jessica shares how her own postpartum years “blasted apart her psychological infrastructure,” and how discovering IFS brought the structure and depth she needed, both personally and professionally. We talk about her groundbreaking book When Good Moms Feel Bad (forthcoming in 2026 from Hachette Balance), which helps mothers reconnect with their inner wisdom through compassion, creativity, and curiosity. From rage and reactivity to grief, shame, and intergenerational wounds, this conversation holds space for the full range of the emotional experiences of mothers. Connect with Jessica:

Join Stephen and Jake on the next episode of The ToosDay Crue as they welcome US Army Veteran and Entrepreneur Joe Meisch, the brilliant mind behind the innovative Temple Massager—a groundbreaking, drug-free, non-invasive Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapy device that's changing lives. After spending 14 years donating over 4,000 Temple Massagers globally to service members and veterans, Joe's invention is now undergoing a pre-clinical pilot study for treating TBI Chronic Tension Headaches and serving as a sleep aid. This patented device enhances efficiency by reducing the strain on neck, shoulder, and arm muscles typically used during self-massage, providing much-needed relief from: ✅ TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) ✅ Jaw Pain ✅ Tension Headaches ✅ Migraine Headaches ✅ Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) But that's not all. Through countless testimonials and corroborated feedback, Joe discovered that the Temple Massager helps alleviate anxiety and negative intrusive thoughts associated with past trauma. This “drug-free distractor” offers relief through a unique combination of cranial massage, acupressure, and aromatherapy, effectively redirecting the mind away from negative ruminations. In this episode, we'll discuss:
#164 - What healing power can be found in visiting sites of tragedy and suffering? For Dr. Chad Scott, dark tourism became an unexpected lifeline during his darkest days.When severe health issues led to a liver transplant, Dr. Scott discovered profound meaning and purpose by exploring places marked by historical tragedy. From standing in gas chambers at Auschwitz to witnessing the aftermath of atomic destruction in Hiroshima, these powerful experiences helped him process his own struggles with divorce, career setbacks, and chronic illness."When you're going through hell, keep going," became his mantra, borrowed from Churchill's famous words. Throughout our conversation, Chad reveals how confronting mortality at history's darkest sites paradoxically taught him to live with greater intention and purpose. The practice of "memento mori"—remembering one's mortality—isn't about dwelling in darkness, but using awareness of life's brevity to live more meaningfully.As a therapist with decades of experience, Chad brings unique professional insights to how dark tourism functions as a form of existential therapy. He explains that standing in places where countless people suffered and died doesn't leave you unchanged—it transforms you into someone with deeper compassion and greater resilience. These experiences, from Paris catacombs to plantation slavery museums, challenge visitors to connect with humanity's shared suffering while finding strength in storytelling and remembrance.Chad's journey culminated in his book "Beyond the Darkness: Transformative Journeys Through Dark Tourism," where he details how these profound experiences helped him overcome crippling anxiety and find purpose during his health crisis. His story reminds us that sometimes the path through personal darkness requires confronting humanity's darkest moments—not to wallow in despair, but to find the meaning that illuminates our way forward.Listen to discover how pushing beyond your comfort zone—whether through adventure or confronting difficult histories—might just transform your own life. What places have changed you? Where might you go to find yourself?To learn more about Dr. Chad Scott and Dark Tourism visit his website www.drchadscott.com.

When you deal with a chronic illness, it's easy to question God and wonder if He even sees you. Everyone around goes on with their lives while you are left struggling with how to live each day. This is exactly what today's storyteller, Sheryl Trawick, from our Fairhope, Alabama community, experienced after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder where her body was attacking her peripheral nervous system (the control center of her body's communication system). However, instead of staying stuck in her thoughts of despair, Sheryl decided to pour herself into God - seeking healing verses of Scripture to speak over her body. Through a whisper from the Lord, her faith began to shift, and a miracle of healing began to happen. This a story that is going to remind you of the power found in God's Word! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: - Scripture can serve as medicine for the soul as well as the body. - Peace is only found through the presence of God. - God is still in the business of performing miracles.

He is known online as Dr K and is the co-founder of Healthy Gamer, a mental health platform that provides content and coaching to help young people take control of their wellbeing and he's also the author of the bestselling book: How to Raise a Healthy Gamer: End Power Struggles, Break Bad Screen Habits, and Transform Your Relationship with Your Kids. One of the things I like the most about Alok is his competence and expertise in both western medical and eastern philosophies: he has both trained to be a monk in India and he has a Western medical degree and practices as a psychiatrist. During our conversation, you will learn: Why comfort might be the greatest threat to our mental health and how the brain and mind “rust” without regular use How technology is rewiring our attention and what ‘doom-scrolling' is really doing to our brains Why our emotional regulation is weakening and how simple acts like taking the stairs can recondition the mind The difference between the brain and the mind and why understanding this could transform how we approach mental illness Why meditation isn't a one-size-fits-all and how finding the right technique for your brain can make all the difference The true meaning and essence of happiness The link between ancient wisdom and modern psychiatry, and why you may be the only person that is truly qualified to heal your mind. Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to not only think differently, but to live differently, as well. Alok reminds us that healing doesn't always require a prescription or a therapist, but it does require courage, awareness and a willingness to face discomfort. Whether it's choosing to take the stairs, sitting in silence for five minutes or resisting the urge to reach for our phones, each of these seemingly small acts are actually powerful tools that can help us feel calm, connected and in control.
