Podcasts about healing trauma

Today's guest is Nathalie Latham, photographer and film maker, based in Paris, until her life altering diagnosis of Stage 3 cervical cancer at age 39. During her therapy, she was stuck in bed for 7 days and nights and needed activity to focus her mind, so she began drawing. As she recovered, she kept drawing to remind herself that she was alive. These drawings are now part of her visual memoir I AM ALIVE: Creating Resilience and Healing Trauma through Art.We talk about brachytherapy radiation, the role of art in healing, accepting the past, how nature and spirituality helped her recover, embracing joy in the creative process, finding beauty in trauma, and so much more.This conversation was incredibly beautiful, as is Nathalie's work, and a perfect episode to end 2025 and prepare for a new year. Resources:Nathalie's website: www.nathalielatham.com You can find the link to her book hereNathalie's Blog: https://substack.com/@nathalielathamFollow:Follow me: https://www.instagram.com/melissagrosboll/My website: https://melissagrosboll.comEmail me: drmelissagrosboll@gmail.com

Discover how trauma can live in the body — and what happens when we finally listen.In this episode of Chatting with Betsy, I spoke with Mitch Webb, a holistic health and somatic coach who opened up about his powerful journey of healing. After facing a traumatic brain injury, Lyme disease, pre-diabetes, multiple COVID infections, a car accident, and burnout, Mitch realized his body had been trying to get his attention all along.We discussed how trauma lives in the body, how stress patterns show up in the nervous system, and how somatic coaching helped Mitch finally reconnect with his health. This conversation also made me reflect on my own caregiving experience and how I wish I had known about these tools back then. This is a heartfelt episode about healing, self-awareness, and the strength it takes to listen to your body when it's screaming for help.

Today, I'm sitting down with someone I've known for years and whose story moved me deeply. Mike Zeller joins me for a powerful, raw, and eye opening conversation about trauma, healing, nervous system regulation, and the life changing breakthroughs that helped save his wife, his marriage, and his family. Mike opens up about the traumatic season that began when his daughter was born.

For nearly two years, Mike lived in constant fight or flight trying to support her while feeling completely lost about how to help.

In this episode, we explore: Mike and his wife's powerful story and what was really happening beneath the surface How trauma hijacks the nervous system and why traditional tools weren't enough What Mike learned about somatic therapy, PTSD, and the subconscious mind How NAD therapy works and why so many people are deficient without realizing it The role psychedelics played in opening the nervous system for deep healing The importance of integration and nervous system support after a therapeutic journey Resources from this Episode: Find Mike on Instagram, YouTube, and more: @themikezeller Visit Jinfiniti and use the code RESTORE20 to get 20% off!

Jan Winhall is a psychotherapist, author, educator, and the developer of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model (FSPM), a groundbreaking framework that integrates trauma therapy, polyvagal theory, and embodied focusing to understand and treat addiction and trauma. Over more than four decades of clinical work, Jan has specialized in supporting survivors of sexual violence, complex trauma, and addiction with a deeply de-pathologizing, feminist, and body-based lens. She is the founder of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model Institute, teaches internationally, and collaborates closely with leaders in the polyvagal community to bring more compassionate, somatically grounded approaches into trauma and addiction treatment. In this powerful and deeply validating conversation, Clarissa and Molly sit down with trauma and addiction therapist Jan Winhall, creator of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model (FSPM). Jan weaves together feminist therapy, trauma theory, polyvagal theory, and embodied practice to completely reframe how we understand addictive behaviors like binging, purging, and compulsive eating: not as "problems" or "defects," but as adaptive state-regulation strategies that the body uses to survive overwhelming experiences. Jan shares how early work with incest survivors revealed the harms of pathologizing, top-down psychiatric approaches—and how safety, dignity, and deep listening became the foundation for her model. Together, we explore how nervous-system states, shame, trauma, ADHD, and body image intersect with ultra-processed food addiction, and how recovery becomes possible when we work with the body instead of against it. This episode is for clinicians, helpers, and anyone living with food addiction who has ever wondered: "What if nothing about me is broken—and my body has been trying to keep me alive all along?" In This Episode, We Explore: • Jan's Origins in Trauma Work o Running groups for young women who were incest survivors in a small Ontario hospital o Seeing firsthand the limitations and harm of traditional psychiatric models o How feminist therapy and the work of Judith Herman and Sandra Butler helped de-pathologize survivors   • From "What's Wrong With You?" to "What Happened to You?" o Why behaviors often labeled "manipulative" or "attention-seeking" (e.g., binging, purging, self-harm) are actually survival strategies o Understanding these behaviors as ways to regulate overwhelming nervous-system states, not moral failures   • The Felt Sense & Polyvagal Theory – Explained Accessibly o What "felt sense" really means (beyond just "sensation") o How neuroception constantly scans for safety and danger below conscious awareness o The three main autonomic states:  Ventral vagal – safety, connection, social engagement  Sympathetic – fight/flight, agitation, urgency  Dorsal vagal – shutdown, collapse, numbness, shame o How addictive behaviors help the body shift between these states to survive   • Addiction as a Trauma Feedback Loop o Why the body cannot stay in high sympathetic arousal or deep shutdown forever o How food, substances, sex, and other behaviors become "jolts" that move us between states o The idea of a "trauma feedback loop" where trauma, dysregulation, and addiction constantly reinforce each other   • Working with Trauma Without "Fishing" for It o Why Jan no longer goes "hunting" for trauma stories o The importance of Phase 1 work: establishing safety before uncovering trauma o How to help people gently reconnect with the body (starting at the edges: fingertips, earlobes, etc.) before approaching the more overwhelming inner experiences   • Shame, Addiction, and Liberation o Why shame is so central to trauma and addiction—and why Jan actually loves working with it o Reframing shame: "This is what bodies do under threat; you are not uniquely broken." o How truly believing this (in our own bodies) changes how we show up for clients o Using groups, co-regulation, and shared stories to create "moments of liberation"   • Food & Sex Addiction, Early Trauma, and Access o Why food and sex are often the earliest available forms of self-soothing for children in unsafe environments o How early masturbation and secret eating can evolve into entrenched patterns over decades o The stigma that keeps men with food addiction silent and unseen   • ADHD, Neurodivergence & Addiction o How neurodivergent folks are especially vulnerable to regulation difficulties and shame o The clash between ADHD time perception and linear, "on-time" culture o The dopamine-driven ping-pong between shame (dorsal) and activation (sympathetic), and how this sets up classic addictive pathways o The "neuroplastic paradox" – getting stuck in ruts, and how intentional practice can build new pathways   • Body Image, Misogyny & Reclaiming the Body o Why so many clients experience their body as "the enemy" o How misogyny, hyper-masculinity, and purity culture shape body hatred and silence around food addiction o The role of our own relationship with our bodies as therapists and helpers—how we co-regulate clients through our presence, not just our words   • Receiving Love & Positive Feedback as a Trigger o Why compliments, affection, and warmth can feel more threatening than criticism for many addicted bodies o How to normalize this, slow it down, and help the nervous system "update" that it is safe enough now o Using group moments of discomfort as live material to work with neuroception and triggers   • Self-Disclosure, Accessibility & Doing Our Own Work o Why Jan believes safe, boundaried self-disclosure can create powerful safety o Steve Porges' idea that "the greatest gift you can give is your accessibility" o Why clinicians must apply these models to their own lives first, so that their belief in the body's wisdom is genuine   • Changing the Addiction Treatment Paradigm o The trauma of addiction treatment itself—shaming, punitive, expensive models o Jan's commitment to bringing compassionate, somatic, polyvagal-informed approaches into 12-step spaces and beyond o The importance of connecting communities (like Sweet Sobriety and FSPM) to shift the field together   Follow Jan and the FSPM Institute: https://www.fspminstitute.com The content of our show is educational only.

In this episode, Mardi Winder sits down with Estefana Johnson, a seasoned mental health clinician and director of clinical training at Arise Alliance Institute, to explore the complex connections between trauma, loss, and the process of healing. Through stories from her own unexpected path into behavioral health and clear explanations, Estefana shares a perspective on trauma that centers on unresolved loss, whether it is the loss of agency, safety, hope, or meaningful relationships.Together, they discuss how trauma manifests when the brain cannot process challenging experiences and how people often find themselves stuck, responding to past pain rather than present reality. Estefana Johnson explains how this can create recurring patterns that shape responses to everyday situations, both at home and at work. She introduces listeners to Critical Memory Integration (CMI), an approach designed to guide individuals beyond managing symptoms toward real resolution by helping them understand the deeper signals their bodies and emotions send, and make sense of experiences that feel overwhelming or inaccessible.The conversation also explores the concept of generational trauma, or as Estefana Johnson prefers, "generational data," and how our bodies can inherit survival adaptations from previous generations. Listeners are encouraged to be compassionate with themselves, seek support when facing discomfort, and realize that the search for clarity and healing begins with honest self-inquiry. Estefana Johnson leaves us with a hopeful message: the power to move forward and heal is within each of us, waiting to be discovered.About the Guest:Estefana Johnson, LCSW, brings over 20 years of experience in trauma and mental health care. She began her career as a Behavioral Health Technician in 2001 and later taught in Japan before moving into roles in residential treatment, medical social work, and clinical leadership. As Director of Clinical Training at ARISE Alliance Institute, she develops and delivers curricula in trauma-focused care and interventions like Critical Memory Integration (CMI™), while also practicing clinically at Lighthouse Psychiatry & TMS in Gilbert, Arizona. Estefana is actively involved in research on therapeutic uses of psychedelics and is passionate about advancing innovative, healing-centered approaches.

Is forgiveness necessary or relevant when we are healing our trauma, our shadows, and our wounds? Do we need to forgive family members, or anyone who has hurt us in the past? In this episode, I discuss my own healing journey, and how forgiveness - though it was not on my radar at all, and was not something I strived for - somehow happened to me anyway. Is forgiveness necessary for your journey? I explain why or why not, and offer a perspective contrary to what we tend to see in a lot of pop psych woo woo spaces.

This month we're celebrating a huge milestone — 50 episodes of Punk Therapy! To mark the moment, we're bringing back one of our most loved conversations from 2023: our interview with the extraordinary Dr. Sharon Stanley.Sharon's work has been a significant influence on both of us over the years. Her somatic, relational, deeply human approach to healing has shaped so much of how we think about therapy — and continues to infuse the way we show up with our clients, our students, and our community. Revisiting this episode felt like the perfect way to honour where we've come from and where we're heading.And in some beautiful timing… this episode coincides with the release of a completed PhD from one of your hosts — a project exploring the meeting place of interpersonal neurobiology, somatics, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. It's work that has been simmering behind the scenes for years, and it's finally ready to be shared.If you're curious to read it or want to dive deeper into the ideas that quietly underpin many of our conversations, you're warmly invited to reach out:Email us at: doctort@punktherapy.comWe'll happily send you a copy.It feels special to celebrate 50 episodes by revisiting a conversation that has meant so much to us — and to pair it with the release of work that's been part of this podcast's DNA from the beginning.Thank you for being with us on this journey. Here's to many more episodes, many more conversations, and many more ways of exploring what it means to heal — together. —CW: Physical assault, trauma, and suicideDr. T and the Truth Fairy welcome Dr. Sharon Stanley - renowned psychotherapist, author, and developer of the psychotherapeutic model of somatic transformation - to the show. They have a searching and revealing conversation with Dr. Stanley about her career and the decades of work she has done with humans and trauma. Sharon Stanley describes her work as “relational to the core” and explains how her somatic work uses relationship to at times discern a particular technique. She shares the personal story of how she first became interested in trauma and how her study moved into the idea of somatic transformation from there. Dr. Stanley also names many foundational figures whom she has drawn insight from along the way.The discussion Dr. T and the Truth Fairy have with Sharon Stanley involve how Sharon keeps boundaries in the relationship formed through trauma bonding, what the intersubjective field is, and the six steps of somatic transformation. Sharon describes what ‘meaning making' encompasses and she invites Dr. T and Truth Fairy into a brief thematic reflection. This episode sheds light on how much Truth Fairy has learned from Dr. Stanley and why she has been mentioned so frequently on PUNK Therapy. It gives insight into her intentions and careful trauma healing methods.“When we do have an experience of going through something together, we can have an experience called trauma bonding. And the trauma bonding is a kind of an enmeshment where I feel what you feel, you feel what I feel. And we don't have clear boundaries. And that kind of leads me a little bit further into your question that working professionally with trauma, it's relational, but the boundaries are very clear. And how to make sure [in] those boundaries that there's a time, there's a place, there's a way we will, it's almost like a ritual that we will follow.” -  Dr. Sharon StanleyAbout Sharon Stanley, PhD:Over the past 17 years Sharon Stanley has developed and taught an emerging curriculum for healing trauma to thousands of  mental health practitioners. The educational experience of ST actively engages psychotherapists in exploring emerging research and practices in their own professional and personal lives. Sharon then applies their findings to the ongoing development of Somatic Transformation.As an instructor for Somatic Transformation, Sharon has had the privilege of teaching psychotherapists from Canada, United States, Middle East and Europe. Her doctoral studies at the University of Victoria involved research into the development of empathy in caregivers working with traumatized children and identifies the transformative effects of ST as an amplification of empathic connection. Sharon has been engaged in a small study group with Dr. Allan Schore, a well-known neuroscientist, for 18 years. She lives and practices psychotherapy on Bainbridge Island, just outside of Seattle.  Her book, Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma: Lifting the Burdens of the Past was published by Routledge in 2016 and is used by psychotherapists interested in a humanistic, developmental, body-centered, relational approach to healing trauma.Resources discussed in this episode:“Relational and Body-Centered Practices for Healing Trauma” by Sharon Stanley, PhDJudith HermanEdith SteinJohn O'DonohueMatryoshka dollsMax van ManenSuicide Hotlines and Prevention Resources Around the World---Punk Therapy: website |emailDr. Sharon Stanley: somatic transformation website | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when military service, racial trauma, profound loss, and EMDR converge into a path of healing, purpose, and compassion? In this powerful episode of Empowered Through Compassion, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Arielle Jordan. She is an army veteran, trauma therapist, EMDR consultant and trainer, author, and advocate whose work sits at the intersection of lived experience and evidence-based healing. Dr. Jordan shared her experience serving in the military as a Black woman and mother, naming both the strength she developed through service and the racism she endured within military systems, and her devastating loss of her daughter and father in a short period of time. Her story is an inspirational one, where she was able to move through adversary with grace and determination. Dr. Jordan spoke with honesty about how EMDR became not just a professional modality, but a deeply personal pathway for healing. We explored how trauma lives in the body and how compassionate, attuned therapy can help people metabolize pain that feels unbearable. Her work brings a vital racial trauma lens to EMDR, reminding clinicians and clients alike that trauma is often both personal and systemic, and must be treated with humility, cultural awareness, and care. Her incredible books are: Holding Space: My Story of Grief, Remembering, and Thriving After Traumatic Loss United We Serve, United We Heal.

Hey lady! You know we’re all about our gentle growth and continuous improvement over here so we’re excited to share an episode that will help grow your toolkit for whatever life may bring your way.As we heal and process it’s common to notice where your childhood has yet again shaped your behavior and caused patterns that at one time seemed normal but now no longer serve you. Growing up in environments where our caregivers were doing the best they could with the tools they had means that we may not have always had the space to be your full self. And, if you grew up in a Black household it’s entirely plausible to not be allowed to feel your feelings and bury them instead.But, we’re grown now and you are not only allowed to feel your feelings but you are encouraged to and there are frameworks that can help. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri present the RULER method, a powerful tool that can help you make your way through difficult and complex emotions so that you can remain in your sovereignty and stand in your integrity.This five-step method can help you meet life as it comes, which will help you loosen the grip of needing to control life. Understanding your emotions offers you more choice in your experience, which can lead to feeling more stable, grounded and having increased capacity to feel the richness and beauty that life has to offer you. Using RULER in Real Life· Recognizing: “How do I know what I’m feeling? What signals does my body send?”· Understanding: “Where did this emotion come from? Is it layered with past wounds?”· Labeling: Talk about the power of language—using words like “disrespected” vs “angry.”· Expressing: “Who is safe to share this with? What’s an empowered way to show this?”· Regulating: Tools and tips (breathwork, journaling, therapy, movement, prayer, etc.)Quote of the Day:“If you don’t know what you’re feeling, it’s hard to know what to do with your feelings.” – Dr. Marc Brackett Goal Mapping Starter GuideCultivating H.E.R.

Richard Schwartz and Cece Sykes, who—along with Martha Sweezy— have recently co-authored a book on Internal Family Systems for Addictions. Richard is the Founder of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model, a pioneering approach to psychotherapy which can be used to treat a wide range of problems, including eating disorders, self harm, addiction, and trauma. Cece is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and IFS Senior Trainer with over thirty years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples and families, specialising in working with the effects of trauma and addiction. In this lively and wide-ranging discussion, we cover: — A basic intro to the IFS Model — The root causes of addiction from an IFS lens — Why IFS offers a highly effective treatment modality for addictive processes — Best practices for using IFS when treating addiction and also important things to avoid. And more. You can learn more about Cece's work at www.cecesykeslcsw.com and find out information about Dr Schwartz's upcoming IFS trainings by visiting www.ifs-institute.com. --- Cece Sykes, LCSW, ACSW; IFS Senior Trainer, US and international. Contributed to Levels 1 and 2 IFS training manuals and teaches L1 as well as L2 Trauma and Addiction. Cece has over thirty years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples and families, specializing in work with the effects of trauma and addiction. Her chapter on compassionate approaches to addictive process appears in IFS: Innovations and Elaborations, 2016, Routledge. Cece also has special interests in spiritual practices intersecting with therapy and in the impact of psychotherapy upon the life of the therapist and she lectures, consults and leads workshops on all of these topics. Cece lives and works in the city of Chicago. Richard Schwartz, PhD., began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic. Grounded in systems thinking, Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients' descriptions of various parts within themselves. He focused on the relationships among these parts and noticed that there were systemic patterns to the way they were organized across clients. He also found that when the clients' parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, the clients would experience spontaneously the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that Dr. Schwartz came to call the Self. He found that when in that state of Self, clients would know how to heal their parts. A featured speaker for national professional organizations, Dr. Schwartz has published many books and over fifty articles about IFS.

In this powerful episode, Melissa Deally (co-creator of Amplify Impact Academy) joins host Avik Chakraborty to reveal how Timeline Therapy allows deep emotional healing without ever talking through traumatic stories. Melissa explains the unconscious mind, the 4 bodies & 3 minds model, why talk therapy can accidentally re-traumatize, and how to dissolve lifelong anger, sadness, fear, guilt, and limiting beliefs in just one or two sessions. A game-changing conversation for anyone tired of feeling stuck in old emotional loops. Key Takeaways: The unconscious mind (90% of your mind) stores every memory and emotion but does NOT require you to retell the story to release it — Timeline Therapy works directly with the unconscious to clear entire “gestalts” of emotion at the root. Re-talking trauma fires the nervous system again and again because the unconscious mind cannot distinguish between imagination from reality — this is why traditional talk therapy often keeps people stuck. All negative emotions are stored in “pearl-necklace” gestalts — release the root event (the first pearl) and the entire string collapses, freeing you from decades of anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, rage, and shame. We have 4 bodies (Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical) and 3 minds (Superconscious/Higher Self, Conscious, Unconscious). True healing and longevity require alignment across all four bodies, not just the physical. Acute anxiety is a signal you're imagining the wrong future going wrong — use Timeline Therapy to float above your timeline, experience the event going perfectly, and the anxiety vanishes instantly. Move from Victim Island to Solution City by asking: “How is this happening FOR me?” instead of “Why is this happening to me?” — this single question shifts responsibility and opens the door to growth. You do NOT need to control or suppress emotions — you need the right tool to let them process and release naturally. One 2-hour Timeline Therapy session can create more peace and mental quiet than years of traditional therapy.

Send us a textHost Andrea Atherton is joined by Danielle Young, founder of Inspired Action Wellness, whose lived experience and professional expertise illuminate the healing journey from trauma and domestic violence to emotional sovereignty and self-respect. Nicole's transformation began with one brave decision: to finally trust the voice inside that whispered she deserved more. Her healing journey, marked by nervous system recovery, deep self-reflection, and rebuilding her sense of self, opened her heart to guiding other women out of the shadows of their own relational pain. Together, their stories remind us that breaking free is not a single moment, but a series of courageous steps toward self-honoring truth.This episode invites listeners into an exploration of toxic relationships, not only the intimate partnerships that leave women depleted, but also the societal conditioning that teaches them to overextend, overgive, and overwrite their own needs to be “good” partners. From a young age, women receive messages that their worth is tied to caretaking, emotional labor, and the quiet management of relationship harmony. These roles create exhaustion, self-abandonment, and the painful belief that suffering is simply part of love. In this conversation, we expose these pressures with compassion, offering clarity and encouragement to those ready to step out of old expectations and reclaim their inherent worth.Throughout this episode, Andrea and Danielle explore how cultural narratives, family patterns, and relational trauma intersect to shape how women show up in love, often at their own expense. They dismantle the myth that endurance is admirable and instead elevate the importance of self-trust, boundaries, and emotional safety. Listeners will leave with a sense of validation, renewed strength, and the understanding that healing is not only possible but transformative. This conversation invites every woman who has ever felt drained, silenced, or unseen to reclaim her voice, her boundaries, and the freedom to create relationships that honor who she truly is.30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

A lot of women in midlife are walking around feeling like they're broken. You've done the labs, seen the specialists, tried the supplements… and you're still exhausted, inflamed, and wondering if this is just your new normal. My guest today says absolutely not.Dr. Karyn Shanks is a physician, author, and pioneer in whole-person healing whose work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science, trauma-informed care, and what she calls “soulful personal agency.” For over three decades, she's helped thousands of patients recover from chronic illness, burnout, and emotional disconnection—not by chasing symptoms, but by teaching them to listen to the intelligent messages their bodies are sending. Her new book, Unbroken: Reclaim Your Wholeness, challenges the old medical model that fragments us (mind over here, body over there) and reframes illness as a call to reconnect with ourselves rather than proof that something is wrong with us.In this conversation, we dig into what it really means to heal from the inside out—especially in midlife, when chronic stress, caregiving, perfectionism, and old narratives can keep us stuck in survival mode. Dr. Shanks breaks down the science of epigenetics and neuroplasticity in simple, hopeful language, shows how trauma and limiting stories shape our biology, and shares practical “micro-practices” anyone can use to begin moving toward wholeness today.We cover:Why “you are not broken” is more than a comforting phrase—it's biologyHow epigenetics and neuroplasticity give us real power to change our health storyThe hidden ways trauma and productivity culture keep midlife women sick and depletedSimple daily practices to check in with yourself, build intuition, and create safety in your own bodyHow to start advocating for yourself when you've felt dismissed or unheard in the medical systemIf you've ever felt unseen by your providers, stuck in a diagnosis, or disconnected from your own body, this episode will give you both a new lens—and a starting place—for true healing.You can find Dr. Karyn Shanks at https://www.karynshanksmd.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/karynshanksmd/Her book, Unbroken: Reclaim Your Wholeness, is now available wherever books are sold._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

In the first episode of this series, Lisa shares her journey from skepticism to a deep spiritual awakening that transformed every part of her life. Rooted in childhood trauma and years of using food for comfort, Lisa's story unfolds into one of healing, discipline, and self-trust; culminating in a five-hour morning ritual fueled not by obligation, but genuine inspiration. She bridges science and spirituality to explore what it means to be “a spiritual being made of energy,” weaving in lessons from meditation retreats, loss, and her evolution as a coach. Topics Include:Spiritual Transformation and HealingTrauma, Loss, and Emotional CopingIntegration of Masculine and Feminine Energy Practical Pathways to Transformation[0:32] Lisa introduces this new episode as the first installment of a multi-part series. She explains that the topic grew too large for a single episode, leading to a series that could extend to four, five, six, or more parts. [04:29] Lisa describes her current state as "phenomenal," attributing it to a new, extensive morning routine and a profound spiritual awakening. This transformation was not sudden but the culmination of a lifelong journey of healing and personal development, which began with her birth in 1993. Lisa discusses significant personal traumas like how the death of her younger sister when she was five caused her to disconnect from spirituality, which was a deeper layer to her using food to cope. Lisa's spiritual awakening began in 2016 during a guided meditation where she connected with her "higher self" and had a profound realization that her past struggles with weight were a form of self-protection. Lisa talks about how father's death in 2018 and receiving a message from him through Caroline Lee Dewey accelerated her spiritual development, marking a clear "before and after" in her life. [33:54] Lisa discusses how her move from New York to California helped her to begin the balance of her masculine and feminine energies and become more spiritual. Lisa explains how her journey to become a yoga instructor helped on this journey to connect the two and how this journey has helped her in her move back to New York where she learned through her ancestry work is part of her heritage.[1:01:39] Lisa talks about how her epic morning ritual can last up to six hours. A cornerstone of this routine is meditation, which she describes as a non-negotiable practice for rewiring the brain. Lisa acknowledges that the initial experience can be extremely uncomfortable and emphasizes that consistent practice transformed it into a deeply grounding and essential experience. Lisa describes that the transformation went from intolerable to a cherished practice after months of daily effort. She advises that integrating such practices into a busy life is possible through intentional time management, such as waking up earlier and reducing time on distractions, starting with small, manageable steps. *The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠Embracing Our Spiritual Journey: Insights on Morning Rituals and Self-Discovery

  Welcome back, Career Unicorns! This week, we are honored to host the incredible Dr. Grace Poon Ghaffari: a motherscholar practitioner, proud daughter of Chinese immigrants, and embodied healer. Grace is an Assistant Professor at San Jose State University, where she focuses on healing and harm among student survivors of sexual and relationship violence, examining how these experiences are intertwined with broader systems of oppression. In this deep and vital conversation, we discuss why the traditional justice system often fails to be a source of healing, the critical importance of naming violence as it truly is (especially anti-Asian women hate), and how to move toward decolonizing our own healing experiences. Grace shares her wisdom on tuning into ancestral knowledge, recognizing the validity of traditional wisdom, and finding sustainable ways to resist the exhausting cycles of systemic harm and microaggressions. Key Takeaways:  The Healing Gap: Why victims often don't find the justice system to be a source of healing, and the importance of acknowledging harm. Revictimization: The harmful experience of unhelpful police and the dismissal of non-stereotypical victims of violence. The Fight To Name Harm: Connecting the Atlanta spa shootings, anti-Asian women hate, and the necessity of uplifting marginalized narratives that are often wildly dismissed  Internalized Dismissal: How Asian women's experiences of violence are often minimized ("that just happens to Asian women"), and the role of purity culture in the Asian cultural context. Decolonizing Healing: Recognizing the positives of Western medicine alongside the profound knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors, and how our relationship to the body and land are part of the healing ecosystem. Ancestors As Researchers: Tuning into your own lineage and recognizing that your parents and community have been doing research all along, even if it wasn't recognized by traditional science. The Tiring Nature of Resistance: The layers of trauma, microaggressions, and the importance of finding ways to be sustainable and be in the resistance for the long haul.

We explore the difference between what happens to us and what gets stored in us, and why the nervous system (not the mind) is the true home of unresolved stress. She shares how seemingly small experiences, from childhood injuries to subtle misattunements with caregivers, shape our lifelong patterns of safety, connection, resilience, and self-expression.We go deep into the subtle early-life imprints that create functional freeze, chronic pain, autoimmune tendencies, and emotional overwhelm, including why traditional talk therapy, meditation, or even spiritual practices often miss the foundational biology that must be restored first. Irene also opens up about her own journey from adrenaline-fueled athlete to somatic practitioner, and the radical personal healing that unfolded as she trained with pioneers like Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais, Peter Levine, and Kathy Kain.If you've been searching for a grounded, science-backed pathway to healing that honors both your biology and your soul, this episode is a powerful roadmap. Irene's wisdom is equal parts compassionate, embodied, and transformative—you won't see your nervous system the same way again.

Send us a textEver wish you could quiet the story in your head without having to relive it? We sit down with Marine veteran and defense-tech CEO Tony Crescenzo to explore a practical, science-backed way to downshift the nervous system using neuroacoustic entrainment. Tony opens up about the years he spent running hot—rage, hypervigilance, and fractured sleep—and how a targeted audio protocol shifted his sleep from barely restorative to deeply replenishing. The conversation gets real about why so many first responders and veterans avoid talk therapy, and how culturally aware approaches can make all the difference.We break down the sleep architecture behind feeling human again. Slow wave sleep restores the body; REM sleep stabilizes emotion and consolidates memory. Tony shares research showing meaningful gains in both, along with a 9% boost in threat recognition—vital for police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and military communities where seconds matter. You'll hear how suppressing the prefrontal “rumination engine” while opening the anterior cingulate, parietal, and occipital regions enables somatic processing: the body digests stress so the mind can stand down.Then we zoom out to cognitive resilience—the brain's ability to adapt quickly under pressure. Using EEG-guided and AI-personalized protocols, entrainment builds coherence front-to-back and left-to-right, easing brain fog and improving metabolic efficiency. The result is a steadier baseline, faster recovery after spikes, and sleep that actually repairs. If you've been stuck between white-knuckle coping and sterile clinical answers, this is a credible path you can start at home, including free app tracks for power naps, rumination relief, and sleep support.How to reach Jonathan: 1) https://www.IntelligentWaves.com 2) https://www.PeakNeuro.com3) https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonycrescenzo/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The salient point of this podcast episode centers on the exploration of healing from trauma and the dynamics of codependency, as articulated by Dr. Nima Rahmani, a chiropractor turned expert in relational healing. In our dialogue, we delve into the intricate relationship between unresolved trauma and the manifestations of emotional distress in adult relationships. Dr. Rahmani elucidates how our childhood experiences shape our attachment styles, influencing our interactions with partners and perpetuating cycles of anxiety and avoidance. He advocates for a transformative approach to understanding and mitigating these patterns, emphasizing that true healing involves becoming aware of and addressing the underlying triggers that govern our emotional responses. As we engage in this insightful conversation, we aim to equip our listeners with the knowledge and tools necessary to foster healthier, more secure relationships..Links referenced in this episode:codependentme.orgcodependentmeutlook.com

In this Super Human Life masterclass, Coach Frank Rich brings you a powerful compilation from three of our most impactful conversations with Annie Yatch — trauma expert, entrepreneur, and founder of NorthStar Leadership.   Across these deep and revealing clips, Annie breaks down how unresolved trauma shapes who we love, how we lead, and the life we build. She unpacks the hidden ways our childhood stories, nervous system, and subconscious beliefs are running the show — influencing our relationships, businesses, and even our sense of purpose.   Whether you're a high-performing man, an entrepreneur, or a husband trying to lead with strength and compassion, this masterclass will show you how to recognize the role trauma plays in your patterns — and how to turn that pain into power.   Annie's frameworks bridge trauma healing, nervous-system regulation, and masculine/feminine polarity, offering practical tools for staying calm in conflict, leading your relationships from grounded strength, and finally finding freedom from the chaos that once defined you.   If you've ever felt stuck in the same emotional cycles, struggled to stay present with your partner, or wondered why success still doesn't feel fulfilling — this episode will help you connect the dots between your inner story and your external world.   Expect To Learn The hidden role of trauma in attraction: why we're subconsciously drawn to partners who mirror our childhood wounds.   How trauma distorts polarity: what happens when feminine energy leans into masculine control, and how to restore balance and safety in love.   Reading relationship dynamics: signs your wife or girlfriend is operating too much from her masculine — and what to do about it.   How to stay calm and neutral in conflict: the mindset and nervous-system tools to respond instead of react.   Integrating your masculine and feminine sides: how real strength comes from emotional awareness and internal balance.   Why entrepreneurs are addicted to chaos: understanding trauma-driven success and the addiction to adrenaline, crisis, and control.   The story that runs your life: how your subconscious childhood narrative shapes your relationships, business, and reality.   Why men struggle with vulnerability: the link between safety, emotional connection, and masculine openness.   Healing for young men: how men in their 20s can start connecting heart and mind to break generational cycles.   Annie's personal story: her journey from trauma to transformation and how it shaped her work in leadership and coaching.   How trauma becomes calling: turning pain into purpose by rewriting the story that once held you captive.   Victimhood vs. ownership: how unhealed trauma breeds a victim mindset — and how to break free.   Trauma, the subconscious, and your nervous system: why your body remembers what your mind tries to forget.   Gut health and trauma: how your microbiome affects mood, emotional regulation, and healing.   Finding your calling in life: connecting your greatest pain to your God-given purpose.   Love & leadership in partnership: how to build a business with your spouse without losing intimacy or polarity.   The biggest lies we tell ourselves about relationships — and how truth sets us free.   Guest Bio — Annie Yatch   Annie Yatch is a trauma-informed performance coach, speaker, and founder of NorthStar Leadership School, where she helps entrepreneurs and high-performing leaders heal the unconscious trauma that limits their relationships, leadership, and success. After building multiple seven-figure businesses, Annie turned her focus toward helping others break free from self-sabotage, emotional disconnection, and chaos addiction — guiding them to lead with clarity, compassion, and balance.   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

A Spiral Into Darkness, Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. The trauma of that moment compounded years of emotional strain from both law enforcement and military service. His marriage began to crumble, and the burden of grief became unbearable. “I didn't know how to cope,” he admitted. “I started self-medicating with alcohol and other destructive behaviors. It felt like there was no way out.” As the darkness grew, suicidal thoughts began to take hold. One day, he reached the breaking point and attempted to end his life. “The only reason I'm still here is because my handgun jammed,” he said. “That failure turned out to be the reason I got a second chance.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Finding Hope Through Horses That second chance came through an unexpected source, horses. Introduced to equine care by a new girlfriend, he discovered that working with horses provided a peace he hadn't felt in years. “At first, I didn't understand it,” he said. “But horses don't judge. They sense your emotions. When I was angry, they pulled away. When I was calm, they came closer. They made me face what I was running from.” Through consistent work with horses, he began to rebuild trust, patience, and emotional control. “The horses taught me to breathe again,” he said. “They helped me find purpose.” Today, he shares his message through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, helping others in law enforcement and the military confront PTSD and seek healing.

Yuval Neria and Prudence Fisher of Columbia University's "Man O' War Project" found that equine therapy can significantly reduce PTSD and depression symptoms in veterans. Dr. Neria explains, “Both PTSD patients and horses are preoccupied with ongoing concerns about trust and safety. This innovative therapy facilitates bonding, overcoming fear, and re-establishing confidence. One must build trust with a horse for it to warm to you.” A separate study cited by "Psychiatrist.com" showed remarkable results in veterans who participated in an eight-session Equine-Assisted Therapy for PTSD program. Among 63 participants, 50% showed clinically significant improvement in symptoms that continued months after treatment ended.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Angele Close, a clinical psychologist, motherhood coach, and certified mindfulness meditation teacher. Her work weaves together Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and matrescence to help mothers reconnect with themselves and embrace the process of becoming. She opens up about her own season of disconnection in early motherhood and how discovering IFS helped her find language, clarity, and compassion for the parts within. Her upcoming book, Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom, offers that same roadmap to others. Together, we explore the parts that push us to be the "good mom," the ones that try to do it all, and how IFS can help us lead ourselves and our families with more Self Energy. In this conversation, we explore: Matrescence is the process of becoming a mom, and why naming it matters The "good mom" parts that push us to do it all How IFS helps mothers understand the parts activated by parenting The tension between control, exhaustion, and letting go What happens when protectors soften and play, pleasure, and community return Whether you're a parent, therapist, or simply curious about how our systems respond to change, this conversation is a gentle invitation to lead with more Self energy in every season of life. About Dr. Angele Close Angele Close is a clinical psychologist, motherhood coach, and certified mindfulness meditation teacher. For more than a decade, she's helped women move beyond fear, perfectionism, and people-pleasing to find confidence and ease in motherhood and beyond. Her work is deeply guided by Internal Family Systems, which she describes as "a roadmap for understanding ourselves, addressing our pain, and finding a pathway to healing."

Expiration dates aren't always what they seem. While most packaged foods carry them, some foods — like salt — can last virtually forever. In fact, there's a surprising list of everyday staples that can outlive the labels and stay good for years. Listen as I reveal which foods never really expire. https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/long-term-food-storage-staples-that-last-forever/ AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere, but to use them well, you need more than just clear questions. The way you prompt, the way you think about the model, and even the way it was trained all play a role in the results you get. To break it all down, I'm joined by Christopher Summerfield, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at Oxford and Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. He's also the author of These Strange New Minds: How AI Learned to Talk and What It Means (https://amzn.to/4na3ka2), and he reveals how to get smarter, more effective answers from AI. When does a tough experience cross the line into “trauma”? And once you've been through trauma, is it destined to shape your future forever — or is real healing possible? Dr. Amy Apigian, a double board-certified physician in preventive and addiction medicine with master's degrees in biochemistry and public health, shares a fascinating new way of looking at trauma. She's the author of The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It (https://amzn.to/4mrsoIu), and what she reveals may change how you view your own life experiences. Looking more attractive doesn't always come down to hair, makeup, or clothes. Science has uncovered a list of simple behaviors and traits that make people instantly more appealing — and most of them are surprisingly easy to do.
