What if the hardest experiences of your life weren't meant to define you—but to lead you back to who you truly are? In this episode of The Lucas Mack Show, I sit down with my longtime friend and spiritual mentor Annie Yatch (https://www.linkedin.com/in/annie-yatch/) for a deeply personal conversation about truth, healing, love, and what it really means to become free. Annie and I have known each other for nearly twenty years, and our journeys have taken us through transformation, loss, growth, questioning, and ultimately a deeper understanding of ourselves. In this conversation, we explore what happens when we stop looking outside ourselves for permission, validation, and peace—and begin reclaiming the power within. Annie shares her transition from consulting and working primarily with men to creating a community designed to support women in releasing the emotional weight they've carried and reconnecting with their own gifts, wisdom, and genius. We also explore radical gratitude—the challenging idea that even the painful chapters of our lives can become teachers. Not because suffering itself is something we need to celebrate, but because healing can transform our relationship with what happened and allow us to receive love in ways we couldn't before. We talk about: • Releasing emotional baggage and old identities • Why freedom begins internally • Learning to receive love • Radical gratitude for the experiences that shaped us • Moving beyond fear-based narratives • Reclaiming your personal power • Oneness and spiritual alignment • Finding peace without needing the outside world to change • What it means to finally live as your authentic self At the heart of this conversation is a simple truth: You don't have to become someone else to be free. You have to remember who you are. If you're in a season of questioning old beliefs, releasing old versions of yourself, or trying to find your way back to peace, I hope this conversation meets you exactly where you are.

Shame is one of the most powerful human emotions. It can quietly influence the choices we make, the relationships we create, the risks we take, and even the way we talk to ourselves when no one else is listening. Unlike guilt, which says "I did something wrong," shame can leave us feeling like "something is wrong with me." And that belief can become a heavy burden to carry.
Why do powerful moments of insight and spiritual awakening not always create lasting changes in our bodies, relationships, and daily lives?In this episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi speaks with spiritual teacher Blaise Kennedy, the creator of Developmental Architecture.Blaise shares his journey through early loss, substance abuse, recovery at the age of 24, meditation, fatherhood, trauma healing, and spiritual awakening. He explains why genuine transformation requires more than intellectual awareness or peak spiritual experiences.Together, we explore how insight becomes embodied through nervous system capacity, emotional awareness, relational safety, honest connection, and consistent practice.Blaise also introduces Developmental Architecture, an embodied and relational framework that helps us understand how fundamental human capacities—including safety, agency, emotional aliveness, love, expression, and connection—develop within the body and through relationships.This conversation is an invitation to stop treating healing as a personal failure or a solo project. It reminds us that the places where we feel stuck may be parts of us waiting for safer and more supportive conditions in which to grow.In This Episode, We Explore:Blaise's journey from addiction and disconnection to recovery and awakeningThe difference between awareness and embodimentWhat Developmental Architecture meansHow trauma and past experiences remain active in the presentWhy the nervous system influences our capacity for growthWhy emotions are designed to move through connectionHow relationships mirror our inner patternsThe connection between awakening, healing, intimacy, and manifestationMemorable Quotes“I don't compare myself to people anymore.”“Drugs gave me the feeling of being alive.”“The past is alive in the present moment.”Key TakeawaysHealing is a relational process involving connection with ourselves and others.Embodied awareness can help us recognise the deeper patterns influencing our present reactions.Relationships reveal areas that may remain hidden during solitary inner work.Spiritual insight becomes transformative when it is integrated into the body, nervous system, relationships, and everyday choices.Slow pacing, safety, consistency, and honest connection are often more sustainable than chasing dramatic spiritual experiences.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Spiritual Awakening and Healing11:08 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Recovery19:45 Reclaiming the Self: Overcoming Addiction and Trauma21:11 The Role of Relationships in Healing27:55 Understanding Our Past and Its Impact36:37 Connecting with Our Deeper Self42:58 The Journey of Self-Discovery and GrowthWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rQEo3WRPIZA Connect with Blaise KennedyWebsite: https://www.blaisekennedy.com/Developmental Architecture: https://www.blaisekennedy.com/developmental-architectureOne Experience: Consciousness and the Absolute: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=19405918&appointmentType=95753357&field:18867415=MIRRORTALKSupport Mirror TalkListen, follow, and leave a rating or review on your preferred podcast platform.Share this episode with someone who is exploring spiritual awakening, trauma healing, embodied awareness, or healthier relationships.Discover more soulful conversations: https://mirrortalkpodcast.comRead CONFESSIONS: A personal invitation to reflection, healing and honest self-discovery: https://mirrortalkpodcast.com/confessions-book/Try Aletheia: Receive calm, personalised biblical wisdom for the questions and decisions shaping your life: https://aletheia.mirrortalkpodcast.comOn App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/aletheia-companion/id6781547449Ask Mirror Talk: Share what is on your heart and receive a thoughtful reflection that may help you see your situation more clearly: https://mirrortalkpodcast.com/ask-mirror-talk/

What if better relationships aren't about finding the right person—but becoming better at being in one? Relationship expert and author Dr. Elena joins Kelly Siegel on Harder Than Life for an honest conversation about love, communication, emotional availability, boundaries, healing, and what it takes to build a healthy relationship. Dr. Elena explains why couples often get stuck trying to solve problems when their partner simply wants to feel heard, how unresolved childhood experiences can trigger reactions in adult relationships, and why bringing old emotional baggage into a new relationship can recreate the same patterns all over again. Kelly and Dr. Elena also explore masculine and feminine energy, the importance of healthy boundaries, how successful people can struggle to turn off “CEO mode” at home, chemistry versus compatibility, modern dating, and why love is ultimately a decision—not simply a feeling. If you're struggling with relationship communication, repeating unhealthy dating patterns, trying to heal from past relationships, or looking for a deeper understanding of what makes love last, this episode offers practical perspectives you can take into your own relationships.

Can you heal fibromyalgia and scoliosis naturally?Cindy shares how she overcame childhood trauma and a prognosis that she'd be in a wheelchair by age 30. Discover how she used osteopathy, chiropractic care, neurofeedback and emotional release to completely reverse fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis. Learn how to listen to your body's language and start your own holistic healing journey.Key Information 02:01 – After enduring 10 years of childhood stress and trauma, Cindy was diagnosed in her early 20s with scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. 03:51 – Cindy's healing journey began with an osteopath. In their first session, she filled a paper with her physical and emotional symptoms.04:43 – An osteopathy goes beyond bones, they focuses on getting the body's systems to talk to each other again, especially a nervous system that has "shut down" or adrenal glands depleted from chronic trauma06:22 – Cindy's neck vertebrae had lost their natural curve and were completely straight. Through years of chiropractic adjustments and specialized apparatuses, she successfully restored the spacing and curvature.10:53 – Cindy and Sarah discuss how Western medicine uses fibromyalgia as a "blanket diagnosis" for unexplained pain. From her experience as a massage therapist, Cindy asserts that it is often unresolved emotional trauma locked physically within the body.14:15 – Cindy emphasizes that everyone has their own unique "recipe for wellness." While she used everything from counseling to energy work and shamanic healing, she notes that individuals must test what resonates with their own body.16:19 – Later in her journey, Cindy used neurofeedback to "reboot" her brain's wiring, mapping her brain waves with electrodes to correct improper firing patterns and regain control over her nervous system.21:36 – Cindy's tip for healing: take just a few minutes every single day to stop, check in with your body's physical sensations and respond with small, consistent acts of care (like rest, hydration, or movement).Cindy's Bio Cindy Gosselin is a Life Coach and the Founder of Choose Wellness, where she supports people on their healing journey in reconnecting with themselves and creating lives that feel aligned, sustainable and true to who they are.With a decade of experience as a Registered Massage Therapist, Cindy has worked closely with the body and developed a deep understanding of how physical, emotional and mental well-being are interconnected.

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!In this episode, Wendy sits down with Kristine Jensen, a psychotherapist who spent 35+ years helping clients heal shame, while carrying a deep sense of unworthiness herself. After closing her practice and moving to the California coast, she finally became her own client. What she discovered: shame is foundational, not superficial. It's not embarrassment or guilt. It's a survival mechanism rooted in childhood, where you learned to collapse, comply, and hide in order to feel safe. And it shapes everything.They explore:Shame vs. other emotions: the misunderstood feeling that keeps women small, quiet, and disempoweredSelf-soothing internal dialogue: the practice children with healthy self-esteem learn early, and what happens when you have to teach it to yourself as an adultStop telling your old story: why repeatedly reliving trauma reinforces neural pathways, and how moving toward who you're becoming shifts everythingThe work isn't about understanding what happened to you. It's about learning to talk to yourself the way you'd talk to someone you love. Building an internal vocabulary of self-encouragement. Getting tired of your old story so you can create a new one. This is how unworthiness heals.Connect with Kristine:kristine-jensen.comFacebook: facebook.com/kristinebjensenauthorLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kristine-jensen-203a09129/Get her book, Bruised Not Broken: amazon.com/Bruised-Not-Broken-Troubled-Childhood/dp/B0DZ2PZN37?tag=syty-20________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPSAnyone carrying the lasting effects of childhood emotional neglect, unresolved grief, spiritual trauma, complicated loss, or relationship wounds. This conversation is especially meaningful for people who have spent years believing they needed to earn love, acceptance, or belonging.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GETA deeply honest conversation about grief beyond death, healing childhood trauma, repairing broken relationships, understanding emotional neglect, and discovering that recovery begins by acknowledging what happened instead of pretending it didn't.DESCRIPTION:Some losses leave a headstone. Others quietly shape an entire lifetime without anyone recognizing them as grief. In this episode of Grief Is Not A Dirty Word, Nick sits down with author, speaker, and trauma survivor Danielle Bernock to explore childhood emotional neglect, spiritual trauma, accumulated grief, family loss, and the lifelong process of healing. Danielle shares how losing multiple family members, experiencing rejection inside her church, and growing up believing she had to earn love affected every relationship she would later have. Together, Nick and Danielle discuss why grief is often much bigger than death, why trauma compounds over time, and why repairing our relationship with ourselves often becomes the foundation for healing every other relationship in our lives. This conversation is filled with honesty, compassion, laughter, and hope for anyone learning that their story is not over.THIS EPISODE ANSWERS: What is childhood emotional neglect, and how does it affect adults later in life? How can unresolved childhood trauma influence grief and relationships? What is spiritual trauma, and how can someone begin healing from it? Why do multiple losses seem to become harder instead of easier over time? How do you begin repairing your relationship with yourself after years of emotional pain? KEY TAKEAWAYS: Emotional neglect can leave lifelong wounds even when parents genuinely loved their children. Grief extends far beyond death and often includes the loss of safety, belonging, identity, trust, and connection. Trauma frequently accumulates over time, making later losses feel even heavier than earlier ones. Healing does not require blaming others forever, but it does require honestly acknowledging what happened. Repairing the relationship you have with yourself often becomes the first step toward repairing relationships with others.DANIELLE'S LINKS:WEBSITE: https://www.daniellebernock.comCONTACT: https://www.daniellebernock.com/contact/COACHING: https://www.daniellebernock.com/coaching/SPEAKING: https://www.daniellebernock.com/speaking/TO BUY DANIELLE'S BOOKS: https://www.daniellebernock.com/books/Support the showGIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

This episode starts with a comment from a viewer: 35 years old, a long-term abusive relationship behind her, grief she can't move, a sense that the years aged her faster than they should have. Silvana takes that question seriously and goes somewhere most spiritual teachers won't.The answer runs through Black Tantra, specifically through Dhumavati, the widow goddess of the Mahavidyas. She is the goddess who ate Shiva. She has no wheels. She sits in desolation and asks you to stop pretending there's a way to make this okay. If you've been told to forgive and vibrate higher and your body still feels like a site of something that happened to it, this episode is worth your time.Silvana walks through a two-phase process. Phase one is full permission to feel what's there: grief, rage, hatred, all of it, through the body, with support, without spiritually bypassing any of it. Phase two is the reclamation: aura sealing, a cleansing season, boundaries that are actually non-negotiable, the gradual return to your body as a compass rather than a threat, and reconnecting with the Shakti that abuse systematically cuts you off from. She references Dion Fortune's "Psychic Self-Defense" on energetic protection, pulls in the myths of Inanna and Persephone as maps for descent and return, and covers the eighth house in astrology as the domain of trauma, depth psychology, and real power.If this episode surfaces something you've been sitting with for a long time, and you're ready to build the spiritual structure that lets you move from there: https://silvanaisaza.com/mentorship/

Ben Oofana spent decades learning from Native American healers, Taoist masters, and Hindu-Vedic teachers, not as an academic pursuit, but as a survivor seeking his own healing. In this conversation, he shares how unprocessed emotion lives in the body, why patterns repeat, and how breath and movement can finally help us let go.

Sheelaa M Bajaj, numerologist and founder of House of Sheelaa, believes our biggest barrier isn't bad luck—but failing to align our name, birth date, and elements with our highest frequency. She reveals that your birth number and life path number are only the surface; your name's vibration and the five elements (fire, earth, metal, water, wood) dictate whether you attract honey or flies—and why ignoring these energetic pillars keeps you swimming against the current.From surviving an abusive marriage to activating her own Raja Yogas through name changes, Sheelaa views numerology as a memory system for planetary energy left by ancient channelers. She shows why a Number Four must set boundaries to stop over-giving; why a Number Seven's overthinking isn't a flaw but a spiritual gift; why a Number Nine must find their soul's purpose or burn from within; and why aligning your name with the right planet transforms personal chaos into professional and relational miracles.We explore the difference between heaven's luck (fixed birth chart), earth luck (feng shui and vastu), and personal luck (name and mindset), the fiery 2026 as a "Year of the One" ruled by the sun, the necessity of syncing energy healing with hypnotherapy to close old trauma tabs, and how viewing yourself as a conscious creator turns karmic lessons into quantum leaps.The path to your destiny has always been encoded in numbers. Will you keep blaming your circumstances—or finally tune your frequency to the vibration that makes everything flow with ease?

What if almost everything you've been told about happiness is wrong? Most people spend their lives trying to avoid discomfort. Jerzy Gregorek argues the opposite: the harder the choices you willingly make, the happier, stronger, and more resilient your life becomes. World Champion weightlifter, philosopher, poet, therapist, and author Jerzy Gregorek explores the mindset principles that helped him survive political persecution in Communist Poland, overcome alcoholism, fight for freedom, coach elite athletes, and transform countless lives through what he calls the Happy Body philosophy. Jerzy explains why confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you earn through difficult choices. He reveals why most people sabotage their own happiness through expectations and complaint, why tiny daily improvements create extraordinary lives, and why true freedom begins the moment you take complete ownership of your choices. --- 00:00 Why Hard Choices Create an Easier Life 01:29 Recovering From Injury Starts With the Right Goal 05:22 Why Most People Never Build Real Resilience 07:02 The Stoic Philosophy of Constant Progress 08:01 Why You Need Bigger Goals 10:21 Building Confidence Through Personal Proof 13:19 The Power of Micro Progressions 15:18 The Incredible Story of Rebuilding a Life From Scratch 25:00 At 71 Years Old: Why Jerzy Still Olympic Lifts Every Day 30:03 How Poetry Became a Tool for Healing Trauma 36:18 "The Mind Makes the Body" 40:47 Viktor Frankl on Finding Meaning Through Suffering 45:20 Fighting for Freedom in Communist Poland 47:48 Helping People Recover From Addiction, PTSD & Darkness 54:54 Can You Become Your Own Hero? 56:17 The Books That Changed Jerzy's Life 58:12 Why Expectations Create Suffering 59:18 Stop Complaining, Start Taking Ownership 01:03:21 Choosing Happiness Is a Skill 01:07:22 What "Ever Forward" Really Means 01:10:47 The Value of Mentors 01:13:28 Jerzy's Daily Happy Body Practice ---- Episode resources: Timeline - get MitoPure with urolithin A for less than $75/month with code EVERFORWARD Watch and subscribe on YouTube
What if anxiety, chronic pain, emotional overwhelm, and even trauma aren't signs that you're broken—but signs that your nervous system is trying to protect you? Ashleigh Di Lello, performance coach and Bio-Emotional Healing creator, shares one of the most powerful conversations ever featured on Ever Forward Radio. After surviving a mysterious illness that nearly took her life as a teenager—and later battling debilitating chronic pain that ended her professional dance career—Ashleigh discovered something that completely changed her understanding of healing.

Welcome back to Season 4 of Let's Not Sugar Coat It!About the Episode: In this unfiltered season premiere, Bella and Lee sit down with Kirsten Davidson, a Registered Psychotherapist and founder of Mind the Gap Psychotherapy. We are diving deep into the uncomfortable truths that mainstream self-help completely glosses over.Kirsten breaks down why traditional mental health diagnoses can sometimes keep us trapped in boxes, how talk therapy can accidentally become a loop to justify staying the same, and the hidden danger of the "strong, independent" identity that leads to emotional numbing. If you're tired of surface-level advice and want to understand how to actually move the needle in your marriage, your trauma recovery, and your self-awareness—this episode is for you."Therapy isn't about becoming this perfect version of yourself. It's about unbecoming all the things you are not." — Kirsten Davidson
S8 E7: Healing Trauma Through Play w/Steve Gross, MSW, Founder, The Life is Good Playmaker ProjectIn this episode, Alexis and Gerald speak with Steve Gross, MSW, founder of The Life is Good Playmaker Project to discuss the value of play as it pertains to creating a context for healing amongst children who have endured trauma and stressors in their life. Steve shares personal stories of his formative experiences that led him to a career focused on helping children heal and grow through positive experiences that elicit trust, care, and joy. We discuss a conceptual understanding of being trauma-informed and how play and genuine openness in a trusting relationship can be powerfully therapeutic. We acknowledge how easily adults and children can lose touch with their playful nature when experiencing the traumas and stressors of life that create a survival instinct and ultimately can contribute to disconnection and loneliness; and how to return to that playful nature with intention and prioritization.Summary:The psychological and relational value of playfulnessThe significance of relationships in healing traumaThe Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)From being Trauma-informed to being Play- and Healing Relationship-informedRegaining one's playful nature and connectionBe curious.

In this episode, I'm taking a do-over.Over the last few years on Mayhem, I've talked so much about trauma, nervous systems, hypervigilance, emotional regulation, and healing after narcissistic abuse and childhood trauma. But the more I've learned from daughters, from the Mayhem Daughters community, and from our first in-person retreat, the more I've realized I want to simplify how I think about healing and what actually helps people heal.In this conversation, I'm sharing how my understanding of trauma healing has evolved and why I no longer believe healing happens entirely through insight or isolation.We talk about:Nervous systems and childhood traumaPeople pleasing, hypervigilance, and self abandonmentWhy “just calm down” doesn't work for daughtersConnection, community, and relational healingSecure attachment and why shows like Shrinking resonate so deeplyThe mother wound and allowing safe people to love you wellWhy healing happens inside of relationships, not outside of them This episode is for daughters of narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers who are trying to understand themselves, feel safer in their bodies, and experience healing in a more connected, human way.Join Mayhem Daughters
Sometimes healing doesn't start in your head. It starts in your body. For 17 years, Erika Shershun did everything she was told she was supposed to do. She went to therapy. She named her depression. She worked on her thoughts. But the symptoms kept coming, and underneath them was a survival story her body had never been given the space to release. This conversation dives into what somatic psychotherapy actually is, why the body remembers trauma in ways the mind cannot, and the pivotal moment in a hands-on training when Erika's body finally interrupted years of silence. Erika opens up about surviving an attempted assault while running at dusk, the voice that told her she was not going to die, and the years of shame that came before and after. She also walks through what unhealed trauma looks like in everyday life, why so many survivors blame themselves for what their body did during an assault, and the simple daily practice she gives every client to begin feeling safe in their body again. Through fear, shame, fight responses, and decades of seeking answers, Erika's story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible at any age, that intuition is something to trust, and that the body always knows how to find its way home if you give it the right tools. Guest Bio Erika Shershun, MA, LMFT, is a somatic psychotherapist who specializes in helping trauma survivors reclaim the life they were meant to live. She's the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal: Writing and Somatic Practices to Help You Process, Heal, and Feel Safe, the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook: Somatic Skills to Help You Feel Safe in Your Body, Create Boundaries & Live with Resilience, and the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. The workbook is available in Spanish (Tengo Un Trauma Corporal?), Polish, Russian, and Romanian, and the journal is available in Turkish. Her approach is trauma informed, rooted in somatic principles, drawing on neuroscience and integrative modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, energy psychology, mindfulness, self-compassion, and parts work. Erika values diversity, offers individual online therapy sessions in California, and provides coaching to clients outside of the state. You'll hear About What somatic psychotherapy is and why the body has to be part of healing How trauma is stored differently than ordinary memory Why 17 years of traditional therapy did not heal Erika's deepest symptoms The moment in a body work training that finally unlocked her healing Surviving an attempted assault and trusting the voice that came through Why so many sexual trauma survivors carry shame for what their body did How unhealed trauma shows up as digestive, autoimmune, and emotional symptoms The daily grounding and orienting practice Erika gives every client Why it is never too late to begin your healing journey Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 01:15 Meet Erika Shershu 02:00 What Somatic Psychotherapy Really Is 05:00 Why the Body Holds Trauma Differently Than Memory 08:00 17 Years of Therapy and Still Searching 09:30 The Trigger Point Therapy Session That Changed Everything 12:00 Surviving the Assault While Running at Dusk 17:00 The Voice That Told Her She Was Going to Live 21:00 The Shame Most Survivors Carry in Silence 22:30 Finding Somatic Therapy and Beginning to Heal 24:30 How Unhealed Trauma Shows Up in the Body 30:00 Why Self-Medicating Quiets What the Body Is Trying to Say 33:30 Erika's Daily Practices for Safety and Healing 36:30 Where to Find the Workbook and Guided Journal 42:30 Erika's Message for Anyone Still Searching for Hope 45:00 Final Reflections and Key Takeaways Chuck's Challenge This week, take one small step toward listening to your body. Maybe that means pausing before you push through another long day. Maybe it means asking what the tight chest, the gut ache, or the restlessness has actually been trying to tell you. Maybe it means downloading the first chapter of Erika's book and sitting with one grounding practice instead of scrolling away from yourself. You don't have to name everything you're carrying. You don't have to fix it all this week. You just have to start by listening. Because as Erika shared, healing doesn't begin when life feels safe again. It begins the moment you give your body permission to be heard.

Shrinks Rap was recently ranked #2 among psychotherapy podcasts and included in MillionPodcasts' 2026 Top 100 Psychology Podcasts list. Thank you listeners! Can eye movements really help heal trauma? Is joy actually one of our most vulnerable—and least expressed—emotions? And how do trauma therapists spend their days swimming through other people's pain without needing EMDR themselves after every session? In this episode of ShrinksRap, Dr. James Bramson sits down with nationally recognized trauma expert Dr. Jason N. Linder to explore the powerful intersection of EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT),mindfulness, and attachment neuroscience. Together, they discuss how these approaches complement one another, when each is most effective, and why healing isn't simply about reducing symptoms—it's about creating safety, secure connection, resilience, and the freedom to fully engage in life. The conversation also ventures beyond the therapy office to explore what gives therapists joyand meaning, why the ability to say “no” is essential for emotional safety and effective clinical supervision, and how today's immigration climate is affecting Latino and immigrant communities. Along the way, Dr. Linder shares practical wisdom for clinicians, hope for those recovering from trauma, and lessons learned from decades of helping people heal. Whether you're a therapist, psychology student, or simply fascinated by how people grow and recover, this episode is filled with warmth, clinical insight, and just enough humor to remind us that eventrauma therapists occasionally laugh… usually after making sure everyone has completed their resourcing exercise.Credits:River is High, Ticketless TravelerCarl Reisman, guitar, singer, and songwriterJenny Goodwine, vocalsJames Singleton, bassJohnny Vidocovich, drumsDave Easley, steel guitarProduced by Morgan Orion Reismanfor more information, carlreisman@gmail.comCopyright 2025WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here

Send us Fan MailIn 2025, I reached out to my dear friend Matthew Zoltan to discuss an idea of creating an in-depth series to help people understand trauma, why traditional therapies often fail, and how they can heal themselves.Over the course of many weeks, the project evolved into an in-depth 7-part series where Matthew reveals cutting-edge information he has never released before.Matthew wants to keep the bulk of this groundbreaking information for members of his Undu app community. You can learn more about his wonderful app here: https://undoapp.mvt.so/trauma-series Use promo code MZTRAUMA if you buy the full episode bundle in the app and you will get 10% off.This video is Part 1 of 7 Summary:An exploration of trauma, memory, and dissociation through the understanding that what shapes us is not what we think about our past, but what the body is still holding. Revealing the poorly understood topic of memory, introducing an understanding required for all healers. Matthew Zoltan outlines why memory is fundamentally physical, how trauma creates amnesia through shock, and why healing requires reconnecting with the felt experience of the body rather than analysing the story of what happened.Key points covered in this episode:Introduction and episode structure: “Memory, Amnesia and Trauma”Matthew's exposure to dissociation in monastic life and the harm of “good vs bad” thinkingBreakthrough: memory as sensation, thought as body activity, and the collapse of mind/soul assumptionsTrauma defined: shock, causing cognitive shutdown, leaving only “felt memory,” and how symptoms persist without memory recall. How reconnection with felt memory heals the pain, leads to cognitive recall of the associated event, and healing the confusions of false self-perceptions and undermining beliefs.Why you can't “think your way” to the cause but need to feel it within you. Why talk therapy, maintains dissociation, suppression and reaction to it.How trauma exists in how it feels to be you, shaping mood, fear, fatigue, and effecting all daily functioning. Post-surgery trauma: the lasting harm from surgery and informed after care that is missing from the medical system.Re-traumatisation reframed and why body-based work changes the loop.How the ongoing failure to heal trauma is itself increasing hopelessness, reaction and fear.Returning to the body: dissolving the split between “me” and sensation, plus a detailed retreat case studyPractical principles: go toward the distress rather than away from it. Closing reflections: memory held in tissue and blood. Education and religion explained as a dissociation training, and what's coming nextThe importance of Embodied Meditation and why this heals trauma.Support the show

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome clinical psychologist Dr. Bianca Sebben, whose work bridges complex trauma, dissociative disorders, Indigenous psychology, psychedelic integration, and eco-soul-centric approaches to healing. Drawing from her experience working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as her research into traditional medicines and cultural safety, Bianca explores what it means to reconnect with humanity's deeper relationship to the Earth. Together, they discuss ecological grief, soul, belonging, and the importance of understanding ourselves as part of a larger living system rather than isolated individuals. The conversation examines the intersection of trauma, dissociation, and psychedelic healing through a developmental and relational lens. Bianca challenges the growing tendency to frame psychedelic medicine as a quick solution for depression, PTSD, or emotional suffering. Instead, she proposes that psychedelics often reveal what has been hidden, initiating a longer process of integration, meaning-making, and transformation. Dr. T, Truth Fairy, and Bianca explore concepts such as soul initiation, descent, grief, structural dissociation, and the risks of seeking transcendence before establishing sufficient grounding, embodiment, and relational safety. Together, they also question dominant medical narratives around treatment-resistant depression, symptom reduction, and pathology. Bianca offers a perspective that reframes suffering as an adaptive response to relational and environmental conditions rather than simply a disorder to eliminate. The discussion highlights the importance of therapist self-awareness, resistance in the therapeutic relationship, Indigenous understandings of wellness, and the need to honour grief without pathologizing it. This episode offers a thoughtful and deeply philosophical exploration of trauma-informed psychedelic care, ecological belonging, and how healing may emerge through relationship, authenticity, and connection to both self and Earth. "We've all come from an ancestry of people that have deep, deep connection to the earth, and those of us that are part of the community of colonization, we're just more disconnected from those origins of our earth-connected connected nature, our true nature." - Dr. Bianca Sebben About Dr. Bianca Sebben: Dr Bianca Sebben is a Clinical Psychologist in private practice with experience working in both public and private sectors, including hospital inpatient settings. Bianca has a special interest in complex trauma, dissociative disorders and working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In her clinical practice, Bianca provides harm reduction and integration support to clients who have worked with non-ordinary states of consciousness in community and trial settings. Bianca completed PhD in Indigenous Psychology in Mexico, where she looked at incorporating traditional medicines into the western medical system to make it more culturally safe and accessible. Bianca provides training to therapists in providing psychedelic integration, with a particular focus on working with adverse events.

Today on ShrinksRap, we welcome Beth Foley, a Bay Area somatic trauma practitioner, yoga therapist, and wellness advocate who helps people heal from trauma, addiction, chronic stress, and anxiety by reconnecting with the wisdom of the body. Beth also offers wellness trainings and consultation for individuals, groups, and organizations, and will be a featured panelist at the next Human Potential Conference in Berkeley, California, on October 22, 2026.In this conversation, we explore the powerful link between addiction and the nervous system, why insight alone is often not enough for lasting recovery, how trauma gets stored in the body, and what healing can look like when we move beyond symptom management toward greater connection, meaning, freedom, and aliveness.Whether you're interested in recovery, mindfulness, trauma, or personal growth, Beth offers practical wisdom and a refreshing reminder: sometimes the body knows the way forward before the mind catches up.Credits:River is High, Ticketless TravelerCarl Reisman, guitar, singer, and songwriterJenny Goodwine, vocalsJames Singleton, bassJohnny Vidocovich, drumsDave Easley, steel guitarProduced by Morgan Orion Reismanfor more information, carlreisman@gmail.comCopyright 2025WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here

Some conversations stay with you long after they end, and my discussion with Dr Heather Herington was one of them. A naturopathic medical doctor and homeopath, Heather shared how her experiences with trauma, loss, and the death of her husband shaped both her life and her approach to healing. We explored her belief that recovery involves more than physical health, combining biochemistry with storytelling, emotional expression, and the arts. Heather also reflected on her experiences with homeopathy, challenges within the healthcare system, and why helping people reframe their personal narratives can be an important part of healing. Episode Highlights: 04:01 - Dr. Heather's Journey into Homeopathy 05:15 - Transition from Practice to Creative Arts 07:14 - The Impact of Personal Loss 10:25 - The Role of Homeopathy in Healing 14:01 - Expressive Arts as a Healing Tool 18:34 - The Importance of Creativity in Healing 22:00 - Current Issues in Canada: MAID and Gender Dysphoria 25:29 - Balancing Awareness and Action 28:04 - The Therapeutic Power of Different Voices 32:21 - Dr. Heather's Books 36:43 - Challenges with Social Media and Censorship About my Guests: Dr. Heather Herington is a naturopathic medical doctor, homeopath, author, and performer with extensive expertise in trauma recovery and the treatment of complex, difficult-to-resolve health conditions. Her unique approach combines two essential elements of healing: restoring biochemical balance within the body and helping individuals explore, tell, or revise the stories and experiences that have shaped their lives. With a deep understanding of the connection between mind, body, and emotions, Dr. Herington works with individuals experiencing psychological trauma, chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, addiction, and other chronic health challenges. She believes that true healing occurs when both the physiological and emotional roots of illness are addressed. Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Herington is an accomplished writer of nonfiction, fiction, librettos, and radio plays, as well as a stage and voice-over performer. She is a passionate advocate for the expressive arts and their power to facilitate healing, personal transformation, and resilience. Through her work, she continues to inspire others to embrace creativity as a pathway toward health, recovery, and well-being.

“Men put a mask to hide what appears to be weak to the world.”-Jason Wilson On this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, the guys sit down with bestselling author, martial arts master, mentor, and transformational leader Jason Wilson for a raw and inspiring conversation about manhood, healing, and emotional strength. Known for his groundbreaking work helping boys and men navigate trauma, masculinity, and mental health, Jason opens up about the life experiences that shaped his mission and the impact of his Detroit-based youth development program. From the discipline of martial arts to the vulnerability required for true healing, Jason shares how he's helping redefine what strength looks like for men today. The conversation dives into his bestselling books, his mentorship philosophy, the emotional struggles many men silently carry, and why healing—not hiding—is the path to becoming whole. With honesty, wisdom, and hard-earned perspective, Jason challenges outdated ideas of masculinity and offers a blueprint for resilience, accountability, and emotional freedom. This one hits deep and truly instrumental on many levels, especially with family values—this is a conversation every man, parent, coach, and leader needs to hear.

Lou Lynn shares a medical crisis in which she became unconscious, heard Jesus tell her to go to the hospital, and experienced an "in-between" place she calls "the great white," filled with His love and peace. As she felt herself being pulled away, Jesus told her He would let her live to raise her children. She awoke with a pulse in the 20s, received a life-saving pacemaker on Good Friday, and later faced years of chronic decline, fainting, and multiple diagnoses while continuing adoptions and family life. Over time she describes spiritual gifts, visions, learning Scripture, renewed marriage commitment, and a worldview focused on spiritual warfare. She emphasizes contentment without complacency, stopping the chase for an "ever-elusive miracle," and trusting Jesus to use suffering while believing for healing.

What if the very thing you desire most—love, abundance, purpose, fulfillment—is waiting on the other side of feeling safe to truly be seen? This week, Jessica, Lacy, and Janelle unpack the roots of visibility wounds and how childhood conditioning, family dynamics, societal programming, and nervous system protection can keep us hiding from our authentic selves. They explore the subtle ways we abandon our truth to stay safe from people-pleasing and shape-shifting to fear of vulnerability and rejection, and why reclaiming your gifts is the key to true magnetism.

Originally aired August 11, 2022. In this podcast Eckhart answers questions about healing from childhood trauma. He says it's important to acknowledge the trauma and to work through it, but not to get stuck in it. He believes while we may feel like a victim it is not ultimately who we are. Eckhart shares stories about his own childhood trauma. He explains that his father had intense anger issues and abandoned Eckhart and his mother when he was just eleven years old. As an adult Eckhart later realized that his father had been traumatized by his own childhood. He says dysfunctional family patterns are handed down generation after generation. He says healing happens when we break the cycle and that by practicing presence, we realize we are more than all the painful things we've experienced. Hosted on Acast.

If you're a woman in your 30s, 40s, or 50s feeling like your body is betraying you, this episode reveals the hormonal, gut, and environmental triggers behind perimenopause that most doctors never address, and exactly what you can do about it. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner, CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness Project, and a globally recognized expert in intermittent fasting and women's hormonal health. Her TEDx talk on intermittent fasting has surpassed 10 million views, and she brings over 20 years of functional medicine clinical experience to one of the most underserved conversations in longevity and human performance. Together, they tear apart the outdated medical narrative around perimenopause and menopause, exposing how a lack of knowledge, not biology, is destroying relationships, careers, and quality of life for millions of women. Dave and Cynthia dig into the gut microbiome's role in every symptom women experience in midlife, the mold toxin that is 10,000 times more potent than human estrogen and directly linked to hormonal chaos, and why biohacking your hormones as early as 35 could be the most important longevity move a woman makes. They also cover why statins are wrecking women's metabolism, how trauma accelerates ovarian aging and mitochondrial decline, the surprising connection between histamine reactions and hot flashes, and why GLP-1 micro-dosing alongside hormone replacement therapy is a game-changer for body composition and anti-aging. This episode is essential for listening for anyone serious about biohacking, sleep optimization, functional medicine, longevity, brain optimization, supplements, metabolism, human performance, and smarter not harder approaches to women's health. You'll Learn: Why perimenopause actually begins around age 35 and what to do about it before symptoms hit How a mold-derived xenoestrogen found in conventional beef disrupts hormones at 10,000 times the potency of human estrogen The gut microbiome changes that drive hot flashes, brain fog, weight gain, and mood disorders in perimenopause Why oral micronized progesterone beats topical for sleep optimization and hormonal stability How testosterone drives executive function, motivation, and brain optimization in women The lab tests every woman in perimenopause should run, including fasting insulin, ApoB, ferritin, and a full thyroid panel Why adverse childhood events and unresolved trauma age the ovaries and tank mitochondria How mold toxicity and Lyme disease create a hormonal perfect storm that no amount of supplements will fix The real reason 70 percent of divorces are initiated by women, and what hormones have to do with it Thank you to our sponsors! - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off - Superstratum Labs | Get Dave's exact home mold detox kit and save 10% at superstratumlabs.com/products/dave - Joymode | Go to tryjoymode.com/DAVE Or enter DAVE at checkout for 20% off. - Viome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.
