Holli Kenley, MA, LMFTAs a thought-leader in the field of psychology for over 25 years, what lights me up is to help individuals bravely address discomfort, dis-ease and dissatisfaction in their lives so that they can create healthy change, first in themselves and then in their relationships. Wherever individuals are in their journeys, I meet them with unconditional positive regard, respect, and empathic rigor – guiding them as they SHIFT their lives into more whole and well ways of being.For the past decade, I have made it my mission to engage clinical and lay audiences, empowering them with strategies to embrace well and whole ways of being. I have been a six-time peer presenter at the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists Annual State Conferences and a featured or keynote speaker at college level clinical programs, state and national advocacy organizations, and educational institutions speaking on betrayal, cyber bullying, the power of self-worth, relapse, screen dependence, and sexual abuse recovery.I recently delivered my first TEDx Talk – BETRAYAL: The Loss No One Is Talking About –available on TED.com YouTube.I am the author of eleven recovery books, four of them on betrayal. Learn more about Holli here!Learn more about Path to Podcast Success here!

Tonight's special guest is Holli Kenley from Rancho Mirage, California, a child abuse  survivor, a therapist, an author and an activist. She recently was featured on a TED Talk on 'BETRYAL: The Loss of Self '. Holli holds a Master's Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage, Family, and Child. She currently works in the field of psychology as an author, speaker, and workshop presenter. Through her gentle but powerful informative and restorative approach, Holli engages clinical and lay audiences, empowering them with strategies to embrace well and whole ways of being. "Within my private practice or wherever I am able to reach folks," she says, "it is my passion and purpose to support individuals on their journeys in living more well and whole lives." Holli is the author of numerous books. Her 11th book was published in January: 'SHIFTING Bravely: A Path to Growth, Healing and Transformation'. Her recent TED Talk is, 'BETRAYAL: The Loss No One Is Talking About' (October). Since she's told her abuse story on our show in the past she's wondering if we can focus tonight on BETRAYAL, and how that shows up for sexual abuse survivors. "Of course, I will connect to my personal experiences. As I speak to in my talk, it is the 'loss of self' that is greatly impacted by abuse of all kinds, and especially with sexual abuse. It is something we don't often talk about." Holli goes on, "It is deeply buried in shame. Also, I believe the recovery path looks much different than with 'loss of someone or something'. Also, in the conversation around BETRAYAL, the topic of 'forgiveness' often is misunderstood, especially when it comes to healing."

— “When you assess your own life, consider it with the eye of a gardener. Underneath the surface lies rich, fertile soil waiting to nurture the seeds you sow. Even more than you can imagine will grow there if given a chance.” By Steve Goodier  Are you feeling stuck, stagnant, or unsettled in your current reality?

Dan and Ed welcome Holli Kenley back to Insights Into Education. Holli is a highly experienced marriage and family therapist and noted author. Based on her years of research and observations, Holli shares vital parenting information and principles.    Parenting is a tremendous responsibility. Everything we say and do or don't say and do deeply affects our children and their futures. Contrary to popular thought, it is not enough just "to be" in our children's lives; "how we show up" has lifelong implications and ramifications.   With the demands of everyday life along with the myriad of mixed messages regarding effective parenting, parents often feel overwhelmed and confused. In today's podcast, Holli will discuss four critical concepts which will stretch, strengthen, and support parents/guardians as they embrace a mindset of "intentional parenting."    Learn more at: http://wellnesswithholli.blogspot.com/2018/01/pilates-for-parents-warm-up-you-matter.html

As a health and wellness coach, I quickly came to discover that health and wellness is way more than just diet and exercise.  Relationships that we have with key figures in our lives also shapes the narrative of our lives.  Holli Kenley joins the show to discuss arguably the most important relationship that we have and how it shapes lives.  The mother-daughter relationship. Her book, Daughters Betrayed By Their Mothers: Moving From Brokenness to Wholeness, showcases strong and successful women who have endured a betrayal in this relationship and, despite the pain that they endured, overcame this painful circumstance.

Did you know that one in five children are cyber bullied?  Did you know that many bullies are victims first? The more proficient young people become at technology paired with the more time they spend with electronic communication increases their risk for being targeted.  Many adults spend very little time teaching their children safe on-line behaviors and some parents have no guidelines what so ever. Holli Kenley, M.A., MFT, Recovery Expert and author of the book, Cyber Bulling No More returns to The Lifes Dash and joins host Michele Mattia to discuss parenting a high tech generation.

An Interview with Holli Kenley, MA on Surviving Betrayal. Mental Help Net (www.mentalhelp.net) presents the Wise Counsel Podcast (wisecounsel.mentalhelp.net), hosted by David Van Nuys, Ph.D. Ms. Kenley became highly attuned to the idea of betrayal after noting it as a common theme in multiple clients and dealing with it in her own life. Her efforts to understand what people refer to when they say "betrayed" resulted in her identification of three common experiences or states of being: confusion, worthlessness, and powerlessness, which she describes as stages that occur in that order, respectively. The difficulty a person will have in processing a betrayal and moving through these stages is affected by multiple factors, including one's personality or ego strength, the degree to which the betrayal affects identity investments in particular social roles, and the chronicity of the betrayal (whether it is a single event or a recurring theme). People who have experienced multiple and chronic betrayals may find that they are dealing with a pool of residual betrayal, in that they have come to identify themselves as a victim and self-effiacy is low. Such stored or institutionalized betrayal must be addressed and worked through in therapy or the client's progress may stall. An important componant of this work involves helping the client move from a passive/victim core sense of self to a more active and empowered persona capable of self-authorship and able to right herself. This shift from passive victim identity to a self-authoring identity opens up the possibility of anger and blame, which must also be worked through so as not to become the new basis for the client's identity, as this is also a trap.
