Podcast appearances and mentions of julian ford

Each year, we broadcast nearly 200 episodes of programming. As 2023 comes to a close, we are highlighting some of our favorite conversations. Today, we're sharing three important interviews on mental health and trauma. Senior Producer Tess Terrible shares her favorite conversations on these topics. First up, we're going to listen back to our conversation with Kate Dias: President of Connecticut Education Association. She spoke with us about school shootings, lockdown drills, and how they're impacting student and teacher mental health. At the start of the Israel-Hamas War, we zoomed in on trauma in that region — and the ripple effects here in the U.S. In our second segment, we hear from Dr. Julian Ford, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut Health Center. We also hear from Steve Sosebee, President and Founder of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund and Rabbi Debra Cantor from the B'nai Tikvoh-Sholom Synagogue. And later, we hear from Deb Bibbins: Founder and CEO, For All Ages; Connecticut Collaborative to End Loneliness and local efforts to address the loneliness epidemic. Full episodes: Feeling safe or creating trauma?

It has been just over one month since the Israel-Hamas war began, resulting in the deaths of thousands of civilians and a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The images and reports coming out of this region are dire. Many have been left traumatized from witnessing the atrocities of this war up close and from afar Some experts say this war alone will create a generation in trauma. That's on top of the trauma that's already been experienced by children in the region. Children impacted by trauma can experience long term side effects and regression in their development. Humanitarians are not just addressing the physical needs, providing food, water, medical care and shelter, but themental health needs of the children experiencing acute traumatic stress. Experts say addressing the mental health needs in this region will require a long term strategy and the time to address mental health needs is now. When a disaster of this scale happens, it can impact a lot of people — and not just those directly affected. Secondary trauma can occur simply by hearing about someone else's trauma. People working with these traumatized populations are at high risk for this type of trauma, as are those of us a world away. Doom-scrolling can cause numerous negative mental health outcomes and symptoms of secondary trauma including compassion fatigue. This can be exacerbated for those that have ties to the region. What's happening now in Israel and Gaza can be a constant reminder of atrocities that have impacted generations of peoples. For both Israelis and Palestinians, collective trauma, and in some cases, intergenerational traumamakes breaking the cycles of violence even harder. Trauma has layers. Trauma is complicated. And trauma ripples. In today's show, we're examining all the layers of trauma. If you need to talk to someone, you can call SAMHSA's National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Coffee with Samso Episode 184 is with Julian Ford, CEO of Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL) updating us on Riversgold's exploration activities since the last conversation in March 2023.   Jump straight to the interview In our previous conversation, we discussed Riversgold Limited as a lithium explorer that I found interesting. One of the reasons I liked them is because they were among the few companies actively engaged in genuine mineral exploration for lithium. It's important for people to understand that the recent discoveries in the lithium sector have largely come from reevaluating previous exploration efforts. Companies have revisited their drill cores and discovered that the historical drilling had indeed encountered pegmatites.   Samso is not begruding of the success of these companies, such as the Mount Holland Lithium project, which is now privately owned and operated by Covalent Lithium. Riversgold, on the other hand, continues its exploration activities in search of valuable lithium-bearing pegmatite.   What I find interesting about Riversgold is their Northern Zone project. When I was researching this topic, I initially found their release titled Farm-in to Significant Porphyry Hosted Gold Project a bit confusing because the project had yielded promising results.   The company is proceeding cautiously to ensure the reliability of these results, which I believe demonstrates prudent management. Julian, in particular, discusses the project and takes a measured view of its potential.   What does Porphyry mean?   Here is a description of what a porphyry deposit means from Earth Science Australia:   The major products from porphyry copper deposits are copper and molybdenum or copper and gold. The term porphyry copper now includes engineering as well as geological considerations; It refers to large, relatively low-grade, epigenetic, intrusion-related deposits that can be mined using mass mining techniques.   Geologically, the deposits occur close to or in granitic intrusive rocks that are porphyritic in texture.   There are usually several episodes of intrusive activity, so expect swarms of dykes and intrusive breccias. The country rocks can be any kind of rock, and often there are wide zones of closely fractured and altered rock surrounding the intrusions.   As is described following, this country rock alteration is distinctive and changes as you approach mineralization. Where sulphide mineralization occurs, surface weathering often produces rusty-stained bleached zones from which the metals have been leached; if conditions are right, these may redeposit near the water table to form an enriched zone of secondary mineralization.       Figure 1: A schematic diagram of the basic structure of a porphyritic profile.     What is the significance of a Porphyry deposit?   Based on my experience, it is quite rare to find a fertile porphyry that contains only gold. Most porphyry deposits are typically associated with copper. However, Julian informs us that their system at the Northern Zone is devoid of any other metals and is solely a gold system. When we examine the historical drilling results, we can observe significant depth of mineralization, and the grades fall within the range of atypical mineralised porphyry gold system.   Julian has mentioned that they are currently awaiting the results from their recent drilling program. These results will help confirm the assay content and determine if there is any false enrichment present (see below).   Completion of Diamond Drilling of Northern Zone 26km ESE of Kalgoorlie   It will be fascinating to see the assay numbers and gain a better understanding of the potential of this project. The core samples from the drilling program appear to be in excellent condition, which further adds to the anticipation of the assay results.   Listen to Julian Ford here:     Chapters:   00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:03 Updates from Riversgold 02:57 The Gold Porphyry story 11:22 Metallurgical Cyanide Bottle Roll Test Results 13:37 How did the Northern Zone Project fly under the radar for so long? 19:34 Mt Weld Project 20:54 How should shareholders look at Riversgold? 23:04 Newsflow 23:50 Is the Porphyry story the main focus of Riversgold? 25:26 Why Riversgold? 26:03 Conclusion   Samso's Conclusion   The Riversgold story is an evolving narrative, and I appreciate the adventurous spirit of their projects. Julian impresses me as a composed and strategic individual who possesses a deep understanding of his work. When examining the Northern Zone project, the drilling results are remarkable and align with the expectations for a sizable deposit with low-grade bulk tonnage.   According to the Visual Capitalist, porphyry deposits are very large, polymetallic systems that typically contain copper along with other important metals. Much of today's mineral production depends on porphyries: 60% of copper, 95% of molybdenum, and 20% of gold comes from this deposit type.   The Bingham Canyon Mine, located in Utah and owned by Rio Tinto and in production since 1906, annually produces approximately: 300,000 tons of copper 400,000 oz of gold 4,000,000 oz of silver 30,000,000 lbs of molybdenum The value of the resources extracted to date from the Bingham Canyon Mine is greater than the Comstock Lode, Klondike, and California gold rush mining regions combined.   So as you can see above, the magnitude of finding a deposit of this nature in a Tier-1 jurisdiction like Western Australia is going to make Riversgold appreciate in market capitalisation.

Coffee with Samso Episode 172 is with Julian Ford, CEO of Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL). Riversgold is blessed with good fortune, finding a Lithium deposit in an old fashioned way of mineral exploration.   Riversgold has been pursuing their Tambourah Lithium project earnestly. Investors need to understand why there is a need to pay attention to this minnow in an exciting sector of the EV market. What may differentiate Riversgold from their peers is kind of complex.   The Riversgold Story   Why do I like the Riversgold story? It is one of the few exploration companies that are actually doing some real exploration. When you look at the companies that are out there exploring for lithium, you will be very surprised to find one that is actually exploring.   What I mean is that the majority, if not all, of the stories out there are ones where they have found a pegmatite on the surface and then drilled with discovery almost handed to them. These are the benefits of having low hanging fruits. I am not saying that this is a liability. What I am implying is that not everyone is blessed with such good fortunes.       Figure 1: Riversgold Bengal Prospect within the Tambourah Project in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia.   Riversgold seems to have gone that extra step to explore for the economic grades of spodumene. During the interview, Julian talks about how they are realising that they may be too close to the granite source. The mineralisation may be more fruitful further. The drilling intercept from TMBRC003 (listed below) is what lays hidden below the surface.   TMBRC003 (See Figure 1) intersected: 14m @ 0.50% Li2O from 15m to 29m downhole including 1m @ 1% Li2O from 18m down hole Applying a 0.5% Li2O assay threshold cut-off within the 14m downhole intersection, two smaller intersections of 4m @ 0.9% Li2O from 17m to 21m and 3m @ 0.6% Li2O from 25m to 28m downhole were identified reflecting zonation of Li2O grade within the pegmatite unit. When you watch today's Coffee with Samso, you will hear Julian Ford talking about a systematic process in trying to find an economic deposit. Readers must remember that the easy pegmatites have now all been discovered. What lies underneath in the depths of these projects will be the next prize. The lithium industry in Australia, the real spodumene discovery is still young.   The Riversgold's story is one that has developed from concept to what is now creating some credibility. This is the virtue of mineral exploration. The more you drill, the more confident you become in creating a dream into reality. I think Riversgold has come a long way since our first Coffee with Samso in October 2022.   Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL) - Vectoring into the next Lithium Discovery.     Chapters: 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 01:05 What is Riversgold about? 02:59 Updates on Riversgold projects: Mt Holland. 04:27 Mt Weld. 06:45 Tambourah Lithium Project. 11:09 Hypothesis for finding lithium. 14:06 What should investors look out for as a parameter for grade and size? 15:16 Thoughts on the current lithium market. 18:50 How should investors look at Riversgold? 22:25 How is Riversgold spending resources on their projects? 25:22 Comments on doubts about the demand of lithium. 27:21 News flow. 28:26 Why RGL? 31:16 Conclusion

Rooster Talk Episode 66 is with Julian Ford, CEO of Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL).   The exploration for lithium is now expanding to all corners of the Australian continent. The obvious places are now covered. The understanding of LCT pegmatites are now common language.   Check out the previous Coffee with Samso with Riversgold:   Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL) - Vectoring into the next Lithium Discovery.   In this episode Julian update us on the mineralisation at Tambourah and discuss what the results mean for Riversgold and where management is taking the company.   There are some great notes on the whole LCT pegmatite science and the methods that are being employed by Riversgold in their search for discovery. The geological understanding of where more pegmatites can be found now lies in understanding the geological science that producers these geological bodies.   Take some time, listen to the episode and use the information as part of your DYOR process.   Chapters: 00:00 Start 00:20 Introduction 00:56 The announcement. 03:45 The relationship between Lepidolite and Spodumene. 06:18 Lithium Exploration is still early. 07:41 The Lessons from the results. 09:36 What is your Exploration Strategy Now? 11:31 How should Investors look at Riversgold Now? 12:54 Conclusions

Post-traumatic stress disorder is often associated with military combat and experiencing a traumatic situation, such as the Sandy Hook school shooting. A few weeks ahead of the 10-year anniversary of that tragedy, we discuss PTSD with UConn Health clinical psychologists Julian Ford and Rocio Chang. They explain what PTSD is and isn't, differentiate between PTSD and the somewhat newly diagnosed form known as "complex PTSD," what we've learned in the 10 years since Sandy Hook, and how to help those affected by PTSD — including a treatment approach known as TARGET, which our guests helped develop.

Coffee with Samso Episode 157 is with Julian Ford, CEO of Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL).   The lithium sector has been red hot the last two years and all evidence are pointing to another long bull run. The narrative of the supply shortage of lithium is gathering pace and even I am on the band wagon now.   One of the most important point that readers need to understand is that lithium in an economic deposit is not easy to locate. In my opinion, in the immediate short to medium term, two things will happen. First is that the price of lithium goes significantly higher. The second is that the demand and the pricing will drive more exploration for lithium. The need to find more will be a driver for more exploration activities in Western Australia and Australia.   Canada and the United States will see more activity as well, but I sense that the activity here in Australia will be the major player. Hence, the need for investors to understand how this will happen and what the on coming results mean is critical.   Check out the previous Coffee with Samso on Lithium:   Red Dirt Metals Limited (ASX:RDT) - A Lithium Gem within a Gold Mine. Pan Asia Metals Limited (ASX: PAM) - An Economical Lithium Story in Thailand. Critical Resources Limited (ASX: CRR) has both critical metals - Lithium and Zinc. Is Mining Zinnwaldite an Overlooked Lithium Source? Pan Asia Metals Limited (ASX: PAM) banks on a Lithium Project with a Low Cost Structure Strategy   In this episode of Coffee with Samso, I have Julian Ford sharing with us his take on the industry. I wanted Julian to give us a good understanding of what the companies are doing, how they are doing it and what the results mean in the scheme of finding the motherlode or the Holy Grail.  

Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) & borderline personality disorder (BPD) are often confused and sometimes used interchangeably when, in fact, they are separate diagnoses with distinct underlying core etiology and symptomatology.  Clinical Psychologist & Professor, Dr. Julian Ford, joins us for a conversation around defining & differentiating CPTSD & BPD. In this conversation we cover:the adequacy of current conceptualizations of traumathe origin of the diagnostic construct of complex PTSD (CPTSD) and why it was proposed as an alternative to borderline personality disorder (BPD)where CPTSD and BPD overlap, and where they differthe special role that interpersonal trauma, attachment injury & especially victimization play with respect to development of CPTSD and BPDdifferentiating between CPTSD & BPD from a neuroscience lensdifferentiating between CPTSD & BPD from the lens of emotion dysregulation (i.e., the types of emotion dysregualtion typically experienced within each diagnosis)considering CPTSD & BPD from an assessment & diagnostic perspective, with some suggestions for clinicians  "gold-standard" treatment approaches for CPTSD & BPDDevelopmental Trauma Disorder (DTD) - why it was developed, the essential features of DTD and implications for diagnosis, assessment & treatment of trauma in childrenComments or feedback?  Email the show: oicbtpodcast@gmail.com.  Enjoying the content?  We would be very grateful receive a rating (or even better a review!) on Apple Podcasts.
