In the journey toward healing, survivors often find that intentional practices like sober sex foster a deeper emotional and physical intimacy, essential for their trauma recovery. This emphasis on connection stands in stark contrast to much mainstream sexual messaging, which frequently excludes the necessary emotional components for true sexual well-being. Development of safe relationships is threatened when media and politics overstep their bounds, making autonomous sexual expression and recovery a constant social and personal endeavor.*This episode explores human sexuality and is intended for mature listeners.. To lay the foundation for how intimacy is the cornerstone of sexual wellbeing, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors and experts in trauma and sexuality, Dr. Stephanie Covington and Dr. Vanessa Carlisle. Discussing their co-authored book, Awaken Your Sexuality: A Guide to Connection and Intimacy after Addiction and Trauma, Dr. Covington and Dr. Carlisle explore its core principles from various viewpoints. In the book, they examine the diverse facets of human sexuality, including the issues of entitlement and control that frequently surround it.

Standard eating disorder treatment often assumes that one model will work for everyone. But for neurodivergent people, such as autistic folks, ADHDers, and those with sensory processing differences, this approach can feel like being handed a map that doesn't match the terrain you're actually walking. Instead of support, clients often experience shame, retraumatization, or the sense that recovery is out of reach. What's In This Episode In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller explores why one-size-fits-all treatment fails neurodivergent clients and what affirming, individualized care looks like. She discusses how sensory sensitivities shape eating experiences, how ADHD executive functioning challenges complicate meal planning and follow-through, and how trauma and systemic oppression create additional effects that amplify struggles. She also outlines what neurodivergent-affirming eating disorder treatment looks like in practice: sensory-attuned, trauma-informed, flexible, and rooted in autonomy and consent. Content Caution In this episode, I discuss eating disorder treatment, recovery challenges, and the effects of trauma. Please listen with care and step away if needed. If you or someone you love lives with ARFID, selective eating, or eating struggles connected to autism, ADHD, or have other types of neurodivergent traits, know that recovery is possible with the right support.

One of the most common questions I get from betrayed partners: "Todd, do I need to separate from my partner to get clarity? Do I need to separate to have self-dignity?" And I completely understand why people ask this.When you discover infidelity, your nervous system goes into shock. You can't think straight. You're so agitated by your partner's presence that all you want to do is cry or hit or scream. And here's what I know for sure: you cannot go back to business as usual like nothing happened. That would be betraying yourself.In this episode, I talk about the different types of separation that can help you heal - physical, emotional, and sexual - and why most couples I work with don't physically separate but still need space in some form.In this episode, you'll hear:• Why going back to "business as usual" is actually betraying yourself • How infidelity shocks your nervous system and why you need to calm down first • The difference between physical, emotional, and sexual separation • Why most couples don't physically separate but still heal successfully • How to set clear rules if you do decide to separate temporarily • The hyper-attachment and hypersexual response that some people have after betrayal • Why you might need to stop having sex while you heal • How to be your own person instead of acting out of fear of losing them • What healthy separation looks like versus just avoiding your feelingsI share stories from my practice about people who needed different types of space - some went to stay with supportive family, others created emotional boundaries while staying in the same house. The goal is always self-regulation so you can get clarity about what's right for you.And here's something important: if your partner can't handle you taking space to heal - if they threaten to go back to the affair partner because you're not making things nice for them - bye-bye to that person. A truly remorseful partner will support your need to regulate your nervous system.My "Healing Infidelity From the Inside Out" approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about growing through the crisis so you have more options, more maturity, and become healthier individuals.

You can spend thousands on a matchmaker or swipe until your thumbs go numb, but if you keep running into the same disappointing patterns, the real question isn't “where are all the good men?” The real question is how are you showing up when you meet them? In this episode, Hilary unpacks why so many smart, successful women struggle in love even when everything looks perfect on the outside. Ghosting, mismatches, and one-sided relationships aren't the problem themselves—they're signals of something deeper. When self-doubt, fear, or insecurity color your energy, the wrong men move closer and the right ones step away. So how do you stop chasing quick fixes and instead become the woman who naturally attracts the kind of love you want? Hilary shares why identity work—not dating hacks—is the real key, and what changes when you finally treat yourself as the priority first.

In this episode, host Dr. Terri Levine is joined by Mary Struzinsky, LCSW, the founder of Star City Coaching and creator of the Subconscious Sync System. Mary shares her personal journey from a high-pressure corporate career as an executive director of a national human service agency to a terrifying health crisis—including blocked vision, a frozen shoulder, and shingles—that was ultimately caused by chronic, prolonged stress. If you look successful on the outside but are secretly battling burnout, people-pleasing, or perfectionism, this conversation is for you. Mary explains that burnout isn't just about the hours you work, but the "energy leaks" caused by how you work. She and Dr. Levine discuss the hidden signs of burnout, such as irritability, feeling numb, and losing joy, even while appearing to have it all together. Discover why talk therapy alone may not be enough and how addressing the nervous system and subconscious beliefs—which drive 95% of our actions—is the key to creating sustainable success from a place of alignment, not overdrive.

Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer In this heartfelt follow-up to their interview with Marian Crossgrove, Jennifer and Ashlee dive deep into the often-overlooked topic of substance abuse in the first responder community. With no guest this week, the hosts reflect on Marian’s story of resilience, recovery, and hope. They use her journey as a springboard for a candid discussion about why substance use is so common among first responders, how it impacts families, and what real recovery can look like. Key Discussion Points: Marian’s Inspiring Comeback: Marian’s story of losing her identity, seeking help, and returning to the first responder field offers hope to those who may feel isolated by substance abuse. Cultural Normalization of Alcohol: The hosts discuss how drinking is woven into the fabric of first responder culture as a means of celebration, coping, camaraderie, and the slippery slope it can create. Family Perspectives: Ashlee and Jennifer describe personal experiences growing up in families where drinking was normalized, and how family members can play a crucial role in identifying when substance use becomes a problem. Defining Addiction: Jennifer breaks down how addiction is identified, emphasizing the importance of looking at functioning and not just frequency or quantity of use. They highlight the clinical criteria and how family concern is a significant indicator. Genetics, Trauma, and Coping: The discussion covers how genetics, trauma exposure, and lack of healthy coping mechanisms can all intersect to increase the risk of substance abuse among first responders. Shame, Stigma & Department Culture: There’s an honest exploration of the double standard within some departmentswhere drinking is both encouraged and shamed, and how this adds complexity to getting help. Moving Toward Wellness: Both hosts stress the importance of departments understanding their resources, building peer support, and knowing treatment options because being prepared can save careers and lives. The Complexity of Recovery: Recovery from substance abuse isn’t easy, especially in a culture where drinking is prevalent. Jennifer and Ashlee share insights on the dedication required for recovery and the ongoing journey of maintaining wellness. Resources and Recommendations: The hosts encourage listeners to explore resources like Alcoholics Anonymous, peer support teams, and to approach the issue proactively within their departments. They remind families and departments to stay educated and ready to help.
