Today's guest is sharing her story as a survivor of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and birth trauma caused by random placental abruption. She is also a NICU mama who learned to balance parenting with the start of her psychotherapy practice to bring therapy to a rural area. Her story has multi-faceted, beautiful parts, and we are honored to have her here. Beth Partain is a licensed clinical social worker and the mother of three beautiful children. She founded Flourish Counseling and Consulting in 2020 to empower women and bring specialized perinatal expertise to an area where it was previously inaccessible. Her passion stemmed from her experience with the local hospital as she struggled through PPD, PPA, and birth/NICU trauma. Beth is the first mental health provider in Owensboro, KY, and the western Kentucky area to have a perinatal mental health certification. She serves on the new Maternal Health Council at her hospital and is a Blue Dot Ambassador, working in advocacy with the Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance. She has led two PSI Climbs in Owensboro. Beth works hard to help train local healthcare workers and therapists to identify PMADs from a trauma-informed care focus.  Show Highlights: Beth's story: Her first pregnancy was normal until a random placental abruption at 34 weeks forced an emergency C-section, a three-week NICU stay, and almost zero mental health support. Placental abruption: what it is, how it is detected, and the results Beth's shock and surprise at how quickly things changed and progressed to an unexpected birth, and navigating a NICU stay for her baby Looking back at the mental health struggles for Beth and her husband, with no support Beth's realization that she had postpartum depression and anxiety, but did not have access to help Finding help and starting therapy (as a therapist) Making the difficult decision to have another child and grow their family further Beth's commitment to bringing perinatal care to her rural area and training more providers in the care that she wished she could have had Making connections and partnering with PSI Great strides of progress and encouraging outcomes in changing the PNMH climate in Beth's area of Kentucky Resources: Flourish Counseling and Consulting Connect with Beth Partain: Facebook Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

In this raw and emotionally charged solo episode, Dr. Marianne unpacks why thinness continues to be equated with goodness in mainstream culture. Drawing on the New York Times opinion piece The Unrepentant Return of Christian Diet Culture by Jessica Grose, Dr. Marianne explores how weight loss is still moralized through religious teachings, wellness trends, and political rhetoric. This episode critically examines the resurgence of Christian diet culture, the backlash against weight-loss medications like Ozempic, and the deeper implications of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) campaign led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Dr. Marianne reveals how these systems are not just about health, but about control, obedience, and purity. She discusses how thinness is still framed as a sign of self-discipline and spiritual worth, while fatness is treated as failure or sin. Using a liberationist lens, Dr. Marianne also highlights the historical roots of fatphobia in white supremacy, referencing Dr. Sabrina Strings' groundbreaking book Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia. This episode challenges listeners to question how religion, politics, and public health are deeply entangled in oppressive narratives about bodies and morality. For neurodivergent people, those raised in religiously rigid environments, and anyone recovering from body shame, this conversation offers both validation and a call to resistance. You may want to listen in short segments, especially if you're prone to sensory overload or religious trauma responses. CONTENT CAUTIONS: In this episode, Dr. Marianne discusses anti-fat bias, Christian purity and wellness culture, diet culture, disordered eating, white supremacy, and weight-loss medications. Please take care while listening and pause as needed. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: How Christian diet culture can moralize thinness and spiritualizes weight loss Why Ozempic and similar medications are being rejected by some conservative groups The political motives and fatphobic messaging behind MAHA How alt-right Christian nationalism reinforces thinness as virtue The white supremacist roots of fatphobia, based on Dr. Sabrina Strings' research Why these systems disproportionately harm fat, neurodivergent, disabled, and BIPOC individuals What it means to reclaim body autonomy in a culture that demands control RELATED EPISODES: How Diet Culture & Purity Culture Fuel Eating Disorders: Unpacking the Trauma Behind the Rules with Cassie Krajewski, LCSW @inneratlastherapy on Apple & Spotify.

Diet culture thrives in isolation. It tells us we must heal alone, control ourselves into wellness, and avoid burdening others with our food struggles. But what if true recovery depends not on control, but on connection? In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne explores how co-regulation—the experience of nervous system safety in relationship—can be a radical force for healing. She explains how eating disorders often develop in the absence of relational safety and why diet culture reinforces disconnection and shame. Through the lens of nervous system science, trauma-informed care, and body liberation, this episode centers the power of healing in community. Dr. Marianne also shares why co-regulation can look different for neurodivergent people, especially those with PDA (Pervasive Drive for Autonomy). You'll learn how autonomy and co-regulation are not opposites, and how spacious, consent-based connection can be life-changing in recovery. Whether you are navigating ARFID, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or a complex relationship with food and body, this episode offers a compassionate, liberation-oriented approach to healing that honors your boundaries, your needs, and your nervous system. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Why diet culture depends on disconnection and control How eating disorders often emerge from a lack of safe, attuned relationships What co-regulation is and why it supports sustainable recovery How co-regulation can be tailored for neurodivergent folks, including those with PDA Why autonomy and connection are both essential for healing Ways to build nervous system safety in recovery without pressure or compliance How community-based healing challenges shame, perfectionism, and diet culture LISTEN TO RELATED EPISODES: Stuck on Empty: Autistic Inertia, ARFID & the Struggle to Eat on Apple & Spotify.

TikTok claims to have banned “SkinnyTok,” but disordered eating content continues to thrive under rebranded hashtags, edited images, and wellness culture language. In this eye-opening episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, Dr. Marianne Miller is joined by eating disorder prevention advocate and educator Jen Tomei (@askjenup) to unpack the rise of SkinnyTok and its harmful influence on teens and adults alike. Jen, founder of the Jenup Community in the UK, shares firsthand experiences of discovering disturbing content on TikTok—even after reporting and flagging videos, the algorithm continued pushing them. Together, she and Dr. Marianne draw chilling parallels to the pro-ana forums of the early 2000s, and explore how new forms of tech—including AI-edited bodies—are further distorting body image online. They also examine how neurodivergent teens, who are often more vulnerable to extreme thinking and sensory overload, may be especially impacted by these trends. Plus, they critique the rise of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and their potential to normalize restriction—even in pediatric settings. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: Why SkinnyTok still exists despite being technically banned How TikTok's algorithm can push disordered content—even without user interaction What “pro-ana” and “thinspo” culture looks like in 2025 The physiological damage caused by overexercise and undereating How social media is shaping disordered eating culture in schools globally The link between ADHD, cortisol, and disordered eating behaviors How weight loss drugs like Ozempic may impact teens' mental and physical health Why media literacy and early intervention in schools are urgently needed CONTENT CAUTIONS: This episode includes discussion of disordered eating, anorexia, pro-eating disorder content, social media harm, and weight loss medications including Ozempic and Zepbound. MEET OUR GUEST: Jen Tomei is the founder of Jenup.com, a UK-based organization providing school workshops on eating disorder prevention, body image, and self-esteem. A survivor of an eating disorder and a late-diagnosed ADHD adult, Jen brings both lived experience and professional insight into the complex intersection of neurodivergence, mental health, and diet culture.

Ep. 131 How can therapists effectively support clients with disabilities without being condescending or diminishing their autonomy?

In this raw and resonant conversation, host Deborah Moffatt of The Healing Version sits down with licensed clinical social worker and founder of Restority Space, Fanny Tristan, to unpack the complex intersection of trauma, womanhood, and singlehood for Black and Brown women. Fanny shares her journey into social work and how her personal experiences as an eldest daughter shaped her trauma-informed approach. She highlights the unique emotional challenges that firstborn daughters face—especially perfectionism, anxiety, and depression—and how these intersect with systemic pressures around relationships, marriage, and motherhood. Together, Deborah and Fanny dive deep into the colonized mindsets around love, self-worth, and gender roles. Fanny explains how women often internalize shame or a sense of being "behind" when single in their 30s or 40s, and why therapy shouldn't always be about diagnosing but about creating supportive, holistic environments where women can thrive. Fanny also discusses how her platform, Her Soul Supply, offers live masterclasses, retreats (like her recent one in Oaxaca, Mexico), and group coaching for single Black and Brown women to heal, explore their identity, and form intentional sisterhood. This episode is a rich, unfiltered reminder that: You don't have to be chosen to be worthy. Softness requires safety. Sisterhood heals. Healing is political.

Whether you're grieving or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers healing and hope.

Motivated by this loss and her background in public health, she founded the Coalition for Psychedelic Safety and Education and launched the Before You Trip campaign—an educational initiative piloting in Colorado aimed at helping Gen Z users assess their readiness and safety before engaging with psychedelics. Erica contributes her extensive experience from Nest Harm Reduction and Shine Collective, emphasizing the need for peer-based support, non-abstinence frameworks, and trauma-informed approaches. She highlights common pitfalls such as untrained facilitators, predatory behavior, and the pervasive issue of gaslighting in psychedelic communities. Together, they explore the gaps in current education efforts, the dangers of glorifying substances without context, and the moral injuries that can occur when people are harmed or dismissed by the very communities meant to support them. The conversation calls for broader public funding, lived-experience-informed leadership, and transparency around psychological and relational risks—not just physiological harm. The episode also touches on poly-substance use, the limitations of existing drug harm scales, and the importance of setting, support, and intention. With a shared commitment to saving lives and empowering users, Kristen and Erica offer actionable insights and heartfelt reflections on making this space safer for everyone. Listeners are encouraged to follow and support both Before You Trip and Shine Collective to help expand harm reduction education and survivor advocacy.

While we take a little breather, we're diving into the archives to bring you some of the most powerful, thought-provoking episodes from the past. These conversations are just too good to leave behind—and today's is no exception. We're throwing it back to Episode 57, a deeply moving and intellectually rich conversation with Heather Ferguson, one of the most respected voices in trauma-informed psychoanalysis and eating disorder treatment. Heather's insight into the nuanced connection between trauma and disordered eating is unmatched, and in this conversation, we scratch the surface of a topic that could easily fill a semester-long course. From childhood trauma and body memory to dissociation, shame, and the slow, compassionate path to healing, this episode is a must-listen whether you're a therapist, a survivor, or simply curious about the deeper psychological layers behind disordered eating. In this episode, we're talking about: What trauma really means—including the difference between "Big T" and "small t" trauma—and how it shows up in unexpected ways. How the context and response to a traumatic event can shape the severity and meaning of the trauma. How eating disorders can act as survival strategies: tools for self-soothing, control, and numbing. What it means when an eating disorder serves both soothing and self-punishing functions. Why the healing process must include not just the mind, but the body—and how we create space for that in therapy. How early trauma and misattunement can shape our beliefs about ourselves and our bodies. How intergenerational trauma, secrecy, and silence can pass psychological pain down through families. Why creating a coherent narrative and reclaiming agency are essential to healing. How somatic awareness and slowing down automatic behaviors are key to shifting patterns of disordered eating. How cultural, familial, and historical narratives about food and bodies impact how trauma and eating disorders manifest. Why curiosity, compassion, and shared storytelling are central to transformative healing. Tweetable Quotes “The eating disorder became a self-management tool, a self-regulating tool, a strategy to manage states of hyperarousal and anxiety, to have a sense of efficacy and control.” – Heather Ferguson “Most of us with a psychoanalytic frame of mind think about eating disorders serving both functions, that is, they can both downregulate and soothe the nervous system, but it can also be self-harming and self-punishing.” – Heather Ferguson “That's part of what gets mapped around trauma – ‘I'm bad, I deserve punishment.' It's illogical, it's sort of how the psyche makes sense of this – that you are the bad one, and you somehow induce the traumatic event.” – Heather Ferguson “The eating disorder, in a way, can be a window into understanding the trauma.” – Heather Ferguson Resources Heather's Website  Heather's email: heatherfergusonlcsw@outlook.com   Grab my Journal Prompts Here!
