This episode is the next installment of ‘Coping skills for adults' and I want to focus on the movement style. Movement and exercise is a strange one. Before doing it, you really don't want to, it takes a lot of momentum but once you've completed a workout don't you just feel amazing with all those feel-good hormones running through your body? This isn't just a feeling, it's been scientifically proven! Movement helps your physical functioning, studies also show it improves your cognitive function but most interestingly exercise improves your mental health. The topics I cover in this episode are:How can exercise help?What types of exercise are best?Working out what works for you with exerciseDifferent exercises to try out; boxing, swimming, hula hooping, golfing etcKeeping exercise sustainableThe ways I enjoy exerciseAnd remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!—Resources mentioned in the podcastChekroud, S.R., Gueorguieva, R., Zheutlin, A.B, Paulus, M., Harlan M Krumholz, H.M., Krystal, J.H., Adam M Chekroud, A.M.

According to a recent survey conducted by Bankrate dot com, Americans' biggest financial regret is not saving enough for emergencies. In fact, 20% of respondents gave this answer - even topping the reigning top response related to saving too little for retirement. And when broken down further, older millennials (36 percent) were more than twice as likely than baby boomers (14 percent) to say they regret not having a strong enough emergency fund. And when asked what they intend to do with their money going forward, 26% of respondents said they will save more for emergencies, while another 21% said they will spend less.Of course, this poll was administered in the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic and all of the financial disruption that has come along with it. But it got my attention that when asked about financial regrets, the answer had nothing to do with saving for the long term. It was about the here and now.In this episode, Malcolm sits down with Aja Evans, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in financial therapy, to discuss the concept of financial regret, how to recognize it when you feel it, and how to move past it once you do. Aja and Malcolm share some of their own personal stories, and Aja remembers the very moment she realized she wanted to work with people to take control of their emotions around money. Aja Evans discusses:Why it is so difficult for us to talk about money in an open and honest setting with friends and familyThe importance of focusing on your own financial situation rather than comparing yourself to othersHow to go a few layers deep and identify the true reason for the feelings we have about our moneySome exercises she recommends to clients to help them identify them moments when they feel anxious about money Connect with Aja Evans:Aja Evans CounselingLinkedIn: Aja Evansaevans@ajaevanscounseling.com About the Guest:Aja Evans is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in financial therapy. She likes to say that she is on a mission to get more individuals engaged in living their best life, while attuning to their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around money. In January 2015, she launched Aja Evans Counseling, a New York-based financial therapy practice where she supports clients to begin working towards a better version of themselves. In addition to her work as a financial therapist, Aja is a speaker, writer, and fintech consultant, focusing on the intersection of mental health and money.

We can learn a lot from history and luckily as humans we can learn to progress and right our wrongs, to be more ethical or helpful. In regards to caring for children, in the past we used restraint techniques when a child was displaying negative behavior and some were even paddled! In fact I was stunned to learn that, as of 2022 paddling is legal and being practiced in 15 U.S states. You don't need hard scientific evidence to know this isn't right. My guest Kim Hopkins joins me to talk about safer, kinder techniques we can use with our children to help them learn effectively. The topics we cover in this episode are:Old school restraint techniques and how we feel about them nowWhy do some kids have such concerning behaviors?What happens when kids lack skillsWhat is an upstream model?How being a parent can change you as a therapistWhy rewards and consequences don't work for some kidsThe great side of teenagersModeling and how you can use your power differently as the parent / adultWhat length of time does the modeling technique take? Resources you can discover from Lives in the BalanceHow Kim rests and recharges And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!—About The Guest - Kim HopkinsMs. Hopkins is an independently licensed clinical social worker who has specialized in working with behaviorally challenging kids for more than 20 years.

his episode is all about music. Have you ever felt anxious and put on your favorite calming song? Or perhaps sad and delved into a heartfelt playlist? I would guess most of us use music to fuel our tough workouts! My guest on this episode Ryan Judd is an internationally known music therapist who uses the power of song with children - mainly in the school setting. Research shows music produces Oxytocin in the brain which is the hormone associated with social bonding, a very important skill to learn as a child. Listening isn't the only part that is beneficial, but playing music can help children bond further and release any emotions through sensory play. The topics we cover in this episode are:How Ryan found Music TherapyWhat music therapy looks like in a school settingHow powerful it is to work in a groupSinging produces Oxytocin in the brainThe bonding experience of singing with othersMusic and anxiety - are there any links?The sensory side of playing musicHow Ryan likes to rest and recharge Being present with your childrenAbout The Guest - Ryan JuddRyan lives in Exeter, New Hampshire with his wife and their two young boys.

Her work with expressive “languages” for children with autism has led her to collaboration nationally and internationally in Africa, Asia, and Europe.

-What is ‘religious trauma' and how does it relate to codependency? -How do abusive dynamics, patterns, and behaviors in certain religious create and compound codependent behaviors in their followers? -What are ways you can heal from codependency caused by religious trauma?   Welcome to episode 94! This week, I sat down with Susanna Guarino, LMHC, to discuss how and why religious trauma can contribute to the development of codependency. Susanna shares with us what religious trauma is and how religions, institutions, and individuals can lead their followers to lose their identity in caring and catering to the group. We differentiate between healthy versus unhealthy service to help you distinguish the two in your own life. We conclude with Susanna sharing ways to heal from codependency caused by religious trauma, including checking in with yourself, giving yourself space, and creating safety to have your feelings.

She provides a brief overview of The Gottman Method and how codependency connects with the Four Horseman of conflict: critIcism, defensiveness, stonewalling, and contempt.    We then turn our focus to Susanna's specialty with religious trauma. She describes what relIgious trauma is and it's interconnection to codependency. Susanna describes how religions often use fear and shame, discourage speaking up, encourage a loss of individual identity in exchange for identity with the group, and “spiritual bypassing.”    We explore what healthy versus unhealthy service, worship, adherence, and participation in religions looks like. Susanna encourages us to investigate whether a group is truly egalitarian and whether they treat women and children with dignity. Also, being mindful that there is not use of strategies like the “thought-terminating cliche” that Susanna mentioned from the work of Bridget McNulty.   We conclude with ways to heal from codependency created by religious trauma. Susanna describes how we need to start to check in with ourselves, find a therapist who treats religious trauma, work through the feelings from our religious abuse, and give ourselves a lot of space to find out who we are.    I'll be sure to have an episode about codependency with God which is definitely part of my experience! Questions for you: What came up for you as you heard Susanna's definition of codependency?  How do you see yourself engaging in those Four Horseman? Criticism, contempt, stonewalling, and defensiveness in your relationships? Do you have experiences of religious trauma and abuse in your upbringing? What memories came to mind as you heard Susanna describe what religious trauma looks like.  How do you sense negative experiences with religions/institutions/leaders/peers are impacting you in your current life as it relates to your codependency? From the steps that Susanna described on how to heal from codependency caused by religious abuse, what can you integrate into your life to support your own healing?   Thank you for coming on Susanna!   And thank you, dear listener, for listening!  PLEASE: Rate.  Review.
