In this episode, Dawn Van Berkel, LPC, CCTP, CST, a mental health counselor and founder of H.E.R. Therapy, joins us for a discussion to explore the emotional challenges and opportunities women face during midlife and menopause. Dawn shares her inspiring story of going back to school in her mid-40s to earn a master's degree in counseling, proving that reinvention is possible at any age. She wants women to know it's never too late to make a career change, to go back to school to obtain a degree that will focus on what will make you thrive and always be learning. Dawn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a perimenopause mental health specialist, certified clinical trauma professional therapist (CCTP), certified sex therapist (CST) specializing in sexual assault and advocate for women's mental health, she helps women navigate the complex changes of midlife to reclaim and celebrate their sense of self through her practice, HER Therapy (Heal, Evolve, Reignite). In addition, EMDR and a parent coach for families with autistic children.It's important to recognize that the midlife and perimenopause phase of life is challenging, so each woman needs to first accept it and find ways that work best for them to move forward. Many women don't realize symptoms like heart palpitations, debilitating anxiety, or mood changes can be connected to perimenopause and that they often go unheard by healthcare providers and feel unvalidated.She discusses:The profound emotional shifts caused by hormonal fluctuations that often accompany perimenopause and menopause including anxiety, depression, and the heavy "mental load" women carry, managing both home and work life.The realities of trauma, not just catastrophic events, but the buildup of everyday stressors that wear down emotional resilience over time. The “light at the end of the menopause tunnel” -- that research shows postmenopausal women often experience greater life satisfaction, patience and inner peace. It's not the end, it's a reinvention.Dawn emphasized the importance to find the best first defense (e.g., talk therapy, antidepressants / SSRIs, hormone therapy, etc.) and to find a medical provider who understand women's midlife health and will help you on your menopause journey. She offers practical tools like breathwork exercises (make the exhale longer than the inhale), meditation and radical self-care strategies to help women reclaim their well-being.Connect with Dawn:Websites: https://www.hertherapyva.comhttps://www.lifedoesntpause.org/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawn-van-berkel Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/hertherapyva https://www.instagram.com/lifedoesntpause

Love is an action word; it's essential to demonstrate love through actions, not just words. A child's success is influenced by their parents' attitudes and the environment they create. Parents must believe in their child's potential and provide a supportive learning environment. Your attitude shapes your experiences; it's more crucial than the events themselves. Effective parenting involves teaching children essential life skills and encouraging them to be lifelong learners.

The U.S. is wrestling with a massive mental health crisis - impacting young people in particular. Half of young adults and one-third of all adults report that they always feel anxious or have often felt anxiety in the past year. One-third of respondents could not get the mental health services they needed. Why? 80% say they couldn't afford the cost and more than 60% said that shame and stigma kept them away. The shortage of mental health providers also means that care can be very hard to find, even when we try hard to find it. Usually on the Medicare for All Podcast, we focus on the stories we think you need to know about. Today we decided to scrap the show and come up with a plan to get an hour of free therapy!* (*Not really. None of this information is intended as medical advice.) Our guests today are Dr. Pamela Fullerton and Lindsay Baish.  Lindsay is a therapist and an Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Illinois and a certified trauma professional – and former volunteer for the podcast. Dr. Pamela Fullerton, Ph.D., is the founder and clinical director of Advocacy & Education Consulting, a counseling and consulting organization dedicated to ensuring social justice and advocacy through equitable access to mental health and well-being services. She is a Latina bilingual Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), a Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy professional (C-DBT), a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), a Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP), and a clinical supervisor and consultant specializing in working with BIPOC communities, undocumented communities, immigration and acculturation, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and career counseling. In addition to being a professional writer and speaker, Dr. Fullerton is an adjunct instructor in the Counselor Education department at Northeastern Illinois University. She is also a volunteer contributing writer for three publications and runs a nonprofit to support Latinx youth in the Chicagoland area. Dr. Fullerton consults for two behavioral health advisory boards, Sinai Urban Health Institute (SUHI) and Illinois Unidos/Latino Policy Forum, providing advice and input to assist in promoting health equity and justice initiatives for underserved communities in Illinois.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGql7_NXhts Show Notes Pam tells us that counselling is a subset of psychiatry and psychology that started as a movement for career development for veterans returning from war. The profession started helping people through life transitions puts people and their lives and livelihoods at the center. Lindsay notes that a lot of the language of mental healthcare is used interchangeably, but there are distinctions: psychologists have PhDs and can provide therapists; psychiatrists have MDs and can prescribe medications. Counselors and therapists can diagnose but not prescribe. Congress passed the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act in 2008 to prevent insurers from providing worse coverage for mental health than they do for medical or surgical treatment. However, mental health providers are not usually treated the same as medical doctors when it comes to insurance coverage and payments. Historically, counselors are the newest mental health clinicians on the scene and are more limited by insurers than more established clinicians like social workers or psychologists. Insurers often only reimburse for certain therapeutic models of care (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for example) leaving other kinds of counseling uncovered in the midst of a crisis in mental healthcare. Pam tells us that a big part of her job is the extra work to navigate her patients' insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid in order to get coverage for their care. Most Americans can't afford to pay out of pocket for mental healthcare. Counselors just got approved for Medicare reimbursement on January 1, 2024,

TEAM for Troubled Couples A New Twist! Today we are joined by a favorite guest, the brilliant Thai-An Truong. Thai-An is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC). She is the first Certified TEAM-CBT Therapist and Trainer in Oklahoma. She has found TEAM-CBT to be life-changing professionally and personally and is passionate about training other therapists in this “awesome approach.” In her private practice, Thai-An specializes in the treatment of trauma and OCD. To learn more about her TEAM-CBT Trainings, visit www.teamcbttraining.com Thai-An has been featured on many Feeling Good Podcasts focusing on Depression and social anxiety (Live demonstration, 187) Postpartum Depression and Anxiety ( 218) How to Get Laid (Ep. 264) OCD ( 283) Grief (Ep 344) Now Thai-An adds an important dimension to the TEAM Interpersonal Model—working with trouble couples, as opposed to working with individuals with troubled relationships. She also describes a new way to use Positive Reframing to reduce patient resistance to giving up David's famous list of “Common Communication Errors,” and she adds five new errors to the list. At the start of the podcast, Thai-An described a woman who complained that her husband often “shuts down” when they are communicating about a sensitive topic, and she wondered why. Thai-An decided to invite him to join the session so his wife could find out why. This really opened things up, and the wife discovered that her husband shut down because he was feeling inadequate when she pointed out all the things that were wrong with the house, and he was taking her comments as criticism. However, the more he shut down, the more she complained, and this pushed him away even further since her criticisms intensified his feelings of inadequacy. Thai-An then used Positive Reframing to help her see why he shut down. One of Thai-An's new ideas was to use Positive Reframing to cast our list of “errors” on the “Bad Communication Checklist” in a positive light, just as we do with the negative thoughts and feelings of people who are using the Daily Mood Log. By siding with the patient's resistance and listing all the good reasons NOT to change, nearly all patients paradoxically let down their guard and powerful urges to oppose change. Instead, they open up and become receptive to the many methods for challenging distorted thoughts. Thai-An has observed the same phenomena with troubled couples. When they see the GOOD reasons to why they or their partners use dysfunctional ways of communicating, they paradoxically let down their guard and become more willing to use the Five Secrets of Effective Communication. She says: Positive reframing started to open them up to each other, and helped them see each other in a more positive light. At the same time, they discovered that they shared the same values. Voicing the good reasons to maintain the communication errors as well as the cost of change (e.g., it'll be hard work, I'll have to focus on changing myself, it'll be vulnerable) allowed each partner to melt away their resistance to change. David comment: This is an excellent example of a “double paradox.” Once again, instead of trying to “help,” which often triggers intense resistance, the therapist sides with the resistance, and this paradoxically triggers strong motivation to change! Thai-An reminded us that it's important to go through the TEAM structure before moving forward with tools to help the couple change. For testing, she asks both partners to complete the version of David's Brief Mood Survey that includes the Relationship Satisfaction Scale, and asks both to complete the Evaluation of Therapy Session at the end. She makes sure both partners rate her empathy toward them at 20/20 (perfect scores) before proceeding to the next steps. During the Assessment of Resistance, she begins to work with David's Relationship Journal to get a specific moment in time of conflict. Then when they do Steps 3 and 4, where they identify their own communication errors and their impact on their partners, she does positive reframing of the bad communication errors, which you can see here, along with five new errors that Thai-An has listed below.   The Bad Communication Checklist* Instructions. Review what you wrote down in Step 2 of the Relationship Journal. How many of the following communication errors can you spot? Communication Error (ü) Communication Error (ü) 1.      Truth – You insist you're "right" and the other person is "wrong."   10.   Diversion – You change the subject or list past grievances.   2.      Blame – You imply the problem is the other person's fault.   11.   Self-Blame – You act as if you're awful and terrible.   3.      Defensiveness – You argue and refuse to admit any imperfection.   12.   Hopelessness – You claim you've tried everything and nothing works.   4.      Martyrdom – You imply that you're an innocent victim.   13.   Demandingness – You complain when people aren't as you expect.   5.      Put-Down – You imply that the other person is a loser.   14.   Denial – You imply that you don't feel angry, sad or upset when you do.   6.      Labeling – You call the other person "a jerk," "a loser," or worse.   15.   Helping – Instead of listening, you give advice or "help."   7.      Sarcasm – Your tone of voice is belittling or patronizing.   16.   Problem Solving – You try to solve the problem and ignore feelings.   8.      Counterattack – You respond to criticism with criticism.   17.   Mind-Reading – You expect others to know how you feel without telling them.   9.      Scapegoating – You imply the other person is defective or has a problem.   18.   Passive-Aggression – You say nothing, pout or slam doors.     * Copyright ã 1991 by David D. Burns, MD. Revised 2001.   Thai-An Truong's 5 Additional Communication Errors: Shut down—You shut down and ignore the other person or give them the silent treatment. Avoidance—You hide your feelings and avoid talking about hard topics, or disconnect through some form of escape. Rejection—You make threats to leave – “I'm done with you,” or “I can't deal with this anymore,” or “I want a divorce.” Control—You insist that the other person “needs” to behave or communicate differently, or “should” or “shouldn't” behave the way they do. Invalidation—You tell the other person they shouldn't feel the way they feel. Here's how Thai-An did the Positive Reframing with this couple. First she asked the wife, “Why might your partner suddenly want to “shut down” and stop communicating during a conflicted exchange?” She also asked, “What does this do for the person who is shutting down?” This is the list of positives they came up with. Shutting down . . . Keeps me safe and protects me from more criticism Protects my partner from hurtful comments I might make. Shows that I value our marriage and my partner's feelings. Shows my love for my partner, and for myself. It shows that I'm feeling hurt and want to be appreciated. Guarantees that I won't make things worse. Shows that I want to protect myself from becoming overly vulnerable and getting invalidated again. Shutting down feels less risky than sharing my feelings. Once she saw why he shut down, she realized the negative impact of her complaints, and began to provide more genuine words of appreciation to him. He said that this meant so much to him and made all the hard work worth it. Her common communication errors included “truth” and “making complaints.” He realized, again through positive reframing, that she also wanted validation, that raising children can be hard, and that she ALSO wanted appreciation for how well she was keeping up with the home and the care of their children. So, when she wasn't getting validation and appreciation from him, she was even more likely to complain to try to voice her perspective. Once he was able to stop shutting down, and instead began to make more disarming statements, use feeling empathy, and stroking, she was much less likely to complain. They also realized they had the same values of wanting healthier communication and to provide a safe and happy home for their children. Was this effective? Both went from 10/30 and 11/30 on the relationship satisfaction scale (shockingly poor scores) to 26/30 by the end of the relationship work together (extremely high scores indicating outstanding scores on my Relationship Satisfaction Scale.) Thai-An provided us with a cool Positive Reframing document for all of the communication errors. You can check it out if you CLICK HERE. I (David) pointed out that Positive Reframing can also be used in conjunction with the Relationship Journal in another way. In step one of the RJ, you write down one thing the other person said, and you circle all the many feelings they were probably having, like hurt, alone, anxious, angry, sad, unloved, and many more. In step two you write down exactly what you said next, and circle all the feelings you were having. This would be an ideal time to do Positive Reframing of your partner's negative feelings, so as to shift you perception that the other person is “bad” or “to blame” or some negative interpretations that you may be making. This reframing might be helpful in the same sense that my technique, Forced Empathy, can sometimes cause a radical shift in how you see the person you're at odds with.

Below are some scary statistics: 26.9% of teens ages 12-17 have one or more mental, emotional, developmental or behavioral problem (NSCH, 2019). 36.7% of high school students reported feeling hopelessness or sadness in the past year (CDC, 202). Among college age students, 29.1% have been diagnosed with anxiety (NCHA, 2021). Suicide is the SECOND leading cause of death for teens and young adults (CDC, 2022) One of the main driving factors behind starting this podcast was my recognition that mental health disorders in our society were climbing rapidly. And our children are not exempt from this fact. But the good news, is that there is help. There are things we can do that can help prevent our children from suffering. And if they are already suffering, there are things we can do to help them get well. On todays episode I speak with Colleen Devlin. Colleen Devlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey & Pennsylvania and owns a private practice in Medford, NJ. Prior to starting her practice, Colleen has worked with children, adults, families, and groups in a wide range of clinical settings including: outpatient, intensive in-home services, and  college and school-based settings.  Additionally, she has an extensive background working with youth suffering from various mental health diagnoses, behavioral difficulties, trauma, and crisis'.  . Colleen has received numerous trainings on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Nurtured Heart approach, mindfulness,  and positive behavioral support interventions as well as behavioral modifications.  She specializes in working with adolescents and adults who present with concerns such as Autism Spectrum disorders, social problems, depression, school difficulties, ADHD, self esteem issues, as well as mood and anxiety disorders. Colleen uses evidenced based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Mindfulness & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy strategies.   Colleen loves the work that she does  and has a true passion for helping others. It has always been her belief that when working with an individual, it is a partnership. We know life can get challenging and overwhelming at times, making the choice to ask for help is a powerful choice. Colleen believes  that all individuals  would benefit from having a therapist beside them through life so that they can live in accordance with their beliefs, values, and hopeful destinations. As a therapist Colleen's goal is to offer comfort, hope and healing in life's most difficult circumstances. We discuss how to recognize if your child may be struggling and what to do if you think they are. We also discuss how to help a child who is resistant to therapy, what factors contribute to mental health decline and what factors protect against it. Colleen also gives some great ideas on how schools can help and where and how to get plugged in with a mental health specialist. I hope you enjoy todays conversation.

Navigating Trauma, Faith, and Rebuilding: A Personal Journey Episode 97 of the podcast features a candid conversation between host Dawn Gabriel and guest Rebecca Gilbert, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). In this episode, they delve into Rebecca's unique journey of managing personal trauma and faith while maintaining her private practice. Dawn introduces Rebecca to the podcast, and Rebecca shares her gratitude for the opportunity. They engage in a warm and insightful dialogue, with Rebecca opening up about her experience as a mother, therapist, and business owner. She discusses the challenges she faced when her husband was diagnosed with a rare cancer, which abruptly disrupted her seemingly stable life. More about Rebecca Rebeca Gilbert believes healing happens when our bodies feel safe, seen, and connected. For the past 16 years, she has sought to create pockets of safety for her clients in various settings from court-ordered therapy in rural Mississippi, to group practices in college towns (Go Gators!) to solo private practice. ‌In 2019, after building her dream private practice, her husband was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer and given a 2% chance of survival. Suddenly, the beautiful life that Rebeca had worked so hard to build- being a therapist in solo practice, business owner, wife, and parent of two children under the age of 5 came crashing down. After taking a sabbatical and going back to her own therapy work, Rebeca began to rebuild her private practice with a renewed commitment to serving her clients while prioritizing family time. Today, Rebeca lives with her husband and two elementary-aged kids in the sunshine state juggling the demands of being a mom, wife, caregiver, and dinner maker as well as being a business owner, and holding others' pain for a living. She is honored to share the hope and the messiness of her story with anyone brave enough to listen. Three Key Takeaways: Embracing Raw Authenticity: Rebecca's journey highlights the intersection of her professional role as a therapist with her personal struggles. She describes the initial disorientation she felt when her husband's diagnosis upended their lives. The raw authenticity she displayed during this challenging time enabled her to connect on a deeper level with her clients, fostering a more genuine therapeutic relationship. Embodied Faith: Rebecca shares how her faith evolved from being an intellectual construct to becoming a deeply embodied experience. Through therapy and personal growth, she learned to listen to her body as a barometer of her emotional and spiritual state. This profound alignment between mind, body, and spirit helped her recalibrate and make more authentic and meaningful connections with both her clients and her faith. Rebuilding with Purpose: After closing her practice temporarily due to her husband's illness, Rebecca embarked on a journey of rebuilding and recalibrating her life and business. She discusses how this experience led her to set stronger boundaries, value her expertise, and prioritize self-care. Rebecca's narrative exemplifies the power of resilience, faith, and community in navigating personal trauma and professional growth. Rebecca's story underscores the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Her journey demonstrates how authenticity, embodied faith, and intentional rebuilding can lead to transformative growth in both personal and professional spheres.

Entrepreneurship involves putting yourself on the line and placing faith in ideas and actions that you can't 100% know will be as successful as you want, but often times the thing that limits that success and places those doubts is based on inner child wounds around past trauma and fears.Those might show up as a scarcity mindset from money wounds or as fears to delegate or trust your staff or team because of abandonment wounds.Many entrepreneurs struggle with these mindsets and fears, but there are ways to counteract them and find more security and trust in the process, yourself, and others.If you are finding that you have these mental blocks and fears and want to know about where they come from and how to face them, then this episode is for you.In this episode, I talk with Mikah Miller, LPC, licensed professional counselor supervisor, speaker, author, coach, and moderator for a Facebook group for therapists in private practice.Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:Understand how inner child wounds can manifest when you step into entrepreneurship.Identify what fears are holding you back and how to shift from a scarcity mindset into one that empowers you to show up as your best self in your business.Learn how to overcome the "who do you think you are" mentality to start making money and trusting the entrepreneurial process for greater income and peace of mind.Entrepreneurship can bring out a lot of our past traumas and wounds, so really digging into what they are and making an actionable plan to build security and prepare to face them is an important part of caring for yourself and your business.More about Mikah:Mikah Miller was born in Fairfax, Virginia.

Tammy unpacks why boundaries are a vital part of health and healing, how boundaries start with connecting with yourself, how to identify what you need, how to verbalize your boundary, and what to do when you meet resistance.
