Meditation is a practice that intimidates many people. Silence, coupled with the act of observing rather than acting, often evokes emotions such as despair and loneliness. But what if we applied the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM©) to the experience of meditative silence? On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth is in conversation with Alli Malnik, a NARM-trained mental health counselor who frequently assists with large meditation events held worldwide. The pair discuss Alli's professional journey and the role that NARM played in her personal healing. Alli also shares observations from her event work on efforting and discomfort and explains how she incorporates NARM themes of connection, curiosity, and trust to extend the meditative benefits beyond these organized gatherings. About Alli Malnik: Alli Malnik, MS, LMHC, is a NARM-trained therapist licensed in Florida and Colorado. Her current specialties focus on complex trauma, relational aspects, attachment difficulties, anxiety, and depression. She's also trained in EMDR and assists her clients by creating a safe space to explore effective ways to relate to others.  Originally from Miami Beach, Alli attended Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, where she received a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. She later earned a master's in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in 2016, after working as a fourth-grade teacher. In her free time, Alli enjoys the beach, hiking, football, meditation, her dogs, and spending time with her three children.

In this raw and revelatory episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik is joined by Bianca Thomas—licensed mental health counselor, co-founder of Evolve Ventures, and a leading voice in trauma recovery and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Bianca unpacks the silent epidemic of "performative confidence" and walks us through how trauma shapes beliefs like “I'm not good enough.” She shares how CBT can help untangle those deep-rooted narratives and provides actionable tools for self-awareness, emotional safety, and self-empowerment. This is a must-listen if you've ever struggled with self-doubt, perfectionism, or silently questioned your worth.   About the Guest:Bianca Thomas, LMHC is the co-founder of Evolve Ventures and the Director of Therapy for Evolve Venture Technologies. With deep expertise in CBT and trauma-informed care, she has helped hundreds of clients and thousands of listeners dismantle limiting beliefs and step into real, grounded confidence. Her podcast, Evolve Ventures, is a hub for healing, emotional intelligence, and growth-centered conversations.   Key Takeaways: Many high-functioning people silently battle the belief, “I'm not good enough.” Confidence isn't performance—it's embodiment, cultivated through daily inner work. CBT isn't about “thinking positive” but reframing core beliefs rooted in trauma. Exposure therapy and intentional reflection are key tools in healing. Healing is not about fixing yourself but finding yourself—with compassion.   Connect with Bianca Thomas:Website: www.evolveventurestech.comInstagram: @evolvewithbiancaFacebook, TikTok, and more via her site and social links   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this episode of the Victim Service Podcast, we explore the importance of trauma-informed care and its role in a survivor's healing journey. In the first segment, Tamara Nelson, LMHC and Certified Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapist will be discussing trauma-informed care – an understanding in the way that trauma affects the way a person thinks, feels and behaves. Trauma-informed care means creating a world that can foster growth, resiliency, and healing. It is also anticipating how trauma survivors may respond to our words and actions and doing our part to create a world that does not cause further harm. In the second segment, VSC Victim Advocate and Crisis Counselor Tish Olasande will be sharing what a trauma-informed crisis response looks like. At the Victim Service Center, Advocacy and Crisis Counselors are the first person that a victim meets with. There are several sessions the victim goes through – starting with an intake and other sessions include forming a crisis plan, creating personal goals and helping victims navigating the judicial system. Victim Advocates and Crisis Counselors help lay the foundation for the healing journey. Let's hold space, listen, learn and heal together.

In this deeply resonant conversation, Dr. Lori M. Nixon- Bethea, PhD, LPC, LMHC, NCC, ACSand I explore what it means to live through—and ultimately transcend—the slow burn of chronic disappointment. We begin by sharing the gulf between the lives we built and the dreams we once held, acknowledging the grief that comes from unmet expectations. Dr. Lori recounts her own journey from frustration and self‑reproach to a place of steadfast peace, grounded in the profound realization that life is co‑authored by God, not solely directed by our own hands.As she reflects on seasons when God felt silent, Dr. Lori offers compassionate wisdom: struggle can be a divine instructor, teaching us patience and attuning us to God's perfect timing rather than our hurried agendas. Together, we shed light on a common but overlooked phenomenon—high‑functioning grief. So many of us soldier on, outwardly composed yet inwardly fractured, deploying church‑speak and religious ritual as shields against our own pain.We unpack the phrase “I don't claim that,” often brandished as spiritual armor to deny reality—whether in physical health, mental well‑being, or relational struggle—and examine the hidden cost of such avoidance. Truthfulness, we agree, is the catalyst that begins genuine transformation. By naming our wounds instead of whitewashing them, we break the cycle of compounding trauma that festers when left unaddressed.Recognizing a gap in support systems, we advocate for expanded mental‑health resources and financial‑literacy programs within the church—initiatives that would not only fortify congregants but also protect pastors from burnout. Our dialogue then turns to gendered experiences of therapy: the unique obstacles men face when their struggles are minimized or dismissed, and the critical need for individual counseling before embarking on couples work. We consider how men and women can better bridge their differing emotional landscapes through open communication and mutual understanding.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation—to be honest about where we are, to lean into the hard truths, and to trust that, in our vulnerability, we begin the work of healing and renewal.About Dr. Lori M.

When a narcissist cheats, the affair often has little to do with love or connection. It's about power.   In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist Lauren LaRusso, LPC, LMHC, to unpack why narcissists have affairs and how their motivations are different from what most people expect. Why do they always seem to have someone waiting in the wings? Why is there so little remorse when they're caught? And why does the person who's been betrayed so often end up feeling like the one to blame?   Lauren and I talk about how narcissists use affairs to stay in control and protect their image. These betrayals aren't usually about emotional disconnection. They're about manipulation, dominance, and supply. We also get into what it's like for the person on the receiving end: the self-doubt, the confusion, the isolation. And we talk honestly about why leaving is so complicated. Sometimes there are kids involved. Sometimes it's about safety. Sometimes it's about survival.   If you've been through this, or you're still in it, I hope this conversation brings you clarity. You're not imagining it. You're not overreacting. And most importantly, you're not alone.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Narcissists Cheat 03:25 What Counts as an Affair 04:52 Gender Differences in Infidelity 12:06 Can an Affair Stabilize a Marriage? 16:47 Why People Don't Just Leave 23:24 Affairs in Narcissistic Relationships 27:38 The “Perfect” Narcissist and Secret Lives 30:10 Lack of Accountability 33:07 How Narcissistic Abuse Shows Up in Therapy 38:01 The Danger of Blaming the Betrayed Partner 40:07 Affairs as a Survival Strategy 42:03 Healing After Narcissistic Relationships   In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, ALL virtual courses AND apparel on my website are 20% off for the month of MAY with CODE: MHAM20 Explore on-demand courses here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Shop apparel here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/apparel   Links Connect with Lauren LaRusso, LPC, LMHC: website: www.theaffairconsultant.com Instagram @LaurenLaRusso   Connect with Dr. Z: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist https://www.youtube.com/@DrJaimeZuckerman Order my workbooks! *Find Your Calm / Find Good Habits* http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/books Get my FREE breathing exercise here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Have you ever experienced conflict in a relationship? Of course you have, because we all experience conflict in relationships. This is a normal part of life. Relationships can be messy, they can be difficult sometimes, they can be painful, but with the right tools, our relationships can, in fact, be healing, joyful, and places that make a life worth living. In today's podcast, we talk about managing relationships and what to do when we find ourselves being treated by other people. This can be very difficult, but it is important to remember that most often when someone is treating you poorly, it's not about you, it's about them. When true people treat you poorly. It's usually because of their unmanaged pain, anger, worldview, and hurt. This has been a healing lesson for me in my walk and in my relationships. Listen and share about how to maintain healthy relationships. In today's podcast we discuss 6 keys to better management of the relationships that are most important to you. In addition, we discuss thoughts from the therapy room and how I "the therapist" work to manage relationships and teach about relationships in therapy. God Bless! Crystal Ridlon, LMHC, LPC

In this episode, we delve into the grief experiences of children and teens with autism. Our guest, Jennifer Wiles, M.A., LMHC, BC-DMT, FT - Director of the HEARTplay Program and a dance movement therapist with decades of experience - joins us to discuss how children with autism process grief and how parents and others in their lives can support them. Drawing on her background in both nonverbal forms of expression and grief support, Jennifer shares compassionate, practical insights rooted in her work with families. This conversation is both timely and essential, especially during Autism Acceptance Month, as it highlights the importance of expanding how we understand and support grief beyond more traditional approaches rooted in words.  We discuss:   The importance of using direct, concrete language when talking about death  Common misconceptions about how kids with autism express grief  Why behaviors often interpreted as indifference may be expressions of deep emotion  How sensory overload and disrupted routines can intensify grief reactions  The powerful role of nonverbal communication—movement, gesture, rhythm, and ritual—in grief expression  How social stories and structured activities can prepare kids for events like funerals  Grief rituals for significant days like anniversaries and birthdays  The impact of other losses, including changes in routine, missed milestones, and the death of service animals  Resources mentioned:  Toolkit from the National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG): A resource for supporting children of all abilities who are grieving Books:  I Have a Question About... series by Meredith Polsky & Arlen Gaines  Understanding Death and Illness and What They Teach About Life by Catherine Faherty  A Kids Book About Grief by Brennan Wood  HEARTplay Program: Free downloadable social stories and grief support  Have feedback or a story to share?

Today Dr. Beth interviews Jordanne Sculler, a therapist who specializes in relationships, approaching her clients with a “ tough yet compassionate style”.  She challenges her clients to look in the mirror at themselves rather than pointing their finger at others in an effort to “bring the work back to them.” She also challenges the delusion that relationships can be perfect. For her, the heart of effective therapy requires two components: building  a strong bond and challenging clients with pushback. Jordanne says that her hope/goal for her clients (and all people) is 1) to be completely ourselves, 2) to be loved for exactly who we are, and 3) to be healed through this process. Enjoy this conversation with Jordanne and Dr. Beth regarding relationships. Learn more about Jordanne HERE and follow her on Instagram HERE.
