What happens when social workers, therapists and caregivers are expected to support everyone else while navigating political instability, financial pressure and burnout themselves?In this episode of The Social Work Rants Podcast®, host Bas Moreno, LMSW, CFSW, reconnects with licensed clinical social worker, therapist, speaker and nonprofit founder Marvin Toliver, LCSW.Marvin discusses his private practice, Reimagine Culture LLC, and his nonprofit organization, Dear Black Man, You Good?, which works to improve the mental health and overall wellness of Black men through radical education, community care, healing groups and nontraditional wellness experiences.The conversation explores Black masculinity, homophobia, HIV stigma, social work entrepreneurship, private practice, clinical supervision, decolonizing therapy and the emotional cost of helping others during difficult political and economic times.Marvin also reflects on his deeply personal TEDx talk about Black masculinity, sexuality, homophobia and his HIV diagnosis.

[Content Warning]: Discussions of childhood trauma, family violence, compulsive coping behaviors, religious and cultural trauma tied to LGBTQ identity and shame, and grief following the death of a parent. What happens when the anger you've been taught to suppress finally has somewhere to go? In this episode of Trauma Interrupted, Jan Broberg sits down with Devin Scott, LMSW, NBC-HWC, and founder of Find Your Meaning, to talk about the parts of trauma recovery that don't get talked about enough: rage, disgust, and the long, non-linear road back to an authentic self. Devin brings both clinical training and lived experience to this conversation, walking through why anger needs to be permissioned before it can be processed, how a child's disbelief from the adults around them can turn PTSD into complex PTSD, and why the coping strategies that once kept us safe often resemble pieces of who we really are underneath. The conversation moves through breathwork and embodied consent, Buddhist and yogic frameworks for integrating mind and body, the double bind many LGBTQ people face between social conformity and countercultural pressure, and in one of the episode's most tender turns, what it means to make new meaning after profound loss. This is a conversation about slowing down, trusting the body, and learning that healing isn't a straight line toward feeling nothing. It's learning to read the pain, the anger, and the grief as information, and building a life that can hold all of it. Where To Find Devin M.

Can psychotherapy become more effective when it moves beyond the therapy office? In this episode, Will sits down with Atlanta psychotherapist Josh Wayne, LMSW, MPH, to explore nature-based psychotherapy and walk-and-talk therapy. Before becoming a therapist, Josh spent more than fifteen years as a naturalist, teaching people about wild plants, mushrooms, and ecology. Today, he integrates those experiences into his private practice, helping clients facing anxiety, grief, depression, chronic illness, and life transitions reconnect with themselves through meaningful experiences outdoors. Josh also shares how his background in public health, foraging, and ecology has shaped his approach to mental health, along with insights into green burial, the connection between physical and emotional wellbeing, and why the natural world can become an important partner in healing. Whether you're a therapist, mental health professional, graduate student, or someone curious about outdoor therapy, ecotherapy, and the relationship between nature and mental health, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what lies beyond the therapy office. This podcast is supported by the White Mountain Adventure Institute (WMAI.org), where Dr. Will White helps individuals, leaders, and organizations navigate growth, change, and life transitions through coaching, consulting, and retreats.

This is the truth for all of us, and Lisa's observations based on her own IBS journey are incredible. Every one of you will walk away with a gem from this convo. Plus, I love talking to my friend.

In honor of #mentalhealthawareness month, this episode of the Social Work Rants podcast focuses on workplace wellness and burnout in the social work field. Basiliso and Kelecia Smith, MSW, LMSW, discuss how current workplace well-being programs often fail to address the actual needs of workers, citing a Harvard Business Review article that noted mental health needs and burnout continue to rise despite corporate spending on wellness programs. They explored the challenges of balancing caregiving responsibilities with work demands, particularly for the 63 million Americans who are caregivers. The conversation covered how administrative burdens, high client volumes, and inflexible work structures contribute to clinician burnout, with both participants sharing personal experiences of long commutes and unsustainable work schedules.

Song: Love Wears the Crown Music by: Maggie Wheeler Song Learning Time Stamps: Start of teaching: 00:03:19 Start of reprise: 00:27:13 Notes: I'm visiting Carol Bardenstein and TatiAnah Thunberg, and Carol shares a song by Maggie Wheeler. "Love Wears the Crown" felt to Carol like the perfect song for a No Kings march, and as she teaches it to us, she talks a little about the ways she adapted it for singing in crowds without time to learn nuance... and TatiAnah and I learn it on the spot. I play with harmonies (some more successfully than others, natch!) -- and we reprise it with Carol's whole song circle, so if you're ready to join a crowd, it's time! I loved hearing about the ways these two songleaders are being led by love into interweaving their work and including folk in their circles. There's bounty here!

He spoke about a composition for 50 trumpets titled 'Walls Will Fall - The 49 Trumpets of Jericho' by Mazen Kerbaj. The musicians gathered in a defunct water reservoir in Berlin. Mazen says, 'According to the old testament, Jericho's walls collapsed under the sound of seven trumpeters, blowing their horns for seven days while circling around the city. Far from the religious background of the story, it is the idea of music breaking walls and barriers that is central to this composition.' The participating trumpet players came from from Australia, Austria, Cuba, Denmark, England, Germany, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Somalia, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Turkey and the United States. This story and this work deeply inspired me. I wrote LOVE WEARS THE CROWN to invoke the power of music, the power of voices gathered to dissolve barriers, and to dismantle the walls of hatred and injustice." https://mazenkerbaj.bandcamp.com/album/walls-will-fall-the-49-trumpets-of-jericho TatiAnah's websites: https://www.VocalWilds.com https://www.SpiritMoves.Us Nuts & Bolts: 2:2, minor, unison with call and response section, optional harmonies Join this community of people who love to use song to help navigate life?

Your 7-year-old is melting down, your teen won't drive, and your 20-year-old won't leave the house… what is going on?I'm joined by Sissy Goff and David Thomas—child counselors with 30+ years of experience—to break down what's really happening with kids today. Anxiety is up, independence is down, and even with more support than ever, kids are feeling less capable.

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of how people think, reflect, and process their lives. But what role should it actually play in mental health?In this episode, Kristin Sunanta sits down with therapist and technology expert Jeremy G. Schneider to explore the evolving relationship between AI and therapy. Jeremy is a licensed marriage and family therapist, trauma-informed mental health coach, and former chief technology officer who now works at the intersection of emotional wellness and human-centered technology. Together, they explore how tools like ChatGPT can function as a kind of “thinking mirror” — reflecting our thoughts back to us and helping us notice patterns in the way we process emotions, relationships, and decisions. Rather than replacing therapists, AI may become a powerful companion tool for reflection, journaling, and practicing psychological skills like self-awareness and boundaries. Kristin and Jeremy discuss the opportunities, the risks, and why learning to use AI with intention and agency may become an important part of mental health in the years ahead.In this episode they explore:• how AI can support emotional reflection and interactive journaling• why some therapists are wary of AI — and why that may change• the concept of AI as a “thinking mirror” for understanding our own minds• how people can use AI safely while maintaining self-awareness and agency• how emerging tools may reshape therapy and personal growthJeremy also hosts free educational classes on Meetup where he teaches people how to thoughtfully and safely use AI tools like ChatGPT for reflection, emotional insight, and personal growth. He also writes about artificial intelligence, therapy, and mental health for Psychology Today.Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/buildonyourstrengths/events/313301636/Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/jeremy-g-schneider-lmsw-mftLearn more about Jeremy's work, workshops, and writing:https://buildonyourstrengths.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

Creating a Family: Talk about Infertility, Adoption & Foster Care
Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Is the idea of attachment parenting new to you and your family? Or could you use a refresher on what secure attachment is and why it matters? Listen to this conversation with Samantha Farris, LMSW, from the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development. She's helping us understand the basics of building secure attachment between parent and child to strengthen our families.In this episode, we talk about:How would you describe attachment in the simplest, most hopeful way for a caregiver who's new to the idea of parent/child attachment? Or who may feel overwhelmed by what they've heard and are unsure where to start or start over?Can you walk us through an overview of the attachment cycle and how it typically develops in infancy and early childhood?What are some everyday signs caregivers would see that indicate a secure attachment is developing? (even if it's not “perfect”)Why does attachment matter so much — not just in childhood, but across a person's lifespan?What happens in the brain or nervous system when a child feels securely connected versus chronically disconnected?How does adding the practice of being “trauma-informed” change a parent or caregiver's approach to forging that connection with their adopted or foster child?What are the types of experiences or stressors that kids in our (adoptive, foster, relative caregiving) community may interrupt the natural flow of attachment development?What are the different attachment profiles or styles, in addition to secure attachment?What are three common signs that a child might be struggling with attachment?How might attachment challenges show up differently in toddlers vs school-age children vs. teens?When a child comes with a history of instability, what helps establish a sense of safety and a foundation of trust? What are three things newly adoptive or foster parents can do to nurture attachment in the early days of meeting or welcoming a child home?When a child needs professional help for attachment challenges, what kinds of therapy or supports have you seen be most healing?If a parent feels disconnected, what are two things they can do starting today to begin building attachment?What is one piece of advice you'd give to a brand-new parent or caregiver who has never had to think intentionally about forming attachment before listening to this?Support the showPlease leave us a rating or review.
