Today's episode explores two deeply human dimensions of genetic counseling- how we support families as they process complex genomic information over time and how people make meaning in the face of uncertainty. Both segments discuss how we can support people as they make sense of genetic information in their lives.   Segment 1: Putting control into parents' hands: Parent experiences with a genomic results e-booklet   Guest Bio: Shelin Adam is a Master's trained Genetic Counsellor and Clinical Assistant Professor working at the University of British Columbia Department of Medical Genetics, as well as the Division of Pediatric Neurology at BC Children's Hospital. Her research focus has been the application of new genetic and genomic technology. More specifically, she is interested in understanding the best ways to provide education, decision support and genetic counselling to families being offered genomic sequencing. Shelin has also been involved in looking at issues of equity and access for diverse families who face linguistic, cultural, geographic and economic issues when trying to obtain genetic services.   Key Takeaways: - A genomic results booklet to support parents after pediatric genomic testing. - Findings show improved understanding, communication, and advocacy through a take-home resource. - The study highlights challenges with accessibility, language, and timing of information delivery. - The discussion considers the booklet's role as a partial substitute for genetic counseling and future AI integration.   Segment 2: Exploring the principles of logotherapy in genetic counseling: Enhancing decision-making, adaptation, and justice   Guest Bios: Nour Chanouha, MS, CGC (she/her), emigrated from her home country of Lebanon in 2020 to pursue a career in genetic counseling. Nour graduated from the Northwestern Graduate Program in Genetic Counseling in 2022 and has since been practicing as a genetic counselor in the maternal-fetal medicine and reproductive endocrinology and infertility (IVF) clinics at the University of Iowa Health Care. Nour holds several leadership roles, including serving as a board member of the Arab Society of Genetic Counselors and co-Chair of its Education Committee, as well as co-Chair of the National Society of Genetic Counselors' (NSGC) International SIG Mentorship Program. She is also an active volunteer on multiple committees within the National Society of Genetic Counselors, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology. Nour is actively involved in research, education, and mentorship both within and beyond her institution and has been awarded the NSGC 2025 New Leader Award.   Nour's interest in logotherapy began early in her career. She decided to pursue training in logotherapy as a way to strengthen her counseling skills, enhance cultural competency, and better support patients navigating grief and loss, while also fostering personal and professional growth. When she is not reading Viktor Frankl's writings on the weekend, she enjoys cooking, traveling and volunteering with the Immigrant Welcome Network of Johnson County.   Kendra is a board-certified genetic counselor with 15 years of experience in reproductive genetics. She currently serves as the supervisor of prenatal genetic counseling at University of Iowa Health Care and is the founder of Allay Life, a private practice dedicated to supporting individuals and families navigating unexpected news in pregnancy. Kendra is deeply committed to advancing the practice of genetic counseling through education and mentorship, with a particular focus on the power of therapeutic relationships and counseling skills to enhance patient outcomes. She also provides peer and professional supervision for practicing genetic counselors and graduate students.   Key Takeaways: - This episode explores the use of logotherapy to support meaning-centered genetic counseling. - The discussion highlights how focusing on patient values can guide decision-making and coping. - Logotherapy presented as a practical clinical framework for navigating uncertainty, grief, and complex choices. - The conversation emphasizes its role in promoting patient autonomy, equity, and holistic care.

A conversation about war, propaganda, moral numbness, and what it takes to stay human and responsible in a collapsing public sphere. Recorded on 3 March 2026 (Day 4 of the US-Israel-Iran-Lebanon-GCC War)In this conversation, your host (Jay Humphries) and philosopher/psychologist Andreas (Dr Andreas Schreiber) begin with the language of war — pre-emption, deterrence, inevitability, and the way political language can make violence feel necessary, controlled, or already decided.From there, we move into something deeper: how repeated exposure to suffering changes us, how public trust collapses, how Europe and the West seem increasingly unable or unwilling to act independently, and how narrative itself becomes a trap.This is not just a conversation about geopolitics. It is also about meaning, morality, and responsibility. We talk about numbness after Gaza, double standards around civilian lives, the psychology of power, the failure of institutions, the roots of individualism, and what happens when technology, ideology, and fear begin to shape human consciousness more than truth does.At the centre of it all is one question:How do we stay human, connected, and responsible when the world around us is being explained through language that distances us from reality?For more details on Dr Andreas Schreiber:www.curavitae.eu/logotherapie-existenzanalyse/logotherapie/00:00 Frustration and Context 00:35 The Language of Preemption 03:46 Dystopian Wordplay 05:11 Precrime and the Policing Analogy 05:51 Numbness After Gaza 07:38 Double Standards and Civilian Lives 09:15 Negotiations Undermined 10:44 Regional Escalation 12:49 Nuclear Weapons as Deterrent 14:40 Nuclear Claims and the Iraq Echo 15:57 Gulf Destabilisation and Trade 18:54 War Momentum and Europe's Entry 22:01 Trust Collapse and UN Failure 23:11 Europe, NATO, and the Support Debate 25:19 The Reality of Regime Change 25:54 Germany and the Trust Crisis 26:14 Europe as Vassals? 28:04 NATO, Insults, and Compliance 28:55 Spain Breaks Ranks 30:14 Language and Narrative Traps 36:08 Inevitability and the Framing of War 38:35 Capitalism and the Roots of Individualism 44:59 Community, Balance, and the Tech Hijack 47:35 Secularisation and Lost Morality 50:24 Nietzsche and Self-Made Values 53:23 Power Corrupts Even Gurus 54:25 Energetic Connection and Responsibility Follow us on Instagram: @hocosoconversation and Linkedin: HoCoSo Conversation

Viktor Frankl is the psychotherapist who developed Logotherapy after surviving Auschwitz under the Nazi'sI first read this book years ago and so many things resonated, it really helped me at that time and I was inspired to study at his school, from which I now have an accreditation. Frankl is the first person I know of to articulate the connection between meaning and suffering with such a robust philosophy.

High achiever burnout often shows up as restlessness, not collapse. In this episode, Julie Holly explains why rest feels unsafe for high performers and how identity-level recalibration helps the nervous system relearn safety without speed.Why does rest feel uncomfortable — even threatening — for so many high-capacity humans?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores why high achievers often struggle to slow down, even after burnout, success, or external pressure has eased. For many leaders, rest doesn't feel restorative — it feels activating. The body tightens. The mind accelerates. Stillness feels wrong.This episode explains why.Drawing from nervous system science, predictive processing, and neuroception, Julie reveals how a dysregulated system can treat achievement like oxygen. When early experiences, leadership roles, or repeated responsibility taught the body that speed prevented problems and productivity created safety, the nervous system learned to equate motion with survival.The result is a familiar pattern:burnout recovery that still feels restlessdecision fatigue even during “downtime”role confusion when pressure liftssuccess without fulfillmentspiritual exhaustion masked as productivityJulie weaves in the work of Viktor Frankl, founder of Logotherapy, who discovered that when meaning anchors the nervous system, urgency loosens its grip. Frankl's insight helps reframe rest not as passivity, but as presence — a regulated state where clarity and purpose can emerge without constant speed.This episode does not offer another mindset trick or productivity hack. Instead, it introduces Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — not a surface-level solution, but the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. ILR helps the body relearn safety from alignment, not adrenaline.Faith-forward but invitational, this conversation reassures listeners that discomfort during rest is not failure — it's a system in transition, learning that belonging no longer has to be earned through motion.Today's Micro RecalibrationQuietly say to yourself:My body can learn safety without speed.Notice what happens in your body. No forcing. No fixing. Just awareness.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

High performance burnout doesn't always feel like collapse. Sometimes it feels like safety without direction. In this episode, Julie Holly explores why success can feel empty after pressure lifts and how identity-level recalibration restores meaning and movement.You did the work.The pressure eased.Your nervous system finally exhaled.So why does it still feel like something's missing?For many high-capacity humans, burnout recovery doesn't lead to instant fulfillment. It leads to a quieter, more unsettling question: If I'm no longer running on pressure… what am I moving toward now?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly names the experience few leaders talk about. When high performance no longer drives you, direction can feel unclear. Decision fatigue gives way to role confusion. Success looks good on paper, but inside it feels strangely flat.This isn't failure.It's identity coming back online.Julie introduces the concept of identity-based motivation and explains why peace alone doesn't create fulfillment. Safety restores capacity, but meaning restores movement. Without recalibrating who you are, even the healthiest systems eventually stall.Through the lens of psychology, nervous system regulation, and faith, this episode reframes ambition as something to be stewarded rather than sacrificed. You'll hear the powerful story of Viktor Frankl, founder of Logotherapy, whose psychological work on meaning sustained him through years in Nazi concentration camps. Long before Man's Search for Meaning became a book, meaning itself became how he survived.Julie also weaves in biblical wisdom through Nehemiah, who rebuilt the wall not from urgency or ego, but from discernment, prayer, and faithful persistence. Together, these stories reveal a deeper truth: real direction emerges when desire flows from alignment, not fear.If you've ever thought:“I should be happy, but I'm not”“Success feels empty now”“I'm not burned out, just… lost”“I don't know what I want anymore”This episode meets you exactly there.Today's Micro RecalibrationAsk yourself gently:If I'm not trying to prove anything… what do I genuinely want to contribute?Let this truth settle:I can want more from wholeness, not hunger.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

In this episode of the Meaning Project Podcast, Dr. Dan delves into the complex nature of addiction, sharing personal experiences and insights from his 25 years as a licensed clinical addictions counselor. He discusses the impact of relationships, trauma, and societal factors on addiction, as well as various treatment models and the importance of connection in recovery. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of addiction and the potential for healing through meaningful connections and alternative therapies.TakeawaysAddiction is prevalent in society and often linked to personal experiences.Relationships can significantly trigger relapses in individuals struggling with addiction.Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawals can be life-threatening.Many people seek to alter their reality through substances.The food industry contributes to addiction through addictive food products.Trauma in early life can lead to addiction later on.There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for addiction; various models exist.Connection and community play a crucial role in recovery from addiction.Understanding the science behind addiction can aid in treatment.Finding meaning and purpose can help individuals overcome addiction.

How are you doing?  No, seriously, how have you been doing lately?It seems, to me, that a lot of people are struggling, or unhappy, or just plain having a rough time.I had a client ask me recently, "Is anyone out there REALLY happy these days?"  My initial reaction was, "Well.... yeah."But some days I really wonder.  Last week was a rough one for that - wondering about people's happiness and overall wellbeing.  The Addiction Bug definitely struck hard in my office. And, that really seemed to effect me.  So I talked about it through the podcast.  I think it was a bit of a meandering - but hopefully there is some sense in it.  And, hopefully, you find something meaningful in listening.Footnote: the gentleman who went into treatment in California that I discuss here - I received the most heartwarming voicemail expressing his appreciation for our work together.  It was really beautiful.  I think it restored my faith in what we do, just a little.

In this episode of the Meaning Project Podcast, Dr. Dan engages in a profound conversation with Julian Bermudez, a psychedelic-assisted therapist. They explore the nuances of trauma, particularly the often-overlooked 'small T' trauma that affects many individuals.

The conversation also delves into the role of psychedelics in therapy, emphasizing the need for preparation and integration to achieve lasting change. Ultimately, Dr. Dan highlights the inherent wisdom within each person, encouraging listeners to embrace their journey of healing and self-discovery.To find out more about Julian and his work, go to http://www.psychedelic-integration.netTakeawaysMany people are experiencing difficulties and struggles in life.Healing often involves exploring the meaning and purpose behind our pain.Trauma can manifest in various ways, including anxiety and feelings of unsafety.Small T trauma can be just as impactful as big T trauma.The environment in which a child grows up significantly affects their development.Intergenerational trauma can pass down through families, affecting emotional health.Healthy attachments in early life are crucial for emotional well-being.Anger can serve as a signal for unmet needs and boundaries.Authenticity is often sacrificed for the sake of attachment in childhood.Self-awareness and curiosity about our emotions are key to healing.

Send us a textViktor Frankl's logotherapy fundamentally shifts how we approach therapy, focusing on the search for meaning rather than pleasure. Drawing from his harrowing experiences in concentration camps, Frankl established a psychotherapy model that emphasizes the importance of finding purpose amidst suffering. This episode dives deep into how logotherapy addresses existential vacuums many experience today, particularly those who appear successful yet feel unfulfilled. We explore intriguing concepts such as "Sunday neurosis," the emptiness felt by individuals after achievements, and how they relate to a lack of genuine connection to one's inner values. Frankl's philosophy redefines happiness by asserting that fulfillment emerges naturally when we pursue meaning in our lives. The conversation also covers the three pillars of logotherapy, which empower clients to take control of their lives by recognizing the freedom of will, the will to find meaning, and discovering that life holds meaning even in tragic circumstances. Throughout this episode, practical techniques like paradoxical intention and the mountain range exercise are discussed, allowing listeners to understand how therapy can inspire clients to confront their fears and shift focus towards meaningful engagements. With insights that resonate deeply with both therapists and clients, this discussion not only illuminates the heart of logotherapy but also provides valuable guidance for those seeking purpose. Join us for an enriching exploration that challenges the status quo of happiness and fulfillment, encouraging a proactive approach to meaning-making in everyday life.
