Caregiving doesn't just happen in the current moment - it brings old family roles that we've been playing out since childhood back to life. The "responsible one" burns out, and the "favorite" expects everyone to defer to them. The "ghost" fades into the background, and the "rebel" resists every decision. In this episode Dr. Delia Chiaramonte explores the hidden scripts that siblings carry into caregiving, why they cause so much conflict, and how you can step out of those roles instead of letting them cause stress and chaos.Once you see your "script" you can start to write a new one.What role do you play?www.integrativepalliative.comCoping Courageously: A Heart-Centered Guide for Navigating a Loved One's Illness Without Losing Yourself is available here: www.copingcourageously.com Please review this podcast wherever you listen and forward your favorite episode to a friend!

Loved Ones – the Happy Place Book Club pick for September – tells the story of Julia, whose first love Gabe dies aged 29, launching her into a world-wide quest to recover the possessions he left with friends and acquaintances across the world. It also brings her into contact with the last woman Gabe loved...In this chat, Fearne and author Aisha Muharrar wonder what would happen if you met others who had dated the same person as you. Would you get on and have loads in common? Or would there be intense jealousy? They also explore the strange idea that different people know and love very different sides of you.Aisha was a script writer on TV show Parks and Recreation, and she brings that comedy and levity to the messy topic of grief in Loved Ones. Writing her debut novel was very much a new challenge though – Aisha explains to Fearne why she pretty much had to re-write the whole book!Enter our competition with Bookshop.org to be in with a chance of winning books for life here: https://woobox.com/9jfwesThank you to Fourth Estate for the use of Loved One audiobook, narrated by Emma Ladji.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like: Book Club Meets: Cally Beaton Book Club Meets: Emily Henry Book Club Meets: Lorna Tucker Hosted on Acast.

Psychologists warn that the use of tracking apps like Life360 and FindMyPhone can normalise constant monitoring, which may start in families but spill into intimate partner relationships, potentially leading to controlling and coercive behaviours. But how do we know if tracking those we love is beneficial or problematic? And if it's the latter, how do we address it?

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
Navigating Food, Body Image, and GLP-1 Medications: An Interview with Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C Therapists are seeing more clients struggling with confusing medical advice, new medications, and diet culture messages that impact their relationship with food and body. In this conversation, Curt and Katie talk with Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C about how therapists can examine their own biases, support clients navigating restrictive medical guidance, and encourage healthier, more intuitive approaches to eating. About Our Guest: Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C Robyn began her career at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles as the in-patient dietitian in the Department of Cardiology. Over the last twenty-eight years she has developed her own private practice in Los Angeles, CA. She is a contributing author and is a nationally and internationally known registered dietitian nutritionist. She has been quoted in The New York Times, The Huffington Post, and Vogue. She has been on national television as the eating disorder expert on The Insider. Robyn is the author of The Eating Disorder Trap: A Guide for Clinicians and Loved Ones, Co-author of the online course Your Recovery Resource, and the host of The Eating Disorder Trap Podcast. Key Takeaways for Therapists Therapists must examine their own food and body biases to avoid unintentional harm to clients. Many physicians have minimal training in dietetics and may give inadequate advice. Clients can advocate for themselves in medical settings, including refusing to be weighed. GLP-1 medications may reduce appetite but can cause malnutrition, fatigue, and bone/muscle loss. Intuitive eating offers a path back to a healthier, more trusting relationship with food.

We welcome Jill Amy Sager—an award-winning author, public speaker, intuitive Tarot reader, and spiritual channel whose story is as inspiring as it is transformative. Jill's journey began in the late 1970s when she first studied Tarot, never imagining that it would lead her to channel wisdom from the Universe—what she lovingly calls “Guidance.” Over time, her gift as a spiritual medium grew, and today she serves an international clientele, offering clarity, healing, and connection through the Tarot and intuitive messages. Born with a physical disability, Jill spent much of her childhood in hospitals, facing the stigma of being a disabled child in the 1960s. What once left her feeling unworthy ultimately became the foundation of her strength. She credits the wisdom of the Tarot and the love of Universal Guidance for transforming her self-image and helping her embrace a life of confidence and purpose. Her creative journey is just as remarkable. Once a percussionist, Jill became an author when her book Beginning Hand Drumming: A Guide to Recreation and Wellness was published by Carl Fischer Music. Since then, her work has been featured in outlets such as Women Writers, Women's Books, Story Circle, Awakened Magazine, The Register Guard, Silver Birch Press, Authority Magazine, and The Power of Each Breath: A Disabled Women's Anthology. In this episode, Jill shares: How Tarot can be a tool for empowerment and spiritual guidance Her experience of overcoming stigma and disability to embrace her worth The evolution from musician to writer to intuitive healer How “Guidance” continues to shape her life and inspire her global community Join us for an uplifting conversation about resilience, spirituality, and the transformative power of trusting Universal wisdom.

Show Notes Is it really possible to live again after loss — and not just survive, but thrive? In this honest episode, I walk through my own journey of grief and how I slowly moved from despair, to questioning, to discovering purpose again. I'll share what helped (and what didn't), the surrender process that changed everything, and two powerful scriptures that reframed how I see my future. If you're struggling to believe in life after loss — this episode is for you. There is hope. And there is purpose. It may not look like what you had planned, but it might just become more beautiful than you imagined.

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and today's conversation is tender, raw, and full of hope. I'm sitting down with my dear friend who lost her brother to suicide over 30 years ago. Together we talk about the weight of that loss, how grief has shaped her life, and the ways she has found resilience and meaning over the years. In this episode we explore: What it's like to navigate the first days and years after losing a loved one to suicide. How to honor and keep alive the memory of someone we love while still moving forward with life. The role of compassion, rituals, and connection in carrying grief with grace. What helps and what hurts when supporting someone who is grieving. Where hope can be found, even in the aftermath of devastating loss. Whether you have personally lost someone to suicide, are supporting a loved one through grief, or want to better understand how to show up for others, this conversation offers honesty and encouragement. My guest's story reminds us that though grief changes us, it can also teach us resilience, deepen our compassion, and help us live with more love.

Coming Up for Air - Families Speak to Families about Addiction
Worry is universal, yet it's also damaging to ourselves and our relationships. Suzanne aptly refers to the “chem trails” we put out when we're in a state of anxiety-fear-worry. Jody remarks that worrying and the energy it gives off “is the biggest repellent… when I'm in that state, I am sending all the wrong signals out… .” She shares that realizing this was “one of the initial catalysts to say, I really need to work on this.” But how do we unlearn these ingrained habits and behaviors? The Families Speak co-hosts do a deep dive into worrying, and share their experience with worry as the parents of Loved Ones with substance use and mental health struggles. Hear how CRAFT helped them put new patterns into place.Read Isabel's 2018 post entitled "Does Worry Prove I Love You." https://alliesinrecovery.net/does-worrying-prove-i-love-you/** Starting in August of 2025, the support group that Kayla facilitates will be offered on a sliding scale.Wednesdays at 6:30pm ETEmail kaylacraftgroup@gmail.com to join or learn more(Cost should not be a barrier— please reach out if you're interested) **In our FAMILIES Speak series, psychotherapist Kayla Solomon invites members from the support group she facilitates for Allies in Recovery to share their experiences navigating addiction in the family.

Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ What if everything you've been taught about death is wrong? Medical intuitive and psychic medium Julie Ryan has spent 30 years connecting with spirits and watching thousands of people transition. Her message will shock you: everyone goes to heaven—even people you think don't deserve it. Your deceased loved ones are around you right now, and you can actually communicate with them. Julie breaks down the 12 phases every soul goes through when dying, reveals why there are no "evil spirits," and shows you how to tap into your own intuitive abilities that you've had since childhood. Whether you're grieving, afraid of death, or curious about the afterlife, this conversation offers profound comfort and a radically different perspective on what happens when we die. In this episode, you'll learn: • The 12 phases of transition: exactly what happens when someone dies, from spirit leaving the body through angelic escort to heaven—validated by 5th-century prayers and modern physics • Why everyone goes to heaven: no exceptions, no judgment—all spirits are pure love, and the "bad" personality traits stay with the body when we die • How to communicate with deceased loved ones: your head is like a satellite dish—think of them and they respond instantly with the first thought that comes to mind • The truth about "evil spirits": they don't exist—what people think are demons are actually lost souls looking for loved ones, often reincarnated family members • Why children see ghosts until age 6-7: we're all born intuitive, but adults teach kids to shut it down by saying "it's just imagination" • The emotional roots of cancer: people who are great at giving but terrible at receiving—illness forces them to accept care they've always refused • How to distinguish real spirit communication from your own thoughts: if it feels neutral or good, it's them; if it feels bad, rephrase your question • Your innate healing abilities: everyone can heal themselves energetically—Julie teaches people to see inside bodies and connect with spirits in just one weekend • Why near-death experiences differ from actual death: NDEs are like spiritual snapshots, while real transition involves specific angelic assistance and deceased family greeting you Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:57 - Rapid Fire Questions 8:05 - From Medical Device Inventor to Psychic Medium 14:07 - Why Children See Spirits (And Adults Lose This Ability) 18:01 - How to Connect with Deceased Loved Ones Through Dreams 22:08 - First Experience Seeing Inside Human Bodies as Medical Intuitive 29:08 - The Truth About Ghosts vs Evil Spirits 35:33 - Pope Clement's Message: Teaching the World About Death 44:39 - The 12 Phases of Death Transition Explained 59:02 - Live Reading: Connecting with Christian's Deceased Mother 1:05:55 - Cancer's Emotional Root: The Inability to Receive 1:13:16 - Upcoming Training & Resources for Developing Psychic Abilities
Setting boundaries can feel challenging, especially when it involves people you care about—whether it's a spouse, family, friends, or religious leaders. In this episode, we revisit an important discussion about setting healthy boundaries while overcoming pornography. Transparency is crucial in building trust, especially with your spouse, but it's equally important to protect your emotional and spiritual well-being. In this episode, we discuss how to draw the line between honesty and self-protection, how to set boundaries that nurture your recovery, and why spiritual maturity is essential for maintaining healthy relationships. You'll hear practical advice on how to handle disclosure conversations, manage well-meaning but challenging check-ins, and establish healthy boundaries in every aspect of your life.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://centerforovercoming.com/post/boundaries-loved-ones-religious-leaders
Everyone wants the war in Gaza to end. The reason the war is not over is because about 50 people are still being held hostage by Hamas. Twenty of them are alive, but on the brink of death. About 30 of them have already been killed, and their bodies remain in Hamas captivity. There are differing opinions on the best way to bring them home: continue the ground war in Gaza, or take the partial deal put forward by Qatar and Egypt—which includes a 60-day ceasefire and the release of 10 living hostages and 18 bodies in exchange for hundreds of security prisoners. This war is one where everyone has an opinion. But in our view, no opinion matters more than those of the families whose loved ones, including their children, are living in Hamas terror tunnels. These families are in a collective debate about the best way to bring their loved ones home. So we want to play a really special episode from Conversations with Coleman that illuminates these differences, and showcases arguably the largest debate in Israeli society today. Coleman Hughes sat down with three hostage families: Tzvika Mor, the father of Eitan Mor, a 23-year-old security guard at the Nova Music Festival taken by Hamas; Talik Gvili, the mother of Ran Gvili, who on October 7 leaped into action and fought Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz Alumim;and Dalia Cusnir, the sister-in-law of brothers Iair and Eitan Horn. Iair Horn was released, and Eitan Horn remains in Hamas custody. Today, their families tell their stories and explain what they think is the best way to bring their family members home.
