In this episode, I interview Michelle Sherman, a couple and family psychologist and author of Loving Someone with a Mental Illness or History of Trauma and I'm Not Alone. We explore how to love and care for someone with a mental illness while also taking care of yourself. We discuss balancing both individuals' needs, setting limits and boundaries, and navigating the challenges and gifts that arise. Topics include homelessness, trauma, trust, social isolation, and the power of relationship, presence, acts of love, and social connection—both with your loved one and within broader support systems like NAMI. Michelle shares practical skills, tools, resources, and strategies for adults and teenagers living with someone who has a mental illness (such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depression, or PTSD) or a history of trauma. She also emphasizes the importance of things like sleep, nutrition, exercise, and education.A core backdrop to our conversation is my own recent, challenging yet beautiful journey with my brother, who has been struggling with mental illness, homelessness, and trauma. This conversation truly helped me, and I hope it provides support for you and your family as well.RESOURCESBOOKS- I Am Not Sick, I Don't Need Help by Xavier Amador- I'm Not Alone by Michelle Sherman and DeAnne Sherman- Loving Someone with a Mental Illness or History of Trauma by Michelle Sherman and DeAnne ShermanORGANIZATIONS- Minnesota Vikings- National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)- U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)PEOPLE- Xavier AmadorVOCABULARY- Anosognosia- Electronic benefit transfer (EBT)- First Episode Psychosis Program- Food bank- Minister of Loneliness**Connect and Learn More**website: seedsofhopebooks.com

Hey Warriors Unmasked family! Chuck Thuss here, bringing you a truly meaningful episode that's close to my heart. In Episode 170, I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Michelle Sherman and her mom, Deanne Sherman, two incredible women who are shining a much-needed light on an often-overlooked group: the supporters. Whether you're a spouse, sibling, friend, or child of someone managing mental health challenges or trauma, this episode is packed with insights, tools, and encouragement just for you. Dr. Sherman, a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience, and Deanne, a mental health advocate and teacher, share their wealth of knowledge and personal stories about how to navigate the complex role of supporting someone who is struggling. From the emotional toll it can take to the importance of self-care, their conversation is a game-changer for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, lonely, or burnt out while caring for someone they love. Key Takeaways from the Episode: Recognizing the Caregiver's Role: Often, those who support loved ones with mental health challenges feel invisible. Dr. Sherman and Deanne emphasize the importance of seeing and honoring the sacrifices these caregivers make. Self-Care is Essential, Not Optional: As Deanne beautifully states, taking care of yourself isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. Whether it's taking five minutes to breathe, delegating responsibilities, or finding a community of support, self-care is the foundation of being able to help others. Advocating for Support: Caregivers often feel guilty about asking for help, but Dr. Sherman reminds us that we can't pour from an empty cup. Whether it's leaning on a friend, joining a support group, or simply taking time for yourself, these small steps make a big difference. The Stigma Around Mental Illness: Michelle and Deanne also address the societal stigma that isolates both individuals managing mental illness and their families. They challenge listeners to lean in, rather than withdraw, when someone in their circle is struggling. Tools and Resources for Caregivers The Shermans recently co-authored two incredible books: Loving Someone with a Mental Illness or History of Trauma: Skills, Hope, and Strength for Your Journey I'm Not Alone: A Teen's Guide to Living with a Parent Who's Experienced a Mental Illness or History of Trauma These books are more than just informative—they're interactive guides packed with reflection exercises, practical skills, and stories from people who've been there. Whether you're an adult or a teen, you'll find actionable advice to help you navigate the challenges of supporting someone with mental health issues while maintaining your own well-being. You can find their books at Seeds of Hope Books or on Amazon. A Message to Caregivers One of the most powerful takeaways from this episode is the reminder that caregivers matter too. Dr. Sherman and Deanne's mantra, “We see you, we hear you, and we're with you,” resonates deeply. If you've ever felt alone in your journey, know that there is a community of people who understand and want to support you.

On the Emmy- and Peabody-winning series “The Bear,” Liza Colón-Zayas plays Tina Marrero, a cook at the Chicago restaurant at the center of the story. Tina and her fellow workers are in a constant struggle for the survival of their restaurant, and they fight just as fiercely with one another. Only at rare moments do we see them drop the tough exterior and show one another love or respect.Today, Colón-Zayas reads “A Web Between Her Body and Mine,” by Karen Paul. It's a Modern Love essay about two friends who also met at work, but have a different kind of bond: Karen has no problem showing affection to her best friend, Miriam. But after Miriam has a terrible accident, Karen finds herself in uncharted territory, not certain when, or how, to support her. It's a story Colón-Zayas says she relates to personally, and her reaction to it takes her by surprise.

​This episode of RadioEd is about suicide and how people can help those they love who might be experiencing suicidal thoughts. We know it's a heavy topic. In many cultures, suicide is taboo—and in some countries it's illegal. People don't like to talk about it. But, as University of Denver associate professor of social work Stacey Freedenthal says, asking a friend or family member if they're experiencing suicidal thoughts is really, really important.  Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among adults in the United States, with nearly 50,000 dying by suicide in 2021. In that same year, 12.3 million adults seriously thought about suicide.  And it's not just adults. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among people between the ages of 15 and 24 and the eighth leading cause of death among children aged 5 to 11.  So why should we ask our at-risk loved ones about potential thoughts of suicide? Freedenthal says she's often heard a slogan: “Prevent suicide with your ears.” And while it's not quite as simple as that, Freedenthal says listening to those we love is a good first step in stopping someone from taking their own life. In this episode, Freedenthal draws on her personal and professional experiences to share how best to support the people we love when they may be experiencing suicidal thoughts.  Stacey Freedenthal is an associate professor of social work at the University of Denver. A licensed clinical social worker, Freedenthal has a small psychotherapy and consulting practice in Denver. She also provides training and consultation to social workers and other professionals who treat clients at risk for suicide. Freedenthal has worked in the field of suicide prevention since 1994, when she volunteered at a suicide hotline. Subsequently, she earned a master's degree in social work from the University of Texas at Austin. She held clinical positions in psychiatric emergency settings before returning to school to earn a PhD in social work from Washington University in St. Louis.

161- Loving Someone with an Addiction: Navigating the "I Didn't Sign Up for This" Reality Supporting you through addiction's shadows with books, podcasts, courses, retreats and more. Feel empowered, regain happiness, and know you're not alone in our supportive community.

Being a caregiver to a person grappling with a serious mental illness like schizophrenia isn't easy. Schizophrenia is a complex and often misunderstood illness that affects those living with the illness as well as those who love and care for them. A caregiver's responsibility goes beyond mere physical care. Caregiving can take on many forms. On this episode of Look Again: Mental Illness Re-Examined, Paula Bomer shares her story about the complex realities some families face when a loved one has a serious mental illness. Paula's journey with her father's schizophrenia sheds light on the challenges, stigma, and the profound impact that serious mental illness can have on the whole family. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Your loved one might seem put together on the outside. Most men and women who drink too much or suffer from substance abuse disorder hold good jobs and earn a good living. Most of the time, they can help take care of the kids and household duties. And because they are so high-functioning, it can leave you feeling nervous about sharing with friends and family just how bad things have become. In this episode, we explore three of the reasons why we don't talk about addiction and our loved one.  https://michelleanderson.substack.com/

TW: Sensitive content. Talking to our tweens and teens about suicide is a really scary concept but with youth suicide rates on the rise, it's not a topic we can ignore. As parents, it's natural to feel intimidation or fear of the topic of suicide, but parental support is key to helping your kids with their own suicidal thoughts or helping them cope if someone they know is talking about it. Asking questions, creating a safe space, and knowing where to get help is a great place to start when navigating this topic with your kids. Stacey Freedenthal, PhD, LCSW, is a suicidologist, educator, writer, psychotherapist, consultant, and speaker. She has authored two books: Loving Someone with Suicidal Thoughts: What Family, Friends, and Partners Can Say and Do, and Helping the Suicidal Person: Tips and Techniques for Professionals. Dr. Freedenthal also created and maintains the website Speaking of Suicide. For more info please visit https://staceyfreedenthal.com/.Want our podcasts sent straight to your phone?

Entry 33. This is one of my favorite episodes to date. I have been living with mental illness (bipolar II + ocd) for almost half my life, and it's something that feels present in my closest relationships. I've also supported loved ones through their own difficult times of depression. Today on Prologues, I'm combining both sides of that experience to offer thoughts and advice on loving someone through depression - both loving someone going through depression, and being a good partner to someone else when I'm depressed. I hope you enjoy this episode - if you like Prologues, it helps the show so much to give it a positive rating/review wherever you listen to your podcasts.

What happens when PTSD comes home? Today's conversation is with Lissa Figgens, a veteran army ranger spouse and now a mom to an active duty service member. Lissa is a Time Management Coach and has built a business around helping women who feel pulled in all directions. But she reached out to us, because her heart is for military spouses. She asked if she could share her story about living with someone who struggled and sometimes still struggles with the effects of PTSD.   She shares about: Not knowing that she was ever going to become a military wife Not knowing where to go to get the resources What she learned about Four keys to helping a loved one who is dealing with mental health challenges And what she and her husband are now doing to shine a light on mental wellness and suicide prevention Lissa never thought mental health was going to impact her family. She thought she was gaining knowledge that she would eventually be able to use to help someone else, but it was her friends who ultimately supported her and helped her get the resources and tools she and her husband needed.   If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, we encourage you to seek professional help and remember that you are not alone.   Better Together, Christine   MENTIONS   Learn More About Fight Oar Die https://fod23.org https://dot.cards/fod23   Connect with Lissa https://redeemhertime.com   FEELING STUCK?

So often, we think we are being loving towards someone - when really, we are pursuing our own agenda of loving them with strings attached. We love in order to get something in return, and then feel secretly resentful when things don't go our way. So instead, I'm sharing how to love someone in a way that feels pure and open-hearted.We'll cover:the importance of gratitude voicing appreciation and recognition of someone's contributionhow to accept someone rather than control or change themtaking responsibility for your own happinessstaying curious about your partner's inner worldFurther Links & Resources Apply for my 6-month Homecoming Mastermind Download the free guide: Attachment 101 Follow me on Instagram: @stephanie__rigg & @onattachment Visit my website

Episode 132: In today's interview, Stacey and I talk about how she drew on her personal and professional experiences to write a book for families, friends and parents of someone who is suicidal. She talks about why and how families can create support teams, when and why it might not be appropriate to reach out to others, and how to navigate reaching out even when the suicidal person doesn't want you to. We talked about how to find support on social networks like Facebook. She talks about how friends and family can feel manipulated by a suicidal loved one, even if the suicidal person isn't being manipulative. Throughout the interview, Stacey speaks to families AND social workers. For example, in her book she takes the classic therapy phrase "active listening" and suggests that for families we call it "brave listening." I love that. Active listening is so professional. If you're listening to your kid or your partner or your parent talk about how they don't want to live any more, you're brave listening... that's what it is.
