In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Nisha Patel, LPC—licensed professional counselor, speaker, and founder of The Nisha. Together, they explore the deeper layers of addiction recovery, mindfulness, and what it truly means to live in alignment. Nisha shares her personal journey of 16+ years of sobriety, blending science and spirituality through tools like DBT, brainspotting, hypnotherapy, and Reiki. This honest conversation unpacks how healing is more than stopping behaviors—it's reconnecting with core values, purpose, and self. Whether you're navigating addiction, burnout, or simply feeling disconnected, this episode offers actionable insights on reclaiming your life. About the Guest:Nisha Patel, LPC, is a therapist, sovereignty expert, and speaker with over 16 years of sobriety. She empowers individuals to heal, align with their values, and create a meaningful life using a unique mix of evidence-based therapy and holistic healing practices. Key Takeaways: Addiction recovery isn't just about stopping; it's about replacing, healing, and aligning with your core values. Mindfulness and meditation start small—sometimes with just one quiet minute. True alignment means living in integrity with your values, not society's expectations. Healing work requires discipline—but in the right direction, with the right tools. “There's no one-size-fits-all path to healing—what works for others might not work for you.”   Connect with Nisha:Instagram: @nishapatelcoachingWebsite: https://thenishe.com/ Email: nisha@nishatheniche.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode, Colin Rule interviews David Mandel, MA, LPC, the creator of the Safe & Together Model, a transformational approach to changing how systems and practitioners respond to domestic abuse when children are involved. With more than 35 years of experience in the domestic violence and child welfare fields, he has identified how a perpetrator pattern–based approach can improve the ability to partner with survivors, intervene with perpetrators as parents, and improve outcomes for children. David is also the founder of the Safe & Together Institute, which works with governments and NGOs across the globe, including North America, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Through their live training, organizational consulting, online learning, and trainer certification, the Safe & Together Institute provides organizations and systems with a wide range of practice change tools. The Model has proven its relevance to multiple sectors, including family court, substance use, law enforcement, mental health, multi-agency efforts, and other disciplines. David has written or co-written numerous journal articles, book chapters, and position papers, including his most recent one on the alignment of the Safe & Together Model with the children's best interest framework. The Institute's work is regularly the subject of research studies, including a current project examining the relevance of the Model in a First Nation context in Australia. He has just published his first book, Stop Blaming Mothers and Ignoring Fathers: How to Transform the Way We Keep Children Safe from Domestic Violence, which is available online through Amazon.com.

We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. This podcast episode focuses on the critical concept of "timing" in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), specifically when and how therapists should "play it" during therapeutic sessions. Hosts Dr. James Hawkins and Dr. Ryan Reyna discuss the importance of recognizing and responding to vulnerable emotions and caregiving moments in couples therapy. Main Points: Key Ingredients of a Secure Bond Vulnerable, live emotion Accessible, responsive, and engaged (ARE) caregiving system Timing Considerations Earlier in therapy: Play moments quickly (less room for vulnerability) Later in therapy: More space to let emotions develop Clinical decision-making about when to intervene Critical Moments to "Play It" When vulnerable emotion emerges When a caregiving response is present Before the moment passes or the cycle interrupts vulnerability Risks of Not Playing the Moment Clients may exit the vulnerable space Emotional opportunities can be lost Cycle of interaction can revert to negative patterns Practical Advice Catch and recognize emotional moments Make clinical decisions about intervention Prioritize creating space for emotional connection The episode includes a role-play demonstration illustrating these principles, emphasizing the importance of therapist attunement and timely intervention.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. Overview and Themes: This podcast episode is the finale of the "Resistant Client Series," focusing on how therapists can transform client resistance into opportunities for deeper emotional connection and healing. Main Themes: 1. Understanding Resistance as Protective Behavior - Resistance isn't a problem to eliminate, but a weight-bearing mechanism protecting relationship dynamics - Every resistant stance has an attachment significance - Clients aren't being difficult; they're managing deep emotional fears 2. Theory of Change in EFT - Replace resistance with corrective emotional experiences - Help clients make clear emotional signals - Enable partners to provide compassionate comfort - Support clients in truly receiving and embodying that comfort 3. Clinical Wisdom - Don't lose hope with challenging clients - Trust the attachment map - Be intentional about vulnerability in therapeutic interventions - Focus on helping clients understand their own emotional experiences Closing Summary: In the intricate dance of human connection, resistance is not an obstacle, but a doorway. Each defensive stance whispers a profound story of fear, longing, and the desperate hope to be truly seen and loved. As therapists, our sacred work is not to dismantle these protective walls, but to gently illuminate the tender heart beating behind them. We are architects of hope, helping couples rediscover the language of vulnerability, transforming cycles of pain into rhythms of connection. Every moment of resistance carries within it the seed of healing - waiting to be understood, honored, and transformed. Keep pushing the leading edge. Keep believing in love's remarkable capacity to heal. Upcoming events, if you would like to train with James or Ryan… You can do a joint Core Skills (Colorado) with Lisa J.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Jacqueline Rushin. "The Hidden Hand: How Human Decisions Behind Rapid Technology Deployments Are Driving a Mental Health Crisis." In a world increasingly powered by artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics, the promise of a brighter, more efficient future has never seemed closer. Yet, beneath the surface of technological progress lies an unsettling reality: the very systems designed to enhance our lives are also reshaping the essence of what it means to be human—and not always for the better.The Hidden Hand pulls back the curtain on the unseen forces—corporate priorities, societal values, and governmental policies—that drive technological change, often at the expense of mental health, self-identity, and social connection. With over 65 years of combined experience in mental health, addictions counseling, technology, ministry, and holistic health, authors Dr. Jacqueline Rushin and Patrice Alexander, LPC deliver a deeply personal, thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between innovation and humanity.Through compelling case studies, statistics, and profound insights, this book exposes: The mental health toll of technological displacement and job loss. How AI-driven systems distort self-identity and erode genuine human connection. The rising epidemic of tech addiction and its impact on individuals and families. The ethical dilemmas of a world where efficiency often trumps empathy. The red flags warning us of these issues and many more. But this is not just a story of challenges—it is also a call to action. The Hidden Hand empowers readers with the tools to navigate a digital age, offering practical strategies to protect mental health, preserve self-worth, and champion human-centric solutions. The Hidden Hand will inspire you to ask bold questions: Are we making choices that elevate humanity, or are we allowing profit and productivity to define our future? How can we reclaim the human element in a world increasingly dominated by machines?This book is not just an exposé—it’s prompts readers to reflect, recalibrate, and act. The Hidden Hand is essential reading for leaders, mental health professionals, technologists, and anyone who cares about safeguarding humanity in the age of AI. The future isn’t shaped by technology, rather by our decisions - the hidden hands. #AMI #BEST #STRAW #SHMS See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yet, beneath the surface of technological progress lies an unsettling reality: the very systems designed to enhance our lives are also reshaping the essence of what it means to be human—and not always for the better.The Hidden Hand pulls back the curtain on the unseen forces—corporate priorities, societal values, and governmental policies—that drive technological change, often at the expense of mental health, self-identity, and social connection. With over 65 years of combined experience in mental health, addictions counseling, technology, ministry, and holistic health, authors Dr. Jacqueline Rushin and Patrice Alexander, LPC deliver a deeply personal, thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between innovation and humanity.Through compelling case studies, statistics, and profound insights, this book exposes: The mental health toll of technological displacement and job loss. How AI-driven systems distort self-identity and erode genuine human connection. The rising epidemic of tech addiction and its impact on individuals and families. The ethical dilemmas of a world where efficiency often trumps empathy. The red flags warning us of these issues and many more. But this is not just a story of challenges—it is also a call to action. The Hidden Hand empowers readers with the tools to navigate a digital age, offering practical strategies to protect mental health, preserve self-worth, and champion human-centric solutions. The Hidden Hand will inspire you to ask bold questions: Are we making choices that elevate humanity, or are we allowing profit and productivity to define our future? How can we reclaim the human element in a world increasingly dominated by machines?This book is not just an exposé—it’s prompts readers to reflect, recalibrate, and act. The Hidden Hand is essential reading for leaders, mental health professionals, technologists, and anyone who cares about safeguarding humanity in the age of AI. The future isn’t shaped by technology, rather by our decisions - the hidden hands. #AMI #BEST #STRAW #SHMS Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
