If you've ever felt confused, second-guessed yourself in a relationship, or wondered if someone in your life is emotionally manipulating you, this episode is one you need to hear.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/dr-stephanie-sarkisOn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, I sat down with Dr. Stephanie Sarkis to talk about toxic relationships, gaslighting, and the real challenges of healing from emotional abuse. Stephanie is a licensed mental health counselor, a mediator, and an author of multiple books, including Gaslighting: Recognize Manipulative and Emotionally Abusive People—and Break Free. She's also a contributor to Forbes and Psychology Today, and she hosts her own podcast, Talking Brains. Basically, she knows her stuff.Stephanie shared how she was always the person friends came to for relationship advice, and after originally planning to work for CNN, she pivoted to counseling and never looked back. Her work, especially her books, are inspired by real-life experiences from her clients—many of whom struggle with gaslighting, ADHD, anxiety and depression. She said the feedback she gets from readers who've found the courage to leave toxic relationships is one of the most rewarding parts of her work.We talked a lot about gaslighting—what it is, how it works, and what it looks like. According to Stephanie, gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse designed to make you question your reality. It often starts small and escalates until you're isolated and unsure of your own thoughts. It can include things like hiding your stuff and blaming you for it, love-bombing you early on, then tearing you down, or pitting you against people close to you. She made it very clear: gaslighting is all about control.Stephanie also broke down the stages of gaslighting—idealization, devaluation and discard—and how those phases mess with your head. And if you're wondering whether narcissists are involved, the answer is yes—often. Especially the kind who never think they're the problem and rarely show up for therapy unless it's to blame someone else.We also talked about the trickiness of co-parenting with a gaslighter, especially if you can't go completely no-contact. Stephanie had practical advice for managing communication through apps like Our Family Wizard and Talking Parents, keeping interactions minimal and getting everything documented.When it comes to healing, Stephanie stressed the importance of therapy, support systems, and going completely no-contact if possible. She said that survivors often carry guilt and shame, especially when the abuser is a parent or partner. But it's okay to protect your peace. You don't owe anyone continued access to you—especially someone who's hurt you.The interview wasn't all heavy—we laughed about tone checkers for work emails, how pets can spot a toxic person before you can, and how important it is to find humor even when things are hard. Stephanie also shared her favorite poem (Richard Cory) and how it reminds her that we never really know what someone's going through.This conversation was real, honest and empowering—just what Mental Health Monday is all about.

If you're a parent, caregiver, teacher or just someone who cares about how kids grow up in a world that doesn't always make room for them, this episode is for you.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/leanne-tranIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, MommaFoxFire kicks off the first live Mental Health Monday interview of 2025 with psychologist Leanne Tran to talk about children, parenting, and mental health. Leanne brings years of experience working with families, especially those navigating autism, ADHD, and learning differences. She shares how her own physical disability gave her empathy for kids who feel different, and how that helped shape her career path.Leanne emphasizes that behavior isn't always a choice — especially in neurodivergent kids. A lot of parenting frustration comes from misunderstanding the why behind certain behaviors. For example, a kid with ADHD may not be “not listening” on purpose — they might genuinely be struggling to follow through. And when kids hear over and over that they're “difficult” or “not trying,” that can become part of their identity in harmful ways. Leanne's focus is on helping kids and parents find practical strategies that actually work, especially when the typical stuff falls flat.She talks about how early support can change a child's whole path. Without it, kids with ADHD or autism often develop anxiety or depression as secondary struggles. One major challenge? Access. Families in rural or underserved areas often wait way too long for help. That's why Leanne creates online content and resources — to make support more accessible no matter where a family lives.Another key piece of the conversation is about the difference in how kids act at school versus home. A lot of masking happens in classrooms, which means teachers might not see the same struggles parents deal with daily. Leanne urges collaboration between schools, professionals, and parents, especially when putting together individualized education plans. She also encourages parents to trust their gut and bring data — even just a list of behaviors — to professionals.When it comes to building resilience, Leanne reminds parents to take it one step at a time. Support your kids just enough so they can stretch and grow without getting overwhelmed. You don't have to overhaul everything overnight — just focus on the next right thing.Leanne also shares her favorite life hack, a quote she loves, and her passion for helping families avoid the generational trauma cycles so many of us grew up in. Her advice is clear: understanding your child and meeting them where they are isn't spoiling them — it's setting them up for long-term independence and happiness.This was a warm, honest conversation full of practical advice and hope for parents trying their best. If your kid is showing signs of something different, or if you're just feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone — and there's help out there.

Grief is a universal experience, impacting individuals regardless of age, and its effects on mental health can be profound. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael delves into this sensitive topic with Susana Calley, a licensed clinical social worker and the director at the Center for Hope and Healing under the Blue Ridge Hospice umbrella. Throughout the year-long series, Mental Health Mondays, Janet has focused on various mental health issues. This episode zeroes in on grief, exploring its impact on both adults and children. Susana emphasizes that grief does not discriminate by age; both young and old are susceptible to its effects. The discussion uncovers important aspects of grief and the necessary support systems for those going through it. Susana highlights the wide range of grief support services offered by Blue Ridge Hospice, which are available to anyone in the community, not just those directly associated with hospice care. These services include individual and family counseling, specialized groups, and camps dedicated to helping those in grief. One of the key takeaways is the importance of normalizing grief and providing a stable, nurturing environment for children dealing with loss. A major revelation for many is that Blue Ridge Hospice supports anyone who has experienced a loss, regardless of the circumstances. Susana notes that almost half of the individuals who seek counseling or group support are community members with no prior connection to hospice care. Grief support can take many forms, from individual counseling to group sessions that offer communal comfort and shared experiences. Susana explains the value of groups where individuals can meet others who have undergone similar experiences, thereby reducing feelings of isolation and fostering a sense of community. One topic that stands out in the conversation is the misconception about the stages of grief. Susana clarifies that these stages are not a one-size-fits-all process and have largely been debunked. Grief is highly individualized, influenced by various factors such as the relationship with the deceased and personal coping mechanisms. Understanding and addressing untreated or prolonged grief is crucial. Susana points out that persistent grief can lead to more serious mental health issues like depression, anxiety, or substance misuse. Recognizing these signs early and seeking appropriate counseling can make a significant difference. For those uncertain about how to support someone in grief, Susana offers practical advice: be honest, listen, and ask about the loved one. Avoid clichéd responses that can invalidate the griever's experience. The conversation also delves into children's grief, stressing that their process can differ significantly from adults and requires careful attention. Blue Ridge Hospice offers specialized services for children, including an annual camp and innovative programs like 'Adventures Through Grief,' which uses tabletop role-playing games to help teenagers process their loss. Susana stresses the importance of clear communication with children about death, offering strategies on how to approach the topic without causing additional fear or confusion. The Center for Hope and Healing plays a vital role in the community by providing resources and support for those dealing with grief. Their offerings include workshops, educational programs, and various counseling options available across different regions, making their support accessible to a broad audience. Susana also mentions an upcoming webcast focused on family dynamics and grief, aimed at professionals who support young people dealing with loss. This event highlights the need for strategic and sensitive approaches to grief within families. Wrapping up the conversation, Janet and Susana emphasize the exhaustive reach of Blue Ridge Hospice's services, which extend beyond Winchester and Frederick County to include several other areas. Those seeking support are encouraged to visit the Blue Ridge Hospice website for more information on available resources and how to connect with grief counseling services. For more details on their services and upcoming events, visit BlueRidgeHospice.org. The conversation ends on a hopeful note, encouraging anyone affected by grief to seek the support they need and reminding listeners that they are not alone in their journey.

New Show Mental Health Mondays. Every Monday, this virtual interactive series connects us with the fans, we check in on each other. Enjoy while we take you on a journey of good energy and fun

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Jessica Johnson, a licensed professional counselor, and manager of Behavioral Health Integration at Valley Health Behavioral Health Services. Mental Health Monday is a new series for 2025 aimed at addressing various mental health issues throughout the year. Janet expresses the unexpected and overwhelming need for such a series, especially in light of recent mass casualty events. Every month, the series will focus on different mental health topics, providing tips and strategies for self-care. Jessica brings a wealth of experience to the conversation, including her background in psychology, criminal justice, crisis intervention, and behavioral health. The discussion begins with the acknowledgment of the intense stress and anxiety that people are experiencing, exacerbated by recent tragedies like the helicopter/plane crash at both Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as well as in a Philadelphia neighborhood.  Jessica highlights that everyone reacts differently to trauma and stress, elaborating on the concept of vicarious trauma—absorbing others' trauma by hearing their stories. She discusses how social media and news coverage can heighten anxiety and fear, leading to a sense of helplessness and catastrophizing. Janet shares a personal anecdote about attending a court hearing that left her deeply shaken and fearful, illustrating how vicarious trauma can affect one's sense of safety and well-being. Jessica confirms this reaction is normal and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing such feelings. They explore how trauma and stress can manifest differently in individuals, depending on past experiences and personal resilience. Jessica explains the importance of staying in the present and developing coping mechanisms to manage anxiety and stress effectively. The conversation shifts to discussing the role of crisis intervention training (CIT) and the necessity of understanding that everyone's reactions to crises are valid and should be met with compassion rather than judgment. Janet and Jessica agree on the need for more empathy and support in society. Jessica provides practical tips for self-care, including recognizing when one is in crisis, writing down feelings, finding distractions, and understanding personal triggers. They discuss the importance of having a crisis plan and knowing when to seek professional help. Janet inquires about the process of seeing a therapist, noting that many people might find it intimidating. Jessica reassures listeners that therapy is a supportive, non-judgmental environment and encourages trying different therapists to find the right fit. They emphasize the availability of various therapy options, including online platforms.
