What does this mean for the delivery of behavioral and social services?

How do we progress with treatment based on the research of the last six years? In this session, Robert will introduce the latest research, outline how the brain reacts to both trauma and autism in the same way, and what this means in the real world for treatment services.

“When people come in and talk about stress, I find that it's actually anxiety they are facing.'” - Subrena Hicks Did you know that anxiety is the most common mental health issue in the world? Moreover, other studies say that 1 in 5 adults don't receive therapy services to address their mental health. In today's episode, Dr. Michelle Robin invites licensed therapist Subrena Hicks to share her mission on breaking the stigmas around mental health. She'll share insights about what she's been noticing with stress and anxiety today – and why there are repercussions in the body when we aren't able to understand which one we're experiencing. She'll also explain why many adults struggle with anxiety and why therapy can help them develop the right coping skills to lessen the buildup of anxiety in the body. Subrena ends the show with some tips around kids and mental health, providing some guidance on when parents should consider therapy for them. She'll discuss why we need to be teaching the younger generations that it's okay to start talking about what's going on, labeling their feelings, and finding someone outside of the family who can model these tools for them.

Last fall, Meghan was commissioned by The New York Times to conduct an interview with a therapist who was politically conservative. The editors were curious about the question of whether most therapists lean toward the political left and whether this causes some some patients to self-censor because they fear judgment. They editors tracked down Dea Bridge, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado, and The Q&A-style interview was published in the October 4, 2022 edition of the Times opinion section. The interivew touched a nerve with readers, both positively and negatively. One of the central questions readers asked was also one of Meghan's questions: what about Dea's particular approach was “conservative?” Moreover, why should politics enter into therapy at all? Given the huge response to the conversation, Meghan invited Dea to continue it on The Unspeakable. Here, Dea talks about approaches to (and definitions of) trauma, how her own time in the military influences her work with veterans, and whether an “up by your bootstraps” approach to therapy might be more useful than some people assume. She also talks about how valuable the Times experience has been, even though when the editors first contacted her she wondered if it was an internet scam. Guest Bio Dea Bridge is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Full Operating Provider/Evaluator through the Colorado Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB). She is also certified in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy through the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA). Her counseling experience includes working with military veterans, law enforcement / corrections officers/first responders, adults involved with the criminal justice system, adults with cognitive or developmental disabilities, and community mental health crisis evaluation and management. She is an Army veteran and former first responder.

Following in her mother's, sister's, and aunt's footsteps, she earned a bachelor's and master's degree in behavioral and learning disabilities. After teaching special education and then general education for ten years, Kelly says “I decided to stay home with my children. My husband, a Blackhawk helicopter pilot, was deployed to Iraq as we welcomed our third daughter into our family. A few years later, we were surprised to welcome a little boy to our family as well.” Kelly says “I loved every minute of staying home with my children for eight years. As my son grew older, I began to feel a strong desire to go back to school again. I have always loved the process of learning and believed with every fiber of my being that I was being called to further my education so I could learn how to effectively help children to find happiness and hope.” Kelly continues “I decided to follow my heart and go back to school to become a school counselor. A couple of months into my second master's degree, I was unexpectedly offered a highly coveted position as a school counselor at an amazing school near my home and started my career as a school counselor before I even graduated. In addition to taking courses for school counseling, I took additional classes and assessments to become a licensed professional counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor. While finishing up my master's degree, I began my Ph.D. in Professional Counseling and Supervision at The University of Georgia. Upon graduation with my master's degree in school counseling, I was unexpectedly awarded the Outstanding Future Counselor Award.” Currently Kelly is a school counselor at an elementary school, a licensed counselor, and working towards her license as a play therapist.

So suddenly when there's no place that they have to be, there's nothing that they're responsible for accomplishing, that can really drop people into a really challenging place. So spending more time with a spouse or kids, or even themselves, is another big challenge that I see a lot. And the other big one, although there's lots of other little kind of nuanced experiences, is finding ways to create meaning, to have meaning, to reach meaning in their lives. That's a big one too. Again, so many people get so much out of work where they get so much of their meaning. And so suddenly when that's no longer there, it kind of, it drops them big time for a loop." On Self Compassion and Vulnerability "Self-compassion and grace, they are going to be the supports that allows somebody to really soften into this more vulnerable part of themselves to know what it is that truly feeds them in retirement. Remember for many, many people it will span a quarter to a third of life. There's a lot of time to sort it out. The earlier we begin the better. It's like buying the Fast Pass before you get to Disney World, instead of getting to Disney World and having to stand in line. Let's not do that." On Finding a New Purpose "Purpose happens by being able to connect to our heart. We have to do the work to be able to develop that part of ourselves. The emotional, psychological part is as important as preparing financially and anything else for retirement." _________________________ About Retirement Wisdom Take charge of your future.

EM•POWER with Moxi is an organization dedicated to empowering choice and fostering understanding for all stakeholders involved in embryo donation. Maya is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist who specializes in supporting individuals and couples struggling to conceive or building their family in alternative ways. Additionally, her background in child welfare allows her to have a keen understanding of not only the needs of patients/parents but also the needs of children born through third party reproduction. Maya is also a documentary filmmaker and co-producer of One More Shot, a feature length film she produced with her husband documenting their tumultuous journey to parenthood. Gina has been a genetic counselor in the field of reproductive medicine for over 17 years. Her company, Advocate Genetics, provides genetic counseling for fertility patients and those connected to third-party reproduction. She had been working in the field of infertility for 6 years before her own 3-1/2 year fertility journey began. Her story involved multiple surgeries and a heartbreaking miscarriage, but also resulted in the birth of her two amazing children via IVF. After she felt her family was complete, she also had 16 remaining embryos and some big decisions to make. Years later, she has donated her remaining embryos to two families, one of whom now has a beautiful and spunky daughter. Jennifer is a Nationally Certified Counselor who founded Embryo Donation Support, a web-based community for embryo donors. Through facilitation of pre- and post-donation online support groups to women with frozen embryos, Jennifer has built a solid understanding of the questions, needs, fears, and challenges that patients face when considering embryo donation. Jennifer also advocates for embryo donation and donor support through podcasts, live events, social media outlets, and blog contributions. Jennifer is a proud mother of twins conceived through IVF, and proud donor of one embryo who is now a healthy boy. These three women created EM•POWER to support the various complex elements of embryo donation and simplify the process for both patients and clinics. They created an education platform and a community platform that includes Moxi Matching, a private space where embryo donors can connect and match. Listen to Maya, Gina, and Jen as they discuss with Ellen and Jenn: • Maya's film “One More Shot” documenting her up close and personal road to parenthood. • Jen's fertility journey and experience becoming a donor with only one embryo and strong feelings on what that arrangement should look like. • Gina's professional path leading her to the fertility world before experiencing her own difficult path to parenthood. • Considering the options and challenges involved in embryo disposition. • “Adoption” vs “donation” terminology for embryos. • How people choose a donor or recipient for embryos • Empower with Moxi, a hub for education and support for the embryo donation community.
