On episode 282, Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes occupational therapist and author Tracey DeMaria, to explore emotional regulation through a metaphor of "surfing the waves." They talk about how the analogy helps both children and adults visualize and manage their emotions, and how that visualization helps the process feel more like a skill to be honed rather than a clinical task. They discuss the importance of language in framing behaviors, the impact of school environments on neurodivergent children, and the integration of sensory and cognitive tools to support emotional well-being. TAKEAWAYS "Surfing the waves" aids emotional regulation. Language shapes perception of behaviors. School environments especially impact neurodivergent children. Blend sensory and cognitive tools for balance. Self-awareness is key to regulation. Mindfulness can be adapted for kids. Special interests can aid emotional control.

On today's show host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviews Rose Tilton, OTR/L, OTD about an intervention that she took straight from the research to the clinic: spinal cord stimulation with transcutaneous stimulation.

In today's episode Rose breaks down exactly what you need to know in order to start using this intervention with your patients today using equipment you already have!   Gain clinical insights that will spark your curiosity to learn more in this episode. While you'll learn exactly what to do, best practice dictates that you do additional research to ensure you have competency and clearance from your clinical state practice act to perform this intervention. Rose encourages therapists to stay curious, reach out to researchers, and be proactive in exploring new interventions that could transform patient outcomes.

In this episode, we will learn from Michelle LeRoy, PhD, OTR/L, BCP & Colton Sayers, OTD, OTR/L, CNS: OT in LGBTQIA+2S Health & Fellowship. Dr. Colton Sayers is a practicing clinical occupational therapist at UC Health and an adjunct instructor at the University of Cincinnati. He works primarily in an outpatient neurological clinic. His doctoral work has consisted of creating learning initiatives that help healthcare workers better understand the lived experience of members of the LGBTQ+ community while accessing healthcare. In his own experience accessing healthcare as a gay man, he has suffered many uncomfortable situations with medical professionals which has led to feelings of shame and guilt. Some of his work has included being on his healthcare institutions diversity, equity, and inclusion council, teaching graduate courses on global and community health, creating the first LGBTQ+ continuing education course for the American Occupational Therapy Association, and pioneering the first Occupational Therapy LGBTQIA+ Fellowship in the world. Through his work, he is hopeful it will decrease barriers to accessing healthcare, improve healthcare workers understanding of the LGBTQ+ community, and help individuals live long and meaningful lives. Dr. Michelle LeRoy is an assistant professor in the occupational therapy department at Colorado State University. Their research area focuses on how occupational therapy can support the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth in schools. As an occupational therapist they are board certified in pediatrics and has worked as an occupational therapist serving the transgender community in a primary care clinic focused on serving the LGBTQ+ community. They have provided multiple presentations for free to the transgender community regarding how to bind, tuck and pack safely to maintain body integrity and also currently volunteers with multiple organizations to provide support to the LGBTQ+ community in Fort Collins, Colorado. Their passion stems from being the proud mother of a transgender child and seeing the difficulty their child has had in receiving proper healthcare.

Receive our FREE newsletters at 18forty.org/join.In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, talk to Moshe Krakowski, a professor at Yeshiva University, about his work on Attrition and Connection in American Orthodox Judaism, the OU's study on what we crassly call “OTD.” Dr. Krakowski takes us “under the hood” of those who leave their religious communities to show us what factors lead Jews to leave faith behind. In this episode we discuss: Why do so many of us choose the countercultural life of Orthodox Judaism? What leads someone to leave a religious community—or seek out a more insular one? How do we create a Jewish world that is sticky, rich, and spiritually nourishing? Tune in to hear a conversation about why we leave Jewish communities and, maybe more importantly, why we stay. Interview begins at 9:29.Moshe Krakowski is a professor at the Azrieli Graduate School for Jewish Education and Administration at Yeshiva University, where he also directs Azrieli's doctoral program. He studies American Haredi education and culture, focusing on the relationship between communal worldview, identity, and education. He also works on curriculum, cognition, and inquiry learning in Jewish educational settings.References:18Forty's OTD Archive“Passing Through” by David BashevkinAttrition and Connection in American Orthodox Judaism by Dr. Moshe Krakowski, Dr. Rachel Ginsberg, Aliza Goldstein, Abby Nadritch, Joshua Schoenberg, and Akiva Schuck“Yiddishe Taavos” by Motty IlowitzFor more 18Forty:NEWSLETTER: 18forty.org/joinCALL: (212) 582-1840EMAIL: info@18forty.orgWEBSITE: 18forty.orgIG: @18fortyX: @18_fortyWhatsApp: join hereBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/18forty-podcast--4344730/support.

In anticipation of our upcoming series, we want to share with you our episode with Shulem Deen, originally released in June 2020. In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, David discusses with special guest and former member of the Ultra-Orthodox community, Shulem Deen, the struggle and importance of balancing one's individual needs with those of the community.Though many of us are aware of the extreme disconnect that exists between the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish community and the secular world, the result of this unfortunate dynamic offers powerful insight. In particular, the intense and likely under-discussed experience of ex-Ultra-Orthodox community members (a group referred to by many as ‘Off The Derech' or OTD) raises important questions about the reality of this intercommunity conflict and life as a modern Jew. In what ways do the religious and secular worlds misunderstand each other? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Ultra-Orthodox and secular worlds in facilitating a positive life for their members? How can we as individuals combat the inescapable myopia of living within a social bubble? Tune in to join David and Shulem in seeking answers to these important questions.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/18forty-podcast--4344730/support.

Feeling rage about the world around you? It's sacred and you can use it to help create inspired action! Today listen in as I chat with Brialle. Brialle brings so much wisdom to teach how to start moving through that sacred rage, helplessness, and other feelings that come along with being alive in 2025. Brialle is a breathwork alchemist, somatic coach, and wellness educator committed to helping change makers lead with greater ease and joy. As a former burnt-out social worker turned healer, Brialle intimately knows what it's like to feel overwhelmed by compassion fatigue, struggling to slow down and rest out of fear that the causes you care about will suffer. After a decade of decolonizing from grind culture, learning to listen to the language of her body, and guiding hundreds of others to do the same– she's a big believer that personal transformation is integral to collective liberation and teaches about the importance of radical self-care for sustainable advocacy. Being guided by Brialle, you can expect to dive deep to release repressed emotions and years of pain held in the body, and moments later be dancing and laughing to reclaim your joy and sovereignty.
