Untangling the Past: Dr. Joan Peters on Psychoanalysis, Childhood Trauma, and the Stories We Tell OurselvesEpisode Summary:In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, I'm joined by Dr. Joan Peters—professor emeritus of literature and writing at California State University and author of Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. Together, we explore Joan's deeply personal journey through psychoanalysis as she worked to understand the hidden roots of lifelong nightmares, inner turmoil, and a mystery that lingered since childhood.From the outside, Joan's family appeared ordinary—a mother, a stepfather, a brother, and a seemingly normal life. But beneath the surface, she was waking up screaming multiple times a week, haunted by dreams where someone was trying to kill her. Why?The trauma didn't come from abuse—it came from a little girl's desperate attempt to make sense of the incomprehensible. When Joan was born, her father was dying of cancer. Her overwhelmed mother administered morphine shots to ease his suffering, often while Joan sat nearby in her high chair. Though she couldn't understand what was happening, Joan felt that something was terribly wrong—and she internalized the grief, fear, and silence around her. When her father died just before her second birthday, his memory was erased from family life, never to be mentioned again.Through decades of silence and self-blame, Joan carried the belief that she was responsible—that she was the "angel of death," and that someone would one day kill her because she was bad.In this moving conversation, Joan shares how psychoanalysis helped her unravel the stories she created to explain her pain—and how retelling those stories with compassion became the key to healing. We also discuss the power of acknowledging trauma, the danger of unspoken grief, and how rewriting our inner narratives can transform our lives.Learn more and connect with Dr. Peters at UntanglingJoan.com.Key Topics Covered:The hidden impact of early childhood traumaHow children internalize grief and painThe silence surrounding death and how it affects family dynamicsThe power of psychoanalysis in untangling subconscious fearsRewriting our personal narratives to find peace and healingConnect with Linda:Website: HopeForHealingFoundation.org Podcast: Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better LifeInstagram | Facebook | YouTube | Spotify | Apple PodcastsIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need to hear it.

When brokenness strikes, it can feel impossible to know what to say or how to ask for help. Whether that brokenness is due to hard circumstances, an unexpected diagnosis, or the pain of a relationship ending, when we are hurting, all we want to do is retreat.But it's in these dark seasons when we need a community to lean on the most. How do we find the strength to reach out when we are battling some of our worst moments? What can we offer our friends who we know are hurting? And can God still use us even when the brokenness never seems to fade away?My guest today is here to offer clarity and guidance around these questions. Toni Collier is the founder of a global women's organization called Broken Crayons Still Color. She helps people process through brokenness to get to healing and hope.In this episode, you'll hear:How to find healing from brokennessCommon myths we believe about our painThe power of having people who will sit with you instead of trying to fix youAnd more!Toni's story is full of so much brokenness and pain. Yet, in spite of those circumstances, she has found healing and comfort. Her experience is proof that even the darkest seasons don't last forever.Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/toni-collier-267Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

Every day that you don't move towards your goal of a healthier relationship with food, you are wasting time, energy and your peace of mind. This week, I was reminded about HOW much is on the line when you don't take your own healing seriously.This past week, I made some mistakes (yep, even coaches do) that left me in a LOT of pain today. But instead of just beating myself up, I pulled the lessons from it, because pain is only wasted if we don't use it to grow.In this episode, I'm breaking down:The bad decisions I made and how they spiraled into unnecessary painThe key lessons I wish I'd applied sooner (so you don't repeat my mistakes)How to protect your money, time, energy, and peace of mindPractical shifts you can start using today to get unstuck and finally move in the right directionIf you've been feeling stuck, repeating old patterns, or wondering why change feels so hard - this episode will show you the fastest way to redirect your energy toward real peace and freedom.

Can you let yourself feel good? Like, really good... in your body, in your life, in your truth?In this live recording from the Body Transformation Retreat in Bali, Chantelle Raven invites us into a deeper reckoning with what it truly means to expand our capacity for pleasure. So often on the healing path we focus on pain, shadows, trauma, but what happens when life offers you joy, love, beauty, and Eros? Can your nervous system hold that too?This isn't just about bliss. It's about reparenting your body to trust the goodness. It's about staying present when shame rises. And it's about recognizing that our ability to hold others: clients, children, lovers, is always mirrored by how gently, how powerfully, we're holding ourselves.If you're a practitioner, coach, parent, or partner… this is the episode that will open you to a new depth.Inside This Episode:Why pleasure is just as transformational as painThe real reason shame is the gatekeeper emotionHow your inner parent shows up in your space-holdingWhat most people misunderstand about Eros and embodimentWhy deep presence matters more than any techniqueHow to be with a loved one or client's breakdown without rescuing or retreatingThere's something sacred that happens when we stop trying to fix and start choosing to feel. When we stop holding back our pleasure or running from our shame. This is what it means to live and lead from the body. To guide not from perfection, but from presence. If this episode touched something in you, let it take root. And when you're ready to walk deeper, come find us: at the retreats, the trainings, the moments that change everything.Top Quotes: “Pleasure can burn you into truth just as deeply as pain.” “Shame is the guardian of every other emotion. If you can't feel it, you'll keep denying the rest.” “Don't expect your clients to go anywhere you haven't gone yourself.”Resources + Links:Sign up for the waitlist for the 18-month Tantra Practitioner Program: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/tantra-practitioner-training/ Check out our Self-Paced Program here: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/self-paced-tantra-practitioner-training/ Follow us on Instagram: @embodiedawakeningacademy

In this episode of Chai Beauty, I share my reflections on Session Seven of the When You Pray Bible study, which focuses on unity—or oneness—in prayer. Unity is one of the hardest lessons to live out because it often requires sacrifice, pain, and patience. Drawing from scripture and personal experiences, I explore what it means to practice oneness with those around us, even when relationships feel complicated or strained.I talk about the privilege of walking alongside others in their struggles, why forgiveness and feedback are so essential, and how God calls us to repair, restore, and live in harmony whenever possible.We'll explore:Why unity requires sacrifice and even painThe privilege of restoring and walking with othersForgiveness, reconciliation, and harmony in relationshipsWhy friendships and family require slower, more careful conversationsHow to balance strong boundaries with unconditional loveRedefining community and oneness in different seasons

In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore a tender and rarely discussed form of grief: what happens when a parent does the healing work later in life—showing up with love, compassion, and connection for your children, in ways they never did for you.Ash shares her personal experience of watching her father transform through healing, and the bittersweet grief that surfaces as her children receive the kind of nurturing she once longed for. Together, Ash and Dave reflect on the complexity of triggers, inner child pain, and the surprising ways grief can arise even in beautiful circumstances.In this episode:The unexpected grief of seeing your parent heal and changeWhy triggers are a gift, revealing where we're still not freeHolding both gratitude for the present and grief for the pastHow to parent your own inner child through moments of painThe role of non-judgment and presence in supporting othersWhy it's never too late for healing—and why that still may hurtThis episode is an invitation to honor your feelings, even when they don't “make sense,” and to practice compassion for yourself while navigating layered family dynamics.Reflection prompts:Have you ever felt grief in the presence of something beautiful?How do you tend to your inner child when old wounds resurface?What might compassion (not judgment) look like in your own healing?

Back pain is one of the most common health problems in the world — but also one of the most mysterious. Scans don't always match symptoms, treatments don't always provide relief, and many people feel stuck with ongoing discomfort.In this episode, I explore chronic, non-specific low back pain through a biopsychosocial lens. Basically, we're looking beyond just the spine to understand how biology, psychology, and environment all shape the way pain is experienced.You'll hear about:What makes non-specific low back pain so puzzlingHow pain perception actually works (pain ≠ tissue damage)Why the biopsychosocial model is key to understanding painThe role of self-regulation in shaping pain responsesWhat research says about meditation for back painHow to reframe back pain when you feel like you're hitting a wallJournal prompts to reflect on your own experienceBy the end, you'll have a new way to think about back pain, one that expands the options for healing beyond the body alone.Engel, G. L. (1977). The need for a new medical model: a challenge for biomedicine. Science, 196(4286), 129–136. (Origin of the biopsychosocial model)Study on self-regulation and pain: Wager, T. D., et al.

In this episode, four of the top experts in researching and treating nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) talk about the research behind NSSI Disorder, the evolution of how they now think about NSSI within the context of the DSM, and why they now advocate for an NSSI specifier rather than an NSSI Disorder in the DSM. They also delineate their proposed criteria for self-harm as a specifier and both the positive and negative consequences of doing so.Below are papers referenced in this episode:Lengel, G. J., Muehlenkamp, J. J., Zetterqvist, M., Ammerman, B. A., Brausch, A. M., & Washburn, J. J. (2025). Non-suicidal self-injury: proposal to shift designation from disorder to a clinical specifier. The Lancet Psychiatry. Online advanced publication.Shaffer, D., & Jacobson, C. (2009). Proposal to the DSM-V childhood disorder and mood disorder work groups to include non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) as a DSM-V disorder. American Psychiatric Association, 1-21.Muehlenkamp, J. J. (2005). Self-injurious behavior as a separate clinical syndrome. American Journal of Orthopsychiatry, 75(2), 324–333.Brausch, A. (2019). Diagnostic classification of nonsuicidal self-injury. In J. J. Washburn (Ed.), Nonsuicidal self-injury: Advances in research and practice (pp. 71-87). Routledge.NONSUICIDAL SELF-INJURY SPECIFIER (PROPOSED CRITERIA):A. The specifier should be used when the nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior is characterized by the following:The individual intentionally engages in NSSI behavior to inflict bodily damage or painThe individual's NSSI behavior is recent, such that it occurred at least once during the past monthThe individual's NSSI behavior is repetitive, such that it occurred on about 5 or more days in an individual's lifetimeNote: culturally specific NSSI behavior (e.g., piercings and tattoos) and harm that is habitual (e.g., scab picking, nail biting, and hair pulling) should not be considered to be NSSI unless the behavior is explicitly for the purposes of causing damage or pain to one's body. The NSSI specifier can still be applied if the behavior occurs under the influence of substances, as long as the behavior meets the required features.Coding note: use code Z91.52 for individuals with a previous history of NSSI when all criteria except for recency are met (A2).Want to have a bigger role on the podcast?:Should you or someone you know be interviewed on the podcast?

When Grief Doesn't Go Away—and That's OkayGrief isn't something we get over—it's something we learn to live with. In this episode of The Good Grief Podcast, therapist Jill Ann Anderson joins Mike O'Connell and Pete Waggoner for an honest, moving conversation about what it means to truly process grief. Jill shares her personal journey of loss, how it led her to become a grief therapist, and why so many people feel isolated in their pain.Instead of avoiding uncomfortable emotions or rushing to “move on,” Jill explains the transformational power of simply feeling. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a version of life you expected to have, this episode reminds us that healing comes not from fixing grief—but from witnessing it with compassion.Grief Isn't a Straight Line Episode Highlights & Key TakeawaysJill Ann Anderson shares how personal loss led her to specialize in grief therapyWhy grief is not linear and doesn't follow a specific timelineThe analogy of the “rice beds” and how grief requires a guideHow culture has “sanitized” death and made us uncomfortable with painThe deep connection between childhood wounds and adult griefWhy witnessing, not fixing, is the core of healingHow therapy can help you rebuild after loss and find new meaningWhy some people resist healing and the importance of self-responsibilityThe difference between suffering and feelingHow boundaries are meant for expansion, not exclusionGrief as a path toward growth, authenticity, and inner strength

In this solo episode, Brandon reflects on a recurring theme in his work and leadership journey. The increasing presence of uncomfortable, ambiguous, and high-stakes problems. He explores how the most meaningful work often comes with the most discomfort, and why learning to sit with that tension is both necessary and worthwhile.This isn't a glorification of pain for its own sake. It's about the real cost, and real opportunity, that comes with doing work that matters. Brandon draws parallels between leadership and parenting, discusses the danger of ego-driven ambition, and makes the case for a third path: learning to genuinely enjoy the discomfort that comes with deep, purposeful work.If you're navigating difficult challenges, leading teams, or simply trying to do something meaningful with your career, this episode is for you.Topics Covered:The difference between technical problems and leadership problemsWhy deeper impact often brings more ambiguity and painThe trap of surface-level productivityEgo-driven work vs. purpose-driven workHow parenting offers a model for enduring discomfort with joyThe mindset shift required to find meaning in difficult workWhy this tension sits at the core of leadership and contributionLinks & Resources:Learn more about PJ Wallbank Springs: pjws.comLearn more about Edison: edison-mfg.comShow notes and full episodes: https://brandonbartneck.com/buildingbetter/262-2/Follow the podcast:Apple PodcastsSpotify

Lisa shares a raw, personal story from her transformative month-long solo journey through Spain and Morocco. After 2023 turned her world upside down, she found herself carrying literal rocks that represented her deepest pain - and discovered why we cling to suffering even when we desperately want to be free.This isn't your typical "just let it go" advice. This is the real, messy truth about what it actually takes to release what's holding you back. The Story That Changes EverythingWhile walking the Camino, Lisa picked up two rocks representing specific pains in her life. What happened next reveals the hidden psychology behind why we stay stuck:She carried one rock for thousands of kilometers across multiple countriesShe checked on it daily, panicking if she couldn't find itShe knew she wanted to let it go, yet actively protected itShe realized she was doing the same thing mentally with her painThe uncomfortable truth: We get addicted to our pain because it feels safer than the unknown. Why Smart, Successful People Stay StuckThe Pain You Know vs. The Pain You Don'tFamiliar suffering feels more manageable than uncertain healingYour pain becomes your identity, making you fear who you'd be without itPast hurt tricks you into thinking it's protecting you from future hurtThe secondary benefits of pain (attention, sympathy, avoiding decisions) keep you hookedThe Certainty TrapWhen you're carrying emotional rocks, you know exactly what to expect each day. Without them? Complete uncertainty. And uncertainty feels dangerous to high achievers who built their success on control and predictability. The Real Work Begins After You Let GoHere's what no one tells you: Releasing the pain is the easy part. The hard part is the commitment you make afterward.When Lisa finally threw her rock into the ocean, she committed to:Never allowing those thought patterns to take root againRedirecting her mind when it wanted to revisit the painBuilding a completely new foundation based on her valuesMoving forward without looking backThis is why most people fail at letting go - they think the release is the end, when it's actually the beginning. Your Turn: The Rock ExerciseIdentify your rocks - What pain, story, or identity are you carrying?Get honest about the payoff - What are you getting from holding onto this?Find actual rocks - Create physical representations of what you want to releaseCarry them - Notice how you check on them, protect them, worry about themDefine your commitments - What will you be committed to when you let go?Release with ceremony - When you're truly ready, let them go meaningfully Why This Matters for Driven PeopleIf you're someone who has "everything figured out" on the outside but feels disconnected on the inside, this episode is for you. Lisa's story shows that:Success doesn't protect you from needing to do deep emotional workThe same intensity that drives achievement can keep you stuck in painTrue leadership requires facing the parts of yourself you've been avoidingYour capacity for joy will only match your willingness to feel everything else The Bottom LineStop saying you're "working on letting go." Either you're ready to let go, or you're not. And if you're not, get honest about why. What's that pain doing for you? What would you have to commit to if it wasn't there?The life you want is waiting on the other side of the rocks you're carrying. But you have to be willing to put them down and walk forward empty-handed.Ready to do this work? Lisa is accepting new one-on-one coaching clients and has spots available in her Reclamation program. Because some transformations require support, and this is one of them.If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

“Your back will never get better.”That's what a chiropractor told Cam at age 21 — just months after a deadlift left him in debilitating pain.It was a moment that could have ended his active lifestyle, confidence, and future.Instead, it became the starting point of something much bigger.In this special co-founder origin episode, Andrew and Cam sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the pain that brought them together, the flaws in traditional care models, and the fire that fueled the creation of Whealth — a company that's now helped thousands take their health back into their own hands.Cam shares the full arc of his journey:What it was like to lose his identity as a college athlete to chronic back painThe confusion, fear, and isolation of navigating MRIs, sciatica, and endless failed treatmentsHow damaging practitioner language (“you'll never lift again”) nearly sealed his fateWhy a physical therapist who didn't fix him still gave him hopeThe moment he found Andrew online and took a leap of faithHow he went from being a client to becoming a coach and eventually co-founderThe episode also reveals the lesser-known backstory of Whealth — including:The behind-the-scenes fallout from Andrew's removal from MoveUHow five passionate people took a risk and built Whealth from zeroThe early struggles of launching a mission-driven business with no money and no audienceWhy Whealth's approach to movement and mindset goes far beyond exercisesWhether you're in pain, in doubt, or in a season of rebuilding, this episode is a reminder that your story isn't over.It might just be beginning.If you've ever felt dismissed, broken, or stuck in pain — you're not alone. This is your reminder: The body can heal. And you're capable of far more than you've been told.

In this powerful episode from the archive, Lisa sits down with pioneering sound therapist and researcher Eileen Day McKusick, whose work is radically reshaping how we understand trauma, energy and healing through frequency. If homeopathy showed us that healing is energetic, Eileen's work takes it one step further.No pills. No remedies. Just frequency.For nearly three decades, Eileen has been using sound to map the human biofield — the electromagnetic field that surrounds and interpenetrates the body — revealing how trauma, emotion and memory are stored as vibrational patterns in our energy field.In this episode, we explore:How tuning forks bring the body back into coherenceWhere trauma, anxiety and inherited patterns can be ‘heard' in the fieldWhy unprocessed emotion can manifest as physical painThe surprising link between biofield mapping and homeopathyHow ancestral energy patterns (miasms) show up and can be clearedWhat it means to become a “self-tuning instrument”The difference between raising your vibration — and becoming coherentHow remote sessions work through the ether (yes, really)Eileen also shares powerful case studies, including a participant who shifted out of lifelong anxiety and pain — not through talking, but by letting the tuning forks reflect back the body's own story.If you've ever sensed that health is about more than chemistry — that it's frequency, energy, memory — this episode will land deeply.Eileen's current clinical study on sound and anxiety is already showing remarkable results. This is just the beginning.

Happy Satiated Saturday! How do you currently view symptoms or impulses in your body?Are they something to be fixed? Are they wrong or bad? Are you afraid of them when they increase? If you said yes to these questions, you might notice how does it feel in your body to view the body's symptoms and impulses as wrong, bad, fearful, and need of fixing? Something I've been teaching for a while is that your food coping mechanisms are not a problem. Often, what needs to be updated is how you respond to your body when it is sending you communication through a symptom or urge. What if you started to invite that reaction to the table and make it alright that this is what you're experiencing? In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Ali Damron, Hormone Expert, Licensed Acupuncturist, and Certified Personal Trainer, about: Understanding neuroplastic painThe complexity of emotions in healingUpdating your relationship to stressUpdating your body's storyUnderstanding the role of fear in physical symptomsEmbracing discomfortAnxiety as a messenger of informationThe importance of naming your feelings and emotional check-insYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​. I just created a brand new workshop called Move Through Binge Urges and Binge Pitfalls with Somatic Eating®, and I will be teaching it live on Wednesday, April 30th at 1:30 pm ET.

I'm doing something a little different this week. After a short pause following the passing of my father, I'm sharing a conversation I had with my dear friend Lisa Scheffler from our other podcast, Untwisting Scripture. We recorded this special episode for Holy Week, and with Lisa's blessing, I'm bringing it here to Her Faith at Work.This episode is a real and raw look at the drama, grief, and beauty of Holy Week. We walk through Jesus' final days—not just the big Easter Sunday celebration, but the heavy stuff leading up to it: betrayal, lament, abandonment... and why it matters for your Monday morning.We talk about how Holy Week reveals the deeply human and deeply divine nature of Christ—and how that gives us permission to grieve, protest, and cry out to God when life hits hard. I also share a very personal story about my father's final moments and the holy experience I had in the middle of my own lament.If you've been holding it all together for too long, let this episode be the nudge to fall apart a little—and meet Jesus there.Key Topics:Why Holy Week is more than just Palm Sunday and Easter brunchThe power of lament and why it's missing from modern faith cultureHow Jesus' cry from the cross shows us God welcomes our deepest painThe difference between grief and lament—and why we need bothWhat Peter's fear and failure can teach us about our own walk with JesusA personal story of holy presence in the middle of sufferingTimestamps00:00 – Why this episode matters (and where I've been lately)01:56 – Holy Week isn't just Easter... here's what you're missing04:52 – Palm Sunday: celebration before the storm06:12 – Why the Pharisees really feared Jesus09:29 – Judas, Peter, and the heartbreak of betrayal13:36 – Jesus weeps, prays, and gets abandoned15:34 – "Why have you forsaken me?" and the theology of lament23:45 – My story: lament, worship, and my father's passing29:11 – How our culture gets grief wrong32:29 – A challenge for Good Friday: don't skip the hard stuff35:05 – Why you should step outside your church bubble this weekQuotables:“If Jesus lamented, we can too. We should.”“Easter is like reading the last five pages of a book—don't skip the whole story.”“Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is feel it all with God.”Resources:Psalm 22 – Jesus' cry from the crossPsalm 139:7-10 – God's presence in our darkest momentsMaundy Thursday and Good Friday services (check local listings)If this episode moved you, let me know.

In this transformative episode, Scott Lyons is joined by Nicole Sachs, LCSW, a renowned therapist, author, and expert in mind-body healing. Nicole is the creator of the JournalSpeak method, a groundbreaking practice that helps people uncover and release suppressed emotions that manifest as chronic pain. With over two decades of experience, Nicole has dedicated her career to helping people heal by teaching them to understand the mind-body connection and transform their relationship with pain.Nicole shares her personal journey with chronic back pain, which began in college and led her down a path of medical consultations, surgeries, and prescriptions. However, it wasn't until she discovered the work of Dr. John Sarno that she began to understand how emotional repression and nervous system dysregulation were contributing to her pain. Nicole's own healing experience inspired her to create the JournalSpeak method, and she has since guided thousands of people worldwide in using this powerful tool to find lasting relief.Throughout the conversation, Scott and Nicole explore how pain is often a signal from the body, protecting us from perceived emotional threats rather than just a physical condition. Nicole offers profound insights on how we can begin to change our relationship with pain by embracing curiosity instead of fear and turning toward the emotions we've been suppressing.She introduces the concept of JournalSpeak as a way to safely release emotional energy, and emphasizes the importance of self-compassion and patience on the healing journey. By addressing the emotional roots of pain, Nicole has helped people reclaim their lives from conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, back pain, and more.Topics We Break Down:How the nervous system creates pain to protect us from perceived emotional threatsThe JournalSpeak method: A powerful tool for releasing suppressed emotions and healing painThe mind-body connection and how emotional stimuli can manifest as physical painHow pain is often a sign of emotional repression, trauma, or nervous system dysregulationThe importance of validating pain and recognizing its emotional originsBuilding self-compassion and patience in the process of healingInner child work and its role in uncovering deep emotional woundsHow curiosity and wonder can help shift fear and open new possibilities for healingReal-life success stories from people who have healed chronic pain using JournalSpeak
