Welcome Back No-Problem Parents! Jadde's FB Post: Who's to blame? Something happened. Something went wrong. It's always someone's fault, but who's? I believe in personal responsibility and extreme ownership. My parents raised me with this mindset. I also have had some personal experiences that have led me to this belief. I believe you can always take personal responsibility. There's always something you can own up to I used to point fingers a lot at others. If something got messed up I'd find a way to prove it wasn't my fault. As I got older, read some books, tried to better myself, and had some accountability in my life that habit changed. I now take extreme ownership of everything. I look for ways things were my fault. Could have I communicated better? Could I have notified them earlier? Yes, I did miss that. I made that mistake. This person couldn't do their job right because I didn't do this right. Extreme ownership is hard to put in place but I have grown so much from it. You have to be humble enough to realize you make a lot of mistakes. Stop pointing fingers at someone else and take responsibility. If you take ownership of your mistakes I can assure you that people will respect you more for it. Even if from the audience's perspective, it doesn't appear your fault, own it like it's yours. There's always something you could have done better. I still have a lot of growing to do, but I use this mindset daily. In my health, career, relationships, finances, and faith walk. I don't point fingers, judge, or put down others when it may look like their fault. What could have I done better is what I ask. Where did I go wrong? How can I take extreme ownership of this situation and fix it? I encourage you to give this a try next time something goes wrong in life!   Meet Jadde Rowe a 28-year-old.

On this "Pod People" episode of Season Three, Mitch chats with Ryan Knight to talk about his journey from Proud Resister to Proud Socialist over the past 4 years and how his personal journey through the financial industry, addiction and more helped shape his political world view. Ryan is an outspoken digital and IRL activist who hosts a wonderful show called "Amped Up" where he interviews folks from all over the left to better understand their message, goals and needs including candidates currently running for office. In his own words, Ryan is one of Those #Proud, #Lefty, #Socialist, #Soccerplayer type People. — This Podcast was Recorded Remotely in May 2020 in Plymouth MN & Los Angeles CA. We delayed the release of this podcast due to wanting to keep the focus on the Black Lives Matter movement, and Mutual Aid projects we were supporting around the country, however with the general election just around the corner, it seemed like now was the time to get this on the air, and to share this, at times feisty, conversation about bridging the divide between our principles, and the votes we need to earn to get them over the finish line. — Learn more about Those People, Mitch’s newest projects, and Ryan + other guests from the show at www.mitchgayns.com.

On this episode of Season Three of Those People Mitch chats with Ihssane Lecky (which I mispronounce at least 3 times in this interview, likely the only thing be and Tucker Carlson have in common) to talk about her journey to America from growing up in Morocco, becoming an organizer and a fighter for wall street reform which was passed and then repealed under the Trump administration, and what being a “progressive” in the American sense of the term means to her. Leckey is running in Massachusetts 4th congressional district, a seat vacated by Joe Kennedy III deciding for no apparent reason to challenge Ed Markey for Mass.’ 2nd Senate seat. This race is the most contested in the state and while there are several perfectly fine candidates in the race, Leckey stood out to me as someone able to identify the core issues facing working class people in the state including corruption, rampant ignorance of sexual violence and more. She’s also the most No-Bullshit ‘Politician’ I’ve interviewed so far on the show. In her own words, Melanie is one of Those #Shero, #WallStreetRegulator, #Mother, #Muslim, #Immigrant People - You can check out her website for more info on all of those and plenty more at: https://ihssane.org/ or follow her on twitter https://twitter.com/ihssaneleckey. — This Podcast was Recorded Remotely in May 2020 in Plymouth MN & the 4th District of Massachusetts.

On Episode two of this season of Those People Mitch chats with Melanie D’Arrigo (which I mispronounce 8 times in this interview) to talk about CoVID’s impact on NYC, growing up in a tough-love family to put it kindly, and the saviors that make up our public education workforce. Melanie is the 2nd of the NYC progressives we’ll be interviewing this season, representing New York’s 3rd district & we spend a good chunk of the first half discussing the intricacies of growing up in the city, and a good deal of the second half on what she wants to do to make that easier for kids and families of this generation coming of age now. In her own words, Melanie is one of Those #Feminist, #Activist, #Scientist, #Progressive People - Though admittedly we barely even touched on the scientist thing so check out her website for more info on that and plenty more at: https://www.darrigo2020.com/ or follow her on twitter @DarrigoMelanie. — This Podcast was Recorded Remotely in April 2020 in Plymouth MN & NYC. — Learn more about Those People, Mitch’s newest projects, and Mel + other guests from the show at www.mitchgayns.com. — Support the show by buying some merch at https://shop.spreadshirt.com/mitchgayns or Buy Mitch and the Team a cup of coffee at: https://ko-fi.com/mitchgayns — Music for this show: Those People, 2012, Justus Boyz (Intro): https://bit.ly/2lbdBJB Those People, 2015, Amy Bezunartea (Outro): https://spoti.fi/2nhoOsH Untitled, 2019, Mitch Gayns (Transitions) Trigger Warnings for this Episode: Systemic Oppression of Women Childhood abuse & Trauma --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thosepeople/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thosepeople/support

Julie Morin and Laura Anderson, liscensed professional clinical counselors who practice at DBT and EMDR Specialists in Plymouth, Minnesota, joined us at Ridgeview’s Live Friday CME series on January 18, 2019 to discuss DBT and it’s use in PTSD. What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?: It is a form of psychotherapy that is essentially a combination of many aspects of mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. It is typically geared toward significant emotional dysregulation but was originally designed for borderline personality disorder. It has various other applications, including ptsd, anxiety as well as eating disorders. Enjoy the podcast. Objectives: Upon completion of this CME event, program participants will be able to: Identify the four stages of DBT with emphasis on Stage 2 of treatment. Recognize the patient target population that would benefit most from DBT-PE. Identify the inclusion/exclusion requirements for both PE and EMDR in order to make safe, evidence-based referrals. Describe the benefits expected from trauma work in the context of DBT-PE. CME credit is only offered to Ridgeview Providers for this podcast activity. Complete and submit the online evaluation form, after viewing the activity.  Upon successful completion of the evaluation, you will be e-mailed a certificate of completion within 2 weeks.  You may contact the accredited provider with questions regarding this program at rmccredentialing@ridgeviewmedical.org.

It is typically geared toward significant emotional dysregulation but was originally designed for borderline personality disorder. It has various other applications, including PTSD, anxiety, as well as eating disorders. There are many misconceptions about what psychological trauma is and how it comes about. The sound effects just played are attention grabbing, but as we all can attest after listening to an air raid siren, real combat noise, a tsunami crash and others, rescue sirens and the like, our emotions kick in immediately, removing our ability to think rationally, even for a brief moment, perhaps conjuring up images of a previous life experience. But as we will learn in this podcast, trauma and PTSD is often due to events in life that don’t involve gunfire or ambulance sirens. Bullying, job failures, relationship issues, and other interpersonal conflicts. In fact, these minor traumas or secondary traumatic experiences can indeed be quite debilitating, and until DBT, many therapy modalities have not been as effective.  Chapter 1: What is trauma and how does it present itself? Well, PTSD can present in a lot of people and in different ways. There are many people who have experienced varying degrees of trauma, such as bullying or other emotional traumas i.e. abuse and major life events. Not just war veterans or near death experiences. Trauma is really anything that has a long lasting effect on your psyche. Secondary trauma is not uncommon either, especially if you experience death and tragedy in your job regularly, such is the case in firefighters, paramedics, police officers, nurses, etc. What happens in the brain? Trauma memories are stored in different ways than other regular memories. They’re stored fragmentally. The memory is stored in the emotion center of the brain, and the reemergence of the memory tends to cause an emotional response, often irrational. Somatic complaints and findings are common, such as sweating, pain and headaches. It would be prudent for the evaluating provider in this case, especially in the absence of other diagnoses, to ask about trauma in the patient’s life. When faced with a traumatic experience, our prefrontal cortex goes off-line, and therefore language is booted out of the experience. Resultantly, trauma becomes “stuck” in our brains, in general terms. We must then learn to reconnect our language and reasoning with the trauma memory, because those memories were never really processed. Avoidance behavior tends to take place with regard to anything dealing with the experience or circumstances related to the trauma. Marsha Linehan, who developed DBT, was a teaching psychologist at Washington State, and she was recognizing that CBT itself was not working, especially on borderline personality disorder patients. Essentially, it is designed to treat people who are very difficult to treat with other approaches, including the many facets that may go with these clients, such as multiple psychiatric diagnoses, joblessness, relationship issues, substance abuse and financial woes. She broke down and researched mindfulness into 6 different sections. It turns out, clients who tend to do well with DBT are the ones who present to emergency departments frequently, especially patients who are in the suicidality-hospitalization cycle that we see quite commonly. Substance use and abuse is also common in these people, because drugs and alcohol help to repress those traumatic memories and feelings. Patients with somatic complaints and no physiologic explanation, and with a history of trauma, stand to benefit from DBT. Chapter 2: While the treatment of trauma can be confusing frightening for patients, Julie and Laura discuss the organized, stage-oriented approach to treating and helping people suffering with PTSD, using the 4 stages of DBT. The first stage of DBT involves getting behaviors under control, and minimizing life threatening behaviors, substance use disorder, hostility toward others as well as the thoughts that lead to those behaviors. Improvement of this for at least three months is desired, before moving to the next stage. Essentially, stablizing the situation overall, so that a foundation can be laid for even beginning to deal with the traumatic experience. TIDBT or “trauma informed” DBT groups deal with enhancing the awareness of what brings on these emotions associated with a traumatic experience, and to help uncover what the original trauma was that causes these feelings and behaviors. Stage 2 of DBT tends to deal with PTSD treatment. This stage is a big one. Emotional experiencing and exposure to stressful situations begins in this stage. The beginning of processing this trauma is happening in this stage. Things get hard in this stage. Cognitive restructuring happens in this stage, and we can begin to properly file these memories. Reduction of suffering by exposing clients to the event repetitively is done in this stage as well. This is a weekly meeting for about 90 minutes at a time. Prolonged exposure or EMDR are employed in this stage. Can the client talk about their trauma? We need to determine whether they can begin this process by gauging where the person is at with the mere mention of the trauma. Sometimes people need to stay in a DBT modality for a long time before moving into stage 2. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is a relatively new treatment modality that brings the client back to the worst part of the trauma. It involves following visual or audible bilateral brain stimulation. This was developed by Francine Shapiro. The following of visual or auditory situmli moving back and forth engages both hemispheres of the brain, and sets forth a path of engaging of a feeling or sense of the trauma, and then setting forth an alignment of the memory that leads to processing of the trauma. Right-Left brain stimulation essentially creates a panormaic orientation of the traumatic memory by filling-in the areas of the brain that store the more rational memories of the experience. There are 8 stages to EMDR treatment. Some sessions last longer than others, depending on the degree and longetvity of the trauma. Moving from the DBT prolonged exposure for PTSD involves also tape recording themselves talking about the trauma, in a series often, and then practicing her DBT skills while listening to the recording, and focusing on the intense “hot spots” during the recording. Dissociation is not uncommon in PTSD clients, especially if the trauma was significant. In other words, the client may seem entirely different throughout the process. In this case, there is a need to persistently and consistently recenter the client into the present moment, in order to confront the traumatic experience. Stage 3 involves working toward “life worth living” goals. Going back to work or back to school is addressed here. Much of this is done as an outpatient but not intensive outpatient, which is what stages 1 and 2 are done in. Housing and parameters that involve skills that let us live through our daily ups and downs while keeping an eye on the life long goals. Stage 4 involves spirtual enlightenment and connecting with a higher sense of self. Not everyone goes through this stage. Sometimes people will be guided to this if there is still something missing. Confronting our trauma and demons is hard. A lot of people don’t recognize it or have completely submerged it in their psyche, and we know that chronic pain, fibromyalgia and other painful somatization is associated with a deeper emotional trauma in one’s life. Many feel stigmatized and afraid of being labeled with a diagnosis. Sometimes people want to minimize their “little T” trauma because of embarrassment of the trauma itself, or perhaps it’s not a big enough trauma. But let’s face it, who wants to retrace some pretty ugly steps we have walked in this life, whether they happened to us, or whether we had a hand in causing them. Escapism is all too available to us in western society. Diversions that help us avoid confronting and dealing with these hard truths in our lives. Substance use and abuse is the obvious, immediate but unfortunately destructive diversion that so many lean on. If we can first take an inventory of how people are feeling: loss of sleep, panic attacks and somatization, we can then be led toward the truth of the matter in that trauma of some sort was the impetus, in some cases. Pain in general, fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndromes, in many cases are associated with an emotional traumatic experience in someone’s life. While many will struggle their entire lives with PTSD, whether it is due to a major event or a series of smaller traumatic experiences, there is help. DBT, and the multiphase approache to recognizing and tackling this disorder have shown great promise. And this service is something we should all consider for our patients when appropriate. Special thanks to Julie Morin and Laura Anderson today for joining us and extending their knowledge of PTSD treatment to all of us.

Add a bay leaf and three to five peppercorns. Bring up to high pressure and cook for 75 minutes. Let pressure release naturally. Strain stock and use for bean or split pea soup. Be sure to pick all the ham off the bones to add to the soup. It won’t have much flavor but will add a bit of chew and texture to the soup.
