When Kent was three years old, he went into kidney failure. While in the hospital, he watched everyone in the unit die around him. He was the only one who lived. This was Kent's first exposure to trauma, which extended into a childhood marked by racism and abuse from people in his Alaskan village. It would be many years before Kent would find the name for the symptoms he'd experienced most of his life: PTSD.Kent went on to become a pastor and pastored in Alaska for forty years. During that time, he discovered many people felt they needed to pretend they were perfect and admit they were living the victorious Christian life. Kent disagreed. He made it his mission to create safe places where people could be authentic, where people could lament trauma in order to live from a place of wellness. As Ken will tell you, he chooses not to live from a place of hurt. He lives from a place of joy. Be sure to listen to the end of this episode when Kent shares a miraculous and gripping story of redemption and forgiveness. You will be moved!After earning his PhD in Performance Psychology, Kent is now the President and Founder of Second Curve Coaching, an organization dedicated to helping people achieve their God-given mission.

Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, author of "Post Traumatic Parenting: Break the cycle and become the parent you always wanted to be." This book is intended as a guide for anyone who has experienced trauma in their own childhood and in how they were parented- and hopes to rise above that hurt and trauma to be the best parents they can be. - After that, from the archives (2014) is an interview with author Alan Rabinowitz in which he talks about his children's book "A Boy and his Jaguar." The book stems partly from his real-life experience as a stutterer.

Send us a textWhat happens when traditional medicine fails to heal the invisible wounds of war? Former Army Ranger Mike Leal takes us on an extraordinary journey from the battlefields of Afghanistan to a revolutionary treatment that completely restored his damaged brain and broken spirit.Mike's story begins with a startling revelation - before becoming an elite special operations soldier, he was a college dropout struggling with heroin addiction. Seeking escape, he joined the military and unexpectedly found himself drawn to the Rangers, America's premier assault force. Through six grueling deployments and countless firefights, Mike witnessed horrors that would eventually catch up with him. "I would get out of work and just start crying in my truck," he reveals, describing the crushing weight of PTSD and traumatic brain injuries that medication couldn't touch.The VA's response was predictable - more pills, more diagnoses, more disconnection. After a suicide attempt and the crushing realization that the system designed to help veterans was fundamentally broken, Mike discovered an unconventional path forward. His description of Ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT treatment in Mexico is nothing short of miraculous - "I could feel the clicking start in both parts of my brain... it felt like someone was plugging pieces of my brain back in and turning them on." The transformation was immediate and profound, restoring mental clarity, emotional connection, and purpose.Perhaps most compelling is Mike's new mission - creating a nonprofit to help other veterans access this life-changing therapy. With approximately 40 veterans taking their lives daily, his urgency is palpable. "I don't want them to struggle like I did for 10 years," he explains, his voice filled with the conviction of someone who's found the answer to an impossible question.Whether you're a veteran searching for healing, someone struggling with trauma, or simply curious about cutting-edge treatments for the mind, this episode offers hope where traditional approaches have failed.

Have you ever felt like you needed to bounce back fast after something traumatic happened? Or felt pressured to show people that you've actually grown and become better because of what you went through? Post-traumatic growth is real. But the concept is often misunderstood, and it leads to unrealistic expectations and unnecessary guilt. In this episode, I explore what it really means to grow after trauma — and why your growth isn't proof of how mentally strong you are. Some of the things I share are: The biggest misconceptions surrounding post-traumatic growth. What post-traumatic growth actually means. Why we shouldn't jump to look for a silver lining or strive to bounce back overnight. How growth and pain can coexist — and why it's okay to have ongoing emotional scars. Why resilient people actually experience less growth compared to people who lack resilience. Why you shouldn't pressure yourself (or anyone else) to find meaning in your trauma right away (skip the '"everything happens for a reason" speech). Five areas where growth often occurs after trauma — and why growth looks different in different people. How to work through a traumatic experience and the science-backed strategies that can help you grow and recover.

Send us a textSurviving trauma isn't evidence of brokenness—it's proof of extraordinary strength. Yet traditional therapy approaches often miss this crucial reality, focusing instead on deficits and pathology while forcing survivors to relive painful experiences without first creating safety.In this powerful conversation, therapist and trauma survivor Oli Doyle joins David and Ruth to challenge conventional therapeutic wisdom that keeps trauma survivors stuck in cycles of shame and self-blame. Together, they explore how true healing begins with recognizing the remarkable resilience that allowed survivors to endure seemingly impossible circumstances.“How the hell are you sitting in front of me still alive, still breathing? How have you done that?” Oli asks his clients, shifting focus away from pathologizing trauma responses toward honoring the ingenuity that enabled survival. This perspective represents a radical departure from approaches that ask, "What's wrong with you?" instead of, “What happened to you and how did you survive it?”The discussion delves into how trauma lives in our bodies, requiring more than verbal processing for healing. Ruth explains, “You can't talk your way out of a body response. You have to use body-based strategies to help the body get through that moment.” This embodied understanding of trauma recognizes that memories live in our tissues, manifesting as behaviors that once served protective functions but may now cause suffering.Beyond individual healing, the conversation challenges the cultural narrative that personal choices determine outcomes regardless of context. As Oli notes, “What we've been taught in colonial cultures is that contexts and structural factors don't matter. If you just make the right choices, you'll have a good life.” This individualistic perspective serves systems of power while obscuring how structural inequities shape trauma and limit options.For mental health professionals, this episode offers a powerful invitation to examine implicit biases and deficit-focused approaches. For survivors, it provides validation that survival itself represents an extraordinary achievement worthy of recognition and respect. And for everyone, it illuminates how honouring survivor strengths rather than focusing on brokenness creates pathways to genuine healing and post-traumatic growth. Now available!

This week, we're joined by Dr. Robyn Koslowitz, Ph.D.—licensed school and clinical psychologist, author, and expert in what really drives our behavior. From the emotional power behind trending obsessions like Labubu dolls and Stanley cups to the psychology of blind boxes and dopamine loops, Dr. Koslowitz unpacks it all.

Send us a textThe journey through trauma is not simply about survival – it can become a pathway to profound personal transformation. In this deeply moving episode, Amy Watson reveals her own path from childhood abuse and a suicide attempt to becoming a trauma therapist and doctoral candidate, introducing listeners to the scientifically validated concept of post-traumatic growth.While trauma itself is never a gift, the struggle with trauma can catalyze remarkable changes in those who face it directly rather than avoid it. This isn't wishful thinking or toxic positivity – it's a psychological phenomenon documented in hundreds of research studies. Amy walks us through the five domains where this growth commonly emerges: discovering unexpected personal strength, deepening meaningful relationships, finding new life possibilities, gaining profound appreciation for everyday joys, and developing deeper spiritual understanding.What makes this conversation particularly powerful is Amy's transparency about her own experience – how the trauma that nearly destroyed her became the foundation for her life's purpose and deepest connections. She shares the pivotal moment when a friend told her she was "worth fighting for," highlighting how safe relationships become crucial anchors in the healing journey. Particularly striking is her honesty that post-traumatic growth can coexist with ongoing symptoms; healing isn't linear, and growth doesn't erase pain.For anyone weathering the aftermath of trauma, this episode offers genuine hope without minimizing suffering. Amy provides practical insights for nurturing growth through storytelling, social support, reflective thinking, and faith, while cautioning against rushing the process or using the concept to dismiss others' pain. Her message resonates with compassionate authority: you are not broken, healing is possible, and there is something meaningful waiting on the other side of survival. If you're struggling to believe transformation is possible after trauma, this conversation might just change your perspective.You ARE:SEEN KNOWN HEARD LOVED VALUED

Welcome to the She Saves Herself Podcast. In today's powerful conversation, Shannon sits down with Dr. Jennifer Caspari, author of You Are More Than Your Body, to explore what it really means to heal, emotionally, spiritually, and physically, when your body feels like a battlefield. Jennifer was born three months premature and lives with cerebral palsy. Navigating the world as a disabled person and working as a licensed clinical psychologist, she brings a rare and deeply personal insight into the healing process. Her lived experience, combined with her professional training, offers a compassionate, empowering lens for anyone struggling to reclaim their identity after illness, injury, or emotional trauma. Jennifer reminds us that we are not broken. We are not our diagnosis. We are not what happened to us. And healing doesn't mean going back to who we were, it means becoming someone new, someone wiser, someone freer.

Listen to today's podcast... Our lives can become filled with anxiety, fear, and uncertainty and with little information on where to turn, we find ourselves struggling on our own. We know that this stress can have a profound effect on our health and the lives of those around us. Traumatic events can bring about an extreme stress disorder. Whether it be living through an earthquake, surviving childhood abuse, witnessing violent acts of terrorism or being a first responder to an accident, all of these can bring about PTSD. Post-traumatic Stress can seemingly creep into our lives when we least expect it. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating PTSD Awareness Day: Treatment depends on the severity and persistence of symptoms.

I would love to hear how this episode impacted you.In this enlightening episode of the Shields Down, we explore the transformative concept of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) and its profound impact on first responders. Often confronted with challenging and traumatic situations, first responders have unique experiences that can lead to significant personal development and a renewed perspective on life. We begin by understanding PTG, delving into how struggling with adversity can result in positive psychological changes. You'll learn that growth doesn't negate the distress of traumatic events but uses it as a catalyst for change—leading to stronger relationships, increased resilience, and a deeper appreciation for life. The conversation then shifts to embracing the journey of healing, acknowledging that it's not a linear path but one that requires patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to face challenges head-on. We discuss the importance of building a supportive community, the power of mindfulness and self-awareness, and how transforming adversity into an opportunity can foster profound personal growth. Finally, we offer practical ways to foster growth in daily life. This includes strategies like reframing negative experiences to find lessons and strengths, incorporating gratitude to enhance emotional resilience, and seeking support while developing a growth mindset.

On this episode of The Debrief we are going to be looking at Post Traumatic Stress and Post Traumatic Growth.  These are two topics that I am extremely passionate about because, as you might imagine, each incident we cover on The Debrief has had a profound effect on everyone involved.  Over the years that I have been working with teams and the years I have hosted this show I have seen people destroyed by their experiences.  Yet I have also seen others use the trauma they endured to build a stronger, happier and more purposeful version of themselves.   Although I have certainly seen patterns, I have always wondered what separated these two groups of people, which is why I wanted to have this discussion on Post Traumatic Growth.  Simply put there is a LOT we can do to prepare for and respond to traumatic incidents that will reduce the fallout to those involved.All of my guests today have a different perspective on Post traumatic growth.  Dr. Richard Tedeschi is the world's foremost authority on Post Traumatic Growth and literally coined the expression.  His work forms the foundation for most PTG programs.  Josh Goldberg is the CEO of Boulder Crest Foundation, a nonprofit whose Warrior Path and Struggle Well programs have reached over 100,000 people.And Finally Chief Chad Kasmar is the current Chief of Police in Tucson Arizona.  Following the suicide of a friend and former fellow officer Chad has led a revolution in the way his city prepares and supports their staff for traumatic incidents.  He has a truly unique perspective on the implementation of these types of programs.I hope you enjoy this deep dive into Post Traumatic Growth and that this episode inspires you and your agencies to improve on the way we prepare and treat our warriors and first responders. Resources: Boulder Crest Foundation – www.bouldercrest.org Boulder Crest: Reborn - Boulder Crest Foundation Presents: Reborn - YouTube

When a UK celeb was spotted with someone new, all the comments screamed "upgrade"—but Cassidy and Josh argue it's time we retire that toxic language.

Grief, adversity, and trauma are common, formative human experiences that people move through and grow from. Yet, we often avoid talking about this process, making it harder to understand how people make meaning from grief. Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) offers us a paradigm for how to make sense of hard experiences and move forward in ways that deepen our connections with ourselves and each other. In this episode, teens share their stories and we hear from Dr. Taryn Greene, a research psychologist who works with the Boulder Crest Foundation to study PTG.  Check out Boulder Crest's PTG story challenge, with opportunities to win funding to share your story.

How do you navigate grief while maintaining your productivity and capacity? In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey through the loss of my beloved dog, Bear, and how I approached grief in a way that honored our relationship while still allowing me to return to work with even greater capacity.   I take you through my process of "productive grief" - not rushing through emotions or forcing myself back to work, but fully experiencing and honoring my grief in a way that felt authentic and healing. What emerged on the other side of this experience was what I call "post-traumatic capacity" - an expanded ability to show up in my life and business with even greater energy and focus than before.    If you want to start making serious money as a coach, you need to check out 2K for 2K.

Post-traumatic growth is more than survival—it's transformation. Discover how stroke recovery can lead to purpose, strength, and renewed life. The post The Growth You Didn't Know You Were Having – Post Traumatic Growth After Stroke appeared first on Recovery After Stroke.

Dr. Thema Bryant, a psychologist and minister, integrates faith and science to advocate for holistic healing and resilience, a perspective deeply influenced by her personal journey and family background. With roots in her father's pastoral counseling and her mother's mental health journey, Dr. Bryant believes in the profound potential of restoration and the reclamation of joy and trust, particularly after trauma. Her experiences as a trauma survivor inform her unique approach, which emphasizes learning from past mistakes and seeking wisdom from those with healthy relationships to foster true healing. Through her work, including her book "Matters of the Heart," Dr. Bryant underscores the transformative power of turning personal pain into empowerment and the importance of authentic, loving relationships in the journey to healing. Key takeaways: - Pain can birth purpose and lead to empowerment and healing through sharing personal stories. - Breaking the stigma around mental health, therapy, and faith is essential for seeking help without shame or judgment. - Trauma survivors can reclaim joy, trust, intimacy, and confidence through self-exploration and healthy relationships. - Anxiety and insecurity can hinder genuine connections in relationships by promoting emotional unavailability and false intimacy. - Self-awareness and humility are key in recognizing and changing persistent relationship patterns for personal growth. - True fulfillment comes from living authentically, nurturing loving relationships, and investing in mutual, reciprocal connections. - Balancing emotional and spiritual well-being involves practicing mutuality and reciprocity in relationships to support personal growth and deepen connections.

Post traumatic stress with a chronic illness is a realty for many. I experience PTS every time I see an ambulance. I remember and relive every moment of being taken to the hospital knowing I may go into cardiac arrest. The trauma I carry is real not only for me but for my family.
