Here's some information about Nicole, in case some of you are new to Sexual Assault Survivor Stories. Nicole is a frequent guest on this show, and I want you to know some information about her. This information is published by Force Science, Nicole's employer, on their website: “Nicole Florisi, PsyD Candidate, LEO Director of Curriculum & Content Development, Staff Instructor Force Science Biography Nicole has extensive experience as an educator, police officer, and therapist. She provides front-line instruction in de-escalation, crisis communications, and force encounters investigations. With over 25 years of experience, she has held positions including communications specialist, patrol officer, patrol sergeant, investigator, and acting chief. She has held previous roles as a Law Enforcement Subject Matter Expert at and as the Executive Director for the Verde Valley Sanctuary; a shelter dedicated to providing services for victims of sex trafficking, sexual violence, and domestic violence. Nicole is currently working on her doctorate in clinical psychology. She holds two post-master's degrees; one in Human Factors Psychology and one in Trauma Counseling; an M.S. in Professional Counseling; and a B.S. in Public Safety Administration and Emergency Management.” Just over a month ago, Nicole Florisi reached out to me to let me know that there was a not-so-great situation that had recently come to her attention regarding a domestic violence/sex assault shelter. She told me that several residents of this particular shelter had reached out to inform her that there were some pretty extreme reports of inappropriate behavior and abuses perpetrated on shelter clientele at the hands of some of the shelter staff. Before I go any further, I want to emphasize that these reports were not initiated by Nicole, but rather by clientele residents of the shelter referenced in the reports. At the time Nicole reached out to me in July, we were not releasing the name of the shelter. But since the time of that recording, reports of the abuses and poor living conditions at the shelter were made public through an article published by the local newspaper, the . The shelter at the center of the reports is Verde Valley Sanctuary (VVS), which is the shelter at which Nicole had been the Executive Director. And the reason clientele of the shelter were reaching out to Nicole is because they know her, trust her, and thought that Nicole may be able to help. These reports had started coming to Nicole in the fall of 2023, and Nicole forwarded those reports, via email,  to the shelter administration and board of directors in October, 2023. Because Nicole did not receive any type of acknowledgement of her report from either the shelter or administration, she forwarded a second report to the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence (ACESDV). The response that Nicole received from ACESDV, was that “ACESDV has visited the program and has not seen anything of concern.” But the reports of abuses and lack of services continued to come in from shelter clientele, and now were also being received by staff employees that had been terminated by the new Executive Director. Those same previous VVS personnel were forwarding some of the resident complaints to the newspaper, which in July 2024 published a story, “”. When Nicole reached out to me last month and told me about this entire situation, I was resolved to get her on SASS and discuss this situation; not to disparage Verde Valley Sanctuary, but to give an additional voice to the affected clientele residents, and to educate, discuss solutions, and talk about reporting options to my audience in case they are currently in a similar situation or find themselves in a shelter of any kind, anytime in the future. CURRENT SITUATION: Since it has been over a month since Nicole and I recorded this episode, I recently reached out to Nicole to let her know the episode was going to be published today (20 August 2024), and to ask her to provide me with any updates that may be available to keep you, my audience, appraised of the situation. Here is the update that Nicole sent to me: Hi Dave!  Here is an update so far: After the newspaper article came out, VVS responded to the claims with many false and misleading statements.  We are in the process of responding to this at this time.  The VVS Board President has been making untrue and disparaging remarks about me (and others who brought this to light) in emails to donors.  I do not know the status of my complaints to the state funders, as they are not required to report them to me.  Personnel from sister agencies have come forward to me after hearing about these claims, stating their clients have been telling me about how fearful they were of staff and of their mistreatment, and they have a lot of concerns about working with VVS at this time.  I had hoped we would have something more positive for you by the time this show aired, but we are still fighting the lies, manipulation, and corruption on behalf of the clients. No one should ever be victimized or re-victimized by those who are supposed to help.  Talk to you again soon, hopefully with better news. -Nicole  I hope that this episode provides some enlightenment and valuable educational information to all of my listeners, whatever situation you find yourself in. If you're a victim or survivor of rape, sexual assault, or any form of interpersonal violence and find yourself in circumstances that necessitate your need to utilize a shelter, of any kind, I hope this information is helpful.

Join hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton in this thought-provoking episode where they delve into the metaphor of "traveling light" versus "hoarding" as it relates to coping mechanisms among first responders (Affiliate Link). We examine how these professionals manage the heavy emotional and psychological loads of their jobs. We provide five examples of both healthy and potentially harmful coping strategies, helping first responders assess and optimize their emotional baggage. What You'll Learn: Regular Physical Exercise vs. Substance Use: Many first responders use regular physical activity as a healthy outlet for stress relief, helping them 'travel light' by processing stress constructively. On the flip side, turning to substances like alcohol or drugs as a form of coping can be akin to 'hoarding' harmful habits that might require intervention. Professional Counseling vs. Emotional Isolation: Seeking professional counseling is an effective way to manage job-related stress and maintain mental health. In contrast, isolating oneself emotionally and not sharing burdens can accumulate stress, overwhelming an individual's ability to cope. Hobbies and Interests vs. Work Obsession: Engaging in hobbies and interests outside of work helps maintain a balanced life, effectively 'traveling light.' Conversely, an obsession with work, where no time is spent on personal development or relaxation, can lead to burnout, resembling 'hoarding' stress. Healthy Social Connections vs. Social Withdrawal: Maintaining strong social connections offers critical emotional support and relief, helping to lighten one's emotional load. Withdrawing from social interactions, however, can indicate a 'hoarding' of stressors, as it prevents the sharing and alleviating of emotional weight. Mindfulness and Meditation vs. Denial of Problems: Adopting practices like mindfulness and meditation can help manage stress and promote mental clarity, symbolizing 'traveling light.' Ignoring problems or denying any stress related to the job can accumulate, leading to more severe mental health issues, a form of dangerous 'hoarding.' Join Us: Tune in to "Do You Travel Light or Are You a Hoarder?" to explore these coping mechanisms more deeply. Learn how to identify whether you are managing your stress in a healthy way or if you're accumulating it in ways that might be harmful. This episode is crucial for anyone in the high-stress field of first response, providing insights into maintaining psychological resilience and emotional well-being.

Ever wonder what holds people back from living fully now? What's in the way? Or how people can be so toxic AND successful? It's next to impossible to live a legacy now with genuine abandon and joy without a journey of personal wholeness. Jenna Riemersma explains the internal journey we make to free ourselves internally. Using the IFS (internal family systems therapy) we discuss embarrassing habits, debilitating anxiety, selfish motives, addiction and toxic thoughts as real struggles facing us all. How do we approach inner healing to really live differently? Jenna is the founder and clinical director of The Atlanta Center for Relational Healing. She is teaching faculty for the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP) and core faculty for Addo Recovery. She holds a master's degree in Public Policy from Harvard University and a master's degree in Professional Counseling from Richmont Graduate University.

Jenna is transparently joyful, open, wise and qualified to lead us toward wholeness as we seek to live lives that matter now. https://jennariemersma.com | https://ifs-institute.com/nobadparts | www.movetoward.com | https://www.wvi.org/publications/research/water-sanitation-and-hygiene/strong-women-strong-world-beyond-access-learning This is a public episode.

Watch on YouTube Transcript coming soon Highlights 3:50 Introduction to Joy, a therapist and wife of Pastor Jeff from Hello Saints 4:50 What moving to Utah has been like as someone that isn't LDS 6:30 Joy's faith development and journey 10:00 The stigma of being a pastor's wife and high expectations of other people 11:10 Advice to a pastor's or bishop's wife 14:15 Journey to becoming a therapist 17:00 Religion and shame. We don't experience God's love and grace through shame. 21:40 Helping someone through their shame 26:40 There is no shame in having a need or desire. You deserve to have your needs met and don't need to feel shame. 28:30 When we feel broken we often feel shame. When people feel shame it's because they have some sort of need. However, brokenness is an opportunity to receive and feel God's love and grace. 32:30 How can a bishop help someone buried in shame? 34:00 Joy shares an experience she had as a teen with an abusive pastor. She carried shame from the experience for many years. However, she was able to heal by instead of saying what is wrong with me? But what happened to me? 36:00 We focus so much on the sin and behavior but we should ask what happened? Why are we going towards sin? What led to the addiction? 38:00 Sin destroys our identity. Knowing and feeling the love of God. Do you understand and feel your belovedness? 39:45 Even with grace our lives will not be pain free. We can experience grace but we are going to have to experience grief and sorrow. 41:00 Wounding and brokenness. We have to allow our pain to lead us to Jesus and not sinful behavior. 44:00 When we hyperfocus on the behaviors we bypass our hearts, we bypass our feelings and our emotions and try to achieve certain behaviors and what looks good on the outside but inside we are still a mess. We haven't truly healed. 51:00 Showing up for people and lamenting with them. How can we do that when we haven't experienced what they have experienced? 53:30 We shouldn't try to pull people out of their pain but sit with them in their pain. We have to feel discomfort in order to heal. 54:30 Where there is shame there is also self hatred or contempt for others. One thing that transforms shame is compassion. 57:00 Joy shares how she has experienced Jesus in her life through trauma, wounding, and healing. “Jesus has held me together.” The Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Welcome to another episode of Soul Care for Therapists, where today we dive deep into intriguing approaches to mental health and well-being. Our special guest today we have the pleasure of sitting down with is Kandice Moss, a licensed professional counselor and board-certified dance movement therapist. Prepare to be inspired as we unravel the enchanting world of dance movement therapy, exploring its transformative impact on our lives. A Dance with Authenticity: Discovering the Power of Movement In this captivating segment, Kandice introduces us to the enchanting world of dance movement therapy, a unique therapeutic approach that utilizes movement and nonverbal communication to unlock hidden emotions and foster healing. With a friendly and passionate tone, Kandice shares her personal journey into this innovative practice, emphasizing how dance can be a powerful conduit for authentic self-expression. "Through the training, we learned so many techniques of what dance movement psychotherapy is, and I have just found to incorporate that not just in my life as a clinician and as a therapist, but in the many roles that I play...everything is a dance." The Art of Listening: Unveiling the Nonverbal Conversations Within Us Dive into the heart of dance movement therapy with Kandice, as she takes us on a journey through the nuances of nonverbal communication. In this section, Kandice shares how she delicately navigates the dance of therapy, carefully observing her clients' bodily expressions and gestures. Through poignant examples, she illuminates the profound insights that emerge when we listen to the language of the body. "I might invite them...to actually take the space...so how do we also sequence ourselves from this ball shape to the sunshine gesture that you described? So now we can put into practice all the steps that we need to do to move from this ball shape to the sunshine shape that you described." Healing Steps: Embracing Movement to Transform Trauma In this touching section, Kandice delves into the therapeutic power of movement in healing trauma. With empathy and wisdom, she walks us through how dance movement therapy offers a safe space for individuals to confront their traumas, fostering a deeper understanding of their emotional landscape. Kandice reveals how she collaborates with clients to create a healing dance that awakens their resilience. "It's a very delicate place again, where trauma lives, where anxiousness lives...how it manifests within our bodies and how we relate to others, how we relate to ourselves." Faith in Motion: The Spiritual Connection to Dance Kandice beautifully intertwines her faith with the practice of dance movement therapy. Drawing parallels between the dance of life and her spiritual beliefs, she invites us to see how dance can be a conduit for connecting with God and deepening our relationship with the divine. With warmth and grace, Kandice shares how her faith infuses every step she takes as a dance movement therapist. "Our faith is a dance, like our relationship with God is again, the give and take, the ability to enter into prayer where we're listening, okay, where we're now, we're, we're the followers, quote unquote. As we're dancing, we're listening, you know, and we're able to hear." About Kandice Moss Kandice Moss is the owner of Moss Therapy and Wellness; a creative arts psychotherapies and counseling practice. Kandice is a graduate of Columbia College Chicago, holding a Masters's degree in Dance Movement Psychotherapy and Professional Counseling. Her own experience of the healing power of dance and movement and her interest in helping individuals find their "why" led her to further her education in this field. "Connection and relationships" are her motto. Kandice is passionate about helping individuals foster self-awareness and gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by using movement as a modality to further integrate themselves into a whole BEING-- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Action Steps: Ready to dance your way to greater well-being? Here are a few action steps inspired by Kandice's insights: Explore Your Body's Language: Take a moment each day to observe your bodily sensations, movements, and gestures. What might they be telling you about your emotions and thoughts? Incorporate Movement Into Your Routine: Integrate intentional movement into your daily life. Whether it's a brief dance, a stretch, or a mindful walk, allow your body to express itself. Create a Healing Playlist: Curate a playlist of songs that resonate with your emotions. Listen to them and notice how your body responds. What shapes or movements might these songs inspire? Embrace Nonverbal Communication: Pay attention to the nonverbal cues of those around you. Practice active listening by observing body language and gestures during conversations. Cultivate Mindful Prayer or Meditation: Connect with your spirituality through movement-based practices. Incorporate gentle movements, breathwork, or dance into your prayer or meditation routine. As we conclude this enlightening conversation, we've ventured into the world of dance movement therapy with Kandice Moss. From understanding the profound language of the body to weaving spirituality into each step, Kandice's insights invite us to embrace life's dance as a transformative journey toward authenticity, healing, and connection.

Sally Mixon, the founder of Abijah's on the Backside, has a passion for horses, horse racing, and mental health. With her Masters in Professional Counseling and certification in the ARCH framework, Sally has founded an organization that uses retired race horses to serve and help military, first responders and stable workers with trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. As a young woman, Sally struggled with severe anorexia; she went into rehab, hating every second of it, and moved to East Texas to work at a semi-locked-down facility for youth to run their horse program. It was through her work there, that her idea for Abjiah's was born. Growing up in Wisconsin, in a military family, Sally knows firsthand what it's like to be a part of a veteran and first responder community.  In this episode, you will learn more about the vision and execution of Abijah on the Backside, hear stories of the impact this organization has had for veterans and first responders, how to access and utilize this organization's services, and more about Sally as a woman in a predominantly male dominated industry. This organization started at Canterbury Park of Minnesota and also has a non-profit subset through Horses for Mental Health. We all have mental health needs and how we address those needs can come in so many different ways, treatments, therapies, and communities.  If you know someone who would benefit from Abijah's on the Backside or would like to donate to their non-profit organization, go to abijahs.com __ Katie Harms @ katie@katieharms.com, www.katieharms.com or Lisa Rubin @ lisa@wardrobeconsulting.net, www.wardrobeconsulting.net .

On this episode, Laura Chandler talks with Dr. Charryse Johnson, clinical psychologist, mindfulness practitioner, and author of the book, Expired Mindsets: Releasing Patterns That No Longer Serve You Well. Charryse has a special ability to break down complex concepts into understandable actionable items. In this conversation, Laura and Charryse explore those mindsets that keep us stuck in ways of being that no longer serve us and how to change them.

Join Dr. Holmes as she interviews researcher and clinician Dr. Will Carroll on the topic of Autism Female Phenotypes. The discussion includes why females may be missed, and the diagnoses females receive before a later autism identification. Dr. Carroll will discuss a missed opportunity of research, and that is information a sister can provide with insight into having a sister on the spectrum. Other topics covered in this discussion: are friendships, eating disorders, depression, and suicide, as well as passionate interests.From Dr. Carroll's Research:From my own research, I found two types of interests: shared and unique interests. In the shared category, the women with ASD shared their interests, specifically with their sisters. These shared interests included media like cartoons and sci-fi shows or entertainment, arts and crafts, and reading. This is in comparison to those interests that were unique to the woman with ASD, such as academics, including history, art, literature, foreign languages, and musical instrument playing.Consider the systemizable factor to these Special Interests. There was a noticeable overlap in the interests, including the woman with ASD enjoying TV shows both by herself and with her sister and the woman with ASD doing crafts or handy work both by herself and with her sister. When the woman with ASD had a trusted companion (sister, parent), they could let go of their Special Interest for a time and engage in hobbies that didn't involve collecting.Considering the Female Autism Phenotype, the theory is that traits of ASD in women are uniquely different from those of men. Though my research did not look at men with ASD and their brothers, research suggests that women with ASD are more likely to have Special Interests more closely aligned with neurotypical women (Harrop et al, 2018). In my own practice, I see a number of women with ASD. Their Special interests include drawing, small gardening, collecting small tokens from an internet or video game they like, and video gaming. These women report liking the video games for the social aspect as well as the story and the achievements they earn while playing the game (Genshin Impact, Animal Crossing).Bio:Dr. Will Carroll is a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia.
