At 35 weeks I chose to give up the home birth I'd wanted and planned, in order to overcome and prepare for some risks that came into the picture. In this episode I'm sharing my birth story w/baby #4. To me, the beauty of birth is not about how the baby comes into the world. It's not about twinkle lights, a pretty environment or a birth tub. What is beautiful and inspiring to me in birth is the woman's power of choice. My body felt the fear days later after my emergency C-section... but in this moment, I stepped up. For me, for her.

To cap off Season 3: Mental Health & Neurodiversity, we have an amazing guest who is fighting the good fight. Nikki Naglich is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner at a mental health hospital in the suburbs of Chicago. She talks about treating serious mental illness, the difference between inpatient & outpatient work, and her hopes for her patients' futures.   We discuss why and when people are brought to an inpatient psych unit, which can involve police bringing a psychotic patient to the hospital instead of to jail (given someone's psychosis may include agression/violence, destruction of property, a threat or harm to oneself or others). Nikki talks about having a good relationship with the local police force, and that calling the police is an option if there is a situation where one feels unsafe or threatened. Nikki and everyone at I Am Speaking are aware and note that involving the police is not the first or ideal option for dealing with a mental health crisis.  “At the end of the day, police are trained to handle criminal activity, not provide health care. Many police tactics (including strategies of intimidation and control) are counterintuitive in mental health emergencies, where people need empathy and care.” - I Don't Mind Depending on the area and the situation, calling the police could exacerbate the situation, especially if the person is a person of color (POC.) Nikki speaks of understanding, deescalation and empathy. If you must call the police, NAMI has some advice here: tinyurl.com/3rt625w3 Nikki is a wealth of knowledge, but you hear the compassion come through loud and clear. She loves what she does, even when it's hard. And we are glad she's caring for people who have been marginalized, victimized, and demonized. Nikki, thank you for doing what you do. We need more people like you in mental healthcare.  DISCLAIMER: I Am Speaking is for information, education and entertainment purposes only.

From jail time to living on the streets, it takes pure determination and a belief in yourself to trust that who you are is more important that what your life circumstances have handed you. Sharing his heartfelt story of coming out with it's crazy myriad of twists and turns, author, Burak Yilmaz takes us into his world of thriving beyond the impossible. About Burak Burak Yilmaz was born and raised in Turkey. He always wanted to write, using it to escape the harsh reality of being forced to hide who and what he truly was. Life took a twist when Burak's father discovered his son was gay. At just seventeen years old, Burak was thrown out into the streets and left to survive on his own in a society that didn't want him. Instead of breaking, Burak summoned the depths of his strength and wrote his first book at twenty-two years old. Burak published his book under the pen name Devrim Yilmaz to protect himself from the dangers of writing such a book called Bir Escinselin Siradan Hikayesi (An Ordinary Story of a Homosexual) became an instant bestseller, earning him accolades and unwanted attention. Burak was arrested and tortured after completing a television interview. Again, he clung to himself and, after being released, escaped Turkey. His journey took him to the United States, where he currently resides. Life seldom asks what we want, however. Burak worked as a model for erotic magazines and in some of the most popular nightclubs in New York City. It was a poison-filled life that left him at the point of moral bankruptcy, depressed and suicidal. The light dawned on Burak after checking in to a psychiatric rehab facility, and he turned his life around. After receiving his GED, he graduated from nursing school at NYU with honors and multiple scholarships. Now a successful Registered Nurse in critical care settings, Burak's passion is advancing his degree in Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. If My Mother Never Left, detailing raw and emotional events after his first book. Burak Yilmaz opened up the depths of his soul for the world to read. About The Book In, If My Mother Never Left, you will step into a harrowing and profoundly moving story of one man's battle against abuse, depression, gaslighting, and homelessness. Being abandoned by his mother and subjected to years of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of his uncle and stepmother, Burak Yilmaz has few fond memories of his childhood. And when his family discovers the truth about his sexuality, he's cast onto the streets by his father and left to fend for himself. Burak Yilmaz survives by doing things he never imagined–but that only sends him deeper down a self-destructive spiral. Even after he escapes to New York to rebuild his life as a fitness model and bartender at the most popular club in NYC, the specter of his childhood continues to haunt him. Tormented by bouts of anxiety and chronic depression, the faint glimmer of rehab offers his only hope. He may have escaped his family–but can he heal the scars left behind in its wake? Told with poignant reflections and brought to life with vivid detail, this gripping and powerful memoir shares Burak Yilmaz's story, confronting the harsh...

Mary Crutchfield has led a “varied” life. Mary is from Trenton, New Jersey, but from about age eight until twenty-one, she was living all over the world. Her parents were missionaries and Mary and her family lived in Kenya, Tanzania and the Philippines. Paul and Mary discussed her life abroad including her education and the fact that she had Malaria seventeen times! Mary moved back to the United States when she was twenty-one and she talked with Paul about her re-integration to life back in the states. She told him how she was lucky to have so many people help her including her aunt which led her to settling in Virginia. Mary is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and opened her business Leva Psychiatry about five years ago. She and Paul discussed mental health in general, the way she treats her clients and the crisis calls that were rampant during Covid-19. They finished the episode by Paul asking Mary some questions about mental health and with her telling him a little more about her family.

Burak Yilmaz was thrown into Turkish prison in 2002. His crime? Being a homosexual. Burak had written a Sex in the City-style book about the gay community and his gay exploits in Islamic Turkey, hoping an anonymous pen name would keep him safe. Once the book hit bestseller, the Turkish government came looking. After years of torture in prison, Burak was released. He immediately fled to New York, where he endured homelessness, sexual abuse, and racism while working to become a registered nurse. His new book, If My Mother Never Left, details his incredible journey from torture to freedom. BIO:  Burak Yilmaz was born and raised in Turkey.

***TRIGGER WARNING - This episode contains conversations about mental health and suicide.***Avremi Gourarie is a prolific music publisher behind so much of the Jewish world's music. In this episode, we discuss with him the life of his daughter Yocheved, her struggle with an eating disorder, depression, and her heartbreaking recent death.On December 22, 2020, Avremi's daughter Yocheved took her own life. Yocheved was a kind and thoughtful person. She was a top student and was in the process of applying to Ph.D. nursing programs. Posthumously, the family learned that she was accepted at Columbia University in their DNP program and on track to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Unfortunately, her battle with mental illness raged, and she succumbed to it, not having fulfilled her dreams.This conversation is powerful and it gives me a lot of hope. Avremi is honest and authentic, and he doesn't hold back. The episode is intense and emotional and it's a very much-needed conversation that can be taboo in many circles.

Swimming in the River of Love Rhonda starts today's podcast with a beautiful podcast endorsement from a fan named Vicky, from Australia, who was thrilled with the two recent live therapy podcasts with Nazli (podcasts 301 and 302). She wrote that she felt so lucky to hear someone with the exact same negative thoughts, and same feelings of depression and anxiety, that she's had since she was 10 years old. I have often said that when therapists have the courage to do their personal work in public, you not only heal yourself and learn cool techniques first-hand and experientially, but you also heal many others who are touched and inspired by you. Thanks to all of our fans for your frequent loving comments and cool questions for future Ask David podcasts. We then give a little promotion for several upcoming group events, involving: May 2, 2022.

As an aside, the app will be free since we're still involved in beta tests, but the weekly practice groups will involve an additional charge. Today we feature a love story involving Dr. Cai Chen, a young psychiatrist who did his residency training in Texas and now has moved to California to be with his love, Chan Mary Soeur, RN, BSN. Both have been members of my TEAM-CBT training group at Stanford. Cai practices at the Feeling Good Institute in Mt. View, California, and Chan Mary who is pursuing a master's degree as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Cai explains that he'd felt socially anxious and lonely for used, and used the tools in my book, Intimate Connections, when he got tired of dating sites. One crucial thing he learned is that you have to stop “chasing” if you want to find love. Then he met Chan Mary in one of the breakout groups in our weekly training group. Chan Mary said, “I also used to struggle with social anxiety. Even now, on this podcast I have thoughts that I won't be as impressive as Cai. Cai is much better at expressing himself and being vulnerable in front of others. “I've been on a personal journey to get over my intense social anxiety. I've always held back in groups, and have never been the first one to reach out. “After listening to the Feeling Good Podcast's episode on how to overcome social anxiety, I decided to challenge my fears and reach out to Cai. I contacted him and told him I really admired the courage he was showing in his transparency about his feelings, and in his courage to challenge his fears with the many Interpersonal Exposure Techniques we were learning about in our training. “I also decided to try another technique, Flirting Training. I told him that I thought everything he was doing was inspirational, and that I felt close to him.” Rhonda asked about the importance of taking risks if you struggle with social anxiety. Chan Mary explained it like this: “I was extremely anxious about reaching out to someone I didn't know. For me, a simple thank you email and introducing myself was anxiety provoking because I had never done that before. I was also worried about asking too many questions because I didn't want to come off as intrusive or even bothersome.” Chan Mary continues: “After conquering my initial fears of reaching out, I went even further, I invited him to join me for a week in Hawaii as our first date in 2021 for my vacation. I usually went on a medical mission to Cambodia, but couldn't because of the pandemic. So I did the boldest thing ever—I met him in person in Hawaii!” Cai describes the fears he had: “I was scared. I thought, ;what if we get too close and our relationship falls apart.' In fact, after accepting the invite, I called and told her that I'd changed my mind. She got angry, and I realized I had mixed feelings, so I turned to David's Decision-Making Tool. (You can get it for free at the free chapter link on the bottom of the home page of David's website.) “This tool helped me see why I was stuck, so I called Chan Marie back and asked for her forgiveness. I'd been hiding my feelings, so I told her I really liked her and had been afraid of ruining a great relationship.” Chan Mary said: “I was scared, too. But I told myself to trust myself, and that it felt safe to trust him, too.” The rest, as they say, is history. The date was terrific, and after some initial hesitation, Cai decided to move from Texas to California to be with “the love of my life!” Was it all roses from then on? All relationships, I'm pretty sure, have difficulties, and Cai and Chan Mary explained that they both have trouble expressing negative feelings. Cai explained it like this: “I always try to be nice, so I push my negative feelings down, and automatically sweep them under the rug. Chan Mary helps me with this. She pushes me to tell her what I'm upset about. And although it's frightening at first, once we express our negative feelings they kid of fizzle out. Chan Mary has become an expert in David's five Secrets of Effective Communication, and that has helped tremendously.” Chan Mary explained her difficulties with negative feelings like this: “The Hidden Emotion Technique has been helpful for me when I start to feel anxious or upset. I have to reflect and ask myself, ‘What's the deeper issue here?' Often, I don't even know what I'm upset about!” Chan Mary added: “Thank you to David and Rhonda and everyone who made the Feeling Good Podcast possible. I'm just like many of your listeners, and this podcast has been life-changing. The techniques, you shared on the podcast have transformed my life! If I did not take the steps to conquer my social anxiety, Cai and I probably would not be here today.“ Cai and Chan Mary are delightful, and their obvious love is an inspiration in this time of increasing violence in the world and such intense political divide and hatred here at home. I asked where their relationship is heading and Chan Mary hinted that Rhonda and David might be getting invitations to a wedding one day soon! Cai and Chan Mary are two of my favorite people in the whole world. It's a privilege and a blessing to know them and share a little of their lives. This is Rhonda…. "I love Cai and Chan Mary, too. I was in the Tuesday Stanford TEAM Training group for years with Chan Mary, and feel really close to her for lots of shared experiences. I am lucky enough to see Cai every Wednesday in our International TEAM Therapy Training Group, and I always look forward to reading the wise comments he writes on the TEAM certified listserve. Next week, we'll look at the other side of the coin, as Professor Mark Noble leads a discussion on the recent rise in loneliness, which is often associated with social anxiety. Warmly, Cai, Chan Mary, Rhonda, and David

On episode 373 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Claire Afua Ellerbrock, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, regarding her fascinating career journey. Keith and Claire discuss the challenges faced by new NPs, underserved populations, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders, tribal health, and the trend toward the DNP. Also discussed is Claire's business, NP for NPs, and her signature Transition to Practice online course for new NPs. Claire Ellerbrock is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Columbus, Ohio. Claire found that while her graduate program prepared her for being a nurse practitioner, she could have benefitted from more support in the transition period into practice. This realization led her to create NP for NPs: Nurtured Path For Nurse Practitioners, an online course and coaching program that guides NP students and recent grads in the transition period from graduation into practice. Claire provides resources about board certification and licensure, how to effectively interview, negotiate job offer contracts, and find clinical support once in the role. Her vision is to help empower all NPs to recognize their value and agency in practice. Claire is also passionate about health equity and providing quality mental health care to marginalized and under-served populations. Claire received her DNP from Kent State University, MSN from Case Western Reserve University, and BA in Psychology from Washington University in St Louis.
