If you've ever felt like your mood has a mind of its own during PMS, pregnancy, or perimenopause, you already know that hormones like estrogen and progesterone don't just affect your body — they shape your entire sense of well-being. And if you've lived with trauma or neurodivergence, like ADHD, you also know how reactive the nervous system can be. What happens when all of that collides during midlife and menopause…and hormone therapy gets added to the mix? For some women, the results are anything but balanced. This week's guest, trauma therapist Paula Rastrick, knows that firsthand. She opens up about her harrowing experience with high-dose hormone therapy — an intervention that nearly unraveled her — and shares what she's uncovered about the deep, complex relationship between hormones, nervous system sensitivity, trauma, and stress. Paula Rastrick is a trauma therapist, author and creator of The Brain-Body Method, an integrated trauma-informed and neurodiverse approach to hormonal sensitivity. She is a BSc (Hons) in Sport & Exercise Psychology; has postgraduate certification in Psychological Trauma, Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EDMR) Trauma Therapy, is a Safe and Sound Protocol Practitioner and has training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), pain science, and integrated kinetic neurology. She's also done trauma-informed continuing professional development work in yoga therapy, applied polyvagal theory in yoga, vagus nerve integration, HRV training, performance psychology, and somatic psychology.

On today's episode, we're going even deeper into my stalker situation. I'll be sharing more details about his delusional tendencies—including how he's gone as far as pretending to be a police officer to manipulate and control people (which is a crime, by the way). I'll also be answering the questions I've received from you all about this ongoing situation.Law enforcement is now more involved (actual police, not to be confused with blue light bandits), we know everything, and we'll be handling it all legally.

Rick Olderman, MSPT comes back to discuss his new book Pain Patterns: Why You Are in Pain and How to Stop It. He helps us understand how he connected the dots between the following concepts to create a healing treatment plan for chronic pain.The Connection Between Movement, Fascia and Reflexes in Pain: Most people don't realize that their daily movement habits—how they walk, sit, or stand—is connected to strong lines of fascia (connective tissue) running through the body and deep reflex patterns we're born with. "Functional Linking" – The Link Between Past Injuries and Current Pain: Many of us have old injuries that we may have forgotten but still seem to haunt us. I've introduced the concept of "Functional Linking," which explains how these past injuries can silently contribute to current pain, offering new paths to healing. A Potential Pathway by which Psychological Trauma or Stressors Might Manifest as Physical Pain: This has to do with a little known type of fascia that is triggered to contract by hormone-like molecules released during stress or trauma.To learn more go to rickolderman.com, follow him on Instagram @fixingyouclinic, and subscribe to his YouTube @RickOldermanPTCheck out Rick's previous episode #162 Visit ConfidenceThroughHealth.com to find discounts to some of our favorite products.Follow me via All In Health and Wellness on Facebook or Instagram.Find my books on Amazon: No More Sugar Coating: Finding Your Happiness in a Crowded World and Confidence Through Health: Live the Healthy Lifestyle God DesignedProduction credit: Social Media Cowboys

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Preston Hill and Sarey Conception for a conversation about psychological trauma and theology. Preston's academic work focuses on trauma theology, aiming to help people of faith understand and address trauma through a science-informed approach. The conversation delves into the importance of balancing the seriousness of trauma with the possibilities for hope and healing. Additionally, we discuss the launch of the Spiritual First Responders Project. WATCH the conversation on YouTube here. Dr. Preston Hill serves as Assistant Professor of Integrative Theology at Richmont Graduate University and the Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program. ln 2021 he completed a Ph.D. in Theology at St Mary's College, University of St Andrews, having previously completed an MLitt degree in Analytic and Exegetical Theology from the Logos Institute at St Andrews. He has released his first coauthored book with Scott Harrower and Joshua Cockayne entitled Dawn of Sunday: The Trinity and Trauma-Safe Church (Cascade) and is releasing his first edited volume entitled Christ and Trauma: Theology East of Eden (Pickwick Publications). Dr. Hill is also ordained in the Anglican tradition and is a pre-licensed clinical pastoral therapist. Spiritual First Responders Project: Spiritual thriving after a big faith change is possible! The Spiritual First Responders Project is a new resource for navigating faith change with evidence-backed processing groups led by licensed mental health professionals. They are looking for folks who have de-identified from religion but are still seeking a healthy community and some sort of healthy spiritual practice. We know that globally, one out of every five people used to identify as religious and now no longer identify as religious. Half of those folks still have persisting spiritual desires and don't feel like those desires are being satisfied. There's no current social infrastructure to help them flourish how they want. If you aren't finding room for doubting, questioning, or exploring other parts of your own tradition and other traditions altogether, and you want a safe community to do so, consider joining the SFRP. The essential aim is to provide groups that are aimed to meet the unique needs of this population. So if you would benefit from a safe, anonymous group led by a licensed mental health professional, check it out. _____________________ Join my Substack - Process This!

Having been a student of Yoga Psychotherapist Ashley Turner for well over a decade, todays episode is an absolute prividge.

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Tony Brueski and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis delve into a complex case involving Ashley, who is accused of killing her husband, Doug. The discussion centers on whether Ashley's actions were justified given her history of alleged abuse and impulsivity. The conversation highlights the challenge for the jury to determine if a reasonable person in Ashley's situation would have acted similarly. Ava, Doug's daughter, provides testimony painting a picture of a seemingly peaceful relationship, yet inconsistencies like a bullet hole in the ceiling suggest underlying conflicts. Faddis notes the difficulty in assessing the true nature of their relationship, especially with potential abuse factors at play. The debate extends to whether Ashley poses a future danger and if her actions were legally justified due to perceived threats. The defense strategy leans heavily on the cumulative psychological impact of alleged abuse, akin to battered spouse syndrome, arguing that prolonged mistreatment can distort reality and provoke extreme reactions. ### Main Points - Tony Brueski and Eric Faddis discuss the case of Ashley, who allegedly killed her husband, Doug. - The jury must consider if Ashley's actions were reasonable based on her life context and alleged abuse. - Ava, Doug's daughter, testifies to a seemingly conflict-free relationship, contradicted by evidence like a bullet hole. - Faddis highlights the difficulty in evaluating private relationship dynamics and potential abuse. - The conversation raises questions about Ashley's future danger and whether her actions were legally justified. - The defense focuses on the psychological impact of alleged abuse, drawing parallels to battered spouse syndrome. - The case hinges on whether prolonged mistreatment can justify extreme reactions and distort one's perception of reality. ### Hashtags #Ashley #Doug #TonyBrueski #EricFaddis #BatteredSpouseSyndrome #AbuseDefense #LegalJustification Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this illuminating extract from his IMMH 2023 presentation, Dr. Porges takes us on a fascinating tour of his groundbreaking polyvagal theory, the connection between our nervous system and mental health, and the role of the vagus nerve in regulating emotions and responses to trauma. With a distinguished career spanning multiple institutions and numerous accolades, Dr. Porges shares insights on how understanding and managing the nervous system can revolutionise mental health treatment. Dr. Stephen Porges is a distinguished university scientist at Indiana University, the founding director of the Traumatic Stress Research Consortium at the Kinsey Institute, and a professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina. He is also a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Maryland. With over 400 peer-reviewed scientific papers and several influential books, Dr. Porges has significantly advanced our understanding of the nervous system's role in mental health. His latest book, Our Polyvagal World: Health, Safety, and Trauma, co-authored with his son Seth Porges, further explores these themes. In this episode, learn about: Mechanisms of the autonomic nervous system: an in-depth exploration of the ventral vagal complex and its role in modulating physiological responses to stress and safety Polyvagal Theory in clinical practice: practical applications of Polyvagal Theory in therapeutic settings, including strategies for enhancing autonomic regulation and resilience in patients The concept of neuroception and its implications for understanding how the nervous system detects and responds to environmental cues of safety and threat Advanced therapeutic interventions based on Polyvagal Theory, focusing on how to effectively engage the parasympathetic nervous system to improve outcomes in trauma and stress-related disorders The significance of assessing and modulating autonomic state to optimise therapeutic interventions and improve patient outcomes in mental health treatment How the evolution of the autonomic nervous system supports social behaviours and the implications for mental health treatments Understanding the physiological underpinnings of emotional regulation and dysregulation through the lens of Polyvagal Theory Cutting-edge methods for assessing autonomic state and bio-behavioural reactivity to enhance diagnostic accuracy and personalise treatment plans Dr. Porges will be elaborating on this theory and putting it into practice at the Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Conference (IMMH 2024) in Washington, DC, October 2024. There he will be presenting his new polyvagal music initiative, designed to regulate the nervous system using musical interventions. He will be teaming up with Seth Porges, his son and co-author of “Our Polyvagal World” and celebrated Music Producer Anthony Gorry to present The Transformative Power of Music Scientifically Composed to Signal Safety to the Nervous System.

Welcome to episode 11 of The Privileged Man podcast with Dr Joy Schaverien. Joy is a Jungian psychoanalyst, psychotherapist and supervisor. In 2015 Joy authored the book “Boarding School Syndrome” where she describes common symptoms suffered by those affected by early boarding after extensive research with ex-boarders, in psychotherapy and in semi-structured interviews. Since the release of the book Joy has been invited on Channel 4 News and LBC Radio and her book has been reviewed favourably in the Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Times to name a few. Spending time with Joy was an enlightening experience and I am extremely grateful for her time and passion around a subject not often talked about and as such, widely misunderstood.For More Information on The Privileged Man, please visit:The Privileged Man - https://www.theprivilegedman.com/Your Wheel of Life - https://www.theprivilegedman.com/insights/
In "A Child Called 'It'," author Dave Pelzer recounts a profoundly shocking personal history of childhood mistreatment, marking it as one of the most extreme cases of child abuse recorded in California. The memoir garnered significant attention, staying on the New York Times best-seller list for an extended period and earning a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize. The narrative begins with Pelzer's early school years, highlighting the onset of abuse by his mentally unstable and alcoholic mother. From first through fifth grade, he endured severe physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. His mother's cruelty escalated to the point of denying his identity, referring to him as "it" rather than his name. The constant abuse nearly led to his death, until intervention by authorities. Despite the harrowing experiences, Pelzer's resolve to survive and his faith were undiminished, driving him to not only overcome these challenges but to share his story with the world. Born on December 29, 1960, in San Francisco, Pelzer is recognized for his autobiographical and self-help writings. His 1995 memoir reached significant commercial success, staying on The New York Times Best Seller list for numerous years and selling over 1.6 million copies within five years. The publication of this book brought Pelzer widespread fame, though it has also been the subject of debate and skepticism, with some family members and journalists questioning the authenticity of certain events depicted.

“Communication Autistic individuals may have problems communicating sexual needs which can cause issues in intimate relationships. They may seek to satisfy these needs on their own, rather than communicate them with their partner. In turn, this can result in hurt feelings.4 In some cases, lapses in communication regarding sex can turn into sexual coercion. This occurs when one individual stresses a need for sex so strongly and inappropriately that it becomes increasingly difficult and uncomfortable for the other person to turn them down. Recognizing when expressing interest in sex becomes demanding may also be challenging for autistic partners. This being because factors that determine what is and is not appropriate greatly depends on the other person's social cues. Seeing as this form of coercion is common in teenagers—for example, wanting to be liked by someone leads to doing whatever is necessary to please this person—it is essential that parents of autistic teens learn effective ways to teach their child about healthy sexual behaviors.5 Educational Barriers Autistic individuals may struggle to stay focused for extended periods and may get mentally lost if multiple topics are presented in rapid succession. This is likely due to issues with processing information when the individual is focused on something else. Autism can make it harder for a person to focus on a topic that they are otherwise uninterested in or uncomfortable with. Sex education carries with it a need to focus on a variety of topics that can be uncomfortable. This can pose problems for autistic folks, along with the fact that sex education centers around social behaviors and situations involving intimacy. Therefore, it is important for autistic people to be provided with sex education geared specifically towards them and that it is taught by individuals familiar with neurodiversity.6 Sexual Victimization Autistic folks may be more vulnerable to sexual victimization than neurotypical individuals.7 This includes being coerced or tricked into having sex with someone who may appear to care about them. As a result of challenges related to understanding social cues, autistic people may be more susceptible to sexual abuse. Additionally, recognizing that people may have different intentions then they put forth can be particularly difficult for autistic folks. It is not that autism makes people naïve. Rather, autistic individuals tend to take things at face value. Thus, an autistic person may not initially suspect that someone who “loves” them does not actually mean what they say. Understanding Public Vs. Private Behaviors Social behaviors can be quite complex. Nowhere else is this more evident than when making a determination between what can and cannot be shared publicly. Autism is believed to cause lapses in social comprehension, which can make it particularly challenging for neurodiverse individuals to make the distinction between private and socially appropriate thoughts. Sexual behaviors and feelings are a perfect representation of this. Generally, sexual feelings are not expressed publicly without some form of associated negative response or connotation. Even the most minor type of sexual behavior in public can result in many problems. Deciding what sexual behavior is acceptable around others is a complex task magnified by the intensity and subjectivity of sexual feelings. An autistic individual may overstep certain societal boundaries due difficulties understanding social cues or constructs regarding sex.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Is psychological trauma really just in the mind? Research suggests it isn't.Today we're interviewing two innovators on the front lines of life sciences and co-authors of a recent book. Dr. Lipov has been called the “Einstein of modern anesthesiology” He's a renowned board-certified pain specialist and a huge proponent of the stellate ganglion block, a minimally invasive procedure that has been proven effective in treating PTSD symptoms. Jamie Mustard is an artist and a renowned strategic consultant. He is the author of the bestselling book “The Iconist: The Art and Science of Standing Out." Beginning as a child and then into adulthood he suffered years of trauma at varying levels before stumbling across Dr. Lipov and the Dual Sympathetic Reset Procedure or DSR. Today we're going to dive into their groundbreaking revelation that psychological trauma manifests as a physical injury that can be seen and monitored on a brain scan, and their revolutionary approach to resetting the sympathetic nervous system that has helped countless patients suffering from chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, and other related conditions.THE INVISIBLE MACHINE: The Startling Truth About Trauma and the Scientific Breakthrough That Can Transform Your Life [April 11, 2023]Qualio website:https://www.qualio.com/ Previous episodes:https://www.qualio.com/from-lab-to-launch-podcast Apply to be on the show:https://forms.gle/uUH2YtCFxJHrVGeL8 Music by keldez

UNICEF Australia is warning children need specific disaster recovery services, and you cannot just leave their wellbeing to chance. Thousands of young Australian children need intensive mental health support after catastrophic flooding in parts of New South Wales and Queensland in February and March last year. Twenty-two people died and like here, the severity and speed of the weather meant many people were caught with little time to evacuate leading to roof top rescues. Nicole Breeze from UNICEF Australia's been part of a joint project asessing the needs of children caught up in the floods.
At the end of last week's episode, I briefly mentioned the idea that boys and girls experience prenatal and postnatal parental stress differently. A listener reached out and asked about that. I embarked on the task of researching this. I did not find much, but what I did find was interesting and worth talking about. I hope it is meaningful to you, and that you can make some sense of it. Men and women experience post-traumatic stress disorder and potential traumatic encounters differently. Diagnostic criteria, types of trauma, and coping strategies are unique in men and women. Listen to this week's podcast for some insight into the new research that explains how and why this is the case. Below are a couple of articles for your reference.

Ep. 49 | In this fast-paced dialogue, Dr. Dawson Church, best-selling author, scientist, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) coach, and Energy Psychology Journal editor, explains what an incredibly effective treatment meridian tapping is in the healing of veterans and others suffering from PTSD. “Tapping while remembering” creates a cognitive shift to where something intensely traumatic can be transformed into something positive. And EFT is not only for individuals suffering from trauma. Dawson reveals how unconditional self-love is crucial in creating space for personal growth and together with exposure therapy—all part of energy psychology and emotional freedom techniques—is an amazing tool for transforming our lives so we can experience the sheer joy of living to our full potential. “Why do we shut down our laughter, our joy, our creativity, and tell ourselves all these stories about our limitations? They're lies! Self-perpetuating loops in our head. It's time to dump them,” says Dawson. Dawson packs the conversation with fascinating research statistics that are very convincing as to the enormous healing and transformative potential of EFT and other body based therapies. His passion for making these new energetic, psychotherapeutic, and contemplative tools known and available to people is palpable, and he is a vibrant example of someone who has indeed transformed his life into one of positive energy, service, and joy. Recorded on August 31, 2022. “Meditate, tap, shift yourself—love yourself enough to apply these techniques in your life.” (For Apple Podcast users, https://deeptransformation.io/dawson-church-healing-psychological-trauma-energy-psychology-meridian-tapping (click here to view the complete show notes on the episode page.))

There is a theme that runs through responses that I receive from children of a narcissistic parent (s). The child is subjected to unbearable levels of ongoing abuse - scalding criticisms, withering humiliations in front of other family members, horrendous acts of psychological and literal abandonment. When the victim of a narcissist tells the truth about his dreadful pathological parernt, he is not treated with kindness or understanding. The narcissistic mother or father gets a complete pass. I believe you and know how courageous you are. You are traveling along your pathway of healing, restoration, the evolution of the true authentic, creative self.
