Dr. Andreas Walther is a senior researcher for science and teaching at the Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy of the University of Zurich and clinical psychotherapist with the outpatient clinic for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Behavioral Medicine of the Psychotherapeutic Centre of the University of Zurich. Andreas discussed the journey to his work focused on developing a treatment for men experiencing masculine or masked depression. He mentioned his father's struggle with depression and a serendipitous meeting with a graduate school advisor who needed a student to conduct research on men. Andreas' initial work was focused more on the effects of testosterone on mood in men, but increasingly his work led him to also integrate the investigation of masculinities into his research. He is currently conducting a clinical trial that involves the investigation of gendered depression in men. We discussed what this treatment looks like compared to a standard treatment for depression.   D83

Practising Good Self-care – What is My Counselling Philosophy? In Episode 339 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the potential dangers of dual relationships in counselling and psychotherapy  – how they arise, the ethical implications, and strategies to manage them appropriately. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sally Anne Armitage about her lecture on practising good self-care – a vital skill for therapists at every stage of their careers. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken reflect on the importance of defining and understanding your personal counselling philosophy as a student and practitioner. Dual Relationships in Counselling and Psychotherapy [starts at 03:29 mins] This week's topic explores the often-overlooked issue of dual relationships in counselling and psychotherapy  – where a therapist has another connection to their client beyond the therapeutic one. Key points discussed include: A dual relationship can involve personal, social, familial, educational, or professional overlap with a client. Common examples include supervising someone you've worked with as a client, counselling friends, or working within the same family or organisation. These relationships can: Break confidentiality boundaries Lead to power imbalances Create confusion around the therapist's role Undermine objectivity and the therapeutic alliance Ethical bodies (BACP, UKCP, NCPS) acknowledge that dual relationships sometimes arise, especially in smaller communities or training contexts, but they must be handled with extreme care. Dual relationships can damage trust, blur boundaries, and even cause clients to leave therapy prematurely if not managed appropriately. Practising Good Self-care [starts 27:13 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Sally Anne Armitage about her recent lecture on practising good self-care – a core component of professional resilience. Key points of the conversation include: Self-care is essential but often neglected by therapists. It must be intentional and planned, not left to chance. There's a key difference between leisure and self-care – some activities (like scrolling social media) may distract rather than restore. Self-care involves reconnecting the mind and body e.g. noticing when you're tired, hungry, or overwhelmed and responding accordingly. Listening to the body's cues helps prevent burnout, irritability, and emotional exhaustion. Technology and social media can disconnect us from physical awareness e.g. ignoring hunger, tiredness, or the need for rest. Practical self-care suggestions: Looking at greenery or distant views for improved mental health Listening to the body's signals (e.g. when to rest, eat, pause) Saying "no" when needed to preserve emotional capacity Recognising early signs of fatigue, such as withdrawal or irritability What is My Counselling Philosophy? [starts at 51:54 mins] In this final section, Rory and Ken explore the topic: What is my Counselling Philosophy? A question that may come up in training and supervision. Key points include: A counselling philosophy reflects your personal values, modality, and beliefs about therapeutic work. It answers: “What do I stand for as a practitioner?” and “How do I understand and approach therapy?” For person-centred therapists, it may include concepts like unconditional positive regard, trust in the process, and self-actualisation. Your philosophy may evolve over time with experience and reflection. Ethical practice means being aware of your values while respecting and prioritising the client's world and truth. Don't leave your fingerprints on the client - let them develop in their own way.

In this episode of CASAT Conversations, we are honored to welcome Dr. Steven C. Hayes, a pioneering clinical psychologist and the originator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). With decades of groundbreaking work that has transformed the field of psychotherapy, Dr. Hayes brings a deep understanding of how we build resilience, move through suffering, and live with purpose.Drawing from tribal traditions, spiritual wisdom, and cutting-edge behavioral science, Dr. Hayes shares how ACT helps people willingly take on their own history, turn toward their pain, and connect with what matters most. He reflects on pivotal moments in his career—including his TEDx Talk, Turning Pain into Purpose—and emphasizes the importance of developing mental flexibility in a post-COVID world where "5 out of 5 of us" need resilience.Dr. Hayes also critiques the systemic challenges facing the mental health field today, including the limitations of the DSM, the influence of pharmaceutical companies, and the reduction of individuals to data points in normative science. With humility and fierce compassion, he calls for a culture shift in psychotherapy—one where practitioners are empowered to trust their intuition, meet clients with curiosity, and reject categorical thinking in favor of wholeness and integration.In this episode, Dr. Hayes discusses:The role of acceptance in healing and transformationACT's connection to tribal traditions and human resilienceHow personal pain can become a path to purposeHis critique of the current mental health system and the DSMThe power of integrating all parts of ourselvesA vision for bottom-up change in psychotherapy through practitioner wisdomJoin us for a compelling and candid conversation about how we can reimagine mental health care—from the inside out—and reconnect with the core of what makes us human.Key words: acceptance and commitment therapy, ACT therapy, resilience, mental health, healing, wisdomResources: TEDTalk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o79_gmO5ppgInstitute for Better health: https://www.ibh.com/Books by Steven C.

“In Systema, you also learn to link your breath with your gait. Once again, you can link their practices with Psychic Alternate Nostril Breathing. One possible assemblage of these practices while wandering neighborhoods around the world involves setting up a progressive challenge that absorbs the mind in focusing on the procedures.  For the first cycle, inhale on your first step and exhale on your second. You can alternate your nostrils or breathe through both nostrils without the additional mental exercise. I do not believe it matters whether you inhale and exhale through your nostrils exclusively or also use your mouth, though I encourage you to experiment with both approaches, or decide based on pollution levels in your area. Observe the results and make changes as you see fit.  1 step = 1 inhale  1 step = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×     When you've done this five times, inhale over two steps and exhale over two steps. Then increase the number of steps you take while inhaling.  2 steps = 1 inhale  2 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  3 steps = 1 inhale  3 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  4 steps = 1 inhale  4 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  5 steps[…]”“reverse the process by moving back down the number of steps from 10 to 1.  For another variation, you can include breath holding. As with all these exercises, please consult a doctor before putting any of them into action, especially anything that involves holding your breath. To include breath holding while walking and alternating the breath between your nostrils, the process is simple:  1 step = 1 inhale  1 step = 1 step of holding oxygen in your lungs  1 step = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  2 steps = 1 inhale  2 steps = 2 steps of holding oxygen in your lungs  2 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×  3 steps = 1 inhale  3 steps = 3 steps of holding oxygen in your lungs  3 steps = 1 exhale  Repeat 5×     Add steps until you get to 10 (or as high as you can go) and scale down as desired.  As an alternative, you can forgo paying attention to the number of steps and count instead. I will sometimes inhale to a count of 4, hold for a count of 4 and then exhale for a count of 4. It's helpful to involve your hands to keep track of the count. Press thumb and pointer together for[…]”“a focus on the breath and non-intrusive mental content, such as counting or syllables that bring you back to the present moment.  Above Cited and attributed to it's writer, Dr. Anthony MetivierGB-will be talking more about this at The Workouts for Geriatrics,AKA, Silver Streakers ,Good for ALL Kids from 1-92, soon!#Fear,#Anxiety,#FamilyFear,#Psychoanalysis,#Psychotherapy,#MentalWellness,#HealingJourney,#GrandpaBill,#ByronAthene,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#HolisticHealing,#YouTube,#@BillHolt8792,#Podcast,#TuneIn,

Send us your questions for Fishbowl 6!Here Dr. H sits down with Lisa, a pediatric nurse practitioner, to witness her story of developmental trauma, concomitant chronic depression, and eventually her path of healing and rebuilding trust and connection, largely through psychotherapy.  During her years of intermittently crippling and suicidal depression, she was put on various psych meds, which might have helped at the time, but later became shockingly difficult to try to taper and stop. This is a story of overcoming shame, a story that looks at the question of whether people need meds for life….and it turns out, surprise surprise, that what's causing or driving depression actually really matters….and when that's a Mom wound, most psych meds are really just acting as flimsy bandages."I Love You, I Hate You, Are You My Mom?"  An intensive experiential workshop exploring transference with Dr. H and Dr. Hillary McBride, May 28-30 in Victoria BChttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/i-love-you-i-hate-you-are-you-my-mom-tickets-1112117516429?aff=ebdssbdestsearchBFTA on IG @backfromtheabysspodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/backfromtheabysspodcast/BFTA/ Dr. Hhttps://www.craigheacockmd.com/podcast-page/

Grandpa Bill welcomes back monthly Guest-Byron Athene Unmasking Fear: Our Deep Dive with Psychoanalyst Byron AtheneWelcome back to The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour! I'm your host, Grandpa Bill, and I'm thrilled to have returning guest, and friend , Byron to tonight's incredibly insightful discussion. We're tackling a fundamental human experience that touches every aspect of our lives: fear. This isn't just about being startled by a loud noise; we're venturing into the deeper realms of anxiety, exploring how fear manifests within our families, and even the complex dynamic of fearing our own family.Tonight, I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming back the esteemed psychotherapist and psychoanalyst, Byron Athene, joining us all the way from the United Kingdom. Byron's profound understanding of the human psyche will illuminate the often-unseen roots and branches of fear, offering perspectives from both psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic standpoints. We'll be unraveling how early experiences, unconscious conflicts, and family systems contribute to the fears that shape our lives.Prepare for a thought-provoking journey as Byron and I delve into the nuances of "fear in and of itself" – that primal response that can both protect and paralyze us. We'll then navigate the intricate landscape of "fear in family," examining how anxieties can ripple through generations and impact relationships. Finally, we'll confront the often-taboo topic of "fear of family," exploring the complex reasons why our closest kin can sometimes be a source of apprehension or distress.Byron's expertise will help us understand these different facets of fear, offering valuable insights into how they develop, how they manifest, and how we can begin to understand and navigate them in healthier ways. Whether you've grappled with specific anxieties, witnessed fear's impact on your family, or even experienced the challenging dynamic of fearing family relationships, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Grandpa Bill Asks:Think for a moment: What is one fear, big or small, that you've noticed playing out within your family, perhaps repeating across generations?

Freud believed we were often influenced by memories, traumas and instincts we had repressed, but they influenced our behaviors anyway. He got there by studying hypnosis, analyzing dreams and paying attention to those slips of the tongue that reveal what we try to keep hidden. "No mortal can keep a secret," Freud maintained. "If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips. Betrayal oozes out of him at every pore." Poetic language that. And the idea has weaved its way into our modern psyche. All of us have used that excuse along the way. "Man, I was completely unconscious. What was I thinking?!"The great Brazilian psychoanalyst, Norberto Keppe, has advanced Freud significantly with his concept of inconscientization. It's not that we're naturally full of hidden indecent desires and animal instincts. For Keppe, we banish from our consciousness what we don't want to admit. That means, we know what's going on, but we deny what we know. And that has serious consequences.The Perils of Living Unconsciously, today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head.Click here to listen to this episode.

This episode talks in detail about rape."I've actually been really scared to talk about these things," Paige told Renée as she started to tell her story and lose her breath. Paige had a relatively happy childhood and an appropriately "boy crazy" adolescence. Unfortunately, her first boyfriend was so abusive and controlling that, until recently, she kept the details of the five-year relationship buried far away from her consciousness. Now a happily married, 32 year-old mother of three, Paige finds herself suddenly overcome by the trauma - memories, feelings, all of it -- and she has come to the show hoping Renée can help her stabilize. Her story is intense and it was hard for her to tell it, but her bravery is stunning. Renée helps Paige understand her intense symptoms and new triggers, and by the end Paige not only has her breath back, but she also has hope and a plan.Support the show

For those of you who are skeptical about whether therapy is effective, I get it. Who's to know whether what goes on behind closed doors does any good? And isn't it in the interest of the therapist to excavate all sorts of problems to keep those checks coming? Therapists actually share those sorts of suspicions. We want to know about the truth and about motivation. In this episode I explore some of the reservations people have about therapy, and how we can actually work with those concerns for your benefit.

This week we have been exclusively watching 'Magic Mike', shaking a Magic 8-Ball and listening to '24k Magic' by Bruno Mars (which is just awful) in order to win the slightly nervous attention of Adam Ferrier, founder of Thinkerbell; the thinkers, tinkers and practitioners of ‘measured magic'.  A psychology brain sat on top of some sturdy strategy bones, Adam is a rare voice of reason in the largely barmy brand world – as well as being the chief sceptic when it comes to the industry obsession with ‘the customer'. He's also the author of more superb books, including ‘The Advertising effect: How to Change Behaviour' and supplements all this talk-talking with some serious walk-walking through his work that brings marketing science and creative thinking together.  In this episode Adam shares his expertise on brands who forget how to be brands, why every business problem is a behaviour change problem and the forgotten benefits of simply fitting in.

Working with Parents in Therapy: A Mentalization-Based Approach, by Norka Malberg, Elliot Jurist, Jordan Bate, and Mark Dangerfield (American Psychological Association, 2023) presents parenthood as a developmental process that can be supported by a mentalization-based model of intervention. The authors first provide an overview of mentalization (i.e., making sense of the mental lives of ourselves and others) and its related concepts, as well as guidance on assessment, formulation, treatment, and supervision from a mentalization framework. They then review challenges and opportunities for parents across development, with rich case examples and vignettes for each developmental phase.  Dr. Jurist, who has doctorates in both philosophy and clinical psychology, brings a philosophical lens to our discussion of this book. We talk about mentalization and its development, as well as its role in culture, psychological health, and parenting. About the Guest: Elliot Jurist, Ph.D., Ph.D. is Professor of Psychology and Philosophy at the Graduate Center and The City College of New York, CUNY. From 2004-2013, he served as the Director of the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program at CUNY. From 2008-2018, he was the Editor of Psychoanalytic Psychology, the journal of Division 39 of the APA. He is also the editor of a book series, Psychoanalysis and Psychological Science, from Guilford Publications, and author of a book in the series, Minding Emotions: Cultivating Mentalization in Psychotherapy, from the same publisher (the book has been translated into Italian, Chinese and Spanish, and was named best theoretical book in 2019 by the American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis). He is the author of Beyond Hegel and Nietzsche: Philosophy, Culture and Agency (MIT Press, 2000) and co-author with Peter Fonagy, George Gergely, and Mary Target of Affect Regulation, Mentalization and the Development of the Self (Other Press, 2002), the latter of which has been translated into five languages and won two book prizes. He is also the co-editor of Mind to Mind: Infant Research, Neuroscience, and Psychoanalysis (Other Press, 2008). His research interests concern mentalization and the role of emotions and emotion regulation in psychotherapy. In 2014, he received the Scholarship Award from Division 39 of the APA, and in 2024, he was given the Leadership award from the same organization. He also writes a Substack newsletter Mental(izing) Health, in which he elaborates on the relevance of mentalization in art, government, culture, philosophy, and other wide-ranging topics, as well as in the mental health world. He is currently writing a book titled When Therapy Met Memoir, which is about references to therapy in contemporary memoirs. Along with his wife and two children, he lives with two ancient, insubordinate dachshunds, one of whom smiles.

As a society, we are finally at a place where we recognize that mental health is equally as important as physical health. And thankfully, we have folks out there that are able to help us. Today we speak with Allison Scarinzi who is the owner of Lotus Psychotherapy and The Refuge; along with Chelsea Tarleton and Michelle Case. We take a dive into the stigmas surrounding mental health, the various treatments available, and some of the signs that a friend or loved one may be struggling.

Lotus Psychotherapy and The Refuge have a team of people to address virtually all aspects of mental health and to help you deal with it. We all suffer to some degree and it is foolish to ignore it. When your tooth hurts you go to the dentist because you know it now going to get better on its own. Same for that rattle in your car. Curious? Have a listen!
