In today's episode, Trisha and I answer a listener's question about anxiety, overthinking and the need to control. The question comes from a listener who asks: "Has Trisha any tips for dealing with overthinking due to anxiety and wanting things to go a certain way? Why do we feel that need when all we can control is ourselves?" It's a great question and one I think many women will relate to. If you find yourself worrying about the future, replaying conversations, trying to make things go a certain way or feeling uncomfortable when things are out of your control, this episode is for you.

Want to work with Muscle Intelligence?  Apply Now Most men try to out-discipline their emotions and wonder why they still snap, freeze, or stew at the worst possible moment. Donald Robertson, the cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist who wrote the book on thinking like a Roman emperor, has spent three decades proving there's a better operating system. Drawing on the same Stoic playbook that ran an empire, he and Ben discuss why composure isn't suppression, why the calmest man in the room is almost never the one trying hardest to stay calm, and where the real leverage hides inside every reaction you have. The edge, it turns out, lives in a gap most people never notice… the split second between what happens to you and what you make it mean. Robertson breaks down the two-phase machinery behind anger and anxiety, the reason your meditation practice keeps failing you the moment you actually need it, and the counterintuitive move Marcus Aurelius used to command loyalty when his own generals turned against him. If you've built the career, the body, and the bank account and still get hijacked by your own nervous system, this is the conversation that explains why — and what the most self-possessed men in history did about it. 5 Key Takeaways Why every emotion arrives in two phases and why elite composure is decided entirely in the second one The reason willpower backfires, and what Stoics trained instead Why your meditation and journaling don't transfer to high-pressure moments (and the fix) The leadership move that made Marcus Aurelius untouchable even during a civil war How to model real composure for your kids without pretending to be perfect Chapters 0:00 Meeting Donald Robertson 4:30 From Therapy to Stoicism 7:47 Virtue As the Only True Good 10:14 Why Success Can Feel Empty 14:25 Why Meditation Leaves You Exposed 16:00 The Pause Before You React 22:21 Why Only Three Stoics Survived 27:16 Marcus Aurelius: Power and War 38:08 How an Emperor Truly Led 45:44 Stoicism in the Therapy Room 50:49 Is Anything Really "Bad"? 55:13 The Socratic Test of Success 1:00:41 A Lightning Tour of Philosophy 1:09:42 Modeling Wisdom for Your Kids 1:16:00 The Two Phases of Emotion 1:21:50 Why Studying Stoicism from Soundbites Fail You 1:29:01 Where to Find Donald Connect with Donald Substack – https://donaldrobertson.substack.com Website – https://donaldrobertson.name

 A thousand people called 911 because they believed Jesse Ridgway was in danger. He'd staged family violence on YouTube for four years. When the truth came out, he said he "never lied." He didn't apologize to a single caller. He felt nothing but satisfaction that his show was working.That was a decade ago. The pattern has only escalated. A creator platform called StoryFire that burned through a million users before being sold as an NFT. His wife went through a medical procedure she described as the worst experience of her life — within 48 hours Jesse was on national television. She was home recovering. He was on his fourth camera in five days. A pregnancy announcement that may or may not be real. Each stunt darker than the last. Each one requiring a bigger audience reaction to produce the same result.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott has spent more than thirty years in forensic mental health and clinical practice. She examines the behavioral pattern across twenty years of documented evidence and identifies what's actually operating underneath Jesse Ridgway's public persona. The escalation pattern mirrors what researchers have documented in narcissism and social media addiction — the dopamine feedback loop that functions on the same neural pathways as substance dependence. Same tolerance curve. Same withdrawal symptoms. Same inability to stop even when the behavior is causing measurable harm.Scott addresses whether the money or the attention is the primary driver — and whether they've become indistinguishable at this point. Whether anyone in Jesse's private life can compete with the validation four million subscribers provide. What the role of TMZ and news outlets is in feeding the cycle by treating staged events as legitimate news. And the question at the center of twenty years of evidence: is this a person who chooses to manipulate, or is this a compulsion that two decades of reinforcement have locked into a structure that can't be turned off?If the formula became the person — can the person ever come back?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

379 – Accountability and Responsibility in AI Counselling Practice

Ethical AI Practice for Counsellors and Psychotherapists in the UK - Recognising Poor Supervision in Counselling Training In Episode 379 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', they explore professional accountability and responsibility in AI in counselling practice - including who holds responsibility if something goes wrong. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ken Kelly about his new book, Ethical AI Practice for Counsellors and Psychotherapists in the UK, and the growing role of AI in counselling and psychotherapy. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss recognising poor supervision in counselling training - including red flags to look out for and what good supervision should provide. Accountability and Responsibility in AI Counselling Practice [starts at 03:10 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore accountability and responsibility in AI counselling practice, examining the ethical and legal responsibilities counsellors hold when using AI tools in their work. Key points discussed include: The responsibility for clinical decisions always remains with the practitioner, even when using AI-supported tools. Counsellors need to critically evaluate any digital tools they use, including understanding how client data is stored, protected, and accessed. It's important to consider what happens if a tool provider closes down or experiences a data breach. Practitioners should check whether their insurance covers the use of AI-supported systems in clinical work. Ethical decision-making includes documenting why a tool was accepted, rejected, or adopted with conditions. Using anonymised or non-identifiable client information can add an extra layer of protection when working digitally. Ethical AI Practice for Counsellors and Psychotherapists in the UK [starts at 26:58 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ken Kelly about his new book, Ethical AI Practice, exploring the ethical use of AI in counselling and psychotherapy. Key points from this conversation include: Ken describes the moment he realised AI would significantly impact every profession, including counselling and psychotherapy. The book was written to help practitioners navigate AI ethically while formal guidance from professional bodies continues to develop. The AI Expert Reference Group brings together representatives from counselling organisations, training providers, and ethical bodies to discuss developments in AI. The book focuses on applying existing counselling skills and ethical thinking to AI rather than teaching technical knowledge. AI is already appearing in counselling practice through tools, apps, and client use - often without practitioners realising it. Companion resources include ethical evaluation tools, AI policy templates, therapeutic contract examples, and downloadable workbooks. Recognising Poor Supervision in Counselling Training [starts at 01:07:52 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss how counselling students can recognise poor supervision and what healthy supervision should look like. Key points include: Students are paying for a professional service and should expect clear contracting, appropriate support, and professional boundaries. A good supervisor should understand the needs of counselling students and ideally have experience supervising trainees. Supervision should feel supportive and safe while still offering appropriate challenge and professional development. Supervisors should understand the modality and context in which the student is working, including online or telephone practice where relevant. Warning signs may include feeling unable to bring mistakes into supervision, blurred boundaries, or supervision sessions that lack depth and challenge. Good supervision helps students grow in confidence, reflect critically on their practice, and develop professionally in service of their clients.

On a livestream, Jesse Ridgway said, “I'm glad my dad didn't terminate me, but I'm normal.” That sentence — delivered in the middle of a firestorm about his unborn child — tells a psychotherapist something very specific. Jesse Ridgway has staged events for attention his entire career. Four years of fake family violence. A platform that burned through a million users. And now a pregnancy announcement that may or may not be real, from a man whose record is built entirely on making people believe things that didn't happen.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down what she hears in that quote, what the clinical escalation pattern looks like across Ridgway's career, and what a framework called Munchausen by Internet reveals about someone who fabricates crises online to harvest sympathy and attention.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with another special episode recorded LIVE from the Heal Squad Day of Reset, and today we're sharing one of the most powerful conversations of the entire event: our Mind-Body Reset Panel. Maria brought together three of her favorite healers and trusted Heal Squad experts to explore what healing really means—and what we can do right now to help reset an overwhelmed nervous system. Psychotherapist and trauma expert Tammy Valicenti explains why healing starts by understanding the stories, patterns, and protective behaviors driving our stress and anxiety. Holistic health practitioner and Regenerative Pathway Therapy creator Gabby Piccirilli shares simple techniques to help regulate the nervous system in real time and reconnect with the body's natural healing abilities. And traditional Chinese medicine physician Anthony DiSalvo reveals the acupressure practices he uses to help people manage anxiety, tension, pain, and overwhelm.Together, they explore how to recognize when you're stuck in survival mode, why your symptoms may be trying to tell you something, and the small daily practices that can help you feel calmer, safer, and more connected to your body.The best part? Many of these tools are simple, free, and available to you anytime you need them.We hope you enjoy this special LIVE conversation from the Heal Squad Day of Reset! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your nervous system may be running the show more than you realize. Anxiety, brain fog, jaw clenching, digestive issues, fatigue, and feeling constantly overwhelmed aren't random,...they can all be signs that your body is stuck in survival mode. Healing starts with awareness, not perfection. Whether it's recognizing the thoughts driving your stress, understanding the emotions stored in your body, or learning to listen to your symptoms differently, every healer on this panel agreed that lasting healing begins by paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you. The most powerful healing tools are often the simplest. From EMDR and nervous system regulation techniques to acupressure points and breathwork, this conversation proves that helping your body feel safe doesn't always require expensive treatments—sometimes small daily practices can create the biggest shifts.

“Breaking the Boy Code” is Dr Katie Hurley's latest book, following the success of the award-winning “No More Mean Girls”. In this episode, Katie discusses how boys are socialized into a narrow description of manhood that is detrimental to their well-being. While that issue is not new – the “man-o-sphere” has created a world of social influencers who insidiously influence our young sons pushing them down a funnel of increasingly more severe beliefs about what it is to be a man including wealth, physique, dehumanizing women for sex / ra*pe.

Thorburn - Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist. Show Summary Today’s show discusses Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), developed by Albert Ellis, which teaches that emotional suffering is often intensified not only by difficult events themselves but by the beliefs and interpretations we attach to those events. REBT helps lessen emotional pain by identifying irrational thoughts, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and replacing them with more realistic and flexible ways of thinking. Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis Biography Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. New York City has been her home base for the past two decades. She is a licensed psychologist (Australia), licensed mental health counselor (New York), presenter, writer and adjunct professor at Columbia University in New York City where she teaches Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Comparative Psychotherapies. For years she worked with her husband, the brilliant and renowned pioneer of modern cognitive therapies: Dr Albert Ellis, giving public presentations and professional trainings in his approach of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), as well as collaborating with him on writing and research projects until his death in 2007. Before his passing he stated and wrote that he entrusted her to continue his work. She is recognized as a world-renowned expert on REBT, and regularly presents, throughout the USA and in countries around the world, to students, academics, practitioners in the helping professions, and to members of the general public. She wrote the second edition of the book Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (published 2019) that she co-wrote with her husband in its first edition. She is also featured in a DVD produced by the American Psychological Association (APA) demonstrating and discussing the REBT approach. She has written chapters for various text books, articles, and has reviewed publications for APA’s PsycCritiques Journal. In 2014 she was named “Legend in Counseling” at the American Counseling Association annual conference, and has received various other awards and acknowledgments for her work. She recently was nominated by former American Psychological Association President, Dr Frank Farley, and renowned psychologist and author, Dr Stanley Krippner, to receive the American Psychological Association's International Division's "Global Citizen Award". She joyfully and passionately continues her mission of informing as many people as possible - through her presentations, teaching, writing, and the ways she strives to ‘walk her talk’ - that each one of us has the power to create our emotional destinies despite and including challenging circumstances, and through teaching the ‘how-to’s’ of doing so!

The prosecution called Mackenzie Shirilla cold and calculated. A judge called her "hell on wheels." The public split into two camps after Netflix's The Crash — she's a monster or she's innocent. But a psychotherapist who has spent three decades inside the minds of people who harm others sees a clinical picture that's messier than either side wants it to be.Shavaun Scott is a licensed psychotherapist, author of The Minds of Mass Killers, and has worked in domestic violence shelters, forensic settings, and crisis teams. She examines what's operating underneath Mackenzie Shirilla's personality — the narcissism that presents as confidence but clinically almost never is, the self-obsession that masks profound fragility, and the fundamental question the trial never addressed: whether a seventeen-year-old's volatile behavior represents a fixed personality disorder or an adolescent brain that hasn't finished developing. The texts were ugly. The threats were real. But what they reveal about Mackenzie's inner world clinically is very different from what the prosecution used them to establish at trial.Scott's analysis sits alongside a post-conviction strategic breakdown that raises equally uncomfortable questions. Shirilla agreed to appear in the Netflix documentary from prison. She was soft-spoken and remorseful on camera. Within days, a fellow inmate described a completely different person behind bars. The internet turned on her harder than before. Her pre-crash social media is still circulating — screenshots used to define who she is. The families are more vocal than ever. Dominic's sister has a podcast. The parents appeared in the documentary.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta advises clients on post-conviction strategy. He examines every decision Mackenzie has made since the verdict — the documentary, the public persona, the persistent "I don't remember" — and asks whether any of it helps at a parole hearing or whether she's actively burying herself deeper. Her appeals are exhausted. Her first parole date isn't until 2037. The question isn't whether she's guilty anymore. It's whether she understands what she needs to do next — and whether anyone around her is giving her that guidance.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Crash: Why a Psychotherapist Thinks the Mackenzie Shirilla Trial Asked the Wrong Question

Was it murder? That's the question the trial asked. A judge said yes. Netflix's The Crash put the evidence on screen and the public argued about the answer. But psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, who has spent thirty years studying violence and treating people on both sides of it, says the trial was asking the wrong question — and the answer to the right one is something far more complicated and far more tragic than either side is prepared to accept.Shirilla was seventeen when the crash in Strongsville, Ohio killed Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan. She was convicted of four counts of murder. She says she has no memory. A neurologist found evidence consistent with a medical episode. The families believe she's a monster. And the personality profile the prosecution built — the narcissism, the threats, the volatility — reads very differently to a clinician than it does to a courtroom.Shavaun Scott, licensed psychotherapist and author of The Minds of Mass Killers, delivers a three-part psychological examination covering every dimension of this case. Her personality — why the traits that convicted her may actually signal something the system can't recognize. The relationship — why it was more mutual and more dangerous than the one-sided version the prosecution presented. And the aftermath — whether trauma-induced amnesia is clinically real, what grief does to the families' certainty, and a possibility that nobody in the courtroom was equipped to consider.Two young men are gone. A young woman is in prison. Everyone picked a side. This conversation asks whether either side was looking at the right evidence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In today's episode, Trisha and I answer a listener's question about food, weight loss and the fear of slipping back into diet culture. The question comes from a listener who wants to get fit and strong and improve her health, but also feels confused about how weight loss actually works without calorie counting, restriction and obsessing over food again. We talk about overeating, fat storage, portion sizes, hunger, body trust and the fear many women have of “getting it wrong” when they stop dieting. We also explore the difference between healthy structure and diet culture, why so many women feel stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle, and how to approach weight loss in a slower, calmer and more sustainable way without becoming consumed by food. As always, Trisha McHale brings her grounded psychotherapist perspective — helping unpack what's happening beneath these patterns and why rebuilding trust, consistency and self-awareness matters so much.

Senator John Cornyn is fighting to fend off a Trump-endorsed challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as both candidates argue they are best positioned to keep the seat in Republican hands ahead of November. With several recent GOP incumbents losing primaries across the country, the outcome could signal how much sway the President still holds within the party heading into the midterms. University of Texas Professor and FOX News Decision Desk member Daron Shaw joins the Rundown to break down the political stakes in Texas, and what the race could mean for Republicans nationwide.

May is mental health awareness month, so we're rounding up some of the most game-changing advice and insights we've heard on the podcast about managing anxiety and improving your emotional wellbeing, from three leading experts. We cover the root cause of anxiety and the beliefs that fuel it, managing our distress with the “anxiety hierarchy”, and the ways trauma is stored in the body — along with how to move it.  These perspective-changing concepts have really helped me better understand my mind and improve my mindset. Tune in to hear advice from: Clinical Psychologist Sunniva Itland, founder of one of Norway's largest private psychology clinics and co-founder of metacognitivetherapy.com: On the root of our anxiety, and the transformative anti-therapy therapy that's changing lives. Dr. Lauren Cook, therapist, consultant, speaker, author and founder of Heartship Psychological Services:  On the framework that helps you measure your level of anxiety when faced with challenges, so you can live your life without letting anxiety, avoidance, and control stay in the driver's seat. Trauma Therapist Simone Saunders, somatic psychotherapist and founder of The Cognitive Corner: On signs that you're chronically dysregulated, nervous system regulation tools that help or hinder, and how trauma manifests physically.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott brings her clinical expertise to an examination of the alleged behavioral patterns prosecutors have described in the case against David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd. Charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and mutilation of human remains, Burke has pleaded not guilty. His attorneys maintain he is innocent.Prosecutors allege contact with Celeste Rivas Hernandez began when she was eleven and became sexual when she was thirteen. They allege Burke paid a thousand dollars to maintain contact after law enforcement intervened, that he allegedly killed her when she threatened to expose the relationship, and that he subsequently ordered tools and materials under a fake identity — with forensic evidence reportedly tying those items to injuries on her remains. Throughout, prosecutors allege he maintained his public career and reportedly deceived those around him about what had occurred.Scott examines the psychological dimensions of the alleged behavior — what sustained contact with a child from age eleven allegedly reveals about intent versus opportunity, how the alleged escalation after law enforcement contact fits established behavioral models, and what the reported ability to allegedly move between extreme violence and public performance suggests about compartmentalization and psychopathology.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott brings her expertise in mass killer psychology to a forensic analysis of newly published evidence in the Bryan Kohberger case. Three letters written from the Latah County Jail in October 2023 — never before made public — reveal a psychological profile that raises profound questions about detachment, narcissism, and the complete absence of empathy.Kohberger's writings contain no reference to his four victims — Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, or Ethan Chapin. No acknowledgment of the charges. No fear. His letter to his dog claims telepathic communication. His letter to his sister reads like a detached academic exercise. His family letter references "triumphantly ascending" and contains the phrase "A four" — while charged with four counts of first-degree murder.Scott analyzes these letters alongside the FBI's interview with Kohberger's mother the night of his arrest, inmate observations of severe obsessive-compulsive behavior, and the emotional void of his guilty plea. The result is a clinical portrait of a man who may not experience reality the way the rest of us understand it — and what that means for the families who will never receive the answers they deserve.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott provides clinical analysis of the bystander and enabler psychology at work in the case surrounding David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, and the death of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and mutilation charges. He has pleaded not guilty.Prosecutors convened three separate grand juries in this case, hearing testimony from friends, business associates, and family members. Burke's manager was reportedly overheard indicating that contacting law enforcement was not his responsibility. Friends reportedly accepted that a fourteen-year-old girl with braces was a nineteen-year-old college student. Burke's family members were all subpoenaed, with court records indicating his mother reportedly managed business finances. An online community allegedly had the victim's name surface in connection with her disappearance — with no reported action taken.Scott analyzes the clinical frameworks that explain how professional loyalty, financial entanglement, social conformity, and diffusion of responsibility in digital spaces may allow alleged predatory behavior to continue undetected or unaddressed — and what the breadth of grand jury testimony reveals about the reported proximity of multiple individuals to the alleged conduct.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott provides clinical analysis of two of the most psychologically significant cases in true crime — the Bryan Kohberger Idaho murders and the prosecution of David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, for the alleged murder of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.In the Kohberger segment, Scott analyzes three never-before-published letters written from the Latah County Jail — to his dog, his sister, and his family — which contain no reference to his four victims, no acknowledgment of the charges, and language detached from any recognizable reality. She examines these alongside the FBI's interview with his mother, inmate-reported obsessive behaviors, and the psychological dimensions of his emotionless guilty plea to four consecutive life terms.In the D4vd segment, Scott examines both the alleged psychology of the accused — from the reported years-long pattern of alleged contact with a minor to the alleged post-mortem conduct prosecutors describe — and the bystander dynamics that prosecutors allege allowed a fourteen-year-old to be allegedly hidden among adults who reportedly never questioned the cover story. Three grand juries heard testimony from friends, managers, and family. Scott applies clinical frameworks to explain how alleged predatory behavior may reportedly persist when professional loyalty, financial entanglement, and social conformity converge.Burke has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She was adopted and never felt wanted. Assaulted at sixteen. Attempted to take her own life before she was out of her teens. And then a man named Rex Heuermann showed up and said move in, I'll handle everything. For a woman who had never once felt safe in her own skin, that offer wasn't romance — it was survival. And it sealed her fate for the next three decades. The Peacock documentary on Rex Heuermann gave us something the courtroom never would have — a raw, unfiltered look at the woman standing behind the Gilgo Beach Killer. Asa Ellerup didn't just live with a serial killer. She built her entire identity around him. The family therapist said it plainly: as long as Rex told Asa he was innocent, there was no reaching her. His words overwrote reality itself. So what happens when reality finally breaks through? What happens when the man who was your entire foundation looks you in the eye and says he killed eight women — some of them in your home? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott breaks down every layer of Asa Ellerup's psychology in this conversation. We get into the trauma history that made her vulnerable, the specific mechanisms Rex used to maintain control without her ever recognizing it, and the question the therapist raised that haunts this entire case — whether Asa will ever truly let Rex go, even now that she knows exactly what he is. This is one of the most psychologically complex figures in modern true crime. Shavaun doesn't flinch from any of it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
