Psychedelics are having a moment in mental health care. Research is showing promising results for conditions including depression, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. But how much do we actually know — and how much is hype? ADAA member expert and licensed psychologist Jonathan Schettino, PhD, explains how psychedelics went from being viewed primarily as illegal drugs to becoming the subject of serious clinical research. He breaks down what happens during psychedelic-assisted therapy, why standardized dosing matters, and why treatment involves much more than simply taking a psychedelic and “tripping.” Listeners will learn: how researchers control psychedelic doses in clinical trials why psychedelics aren't yet FDA-approved treatments whether psychotherapy makes psychedelic treatment more effective The research is promising, but the science isn't settled. This conversation explains what we know, what we don't know, and why the next few years could be critical for understanding the future of psychedelic-assisted mental health treatment. Listen now!

A hospital admission. A seizure. A certain time of year. Sometimes your body can react to medical trauma long after the moment itself has passed. But when does that become PTSD, and what does that look like when the trauma is tied to your child's medical care?In today's episode, Amanda Griffith-Atkins joins us to break down the difference between PTSD, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and other trauma responses, plus why things like hypervigilance, avoidance, feeling trapped, and physical reactions to reminders can show up so strongly for medical parents.We also dig into what makes trauma especially complicated when you have to keep returning to the hospital or facing new medical crises, how treatment options like EMDR and medication can help, and why you don't need an official PTSD diagnosis for your trauma to deserve attention.And a big thanks to our sponsor for this episode, themakers of the incredible documentary, The Zebra & The Bear!Links:Watch The Zebra & The BearListen to Ep 185: Medical Parent Trauma.Fill out our contact form to join upcoming discussion groups!Join The Rare Life newsletter and never miss an update!Follow Amanda on Instagram @amanda.griffith.atkins!Follow us on Instagram @the_rare_life!Donate to the podcast or Contact me about sponsoring an episode.Amanda's Episodes:81: Health Anxiety85: Should A Child's Disability be Part of Their Parents' Identity? 99: Family Planning108: Holidays + Disability109: Isolating During Holidays 110: Inpatient During Holidays130: Fearful of Childloss 131: Chronic Stress + Our Bodies 132: When Self-Care Gives Us the Swears135: Ways Career + Family Roles Can Be Affected by Disability 142: What If My Disabled Child Outlives Me?147: Sex + Disability Parenting 153: Hurtful Things Loved Ones Say and Do156: Should I Get Divorced?159: Mental-Load Sharing with Your Partner171: Financial Strain 182: Hobbies 189: Grief in Disability Parenting 203: Strengthening Marriage 222: Intellectual Disabilities

Ryder Lee joins Ryan to discuss the use of Setting aside genuine schizophrenic and people who LARP as science-fiction characters, there is a very real phenomena of others hearing voices in their heads from external mechanisms. From David Berkowitz to Aaron Alexis, voices instructing violence or harassment have been well-documented. Aaron's 2013 breakdown, and his writing of "ELF" on a weapon, corresponds with the announcement that Germany has advertising technology that can insert voices into your head via vibrations on a train. Before this, A&E was beaming advertisement into pedestrians passing a billboard in Manhattan. In an older TED talk, Woody Norris explains how he sells this technology to the US Military which has a long history of producing soldiers who hallucinate more than what would be common with PTSD. Some hallucinate ghosts. On the other side of a battlefield, soldiers hear religious propaganda. There's at least one documented case of this at Guantánamo Bay, where an inmate heard religious teachings in his head. But the scope of this technology goes far beyond sound. It could be used to plant ideas in the subconscious like the movie Inception, or place ads in dreams. What was the Woodpecker signal? What happened at the US Embassy in Moscow, and Cuba? On the commercial level, and without headphones, technology exists to put your music directly into your head so no one else can hear. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Charlene Quint survived 21 years of an abusive and toxic marriage. Today she is a family law attorney and the author of the award-winning book, Overcoming the Narcissist, Sociopath, Psychopath, and Other Domestic Abusers: The Comprehensive Handbook to Recognize, Remove and Recover From Abuse. Charlene shares critical advice about the healing process that comes in the wake of escaping an abusive situation. 100 percent of women in abusive relationships, she says, suffer from PTSD, and the healing cannot begin until they are in a safe place and free from the abuse. Importantly, women must address the lies that they have been taught to believe and replace those lies with truth. Charlene also shares how God helped her find peace, wholeness, and restoration after leaving her abusive marriage, and how others can do the same! TAKEAWAYS Abusers will take the time to get to know you so they can hook you emotionally Choose someone who will be a strong, equal partner in life - do not marry a “project” or a “charity case” Think of yourself as a queen who deserves to have a king to rule alongside her - an equal Healing starts when you leave the abuse behind

Tonight, U.S. Army veteran Michael Matthews shares a story of service, survival, isolation & the connection that helped change the direction of his life. Michael served three deployments to the Middle East. During a mission in Mosul, Iraq, he was severely injured in an attack. He awoke two weeks later in a hospital in Germany with a broken jaw, severe burns & injuries that required months of physical therapy. He also returned home with a traumatic brain injury & PTSD. As Michael withdrew from others, a chance encounter with a fellow veteran led him to a Wounded Warrior Project event. That first step helped him rediscover the camaraderie he had been missing. Today, Michael shares his story and mentors other wounded warriors so they understand they are not alone. As Suicide Prevention Awareness Month comes to a close, we'll discuss what it will take to end veteran suicide and what each of us can do to support veterans throughout the year.

What if there's more to psychedelics than the experience itself? What if they can offer a different lens on consciousness, healing, mental health, and the way we understand ourselves?In this thought-provoking episode #108 of the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, we go Beyond the Taboo with bestselling author, speaker, and psychedelic education advocate Matt Zemon for an honest conversation about what psychedelics can and cannot teach us about the mind, healing, spirituality, and ourselves.Matt Zemon is a scholar-practitioner, author, and educator working at the intersection of psychedelics, mental health, spirituality, and modern consciousness research. He holds a Doctor of Ministry from Pacific School of Religion and an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King's College London.As Executive Director of the Council on Spiritual Practices and the author of six books on psychedelics, religion, and healing, Matt brings together scientific research, ancient wisdom, and lived experience. His work focuses on helping people approach profound spiritual and psychedelic experiences with intention, appropriate risk reduction, and meaningful integration emphasizing that the goal is not simply a peak experience, but how those insights translate into everyday life.In this episode, we explore:✅ How Matt's first psilocybin experience helped him reconnect with his late mother and examine beliefs around safety, love and mortality✅ The emerging research around psychedelics and mental health conditions including PTSD, depression, anxiety and substance-use challenges✅ What psychedelic integration can look like through therapy, coaching, breathwork, meditation, yoga, nutrition, sleep and behavioural change✅ The concept of “big T” trauma versus the everyday experiences, losses, relationships and attachments that can also shape us✅ How psychedelic experiences can challenge our relationship with control, vulnerability, self-love and self-awareness✅ Matt's perspective on reclaiming personal agency and making informed choicesNOTE: This episode #108 is being re-released as part of the Best of Self-Care Goddess Podcasts, a collection of some of the most insightful and impactful conversations from the podcast archive.

Captain Dan Moran: Still in the Fight — Courage, Recovery, Service & New Hope for VeteransThis week on the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie Luttrell welcome retired U.S. Marine Corps Captain Dan Moran — a combat-wounded Marine whose life reflects courage, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to continue serving others.During his second deployment to Ramadi, Iraq, Dan's platoon was hit in a devastating enemy ambush. He suffered third-degree burns over roughly 50 percent of his body, a T-8 vertebra compression fracture, herniated discs, a traumatic brain injury, and an inhalation injury.His recovery required approximately 30 surgeries and more than two-and-a-half years of treatment at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. The lasting effects of his injuries even changed the way he must manage temperature and sun exposure in everyday life.But Dan refused to allow his injuries to define what came next.After receiving a specially adapted home from supporters, Dan made a promise: he would repay the investment others had made in him through the way he lived his life and the impact he would have on others.He has spent the years since doing exactly that.Dan founded Moran Enterprises, Inc., became deeply involved in organizations serving wounded warriors and military families, and served with groups including Hope For The Warriors and Helping A Hero. He was also appointed to the Texas Veterans Commission, where he ultimately served as vice chairman before completing nine years of service.For Dan, leaving the Marine Corps never meant leaving the mission.This conversation also explores the invisible injuries many veterans continue to battle, including PTSD, traumatic brain injury, depression, anxiety, and the lasting effects of combat trauma.One emerging area of interest is ibogaine-assisted treatment. Early research involving Special Operations veterans with traumatic brain injury has shown encouraging improvements in PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, disability, and cognitive functioning. While ibogaine remains investigational and requires careful medical screening and supervision, its potential has created new hope for veterans who have struggled to find relief through conventional treatments.Dan's story is ultimately about much more than survival.It is about finding purpose after trauma, choosing service over bitterness, and continuing to fight for others long after leaving the battlefield.A Purple Heart recipient and decorated Marine officer, Dan continues to serve through business, veteran advocacy, public service, and leadership.His mission today is different — but the commitment is the same.He is still in the fight. In This Episode: The ambush in Ramadi that changed Dan's life Surviving catastrophic burns, spinal injuries, and TBI Enduring 30 surgeries and years of rehabilitation Finding purpose after medical retirement Giving back to wounded warriors and military families Serving on the Texas Veterans Commission PTSD, TBI, and the invisible wounds of war The emerging promise of ibogaine-assisted treatment Why service remains central to Dan's life Support Dan:-  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-p-moran-48909122Support TNQ  - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13  -  https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquitSponsors:  - Navyfederal.org     - truenutrition.com/NEVERQUIT - davidprotein.com/TNQ- mengotomars.com [Team Never Quit]- Dripdrop.com/TNQ- vinted.com/TNQ- quo.com/TNQ  - bubsnaturals.com [Promo code TNQ]  - mizzenandmain.com   [Promo code: TNQ20]   - masterclass.com/TNQ  - ShopMando.com [Promo code: TNQ]  - Tractorsupply.com/hometownheroes  - meetfabric.com/TNQ  - Prizepicks (PROMO CODE: TNQ)   - armslist.com/TNQ   -  PXGapparel.com/TNQ  - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ   - shipsticks.com/TNQ   - stopboxusa.com {TNQ}   - Tonal.com [TNQ]  - greenlight.com/TNQ  - drinkAG1.com/TNQ  - Hims.com/TNQ

What do you do when the road to parenthood spans a decade filled with grief, medical battles, and devastating loss? In today's deeply moving episode, we sit down with Lianne Totty, who endured a 10-year battle with Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and infertility before entering motherhood through the most harrowing circumstances imaginable. Lianne gave birth to her first baby at just 27 weeks, spending six grueling months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) before having to say the hardest goodbye a parent can ever face. Yet, her journey did not end in silence. Lianne went on to deliver a second micro-preemie at 25 weeks—a miracle baby who fought through the NICU and is thriving today. In our conversation, Lianne opens up with unfiltered honesty about the emotional toll of feeling like your body has betrayed you, the raw guilt of feeling "punished," navigating birth trauma and PTSD, and how her struggle to explain infant loss to a young child inspired her children's book, Baby Went to Heaven. Whether you are currently in the trenches of infertility, walking through the shadows of grief, or supporting someone who is, this episode is a testament to the unyielding strength of a mother's heart and the truth that hope can outlive despair. In this episode, we explore: Battling PCOS and navigating 10 years of infertility and medical intervention. The reality of micro-preemies: Delivering at 27 and 25 weeks. The emotional, mental, and physical weight of extended NICU stays. Coping with infant loss and confronting the toxic lie: "Did my body fail me?" Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) stemming from high-trauma births and medical environments. How Lianne answered her goddaughter's hardest question and wrote Baby Went to Heaven to guide grieving families. Finding renewal, joy, and resilience on the other side of an agonizing journey.

What if the answers you've been searching for… you already know?What if your intuition has been talking to you all along—and you've simply learned not to hear it?Medical intuitive Julie Ryan joins Dr. Tara Perry for a fascinating conversation about intuition, healing, and what may be possible when we start listening.KEY TAKEAWAYS05:10 Julie raises her vibrational level to the frequency of spirit and watches a hologram of the body in her mind's eye — like an X-ray — to identify what needs healing. 10:15 Nobody ever heals anybody else. Healers facilitate the process, but the body always heals itself. 13:03 If you receive information that feels negative or abusive during spiritual practice, that's your brain — not spirit. Spirit is pure love. 15:59 Energetic healing happens instantly on the spiritual level, then integrates into the physical body — sometimes immediately, sometimes over days or weeks. 22:00 Everyone is already intuitive. Thinking of someone right before they call you? That's your intuition at work. 22:27 Julie's daily routine: legs-up-the-wall meditation, the rosary, and two minutes standing in the superwoman pose facing the sun. 26:43 We all come in with the same spiritual hardware. Children are naturally psychic until adults teach them not to trust it. 33:34 The faces people see during meditation are the multitudes of spirits that surround us always — ask them if they have a message. 40:43 The biggest way we get in our own way is using logic to override what spirit is already telling us. The antidote: ask "what if?" and take one step. 38:00 University research now shows that 90% of people at the end of life see and communicate with deceased loved ones and pets.

Shavkat shares his incredible journey from growing up in Uzbekistan to pursuing his education at Louisiana State University and eventually finding his way to Good Samaritan Hospital.His perspective on healthcare began to change dramatically while working on the COVID floor in 2020. During that experience, Dr. Ruziev realized that simply putting a “band-aid” on a problem wasn't enough — to truly help people, you have to address the root cause.That realization inspired him to take a different approach to healthcare and ultimately start his own wellness center, with a mission focused on helping people become healthier by addressing the underlying issues affecting their well-being.•⁠To learn more about Lancaster Wellness click here:⁠•SHOW SPONSORS:⁠Cleona Coffee Roasters.⁠ A small batch coffee roastery & coffee shop, veteran & first responder owned located inside 911 Rapid Response in Annville PA.⁠Angelo's Pizza. ⁠Enjoy mouthwatering Italian dinners.⁠Triggered 22. ⁠Support a local veteran and help spread awareness for PTSD & #22aday.⁠Hossler Engraving.⁠ Looking for unique handcrafted gifts for all occasions Zach has you covered.⁠Hains Auto Detailing. ⁠Have your car smiling from wheel to wheel.•Sip or Snack break?SIP: ⁠Garage Beer.⁠SNACK: ⁠Jurgy.⁠•OFFICIAL STUDIO SPONSOR: ⁠Colortech Creative Solutions ⁠takes your creative projects from visualization to realization.

What happens when a mental health professional who has spent decades helping others reaches a point where the tools she has always relied on are no longer enough?Missy spent 25 years working in mental health. At the height of her private practice, she was seeing roughly 60 clients a week while navigating her own depression, health challenges, and long-term use of antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications.Then, after years of caregiving and the loss of both parents, Missy reached what she describes as rock bottom.Her search for healing eventually led her to ayahuasca, where she began confronting complex PTSD, generational trauma, and grief. Later, she felt called to explore psilocybin, a path that brought her to Eleusinia.In this candid conversation, Missy shares how her psilocybin experiences differed from ayahuasca, how the experience of receiving care became an unexpectedly profound part of her journey, and what her background as a clinician allowed her to see when it comes to ethics, safety, and support in psychedelic spaces.She also shares how the experience helped reveal what had been missing from the book she was writing about her journey: what comes next.This is a deeply personal conversation about finding yourself again amidst caring for others, allowing yourself to be cared for, and finding the courage to begin a new chapter.

Rick Hoppe spent 33 years in Army infantry, counterintelligence, and the Defense Intelligence Agency — including a stint on General Petraeus's staff during the Iraq surge — before turning that same pattern-reading eye inward as a memoirist, novelist, and creator of the “Eight Stages” framework for how revolutions form. In this episode, Rick and Hugo talk prediction, PTSD, veteran suicide and the “tribe” theory behind it, and his rule for living: it's okay to die, it's not okay to lose.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sol-meets-heart--3691166/support.

Ken Howard, LCSW, CST, explores the psychology behind September 11 and its lasting aftermath—from absolutism and dehumanization to grief, survivor guilt, anniversary reactions, and resilience. Drawing on personal memories and his work with gay men, he considers how experiences of vulnerability and loss shape our sense of safety, while distinguishing trauma responses from PTSD.

Therapist Jeremy Levitt (MS, LMFT, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist, Functional Nutrition Therapist, Psychedelic Assisted Therapist, Natural Medicine Facilitator) joins us to unpack how legal, clinically-supervised psilocybin therapy is transforming recovery from betrayal trauma and compulsive sexual behavior — from the neuroscience behind it to remission rates for PTSD and addiction that are hard to ignore. It's not a magic pill, but it might be the most powerful tool you haven't considered yet. Tune in to find out why.Are you interested in having a psilocybin-supported healing intensive?

In this role, she works with policymakers, Special Operations families, and veteran-serving organizations on the mental health needs of children living in veteran caregiver homes, a population largely absent from current policy and program design. Her advocacy focuses on the intergenerational effects of combat injury, including how a veteran parent's symptoms shape a child's development, attachment, and role in the family. She is a member of the Hidden Helpers Coalition and delivered the keynote address at the 2025 Elizabeth Dole Foundation National Convening in Washington, D.C. Elizabeth previously built a career in finance and technology and earned her J.D. before becoming the full-time caregiver for her husband, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, and raising their three children in the home his service shaped. Links Mentioned in this Episode Elizabeth Dole Foundation WebsiteMCON Health SummitElizabeth on LinkedInPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's resource of the week is the PsychArmor course, Supporting Youth Who Support Veterans.

I state unequivocally at the outset that the paramount message of our conversation is that there is hope for veterans ensnared by addiction, PTSD, and the disorienting vicissitudes of transition. I, alongside Chef JB Brown, engage Daniel “Smoke,” a United States Marine, who recounts his trajectory from enlistment and frontline service to a decade-long struggle with substance abuse, incarceration, and profound moral injury. We examine the concrete pathway to rehabilitation that he embraced: solicitation of assistance, enrollment in Veterans Treatment Court, immersion in Camp Hope's therapeutic milieu, and the sustaining influence of peer accountability. I recount how sustained commitment to those resources enabled him to reclaim custody of his child, secure stable employment, and rebuild a life anchored in serviceable purpose. We emphasize that recovery is arduous yet attainable, and we exhort fellow veterans to request aid without shame. I close by affirming that strength and honor remain guiding tenets as one pursues reintegration and restoration.Takeaways:I describe my decade-long struggle with addiction, legal trouble, and shame before seeking help.I recount how a prayer and asking for help in jail began my path to recovery and change.We explain the role of Camp Hope and veteran treatment court in offering structured therapy and clear accountability.I emphasize peer-to-peer support and camaraderie as essential to maintain long-term recovery and regain purpose.I share that recovery required hard work, steady accountability, and years of consistent effort to rebuild trust.I tell how regaining custody of my daughter and finding stable work renewed my hope and responsibility.I offer a clear message: there is always hope, and asking for help can change your life.We discuss how military training and values like strength and honor can be repurposed to support recovery and resilience in civilian life.LinksCo-HostAaron Q.

Človek môže po nehode vyzerať navonok úplne v poriadku, no do auta už nedokáže sadnúť. Čo sa deje v hlave po traumatickom zážitku, kedy môže ísť o PTSD či panické ataky a kedy má poškodený nárok na finančné odškodnenie? Psychológ Martin Polák z VIRTUO a JUDr. Juraj Gajdoša advokát špecializujúci sa na odškodňovanie po dopravných nehodách hovoria o prípadoch, keď po nehode zostanú následky, ktoré na röntgene neuvidíte.

This meditation starts immediately with no introduction and is a powerful meditation for deep progressive relaxation. Therefore, please do not drive or do anything else but be in a safe place where you can sit or lie down, be undistracted, close your eyes and completely let go.  I recorded this podcast for my 97-year mother and I'm sharing it with you as well. It is very helpful to her for immediate relaxation, stress reduction and calming. She experiences better sleep, lower blood pressure, and other health effects that can flow from deep relaxation.  The effects have been immediate for her.These podcasts are meant to supplement your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. They are a compilation of what I have found to be the most helpful over the last 50 years on my path of awakening. I feel these podcasts are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last.  Though they, also, all stand on their own.  Since we are each a bit different, if anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. All my podcasts and website are here and free. Enjoy!Though I am a psychotherapist, and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy.  If psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.www.williamecooper.wordpress.com for more support.  You may, especially, enjoy the short contemplations and the resource page which gives you some supportive material.

In this episode, we explore one of the most haunting lines from Kurt Cobain's suicide note: “Why don't you just enjoy it?” and the devastating response: “I don't know.” We unpack why human beings struggle to feel joy through the lenses of neuroscience, psychology, evolution, trauma, addiction, overstimulation, and modern culture. From dopamine and cortisol to loneliness, achievement addiction, and the pressure to perform happiness, this episode examines why so many people feel disconnected from their own lives — and what history, philosophy, pop culture, and human connection reveal about truly feeling alive.Topics include:Why the brain adapts to pleasure and noveltyThe difference between stimulation and fulfillmentTrauma, stress, and the nervous system's impact on joyEvolutionary reasons humans struggle with contentmentWhy modern life can make us spectators instead of participantsThe role of relationships, meaning, awe, and shared strugglePop culture references from Nirvana to Black Mirror to Ted LassoHow to reconnect with ordinary moments and meaningful experiencesWhat we might say to someone who can't “just enjoy it”Thrive With Leo Coaching: If you want to reduce your psychological pain, regain your purpose and forge your own path, go to www.thrivewithleo.com to begin your journey.If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or self-harm, or is anxious, depressed, upset, or needs to talk, there are people who want to help:In the US: Crisis Text Line: Text CRISIS to 741741 for free, confidential crisis counseling.

Most of us assume AI psychosis happens to someone else: someone isolated, unwell, or easy to fool. Dr. Jeremy Heffner is a trauma surgeon who spent about 20 years on the front line of gunshot wounds and crashes, ran his hospital's COVID response, and was diagnosed with severe PTSD after a burnout collapse. Coming out of residential treatment, with his emotional walls still up, he started talking to ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok. Within days the models were calling him brilliant. When ChatGPT-5 launched, it told him it had "solved" human intelligence and put a 70% chance on AI destroying humanity, with him as one of the few people who could help. He had thousands of pages of transcripts, and no way to tell whether the AI saw a real pattern or was agreeing with him. In this episode, Jeremy talks with Dr. Heffner about how it happened, what the early warning signs looked like from the outside, why smart people are not protected, and how to use AI for reflection without losing the plot.

One-med-at-a-time sounds tidy on paper, but alcohol use disorder rarely behaves like a tidy problem. Dr. Reb Close and I sat down to discuss treating alcohol use disorder, and we've learned that many patients do better when we treat AUD the way we treat other chronic conditions: with a multimodal plan that targets more than one pathway and stays anchored to the person's real reason for drinking. We walk through how we think about combination medication strategies for alcohol cravings, including naltrexone, acamprosate, gabapentin, baclofen, and topiramate. You'll hear the practical “why” behind pairing meds, how we set expectations for naltrexone response, and how targeted dosing can give patients more control during high-risk moments. We also talk about monthly extended-release naltrexone (Vivitrol) and how we approach add-on oral dosing without overdoing it. Just as important, we keep coming back to the central clinical question: what does alcohol do for you? If drinking is driven by anxiety, insomnia, or trauma, the best AUD treatment may start with sleep, PTSD symptoms, nightmares, or triggers rather than another anti-craving pill. We close by zooming out to what best practice really looks like: therapy or groups, good sleep, nutrition, exercise, treatment of co-occurring mental health conditions, and more than one medication when it fits. Subscribe for more practical addiction medicine, share this with a clinician or friend who cares about recovery, and please leave a review so more people can find the show.To contact Dr. Grover: ammadeeasy@fastmailcom

Avoiding painful memories can feel like the most sensible response to trauma: if thinking about it hurts, why think about it? But avoidance can produce immediate relief while unintentionally teaching the brain that the memory itself remains dangerous. This episode explores the psychology and biology of trauma avoidance, what the research actually shows, and why recovery often involves learning to remember without experiencing the memory as a present threat.

The Suffering of Police Therapy | The Suffering Podcast What happens when the people trained to protect everyone else finally admit they need help themselves? Police officers spend their careers responding to humanity's darkest moments. They run toward danger while everyone else runs away. But when the shift ends, the trauma doesn't always stay behind. In this powerful episode of The Suffering Podcast, we explore The Suffering of Police Therapy—why so many officers hesitate to seek help, how the culture of policing has historically viewed mental health, and why that culture is finally beginning to change. Joining us are two nationally respected voices in first responder wellness who are leading that change from different perspectives. Dr. Anastasia Pytal is a Board Certified Police and Public Safety Psychologist, former first responder, and founder of the First Responders Resilience Center. She has dedicated her career to helping law enforcement officers and their families recover from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the invisible wounds of the profession. Alongside her is Luke Sciallo, a veteran police officer with the Township of Ocean Police Department, NJSPBA Peer Response Team Coordinator, and Pension Consultant. Luke has become one of New Jersey's leading advocates for officer wellness, peer support, and legislative reform, helping transform how law enforcement agencies respond to officers in crisis. Together, we discuss the emotional realities behind the badge, why asking for help is still difficult, how trauma silently impacts careers and families, and what departments can do to create a culture where seeking therapy is viewed as strength—not weakness. The conversation explores practical approaches to healing, the importance of culturally competent therapists, peer support, confidential counseling, officer wellness legislation, and why changing the culture may ultimately save lives. Whether you're an active officer, retired first responder, spouse, family member, therapist, or simply someone who wants to better understand the psychological cost of policing, this episode offers honesty, hope, and actionable insight. Featured Guests Dr. Anastasia Pytal Dr. Anastasia Pytal, MPA, PsyD, ABPP, is a licensed psychologist, Board Certified in Police and Public Safety Psychology, and founder of the First Responders Resilience Center. Her professional focus is helping law enforcement professionals and their loved ones navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, occupational stress, and relationship challenges through collaborative, evidence-based treatment. Dr. Pytal specializes in: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Internal Family Systems (IFS) Police trauma recovery Critical incident stress First responder resilience Family support She received specialized training in Critical Incident Stress Management for Emergency Services through the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation. As both a former first responder and psychologist, she brings a unique understanding of the emotional realities officers face after critical incidents. Dr. Pytal completed the Yale University School of Management Executive Education Women's Leadership Program, is a certified Hostage Negotiator, trained in Psychological Autopsies, serves as a founding member and Mental Health Liaison for the Survivors of Blue Suicide Foundation, is an active member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police Psychological Services Section, and has served on workgroups establishing best practices following an officer's death. Luke Sciallo Luke Sciallo is a police officer with the Township of Ocean Police Department and currently serves as the NJSPBA Peer Response Team Coordinator and Pension Consultant. A graduate of the New Jersey State Police Academy, Luke began his law enforcement career in 2001 and has spent more than two decades serving primarily in the Patrol Division, building extensive frontline experience while developing a passion for officer wellness. In his leadership role with the New Jersey State Policemen's Benevolent Association (NJSPBA), Luke helped transform the organization's Peer Response Team in 2022 by expanding it to include trained peer supporters, licensed clinical professionals, and clergy-based support services. The enhanced program has significantly strengthened New Jersey's ability to provide immediate, confidential assistance to officers experiencing personal or professional crises. Luke has also played a significant role in advancing officer wellness legislation, including A5792/S4590, signed into law in 2025. The landmark legislation provides: Up to 12 hours of paid, confidential counseling following a critical incident The ability for first responders to choose their own licensed mental health provider Confidentiality protections for peer support communications Protection from having to use sick or vacation time to receive mental health care Created in response to growing concerns surrounding first responder mental health and suicide, the law represents a major step toward reducing stigma and improving access to timely care throughout New Jersey's public safety community. Luke continues to advocate for mental health awareness, early intervention, confidential peer support, and building resilient law enforcement agencies through practical, experience-driven leadership. In This Episode Why officers often avoid therapy Breaking the stigma surrounding mental health PTSD and cumulative trauma in policing How EMDR helps officers heal The importance of culturally competent therapists Building trust between clinicians and law enforcement Peer support that actually works Critical incident recovery New Jersey's groundbreaking wellness legislation Why confidentiality matters Helping officers before they reach a crisis Creating healthier police departments This Episode Is For Police Officers Sheriff's Deputies State Troopers Federal Law Enforcement Corrections Officers Dispatchers Firefighters EMS Professionals Military Veterans Mental Health Professionals First Responder Families Community Leaders If this conversation impacts you, subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who serves or supports those who serve. Every honest conversation helps break the stigma. Every story shared makes it easier for another officer to ask for help. Because no one should suffer alone.

In this powerful episode of PTSD of the Christian Life, Pastor Brent Snook tackles one of the most subtle yet destructive sins in the Christian life — jealousy. Drawing from Proverbs 14:30, he reveals how envy works its way inward, rotting the bones and poisoning every relationship it touches.Pastor Brent identifies four traps that make us vulnerable: the trap of Prosperity — coveting what others have; the trap of Power — resenting those in authority; the trap of Performance — brooding over another's success; and the trap of People — where jealousy slithers right through the front door of our own homes.He then exposes the truth about jealousy — that it ultimately destroys not just its victims, but the one who carries it. From Cain to King Saul to Daniel's accusers, the pattern is unmistakable.But there is hope. Pastor Brent closes with four practical steps to triumph over jealousy: Pronounce it as sin, Pray for those you envy, Praise God for your own blessings, and Pursue love — because as Scripture reminds us, love does not envy.

At 12 years old, home alone in Brooksville, Florida, Jason Rigby felt someone grab his sunburned shoulder hard. He turned around. No one was there, but a white handprint was fading on his skin. Years later, fresh out of the Marine Corps after Somalia, Bosnia, and Haiti and no longer believing in God, he was replacing a well pump in the pump house of an old white church in Winlock, Washington, when an overwhelming presence filled the room.This episode opens the Higher Density Living series on angels, and it starts with the hardest question: how would you ever know you'd had an angel encounter?The Christian mystics took that question more seriously than almost anyone. Teresa of Ávila distinguished experiences that come through the physical senses from a quieter knowing of presence with no image or voice. John of the Cross warned people not to chase or cling to visions, even ones that might truly come from God. Their test wasn't "was it real?" It was "what did it produce?" Did it make you more humble, more loving, more honest, or did it make you feel spiritually superior?Jason also takes on the skeptic's side: William James's research on mystical states, ecstatic seizures linked to the anterior insula, and why finding where an experience happens in the brain doesn't settle where it came from.In this episode:The handprint experience and the Winlock pump house encounterCombat, PTSD, and losing faith in the God he was raised withTeresa of Ávila's kinds of spiritual visionJohn of the Cross on why you shouldn't worship the doorwayThe brain as instrument: what neuroscience can and can't tell usA simple two-column practice for working with your own unexplained experiencesTimestamps:00:00 Intro01:00 The handprint at 12 years old04:00 Combat, PTSD, and losing faith05:15 The Winlock pump house07:50 Teresa of Ávila and the kinds of vision10:10 John of the Cross: don't cling13:30 William James, the brain, and ecstatic seizures16:50 The mystics' real test20:40 The two-column practice23:00 Next episode: what early Christians believed angels wereLinks:Read the companion article on Substack: https://higherdensityliving.substack.com/p/i-felt-a-hand-on-my-shoulder-nobody

***Show note: Robin is still insanely sick with COVID and this episode is not closely edited.  On January 12, 1995, 18-year-old Christa Pike lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer to an abandoned steam plant on the University of Tennessee's agricultural campus and tortured her to death. She took a piece of Colleen's skull back to her dorm and showed it off at breakfast. She confessed. She has never denied any of it.She was also sexually abused from the age of two. At five, she drew her abuser for a kindergarten teacher, and the school called her parents. At eleven, a neighbor raped her, pleaded down, and served no prison time. At seventeen, a stranger raped her, and nobody was ever arrested. She was born with brain damage and had bipolar disorder and PTSD, none of it diagnosed until years after a jury sentenced her to die. That jury never heard any of it.Before trial, prosecutors offered her life without parole. Her lawyers spent about ninety minutes on it and didn't advise her to take it. Her co-defendant, who testified years later that he carved the pentagram, was seventeen. He got life with parole and is eligible now. The third participant got probation.On Wednesday, September 30, Tennessee plans to execute her. It would be the first woman the state has executed since 1819. The physician overseeing it is the same one who spent over an hour failing to find a vein during Tony Carruthers' execution attempt in May. Her clemency petition sits on Governor Bill Lee's desk.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-a-true-crime-podcast--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcastTikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedeviltruecrime

What happens when a conventionally trained physician watches someone he loves struggle with years of unexplained, multisystem illness—and eventually discovers that Lyme disease and Bartonella may have been part of the picture all along? In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, hosts Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen sit down with Raphael “Tito” Balbino, MD, a physician trained in Family Medicine and Geriatrics who now leads Mandarin Wellness Center, a functional and integrative medicine practice in Jacksonville, Florida. Dr. Balbino's path into Lyme disease and complex chronic illness was not planned. Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Dr. Balbino moved to the United States as a teenager. His fascination with anatomy eventually led him to study human biology at UC San Diego, attend medical school at the University of Illinois Chicago, and complete postgraduate training in Family Medicine and Geriatric Medicine in North Carolina. But while his medical career was developing, something much more personal was happening at home. When His Wife's Illness Changed Everything Throughout medical school and residency, Dr. Balbino watched his wife experience a changing collection of symptoms including headaches, brain fog, sleep problems, gastrointestinal issues, anxiety, fatigue, and gallbladder attacks. The symptoms appeared across different systems and at different times. Yet despite interacting with the conventional medical system, no one seemed able to step back and identify a unifying explanation. Dr. Balbino describes watching his wife being treated as a collection of individual problems rather than as one interconnected patient. Eventually, she began doing her own research and exploring nutrition, gut health, anti-inflammatory strategies, and functional medicine. Dr. Balbino credits that work—particularly addressing the gut and inflammation—with helping her become substantially more functional. Years later, Dr. Shirley Hartman helped them investigate another possibility. Testing reportedly identified evidence consistent with multiple Borrelia strains as well as Bartonella, providing a new framework through which they could reconsider decades of seemingly disconnected symptoms. That experience would ultimately transform not only his wife's health journey, but Dr. Balbino's approach to medicine. Why Lyme Disease Can Be So Difficult to Recognize Dr. Balbino reflects on how little emphasis tick-borne disease received during his conventional medical education. He remembers learning the classic associations—tick exposure, characteristic rashes, acute presentations—but says there was little emphasis on the epidemiology or the complicated, multisystem presentations he would later encounter in practice. During residency, he treated a patient with an acute presentation of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, including a characteristic rash and treatment with doxycycline. Looking back, he contrasts cases like that with patients whose symptoms develop gradually, migrate, fluctuate, or involve multiple systems. Today, Lyme-related referrals are the largest referral source at Mandarin Wellness Center, where Dr. Balbino sees patients ranging from those who have no idea why they are chronically ill to experienced Lyme patients searching for additional options. For more conversations with physicians working in Lyme and tick-borne disease, explore the Tick Boot Camp Doctors Podcast Directory. Lyme Disease Beyond the Northeastern United States The conversation also explores an important misconception: that Lyme disease is primarily a Northeastern U.S. problem. Dr. Balbino discusses his Brazilian background, his wife's childhood exposure to rural environments in Brazil, and how learning about Lyme cases in Brazil expanded his understanding of the global nature of tick-borne illness. He specifically references a previous Tick Boot Camp interview about Lyme disease in Brazil that helped change his perspective. Gut Health, Inflammation, and the Nervous System One of the most personal portions of the interview involves Dr. Balbino's description of his wife's experience with years of intrusive anxiety and worrisome thoughts. He explains that counseling and other approaches did not seem to resolve those symptoms, but that significant improvement followed her work on gut health and an anti-inflammatory diet. The conversation expands into the complex relationship between: gut health inflammation immune regulation autoimmunity mast cell activation the nervous system chronic stress neurological symptoms More recently, Dr. Balbino says his wife has also made additional progress through nervous system training and regulation. For listeners interested in this area, Tick Boot Camp has also explored nervous system regulation and neuroplasticity with Cathleen King of Primal Trust and Lindsay Mitchell of Vital-Side. Building an Individualized Lyme Disease Treatment Strategy Dr. Balbino emphasizes that patients arrive at his practice at very different stages and therefore may require very different approaches. For acute presentations, he discusses situations where antibiotics can play an important role. For chronic and complex patients, his approach may also incorporate herbal protocols, detoxification support, organ support, nutrition, vitamins, minerals, and other functional medicine strategies. Rather than presenting one treatment as appropriate for everyone, the discussion highlights the need to understand the individual patient, their history, their tolerance for treatment, and the factors that may be keeping them stuck. SOT / Q-REstrain for Lyme and Tick-Borne Infections The conversation takes a deeper dive into Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT), which Dr. Balbino discusses under the newer name Q-REstrain. He explains why his practice became interested in the therapy, including exposure through ILADS education and conversations with patients and families who reported significant improvements. Matt and Rich ask Dr. Balbino to explain the therapy, how it differs from antibiotics and herbal approaches, and where he believes it may fit within a broader treatment strategy. Listeners interested in another physician's perspective can also hear Tick Boot Camp's discussion of SOT with Dr. Hank Sloan. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Another major portion of the episode explores Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM). Dr. Balbino explains the concept of pairing specific frequencies with targeted tissues or physiological processes. He discusses using customized programs intended to address issues such as inflammation, pain, joints, ligaments, adhesions, and other patient-specific concerns. He contrasts FSM with technologies such as TENS units and Rife-type devices and describes how patients may use programmed frequency combinations over a set period of time. Dr. Balbino also shares patient experiences from his practice, including a nurse with longstanding pain and arthritis who incorporated FSM into her care. TruDOSE Platelet IV Therapy and Regenerative Medicine The conversation also explores TruDOSE Platelet IV Therapy, a regenerative therapy Dr. Balbino has incorporated into his practice. Dr. Balbino explains that the treatment uses a patient's own blood, which is processed to concentrate platelets before the platelets are administered intravenously. He discusses platelets not simply in the context of blood clotting, but as carriers of growth factors and signaling molecules involved in inflammation, repair, and healing. One aspect that particularly interests Dr. Balbino is the attempt to standardize the platelet dose. Rather than simply preparing platelet-rich plasma without knowing the exact concentration being delivered, he describes the TruDOSE process as measuring platelet levels before and after processing to provide a more individualized dose. Dr. Balbino shares several memorable patient experiences that have shaped his interest in regenerative medicine, including patients dealing with traumatic brain injury, neurological dysfunction, chronic pain, PTSD-like symptoms, and vision problems. One case involved a patient with longstanding neurological injuries who reported unexpected changes after treatment, including improvements in areas that had not been the original focus of therapy. Another patient with a history of traumatic brain injury and significant visual impairment reported improvements in vision following treatment. These individual patient experiences have challenged some of Dr. Balbino's previous assumptions about what may be possible for people dealing with longstanding dysfunction. For a physician who originally trained in geriatrics—where much of medicine can involve managing decline—seeing patients report improvements in functions they believed were permanently lost has helped reshape the way he thinks about aging, chronic illness, repair, and healing. From Conventional Geriatrics to Complex Chronic Illness Dr. Balbino's professional transformation is one of the central themes of this episode. His wife's health journey first opened his mind to approaches outside his conventional training. Later, his relationship with Dr. Shirley Hartman exposed him more deeply to Lyme disease, functional medicine, and complex chronic illness. Dr. Hartman had practiced for decades before preparing for retirement, and Dr. Balbino eventually stepped into the practice she had built. Following her passing, he describes initially feeling the enormous weight of continuing the work of a physician whose patients would tell him that she had “saved” their lives. Over time, that pressure evolved into something different: a commitment to continue serving the community and carrying forward what he learned from her. A Physician's Mission to Serve Near the end of the interview, Dr. Balbino explains how working with chronically ill patients has fundamentally changed his relationship with medicine. Patients with Lyme disease and complex chronic illness often arrive after years of suffering, failed treatments, unanswered questions, and feeling unheard. That experience has created what Dr. Balbino describes as almost a family environment within his practice—a community connected by a shared understanding of suffering. His philosophy today is simple: his job is to serve the person sitting in front of him. And if he is not the right person to help them, he wants to help connect them with someone who may be. For patients who have spent years searching for answers, that willingness to listen, remain curious, and continue looking for options can itself be powerful.
