Menschen mit Traumafolgen schleppen eine tonnenschwere Last durch ihr Leben: die abgespaltenen und belastenden Gefühle von Scham und Schuld.
Most of us have encountered trauma either in our own direct experience or with someone in our immediate circle. This talk examines the shame and suffering that arise from trauma and how meditation practices can support a path to full spiritual healing. We focus on practices that help us access a sense of love and safety, and then increase our capacity to bring presence to the unprocessed, unlived life in the body. (Note: For many who suffer from PTSD, therapy is invaluable and these practices are not considered as a substitute.) Podcast Intro Music: Adrienne Torf (www.adriennetorf.com)
Nearly 16.4 million Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces in World War II, and for millions of survivors, the fighting left many of them physically and mentally broken for life. There was a 25% death rate in Japanese POW camps like Bataan, where starvation and torture were rampant, and fierce battles against suicidal Imperial Japanese forces, like at Iwo Jima, where 6,800 Americans died. Additionally, the psychological toll of witnessing Holocaust atrocities and enduring up to three years away from home intensified the war’s brutality. This is why when they returned home, they had physical and psychological wounds that festered, sometimes for years, sometimes for decades, and sometimes for the rest of their lives. Veterans suffering from recurring nightmares, uncontrollable rages, and social isolation were treated by doctors who had little understanding of PTSD, a term that didn’t enter the DSM until 1984. Returning veterans and their families were forced to double up with their parents or squeeze into overcrowded, substandard shelters as the country wrestled with a housing crisis. Divorce rates doubled, with more than 1 million GIs leaving or being left by their wives by 1950. Alcoholism was rampant, and an entire generation became addicted to smoking. To explore this dark shadow that hung over the WW2 generation, we’re joined by David Nasaw, author of The Wounded Generation: Coming Home After World War II. Those affected include the period’s most influential political and cultural leaders, including John F. Kennedy, Robert Dole, and Henry Kissinger; J. D. Salinger and Kurt Vonnegut; Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Stewart. We look at the ways the horrors of World War 2 shaped their lives, but we also see incredible resilience and those who found ways to move past the horrors of their wartime experiences, and what we can learn from that today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Christy Tennery-Spalding, activist and organizer, shares how growing up near Washington D.C. shaped her oppositional stance to power structures and led her to find a “political home” in San Francisco's activist community. She introduces the concept of informed consent in organizing—ensuring participants feel safe, informed, and empowered rather than treated as bodies in the street. Tennery-Spalding challenges the wellness industrial complex's version of self-care, revealing how she fell into the trap of “capitalist self-care”—overloading herself with yoga classes, meditation, and clean eating until she burned out from her own self-care routine. Drawing from her experience with severe scoliosis, depression, and PTSD, she advocates for anti-capitalist self-care that questions productivity culture and challenges the belief that our worth is tied to usefulness. She explores how childhood conditioning around pleasing others, performing, and being palatable shapes our relationship with rest, and why sometimes the most radical act of self-care is simply lying down and being intentionally “not useful.” Hosted on Acast.

This summer, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said he'd like to see psychedelic therapies for depression, trauma and other hard-to-treat disorders approved for use within the next 12 months. Last year the FDA rejected psychedelic-assisted therapy for use in treating PTSD. We check in with long-time researchers about how state and federal governments can influence the momentum of their field, how they're reconciling the new right wing support, and what it all means for the future of psychedelic research and therapy.

You might think you know about Malala. But you'd be wrong. For so many years, she stood as a symbol of resistance: the teenage girl who was shot by the Taliban for insisting on the right to go to school and who later won the Nobel Prize at 17 for her efforts to make education available for everyone. But there was another story that existed behind the headlines: the story of a young woman who was only just understanding who she was. Now 28, Malala has published a new book, Finding My Way which describes some of that extraordinary journey. In this episode we discuss her panic attack after smoking a bong at Oxford (and how this retriggered undiagnosed PTSD), what friendship taught her, her views on marriage and how they've changed, as well as the sadness she carries for Afghanistan and all the women who are denied an education around the world. Plus: how she fell in love with a hot cricketer. This is such a powerful conversation and Malala is also funny, warm and incredibly wise. You will laugh. You might cry. But whatever happens, you'll emerge with a new perspective on life. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 01:27 Recovery and Continued Education 05:12 College Life and First Experiences 07:03 Mental Health and Panic Attack 11:09 Academic Struggles and Social Life 17:48 Reflections on Friendship and Cultural Pressures 26:02 Reflecting on Nasin's (her cousin's) Struggles 27:49 Reflections on Life Choices 30:14 Marriage: A Journey of Doubts and Discoveries 31:47 Redefining Marriage Norms 34:36 Contemplating Motherhood 37:04 The Fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban 44:27 Global Crises and Personal Reflections

A Spiral Into Darkness, Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. The trauma of that moment compounded years of emotional strain from both law enforcement and military service. His marriage began to crumble, and the burden of grief became unbearable. “I didn't know how to cope,” he admitted. “I started self-medicating with alcohol and other destructive behaviors. It felt like there was no way out.” As the darkness grew, suicidal thoughts began to take hold. One day, he reached the breaking point and attempted to end his life. “The only reason I'm still here is because my handgun jammed,” he said. “That failure turned out to be the reason I got a second chance.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Finding Hope Through Horses That second chance came through an unexpected source, horses. Introduced to equine care by a new girlfriend, he discovered that working with horses provided a peace he hadn't felt in years. “At first, I didn't understand it,” he said. “But horses don't judge. They sense your emotions. When I was angry, they pulled away. When I was calm, they came closer. They made me face what I was running from.” Through consistent work with horses, he began to rebuild trust, patience, and emotional control. “The horses taught me to breathe again,” he said. “They helped me find purpose.” Today, he shares his message through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, helping others in law enforcement and the military confront PTSD and seek healing. Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks.

This form of therapy involves working with horses in a supportive, structured environment to promote emotional recovery and personal growth. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms.

Yuval Neria and Prudence Fisher of Columbia University's "Man O' War Project" found that equine therapy can significantly reduce PTSD and depression symptoms in veterans. Dr. Neria explains, “Both PTSD patients and horses are preoccupied with ongoing concerns about trust and safety. This innovative therapy facilitates bonding, overcoming fear, and re-establishing confidence. One must build trust with a horse for it to warm to you.” A separate study cited by "Psychiatrist.com" showed remarkable results in veterans who participated in an eight-session Equine-Assisted Therapy for PTSD program. Among 63 participants, 50% showed clinically significant improvement in symptoms that continued months after treatment ended. How Horses Heal Trauma, Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. Horses have an extraordinary ability to mirror human emotions. For trauma survivors, this connection can be life-changing. The benefits of equine therapy for PTSD include: Reduced symptoms: Studies show fewer flashbacks, nightmares, and hypervigilance. Improved emotional regulation: Horses provide a safe, non-judgmental space for emotional growth. Increased self-esteem and confidence: Caring for a horse can restore a sense of purpose and control. Enhanced social connection: Working with horses encourages communication and trust-building. Mindfulness and grounding: Being in the moment with a horse helps individuals stay centered and calm. A Mission to Help Others Nate Fisher, the former officer's story isn't just about survival, it's about transformation. “I thought my life was over,” he says. “Now, every day I get to help others find the same peace I found through horses.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. His podcast appearances and outreach work are dedicated to raising awareness about trauma recovery, PTSD, and the healing potential of equine therapy.

One of the best parts of being an early-bird is that I almost never hit traffic on my way into the office – though living two miles away certainly helps, too. But one thing I do miss about my longer drives to work some days is the time I was able to spend listening to the radio. Usually a mix of news and music, but sometimes it's just whichever station isn't playing commercials. But there's one program I make a point to listen to: NPR's My Unsung Hero. It's usually no more than two minutes long, but the stories about what often seem like small acts of kindness often have impacts that last far beyond that moment. For my guest this week, that act was being handed a pamphlet by a concerned coworker.As a Marine Corp Veteran, Mark Ross was suffering from PTSD, and as he shares in this week's episode, after reading it over, he realized that of the 12 common symptoms, he checked nearly every single one. It was a small gesture of encouragement that would not only save Mark's life, but the lives of all those he's helped in his journey towards recovery. After living with the symptoms for years, Mark has now decided to turn his pain into purpose. Today, he's the creator and the host of the podcast, Speak Your Truth with Mark Ross, a show dedicated to mental health awareness, community resilience, and honest conversations that shatter stigma. Mark also co-facilitates fatherhood groups to incarcerated men at the Milwaukee County Community Reintegration Center, helping them reclaim their roles as fathers and leaders, and speaks frequently on the intersection of veterans and mental health. It's a wonderful, if not tough conversation that I can promise ends in plenty of laughter. Enjoy the show!

Title: Do Plant-Based Medicines Work? with Todd Youngblood Guest: Todd Youngblood, Co-Founder of Pneumogladius Host: Conrad Weaver, First Responder Wellness Podcast In this episode, Conrad Weaver sits down with Todd Youngblood, co-founder of Pneuma Gladius, a company dedicated to expanding access to plant-based medicines for mental health treatment. Todd shares the fascinating history and science behind natural psychedelic substances like psilocybin (magic mushrooms), ayahuasca, and mescaline — and how these naturally occurring compounds are showing tremendous promise in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The conversation dives into the stigma and myths surrounding psychedelics, the legal landscape evolving across the U.S., and how structured, intentional use of these substances — under proper guidance — can help individuals gain new perspectives on trauma and create lasting change. Todd also explains how these treatments differ from traditional medications, why they're not meant for long-term use, and how they promote neuroplasticity and personal growth. Conrad and Todd discuss the parallels between natural wellness approaches — like exercise, breathing, and time in nature — and the growing understanding that healing doesn't always come from pharmaceuticals alone. ABOUT TODD YOUNGBLOOD Todd Youngblood is a veteran advocate and mental health innovator dedicated to helping veterans and first responders heal from trauma, PTSD, and addiction through alternative therapies. As the founder of Pneuma Gladius, a Public Benefit Corporation, Todd is building an ecosystem that combines structured plant-based medicine, safe healing environments, and data collection to advance research and improve outcomes.

A disarmingly personal account of the new science of memory manipulation by one of today's leading pioneers in the fieldAs a graduate student at MIT, Steve Ramirez successfully created false memories in the lab. Now, as a neuroscientist working at the frontiers of brain science, he foresees a future where we can replace our negative memories with positive ones. In How to Change a Memory, Ramirez draws on his own memories--of friendship, family, loss, and recovery--to reveal how memory can be turned on and off like a switch, edited, and even constructed from nothing.A future in which we can change our memories of the past may seem improbable, but in fact, the everyday act of remembering is one of transformation. Intentionally editing memory to improve our lives takes advantage of the brain's natural capacity for change.In How to Change a Memory, Ramirez explores how scientists discovered that memories are fluid--they change over time, can be erased, reactivated, and even falsely implanted in the lab. Reflecting on his own path as a scientist, he examines how memory manipulation shapes our imagination and sense of self. If we can erase a deeply traumatic memory, would it change who we are? And what would that change mean anyway? Throughout, Ramirez carefully considers the ethics of artificially controlling memory, exploring how we might use this tool responsibly--for both personal healing and the greater good.A masterful blend of memoir and cutting-edge science, How to Change a Memory explores how neuroscience has reached a critical juncture, where scientists can see the potential of memory manipulation to help people suffering from the debilitating effects of PTSD, anxiety, Alzheimer's, addiction, and a host of other neurological and behavioral disorders.Steve Ramirez has been featured on CNN, NPR, and the BBC and in leading publications such as The New York Times, National Geographic, Wired, Forbes, The Guardian, The Economist, and Nature. An award-winning neuroscientist who has given TED talks on his groundbreaking work on memory manipulation, he is associate professor of psychological and brain sciences at Boston University.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - https://wellingtonsquarebooks.com/book/9780691266688

Norm Wielsch was a law enforcement officer for over 25 years — 16 of those as an undercover narcotic agent. In 1998, he was diagnosed with an incurable neuro-muscular disease, and after more than 30 surgeries, he became addicted to opioids. Wielsch was diagnosed with PTSD, and then his daughter was diagnosed with a serious illness and given a poor prognosis. In a downward spiral, Wielsch made a series of bad decisions that landed him in federal prison. While incarcerated, he obtained a master's degree in Theology and Counseling, a Doctorate in Christian Counseling, and a Drug and Alcohol Counseling Degree. He currently works at a men's residential treatment facility as a registered alcohol and drug counselor and pastoral care provider. He is a working credentialed chaplain who hopes to one day launch a first responder ministry. Wielsch also has a master's degree in Law Enforcement Management and is an expert in law enforcement tactics, criminal investigations, pursuit driving, high risk search warrant service, PTSD and the police culture.

Many veterans struggle with mental health conditions that began during their time in uniform but were never formally diagnosed while they were serving. In this episode, we explore how those experiences are recognized and understood by the VA — even without an in-service diagnosis on record.We'll talk about how symptoms, service experiences, and post-service medical evidence can help paint a clear picture of what you've been through, and why it's important to share your story in a way that connects your military experience to your current mental health.
She threw the Bible; it opened itself.“But those who hope in the Lord. . . “ Kim Lengling had no hope. Out of desperation she cried out to the God she didn't believe existed and out of frustration threw a Bible she had never read. But at just the right moment, God intervened with a slight whisper. Kim was retired from the military, carrying PTSD with her. She thought God had abandoned her, but now she started attending church with skepticism, but she came back time and again. Learn why one day soon thereafter, she found herself skipping for joy out of church, hand in hand with her daughter. Kim shares the tools she now has to deal with her PTSD and anxiety, along with God's help, how she helps others manage anxiety through her podcast Let Fear Bounce, and what she now thinks of Isaiah 40:31, the special verse God whispered to her.Helpful Links:Kim's Podcast, Let Fear BounceKim's Book, Women's Stories of Accomplishment, Encouragement, and InfluenceKim's Book, When Grace Found Me: Real Life Stories of Women of FaithListing of Kim's other books: www.kimlenglingauthor.comIsaiah 40:31National Center for PTSDWounded Warrior ProjectOne80 Episode 68: Navy Seal to God's WarriorLet us know what you thought of the show!Follow One80 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website.Never miss a One80.

Power, control, and communication shape every birth—and too often, they decide whether care feels safe or traumatic. We dig into practical ways to prevent harm in obstetric anesthesia by centering trauma-informed care, reducing stigma around substance use disorder, and giving real choice during cesarean delivery.We start by distinguishing complications from trauma and laying out the six pillars that make care safer: safety, transparency, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural humility. From there, we map prevention across three levels—primary disruption of trauma through clear communication and environment, secondary recognition and mitigation of events, and tertiary support for patients with PTSD. You'll hear concrete steps for SUD in pregnancy, including continuing methadone or buprenorphine, optimizing regional anesthesia, avoiding medication switches, and using person-first language that builds trust rather than barriers.We also spotlight the Elevate project, which advances patient-centered anesthesia choices for cesarean delivery through stakeholder engagement, research, and an in-person summit focused on equity and shared decision-making. The aim is simple and vital: align what clinicians must do with what patients most value, from how we speak at the drape to who is present in the room. Finally, we share life-saving resources from the AFE Foundation—education, an international registry, and a stabilization checklist—to turn rare crises into moments of coordinated, effective response.If these ideas resonate, share this episode with a colleague, subscribe on your favorite platform, and leave a review with one change you plan to make on your next shift. Your feedback helps more clinicians find these tools and deliver safer, more humane maternal anesthesia care.For show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/279-from-birthrooms-to-boardrooms-preventing-trauma-and-elevating-maternal-anesthesia-care/© 2025, The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation
In this final episode of the three-part series, we explore how healing moves from reflection into action. “What's Next” is about reclaiming agency, aligning choices with values, and noticing the quiet signs of growth that often begin within the body and the nervous system. If you've ever felt almost ready to take the next step but weren't sure where to start, this episode helps you recognize readiness, identify what supports you, and take meaningful steps forward at your own pace. You'll Learn • How “What's Next” represents healing through action and choice • Signs of readiness such as curiosity, openness, and less attachment to the old story • Simple strategies for taking action rooted in research and mindfulness • How to meet fear, perfectionism, and fatigue with compassion • What embodied progress looks and feels like as your system stabilizes and curiosity returns Reflection Prompts What's one thing I'm ready or almost ready to do next What people, practices, or supports can help me move forward How will I notice progress, even in subtle ways Healing is not about speed but direction and alignment. Every small, value-based step reinforces the belief that you can shape your life and live it fully.

Send us a textHow have women used textile work to create meaning and purpose in their lives throughout history?If you'd like to know how creative interests like knitting and sewing can help in psychological transformation, listen to my guest this week Nicole Nehrig, clinical and research psychologist, who has helped individuals and couples process trauma, PTSD & depression, strengthen relationships, find meaning and purpose in life, and live creatively and authentically. Her work and her own experience inspired her book, With Her Own Hands: Women Weaving Their Stories which integrates psychological theory and practice with historical accounts and firsthand stories of the meaningful role that textile work has played in so many women's lives. Nicole shares how textiles have been essential to survival, the development and expression of culture throughout much of human history and how women have been able to tell their stories, shape and express their identities, process difficult emotions, stand up for what they believe in, nurture relationships, and improve their quality of life. She shows us how vital creativity in all its forms is for enhancing the richness and quality of our lives.You can find out more about Nicole's work on https://nicolenehrig.com/And follow her on Linkedin in @nicolenehrigYou can follow Host Lou Hamilton on Instagram @brave_newgirl and on Linkedin @LouHamiltoncreatelabPS.

Maayan shares her personal journey from her upbringing between Israel and the US to leading organizations focused on Jewish philanthropy. The conversation explores Natal's mission to support trauma victims in Israel, especially following the events of October 7th, and how the organization builds resilience in individuals and communities through helplines, clinical support, and proactive programs. Maayan discusses the challenges of addressing trauma, the importance of human connection, and how Natal's work extends beyond Israel to inspire similar initiatives abroad. The episode closes with a personal lightning round, highlighting Maayan's insights on hope, coping, and the power of community in times of crisis.

What if your biggest breakthroughs aren't blocked by willpower, but by old code running in the background? We sit down with hypnotherapist and NLP coach Matt Johnson to map the invisible forces that shape behavior—childhood imprints, nervous system alarms, and identity “thermostats”—and then we show how to change them.Matt recounts the hiking accident that led to years of light and sound sensitivity, the SPECT scan that revealed PTSD, and the turning point where traditional treatments gave way to targeted work with hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming, and somatic tools. You'll hear how the subconscious computes rather than reasons, why ages zero to seven are so pivotal, and how “parts” formed in childhood keep trying to protect you as an adult. We walk through parts integration to resolve inner conflict, reframe people pleasing and imposter syndrome, and align self-worth with assertiveness.If you've ever hit a goal and mysteriously stalled, Matt's identity thermostat concept and pain-versus-pleasure strategy will make sense of self-sabotage. We get tactical with habit design—1% daily gains, stacking joy so “fun gets done,” and the Navy SEAL-style 10-second focus to push through discomfort. Matt also demonstrates quick, portable NLP exercises: a power-scaling visualization to shrink intimidation and a “spin” technique to unwind body tension in minutes. Along the way, we compare hypnosis, NLP, EMDR, and somatic release so you can choose the right tool for your nervous system.You'll leave with a practical toolkit and a hopeful frame: if an imprint can be installed, it can be updated. Explore Matt's weekly hypnosis program, Limitless by Design, and grab his free NLP Mind Magic course for step-by-step exercises on perfectionism, procrastination, rejection, and more.

Does OnlyFans empower or exploit its content creators? Do subscribers make real connections? Nick Pell separates fact from fantasy on Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1233On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Just the top one percent of OnlyFans creators earn a third of all revenue, while median earnings are just $150/month or less — far from the sensational headlines promising six-figure incomes that attract most new creators to the platform.Most user interactions aren't genuine — about 70% of platform revenue comes from messaging, but creators often outsource chats to overseas workers or use AI chatbots, meaning subscribers aren't getting the authentic connection they're paying for.Creating OnlyFans content creates serious long-term career risks. The digital footprint is permanent, making future employment difficult, and many creators face doxxing, stalking, harassment, and mental health issues including depression and PTSD.The platform harbors exploitation and trafficking concerns. Investigations have documented patterns of coercion, "e-pimping," underage content, and cases where creators are controlled by abusive partners or managers who take their earnings.Before pursuing any gig economy opportunity, research the realistic earnings, hidden costs, and long-term consequences. Ask yourself if the work aligns with your values and future goals, not just immediate financial needs.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Your brain splits off traumatic memories to protect you, but healing means discovering layers you didn't know were buried. A child taught to watch for kidnapping at school can't feel safe even behind fences while other kids play freely, and recording that memory decades later reveals the mind buried the worst part until feeling safe enough to remember. Real-time inner child work demonstrates how placing your hand on your heart and speaking directly to that frightened part creates the relief you've been craving. Abuse survivors feel frustrated when "new" memories surface, but it means you're finally safe enough to handle them, and your sensitivity isn't a flaw but the exact quality that sustains human connection.

The Shattering Point: What Happens When Childhood Trauma Finally Breaks ThroughMeet Andrea Leeb, a successful Manhattan attorney, writer, and high-functioning adult who learned the hard way that survival is not the same as healing.Andrea's childhood was marked by severe sexual abuse and an environment of agonizing denial—a trauma so deep that when her mother discovered it, she was struck with literal "hysterical blindness." For decades, Andrea buried the pain under a polished exterior, achieving success while secretly battling PTSD, panic, and crippling repression.This raw, honest conversation is about the moment the façade shatters, the psychological rebirth that follows, and the universal power of telling your truth.In this essential mental health session, we discuss:The Perfectionism Trap: Why striving to appear successful and "fine" is a powerful, yet destructive, trauma response that delays healing for high-functioning adults.The PTSD in Plain Sight: Andrea explains how her PTSD hid behind a successful career, and how to spot the subtle signs of trauma in your own life that you might be labeling as "anxiety" or "burnout."From Silence to Self-Awareness: The essential tools that fueled her "psychological rebirth," including trauma therapy, EMDR, and the power of boundary work.The Incest Survivor's Lifelong Impact: How growing up in a home defined by abuse, silence, and not being believed shaped every corner of her mental reality.The Power of Truth: If you're stuck in silence, Andrea offers a profoundly moving reminder that it is never too late to begin your healing journey and become the person you were meant to be.This conversation is a living, breathing testament to the fact that healing isn't linear, but it is always worth the fight.Press play to give yourself the mental health break you need.Support the showHave a question for the host or guest?

Thanks for joining me in Session 315 of The Behavioral Observations Podcast. In this episode, I spoke with Drs. Gabi Morgan and David Adams to dive deep into trauma-informed behavior analysis. Gabi brings her 30-year journey in the field—from undergrad roots to professorship at Bay Path University—while David shares his evolution from child and family therapy to clinical psychology, with a heavy focus on foster and adoptive parenting. Both guests are passionate about closing the divide between trauma therapy and behavioral strategies, and they credit mentors like Dr. Jeannie Golden for lighting the way. We kick things off by unpacking what trauma really means. In doing so, as a content warning, please be aware that we do make general references to a variety of traumatic and adverse experiences. Having said that, David walks us through SAMHSA's three-part definition: the event, the experience, and the effects. It's not the event itself that defines trauma—it's the individual's response. He introduces "adverse conditioning experiences" as a behavior-analytic twist on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), spotlighting how negative associations get wired in through conditioning. From there, we contrast PTSD and complex PTSD. Same core symptoms (intrusive thoughts, avoidance, etc.), but complex PTSD adds prolonged exposure and three extra layers: impaired self-worth, rocky relationships, and emotional dysregulation. Gabi drives home a critical point: folks with developmental disabilities are at higher risk for trauma but often fly under the diagnostic radar. We need to get better at spotting trauma-related behaviors in this population. Screening, Brain Science, and Practical Strategies Screening is a big theme. We all agree behavior analysts aren't formally trained in assessment, but we have to be aware of how this is done. Gabi loves the Child Health and Development Institute's Child Trauma Screen (CTS), and the Massachusetts Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (Mass CANS) tool. David then nerds out on the neurobiology: trauma affects the amygdala (hypervigilance), hippocampus (memory glitches), hypothalamus (stress gone haywire), and frontal lobe (decision-making on the fritz). Enter the "amygdala hijack"—when fear short-circuits rational thought. Bottom line? Kids in fight-or-flight aren't in a teachable moment. Safety and calm have to come first. We close the show with actionable takeaways: risk-benefit analyses for every intervention (especially with histories of food neglect), "kind extinction" (empathy + withholding reinforcers), and the six pillars of trauma-informed care (safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, cultural competence). TIC isn't a "hyphenated" ABA—it's the whole framework. Advice for new BCBAs? Seek trauma training, question "business as usual," and be the stable adult in a kid's chaotic world. Empathy, creativity, and reducing fear are your superpowers. Additional Resources Toward Trauma-Informed Applications of Behavior Analysis (Rajaraman, et al., 2021) Inside JABA 10 with Drs.

Rachael, a trauma therapist and today's storyteller, describes how her early childhood abuse was buried by the protective mechanism of dissociative amnesia. As Rachael wrote to Dr. H, “The only way I could continue to live, with no way out, with no one to tell, with no words even to describe what was happening to me, was to forget what was happening to me….when our minds forget, our bodies remember.”Rachael saved herself by forgetting, then was forced to finally face what happened to her when her body carried out its ultimate rebellion in the context of having her third child, her first girl….a little baby girl, with no one to protect her….or at least that's what the terrible and unrelenting obsessions began to say.Support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/396871/supportRachael Parsons Svendsenhttps://www.rachaelsvendsen.com/"I Love You, I Hate You, Are You My Mom?"

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Derek DeVos, Technical Sergeant (Retired), USAF as guest to the show. About Derek DeVos, Technical Sergeant (Retired), USAF: Derek raised his right hand in January 2009 and served over 15 years in the United States Air Force. From Utah to Alaska, the Republic of Korea to North Carolina and New Mexico, and through two deployments that tested every part of him, he carried both the pride and the weight of being an Airman. Derek's career ended early when PTSD and physical conditions caught up with him, and he was medically retired on September 15, 2024. Derek is now a 100% disabled veteran, continuing the mission through The PTSD, Inc., a nonprofit he founded in Statesville, NC to ensure veterans and families don't have to fight alone. About The PTSD: The PTSD, Inc. is a disabled veteran-founded nonprofit based in Statesville, NC, built from lived experience. Our mission is to reduce barriers for veterans and their families by providing peer-led support, community-driven resources, and practical tools that restore stability and hope. We believe every veteran deserves a clear path forward, and no family should have to fight PTSD alone. We keep it simple: • The PATH – veterans walking together through peer-led support groups. • The HUB – a one-stop resource navigation center, that ends dead ends and red tape in the system. • BRAVE TAILS – veterans and shelter dogs healing side by side . • The AIMS – adaptive memory and accountability support, helping track spirals and wins. • The 2nd Front – our fastest-growing lane, designed for caregivers, spouses, and families. Behind every veteran is a second front line: caregivers carrying the invisible weight. This program gives them a peer-led community of their own, with respite, tools, and recognition. All Home Care Matters was one of the first to recognize and amplify this vision , proving the urgency and resonance of supporting caregivers. It's not theory. It's lived experience turned into action, a closed-loop ecosystem designed to scale across communities, reduce crisis events, and strengthen families.
