In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a trauma treatment that is quietly changing outcomes for first responders who have tried everything else and still could not get relief: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — more commonly known as EMDR (Amazon Affiliate #AD). For a population that is often skeptical of traditional talk therapy, resistant to vulnerability in clinical settings, and carrying trauma that words alone struggle to reach, EMDR offers something different. This episode breaks down what EMDR actually is in plain language, why it works particularly well for first responders, and what the research and real-world experience are showing about its effectiveness for people who carry the kind of trauma the job produces.
Dr. Roger Solomon provides a comprehensive introduction to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), explaining the adaptive information processing model that underlies the treatment, walking through all eight phases of the protocol, and discussing how EMDR can be applied across a wide range of presentations—from single-incident trauma to complex trauma with dissociation. Dr. Solomon also addresses how clinicians can determine client readiness, navigate repressed memories, and leverage the generalization effect when working with patients who have extensive trauma histories.
Stephan offers webinars, retreats, videos, books, and spiritual counseling that make profound spiritual teachings and practices accessible to a global audience. He studied and practiced for many years with great masters in the nondual wisdom traditions of Zen, Dzogchen-Mahamudra, and Advaita Vedanta, and in 2001 he received Dharma transmission (authorization to teach) from Adyashanti. In this conversation, recorded to mark the release of his new book Infinite Awakening: A Guide to Nondual Wisdom and the Pathless Path (Shambhala, May 2026), Stephan and Michael explore awakening not as a destination but as an ongoing, infinite process. They move through trauma and trust, the limits of mindfulness, the role of intimate relationship as spiritual path, and how nondual realization speaks — or fails to speak — to the metacrisis we're all living through. The episode closes with a guided "rest and allow" meditation from Stephan.

Send us Fan MailA call can end, the scene can clear, and your body can still be on the call months later. We sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Stacy Raymond to talk about what actually works for first responder mental health when the job leaves you with nightmares, intrusive images, a short fuse, and sleep that never fully comes back. We also dig into why the “tough it out” culture quietly pushes people toward avoidance and alcohol instead of recovery.We get practical about EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and how it's used with police officers, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers, corrections, and veterans. Stacy breaks down bilateral stimulation methods like eye movements, handheld tappers, and alternating tones, and we clear up common misconceptions, including the fear that EMDR is “electroshock” or that you must retell every detail of your worst call. We also talk about the clinical guardrails that matter: a real intake, readiness, and careful screening for alcohol misuse or prescription medication abuse so the work stays safe and the gains stick.We zoom out to the bigger story: ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and why higher ACE scores can raise risk for operational stress injuries, plus how peer support and confidentiality shape whether people ever feel safe enough to get help. The takeaway we want you to hold onto is tactical: treat acute stress early, protect your sleep, and keep your brain mission-ready without carrying the call forever.

Can Eye Movements Rewire Trauma? The Therapy Changing How Clinicians Treat PTSD. Nearly 70% of U.S. adults report experiencing at least one traumatic event in their lifetime, and an estimated 13 million Americans are living with post-traumatic stress disorder in any given year, according to federal health data. As demand for trauma therapy rises nationwide, clinicians are increasingly turning to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, a structured psychotherapy designed to help patients process distressing memories in a controlled setting. During treatment, individuals briefly recall traumatic experiences while engaging in guided bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements, a process researchers say can help the brain refile memories so they are less emotionally charged. Endorsed by major health organizations and supported by dozens of clinical trials, EMDR has been shown to significantly reduce PTSD symptoms, with many single-incident trauma patients no longer meeting diagnostic criteria after several sessions.

What if the part of you that shuts down sexually — or the part that keeps reaching for porn — isn't a character flaw? What if it's trying to protect you?In this solo episode, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Todd Creager explains why forcing your way through sexual performance anxiety — or trying to stop compulsive sexual behavior through sheer willpower — almost always backfires. Drawing from two therapeutic approaches he uses in his practice, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Todd walks through what's actually happening beneath the surface when sex becomes complicated.At the center of this episode is a reframe most people have never heard: the parts of us that create sexual problems are not broken. They're protective. Todd breaks down two types of protective parts from the IFS model. "Managers" are the parts that preemptively shut things down — lowering libido, interfering with arousal, erection, ejaculation, or orgasm — to keep us from feeling shame or inadequacy. "Firefighters" are the parts that kick in when emotional pain gets too close, often using porn, affairs, or compulsive behavior to numb out or escape the fear of being truly seen.Todd shares an example from his own caseload: a client who began having an affair after significant failures at work. The affair wasn't about attraction — it was a firefighter response to the pain of feeling like a failure.Getting out of these patterns isn't about more effort or stricter rules. It starts with getting curious about those parts rather than fighting them. When you can approach your protective parts with compassion — understanding what they're guarding against — you create the conditions for what Todd calls self-led sexuality. That's when the grounded, confident part of you leads the experience rather than the scared or shamed parts.This isn't a quick fix. But it is a way to heal from the inside out — one Todd applies regularly in his work with both individuals and couples.If you're dealing with sexual performance anxiety, low sexual desire, compulsive sexual behavior, or intimacy avoidance in your relationship, this episode gives you a new frame for what's actually going on — and why treating it as a willpower problem keeps you stuck.To work with Todd or learn more, visit toddcreager.com.

A question I get often is: “How do I know if EMDR might be right for me?” In this episode, we break down what EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) actually is, who it can help, and what a session really looks like. Originally developed to treat PTSD, EMDR is now used to support people struggling with birth trauma, childhood experiences, anxiety, panic, phobias, depression, parenting triggers, and more. You do not need a formal diagnosis to benefit from it. Many parents come in simply feeling reactive, overwhelmed, or triggered in ways they do not fully understand. We discuss: • How trauma and intense experiences are stored in the brain • Why certain parenting moments can feel disproportionately triggering • What “reprocessing” actually means • The science behind bilateral stimulation and REM sleep • The phases of EMDR therapy • What safety and preparation look like before starting • What a session may involve, including eye movements, tapping, or tones • Why EMDR is about healing, not retraumatizing Want more?

Signs of Life with Bob Ginsberg The Intersection of Psychology and Mediumship in Grief Recovery Guests, Sirry Berndsen and Dr. Mo Hannah This episode of Signs of Life features a deep-dive conversation between host Bob Ginsberg, clinical psychologist Dr. Mo Hanna, and certified medium Siri. The discussion highlights the powerful synergy between psychological frameworks and spiritual mediumship, introducing their upcoming collaborative podcast and exploring innovative grief recovery techniques like Induced After-Death Communication (IADC). The Synergy of "The Psyche & the Soul" Dr. Mo Hanna and Siri are collaborating on a new podcast titled The Psyche & the Soul, born from their shared work at grief retreats. They argue that psychology and mediumship are "good bedfellows," where clinical expertise in trauma and grief complements the spiritual validation provided by evidential mediumship. While mainstream colleagues might have once frowned upon such a partnership, the guests emphasize that integrating the science of the afterlife with psycho-spiritual components is essential for raising a mourner's "frequency" and facilitating recovery. Evidential Mediumship as a Witness to Trauma Siri, who transitioned from atheism to mediumship over 25 years ago, views her role as more than just providing "readings." By moving through a client's "timeline," she can identify specific traumatizing moments in their past, providing a sense of recognition and witnessing that aids the healing process. This approach often brings through profound messages of forgiveness from the deceased, particularly in cases involving difficult relationships or complex deaths like murder-suicides. This "energy work" helps bypass the analytical mind to reach the heart center. Navigating the "Windows and Waves" of Grief A central theme of the discussion is the non-linear nature of mourning. Dr. Mo introduces the concept of "windows and waves"—where "windows" represent periods of clarity and connection, and "waves" are the inevitable returns of intense pain. Rather than viewing waves as a lack of progress, Dr. Mo suggests "embracing the wave" as a testament to the depth of love for the deceased. Host Bob Ginsberg emphasizes that while waves are a "given," having tools like journals, previous reading recordings, and IADC experiences provides the "mechanism" to dig oneself out of the valleys of despair. Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) Dr. Mo explains IADC, a technique refined by the late Dr. Allan Botkin. Adapted from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), IADC targets the "core of sadness" and fear. By integrating traumatic memories into the brain's background, the person's internal frequency shifts, making them naturally more receptive to spontaneous after-death communications. Practitioners find that when sadness is reduced toward zero, the likelihood of a profound connection increases significantly. The discussion underscores that grief recovery is a multi-dimensional process involving the physical, psychological, and spiritual. By combining the evidential "knowing" of mediumship with clinical tools like IADC and the support of in-person communities, the bereaved can transform their relationship with loss, moving from acute suffering to a sustained, loving connection with those on the other side. Bringing You Evidence of An Afterlife Since 2004 Forever Family Foundation is a global 100%volunteer non-profit, non-sectarian organization that supports the premise that life does not end with physical death, furthers the understanding of Afterlife Science and survival of consciousness, and offers support to the bereaved. Among the active members of the organization and the executive board are scientists, researchers, medical doctors, philosophers and educators who have devoted substantial parts of their careers to the investigation of the survival hypothesis - an existence beyond this physical world.
13. Guest: Henry Sokolski. Sokolski highlights the overlooked plutonium path to nuclear weapons in Iran, focusing on the Bushehr reactor's spent fuel rods. He explains that while uranium enrichment is publicly monitored, reprocessing these rods could yield hundreds of bombs. He argues that current inspections fail to provide a "timely warning" for such diversions. 131700 SOUTH HOLLAND
In this episode of The Addicted Mind, Duane Osterlind talks with Noel Rihm and Bill Brady, founders of Kaleidoscope. Both Noel and Bill spent decades as high-functioning professionals—Noel in healthcare leadership and Bill as a high-powered Wall Street lawyer—while battling severe, life-threatening alcoholism.After years of being labeled "treatment resistant" by traditional rehabs, they discovered that the problem wasn't their lack of willpower; it was that the root cause—unprocessed trauma—had never been addressed. They discuss how EMDR, psychedelic-assisted therapy, and a "bespoke" approach to healing allowed them to move from "white-knuckling" sobriety to living as "unburdened souls."Guests:Noel RihmA veteran of the healthcare industry for over 25 years, Noel struggled with alcoholism for three decades. Despite cumulative years in residential treatment and AA, she found true liberation through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which resolved the trauma symptoms that had driven her addiction for 30 years in just six sessions.Bill BradyBill spent 25 years in Wall Street finance and private equity. To the outside world, he was "killing it," but internally, he was consuming up to two liters of vodka a day. After traditional treatments failed and hope was gone, Bill found a "miracle" through psychedelic therapy, which allowed him to forgive himself and reconnect with his life.Key Discussion Points1. The Myth of the "Treatment Resistant" AddictThe Problem: Traditional rehab often treats the habit without addressing the pain driving it.The Reality: If treatment isn't working, it is often a failure of the protocol, not the patient.2. Redefining TraumaThe Definition: Trauma is not what happened to you; it is how your nervous system responds to what happened.The "Paper Cut" Effect: Small, recurring "little T" traumas—like a dismissive remark in childhood—can create a false narrative of unworthiness that persists for decades.3. The Kaleidoscope Model: The Arc of HealingStabilization: Getting the body and mind regulated.Preparation: Gentle, trauma-informed work to prepare the soul for a shift.The Shift: Utilizing tools like EMDR, psychedelic therapy, or somatic processing to "unhook" from the trauma.Integration: The most critical phase—having a "Sherpa" (permanent coach) to help apply insights to daily life.4. The "Sherpa" and Family HealingThe Sherpa Model: Unlike traditional rehab where the relationship ends at discharge, Kaleidoscope provides a permanent guide to help navigate the "scavenger hunt" of resources in the local community.Healing the System: In the final week of treatment, spouses and significant others are invited to undergo their own healing, ensuring the addict doesn't return to a toxic or unhealed home environment.Memorable Quotes"From the outside, it looked like I was killing it. From the inside, it looked like I was killing myself." — Bill Brady"Unprocessed trauma is like a keg of dynamite waiting to go off. I knew how to address my trauma: Two liters of vodka reliably would get me into a blackout." — Noel Rihm"It's not about not drinking. It's about not wanting to." — Bill BradyResources MentionedKaleidoscope:Innovation Lab: Kaleidoscope's research-driven facility in Cabo, focused on clinical rigor and tracking healing outcomes.Key Therapies: EMDR, Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, and Somatic Processing.Links to Guests Below:LinkedIn/Noel RihmLinkedIn/Bill BradyKaleidoscope VenturesSmashed: Sober (with a Twist)Contact The Addicted Mind:Website: theaddictedmind.comFollow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.

It has been estimated that 1 in 5 children and adolescents suffer from chronic pain and it can seriously interfere with their life. Pain Reprocessing Therapy is an evidence based approach that has been proven effective for chronic pain. Daniella Deutsch, LCSW, Penina Zilberberg, PhD and Paulina Soble, LCSW have just published The Pain Reprocessing Therapy Workbook for Teens: Rewire Your Brain To Find Relief From Chronic Pain. In this interview I talk with Penina Zilberberg, PhD and Paulina Soble, LCSW about pain reprocessing and how to help teens turn the volume down on the pain through a carefully structured sequence of guided exercises. Teen learn to be pain detectives and ultimately to develop a different relationship to the pain and respond differently to it. I found their book very helpful and I rather liked their use of optical illusions to explain how the brain can get things wrong and the power of belief illustrated by a London construction worker. For more information about pain reprocessing, their website contains a lot of useful material. https://www.painreprocessingtherapy.com/
Got some sh!t to say?This week, Marko and Steve sit down with Dr. Thomas Whitfield (@drthomaswhitfield) to unpack one of the most talked-about trauma therapies right now: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Dr. Whitfield breaks down what EMDR actually is, how it works in real time, and why it's especially impactful for LGBTQ+ patients navigating everything from identity-based trauma to rejection, internalized shame, and the long tail of growing up feeling unsafe to be fully themselves. The conversation demystifies the process—what a session feels like, whether you have to relive painful memories, and why healing doesn't mean forgetting, but finally being able to move forward without the emotional weight.To wrap things up, Dr. Thomas Whitfield joins the guys to tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.-Follow Dr. Thomas Whitfield:CBT/EMDR Therapy Associates of Manhattan | Manhattan Therapists for EMDR and CBTDr. Thomas Whitfield's Newsletter | Sign Up HereSupport the showSh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.

In this episode of Decouple, Chris Keefer is joined once again by Michael Seely of the Atomic Blender to explore nuclear fuel reprocessing and the promise of unlocking vastly more energy from existing nuclear waste. We deep dive how processes like PUREX attempt to separate and reuse valuable materials like uranium and plutonium. Using real-world examples such as France's La Hague reprocessing plant and the EBR-2 sodium fast reactor experiment, the episode situates reprocessing within its historical roots in perceptions of uranium scarcity and energy security.While reprocessing is technically impressive, it is complex, expensive, and delivers only modest gains when used with today's reactor fleet. Keefer and Seely unpack why issues like fuel degradation, handling challenges, and economics limit its impact, and what would need to change, such as the deployment of economic fast reactors, for reprocessing to live up to is most seductive narratives.

the importance of early autism screening tools, pediatric evaluations, and timely intervention. They also address common autism myths and misconceptions, including the belief that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) cannot improve. Dr. Lyons discusses how early intervention programs can significantly improve outcomes. Evidence-based therapies such as ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) and PRT (Pivotal Response Treatment) are explored as powerful tools to enhance communication skills, social development, and adaptive behavior. The conversation also highlights underlying health factors like gut health, sleep disorders, and nutritional deficiencies that may impact autism symptoms. Dr. Theresa Lyons and Dr. Foojan explore the complexity of autism spectrum disorder, emphasizing that autism is not a one-size-fits-all condition. They discuss co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, anxiety disorders, and dyslexia, and how overlapping symptoms can complicate diagnosis and treatment. Topics like high-functioning autism, masking behaviors, and emotional meltdowns at home are also examined, encouraging parents to trust their instincts regardless of their child's external presentation. The episode sheds light on the intense stress parents face during autism meltdowns, including emotional exhaustion and physical strain. Dr. Lyons shares research indicating that parents of children with autism may have a 20–30% higher risk of PTSD due to chronic stress. She offers practical emotional regulation strategies for parents and explains how maintaining calm during meltdowns can help de-escalate challenging situations. The discussion also explores the emotional toll of raising a child with autism, including feelings of guilt, isolation, and overwhelm—especially in public settings. They talk about coping strategies, social withdrawal, and the impact on siblings, who may also experience increased stress or trauma. A groundbreaking clinical trial using EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is discussed, showing promising results in reducing PTSD symptoms in parents while improving emotional regulation in children. Finally, the episode focuses on empowering autism families through therapy, communication strategies, and strong emotional support systems. Dr. Lyons emphasizes teaching independence, fostering autonomy, and supporting both parents and siblings. The role of siblings in long-term caregiving, challenges faced by non-speaking individuals with autism, and the importance of building self-esteem are all addressed. Dr. Foojan highlights the need for parents to release guilt and make confident, informed decisions while accessing the right autism resources and support networks.

Welcome to a new season of the First Case podcast - Sterile Processing 101! We're kicking off the season with a conversation that sets the foundation for the entire series and challenges a big misconception:
In this episode, we chat with Andy Dennan, CEO of Halo Minerals to explore the story behind their Playa Verde copper project in Chile and what sets it apart in today's evolving mining landscape. We start with an overview of Halo Minerals and what drew the team to Playa Verde, before diving into why this tailings project could represent a more sustainable approach to copper development. Andy shares insights on the environmental advantages, as well as the key challenges the project faces as it moves forward. We also discuss the growing importance of copper in the global energy transition, and how projects like Playa Verde fit into the broader conversation around critical minerals, supply chains, and resource security. Finally, we touch on Chile's role as a mining jurisdiction, common pitfalls around permitting and community engagement, Halo's recent IPO in London, and what success looks like for the next 12 months. KEY TAKEAWAYS Halo Minerals focuses on ESG metals by reprocessing surface-accumulated legacy mining waste, effectively turning environmental liabilities into critical resource assets. Beyond copper recovery, the Playa Verde project includes a commitment to reduce arsenic concentrations to 47 parts per million or less, eventually returning the beach to the local community for recreational use. With copper demand driven by AI data centres, renewable energy, and EVs, projects in stable jurisdictions like Chile are becoming essential for global supply chain security. By processing pre-crushed tailings at the surface rather than traditional hard-rock mining, the project avoids the high energy costs, blasting, and long lead times associated with greenfield developments. BEST MOMENTS "It feels a lot less lonely being in the mining industry than the oil and gas industry... in the wake of that sort of ESG movement, people were really focused on the footprint globally of these heavy industries." "We get to make money while doing good for the world or operating with a lower environmental footprint than new greenfield mines." "We're sort of one supply disruption away from $20,000 a ton copper price." "The value of a copper deposit today is more weighted by where it is and who it can be sold to without a 50% penalty... jurisdictions with free trade agreements with the US, like Chile, have become the most valuable real estate in the mining world."

After discovering a partner's affair, many people ask the same question: Am I going crazy? You love this person deeply — and part of you wants to walk out the door. That contradiction isn't a sign something is wrong with you. It's what happens when betrayal creates an internal war between competing parts of who you are.In this solo episode, Todd Creager breaks down what he calls the Civil War of Betrayal — and why both the person who was cheated on and the person who cheated experience this painful internal conflict. Using the framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Todd explains the three distinct inner parts that get activated in the aftermath of infidelity: the managers (the part obsessively checking phones, gathering evidence, trying to stay in control), the firefighters (the part that acts out in anger, revenge, or impulsive decisions to escape the pain), and the exiles (the deep wound underneath it all — often tied to old feelings of abandonment that this betrayal has brought back to the surface).Todd also introduces what IFS calls the Self — that part of you that holds the capacity for compassion, clarity, curiosity, and calm. When the Self leads, something different becomes possible: instead of reacting from your most wounded or most angry place, you get curious. You start to ask what part of me is doing this right now? And that question changes everything.Drawing from a real couple he worked with — he calls them John and Lucy — Todd walks through how IFS combined with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helped them move from blame and reactivity to genuine understanding. Their relationship didn't go back to what it was before. In some ways, it became deeper than it had ever been.If you or your partner are somewhere in the middle of this — loving each other and hurting each other at the same time — this episode gives you a language for what's actually happening inside. And a starting point for something better.When you're ready to go further, check out Todd's Infidelity First Aid Kit — a resource he created specifically for couples in the early, most disorienting stages of betrayal recovery. https://www.toddcreagertraining.com/infidelity-first-aid If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who could benefit and leave a review.

Welcome to Episode 447 of Inner Voice: A Heartfelt Chat, with Dr. Foojan, featuring special guest Dr. Philip Manfield, Ph.D., the creator of the revolutionary Flash Technique for trauma therapy. In this powerful podcast episode, Dr. Foojan and Dr. Manfield explore how this groundbreaking, pain-free alternative to EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is transforming the way clinicians treat PTSD, trauma, anxiety, and phobias. Developed in 2016 as part of EMDR preparation, the Flash Technique allows individuals to process deeply disturbing memories without directly reliving them, making it ideal for clients who feel overwhelmed or resistant to traditional trauma therapy. Dr. Manfield shares how his work builds on the foundations of Dr. Francine Shapiro, the founder of EMDR, along with insights from Christina Kanowski's trauma-focused adaptations. Unlike traditional EMDR therapy, which requires direct engagement with painful memories, the Flash Technique uses brief, subconscious exposure paired with positive focus and intentional distraction, enabling the brain to process trauma safely and effectively. Backed by over 24 peer-reviewed research studies and adopted worldwide, this evidence-based approach has already trained more than 24,000 clinicians across 11+ countries. In this episode, you'll discover: How the Flash Technique helps treat severe trauma and PTSD without emotional overwhelm Why phobia treatment improves when exposure happens outside conscious awareness The neuroscience behind trauma healing, including fear response, memory reconsolidation, and the role of the prefrontal cortex How eye movements, blinking, and distraction techniques accelerate subconscious trauma processing Real-world success stories, including large-scale trauma treatment in Ethiopia, Turkey, and beyond If you're searching for effective trauma therapy, EMDR alternatives, PTSD healing methods, or cutting-edge psychological techniques, this episode offers powerful insights into the future of mental health and emotional healing.#MentalHealth #Wellness #Relationship #PersonalGrowth #selfimprovement
EMDR is everywhere — but do you know what's actually helpful? Or if it is at all? EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has become one of the most talked-about trauma treatments around. But most people — and, honestly, many therapists — reduce it to one image: a finger waving in someone's face. That shorthand is costing people clarity about what's actually working. In this episode, Justin Sunseri breaks down what EMDR really is beyond the eye movements, what the research actually says about its effectiveness, and — more importantly — what the science says is doing the heavy lifting when it works. In this episode: The 8-phase structure of EMDR (and where bilateral stimulation actually shows up) What happens when you compare EMDR to other trauma therapies 4 common factors that explain most of therapy's results — across every modality What dismantling studies reveal about eye movements specifically The "Toe Curling" thought experiment that puts it all in perspective Why the research has real weaknesses — and what that means for you What to actually look for in a therapist or healing approach

Gabby also asks Dana about the surge of celebrity interest in EMDR, from Lady Gaga to Sandra Bullock and Prince Harry, and why Dana welcomes their openness and feedback. Throughout the episode, Dana addresses common misconceptions and provides a realistic, compassionate overview of what EMDR can genuinely help with. This episode offers a clear, human explanation of a therapy that helps people heal not just by understanding their past, but by finally processing it.

The word “inheritance” brings to mind images of a financial legacy, but Reesie Sims suggests another meaning: an inheritance of trauma that ancestors may have left behind. The director of therapeutic services at Volare, Reesie explains why she considers a client's emotional inheritances in this conversation with hosts Bridgette Stumpf and Lindsey Silverberg. “The tree remembers what the ax forgets,” she says. “Trauma either begins a story in a person, or it continues a story in a person.”Traumatic “inheritances” can lie deep in a person's genetic make-up, she says: “All of your pregnant grandma's experiences, including those that could have been traumatic, undoubtedly had an impact and influence on the expression of genes that were developed for you, for your mom, and for you in the womb.” She encourages clients to investigate their family's emotional history to identify whose trauma stories they might be carrying. “I think this type of self-awareness will encourage self-betterment, and it allows you to become an active writer in your trauma story. And I think that can lead to a feeling of agency.”Reesie also discusses emerging trauma treatment approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, and the flash technique. Tune in for her insights about why such modalities should always be done with skilled supervision and why she's always thinking about a client's culture when developing different tools.

Unlocking the Subconscious with EMDR: "It's not just eye movement that we now know allows us to get into that subconscious in that way. It's any bilateral stimulation, both sides of the body." - Anita RitcheyI sit down with returning guest Anita Ritchey, MA, LPCC, for a powerful conversation about how our core beliefs shape our emotional health and daily lives.

We explore how these often subconscious beliefs impact behavior, relationships, and self-worth well into adulthood.We talk about the importance of examining and challenging longstanding beliefs, especially when they no longer serve us. Anita explains how therapy, including approaches like EMDR, can help us uncover, process, and even rewire these deep-seated patterns—offering hope and practical insight for anyone looking to grow, heal, and understand themselves better.Whether you're just starting to think about your own core beliefs or you're well along that journey, this episode is full of relatable stories, clinical wisdom, and a reminder of the power of self-awareness.

Most of our core beliefs are formed in childhood—often before the age of 7—through what we're taught, what we observe, and how we interpret our experiences. These beliefs get “written into” our subconscious and influence adult relationships, work, and self-worth.Awareness leads to growth. Re-examining those early beliefs isn't just about fixing problems; it's about ongoing self-discovery. Whether things are going “fine” or you're feeling stuck, proactively reflecting on core beliefs (with a counselor or through journaling) helps you identify outdated narratives and sparks personal growth.There are effective tools for change. Techniques like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help address distress from past traumas and beliefs that hold us back. Anita shared how EMDR facilitates healing by unlocking and reprocessing those deeply stored memories—something an AI chatbot just can't replicate.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Send us a textIn this special mental health episode of The Day's Grimm, hosts Brian Michael Day and Thomas Grimm welcome back Licensed Clinical Social Worker Lori Riley of Blue Skies Mindfulness to take a deep dive into EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy! Brian shares his personal journey of finally committing to therapy and his initial, intense experience with the first stages of EMDR, including the crucial process of building a mental "safe space".Lori Riley, LCSW, breaks down everything you need to know about this powerful trauma treatment modality:What is EMDR? Defining Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as psychotherapy that helps heal emotional distress from disturbing life experiences by using bilateral stimulation.Bilateral Stimulation: Discussing the different tools used for bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, the "buzzies" (vibrating eggs), or tapping.The Safe Space & Container Technique: Explaining the importance of building a mental "safe space" as a pausing mechanism during sessions, and the "container" technique for temporarily putting away triggering thoughts, people, or nightmares.Managing Intensity: Lori explains that EMDR can be intense and draining, and emphasizes the need for a therapist to allow time for processing after each session, rather than immediately ending the appointment.Coping Skills: Discussing practical, in-the-moment coping skills like grounding (focusing on the tangible environment) to manage fear-driven anxiety cycles and developing a personal mantra to combat intrusive thoughts.The History & Stigma of EMDR: Lori recounts how EMDR was once dismissed by professors as a "fallacy" in the early 2000s and why the training is so intensive.Overcoming Barriers to Therapy: The hosts and guest discuss the hurdles of seeking help, such as embarrassment, the "manly man" complex, and the frustration of having to "shop around" to find the right therapist.If you're curious about EMDR, seeking therapy, or looking for new mental health coping skills, this episode is a must-watch!GUEST INFO Lori Riley, LCSW Blue Skies Mindfulness https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/lori-riley-evansville-in/290090TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Episode Start & Guest Intro (Lori Riley, LCSW) 03:13 - Lori's Practice: Blue Skies Mindfulness 03:34 - What is "Grounding"? 05:56 - Brian's Therapy Journey & A Therapist Crying 07:09 - Introduction to EMDR Therapy 08:30 - Building a Mental "Safe Space" 13:17 - The Container Technique & Four Square Breathing 17:35 - How EMDR was viewed 20 Years Ago (A "Fallacy") 26:42 - Official Definition of EMDR 35:20 - The Power of a Mantra/Saying to Combat Anxiety 1:05:20 - Overcoming Barriers to Seeking Therapy (Embarrassment, Manliness) #EMDR #EMDRTherapy #MentalHealth #TraumaTherapy #TheDaysGrimm #LoriRileyLCSW #SafeSpace #AnxietyRelief #CopingSkills #GroundingTechnique #Therap[The Days Grimm Podcast Links]- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDaysGrimm- Our link tree: linktr.ee/Thedaysgrimm- GoFundMe account for The Days Grimm: https://gofund.me/02527e7c [The Days Grimm is brought to you by]Sadness & ADHD (non-medicated)
EMDR: A 21st-Century Approach to Trauma – AI and Plagiarism in Counselling Training In Episode 356 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 the sensitive topic of lying in therapy, examining why clients may lie or conceal information through a trauma-informed perspective and how therapists can respond with compassion. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Andrew Kidd about EMDR therapy - what it is, how it works, and why it's considered a cutting-edge 21st-century therapeutic intervention. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss the rising concern of AI and plagiarism in counselling training, including guidance for ethical use and how assessment may evolve. Lying in Therapy [starts at 03:11 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken examine lying in therapy, unpacking the nuances behind client dishonesty and offering guidance on how therapists can navigate concealment with empathy. Key points discussed include: Lying in therapy is common and often rooted in past trauma or a need to protect the self. Concealment may serve as a survival mechanism shaped by earlier life experiences. Incongruence between a client's words and behaviours can be gently explored without judgement. Strong therapeutic relationships and non-judgemental approaches create safety for honesty to emerge. Therapists are often not adept at detecting lies - emphasis should be placed on understanding behaviour rather than catching deception. Dishonesty can signal areas of deep pain; responding with curiosity rather than confrontation is key. EMDR: A 21st-Century Approach to Trauma [starts at 23:40 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Andrew Kidd, BACP senior accredited counsellor and EMDR Europe accredited practitioner, about EMDR as a powerful method for trauma reprocessing. Key points from this conversation include: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) originated in 1987 and integrates neurobiological and relational approaches. It is not a talk therapy but an experiential, highly structured method using bilateral stimulation (e.g. eye movements). The eight-phase protocol includes history taking, preparation, activation, desensitisation, installation, body scan, closure, and re-evaluation. EMDR enables clients to process traumatic memories without needing to disclose every detail to the therapist. Training is intensive and requires therapists to already be accredited and trauma-informed. Andrew will be offering an EMDR overview lecture inside the Counsellor CPD Library soon. EMDR Association UK AI and Plagiarism in Counselling Training [starts at 52:34 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken discuss the impact of AI tools like ChatGPT on assignment writing and how to ethically and responsibly integrate technology into counselling education. Key points include: Assignments must be students' own work - AI-generated content must be clearly acknowledged and referenced. AI can be used as a planning or brainstorming tool, not as a substitute for personal reflection or lived experience. Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) guidance outlines AI use as malpractice if not transparently declared. Reflective and experiential elements of counselling training cannot be replicated by AI. Tutors are encouraged to explore diverse assessment methods beyond written essays to evaluate learning authentically. Academic correspondent Sarah Henry shares how relational, discussion-based, and observational assessment can complement or replace traditional formats.

Teens today live at the intersection of real mental health risks and viral misused language like gaslighting, narcissism, and DID. On this episode of The Brainy Moms podcast, Dr. Amy sat down with children's therapist Stacy Schaffer to unpack how parents can support mental health without turning every rough patch into a diagnosis. Stacy shares the story behind her new book and the core idea that guides her work: integrate tough histories into practical, present-day tools so kids feel seen, safe, and capable.We dig into the messy middle of modern childhood—where TikTok trends meet group-chat drama and where grooming, exclusion, and “subtle” cruelty often fly under the bullying radar. Stacy offers concrete steps for delaying social platforms, keeping an open pulse on online connections, and having frank, age-appropriate talks about consent, safety, and the law. We also explore why framing therapy as a gift changes everything, and how to invite teens into the process so they feel respected rather than “sent.”A big theme is language. Words like trauma, gaslighting, narcissist, and DID carry weight and meaning; when they get stretched to cover discomfort or disagreement, everyone loses clarity. Stacy walks us through what those terms actually mean, when they apply, and how to teach kids a simple 1–10 scale that builds perspective without dismissing pain. We also clarify dissociation versus dissociative identity disorder and offer scripts that keep compassion high while holding responsibility steady: “You're in charge of all your parts.”Along the way, we talk about modeling healthy conflict at home, building emotion regulation, and helping kids collect “data” from hard moments they survived. If you've wondered how to respond when your teen throws out a buzzword, how to know when it's time for counseling, or how to keep kids safer online, this conversation delivers calm, clear guidance you can use today.About Stacy SchafferStacy Schaffer is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty years of experience helping children, teens, and young adults navigate emotional and behavioral challenges.
