Podcasts about Reprocessing

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.

In this deeply vulnerable episode of Heal With Kat, Kat invites trauma specialist and EMDR therapist Jenny Gennaro into an honest, soul-level conversation about the healing power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma integration, and the reclamation of the body after years of spiritual and emotional disconnection.Kat shares her personal journey of returning to her body after years of living in survival mode, exploring how childhood emotional neglect, abandonment wounds, and sexual trauma shaped her intuitive abilities and coping mechanisms. Together, she and Jenny unpack how trauma fragments the nervous system — and how healing can bring us home to our true, embodied selves.Themes:What EMDR actually is — and how it helps rewire the brain to release the emotional charge of traumatic memoriesHow childhood emotional neglect and attachment wounds can create disconnection from the body and fuel hypervigilance mistaken for intuitionWhy many intuitives and empaths develop their “gifts” as tools of survival, and how to evolve them into tools of serviceThe connection between trauma, autoimmune conditions, and chronic body symptomsKat's personal EMDR journey — including what resurfaced, how she processed it, and the profound identity shift that followedHow psilocybin (mushrooms) can be used intentionally and safely within a therapeutic EMDR container to lower defenses and deepen emotional accessThe difference between complex trauma and single-event trauma, and why integration can feel like an identity crisisWhat it means to re-stitch your head back to your body and reclaim the right to feel safe, grounded, and presentHow reclaiming your nervous system is a radical act of social justice and spiritual resistanceConnect with Kat:

Have you been told to "get over" your past, only to feel like your body holds a different story?   In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities, Dr. Adriana Popescu explores why traditional talk therapy and a "mindset-only" approach often fall short in healing trauma. She's joined by Carla Shohet, a psychologist with 25 years of experience, and together they dive into the crucial shift from cognitive-based talk therapy to body-based somatic practices for healing trauma. Carla shares her personal journey of discovering she was carrying unaddressed trauma from narcissistic abuse, and how her professional training in psychology hadn't prepared her to deal with the physiological imprint of trauma. This realization led her to develop her integrative approach, which focuses on reconnecting with the body and restoring nervous system health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck on their healing path and seeking a new, more profound way forward.   In this episode: Carla's road to becoming an integrative trauma psychologist, nervous system health practitioner, and creator of the THANARA Healing Program and the NTN Pathway method. Trauma lives in the body, not just the mind, and you can't truly separate psychology from physiology. The conventional approach of talk therapy for trauma can sometimes leave individuals feeling more traumatized because it doesn't address the energy held in the body. The education about the nervous system as our "operating system" should be taught from a young age because it is foundational to both mental and physical well-being. Chronic stress and unprocessed trauma can make you physically ill, leading to a "worn-out nervous system" and conditions like IBS, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and other chronic pain. The "NTN Pathway" stands for "Now, Then, Next" and is Carla's sequenced model for healing, which prioritizes building nervous system capacity before engaging in trauma therapies. Trauma-informed practices are crucial, as powerful healing modalities like yoga, meditation, and even EMDR can be retraumatizing if done without an understanding of the nervous system and a client's capacity.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Carla's Website: https://carlashohet.com/ Carla's Program: THANARA Healing Program: https://carlashohet.com/thanara-waitlist Carla's Podcast: Time to Unlearn: https://timetounlearnpodcast.com/ Healing Modalities: IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Feldenkrais, Brainspotting, Hypnotherapy, TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Polyvagal Theory Mentioned Experts: Dan Siegel, Deb Dana   About Carla: Carla Shohet is an Integrative Trauma Psychologist, nervous system health practitioner, and the creator of the THANARA healing program and the NTN Pathway Method. With a 25-year background in psychology and somatic therapy, Carla helps individuals and professionals heal from complex trauma, chronic pain, and narcissistic abuse by reconnecting to safety in the body and restoring nervous system health. Her work blends cutting-edge neuroscience with deeply compassionate, body-based practices, drawing from modalities like IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Feldenkrais, Brainspotting, Hypnotherapy, and more. Carla also hosts the podcast Time to Unlearn, where she shares education, hope, and healing with a global audience.   “Trauma can be something really small...

If you've always managed just fine but suddenly feel like everything is falling apart in your 40s, the problem might not be perimenopause alone it could be revealing ADHD that's been masked your entire life.This conversation with therapist Mandi Dixon revealed a critical connection between ADHD and perimenopause that's leaving countless women struggling without answers. Dixon's work focuses on the intersection of neurodivergence and hormonal changes, addressing why so many women receive their first ADHD diagnosis during midlife transitions.The discussion explored how ADHD in girls and women presents differently than in boys - with internal hyperactivity like daydreaming and anxiety rather than external disruption. This leads to years of successful masking, where women learn to follow rules and appear organized while struggling internally. The hormonal support of estrogen helps maintain these coping mechanisms until perimenopause strips away that scaffolding.Dixon introduced the concept of "ugly perimenopause" - the severe mental health struggles that go beyond typical mood changes and require immediate attention. She emphasized that the highest suicide rates in women occur between ages 46-54, making this a critical period for intervention and support.The conversation highlighted how neurodivergent women experience more intense perimenopause symptoms due to nervous system sensitivity. Sensory overload becomes overwhelming - from cooking exhaust fans to children's noise levels. Rejection sensitive dysphoria, already challenging for ADHD individuals, intensifies with hormonal fluctuations, making criticism feel devastating.Dixon's therapeutic approach combines traditional counseling with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, which uses bilateral stimulation to help reprocess trauma. This technique proves particularly effective for both mental health recovery and physical conditions like pelvic pain where trauma responses interfere with healing.The discussion addressed the "menno divorce" phenomenon, with Dixon explaining that divorce often results from pre-existing relationship issues becoming intolerable once women stop accommodating poor treatment. Perimenopause doesn't cause problems but reveals them, giving women clarity about what they will and won't accept.Dixon stressed that neurodivergent women require specialized menopause care, describing them as "orchids" who need delicate handling during hormone therapy. The combination of hormonal treatment with mental health support often provides the best outcomes, with some women needing long-term antidepressant therapy as a "safety net" alongside hormone replacement.Highlights:Why ADHD gets missed in girls due to internal vs. external symptoms.The "ugly perimenopause" requiring immediate mental health intervention.Sensory overload and rejection sensitivity intensifying with hormone changes.EMDR therapy for trauma processing and pelvic pain recovery.How menopause empowerment reveals relationship problems rather than causing them.Neurodivergent women needing specialist hormone care and patience with treatment.The importance of combining hormone therapy with mental health support.Suicide risk peaks between ages 46-54 in women.If this episode helped you understand the ADHD-perimenopause connection, help other women find this conversation by subscribing to the channel and leaving a review on Apple Podcasts.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a recognized and effective treatment for postpartum PTSD, particularly when related to a traumatic birth experience. EMDR helps individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the associated distress, allowing for a more adaptive way of remembering the event. On Aug 4, 2025, a new publication was released in AJOG pertaining to this therapy. What's this latest randomized controlled trial data saying? Listen in for details.     1.

Dan Vukelich, President of the Association of Medical Device Reprocessors, has spent 25 years campaigning and working to encourage reuse and remanufacturing of ‘single use' medical devices, first in the USA and now in Europe and other countries. To give you a feel for the scale of this, in 2024, over 55 million single-use devices were reprocessed and reused across 17 countries in Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. By doing that, hospitals saved the equivalent of over USD 450 million. The interest in reprocessing and reuse really took off during the pandemic, and since then, supply chain disruption has become more of an ongoing risk for hospitals. The Association of Medical Device Reprocessors (AMDR) was founded in 1999. It supports its members around regulation, legislation, and standard-setting, so hospitals and healthcare providers can increase quality, reduce cost, cut waste, lower emissions, and strengthen their supply chains. Dan explains what reprocessing includes and talks us through the categories of devices that are currently reprocessed and remanufactured. He describes how the medical sector has shifted from high-quality materials that could be easily sanitised and reused, to a situation where even very complex and expensive devices are designed to be disposed of after just one use, wasting finite and critical materials. We talk about the ethical and legal issues of reprocessing, and the role of regulations and standardization. Dan helps us understand the challenges for hospitals and how the shift to single-use has added a lot of extra costs to the health system and impacts all of us, either directly or as taxpayers. Dan also points to an important long-term trend, as more and more equipment manufacturers get involved, rather than pushing back on reuse.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of addiction, opioid use (including fentanyl), complex trauma, intergenerational trauma, medical neglect, and the death of a child.Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome guest Liz Rezanson, a psychotherapist and social worker who works with the caregivers of children with disabilities, largely in her community of Vernon, BC. Liz believes in the healing power of connection and integrates mind-body attunement therapy, EMDR, EFT, hypnosis, and psychedelic-assisted therapy into her practice using a trauma-informed approach. Liz shares her deeply moving personal and professional journey through raising a daughter with catastrophic epilepsy and her oldest daughter Amy's eventual struggle with opioid addiction, including fentanyl use, and repeated treatment attempts that led to a tragic end.   Liz's story highlights the need for a more compassionate and effective approach to addiction recovery, one that acknowledges the role of attachment, emotional regulation, and support. She, Truth, and Dr. T discuss how psychedelic-assisted therapy, specifically with medicines like ibogaine and MDMA, can offer a powerful opportunity ot desensitize past trauma and support emotional integration. Liz emphasizes that healing doesn't happen through medicine alone, but through the presence of a trained and emotionally regulated facilitator and through a focus on coregulation and relational attunement. Dr. T and Truth Fairy agree with Liz in stating that her daughter Amy's journey illustrates the high stakes and systemic failures in addiction treatment, particularly when treatment centres are ill-equipped to meet clients with compassion and flexibility. Liz emphasizes that healing developmental trauma requires practitioners to develop their own capacity for emotional presence through somatic awareness and self-regulation. Her story is a powerful call to reshape psychedelic integration therapy and addiction treatment by centring safety, right-brain healing, and the profound importance of human connection.“Just that need to be so in tune or attuned to our clients, and especially in the psychedelic field. Yeah. You're doing sometimes long sits, and you have to be able to stay with it and be able to support, and I always say I'm not… I hate the term healer. I think I'm not a healer. I'm literally the guide in this process, whether it be we use something like eMDR or somatic or IFS, whatever, psychedelic, whatever we're using. I'm just the guide in the process. I'm just the person who shows you how to reconnect with yourself, right?” - Liz Rezanson About Liz Rezanson, Psychotherapist, BCYC, MACP, CCC, RSW:Liz has called Vernon home for the past 30 years, and for over two decades, she has had the privilege of working with individuals and families in that community. Her background includes more than 20 years supporting families, and 11 years working closely with children with diverse abilities and their caregivers.At the heart of her work is a belief in the healing power of connection—both with ourselves and with those closest to us. Liz works alongside my clients with compassion, curiosity, and respect, helping them move toward greater authenticity, emotional safety, and meaningful change. True connection takes courage, vulnerability, and the right kind of support.

Indigo Stray Conger has been a therapist since 2008 and has completed over a decade of therapeutic training. She is one of less than ten AASECT certified sex therapists at a supervisory level in the state of Colorado.During our conversation, we delve into what somatic psychotherapy entails and also the role of EMDR in trauma healing, and the challenges of intimacy in relationships.As we discuss, trauma can turn up in relationships in many forms can impact on both the psychological and physical barriers to intimacy, which can prevent singles and couples from fully exploring the many ways to experience sexual pleasure.EMDR is a tool I have used myself to try and overcome phobias and also behaviours that don't serve me well. If you're unfamiliar with the technique, EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is most commonly used to treat PTSD, but now is used to solve a range of issues. It involves recalling the traumatic episode, or the particular fear, and then through specific eye movements and some other type of stimulation (talking, for example), the brain reprocesses the memory and reduces its significance in your mind. It may sound woo-woo, but it's actually not and very quickly can help in situations where the traumatic episode is quite specific (at least, that was my own experience).We also touch on the importance of consent, proper sex eduction and how sexual orientations such as asexuality and demisexuality are gaining recognition.You can find Indigo here:https://milehighpsychotherapy.com/meet-the-therapistsIf you'd like access to exclusive features like personal posts, my new 32 page booklet, Sex Toys & Supplements for Thriving in Later Life, my private chat room, direct messaging for your burning questions, and Substack Live sessions with expert guests, consider becoming a paid subscriber!

What if the real reason you're stuck isn't mindset—but a memory your body hasn't let go of? In this powerful episode, Amy chats with Laurel Wiers, founder of Optimal Outcome, about how unresolved trauma (even the “small stuff”) shows up in our work, relationships, and leadership. Laurel shares how high achievers unknowingly carry emotional weight that holds them back—and how healing doesn't have to take years. From anxiety and burnout to breakthrough and peace... this one's a game-changer.   Additional Resources: Connect with Laurel on LinkedIn Learn more about Laurel's work Sign Up for the Conscious Habit Newsletter Connect with Amy on LinkedIn Learn more about Conscious Habit Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network    Key Takeaways: Trauma isn't always “big”—seemingly small experiences can deeply affect our behavior and identity. Traditional talk therapy may not fully resolve trauma stored in the body; modalities like ART and EMDR help reprocess memories more effectively. High achievers often mask unresolved pain with performance, leading to burnout and emotional disconnection. Reprocessing traumatic memories can shift core beliefs and allow leaders to operate from a place of wholeness.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing was only created in the late 20th century, but it's since established itself as a popular and increasingly used form of therapy. EMDR is especially recommended for children and adults dealing with trauma from physical or psychological violence, such as sexual abuse. It was discovered relatively recently in 1987, but that doesn't mean it's an alternative treatment; it's a clinically proven approach. According to charity PTSD UK: “One study showed up to 90% of single-trauma victims no longer have PTSD after only 3 90-minute sessions.” How does it work? How was it discovered?

A path to healing is always possible, says Asher Beckwitt. As both a trauma coach and a sexual abuse survivor, she understands that each journey is an individual one. Asher's own journey began with years of talk therapy, which laid the foundation for healing. However, it was the introduction of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy that marked a significant turning point. This innovative therapy helped Asher neutralize the trauma, allowing her to recall past experiences from a place of neutrality rather than reactivity. EMDR, coupled with somatic healing practices, enabled her to reconnect with her body and release stored trauma energy. This podcast goes beyond sexual abuse and offers a broad base of possible healing modalities and requirements, ranging from safe places to meditations and beyond.

We want to work with YOU! 15 Minute Free Consultation  Start healing now! Set up a Coaching Session   Welcome to another insightful episode of Mr. and Mrs. Therapy, where licensed therapists Tim and Ruth Olson guide you through the complexities of healing from trauma and fostering healthy relationships. In this episode, the focus is on reclaiming faith through the powerful trauma therapy known as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Building upon their previous discussion on religious trauma, the Olsons delve deeper into how EMDR can facilitate healing by separating negative religious experiences from one's relationship with God. Understand how EMDR works by helping the brain to reprocess and release painful memories and beliefs such as feeling unlovable unless perfect, or fearing divine punishment for not following every rule. The discussion touches on how childhood experiences or sermons engrained negative beliefs that affect one's interactions not only with God but also with other people. As these beliefs are addressed and reprocessed, they lose their grip, leading to more positive interactions and a healthier spiritual life. Drawing from real-life examples and client experiences, Tim and Ruth explain how EMDR is not about altering faith but about removing emotional barriers that hinder spiritual growth. Discover the transformative moments when clients report feeling God's presence during EMDR sessions, experiencing newfound connections and insights related to their spiritual journeys. The episode also addresses common concerns from Christian individuals regarding EMDR, clarifying misconceptions and explaining its compatibility with Christian beliefs. Whether you're dealing with religious trauma or general trauma, learn how EMDR could help in restoring peace, embracing grace, and distinguishing between fallible human actions and divine love. Join the Olsons as they explore key mental shifts facilitated by EMDR, such as redefining God's character from a punisher to a protector, and replacing the need for perfection with an understanding of divine grace. Episode highlights include practical exercises, like reframing, which can aid healing, alongside the assurance that EMDR therapy can be a holy work towards renewing one's spiritual life. So, if feelings of fear and anxiety dominate your faith journey, this episode provides informational insights into how EMDR can help you dismantle those barriers. Stay tuned to learn about the options available for starting your own EMDR therapy journey. [Remember, our podcast is here to spark conversations and offer insights.

(5:42) • Sexually violent predators are people who have committed some type of sex crime. They have been deemed to have some type of mental illness or defect, and there's a belief that they will commit another sex crime. (15:59) • Whenever we sleep – if you're a normal, average healthy sleeper, you should go through various sleep cycles. You should be cycling through light sleep, deep sleep, REM sleep and you're gonna be cycling through these several times a night. (23:18) • REM sleep (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, is most famous for having dreams. (23:44) • Folks who have problems sleeping – there are so many things you can to help yourself. (38:12) • Going to bed at the same time every night and waking up at the same time every morning. This is key. (39:4) • We are inducing our own jet lag when we go from 6am Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, then go down to 9am on Saturday and Sunday. The brain gets very confused.  (43:11) • I have been a psychologist for the FBI for 5 years now, and that entire time I will be helping people with trauma. I'm certified with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and brain spotting. I love those, but I also help people with sleep. (45:10) • In my work, folks experience things and see things that we should not be asking normal human beings to see. (47:04) • [Marcus] When you're doing your job and you're runnin' and gunnin' - no matter what it is - and it tarts creeping into your dreams, that means your database is full. (50:25) • Taking time to reflect either alone or with someone you trust: How is this impacting me? What's happening? (51:36) • I have a book coming out on sleep coming out on sleep. It's called The Sleep Advantage. (56:02) • If you're really getting good sleep, it can impact your decision-making, and your reaction time. It can make you the best of the best; it can impact your performance.

Hey Warriors Unmasked family, Chuck here! I'm so excited to bring you this incredible conversation with Robert Grigore, a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified EMDR Therapist, and author of You Need Therapy: EMDR – Real People with Real Problems Getting Real Help. If you've ever wondered how trauma impacts your mental health or how you can heal from it, this episode is a must-listen. Robert's groundbreaking work in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy has transformed the lives of over 1,000 individuals, including CEOs, athletes, and even high-profile celebrities. In this episode, we dive deep into how EMDR works, why it's so effective, and how it can help you overcome the emotional baggage that might be holding you back. Key Takeaways from Robert's Insights: What is EMDR? Robert explains how EMDR isn't just another talk therapy—it's a structured process that helps you rewire your brain and nervous system. By addressing the root causes of trauma, EMDR allows you to release the emotional weight of past experiences in as little as three days. Understanding Trauma: Trauma isn't just about major life events; it can stem from smaller, repeated experiences that make us feel powerless. Robert shares how these "small T traumas" can shape our beliefs and patterns, often without us realizing it. Breaking Patterns: Robert highlights how our subconscious patterns can keep us stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. EMDR helps identify and reprogram these patterns, freeing us to live a more joyful and fulfilling life. Chuck's Personal Experience with EMDR During this conversation, I shared my own transformative journey with EMDR therapy and how Robert's work helped me let go of decades-old emotional pain. After just a few sessions, I can confidently say that past traumas no longer hold power over me. If you've been carrying a heavy emotional load, I encourage you to explore this life-changing therapy. Robert's Mission and Resources Robert's passion for mental health shines through in his work as the founder of Grigore Counselling & Associates and his podcast, The Mental Health Show with Robert Grigore. Through his innovative Total Immersion EMDR approach, Robert has redefined how quickly and effectively people can heal. His book, You Need Therapy, is a fantastic resource for anyone curious about EMDR or seeking to better understand their mental health.
