Govorimo naravno i o aktuelnim protestima i brutalnosti države, lagano se dotičemo teme Milorada Dodika i sastanka Putin/Tramp (opširnije u Diznilendu), a zatim odgovaramo na pitanja publike iz prethodnih emisija: Vukašinova priča o mističnim iskustvima, etnofiletizmu, šta nam smeta o. Peđa Popović, kako je Beogradski Sindikat služba i kako Miljan povezuje to što je peder i hrišćanstvo/Crkvu. I za kraj, neke preporuke i obavezna poezija mitropolita Fotija.

Early in August, Record Store Day held their annual "Summer Camp" meeting in New Orleans, once again returning to the lovely Hotel Monteleone, in the heart of the French Quarter, for a few days of meeting, schmoozing, and, frankly, Big Easy cuisine. During the week, host Paul Myers recorded a couple of live interviews with musicians talking about their approach to the music business in 2025.  Today, we are sharing one of them. Guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer David Rawlings, whose most recent album with Gillian Welch, Woodland, was one of the best records of 2024, sat down with Paul in the Hotel Monteleone ballroom to discuss his duo's truly independent, and self-reliant, approach to the business of music making and distribution. Welch and Rawlings are co-owners of Nashville's Woodland Studio, their own Acony Records label, and now, they are partners in their own prestige pressing facility, Paramount Pressing & Plating, in Denver, Colorado. It's a fun talk!

Julie Ann Mejia is the CEO and Founder of Holistic Hemp Solutions INC. She holds a BS in Psychology from Salem State University with a concentration in cognitive neuroscience and research. After completing her undergraduate studies, she was burned out from writing research papers and wanted to work hands-on with psychiatric and cognitively impaired patients. Her story with hemp/cannabis began after a work related injury. She was employed as a coordinator at anon-profit agency working with adolescents with cognitive, behavioral and psychological issues. In 2013, her life was drastically altered by a work related injury. She suffered from complications due to the injuries and developed a rare pain disorder called reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD). Julie was prescribed several opioids, but thepharmaceuticals failed to relieve her pain, and they also made her extremely sick. This was a turning point in Julie's life where she decided to take her health into her own hands and seek alternative treatments.

This summer, the Ohio-based musical group Caamp released theirfifth and most adventurous album to date, Copper Changes Color which they call "a celebration of the dreams and bonds that endure." Co-produced by Beatriz Artola (Fleet Foxes, Sharon Van Etten) and Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket, R.E.M.), their songs are raw and vulnerable, alternating between breezy anthems and pensive meditations, and the performances are honest and intuitive to match. Founding member Evan Westfall tells us about building a record upon what they band refer to as "love and trust in the face of doubt and uncertainty, a joyful, cathartic work about not just accepting change, but learning to embrace it." Paul also offers a few words to mark the passing of esteemed, yet possibly underrated singer and guitarist Terry Reid (1949-2025) who succumbed to cancer on August 4th.

In this vulnerable and thought-provoking episode, Jordan and Simon unpack perception sensitivity dysphoria – a lesser-known offshoot of rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) that plagues many neurodivergent individuals. They explore what it means to constantly feel scrutinised, misread, or even attacked just for existing authentically.

Breaking Down Internalized Ableism  Summary In this conversation, Patricia explores the concept of internalized ableism, particularly among neurodivergent individuals. She discusses how societal stigma and expectations can lead to negative self-perceptions and feelings of inadequacy. Patricia shares personal experiences and insights on how internalized ableism manifests in various aspects of life, including relationships, self-acceptance, and the pressure to conform to neurotypical standards. She emphasizes the importance of unlearning these hurtful beliefs and embracing one's neurodivergent identity with compassion and understanding.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       Internalized ableism is the unconscious adoption of negative beliefs about oneself due to societal stigma. ·       Neurodivergent individuals often feel pressure to conform to neurotypical standards, which can lead to trauma. ·       Resting is a valid need and should not be seen as a failure. ·       Asking for accommodations is essential for well-being and should not induce guilt. ·       The concept of 'high functioning' can be harmful and does not reflect true capabilities. ·       Time agnosia is a common experience for neurodivergent individuals. ·       Self-compassion is crucial in overcoming internalized ableism. ·       Relationships can be affected by the fear of being a burden. ·       Unlearning internalized ableism involves recognizing and challenging societal expectations. ·       Embracing neurodivergence includes acknowledging strengths and practicing self-acceptance. 115 SPECIFIC POINTS DISCUSSED 1.     How internalized ableism shows up in everyday life o   Masking, pushing through burnout, or feeling "lazy" when you're resting. 2.     Messages we absorbed growing up o   From school, parents, peers, or media about being "too much," "distracted," "weird," or "wrong." 3.     Perfectionism and people-pleasing as survival o   How needing to be “better” or “easy to manage” is often rooted in internalized shame. 4.     The trap of “not disabled enough” or “faking it” o   How we invalidate our own struggles because we don't “look” stereotypically disabled. 5.     ADHD, autism, OCD & “high-functioning” narratives o   The myth of being “high functioning” and how it reinforces ableist expectations. 6.     Feeling guilt for needing accommodations or rest o   That voice that says “you're being difficult” when you ask for what you actually need. 7.     Shame around executive dysfunction o   Struggling to start tasks, follow through, or manage time — and blaming yourself. 8.     Rejecting your own needs to fit in o   Forcing eye contact, avoiding stimming, hiding rituals, not using noise-canceling headphones in public, etc. 9.     The pressure to be “independent” all the time o   How internalized capitalism + ableism equates needing support with being a failure. 10.  Comparing yourself to neurotypical peers ·       Especially in productivity, relationships, or emotional regulation. 11.  “If I can do it sometimes, I should always be able to” myth ·       Inconsistent ability = inconsistent worth? Nope. Talk about spoon theory and fluctuating capacity. 12.  How OCD-specific traits are misunderstood or mocked ·       And how that seeps into how you see yourself (e.g., feeling “crazy,” “irrational,” or “a burden”). 13.  Internalized ableism in dating & relationships ·       Fear of being too much, too emotional, or too rigid — and minimizing yourself as a result. 14.  How healing looks like reclaiming your needs unapologetically ·       Self-accommodation, boundaries, rest, and neurodivergent joy as rebellion. 15.  Relearning self-compassion and identity pride ·       Ending with hope: unmasking, connecting with community, and defining success on your own terms.    SOUND BITES ·       "Rest is resistance." ·       "You are not broken." ·       "You deserve rest, joy, and support."    SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You are not broken. You were shaped by systems that weren't built for you. You deserve rest, joy, and support exactly as you are.    CHAPTERS (please add time for addition of introduction) 00:00 Understanding Internalized Ableism 02:40 The Impact of Societal Expectations 05:31 Navigating Personal Experiences with Internalized Ableism 08:18 The Struggle for Accommodations 10:55 Executive Dysfunction and Inconsistent Abilities 14:01 The Pressure of Productivity 16:53 Feeling 'Not Enough' in Neurodivergence 19:43 Unlearning Internalized Ableism 22:27 Building Self-Compassion and Acceptance  PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching.

In this episode we're introduced to Beatty Carmichael, author of 'The Prayer of Freedom,' who shares his journey of using prayer for healing various ailments. Beatty discusses his methods and experiences, including empirical results from his work at an addiction recovery center. The podcast emphasizes the importance of incorporating prayer alongside traditional medical treatments but advises listeners to consult their healthcare professionals before making any changes. Beatty's spiritual approach has reportedly yielded impressive results across various chronic conditions. 00:00 Sponsor Message: 7 5 3 Academy 00:48 Introduction to the Podcast 01:22 Creating a Sanctuary: A Place of Rest 02:11 Guest Introduction: Beatty Carmichael 05:45 Beatty's Background and Healing Journey 08:41 The Power of Prayer in Healing 12:29 Scientific Approach to Spiritual Healing 21:05 Conclusion and Next Episode Teaser 21:34 Closing Remarks and Contact Information Bio: Beatty Carmichael is a leading expert in spiritual laws and how they affect our health, emotions, and behaviors. After 25 years in business, he uncovered a radical truth: most pain, mental illness, sickness, and trauma aren't rooted in physical or emotional causes, but in the spiritual realm. By identifying and removing the specific spiritual roots behind these struggles, he's helped over1,000 people find freedom from things like chronic pain, anxiety, addiction, depression, suicidal thoughts, and even bipolar disorder—issues that medical science often can't resolve. Once the root is gone, the problem typically disappears in less than 24 hours—with a documented 90% success rate. Beatty outlines this simple, step-by-step method in his book, The Prayer of Freedom, available at www.ThePrayerOfFreedomBook.com. Today, he'll expose why so many people stay stuck—and how anyone can experience real, lasting healing by targeting the root issue most others overlook.

Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful Podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer songwriter, speaker and domestic [00:01:00] violence advocate, Diana . She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help. Now here is Diana. Hello and welcome to the podcast. Come on in, take a deep breath, breathe out. It's pretty crazy out there right now. Hopefully this is a sanctuary for you, a place of rest. A place to come and take a load off, a peaceful place and try and make it that way. Say a prayer. I hope that you've been enjoying the guests that we've had on the show recently. We do have a great guest for you this week as well. We're gonna be talking about [00:02:00] prayer when it comes to wellness. We are certainly big on prayer here and trying to find ways to heal from domestic violence and abuse. And my guest today is Beatie Carmichael, and he's gonna tell us our prayer. Is instrumental in healing. Uh, I wanna tell you a little about his bio here. Beatty Carmichael is the author of the book, the Prayer of Freedom. He has developed a way of praying for healing. God actually answers those prayers around 87% of the time. With this process, he has seen God heal over 700 people. Everything from relationship [00:03:00] conflicts, all kinds of chronic pain, anxiety, glaucoma, and more. Some people think God doesn't answer prayers for healing because they've never seen him do it for them, but Beatty has found that with the right approach, God does it almost every time. So if you struggle with relationship conflicts, chronic pain, migraines, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and more, you're in for a big treat. With today's guest as Beatty shares the root cause of most of these issues and a simple four step approach in prayer to get lasting freedom from them today. So I do want to say when we're talking about healthcare issues, 'cause I work in healthcare. Yes, prayer is definitely a part of [00:04:00] healing. The hospital that I belong to, that I work at definitely believes in faith and incorporating prayer as part of the treatment plan. And some of the stories and examples that he's going to give are pretty miraculous. Just want to make sure that you are following your medical professional's advice, whether it's a medical doctor or a psychiatrist, psychologist. Pharmacist. That you are following their professional advice. Don't stop taking your medication or don't stop taking your cancer treatment unless it is approved by your doctor who is in charge of you. I have to say that because, a lot of lawsuits happen, especially here in the United States, you know, the whole, this is not to diagnose, cure, treat any [00:05:00] disease. We all see that on things like vitamins and so forth. But at the same time, we are open-minded to other ways of healing, particularly. Spiritual ways of healing is a little bit of a different take on healing. So we wanna be open-minded to other options that may work for you that may supplement what you're doing now. We certainly need God's help when it comes to healing because he is the great physician. So I am, excited as to what he has for us today and what he has to show for us. So enjoy my conversation with Beatty Carmichael. I'm excited to welcome my guest today, Beatie Carmichael from Birmingham, Alabama. Welcome. Well, thank you, Diana. I'm glad to be here. We're gonna talk about your book, the [00:06:00] Prayer of Freedom and about prayer and healing. So I'm very excited to have you today. Now, are you a survivor yourself or any of your family members? No, but I teach at a place where I deal with survivors all day long. Yeah. You say you teach a class on spiritual warfare at a Women's Addiction Recovery center. Yeah. So tell us about that, your ladies that you help. So, it's the largest addiction recovery center in America. They house over 500 women, and they're all recovering from addiction. Usually with addiction, you have all kinds of trauma, childhood abuse, you have all kinds of parental, loved one abuse and just all this stuff that goes with it. And I teach, two or three classes and I've been doing it for three years and love to just grow and to love the ladies and really understand a lot of the challenges they go [00:07:00] through. And I, I do teach a class on spiritual warfare. And the subtitle is How to Get Free of These Torments that They that struggle with. And it's the number one class in this facility because most of my students, when they come in, they leave being freed of most of the junk that they've been carrying for most of their life. And they're able to let go and finally start to be on a platform where they can move forward in life. So it's been really cool. Wow. You come from a family of doctors, I understand? Yes. So I come from a line of seven generations of medical doctors and I'll have to brag on mayo Clinic. So my dad, when he was in surgery, he entered surgery when specialties were just coming out, and so he was a vascular surgeon. His specialty were the carotid arteries on the either side of the neck, and it's very critical because if any of, if one of those bursts, you got [00:08:00] minutes before the eyes. Right? And so my dad had the highest. The quickest route recovery quickest surgery, lowest complication, even higher, better numbers than the guys at the Mayo Clinic. So we always thought, Hey, that's pretty cool, wow. Mayo Clinic. But he retired, 15, 18 years ago. But seven generations consecutively of medical doctors. I didn't go into medicine, but I took the same approach. To work on healing, which is a scientific approach, and I help people get healed through more of a prayer approach than a medicine approach. And it's been really cool. So was there like an event that brought you into this prayer? Yeah. I'll tell you the story as it is, whether you believe it or not, or whether you, okay. So I end up going into business. I'm actually a small business owner by trade and vocation. I [00:09:00] helped real estate agents get listings. It's a little company called agent dominator.com and about nine years ago, the Lord started put this burden on my heart to want to bring healing into people's lives and looking backwards. I can kind of see now, sort of this healing mantle in my generations and it was always there, but had been suppressed for me. But he started to awaken it and he led me eight and a half years ago to simply go out and try to pray for people for healing. And so, with a little bit of anxiety, but kind of this urge to try it. I went out to a Walmart and I walk up to people that look like they're in pain. They're limping, they're riding one of those scooters because they can't walk. Things of that sort. And I just asked, Hey, I'm out praying for people. Can I pray for you on anything? Are you in pain? Right? And I saw a third of the people. Uh, now you have to understand my definition of healing may be a little bit different. I call [00:10:00] it heal. But since we're on a kind of a medical type show, I wanna be clear on this, it was a total cessation of symptoms. Okay? Okay. So, like, the, one of the first ladies, she was she had degenerative disc in her neck and degenerative disc in her lower back. She was racked in arthritis and she had lupus and she was riding one of these little electric scooters and she had an assistant with her to help her get things off the shelf because she couldn't even look up. Mm-hmm. So I prayed for her and I said, well, stand up and let's see if it works. Right. And she stands up, no pain. She can move her neck all the way around. She can li you know, I mean everything as if. There was nothing there anymore, so I would call that being healed. She didn't go to the doctor, so we don't have a medical diagnosis, but everything that she couldn't do, she could do now without pain. And I started to see a third of the people I prayed for what that type of stuff would happen. And then within about a year or so, I got it up to about 90%. [00:11:00] People like with glaucoma, their eyes would, they can now see people who couldn't hear would now hear. I mean, these things that we would say, uh, like one first ones was a lady with RSD. She had on this compression sleeve on her right arm. And I said, can I pray for you? She said, yes, but don't touch it. I said, what's going on? I have RSD. And I said, oh, okay. Like, I knew what it was. I had no idea what RSD is about, When I went back and told dad about this, and I told him about RSD, he said, RSD. Is a neuropathy type of a neurological issue. It's extremely painful and it's incurable. And if she no longer has pain, he said that's a miracle, right? But after I prayed for her, you could touch her arm and she, I mean, everything was just normal. So I started to go this direction and then what happened that led me into where we're going with the prayer freedom is after about seven years of this, and I would say about a hundred people a year. All these things disappear. I'd go out and I was seeing nine outta 10 people, [00:12:00] whatever, as I prayed for all the symptoms, completely disappear. And then in a period of two weeks, I went back out and I now only saw one outta 10. And it baffled me, you know, I, I'm a scientist. I say, you keep doing the same thing, you should get the same result, right? So I went in prayer and asked God, what's going on? And God said, I took that gift of healing away. I said, why? He said, because now I want you to do it based on authority. And I understood what he meant. This is one of the things I've been experimenting with along the way is some of these spiritual laws and how, to define for you and the audience. You have several types of sciences. One is a physical science, right? So in physical sciences, I like, I have a pen, and if I let go of the pen, it drops. And every time I let go of the pen, it drops. And if you were to pick up your pen and let go of it, it would drop. So we can conclude. There's a physical law, we call it gravity because mm-hmm. Every time you do the same result, [00:13:00] same activity always gets the same result. So we can say there's a law that we can't see, but it's empirically provable. I started to see the same thing in the spiritual realm. And I call it spiritual realm because it's just not the physical realm. I don't know what realm it is. I just call it spirit. And that spiritual realm is when we pray a certain process over here, the same result always occurs over on this other side. And that's where God was starting to send me. So I would go back out to Walmart in places and I would take them through a process rather than me praying for them, I would lead them in prayer and they started getting the same result of all kinds of things that. We would call a miracle be only because we can't explain how in the world could that happen. And then God told me to write this into a book and that's what came out with the prayer freedom. And as I'm teaching at this Addiction Recovery Center, these women have all kinds of [00:14:00] issues. If you're familiar with anyone with addiction, there's a lot of trauma that goes with it. Usually in early age, and then you have, as a result of that, you have all kinds of things like bipolar, you have anxiety and depression and panic attacks. You have sometimes voices in your head, all kinds of chronic pain. And for these ladies also lots of addiction. And I worked out a worksheet where you make a list of the things that are the spiritual roots I was able to identify. And I gave them a prayer of just how to pray to God and include these spiritual roots basically saying, I'm sorry about doing this, or I'm sorry about doing that. And so I gave it to my three classes. I first had to make a list of all the issues they were going through, so all this stuff that, the mental illnesses, the chronic pains, and the addiction urges and anything else, and rate those, illness, those levels on a scale of zero to [00:15:00] 10. 10 being worse, zero being, they don't have it. They don't feel it, they can't identify it. And then I had them go through this process on their own. 'cause I wanted to measure was does this really work or is it just something with me? So I came back a month later and they turned in their papers after praying through going through this process. And I found that of those who completed it, 87% of them. Saw pretty much everything on their list go to a zero, just like totally disappear out of their lives. The 13% of the people saw almost no movement. Okay? So I'm not sure what's going on with the 13%, but for almost nine outta 10, it just like almost everything left, which is interesting. I won't thing about that until just now. Those are the same numbers I saw praying for people, right? Nine outta 10. I see the same thing with this. Yet, this is now a systematic approach. And so [00:16:00] that's why I say it's a spiritual approach to on spiritual laws, because these ladies, they're, some are atheists, some may probably Buddhist or Hindu. Others are Christian. Others are just agnostic. It doesn't matter to their religion. It's just that the framework of there's probably a God that created us. If, have you ever heard Diana of Karma? Do you know what karma is? Yes. Okay. Mm-hmm. So a lot of people say, you know, karma, you do bad things, bad things are gonna happen to you, kind of this cause, right? Yeah. Well, the Bible actually talks about that as as a root of sickness. And I use the Bible because it's been really accurate spiritually from the spiritual laws. And one of the things it says is, it says, actually two things. Number one in the Old Testament, it says, if you sin against God, uh, this is in a book called Deuteronomy. It said, if you sin against God and don't obey him, then he'll send on you all these sicknesses and diseases. And then over in the New [00:17:00] Testament at the end of the Bible, in James five 16, it says, if you confess your sins, you'll be healed. So it shows both of these spiritual laws. You do something bad against God, sickness and diseases, and then if you confess your sin, which means to repent and be sorry for them, then he will heal you. And that's basically the premise of this, of the prayer freedom is identifying these things that we may have done that maybe is against what God wants us to do. And when we say we're sorry and ask him to heal it, then we find a lot of these things just kind of disappear. I do wanna be real, since we're on a medical call, let me get this claimer. Okay. If you're under the care of a doctor, don't stop anything until you get their doctor's for approval, right? Because Yes, thank you. Yeah, because some of this stuff, it may not be exactly what you're thinking, but more than anything else, there's a lot of stuff that we don't want to fill with, especially when you get into prescription type of drugs. Okay. And there's a lot of issues there. So, [00:18:00] if you're on any sort of prescriptions or any other therapies before you stop it, even if you think you can, go talk to the doctor first and get permission. Great. Thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Now you're talking about prayer, but. Would you call yourself a prayer warrior? What is your spiritual background? Like, were you really good at praying or no? What was it like for you growing up? I went to a very liberal church initially that really didn't teach much, other than feel good is the way I would describe it. Then I moved to another church that was very legalistic. Very dogmatic. Mm-hmm. And there was like no love. Right? Right. And so this whole thing of prayer, what really happened to me is I was, you know, I claim, I'm a Christian as my chosen religion, but it wasn until God started to heal people, when I would pray for them. I got really [00:19:00] curious about what this thing is all about and really curious, is prayer really that effective? Right, because it's, I'd never seen that before. Oh, I pray, but I'm not sure I could really say because I prayed something happened. And a lot of times I just wouldn't pray about things because it is like you just kind of pray and goes up in this ether somewhere and we hope maybe something happens good from it. Taking vitamins. We take vitamins, but we can't really track anything specific. We just know it's probably good. Unless you have scurvy? Yeah. Unless you have scurvy or something. Vitamin That vitamin C. But once I started to see people starting to be healed, it really prompted a high level of curiosity to understand what's going on. And this is where I think I call it the scientific mind. Only because doctors are scientists, they're medical scientists and so while they are medical doctors, I call myself a prayer doctor, right? Because they use medicine to heal. I figured out a way to [00:20:00] use prayer to heal so that I wouldn't call myself a prayer warrior. If anything, I would say I'm a scientist, a spiritual scientist or a prayer doctor. I'm not sure. But yeah, so that's how I started. And then over the years I started to identify these spiritual laws that the Bible talked about. And then I would go out and test them and start to pick up a consistent pattern of, I'll call it empirical data that was just irrefutable. And I go, wow, this works. And it no longer works because of me. It works because someone else is following the process. So I know a couple atheists very well, and we've had some conversations, very spirited conversations about Yeah, that God doesn't exist. You mentioned that this would work for anyone, even atheist. So they would say prayer is communication and worship of a [00:21:00] deity. So. Why would an atheist go for that? Just curious. I think this is a great place to stop. I know that you're gonna wanna hear more stories and more about this healing with prayer as to how it works and how you can incorporate it into your treatment plan. He has a lot more to say, so I encourage you to be here next time on the Woods of the Faithful Podcast. Thanks for listening. God bless you. Have a great week. Bye for now.

Some Challenges in Neurodivergent Communication Summary In this episode, Patricia discusses the challenges faced by AuDHDers and other neurodivergent individuals in communication, particularly regarding lack of responding to messages. She explores the concept of internalized ableism and how it affects self-perception and interactions. Patricia shares personal experiences and insights on the importance of flexibility in relationships and the need for authenticity in communication. The conversation emphasizes the struggles of neurodivergent individuals, including executive functioning challenges, and the significance of self-acceptance and understanding in navigating social situations.   HIGHLIGHTS It's not uncommon for neurodivergent individuals to struggle with responding to messages. ·       Internalized ableism can affect how we perceive our struggles. ·       Flexibility in relationships is helpful for understanding each other's challenges. ·       People often have their own timeframes for communication. ·       It's important to give ourselves permission to not always follow plans. ·       Authenticity in communication can foster better relationships. ·       Neurodivergent individuals often attract other neurodivergent friends and partners with similar experiences. ·       Comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy among neurodivergent individuals. ·       Being open about our struggles can help others feel validated. ·       Sensitivity is a natural part of being neurodivergent and should be embraced.  SOUND BITES "I have so much room for that." "We have a hard time taking breaks." "It's hard for me to not compare." SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED ·      You have a right to be joyful, forgetful, ableist, non-ableist, stimmy, non-stimmy.  ·      You're not for everyone. Everyone's not for you.   ·      It's okay to push through.  ·      It's okay to rest.      It's okay to compare.  ·      It's okay to trust that how you show up in the world is fine and all you have to do is be you and who is meant to be in your life will be there and the people that aren't, will drop away.   CHAPTERS 00:00 Navigating Communication Challenges 06:35 Understanding Internalized Ableism 11:39 The Struggles of Neurodivergence 17:24 The Importance of Authenticity in Relationships PODCAST HOST Patricia Young, she/her was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching.

On July 22, 2025, we lost Birmingham-born rock vocalist and cultural icon Ozzy Osbourne, rock's "prince of darkness," at the age of 76. His death, from complications due to Parkinson's Disease, ends a career spanning five decades, in which he pioneered an entire subgenre of heavy metal music, as frontman for Black Sabbath, before going on to an even bigger career as a solo artist, where he is credited for introducing the guitarist Randy Rhoads to the wider rock world, and for creating the wildly popular Ozzfest tours. Then, when he'd done it all, he and members of his family, Jack, Kelly, and his manager-wife Sharon, became pioneers of "reality TV" with the hit series, The Osbournes. On this very special episode, we hear two personal stories of how Ozzy's music and persona touched the lives of music industry professionals who were also, first and foremost, fans. Returning to our program, Jenn D'Eugenio (Women In Vinyl), made the journey to Birmingham for Ozzy's bittersweet Back To The Beginning farewell show, . She shares her first-hand descriptions of the event, plus two other fascinating Black Sabbath stories. Also returning is acclaimed music journalist Sylvie Simmons (Sounds, Kerrang!, and more), who took some time away from writing an Ozzy piece for Mojo magazine to share some personal anecdotes with Ozzy dating all the way back to his last days in Sabbath and how Sharon navigated his career back to the top.

For some of you, rejection and criticism trigger an emotional response so intense it has its own name: Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD).In this episode, we deep into the painful world of RSD – that overwhelming feeling of shame and worthlessness that can follow even minor criticism for or rejection. Jacqueline shares a raw, personal story about crying in a supervisor's office following critical feedback, highlighting how even successful people can feel ambushed by the pain of rejection. What's surprising is that the research shows that RSD is common with neurodivergent people with symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We question whether RSD is truly unique to ADHD or if it's simply an intense manifestation of shame that's been given a clinical name. The neurobiological explanation involves differences in how the ADHD brain processes rejection, but we wonder if the real difference lies in how frequently people with ADHD face criticism throughout their lives for behaviors that are difficult to control.We also cover practical coping strategies, exploring cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, leaning into and even celebrating the traits that often invite criticism. Perhaps most valuable is reframing ADHD traits as having both strengths and challenges, recognizing that spontaneity, creativity, and hyperfocus can be tremendous assets in the right context.**We're excited to announce that our KulaMind community is finally open!!

Overstimulation & Recharge and the Impact on Relationships   In this conversation, Patricia explores the themes of overstimulation, the importance of recharging, and the dynamics of friendship, particularly in the context of neurodivergence. She shares her personal experiences with protesting, the challenges of feeling safe in crowds, and the emotional complexities of friendships, including rejection sensitivity, and the trauma that many Autistics have experienced in relationships. The discussion emphasizes the need for self-care, understanding one's limits, and the significance of connection in navigating life's challenges.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       We often need to recharge after overstimulation. ·       Protesting can be a positive experience despite initial fears. ·       It's important to communicate needs in friendships. ·       Rejection sensitivity can affect how we perceive relationships. ·       Predictability and routine can provide comfort for neurodivergent individuals. ·       Self-care is essential for emotional regulation. ·       Understanding our triggers can help in managing our responses. ·       Friendships can change, and it's okay to let go. ·       We should honor our sensitivity and the way we connect with others. ·       It's important to recognize that not everyone is meant for us.   SOUND BITES "You have a right to rest." "You are not meant for everyone."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to reach out to friends. You have a right to rest. You have a right to be playful. You have a right to be serious and quiet. Our idea of fun is not always what a neurotypical's idea of fun is, and that could be studying a language, studying something that you're interested in, doing a craft project, spending time with animals. You have a right to be quiet. You have a right to be loud. You are not meant for everyone and everyone is not meant for you.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Navigating Overstimulation and Recharge 06:04 Experiencing Protest: A Personal Journey 11:54 Friendship Dynamics and Rejection Sensitivity 18:48 Patterns of Engagement and Disengagement PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching.

Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ What if perfectionism isn't ambition, but a nervous system reflex for survival? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by returning guest Piper Rose of ShadowPlay Coaching to explore perfectionism and rejection sensitivity through a neuroscience and trauma-informed lens. We reframe perfectionism as a high-cost survival strategy rooted in complex trauma, societal conditioning, and early nervous system adaptations. Together, Elisabeth Kristof, Jennifer Wallace, and Piper unpack how perfectionistic behaviors can emerge as reflexive responses to rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD), relational trauma, and the need for social safety. You'll learn the neurobiology of rejection, the health costs of chronic perfectionism, and how to shift from performance and people-pleasing into embodied wholeness. The episode offers practical tools and empowering frameworks for understanding the somatic roots of perfectionism and reclaiming your internal safety and authenticity. This is a deeply validating conversation for anyone who's ever felt like they had to earn love, approval, or belonging through being “perfect.” Topics discussed in this episode: Why perfectionism is a survival response, not a personality trait How rejection sensitivity forms in the nervous system The difference between perfectionism and growth-oriented excellence Why our brains respond to social rejection like physical pain The “garden” metaphor for complex trauma and coping How societal systems reinforce performance-based self-worth Chronic illness and the cost of emotional suppression The link between self-sacrifice and autoimmune conditions Why the nervous system must be regulated before healing perfectionism How somatic work shifts self-rejection into self-acceptance The paradox of people-pleasing and codependency Reclaiming energy and creativity from high-resource coping mechanisms Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ To learn more about Piper Rose and Shadow Play coaching, head to https://piperrosecoaching.com/  Connect with Piper on Instagram by heading to https://www.instagram.com/shadowplaycoaching/ Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: https://www.rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

Your website should be your hardest-working employee but for many therapists, it's doing the exact opposite. In today's episode, I break down 12 common website mistakes I see on therapists' sites that are actively stopping clients from booking. If you've ever felt confused about why your site isn't generating inquiries, this is for you. We'll unpack everything from why you shouldn't offer “discovery calls” (unless you know how to run them), why “fit” language can trigger rejection-sensitive clients, to how your About Page might be doing more harm than good. I'll also walk you through simple swaps, like ditching stock photos of sadness and using videos to build instant trust and connection. If you're a counsellor, psychologist, play therapist or social worker who feels like their site is invisible, confusing, or just not converting, this episode will be really useful. You'll leave with clarity, direction, and real examples you can model. This episode is especially helpful if you're trying to grow your caseload or you're launching a new website soon. Action Step: Check your homepage right now. Does it clearly say who you are, who you help, and how you help them? If not, update your headline today using the simple formula from this episode. That one change could help Google index your page better and make it easier for potential clients to say yes.

Performative Expectations vs. Honoring Your Neurodivergent (AuDHD) Needs     In this conversation, Patricia discusses the challenges of navigating personal truths, autonomy, and performative expectations, particularly as an AuDHDer. Patricia reflects on her struggles with body image, the importance of self-trust, the need for autonomy (PDA), honoring her needs as a neurodivergent human, and prioritizing her comfort. She also addresses social anxiety, the joy of spontaneity, and the balance between assertiveness and sensitivity in relationships. Ultimately, Patricia emphasizes personal growth and the acceptance of one's unique identity through the planning and execution of her son's wedding.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       Navigating personal truths is essential for autonomy, and working with PDA (pervasive or persistent drive for autonomy) ·       Performative expectations can override the needs of the human. ·       Body image issues are apt to come up when asked to wear clothes one doesn't normally wear. ·       Self-trust is crucial in making personal choices. ·       Finding comfort in clothing is important for self-regulation, and feeling authentic. ·       Fear of overwhelm and dysregulation can be mitigated with preparation. ·       Embracing spontaneity can enhance connections with others. ·       Assertiveness is necessary in family dynamics. ·       Personal growth often comes from challenging experiences. ·       Sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness.   SOUND BITES "This is not about getting married." "I felt so present." "I really wanted to honor the bride." "I was very disheartened." "I fell in love with it."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to trust that you are exactly where you need to be. There's not anything you need to do. Your value and worth does not come from being productive. You can be stimmy. You can be joyful. You can be quiet.   You can be assertive. You can be moving your body. You can be still. You can want to touch all of the dogs in the world, and all of the horses. You can want to be left alone. You can enjoy being with people not being with people.

Filmmaker Mark Romanek's early love of cinema not only lead him to early acclaim at Sundance for his 1986 film Static, but his later award-winning feature films like One Hour Photo (2002), and Never Let Me Go (2010). But it also lead him to become one of the most prolific and identifiable auteurs of the 1990's music video boom, with a client list that includes Jay-Z, Beck, Fiona Apple, Beyonce, Nine Inch Nails, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, and even Johnny Cash.

Are you parenting a teen with ADHD and wondering why they seem so emotionally intense? Have you ever felt helpless watching your child spiral from rejection or frustration, unsure how to support them? In this deeply compassionate and eye-opening episode, Colleen interviews Jheri South—a mom of seven neurodivergent children, ADHD coach, and parent mentor—about the often overlooked emotional side of ADHD, especially Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). Jheri shares her raw and inspiring journey from being a single mom in survival mode to becoming an empowered advocate and guide for parents of neurodivergent teens. Together, they discuss why ADHD isn't just about distractibility—it's about difficulty regulating attention and emotion. Jheri explains how understanding the neurological wiring of ADHD can radically shift a child's self-worth and a parent's approach. She also unpacks how a simple coaching tool helped her son break through emotional paralysis—and why parents must do their own work to create a stable foundation for healing and growth. Jheri's insights are grounded in both lived experience and professional expertise. She explains why many parents misinterpret emotional dysregulation as defiance, how girls often mask their symptoms, and why RSD episodes are not moments for discipline but for space and understanding. If you've ever wondered whether medication, coaching, or mindset work is the right path, Jheri provides a balanced, informed perspective—along with hope that your teen can thrive.
