PTSD isn't always born in a firefight or a resuscitation bay. Sometimes it grows quietly while you sit at a computer, doing your job well, watching the worst parts of humanity play out on screen. We sit down with Dr John Tullius, a former CIA officer and current professor at the Naval Postgraduate School, to talk about post-traumatic stress disorder, vicarious trauma, and the unique toll of open source intelligence in the social media era.John shares what changed in his work with the CIA after 9/11, how analysts shifted from newspapers and radio to high-volume internet monitoring, and why repeated exposure to torture and killing can be one of the most pernicious pathways to PTSD. We dig into the cultural and organisational barriers that keep people silent, then unpack a surprisingly effective intervention: a psychologist who designed group sessions for safety and anonymity and ultimately got most staff to seek help. If you lead teams in intelligence, law enforcement, military units, or first responder organisations, you'll take away concrete ideas you can apply.We also connect it to healthcare worker PTSD and burnout, including what it feels like when a difficult patient story or a child's death triggers a body-level stress response. We talk screening, prevention, and why “I'm fine” can hide a lot, plus the uncomfortable truth that alcohol often becomes the go-to numbing strategy in high stress professions.

"Every scar says, 'Here's where I was broken, and here is where God met me.'" ~ Pat ElsberryWhat if the deepest wound in your life could one day become your greatest testimony of God's faithfulness?In today's episode, returning guest Pat Elsberry joins us to discuss her newest book, When Scars Become Stories: A Journey to Healing, Restoration, and Faith.  After her daughter Melanie died due to addiction in 2020, Pat began the difficult journey of child loss ... a journey that has deepened her faith and shaped the message of hope she now shares with others. Together, we explore many of the themes woven throughout her book, including the physical effects of grief, learning to grieve with hope and grace, finding God's presence in the darkest valleys, and discovering how our scars can become stories that point others to Jesus.If you've ever wondered whether joy can exist alongside sorrow, this conversation offers biblical encouragement and practical hope for wherever you are on your grief journey.In this episode, you'll hear:The often-overlooked physical effects of child loss.What it means to grieve with hope rather than without hope.Why hope is the oxygen grieving parents desperately need.How God's grace enables us to keep moving forward.The beautiful picture of kintsugi and how God restores broken hearts.Why our scars are not something to hide but testimonies of God's faithfulness.How worship and praise become powerful anchors during grief.What it means to be comforted by God so we can comfort others.The reassurance that we serve El Roi, the God who sees us.How to weather unexpected "tsunami waves" of grief.Practical signs that healing is quietly taking place.Why living with an eternal perspective changes everything.The hope of reunion with our children through Jesus Christ.Whether your loss is recent or decades behind you, Pat reminds us that grief and hope can exist together ... that our children's stories still matter, and that God is still writing our stories.Resources MentionedWhen Scars Become Stories: A Journey to Healing, Restoration, and Faith by Pat ElsberryPat's website: Hope During LossConnect with Pat on Facebook and InstagramListen to Pat's previous appearance on the While We're Waiting podcast (Episode 219 and Episode 220), where she shares Melanie's story.I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

Ximena Borrazás is a Uruguayan photographer and documentary filmmaker born in Montevideo in 1992. She focuses on armed conflicts, migration, and humanitarian crises. Her work combines visual sensitivity with a strong commitment to social justice, often addressing the experiences of women and displaced populations. She has published with major international outlets, including National Geographic, The Guardian, BBC, CNN, DW, France 24, Al Jazeera, and the Associated Press, and has worked with institutions such as UNHCR, UNESCO, and IOM. Ximena's project in northern Ethiopia documents the devastating aftermath of the Tigray conflict, one of the deadliest wars of the 21st century. Her images portray survivors of sexual violence, displaced families, and the enduring effects of famine and trauma. This work earned her the 2024 Tom Stoddart Award for Excellence, the Gentex Corp Personal Safety Award from the Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant, and the Africa Mundi Award for best photographic publication in Planeta Futuro of El País. Her long-term documentary project The Scars of War, which began in Tigray, combines photography, testimony, and documentation to investigate conflict-related sexual violence through a forensic lens. Rather than treating sexual violence as an isolated act, the project traces it as a weapon of war, examining physical, psychological, and social evidence left behind, and the systems, or lack thereof, that respond to it. Ximena is currently based in Ukraine where, aside from continuing to photograph, she has a full-time job as a Liaison and Communications Officer with the United Nations. On episode 286, Ximena discusses, among other things: Working for the UN in Ukraine Her first experience of visiting the Polish border The nature of working amidst drone warfare Challenges of being a freelancer in a conflict zone Why she doesn't really want to be a photographer The experience of being in Kyiv on a daily basis Her life before photography Early forays into documentary work Her project in Tigray, Ethiopia and the context of the conflict there How she began The Scars of War, her work on conflict related sexual violence How serendipity on a HEFAT course led to publication in The Guardian How some X-rays changed everything and why they were so powerful How she has extended her project to other areas, and focussed on male victims How her job at the UN combines with her advocacy work Website | Instagram Become a A Small Voice podcast member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of 200+ previous episodes for £4 per month.

We told you about it on Monday and almost immediately after, the flooding and mud flows began. North Creek near Beaver was caught on camera running high and fast, filled with mud and other debris left behind by the Cottonwood Fire. As this week goes on, the chances for more storms and monsoonal moisture increase too. So while we may look okay here on the Wasatch Front, other parts of the state could see some real danger. KSL Meteorologist Devan Mascuilli joins to discuss the forecast and flooding risks.

Welcome to The Shadowsphere Podcast, where the conversations hit as hard as a light tube and every episode opens the door to the world of Canadian Death Match wrestling.

In the dark, debaucherous world of Obsession, Bear is a mentally damaged young man living a lonely existence with his grandmother and a borrowed cat, carrying deep-seated trauma from his missing parents. While his profound emotional scars make him a natural match for the equally damaged Sarah, Bear desperately chases Nikki, hoping a relationship with her will elevate his life—completely ignoring that Nikki only views him as a immature, platonic friend she occasionally pities. Complicating this tragic dynamic is Ian, a toxic, sabotaging friend who actively blocks Bear's chances with Nikki out of his own selfish desires. Despite having years to make a genuine move, Bear remains passively stuck in a self-inflicted friend zone until the devastating news of Nikki's permanent departure shatters his restraint. Overcome by sudden greed and dangerous desperation, he turns to the supernatural power of the "One Wish Willow," unleashing a chaotic chain of events that exposes the terrifying, destructive heights of toxic relationships, narcissism, and unrequited obsession.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

In an industry constantly promoting the newest device or technology, why has microneedling remained a cornerstone of skin rejuvenation?In this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is joined by aesthetic nurse Charlene for part four of their five-part series examining today's most popular nonsurgical aesthetic treatments.Together, they explore the science behind microneedling, how controlled collagen stimulation can improve skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin quality, and why this relatively simple treatment continues to earn the confidence of experienced providers despite the constant introduction of newer technologies.Dr. Rahban and Charlene also discuss the differences between microneedling devices, why the quality of the equipment and technique matter, the role of PRP, PRF, hyaluronic acid, and other skin boosters, what to expect during recovery, and the importance of proper post-treatment care to maximize both safety and results.This episode isn't about chasing the latest trend or claiming that one treatment can solve every skin concern. It's about understanding why microneedling has remained a foundational treatment in aesthetic medicine—and why, for many patients, it represents one of the safest, most effective long-term investments in healthier, more resilient skin.✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored:✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us.✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education:Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life.

If you have ever wondered whether you'll laugh again, dream again, or even feel like yourself again after losing the love of your life, you're not alone.  Today, you will hear from Rachel Powel, a previous guest of A Widow's Heart, whose journey through heartbreaking loss reminds us that while grief changes us, it doesn't have to define us. In today's conversation, you'll find a little hope, a little peace, and another reason to trust Jesus with your heart.  Rachel Powel is a contributing author in the Scars to Stars anthropology book series and the founder of Hope Speaker, where she serves as a Christian widow coach. You can learn more about Rachel and her ministry at hopespeaker.com.

it's shameless book promotion time! i've already shared poetry from my collections ‘a distilled spirit' and ‘scotch & scars.' now we move along to my 3rd collection from 2021, ‘from my front steps.' unlike the books preceding it, where my poetry was selected to make a collection, this was my first attempt at actually writing for a collection. it became a breakthrough of sorts for me. while covid-19 shut life down during the summer of 2020, i decided on a challenge: in only a few days and while sitting atop my front steps, i would write a small collection to whatever i was witnessing or feeling. what came through were the first tellings of my newfound spirituality, my trademark ruminations and a tale of unrequited love. ‘from my front steps' is available on amazon. if you enjoy it, please indulge me the favor of a review. today's selection is: ‘prophecies and promises' my tarot spoke of a storm comingbut the weatherman didn't warn meso i poured a bourbon and a beerand took to my front steps hopingto divine what the fine lines of my uni-ball pen conjuredwithin a one subject notebooklacking the muscle to supportthe entirety of my complexity something i have endured thru thisthe celtic cross spread of my lifewhile atop the horizon goliaths gatheredchurning in tease of prophecies and promisesi have waited for in unwavering faithtortured by sutured lips of spiritwhose grand notebook far dwarfsmy own.*#barflypoet#josephapinto© Joseph A.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.A child grows up learning that love can arrive in a barrel, but comfort cannot. That tension sits at the heart of our conversation with Grenadian director, producer, and creative industry strategist Meschida Phillip, whose documentary work asks what migration costs families long after the plane takes off. We trace how the Grenada Revolution, early separation, and years of “waiting” shaped her sense of connection and pushed her toward filmmaking as a way to name what Caribbean families often keep silent. Meschida shares the story behind her feature documentary Scars of Our Mother's Dreams, grounded in Dr. Claudette Crawford-Brown's concept of “barrel children,” where parents migrate for opportunity while children remain at home with relatives. We talk about emotional trauma, reunification, and why seeing these stories on screen lands differently than reading them. Meschida also pulls back the curtain on responsible documentary practice, from deep research and interviews to building a film that works as an archive and a conversation starter for Caribbean history, culture, and healing. We then zoom out to the film industry itself, including Caribbean Tales Media Group's Cross-Continental Forum and what Black diaspora collaboration can look like when it's intentional. Meschida breaks down the real barriers Caribbean filmmakers face funding infrastructure, banking access, co-production limits, and distribution networks and paints a vivid vision of Global South co-production funds, direct Caribbean Africa pipelines, and a market that rewards cultural specificity instead of asking creators to dilute it. Meschida Philip is a filmmaker, producer, creative-industry strategist, Executive Director of Mprojekts Creative Group, and Founder and Festival Director of the 12°N, 61°W Grenada Film Festival. She is a director, producer, and creative industries strategist working at the intersection of film production and screen industry development in the Caribbean. With over 20 years of professional experience, including more than a decade leading regional initiatives, her work focuses on positioning the Caribbean as an originating creative economy, capable of developing, financing, and exporting its own stories through equitable international co-production. Her work spans both content creation and industry development, with a focus on co-production frameworks, talent pipelines, and market access for creators in small island developing states.This episode was created in collaboration with Caribbean Tales Media Group to highlight the annual Cross-Continental Forum, a curated, decolonial co-production hub specifically designed to connect Black producers across Africa, the Caribbean, Canada, Europe and the Americas. It offers a structured pathway from information sharing to treaty-driven deals and market access. As an intensive hybrid accelerator, it functions as a “strategic gateway” to co-productions, beginning with an online Accelerator covering legal, financial and distribution frameworks, followed by two in-person events including a pitch showcase.Editor's Note: Philips participated in the Cross-Continental Forum with Canary, a documentary project that was in development at the time. She is credited as the project's director and co-producer. Scars of Our Mother's Dreams was not the project presented at the Forum, however it was screened at the festival. Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts -  Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?

"Wounds to Scars, Part 4: Jesus;" John 19:23-37, 20:19-29

Jake Marmer, Sophia DuRose, Michelle Taransky, and Ken Paul Rosenthal join Al Filreis in the Wexler Studio at Kelly Writers House to discuss two poems by Julia Vinograd, "Personal Poem" and "For Schindler's List and Other Things."

Colin Burgeson is a blues/rock guitarist, singer and songwriter from Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. His music blends soulful blues, catchy rock n' roll guitar riffs and soaring melodic leads to create a sound that can be both relaxed and slow, and upbeat and energetic. In his guitar and vocal work, you'll hear a sound influenced by the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, Gary Moore, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and much more!            Colin developed a love for music starting at a young age, primarily from watching his father, Eric Burgeson. Eric was a career musician who spent time in the late 80s touring with British rock band Foghat. He began taking guitar lessons from his father at age 9 and started writing songs and joined his first band by age 15. After his first band dissolved, he focused on his studies for a few years and briefly pursued a career in law enforcement.            But his passion for music never faded, and he continued to write music and hone his guitar skills until teaming up with longtime friend and bandmate Seamus Gleason, who would later perform drums on his debut solo album, to form heavy metal band Knight of Tears. The band would spend the next two years performing at various venues and festivals in the inland northwest, and released a self titled EP in 2016.             As Knight of Tears became inactive in the summer of 2016, an opportunity arose, and Colin successfully auditioned for and joined Spokane hard rock band Invasive. He would spend the next three years with Invasive, touring throughout Idaho, Washington and Oregon, opening for popular touring acts such as Quiet Riot, Steel Panther, Metal Church and more, and contributed guitar tracks to the singles “Sea of Black” and “Scars.” After vocalist Gary Cook left the band in 2019, the remaining members would reconvene to form hard rock/heavy metal band Psidium. Psidium would release the album “Blood in the Water” in 2021, which led to Colin's initial partnership with Pavement Entertainment.            While he enjoyed writing and performing in the hard rock and heavy metal style he had been doing for the past several years, he eventually discovered that it was no longer his passion. After listening to records by Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gary Moore, he decided to pursue a solo career in blues and blues-rock music, while also developing himself as a lead vocalist and frontman. During the recording of their second album in 2022, Psidium would become inactive, and he would go on to join classic rock cover band Laketown Sound and finish writing what would become his debut solo album. Psidium officially disbanded in 2023, and Colin shifted his focus to his solo career, completing the album in the fall of 2025.            Currently, Colin is performing at festivals and events in the Inland Northwest with Laketown Sound, while preparing to release his debut solo album, “From Sunshine Into Shadow,” with tour dates and performances to follow!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

We are in a series called “It Is Well With My Soul.” As we have learned, a soul is made up of mind, will, and emotions. It’s our thoughts, feelings, and decisions. Proverbs 4 says to guard it above all things because all the issues of our lives are sourced in our souls, and it’s easy to see why. In this series, we have talked about the fact that our soul occupies the same space as our mental health. In fact, one of the main reasons we’re talking about this in church is that it is impossible for a person to be spiritually healthy and mentally unhealthy at the same time. Today is the pivot point in this series. We’ve spent a few weeks making the connection between spiritual and mental health, and we’ve explored some examples to help you identify areas of need in your own life. At the same time, we have tried to strip away the shame and stigma, so people can feel free to get the help they need for whatever they are going through. We’ve spent a lot of time talking about the problems, but this week, we’re going to start talking about solutions, beginning with Psalm 23 and how the Lord restores our soul with green pastures and still waters.

If you've ever sat in a consultation room wondering what the difference is between all those laser machines — this episode is for you. Dr. Judith Borger, board-certified physician and medical director of Concierge Medical Arts, breaks down energy-based devices by skin concern, so you can walk in informed and walk out glowing.  What We Cover Pigmentation & Uneven Skin Tone Sun spots, age spots, melasma, and dullness — Dr. Borger explains how IPL targets melanin, what "peppering" means and why it's actually a good sign, and how the Light & Bright treatment handles pigmentation and redness in one session. Vascular Concerns — Redness, Rosacea & Veins Not all redness is the same. Dr. Borger walks through the difference between treating diffuse rosacea versus visible facial and leg veins, and which devices reach which vessels. Skin Resurfacing — Texture, Pores, Scars & Fine Lines If your goal is smoother, clearer skin, this is your segment. Dr. Borger covers fractional laser resurfacing, thermo-mechanical treatments, and why traditional microneedling still earns its place in a comprehensive treatment plan. Skin Tightening & Lifting Loose skin, loss of firmness, jowling, crepey necks — Dr. Borger explains the difference between surface-level and deep-tissue tightening, including treatments that reach the same foundational layer targeted in surgical facelifts. Laser Hair Removal The Lutronic Clarity II's dual-wavelength system makes it safe for all skin types — and why most patients call it virtually painless.   Dr. Judith Borger Links: www.theaestheticdoctor.com www.instagram.com/doctorborger

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Scars, Service, and Built-to-Lead Resilience: Turning Struggle Into Strength Guest, Keith Grounsell, a 28-year law enforcement veteran, two-time Chief of Police, former DEA Special Agent, international police advisor, entrepreneur, speaker, and multi-book author Back by popular demand, this week's guest will be Keith Grounsell. Keith is a veteran law enforcement leader with nearly 30 years at the city, county, federal and international levels. A former deep undercover narcotics officer and 2-time Chief of Police. He is the author of more than 12 books. You can find all of Keith's book at his author page on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Keith-P.-Grounsell/author/B08J456MMW?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1773710088&sr=1-1&shoppingPortalEnabled=true A Night of Hope After Hurt In this episode of Breaking the Silence, host Dr. Gregory Williams opens from his home near the Texas Medical Center in Houston, welcoming listeners to a Sunday evening conversation about trauma, healing, and perseverance. He reminds the audience that the show's purpose is to give people something useful they can carry into the week, whether for themselves or someone they care about. He also notes that the program is approaching seven years on the air, making the episode part of a long-running effort to help people break the silence around personal pain. The Value That Trauma Cannot Destroy Before introducing his guest, Dr. Williams offers two illustrations about value after damage. First, he uses a $100 bill to show that even when something is crumpled, stepped on, or dirtied, its value remains unchanged. Then he tells the story of a broken antique vase repaired with gold, making the cracks visible but even more beautiful and valuable. He applies both images to survivors of sexual abuse, domestic violence, trafficking, emotional abuse, verbal abuse, and other forms of trauma, emphasizing that their worth has not been diminished by what was done to them. Scars as Testimonies of Healing Dr. Williams connects the broken-vase image to spiritual healing, saying God does not pretend that wounds never happened but instead binds broken pieces together in a way that turns scars into testimonies. He cites Psalm 147:3, which says God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. His message is that survivors may still carry visible cracks, but those scars can become signs of victory rather than defeat. He also acknowledges his own ongoing healing process, describing progress as sometimes taking two steps forward and one step back. Keith Grounsell Returns by Popular Demand Dr. Williams welcomes Keith Grounsell, a veteran law enforcement leader, former deep undercover narcotics officer, two-time police chief, international law enforcement professional, and author of more than a dozen books. Dr. Williams says Keith is returning for a third appearance by popular demand and highlights both his leadership experience and writing career. Keith responds to the opening message by saying that struggles and scars have made him stronger, more empathetic, and more committed to helping others. Failure, Work Ethic, and the Drive to Help Others Keith explains that his own life has included failures, struggles, and setbacks, but he does not allow those failures to define him. Instead, he says the way a person rebounds from failure is what reveals their character, especially in leadership. He also discusses being diagnosed with a learning disability early in life and how that challenge forced him to work harder, memorize more intentionally, and develop a strong work ethic. Keith says that what first seemed like a handicap later became fuel for his drive, education, writing, and leadership. Teen Takeovers, Social Media, and Personal Responsibility Dr. Williams asks Keith about recent incidents involving large groups of youth taking over public areas, including one in downtown Houston. Keith frames these “teen takeovers” as criminal activity tied to declining personal responsibility, social media influence, weak accountability, and breakdowns in family structure. He argues that parents and caregivers must be held responsible when minors participate in destructive behavior, while adults involved should face serious consequences. He also points to the role of viral attention, influencer culture, and online reward systems that encourage shocking or chaotic behavior. Leadership, Iran, and Peace Through Strength Dr. Williams also asks Keith to comment on breaking news about a reported peace agreement involving Iran. Keith says effective leadership requires conviction, courage, and the ability to ignore constant criticism. He praises Donald Trump's approach as “peace through strength,” saying Trump showed restraint while still demonstrating power. Keith argues that the prevention of a broader regional war and the limiting of Iran's nuclear ambitions required unusually difficult negotiation and strong leadership, though he notes the agreement still needed to be signed. Writing, Discipline, and the System Behind Many Books After the break, the conversation shifts to Keith's writing process. Keith explains that he now devotes around sixty hours a week to writing and has developed a system that allows him to complete books efficiently. Instead of trying to perfect each chapter immediately, he focuses on getting the story down first, often using dictation in Microsoft Word and then editing afterward. He also discusses the value of self-publishing, retaining creative rights, and transforming his books into scenario-driven online leadership courses through the Institute of Global Integrity and Leadership. Books on Policing, Leadership, and Character Keith describes several upcoming or recent books, including a leadership book on community policing, a book for frontline law enforcement supervisors, and a book about field training officers. He also discusses his children's books in the Kids' Character and Confidence series, which he created to help families have deeper conversations about values, boundaries, kindness, and personal growth. One book focuses on inappropriate touching and the importance of children being able to say no when something feels wrong. Keith also shares plans for a future book inspired by his adopted son, who was born drug-addicted and later faced developmental challenges. Built to Lead and the Daily Standard of Discipline Dr. Williams closes the interview by focusing on Keith's book Built to Lead, especially the chapter “Discipline Is the Leader's Daily Standard.” Keith says discipline begins with self-discipline, because people are always watching how leaders live. He describes daily routines involving health, exercise, focus, goal-setting, and protecting one's most productive time of day. Dr. Williams and Keith discuss the importance of knowing one's peak mental hours, reducing distractions, and using that time for the most important work. The episode closes with Dr. Williams reminding listeners that storms eventually pass, hope remains, and no one should ever say they are worthless.

"You drew stars around my scars, but now I'm bleeding." This week, we're doing a Show & Tell episode on one of Taylor's most recurring literary devices: scars. From the ice-cold wounds of “Cold As You” from her debut album to the wistful “cardigan” of folklore and the Kingpin-Taylor energy of “CANCELLED!” from The Life of a Showgirl, we trace how Taylor's use of scars has evolved from pure pain to reclaimed power. We talk Odysseus, Harry Potter, Death Eaters (yes, really), shattering glass ceilings, and what it means to turn a mark of suffering into a VIP passport. Join us as we explore what scars say about heroes, villains, and the very specific experience of being a woman in your 30s who has finally decided the wounds were worth it.
