Despite increased awareness of the importance of mental health, many men still hesitate to seek support. While they may appear to manage their mental health challenges well, statistics tell a different story.Several factors contribute to men's reluctance to pursue counseling, including cultural and societal norms, issues related to masculinity, and fear of the unknown. However, research shows that the benefits of talk therapy far outweigh the difficulties of dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, or depression on one's own.Going to therapy is much like going to the gym: to get stronger, individuals need a coach, commitment, and a bit of discomfort to maximize their goals.

In today's solo episode, I open up about the ongoing evolution of my grief journey after losing my husband, Paul. I reflect on how my grief has shifted over time—from a gaping wound to a quiet, ever-present companion. It hasn't been easy. The emotional challenges, the deep inner work, and the conscious choices I've had to make are all part of this path toward finding moments of peace and even joy. I share from the heart about how grief transforms as life moves forward, how healing doesn't mean forgetting, and why it's so important to honor your own unique process. Whether you're just beginning your grief journey or have been walking it for years, I hope this episode brings you comfort, understanding, and a reminder that healing is possible—even when it feels out of reach.

As a paramedic, Rachel spent many years supporting others through medical and mental health emergencies. And although she was trained to recognise the signs of mental ill health in others, it was something she never imagined she would experience herself - that is, until she fell pregnant. Known for being someone who doesn't cry, Rachel was unexpectedly confronted by crippling anxiety, an overwhelming sadness, uncontrollable sobbing, and a paralysing sense of hopelessness that didn't go away until her daughter was born. For the ‘helper' who usually looks after others, she was left feeling disoriented. In this moving episode, Rachel speaks candidly about her lived experience with hyperemesis gravidarum and the antenatal depression and anxiety that overshadowed her pregnancy. Together, we explore: the shame that can accompany perinatal mental ill health and how it delays recovery the uphill battle many mothers face by constantly being told their symptoms are ‘normal' why mental health care should not be limited to postpartum the crucial role of our loved ones in recovery, and how the right support can make all the difference. Rachel's story is a powerful reminder of the often-overlooked importance of mental health care during pregnancy. It's a story about hope and finding light at the end of the tunnel. Above all, it's a story about the power of sharing your experiences openly, asking for help, and advocating for yourself.   EPISODE SPONSOR This episode of Perinatal Stories Australia is proudly sponsored by Mums Matter Psychology—because your mental health matters.

Even if you've done years of therapy, learned to manage your emotions, and built self-awareness, your nervous system might still be stuck in survival mode. But why is this? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie dives into the biology behind how oxidative stress at the cellular level can keep your body trapped in a trauma response. No matter how much mindset work you've done! She breaks down how unresolved biological stress sends ongoing danger signals to your nervous system, fueling anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic dysregulation. You'll hear more about: Why trauma isn't just stored in your mind but in your mitochondria and DNA How oxidative stress acts like “rust” inside your cells and blocks emotional regulation The link between oxidative damage and PTSD, depression, and chronic illness Why your body needs energy, not willpower, to heal from trauma What actually helps repair oxidative damage and stabilize your nervous system How to use food, supplements, and sleep routines to support deep biological healing Whether you're supporting others on their healing journey or navigating your own, this episode reveals the hidden cellular barriers that can keep the nervous system stuck and offers practical ways to work with the body's biology to create real progress.

You'll learn why some modalities fall flat, what to do when your growth plateaus, and how to stop chasing the “healing high” that leaves you empty.

Send us a text- On-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreAt the beginning of the couples therapy session, I like to ask a first question - 'How did you guys meet?' Telling the story will reveal the greater truth about where the couple are at in the conflict. Has the loving got snuffed out or is there a glimmer of light that may still be turned up. Is there a split agenda? Are there ulterior motives for one or both turning up for counselling? Has the conflict become entrenched and each dug in for a war of attrition?We can teach our brains to say the right think, that we are expected to say, but often that is not the full truth! Just like the reply to the question - 'How are you doing?'  - evokes a knee jerk automatic answer - 'I am fine thank you'.Body language will give a more truthful answer as to where the couple are at and more accurately represent what is really going on in the heart.Telling the story of 'how did you meet' - will give a helpful calibration of where the couple are at and the nature of the work to follow, because of the toll the conflict has taken, before they sought help. As human beings, we tend to push it too far before reaching out for the help that we knew that we needed long ago.At The Kairos Centre, we use less 'Talk Therapy' and more sculpting with representative visual objects, to get to what the heart is really saying. It really is 'a heart thing'. The heart tends to tell the truth, if you can get to it. We get to it at The Kairos Centre. Then we know how to move forward with the work of counselling - with truth as the focus - not unconscious half-truths!Journey with us to reclaim your life, bring colour to life, without shame.Here is my fund raising page.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 748 Are your unresolved childhood wounds hijacking your relationships and keeping you stuck in depression or anxiety? Neuro-Rewiring Expert Mike Zeller joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 748, to share how healing your protector parts can transform conflict into deeper connection and trust, why psychedelics can reopen critical social learning periods and give you access to the hidden programming of your mind, and how to move from fear-driven protector parts into authentic flow state. "Our core longing as human beings is connection and love. We think that the wounded, victim, angry self is who we are because that part is in the driver's seat, and we're identified with that feeling. When we do the neuro-rewiring work, we separate that enmeshment. And because of that separation, we can now recognize the patterns and awareness instead of being in it so much that we can't see." - Mike Zeller

Many people spend years in therapy and still struggle to feel truly safe in relationships. But why is this? The answer lies in the body. You can understand your trauma, but still feel unsafe. Oxytocin helps turn that understanding into actual feelings of safety in your body. Known as nature's most powerful anti-inflammatory, oxytocin plays a vital role in regulating the nervous system, forming secure connections, and shifting the body out of survival mode. In this episode, Dr. Aimie is joined by world-renowned oxytocin expert Dr. Sue Carter to discuss how this hormone holds the key to healing trauma, creating genuine safety, and forming secure connections. Dr. Carter has studied oxytocin for over four decades and reveals why this hormone is essential for moving from survival to thriving. In this conversation you hear why traditional talk therapy alone often falls short, how early life experiences program our capacity for connection, and practical tools for naturally increasing oxytocin to create a felt sense of safety in your body. You'll learn more about: How early attachment experiences shape your nervous system and relationships The difference between vasopressin and oxytocin in the stress response How trauma and chronic stress disrupt your ability to feel safe, even in loving relationships Why oxytocin is nature's “fire extinguisher” for inflammation and chronic illness Practical tools to support healing and regulate your nervous system And more! Whether you're a practitioner or someone navigating your own healing journey, this episode offers evidence-based insights into how your body creates its own pharmacy of healing hormones and why safety in relationships is the biological foundation for all healing   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Want to know more about the Safe and Sound Protocol mentioned in the episode?

Trauma isn't always about what happened - sometimes it's about what didn't. Lisa already felt anxious and lonely navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in a new country without the safety net of family or maternity care in her mother tongue. But this sense of isolation was only compounded by the absence of safety, connection, and support when Lisa's newborn was rushed away to the special care nursery without explanation, leaving her alone for hours. With her concerns about her baby's reflux dismissed for weeks, access to a mother's group denied because she was a second-time mum, and her mental health symptoms overlooked because she didn't ‘look' depressed - no matter where she turned, Lisa never felt seen, heard, or held. In fact, depression, PTSD, insomnia, and rage consumed her life for several years until she found the right psychologist who finally made her feel seen, heard, and held. Lisa's story emphatically stresses the importance of connection and being held during the perinatal period. Now, through her work, she helps create the very community she needed, and offers a message of hope for others walking the same path. In this episode, we explore: the added layers of isolation as an immigrant the vital role of compassion and humanity in maternity care the path to recovery with IFS, EMDR, neurofeedback, meditation, and Maternal Journal the reminder that the bond with our baby is capable of repair the need to advocate - always - for ourselves and for our children Tune in to Lisa's breath-taking story of trauma, healing, and reclaiming her power.   EPISODE SPONSOR This episode of Perinatal Stories Australia is proudly sponsored by Mums Matter Psychology—because your mental health matters.

What if your inability to change habits and reactions wasn't about lack of willpower or being lazy, but was actually about your body not having enough energy to make the change? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why so many people feel stuck in old patterns or habits, expanding on her conversation with Katie Wells from Episode 123. She answers a question from Jessica, a therapist, about why her clients intellectually understand their problems but can't seem to make changes stick and feel drained after therapy. Dr. Aimie explains how trauma becomes an energy problem in your body. She breaks down what happens inside your cells when trauma gets stored and why healing requires energy that many people simply don't have. You'll hear more about: How trauma affects your body's mitochondria (aka the cellular powerhouses) The warning signs that your energy system is struggling Why feeling exhausted after therapy means your body doesn't have the energy to heal (Hint: You're NOT actually failing!) Simple steps you can take today to boost energy levels naturally If you know what your problems are but can't seem to change them, or if you're helping someone who's stuck in this cycle, this episode offers practical steps that actually work with your biology instead of against it. To hear the full conversation, listen to Episode 123: Light, Sleep, and High-Impact Habits to Heal Your Nervous System

Is your relationship needing a serious breakthrough? Are you on the verge of divorce, even though you may not want it? But you can't seem to find the connection again? Have you tried everything like talk therapy, podcasts, books, meditations, etc? Then this episode is for you! Kayla is joined by trauma-informed somatic marriage coach and somatic practitioner, CEO of I Do Breakthrough, and the proud host of the top 3% globally ranked podcast, Your Breakthrough Blueprint. Becky shares her journey of transforming her marriage. They discuss the importance of understanding attachment styles, the impact of trauma on relationships, and how Becky's method works differently from traditional therapy. Becky emphasizes the significance of self-compassion and the need to dissolve shame in the healing process, particularly for high-performing women. Takeaways Attachment styles play a crucial role in relationships. High-performing women often disassociate from their bodies. Dissolving shame is essential for healing. Self-compassion is a key component of recovery. Somatic techniques can be applied to various life areas. Healing can lead to both relationship repair and personal growth. The nervous system's role is vital in emotional regulation.

Did you know that your body could literally be "rusting from the inside out" when stuck in trauma? This biological reality explains why so many develop chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, and other mysterious health conditions. In this mini-episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why trauma creates chronic illness, building on her discussion from Episode 122 about addressing trauma stored in the body. She answers a listener's question about why her clients seem to struggle with chronic health issues and what can actually be done about it. You'll learn more on: What oxidative stress is (and how being in survival state can cause it to accumulate) Why chronic illness can show up decades after traumatic experiences  Specific steps you can take to reduce oxidative stress A simple technique to shift out of shutdown throughout the day Why talk therapy alone isn't enough If you're struggling with chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, or other unexplained health issues, this episode offers practical insights for addressing these symptoms at the cellular level.

What if we're approaching mental health all wrong? A revolutionary new therapy is debunking popular therapy narratives and changing how we treat anxiety and overthinking.We're continuing our Mental Health Awareness Month series with this introduction to Metacognitive Therapy (MCT), a groundbreaking new approach to treating anxiety, overthinking, OCD, depression, panic attacks, and more, without the usual coping strategies and trauma processing.Unlike traditional talk therapy, Metacognitive Therapy helps people break free from the cycle of worry, rumination, and distress by targeting the way we think about our thoughts — not the thoughts themselves.This is an especially exciting topic for me, as I've been working with the team at metacognitivetherapy.com as the Head Of Content for the past year, creating mental health resources including a website, social media channels, an app and a new podcast that's still to come. MCT might just revolutionize how we treat mental health disorders.I'm joined by Clinical Psychologist Sunniva Itland, founder of one of Norway's largest private psychology clinics and co-founder of metacognitivetherapy.com, to unpack this transformative therapy that's changing lives worldwide.This is for anyone who hasn't found a therapy or modality that's really working to improve their mental health. Welcome to anti-therapy therapy.Tune in to hear about:How MCT differs from CBT, talk therapy, and other traditional approaches to anxiety disorders, OCD and depressionSunniva's personal journey overcoming social anxiety using metacognitive therapy approachesWhy trauma-focused and emotion-processing therapies may be keeping you stuckWhy people develop mental health conditions VS othersHow common mental habits like overthinking, symptom monitoring, and reassurance-seeking fuel anxietyRecognizing unhelpful metabeliefs like “worrying keeps me safe” or “I can't control my thoughtsWhy positive affirmations, reframing, mindfulness, and traditional coping strategies often backfireResearch-backed techniques for immediately reducing anxiety, like worry postponement and detached mindfulnessMetacognitive Therapy resources:metacognitivetherapy.comhttps://www.instagram.com/metacognitive_therapy/https://www.linkedin.com/company/metacognitive-therapy/ For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

When Amber-Lee found herself unexpectedly pregnant, she knew life was about to change - but nothing could have prepared her for the profound impact that a complicated pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period would have on her mental health.

Send us a textWe are all under the same Sun. From Praia to Lagos, so much remains the same. It's always fascinated me how much, from Nigeria to Barbados to Jamaica to Angola to Guinea to Mozambique to Haiti to Senegal to Cape Verde, felt like a simulation. All these black men with the same disposition and mannerisms and bluetooths hanging out of their ear. I can't describe to you how funny all these cultures collectively are to me. Separated but you can't hide the roots. But are real conversations actually happening? Are these black men saying, “I'm going through it right now, I'm really struggling with ____”? Not so much that I've seen. We have to give people permission to be themselves sometimes. To say, “you can say how you actually feel and still be manly.” I guess that's one of my missions here. Anyway, Tomi & I sat down to put it on the line & air some dirty laundry. “You can't ruin a true connection by saying how you feel.” I believe that to my core. “The Brothers” (2001) served as the inspo for this one here, hope you enjoy. -WV 

In this episode, Alex talks with Charna Cassell, a Trauma-Trained Psychotherapist and Sexuality Coach  from Oakland who combines somatic coaching, bodywork, and energy medicine in her practice. Charna explains why talk therapy often fails to create change in trauma recovery, and how physical practices can transform the nervous system in ways cognitive understanding cannot.Charna shares her journey through "boundary bootcamp" at Good Vibrations and her training at the Strozzi Institute. "I really needed physical practice," she says about why ten years of talk therapy created awareness but didn't change her nervous system responses.Throughout the conversation, Charna demonstrates somatic exercises that reveal embodied habits. She explains how our bodies show our patterns under minimal stress and introduces the concept that "until you have an embodied No, you can't have a genuine Yes." The episode covers how repetition creates new neural pathways—like a deer path that becomes visible after being walked repeatedly—and how practice transforms boundaries from rigid or absent to compassionate.Key Highlights: 00:00 Introduction to Charna04:06 Boundary bootcamp experience10:15 Strozzi Institute training14:47 Current practice overview18:36 Contact exercise demonstration24:02 Freeze response explained27:45 Boundary progression stages31:42 Healing relationship boundaries33:16 Bodywork benefits described37:54 Kundalini yoga journey40:31 Managing collective fear42:27 Breath of fire technique44:04 Ways to work with CharnaLinks & ResourcesWebsite: https://charnacassell.com/Website:https://passionatelife.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laidopenpodcastFacebookL: https://www.facebook.com/LaidOpenPodcast/ Podcast: https://charnacassell.com/laidopen/Find us Online: Sign up for our newsletter to learn more about the power of embodiment:https://www.redbeardsomatictherapy.com/Follow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RedBeardSomaticTherapyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/redbeardsomatictherapyLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandermgreene

Why are so many people still stuck—even after therapy, breathwork, and nervous system regulation?In this episode, Heather and Kent McKean explore why true healing often eludes people: the subconscious mind is being left out of the process. They unpack the limitations of somatic healing when used in isolation, explain how trauma is first interpreted and stored by the brain, and why lasting transformation must involve subconscious rewiring. Sharing real client stories, scientific insights, and practical wisdom, Heather and Kent lay out a powerful case for an integrated approach that addresses mind, body, and spirit—so you can stop coping and start healing for real.

Just when she thought the debilitating anxiety of her pregnancy was behind her, Natalie found herself pushed to the brink by insomnia. What began as ten sleepless nights quickly unravelled into terrifying hallucinations and inescapable panic that she would never be able to sleep again. In this raw and deeply moving episode, we sit with Natalie for part two of her story as she reveals the emotional toll of sleep deprivation and divulges one of the most vulnerable moments of her life: the unexpected mental health crisis she faced in early postpartum. With heart-wrenching honesty, Natalie recounts the moment she asked her husband to leave the room so she could confide in the Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team (CATT) about her hallucination, the bittersweet decision to separate from her newborn baby in the hopes of finally getting some sleep, the desperation she felt when her prescribed sleeping medication did not work, and the unwavering support of her family as they witnessed the darkest hours of her crisis in the emergency room and the acute mental health ward. This is not just a story of survival. It's a story about the profound difference that compassionate care can make, about the urgent need for better access to mother-and-baby mental health services, and about the importance of breaking the silence around perinatal mental illness. Above all, it's a reminder that in our darkest moments, being held - both physically and emotionally - can be a lifeline. Whether you're a parent, partner, healthcare provider, or simply someone who cares, Natalie's story will stay with you for a long time and show you that there is help, there is hope. Please note, this episode discusses suicidal ideation.

Whenever Kristy struggled with anxiety or depression in the past, she coped by keeping herself busy. Even when she endured years and years of IVF and ICSI, she coped by keeping herself busy. But when she experienced birth trauma and a sudden decline in her mental health during postpartum, none of her previous coping mechanisms could be relied on. Instead of throwing herself into exercising three times a day, working on weekends, starting projects, learning a new skill, doing puzzles, building Lego, or reading, Kristy was confronted by the stillness of motherhood. Then, after nine months of depression, culminating in suicidal ideation, Kristy went to her GP for help, where she was confronted by an unexpected, but enlightening, diagnosis: ADHD. In this heartfelt and insightful episode, Kristy shares the many ways she is managing her ADHD and mental health in motherhood, while reflecting on the lessons she has learnt along her journey and celebrating all the friends who have helped her every step of the way. If you're an older mum, if you're a mum who has undergone fertility treatments, if you're a mum with a history of anxiety or depression, if you're a mum who is navigating ADHD in motherhood, or if you're just an all-round awesome human being, then this episode is for you.   EPISODE SPONSOR This episode of Perinatal Stories Australia is proudly sponsored by Mums Matter Psychology—because your mental health matters.

You're not alone. While talk therapy works for many issues, PMDD relationships require a completely different approach – one that provides strategic tools, not just a space to vent about problems.During PMDD Awareness Month, I'm tackling one of the most common frustrations I hear from clients: "We tried therapy but nothing changed." The truth is that most therapists, even excellent ones, simply don't understand the unique challenges of premenstrual dysphoric disorder. They treat PMDD relationship problems like any other relationship issue, missing the cyclical nature of symptoms and the specific tools needed to navigate them.Group counseling designed specifically for PMDD relationships offers what traditional therapy can't. When you join others navigating the same challenges, something powerful happens – you realize you're not alone, you learn from others' experiences, and you gain access to tools created specifically for PMDD's unique patterns. Instead of just talking about your problems, you receive practical strategies to stop the PMDD breakup cycle, communicate effectively during the luteal phase, and transform how you and your partner respond to symptoms.The most transformative aspect of group work is breaking the isolation. Many people hide the true impact of PMDD from friends and family for fear of judgment, creating a lonely struggle. In a dedicated PMDD group, you no longer have to explain what PMDD is or justify how it affects you – everyone already gets it. This shared understanding creates a foundation for real healing and growth.Ready to transform your approach to PMDD? Join us for the PMDD Power Couples Group Counseling Membership starting April 8th. For PMDD Awareness Month, I'm offering a special rate of just $49 (regularly $149) to make this life-changing support accessible to more couples. Don't let another luteal phase pass without the tools you need!

For those experiencing Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), traditional talk therapy can actually intensify relationship struggles rather than resolve them. Drawing from nearly two decades of personal experience with PMDD and extensive work with couples, I uncover why this seemingly helpful approach often backfires.Words shape reality—this principle lies at the heart of why talk therapy fails PMDD relationships. When you're already battling hormonal fluctuations that trigger negative thoughts about your partner, verbally rehearsing these problems without strategic solutions only reinforces neural pathways of dissatisfaction. Your brain doesn't distinguish between venting and programming—it simply absorbs whatever message you repeatedly deliver.The most dangerous aspect is how talk therapy can create a powerful feedback loop: PMDD focuses you on relationship negatives, therapy encourages expressing these negatives, your brain interprets this as confirmation the relationship is problematic, and well-meaning friends or therapists naturally suggest you should leave. Meanwhile, the underlying PMDD patterns driving these perceptions remain unaddressed.Breaking this cycle requires more than awareness—it demands specific tools designed for PMDD's unique challenges. One powerful technique is creating a "follicular phase letter" documenting what you appreciate about your partner when symptoms subside, then reading it daily during your luteal phase as a concrete reminder of what PMDD temporarily blinds you to. This isn't toxic positivity; it's strategic counterbalancing of PMDD's overwhelming negativity.If you're committed to your relationship but struggling with PMDD's effects, join our PMDD Power Couples community where we combine understanding with practical strategies. Learn to speak what you seek until you see what you spoke—because with the right approach, PMDD doesn't have to dictate your relationship's destiny.

If you've done the healing work but still find yourself battling self-doubt, fear, or questioning whether it really worked—this episode is for you. Penny Chiasson dives deep into the nuances of personal growth, exploring how even well-intended self-improvement efforts can sometimes sabotage success. Have you truly healed, or are you unintentionally reinforcing old patterns? Are you overanalyzing every thought, assuming there's always something "wrong" to fix? Could your personal growth journey be keeping you stuck instead of moving forward? By the end of this episode, you'll learn how to differentiate between random thoughts vs. subconscious patterns, why overanalyzing emotions can work against you, and how to fully step into the identity of success. Your Mind Creates Meaning – Just because a thought pops up doesn't mean it's a deep-seated issue. Learn to identify which thoughts deserve attention and which can be dismissed. The Danger of Overanalyzing – Constantly unpacking every emotion or thought can create unnecessary struggles. Not every passing doubt is a sign that something needs "healing." Healing Requires an Identity Shift – To truly step into a healed version of yourself, you must release the identity of "someone who never gets lasting results." You can't embody healing and also believe “this won't last” at the same time. The Power of Awareness – When negative thoughts arise, how you respond determines everything. A triggered emotional reaction signals unresolved patterns, while neutral curiosity signals growth. Mindfulness = Mental Mastery – The ability to slow down and observe your thoughts in real-time puts you in control of your emotions and outcomes.
