We upgraded Foundry, discovered a few surprise “features,” and then dove headfirst into the hope-and-fear-fueled mayhem of Daggerheart—join us for mechanics, emotions, and at least one character death that felt really personal. This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast is sponsored by DungeonFlow.app, your one-stop shop for streamlining game prep and powering up your sessions. Whether you're navigating Daggerheart's emotional economy or just trying to remember what room had the spiky floor trap, DungeonFlow has your back. With encounter builders, random traps, and mood-setting room descriptions, it's like having a co-GM who doesn't argue about initiative order. Sign up now at DungeonFlow.app and take your table from chaos to controlled chaos. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew kicks things off with a heroic tale of bravery: upgrading Foundry to version 13. With great power comes great mod compatibility checks—but hey, the new features are worth the hiccups! Once the tech dust settles, the gang dives into Daggerheart, the shiny new TTRPG from the folks at Darrington Press. From hit points and stress to hope, fear, and “please don't let me die here,” the team explores Daggerheart's unique approach to narrative and mechanics. They debate the crunchy bits, the soft edges, and the places where player creativity takes center stage. Along the way, they find just enough time to question the currency system, roast the movement rules (with love), and embrace the initiative mechanic that requires actual trust. Scary stuff. Key Takeaways: Foundry v13 brings new power to your table—but double-check those mods before you click "update." Daggerheart's mechanics are fueled by hope and fear, which is either brilliant or a therapy session waiting to happen. The resting system adds strategic depth without slowing the narrative. Resource management includes stress and HP, because feelings matter. Tiered play defines your character's journey, from barely surviving to epic storytelling. Armor rules with damage thresholds add depth—but not so much math you'll need a spreadsheet. Equipment tiers create clear gear progression, and swords still go “stab.” The initiative system promotes teamwork by letting players choose who goes next. Trust issues? Might wanna talk about that. The death system gives players dramatic, meaningful choices—finally, death with flair. The system is setting-agnostic, perfect for fantasy, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic baking contests, or whatever you're into. Movement mechanics could use polish, but if you've ever argued over diagonals in D&D, you'll feel right at home. Tune in for mechanics, drama, heartfelt dice rolls—and yes, a very suspicious shrub.

In "This Week in WordPress #339," Nathan Wrigley is joined by Zach Stepek, Tim Nash, and Remkus de Vries to discuss new educational WordPress courses on security and performance, as well as Nathan's new Podcaster Plus plugin seeking beta testers. The panel covers the upcoming WP Awards, lower-than-expected WordCamp US ticket sales, and the paused Tumblr-to-WordPress migration. They highlight updates to the WordPress developer blog, a new plugin called Better Loops, and whether default themes should be paused. We also have a lively debate on event sponsorships, AI's impact on content, and practical WordPress community updates.

Last week, we talked about dystopian overpopulation, so this week we're diving into dystopian population control with the 1976 cult classic Logan's Run. This movie is far from perfect, but it offers a lot: stunning set design, an original (if bizarre) plot, and a healthy dose of retro-futuristic quirkiness. Of course, in the world of Logan's Run, no one lives past 30—so both Greg and Mere are long dead by now. Luckily, they've dodged Carousel just long enough to bring you this episode.

In this episode of the Art of the Session series, I walk you through a phase of the play therapy process that's often overlooked—what happens on the way to the playroom. This moment may feel small, but it holds tremendous power to reinforce the child's sense of autonomy, predictability, and safety. I share how empowerment choices—offered consistently and predictably during the walk back—set the tone for the session and become a ritual that communicates "You are in control here." I offer real-life examples of how to work these choices into your routine, even if you're in a school, office building, or don't have a sink nearby. Whether it's picking a hallway, choosing which sanitizer to use, or deciding how to travel to the playroom (hopping, skipping, or sliding in socks), these micro-moments become powerful anchors of trust and consistency. This episode helps you refine the seemingly simple transitions into meaningful therapeutic opportunities.

In this episode, we step into 2 Chronicles 6–7 where Solomon responds to God's faithfulness with worship, humility, and a heartfelt prayer for the people of Israel. As the Temple is dedicated and filled with God's glory, we see how the Temple itself points forward to something greater: God's eternal presence with His people.Themes of this podcast: God's faithfulness invites our worship and dependence. God has fulfilled His promises—from dwelling among His people to establishing the Temple and Solomon's reign. In response, Solomon bows in worship, recognizing that God alone is the source of every good thing. Remembering God's faithfulness will naturally lead us to humility, gratitude, and trust.Prayer and repentance sustain the covenant relationship. Whether facing personal injustice, national defeat, or exile, the Israelites are invited to return to God through repentance. This foreshadows the New Covenant truth that God always hears the cries of a repentant heart.This earthly Temple foreshadow God's eternal presence. The Temple dedication was glorious, but even Solomon acknowledged God cannot be contained in buildings. From the Tabernacle to the Temple to the Church, every dwelling place of God points forward to His ultimate plan: our eternal home with Him.Show Notes:BlogFeasts and Festivals in the BibleWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette  welcomes Felix Arntz, a senior software engineer at Google, about his decade of contributions to the WordPress community. Felix shares insights on effective communication, persistence, and attention to detail in open-source collaboration. He highlights the importance of building relationships, learning from others, and embracing the welcoming nature of the WordPress community. The episode also introduces Felix's new "View Transitions" plugin, designed to enhance user experience. Listeners are encouraged to engage, contribute, and build connections within the WordPress ecosystem.Top Takeaways:Attention to Detail Is a Key Marker of ProfessionalismFelix and Michelle emphasized that small details—like capitalizing the "P" in WordPress—may seem trivial but are taken seriously by seasoned professionals. This attention to detail reflects pride in one's work and often becomes a litmus test for developers and marketers alike when assessing quality and seriousness.Thinking at Scale and Growing Gradually Are Crucial in Open Source Contribution: Felix discussed the importance of thinking at scale, especially when contributing to WordPress core. A feature might work well for a blog with 80 posts but break down on a site with tens of thousands. Additionally, contributors are encouraged to increase scope gradually, starting with bug fixes, so they can build trust, demonstrate commitment, and avoid burnout or disappointment when larger proposals stall.Personal Motivation Can Guide Your Niche in Open Source Work: Felix shared how his contributions to WordPress core initially grew out of real-world problems he encountered during freelance work. This insight reinforces the idea that contributors should follow their authentic interests and pain points when selecting where to focus their energy, making their efforts more sustainable and impactful.Relationships and Community Are the Heart of the WordPress Project: Michelle and Felix agreed that building personal relationships—whether at WordCamps, online, or through collaborative work—is not just rewarding personally, but also essential for project momentum. Felix shared how meeting someone briefly in person changes how online collaboration feels. Michelle told a moving story about how her community connections helped her navigate an inaccessible travel situation, underscoring the tangible power of WordPress friendships.Mentioned in the Show:This Week in WordPressFelix-Arntz.me

In this episode of 'Need Some Introduction,' hosts explore the new Dennis Lehane TV series 'Smoke' on Apple TV+. They discuss the show's mixed critical reception and delve into episodes one through three, comparing 'Smoke' to Lehane's previous series 'Blackbird.' Darren and Victor provide detailed analyses of the characters, plot developments, and their own theories regarding potential twists and constructs within the story, such as the possibility that what the audience sees might be the fictional narrative of a book written by the protagonist. Additional discussions include recent films like the F1 movie, '28 Years Later,' and upcoming blockbusters 'Superman' and 'Fantastic Four.' The conversation also touches on Brad Pitt's performance in the F1 movie, the polarized opinions on its execution, and potential crossovers between directors like Quentin Tarantino and David Fincher. The hosts round off the episode with anticipation for future reviews and analyses of ongoing series such as 'Dexter: Resurrection' and 'MurderBot.' mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com   00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 01:05 F1 Movie Review and Brad Pitt's Performance 08:25 Tarantino and Fincher: Upcoming Projects 17:23 Jurassic World and Summer Blockbusters 21:12 Dexter Resurrection and TV Reboots 25:10 Introduction to 'Smoke' TV Series 33:23 Analyzing the Lead Actor's Performance 33:57 Critiques and Character Dynamics 35:37 Exploring the Psychology of Arsonists 37:54 The Big Reveal and Its Implications 40:40 Character Relationships and Development 45:04 Theories and Speculations 01:01:50 Episode Three Reactions and Reviews 01:08:39 Analyzing the Music and Tone 01:09:08 Character Analysis: The Silly Pyro 01:10:55 Speculations and Theories 01:11:41 Episode Length and Structure 01:12:25 Character Performances and Dynamics 01:14:19 Calderon's Backstory and Themes of Denial 01:16:50 Constructs and Writing Techniques 01:28:44 Family Dynamics and Flashbacks 01:34:42 The Cat and Mouse Game 01:38:39 Upcoming Discussions and Final Thoughts

In this episode, I answer a question from Orla in Ireland about what to do when a child says they don't want to come to therapy anymore—and how to communicate that to parents. I break down two case examples and explain why child-led termination isn't reliable in CCPT, especially early in treatment. More often than not, these moments reflect resistance rather than readiness, and they can surface in any phase of therapy. I walk through the clinical criteria we use to determine true readiness for termination, share specific ways to guide parents through resistance and avoidance, and offer practical tips on structuring expectations using 5-session increments. I also talk about the importance of preserving the therapeutic relationship, even when kids push back. If you've ever felt unsure about how to advise families during the messy middle of the work, this episode will help you feel more confident and clear in your CCPT decision-making.

Part 1 Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi Summary"Ignite Me" is the third and final book in the "Shatter Me" series by Tahereh Mafi. The novel continues to follow the story of Juliette Ferrars, a young woman with the ability to kill with her touch. Having spent much of her life isolated and without love, Juliette now finds herself in a position of power and responsibility.In the beginning, Juliette struggles with her identity and the consequences of her powers. She has recently united with the rebels against the repressive regime known as The Reestablishment, led by the cruel Supreme Commander Anderson. Juliette is determined to take control of her own life and not be defined solely by her abilities or the people around her. As she grapples with her emotions and relationships, particularly with Adam Kent and Warner, she begins to understand the depths of her powers and her own potential.

In this episode, I respond to a thoughtful question from Dearbhla in Ireland about working with a 12-year-old client who prefers to talk rather than engage in traditional play. As children get older, CCPT sessions often look different—more conversational, more cognitive, and more activity-based. I explore how this developmental stage influences the nature of the session and why talking, even about seemingly mundane topics, is still meaningful. I also offer reassurance that when we stay true to the model—providing presence, acceptance, and relationship without pressure or agenda—we're doing exactly what the child needs. If you've ever wondered whether “just talking” in session is enough, or felt the pull to “do more,” this episode is your reminder to trust the process, trust the child, and trust the model.

In this episode, I answer a question from Hope in Kentucky about incorporating parents into the CCPT process. Her case involved a foster mom participating in session—and the outcome revealed why that's not aligned with the CCPT model. I explain how parent presence in the playroom introduces variables that compromise neutrality, undermine the therapeutic relationship, and make it difficult for children to fully engage in the process. I also walk through the three-step limit-setting process and clarify how children experience limits when they're set without neutrality or unconditional positive regard. This episode serves as both a case consultation and a broader conversation about how we engage parents—highlighting why CPRT and filial work must remain separate from CCPT sessions. When we preserve the model, we preserve the child's freedom, safety, and capacity for growth. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

Please check out my new Twin Peaks podcast, Cafe Unconscious (and also keep an eye out for more Artists Love Twin Peaks). Excerpt description: “Join us for a brief exploration of the trip ‘home' in Twin Peaks: The Return Part 18. Themes include Cooper's motivation to get Laura to the Palmer house, the validity of Carrie Page's existence, the legitimacy of Odessa versus a dream-state, the journey of the persona and ego into states of self and how the haunting scream of Carrie Page acts as a happy ending.” Podcast description: Hosted by Anthony and Tommy, Café Unconscious is a "Twin Peaks theory" podcast focusing on connecting media influence, psychology, and symbolism into true understandings of the narrative. Can a Twin Peaks “theory of everything” open up NEW mysteries in Twin Peaks rather than closing down old ones? Yes indeed.Want more of this conversation?

Robbie Bent is the co-founder of Othership—a multi-million dollar wellness movement centered around sauna, breathwork, cold plunge, and emotional connection. After a devastating startup failure left him broke and struggling with addiction, what began as backyard ice bath experiments during COVID evolved into one of the most innovative wellness concepts today. In this raw conversation, Robbie shares how his darkest moments led to discovering somatic practices that not only saved his life but inspired a business helping thousands heal together. Robbie and Megan explore why traditional therapy often falls short, how Othership became a "Trojan Horse" for emotional processing, and why the real transformation happens not in the sauna or ice bath—but in the vulnerable sharing that follows. Beyond the emotional insights, Robbie gets tactical about scaling brick-and-mortar businesses, dealing with copycats, founder mode versus delegation, and the profound loneliness of building something meaningful while trying to be a present father and husband. This conversation reveals why the future of wellness isn't about optimizing alone; it's about witnessing each other's humanity—and healing in community.

I'm very excited to share this week's episode and guest with you all. Today I'm talking with friend, film producer, author and grief educator-Lizzie Pickering. Lizzie and I met back in 2022 at the UK Commission on Bereavement and haven't left each others side since. Throughout the years, Lizzie has become a dear friend and someone I admire both personally and professionally. Lizzie's relationship with grief began when her son, Harry, died aged 6 and a half after being diagnosed with a life limiting and terminal illness when he was extremely little.Throughout those years and continuing to raise her family that consisted of her two surviving children, Lizzie knew that she wanted to walk towards her grief rather than away from it. In doing so, Lizzie has gathered an extreme wealth of knowledge and compassion that has gone on to support other bereaved parents and individuals in the masses. I feel so fortunate to walk alongside Lizzie in our lines of work and what she shares in our episode today, I think you'll see why.Lizzie and I discuss in this episode the various different but recurring themes we see in our work. We wanted to showcase how common and normal they really are to help you hopefully feel less alone and perhaps more comforted. Reading Lizzie's book 'When Grief Equals Love' is a must read. You can find Lizzie and links to her book here.

What if the thing you're avoiding—being truly seen—is actually the key to healing?In this powerful episode, the speaker explores the contrast between isolation and intimacy, and how both can impact our relationships, our work, and our inner world. While isolation often feels like protection—especially in times of burnout, heartbreak, or exhaustion—it can eventually lead to loneliness and numbness. On the other hand, intimacy requires courage. It's about being vulnerable, open, and allowing yourself to be supported, not just in romantic relationships but in everyday life and professional spaces too.The episode blends neuroscience, yoga philosophy, and personal reflection. It touches on the role of the spiritual heart (hridaya), the healing power of physical and emotional connection, and the challenges of receiving support without guilt. Themes like overgiving vs. receptivity, self-care as a gateway to connection, and the need for balance are emphasized.Listeners are guided through reflective questions and even a gentle breath-based embodiment practice. The episode closes with a tender reminder: You are allowed to receive. You are not alone.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction  00:02:00 What is Isolation?  00:04:42 Defining Intimacy  00:06:15 Inner Narratives of Isolation  00:07:31 Yogic Lens: Hridaya & Bhakti  00:08:15 Acro Yoga & Building Trust  00:09:18 Science: Cortisol vs. Oxytocin  00:10:43 Intimacy with Yourself  00:13:09 Intimacy in Teaching  00:14:00 Entrepreneurship & Isolation  00:15:45 Overgiving vs. Receptivity  00:18:40 Self-Intimacy as a Foundation  00:22:30 Hatha Yoga & Balance  00:23:47 Why It's Hard to Receive  00:25:04 Story: Needing Help  00:27:27 Somatic Breath Practice  00:29:01 Reflective Questions  00:30:43 Closing Affirmations  —-------—-------—-
