"Trauma can be a gateway for transformation, and it's one of the things that I am passionate about." – Abi Blakeslee On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth sits down with Dr. Abi Blakeslee, a leader in the field of trauma recovery and somatic psychology recognized for her clinical research and teaching. Dr. Blakeslee shares her deep exploration of implicit memory—the non-conscious processes shaping movement, emotion, and survival patterns—and explains how harnessing implicit memory offers new and practical pathways to healing trauma. Drawing from Somatic Experiencing, neuroscience, and her own research, Dr. Blakeslee breaks down the branches of implicit memory—procedural, priming, associative, and more—and clarifies their relevance in trauma and recovery. The conversation explores how clinicians can support present-moment, embodied "new learning" that rewires automatic responses and fosters positive transformation. Listeners will hear practical strategies to increase clients' interoceptive awareness, cultivate self-compassion, and repair ruptures through embodied, relational experiences. Dr. Blakeslee emphasizes the importance of helping clients reconnect with their essential self, shifting the focus from merely resolving the past to building new implicit memories of agency, connection, and vitality. Together they discuss the flexibility of integrating these neurobiological insights into diverse modalities—including Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic Therapy, and beyond—to deepen agency and nurture post-traumatic growth, especially in cases of developmental and complex trauma. Throughout, Dr. Blakeslee underscores the healing power of gentle attention, relational attunement, and compassion—offering a hopeful framework for practitioners and clients alike.

Ever feel like you're crushing it in business but kind of white-knuckling it at home? Like you can lead a team, close deals, and solve complex problems—but one tense moment with your spouse and you're like, “Bro… what am I even doing?”If that hits a little too close to home, this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast is for you.In this convo, I sit down with Quentin Hafner, a licensed marriage and family therapist, peak-performance coach, and the creator of the Black Belt Husband system. For nearly two decades, Quentin's been helping high-performing entrepreneurs, business leaders, and creators win in every area of life without sacrificing their marriage or sanity in the process. He's taken over 20,000 men through his Black Belt Husband framework, helping them rebuild connection, trust, and harmony in their relationships.What I love about Quentin is that he's not coming in with fluffy theory. He's a jujitsu guy, an Ironman finisher, a husband, a dad and a dude who speaks straight to the hearts and minds of driven men. His whole thing? Turning guys from “just financial providers” into emotional leaders who actually create a marriage they're proud of. And this matters big time, because as Quentin said, he's seen more businesses collapse not from a lack of strategy, but from unresolved marriage problems draining energy, focus, and peace of mind.In the episode, Quentin breaks down his Black Belt Husband system—five pillars that any man (and honestly, any couple) can use to uplevel the relationship. We jam on why most marriage advice is written “by women for women,” how he reframed the whole game for men, and how those same leadership principles we use in business can and should be applied at home.Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation that really hit hard:You are the leader who sets the tone and temperature.Quentin's first pillar is simple and convincing: as a husband, you are the leader who sets the tone and the temperature of the relationship. Just like a CEO is ultimately responsible for the culture and performance of the company, you are ultimately responsible for the health of the relationship. That doesn't mean she's a child or you're a dictator; it means extreme ownership. The moment a man fully accepts that, everything changes.Only fight with yourself, never with her.This one is a paradigm shift. Instead of blaming your wife every time something triggers you, “Why did you do that?”Quentin teaches men to ask, “What is it about me that's so bothered by this?” That inner work changes the game. It breaks the blame cycle, reduces fighting, and creates emotional safety. And when safety goes up? Intimacy and connection go up too. As Quentin said, most guys want more sex, more affection, more closeness—but they're throwing temper tantrums instead of doing the inner work.Be intolerant of bad behavior (hers and yours).Pillar three is about boundaries and standards. Quentin shared stories of guys tolerating things they'd never accept in any other part of life like being disrespected or even physically hit, because they've been conditioned to “just let it go” to be a “good husband.” The problem? That leads to resentment and passive-aggressive behavior. Being intolerant of bad behavior doesn't mean being controlling or harsh, it means clearly and calmly saying, “That doesn't work for me,” and holding a standard for how you give and receive love in the relationship. And yes, this includes being intolerant of your own bad behavior too.Take full responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and actions.Quentin talks about how many men live in a “doom and gloom” mental loop about their marriage, only seeing what's wrong, replaying disappointments, and quietly checking out. He helps guys flip that by taking radical responsibility for what they think, feel, and do. That includes practicing gratitude, appreciation, and shifting your perspective from “What's wrong with her?” to “How can I show up better?” The same way we approach improving team performance or profits, we can approach creating a more loving, connected relationship.Fill your cup so you can give it away.The fifth pillar might be the most important: you can't be a great husband, dad, or leader if you're running on empty. Quentin sees it all the time, high achievers going a million miles an hour, then coming home with zero energy, zoning out on their phones, and missing the moments that matter. He helps men embrace self-care without guilt: jujitsu, gym time, guy time, hobbies, whatever restores your battery. It's not selfish—it's strategic. When you fill your own cup, you can give from overflow instead of resentment. Nobody wants to be married to a martyr.The big thread running through all of this? Most men are making one core mistake: they're over-indexed on being financial providers and underdeveloped as emotional providers. They're watering the business and starving the marriage, and then wondering why both feel harder than they need to.Quentin's reminder is powerful: if you want to win in business, prioritize your marriage. Not only because it's the right thing to do but because a peaceful, connected home is rocket fuel for your performance everywhere else. And the beautiful part? He says you can have an epic marriage in less than 10 minutes a day when you know what to do and you do it with intention. It's not about more time; it's about better presence.If you're a high-performing entrepreneur, creator, or leader who wants to be successful and deeply connected at home, not just rich and lonely this episode is a must-listen. Quentin gives you real talk, tangible frameworks, and a vision for what's possible when you go “all in” on being a Black Belt Husband. What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Quentin says the magic sauce of life is to know how to merge those two components together, you know, how to be ambitious, how to be creative, how to be a conqueror, go out and build something epic.

Subscribe to The FoundHer Files. Practical advice for your small business. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just what works...because we're better together. SUBSCRIBE HEREFear of being seen keeps many entrepreneurs from stepping into their potential, and imposter syndrome often has less to do with confidence than with how the nervous system reacts to visibility. In this episode, Lindsay Pinchuk talks with therapist and visibility coach Anna Holtzman about what's really happening beneath the surface when we hesitate to show up. Why does sharing your work online or talking about your business feel so uncomfortable? And how can you train your body to see visibility as safe instead of threatening?Anna shares how the fear of being seen is often a protective response, not a personal flaw, and how learning to recognize that can shift the way you approach your work. She explains her method of “graded exposure” (taking small, consistent steps toward being visible) as a way to build trust in yourself and lessen the grip of imposter syndrome over time.This conversation feels like a gentle permission slip for anyone who's tired of pretending to be confident. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of what it means to show up authentically and a few ways to make visibility feel less like a performance and more like self-trust in action.Episode Breakdown:00:00 The Fear of Visibility12:03 Navigating Career Transitions24:07 Overcoming Visibility Challenges26:52 Building Comfort in Visibility30:46 The Power of One-on-One Coaching31:52 Authenticity in Consistency35:01 Navigating Negative Feedback39:05 Personalized Coaching Experiences45:35 Actionable Steps to Increase VisibilityLinks:Follow Anna on InstagramRegister for Anna's FREE Let Yourself Be Seen WorkshopCheck Lindsay out on Anna's Podcast!Subscribe to The FoundHer FilesGet Tickets for Dear FoundHer.. on TourThis Week's FoundHer Faves:Pistola Cassie PantsDudley StephensParenting on MarsAviva AppThe Law Office of Erin M.

Original Air Date: October 24, 2023 In this captivating episode, Lisa Dion is joined by three incredible colleagues—Michelle Wayman, Mili Shoemaker, and Lisa Walton—from Argentina, Australia, and the United States. Together, they explore a fascinating question: why do therapists attract the clients they do? Have you noticed patterns in your caseload, with clients showing up who reflect similar struggles or challenges? Lisa and her guests dive into how these connections are far from random. Clients often act as mirrors, reflecting parts of our own experiences and guiding us toward self-discovery and growth. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why the clients who enter our therapy spaces are not random and what they reveal about our own journeys How clients serve as teachers, mirroring experiences we might be avoiding or haven't yet integrated Why countertransference can be embraced as a tool for deeper understanding and connection How awareness of these patterns can transform your practice, infusing it with curiosity, self-awareness, and deeper opportunities for co-regulation and healing This episode is a heartfelt reminder that clients are more than recipients of therapy—they are guides and mirrors helping us illuminate where we need to grow, heal, and show up more fully. Tune in to explore how understanding these connections can enrich both your professional practice and personal journey.

Have you ever caught yourself living in constant hustle mode — pushing for the next milestone in your therapy practice but rarely pausing to breathe, to celebrate, or to simply be? I sit down with Jenny Jonker, a therapist, practice owner, and graduate of both my Money Skills for Therapists and Money Skills for Practice Owners programs. Jenny's story is powerful — she shares how her immigrant background, her family's experience fleeing war, and the survival mindset that shaped her early years carried into her life as a business owner. Together, we explore what it looks like to shift from fear and scarcity into calm, trust, and true presence. I coach Jenny through the process of breaking free from the “always-doing” cycle and learning to actually enjoy the success she's built. We talk about how trauma, culture, and early money stories shape the way we work — and why slowing down, resting, and allowing ourselves to feel safe in abundance is part of the deeper healing work for therapists. Jenny's reflections are moving and relatable: honoring her parents' legacy while learning that she doesn't have to hustle to prove her worth. She reminds us that the path to financial stability in private practice isn't only about spreadsheets and systems — it's about healing what's underneath. The Cost of Constant Hustle and How Therapists Can Embrace Rest (00:03:11) Finding Purpose Beyond Hustle (00:09:01) Breaking Cycles, Reclaiming Your Space (00:10:39) Feeling Empowered Through Your Backstory (00:18:51) Reflecting on Presence and Growth (00:21:07) Hustling to Prove Yourself (00:23:01) New Patterns Take Time (00:26:10) Prioritizing Rest and Growth (00:30:29) Balancing Hustle with Presence Redefining “Enough”: Healing the Immigrant Hustle Mindset in Private Practice (00:10:05) “Being an immigrant and having my own history and the way that I grew up, I think has really informed my practice and how I show up with clients and how I want to create this space with intention and be able to share my story and my experiences of hardship and poverty with clients in a way that helps them have hope." - Jenny Jonker Jenny beautifully describes what she calls her foreboding joy — that anxious feeling when things are finally good, but a part of you is waiting for something to go wrong. She's practicing new tools to retrain her nervous system, learning to let in safety, joy, and gratitude. One of her grounding techniques: closing her eyes, counting to three, and saying, “I am really here. I deserve this.” If you've ever felt driven by scarcity, fear, or the pressure to prove yourself, Jenny's story offers a gentle reminder: your worth doesn't come from your productivity. It's okay to slow down, to rest, and to take in how far you've come. Action Steps to Help You Shift Your Money Narrative: Explore your family's money story. Reflect on the messages you absorbed about money, work, and success growing up. Which beliefs are truly yours, and which are ready to be released? Notice when “hustle” shows up. When you feel the pull to overwork, ask: “What am I afraid will happen if I slow down?” Practice mindful presence and positive affect tolerance. Try the same exercise I walked Jenny through: sit still, close your eyes, count to three, and open them with the words, “I deserve this. This is my life. I built this.” Connect with your younger self. When fear arises, connect with that child part of you and gently remind them, “We're safe now.

Finding the right kind of help shouldn't feel complicated - but between long waitlists, confusing titles, and church mixed messages about therapy, it often does.In the final part of the Do No Harm series, Laurie and licensed therapist Kati Quigley talk about what makes finding help so hard, and why it's still worth the effort. Together, they unpack the difference between a counselor, coach, and spiritual director, why “biblical counseling” can unintentionally do harm, and how to find affordable, faith-aligned options that actually support healing.Connect with Kati Quigley: katiquigleycounseling.orgJoin our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRate, Review, & Follow Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie and The Small Church Ministry Podcast!!"

In Politics, Community, and Mental Health (Ep334), Chris takes a thoughtful look at how political fear shapes not just our beliefs—but our brains, our relationships, and our sense of belonging. From understanding fear as the dominant political tool to exploring how it fractures community and fuels chronic stress, this episode connects emotional regulation to civic awareness in powerful ways. Listeners will hear how fear narrows thinking, deepens tribalism, and keeps the nervous system on high alert—and learn practical ways to restore connection, regulate emotions, and engage politics without losing peace of mind. The takeaway: before we can talk facts, we have to calm the body. Tune in to see Politics and Community Through a Therapist's Eyes.

When Burnout Ends Your Therapy Career: An Interview with Ofra Obejas Curt and Katie speak with Ofra Obejas, LCSW (Retired), about what happens when even the most dedicated therapists reach their limits. After 20 years in practice, Ofra recognized she could no longer sustain the emotional and systemic demands of the work and chose to close her practice with integrity. She shares what burnout really looks like, how unrealistic professional expectations fuel it, and what therapists can do to protect themselves before it's too late. About Our Guest: Ofra Obejas, LCSW (Retired) Ofra Obejas, LCSW Retired, has just closed her practice after 20 years and many letters after her name. Over her career, she provided individual and group therapy to thousands, was on the faculty of a university therapy training program, and presented CEs to hundreds. Despite this clear proof of her expertise, she feels like a failure, a fate she wishes to save newer therapists from. Key Takeaways for Therapists Burnout isn't a personal weakness—it's a mismatch between what therapy demands and what clinicians can sustainably give. “Self-care” can't fix systemic overload or chronic emotional depletion. Therapists must honor their own limits and values to avoid running out of gas. Leaving the field can be an act of integrity, not failure.

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson speaks with Dr. Rachel Boyle, a sex therapist specializing in perimenopause and menopause. They explore the complexities of women's sexual health, the impact of hormonal changes, and the importance of communication in relationships. Dr. Boyle shares her journey into understanding perimenopause, the effectiveness of EMDR therapy for trauma, and the cultural pressures women face regarding their bodies and sexuality. The conversation emphasizes the need for qualified therapists and the significance of creating safe spaces for women to explore their desires and experiences. Takeaways Low libido can be a message rather than a problem. Healing trauma doesn't require reliving it, but releasing it. Perimenopause can last for many years, affecting women's health. EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories effectively. Women often bear the emotional labor in relationships, leading to stress. Communication about sex is crucial for healthy relationships. Desire for sex can be influenced by hormonal changes and emotional safety. Cultural attitudes towards women's bodies impact their sexual health. Consensual non-monogamy requires clear communication and boundaries. Therapists should be trained in women's sexual health issues. https://www.rachelboyle.com/ To my fellow clinicians: listen to this podcast on ⁠⁠⁠Pinnacle for FREE to earn CME credit⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take my Adult Sex Ed Master Class:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interested in my sexual health and hormone clinic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Waitlist is open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Thanks to our sponsor ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Midi Women's Health⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Therapists, counselors, social workers, and others who work with mental and emotional health will share their perspective on this statement, unpack what people really mean when they say it, and help us explore where movement, support, and actual therapy fit into our lives.I talk about why I believe we need a personal recipe for mental and emotional health, built from different tools that work together instead of relying on just one thing. I share my own experience as someone who has been in therapy consistently, trains regularly, and uses both to process emotions, relieve tension, and stay grounded. You will hear how this project connects to my long standing work in fitness and self-acceptance, including the Mens Mental Health Series, and how all of it comes back to helping you appreciate yourself from the inside/out instead of chasing your worth through your appearance.Gym And Therapy is about nuance, context, and real conversations. My hope is that across these episodes you hear stories, opinions, and insights that help you feel seen, encourage you to seek support that fits you, and remind you that you deserve a life where you are connected with who you are, mentally, emotionally, and physically.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Any takeaways from this episode?Underwhelmed and a little fired up: we unpack Season 2's recycled arcs, interfaith stalemates, weaponized ‘good guy' energy, and a wildly unethical storyline.Spoiler alert: We spoil Season 2 of Nobody Wants This (Netflix). Proceed caffeinated.This week Kira and Dr. Isabelle dive into Season 2 of Nobody Wants This with Adam Brody and Kristen Bell—and why, despite stellar performances, the story stalls. We break down the interfaith impasse (values vs. pressure), Noah's performative “good guy” pattern, and how a nightstand somehow became peak romance. We also cover Esther/Sasha's whiplash baby talk, Morgan's messy choices, and the biggest red flag of all: a therapist who dates a (very recent) former client. We talk power dynamics, love-bombing, and why “leaving an abuser” scenes on TV skip the most dangerous part in real life. Bright spots?

The perfect recipe for burnout is to work in a caring profession, be a slave to perfectionism, and neglect your needs.

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart podcast, host Dr. Karen Litzy is joined by Liane Wood, RP, a seasoned entrepreneur and registered psychotherapist. They discuss the transition from clinician to CEO, focusing on the mindset and identity shifts required. Liane shares her journey from running insurance brokerages to becoming a psychotherapist and eventually helping others build thriving private practices. The conversation covers the importance of systems, niching, and value-based pricing, as well as overcoming perfectionism and burnout.   Takeaways   Transitioning from clinician to CEO requires significant mindset shifts. Building systems in practice saves time, energy, money, and stress. Niching helps therapists attract the right clients. Value-based pricing focuses on transformation rather than time. Overcoming perfectionism is crucial for business growth. Delegation is key to scaling a practice. Balancing working in and on the practice prevents burnout. Shifting from fear to excitement can drive business vision. Therapists can be both compassionate clinicians and confident business owners. Successful therapists integrate strategic planning into their practice.   Chapters   ·       00:00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction ·       00:00:00 Liane's Journey from Insurance to Therapy ·       00:00:00 The Importance of Systems and Niching ·       00:00:00 Value-Based Pricing and Overcoming Perfectionism ·       00:00:01 Balancing Practice Work and Preventing Burnout ·       00:00:01 Leadership and Vision in Therapy ·       00:00:01 Conclusion and Key Takeaways   More About Liane: Liane Wood is a registered psychotherapist, private practice mentor, and the host of The Build Your Private Practice Podcast.
