It's been nearly seven months since the Eaton Fire tore through Altadena, killing 30 people and hollowing out a once vibrant community. For many survivors, the fire has impacted their mental health, as many try to navigate rebuilding their homes and their lives. Reporter Steven Cuevas lives in Altadena, and he's been talking to therapists who are finding ways to support their community at the same time they're grappling with their own losses.  Later, we dive into the troubling history of a California wine dynasty. Wine aficionados may now look down on white zinfandel, but in the 1980s and ‘90s, it was the most popular wine in the US. The rise in demand for this sweet, pink wine is the backdrop of a wild story covered in a new podcast called Blood Vines. It's about the largest grape fraud in US history, the powerful family at the center of it, and how betrayal and murder triggered the fall of a California dynasty. The California Report Magazine's Sasha Khokha talks to investigative journalist Chris Walker – who wrote and produced the podcast – about the scandal, and how it changed the course of winemaking across the country.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special episode, Dr. K is joined by Dr. Kirk Honda and Dr. Michaela Thordarson for a head-to-head comparison of how real therapists and AI (ChatGPT) respond to mental health questions.

Topics covered include: - A mother struggling to reconnect with her adult children - The limits of therapy for people with deep, unmet emotional needs - What happens when someone feels therapy has “failed”The difference between validation and real change - Whether AI-generated empathy can ever match real human insight - You'll hear the doctors critique AI's answers, reflect on their own therapeutic styles, and debate where AI might help or harm in mental health care.

Have you been feeling stretched, stuck, or spiritually cracked open? This is the year to lift the oars and let the current guide you. Translation?

In Episode 320 of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we explore the powerful pairing of acceptance and cheerleading - two emotional forces that, when balanced, can foster deep healing and growth. How do we fully acknowledge someone's pain without jumping to fix it? And when is the right moment to offer encouragement without sounding dismissive? This episode dives into the therapeutic wisdom of DBT's “radical acceptance,” while also addressing the risks of toxic positivity and emotional neglect. From real-life examples to practical techniques like the “pendulum method,” we break down how to validate with empathy while still inspiring change - whether you're in a therapy room, a marriage, or simply showing up for a friend. Because sometimes the most healing words are: “That must be so hard… and I believe in your strength.” Tune in to see Acceptance with Cheerleading Through a Therapist's Eyes.

What do men need to unlearn to become safe, emotionally available partners—and how does the red pill movement get it so wrong? In this conversation, I sit down with a Alex, therapist who calls himself anti–red pill and uses his TikTok platform to challenge toxic masculinity, outdated dating rules, and the emotional immaturity that keeps men from being good partners.   We talk about what men must unlearn to be truly safe for women to choose—and how our work aligns in helping both men and women build functional, respectful relationships.   We also unpack topics like “body count,” the influence of friend groups on emotional growth, and why emotional safety—not just status or confidence—makes the biggest difference in love.

There's a theory that if a seller focuses on a buyer's inner feelings, then they'll be more effective in closing a deal. This will require you to put your therapist cap on to tap into the customer's emotions.My guests, Jack Frimson and Zac Thompson, sales professionals and co-authors of Selling Is Therapy, share their techniques from their latest book. Listen to learn more about how you can start selling like a therapist to close more deals.Meet Jack Frimson & Zac ThompsonJack and Zac are seasoned sales professionals and co-founders of an agency specializing in helping clients book more high-quality appointments. Together, they have worked with hundreds of clients, developing practical, actionable strategies to make sales conversations more empathetic, effective, and rewarding for everyone involved. Why the Therapist Approach?Salespeople often default to outdated, aggressive tactics that leave both parties feeling slimy.Drawing inspiration from therapy, Jack and Zac discovered that the best sellers act less like “persuaders” and more like thoughtful guides, catalyzing customer self-discovery.Permission-Based Questions & “Softening the Blow”Simply asking before posing tough or blunt questions disarms prospects, making conversations feel safer and more genuine.This approach helps navigate tough topics, such as budget or decision-making authority, without sounding confrontational.Levels of ListeningGreat salespeople distinguish themselves by noticing what isn't said—body language, hesitations, or changes in tone.Calling out the “elephant in the room” (with empathy) opens space for honesty and trust.The “Test Close”Instead of forcing meetings or pushing agendas, the “test close” invites prospects to design the most valuable meeting for themselves (“What would make a call next week worthwhile for you?”).This boosts the chances of attended and effective appointments—and prospects are more invested because they helped build the agenda.The IKEA CurveWhen prospects participate in creating the solution (“If you could design your perfect platform/campaign/vendor, what would it look like?”), They feel a greater sense of ownership and buy-in.This technique is especially effective in competitive sales situations and discovery calls.Low-Stakes Practice & Continuous ExperimentationJack and Zac encourage sellers to experiment with these tactics in everyday settings, like at a coffee shop, to build confidence before using them in sales calls.Letting Go of AttachmentThe healthiest sales approach is one where you're unattached to the outcome—focused instead on helping, not convincing.If you're struggling with this, evaluate your alignment with the product, company, and your belief in the impact you deliver."Softening the blow is when we seek permission before we ask one of those big, big questions." - Jack Frimson."You always want to be calling out the elephant in the room. Another chapter of the book talks about the levels of listening. It shares how salespeople tend to miss the things that aren't being said." - Zac Thompson.

What do you really want—and how do you even begin to ask for it? In this episode of laidOPEN, I'm joined by somatic sex therapist Susan Morgan Taylor, a healer and teacher who guides people through the often-overlooked terrain of embodied desire. With over 25 years in somatic healing, Susan brings a grounded, intuitive approach to what she calls the Pleasure Keys Process—a set of practices designed to help individuals and couples reconnect with their sensuality, emotional truth, and authentic connection. We dive into how early wounding, stress, and disembodiment can short-circuit intimacy—and what it really takes to come back into alignment with your body and your partner. Susan shares how her background in massage therapy and intuitive healing shaped her path, and offers practical, heartfelt wisdom on navigating low libido, sacred sexuality, and the art of noticing, naming, and negotiating in relationships. Whether you're in a long-term partnership or simply curious about deepening your relationship to pleasure, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and reclaim the wisdom of your body.

Show Notes: Reverend John H. Finley starts the conversation with a nod to family connections and some good news. He also mentions working at the Unilu Shelter, and how it was a transformative experience for him. Throughout the conversation, the importance of recognizing and valuing the contributions of individuals to the institution is mentioned. The Priesthood and Nativity Prep John describes his experience working at the shelter and how it led to the decision to work with younger people. He decided to become an Episcopal priest, but the bishop wouldn't ordain him since he was openly gay. After college he got involved in building a school and decided that he eventually wanted to open his own. John stayed at Nativity Prep for five years, living in a convent. After applying to Harvard Divinity School, a new  bishop approached him and encouraged him to re-consider priesthood. After John applied to Harvard Divinity School, the same priest encouraged him to open a school. He spent a year at HDS, raising money, hiring teachers, and building a facility to start the Epiphany School. The school is similar to the first Jesuit school. Becoming a Priest and Opening a School John explains the difference between the Epiphany School and Nativity Schools. Nativity Schools serve  low-income kids from homeless, abused, neglected, and poverty-stricken backgrounds, but they look for kids of academic promise and engaged parents, and John explains how this influenced how he structured Epiphany School.  In addition to opening the school,  John also became a priest. He has a parish in Boston and is the summer pastor at Trinity York Harbor in Southern Maine, but his main job is running the Epiphany School, and he explains how it has grown with many locations around the world. It has also grown from a middle school to five components: the Middle School, Early Learning Center, Middle School, Graduate Support, Teaching Fellow Program, and Epiphany Impact. After Epiphany and Extra Curricular Activities John talks about succession planning and projects outside of running the school. He  is currently a trustee of a college scholarship foundation that awards several million dollars a year in college scholarships. He is involved in a program that gives grants to people with projects, and he works with others who want to build schools, helping them replicate the Epiphany model. In addition to running Epiphany School, John also preaches, marries, baptizes, and buries people.  The Nature of the Epiphany School John explains that the core principles of the school are non-merit based admission, tuition-free tuition, extended school days, and graduate support. The school also aims to move every family out of poverty while the kids are in the school. John emphasizes the importance of tracking every graduate every year to improve the program and understand where they are succeeding and where they could improve. He also emphasizes the importance of evaluating the efficacy of the school's interventions. He shares a story of a philanthropist who took 1000 boys at risk and provided 500 with free summer camp and weekend mentoring. John emphasizes the importance of looking at long-term outcomes and holding oneself accountable for social justice work. For Epiphany, 90% of its funding comes from private donors, and the school's graduates have an unemployment rate of less than 1%, whereas the national average is around 20%. This makes it a great way to attract investment and funding. The Epiphany Investment in Families  John talks about the school's curriculum improvement system, which involves yearly assessments by outside experts and feedback from faculty. This Kaizen approach ensures that every aspect of the school is being evaluated and critiqued by experts. John emphasizes the importance of working with families, as studies suggest that 30 to 50% of Head Start gains are lost within three to five years due to perverse incentives in the social system. John explains how the school aims to help families, including  offering an escrow program for families. This program grew out of the school's work on employment and helps families move towards independence from social programs. John also mentions that every child born in the Epiphany system receives a $3,000 or 529 plan, which is invested in a conservative mix of equities and bonds. This investment message is sent to families early on, ensuring that the funds are for their child.  Personal Values and Super Powers                                                                  John takes stock of his good traits, including his ability to thank people. He believes that he has a decent work ethic and has a decent radar of what is feasible. John acknowledges that he has had an amazing education, including Harvard, Groton School, and a private elementary school. He has also been successful in cultivating a diverse group of people around him, with his team and founding teachers being with him for 20 years. John enjoys raising money and bringing resources to things, which has helped him sustain his success. John believes that his ability to lead by example are key factors in his success.   The Finley Family Legacy The conversation turns to John's family legacy and the role it played in his life and world outlook. His great grandfather built City College, a tradition that has been passed down through generations. He left Harvard with no debt and enough income to live a modest life. However, he faced pressure  to find his passion and pursue his dreams. John's father encouraged him to pursue his passions, even when he didn't make any money. He eventually realized that he needed more time to pursue his passions. He now enjoys working with his former students and seeing them grow into happy, productive lives. Social and Emotional Aspects of School John discusses the importance of social and emotional aspects in a school setting, focusing on rewards for conduct and effort. They use a software program called Class Dojo, which allows teachers to track students' thoughtful choices and courage. This system is tied to parents' phones, allowing them to recognize their child's efforts. John emphasizes the importance of group therapy for all students, with 70% being in individual therapy. Therapists and teachers work together to ensure no one falls through the cracks. The school also has a group called the Brotherhood and Sister Sister, older graduates who provide social and emotional support to students. Another tool used is the holistic student assessment, developed with McLean's and MGH. This self-assessment helps teachers understand a child's progress on social and emotional issues and helps capture the child's heart. The school never gives up on a child, ensuring that they make the school work for them. This discipline is important as it prevents teachers from making excuses for not meeting the full needs of their students.  Influential Harvard Professors and Courses John discusses his experiences with various individuals, including Carrie Welch, Peter Gomes, Memorial Church, and the Signet Society. He mentions that the shelter work at Harvard changed his life, as it gave him a sense of making a difference in the world. Many graduates of the shelter went on to interesting careers, such as Katia Falls, who founded a program called On the Rise, which works with women who don't come into the shelter because they don't feel safe. Another example is a recent college graduate who realized the need for a youth homeless shelter in Massachusetts and built a youth homeless shelter in Harvard Square. John believes that Harvard's advantages were ridiculous, but he hopes they are being used in different ways to do good things in the world. The book "Where Harvard meets the Homeless" examines the impact of the shelter work on many people's lives.

In this episode, I talk about the 3 layers of human existence. Most people only live in the layer of the mind. The thoughts, the stories, the judgments. This creates a limited experience of reality. The next layer is the body, where we connect to life outside of thought. We feel. We are present. The body then becomes a portal to the spiritual dimension: the connection to all life force itself. When you connect to the deeper layers of existence, your mind becomes a creative tool that can access a deeper intelligence.I also announce the launch of our brand new program, Wholly Human.

This week Youngmi talks to Jeff Gunther (LPC and Content Creator @therapyjeff) about how bizarre it was to be going through exactly what his clients were going through during Covid. Including the beginning and end of a Covid relationship, shifting careers, and watching all 5 million seasons of Survivor. Jeff also discusses how he went from being a LPC to an extremely popular content creator, what he thinks about the modern trend of "Gen Z self-diagnosis" and his thoughts on going no contact... with your parents. 

Hey lady! You know the saying, “No one cares because everyone is going through a lot”? Well, that's not true. Over here at Cultivating H.E.R. Space, we care. But we also know that everyone is dealing with something, and not everything needs to be shared. That doesn't mean you need to bottle it all up, though. What do you do when the journal just isn't enough and you're not ready to engage your friends in your business?Terri and Dr. Dom explore the next frontier in this illuminating conversation about the benefits and potential harms of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) as part of your mental and emotional wellness toolbox. There are pros, like when you're up in the wee hours trying to calm an anxious mind or soothe a broken heart. Instead of doom scrolling, talking to your AI buddy can help you process your thoughts in real time without oversharing with people who don't need to know all your business.But, there are points of consideration that you may want to review before you share your darkest secrets or (we know this may be common sense but a friendly reminder) your address and identifying information. The truth is, AI is here to stay. And the sooner you learn to adapt to the technology, the better equipped you'll be to navigate our ever-changing world. So why not find a way to make it work for you? Tune in for practical tips on how to create a healthy, intentional relationship with this emerging technology. Quote of the Day:"The essence of therapy has always been relational, and that cannot be replicated by an algorithm." – Chris Hoff  Goal Map Like a Pro WorkbookCultivating H.E.R.

In this conversation, Dan and Kyle explore the complexities of modern life, the struggles of balancing personal and professional responsibilities, and the importance of understanding one's relationship with oneself. They discuss the duality of personality, the role of the inner critic, and the dynamics of optimism and pessimism in relationships. The conversation also touches on the happiness curve, the impact of medication on mental health, and the significance of empathy in navigating life's challenges. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for balance and self-awareness in achieving personal growth and happiness. Takeaways: The stress of modern life can be overwhelming, similar to historical stressors. Aging can significantly impact one's appearance and mental state. Understanding one's personality can help in career choices and personal fulfillment. Therapists often face challenges in separating their professional and personal lives. The relationship with oneself is crucial for mental health and self-acceptance. An inner critic can be both motivating and detrimental to self-esteem. Finding a balance between optimism and pessimism is essential for mental well-being. Life stages affect happiness, with a U-shaped curve indicating highs and lows. Medication can be a helpful tool, but should not be the only solution for mental health issues. Empathy is vital in understanding and supporting others in their struggles.
