All of us show up with multiple identities (partner, parent, revolutionary, etc.). How do we, as therapists, get better at existing in discomfort and creating space where everyone can explore without rushing to define themselves? Santiago Delboy, MBA, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and founder of Fermata Psychotherapy, a psychoanalytic group practice in Chicago. I consider Santiago a true in-betweener (or, n'betweener©, the term coined by previous guest Nora Alwah for those who, like herself, feel suspended between two (or more) identities; not fully inhabiting one or the other). My assessment isn't an indictment; it's an invitation. How can we transmute the discomfort of the unknown into collective growth? GUEST BIO Santiago Delboy, MBA, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and founder of Fermata Psychotherapy, a psychoanalytic group practice in Chicago. He has provided clinical supervision and consultation at the Chicago Center for Psychoanalysis, the Institute for Clinical Social Work, and The Family Institute at Northwestern University. Prior to becoming a clinician, he spent over a decade working in the corporate world in Peru, his home country, and the U.S. His publications include essays in Psychoanalytic Dialogues, Psychoanalytic Inquiry, Revista de la Sociedad Peruana de Psicoanálisis, Aeon, and Psychology Today. *** Join the Group Practice (R)evolution!

Check out the collection of fidgets Team Shiny loves! There's a particular kind of tired that seeps past your muscles—it settles in your body memory. The kind that comes from years spent reshaping yourself around other people's comfort. If you've ever been told your joy was too big, your voice too loud, your questions too many—this conversation might feel like exhaling.In this episode of Something Shiny: ADHD, therapist Grace Gautier joins Isabelle Richards and David Kessler for a deeply human conversation about what it means to hide your corners to stay connected. Grace, a trans woman who works closely with trans and neurodivergent communities, puts language to something so many of us have felt but couldn't name: carceral logic—that cultural instinct to isolate or correct those who struggle, instead of shifting the environment to support them.We talk about what happens when systems teach us to monitor ourselves before anyone else can. How masking gets confused for maturity. How survival strategies get mislabeled as flaws. And why returning to connection—not perfection—is the real work of healing.We explore:The overlap between neurodivergent and trans lived experiencesWhy we learn to tuck away the most beautiful, vital parts of ourselvesThe difference between being managed and being metHow community becomes the repairDavid brings in the metaphor of the uncarved block—this tender image of a version of you untouched by the sanding-down of social expectation. Grace recognizes herself immediately. She traces how her sensory overwhelm, emotional intensity, and clutter-as-memory weren't signs of dysfunction—they were adaptations. Signals. Ways of being.Grace also shares the ache of her father's deportation and the clarity that arrived when she was finally diagnosed with ADHD later in life. Suddenly, things made sense. She didn't need to try harder—she needed support that didn't punish her nervous system.By the end of this conversation, you'll realize the parts you were taught to hide were actually never flaws to fix, but rather truths you were carrying alone. What shifts when you stop mistaking survival for failure? What changes when you see your ADHD traits not as obstacles, but as signals? Maybe, for the first time, things make sense. And maybe that sense brings a kind of peace you didn't know you were allowed to feel.

Dr. Thema and Dené Logan discuss the social pressures to conform and the negative effects of self erasure on individuals and relationships. Dene shares her incredible journey of reclaiming and her sense of self and the ripple effect this process had on her understanding of genuine intimacy. Dené Logan is a Relationship Coach and Therapist, a group facilitator, and an author based in Los Angeles. In addition to working with clients in private practice, she is a mindfulness coach, a yoga teacher, and specializes in supporting others in showing up more authentically in all of their relationships - including (and perhaps most importantly) in the relationship with themselves. Dené utilizes her background in depth psychology to infuse archetypes, ritual, and metaphysics into the exploration of how each of us can reclaim the aspects of our authentic selves that we've been culturally conditioned to turn away from in an attempt to maintain attachments. Her first book, Sovereign Love: A Guide to Healing Relationships by Reclaiming the Masculine and Feminine Within, is available now.

Have you ever noticed old messages about money, morality, or success still lingering—long after you've left a faith community or belief system that once shaped your world? In this episode, I sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist Emily Maynard to explore how growing up in or leaving a high-control religious environment can deeply influence your relationship with money. We talk about how these systems teach people—often from childhood—to view money through a moral lens: poverty as virtue, wealth as greed, or sacrifice as proof of goodness. For therapists who grew up in these spaces, those lessons can make it especially difficult to set boundaries, charge appropriately, or believe that rest and success are safe. Emily brings such grounded insight to this conversation. Together, we unpack what defines a high-control religion—not as a specific theology, but as a structure of control, shame, and rigidity that can leave lasting marks on how we see ourselves, our worth, and what we deserve. Healing Money Shame for Therapists with Religious Trauma Histories This episode is for you if you've ever wrestled with feeling selfish for wanting more stability, questioned your right to rest, or found yourself hustling to “earn” worthiness. (00:06:17) Religion Shapes Early Views on Money (00:09:31) Subtle Conditioning in Belief Systems (00:10:37) Healing After Leaving a Group (00:15:41) Sustainability in Healthcare Messaging (00:17:18) Money, Morality, and Control (00:23:16) Building a Sustainable Healing Practice (00:27:03) Money, Religion, and Belonging Breaking Free from Money Shame Rooted in High Control Religious Backgrounds Emily shares what she sees in her work with clients recovering from religious trauma: the body's lingering responses to old patterns, even years after intellectually moving on. We also explore how healing involves learning to make your own choices, rewriting your “job description” in private practice, and creating boundaries that allow sustainability without guilt. Here are a few action steps you can take toward breaking free: Notice the messages you absorbed early on. What stories about money, morality, or sacrifice still influence your financial decisions today? Practice autonomy with compassion. Try writing your own “job description” for private practice. What would feel fair, sustainable, and ethical for you? Challenge inherited shame. When guilt or fear shows up around charging for your work or taking rest, remind yourself: You are allowed to be well. Build new financial safety. Explore ways to connect money with care, not control—so your business can reflect your current values, not your old programming. If you've ever questioned your relationship with money after growing up in faith-based or high-control environments, this episode will help you begin healing the shame, rebuilding trust in yourself, and crafting a business that feels both grounded and free. Get to Know Emily Maynard: Emily Maynard is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. She works with adults with trauma, particularly religious trauma and high control religion backgrounds. Emily has a small private practice and is certified in EMDR.

In this episode of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we explore whether technology has become humanity's biggest emotional challenge as we welcome special guest Lisa Danahy from Create Calm. Together, we look at how growing up digital is reshaping patience, empathy, and connection in ways no generation has ever experienced. We break down the tension between our slow, human emotional systems and the fast, stimulating world of screens, and examine how COVID revealed just how fragile our real-world connection skills have become. Lisa shares her SEL expertise to show how families and schools can better support kids in this new landscape, while we discuss rising emotional fatigue, digital overstimulation, and what genuine connection looks like in an algorithm-driven world. We close with practical tips for slowing down, setting healthier boundaries with technology, and rebuilding the emotional habits that help us feel grounded and truly connected. Tune in to see if Technology is Humanity's Greatest Emotional Challenge Through a Therapist's Eyes.

You want to be honest with your child… but when emotions run high, it can be hard to know where the line is between healthy emotional expression and unintentionally putting a burden on your young child, teen, or young-adult kid.If you've ever felt terrified, overwhelmed, or lost in the fear of “what if,” and weren't sure whether to show your child how scared you really are…If you've ever wondered why expressing your emotions towards your child sometimes leads to more distance instead of more connection…Or if you've ever felt the urge to show your child just how upset, hurt, or worried you are, especially when their behavior frightens you, but aren't sure whether that helps or harms…You are not alone, and this episode will bring clarity to something many parents quietly wrestle with.Today, I'm joined by therapist Dana VanRenterghem to talk honestly about how to express emotions to your child in a healthy, appropriate way. We explore why kids should never be responsible for managing a parent's emotional world, how even well-intentioned honesty can become emotional dumping, and how easy it is to cross the line without realizing it.We get into the nuance: your emotions are real and valid… but they're still your emotions. So how do you pause, regulate, and come back to your child from a grounded place instead of fear? We also talk about the caregiver–seeker roles in attachment, how role reversals happen, why they're so confusing, and how to repair if you've shared too much in the past.In this episode on how to express emotions to your child, we discuss:Why sharing “big feelings” with your child can accidentally create shameThe difference between emotional honesty and emotional burdenWhat to say when you're scared, angry, or overwhelmedHow to pause and regulate before returning to your childThe caregiver vs. seeker roles (and what happens when they get reversed)How to repair with your child when you've said too much or reacted too fastWhy your child is not responsible for your feelingsWhat emotional expression looks like in healthy parent–child communicationWhere parents should take their big feelings (hint: not to your child)Looking for support?

What if your chronic pain isn't just physical? In this episode I chat with Michelle Scott—licensed psychotherapist, Reiki master teacher, “the weird therapist” and my friend—to explore the surprising link between stuck emotions, chronic pain, and speaking your truth.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 46! Many of our guests are multi-hyphenates when it comes to their impact in the world, and today's guest can definitely be described that way. Satsuki Ina is a Trauma Therapist, Activist, Filmmaker, Educator, and the Author of the Memoir The Poet and the Silk Girl which was released on September 9, 2025.  Satsuki is a survivor of the Japanese incarceration during World War II. She was born in the camps and spent her first few years there, both experiencing the trauma in her early years as well as through her parents. In her memoir, The Poet and the Silk Girl, Satsuki tells the story of how her parents, brother, and she survived and resisted their incarceration in U.S. concentration camps. One of the things that makes this memoir even more personal is that she was able to draw from diary entries, emotional haiku, censored letters, government documents, and clandestine messages that her parents Shizuko and Itaru Ina shared with each other. Satsuki further adds to the relevance and personalization by connecting her family's experience to the race and immigration stories unfolding today as well—from rising anti-Asian hate crimes to the militarization of immigration enforcement. At 81, Satsuki continues to be at the forefront of Asian American activism. She's a co-founder of Tsuru for Solidarity, a nonviolent, direct-action project of Japanese American social justice advocates. To learn more about Satsuki Ina, you can visit her website, follow her Instagram @satsukiina, support Tsuru for Solidarity, watch her recent addresses at the 56th Annual Manzanar Pilgrimage and the Snow Country Prison Japanese American Memorial, and you can of course get your own copy of The Poet and the Silk Girl.  If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

Today's guest is the incredible Dr. Sara Reardon, a renowned pelvic floor physical therapist, author, and founder of V-Hive, a groundbreaking app for pelvic health. I wanted to have Dr. Reardon on the show because nearly 80% of people living with scleroderma are women, and many face challenges such as urinary issues and fecal incontinence topics we don't talk about enough. Dr. Reardon offers thoughtful, practical, and empowering ways to address these concerns. Her book, Floored, is full of helpful guidance, and even at 66, I found myself learning so many things I wish I'd known years ago.

Teens today live at the intersection of real mental health risks and viral misused language like gaslighting, narcissism, and DID. On this episode of The Brainy Moms podcast, Dr. Amy sat down with children's therapist Stacy Schaffer to unpack how parents can support mental health without turning every rough patch into a diagnosis. Stacy shares the story behind her new book and the core idea that guides her work: integrate tough histories into practical, present-day tools so kids feel seen, safe, and capable.We dig into the messy middle of modern childhood—where TikTok trends meet group-chat drama and where grooming, exclusion, and “subtle” cruelty often fly under the bullying radar. Stacy offers concrete steps for delaying social platforms, keeping an open pulse on online connections, and having frank, age-appropriate talks about consent, safety, and the law. We also explore why framing therapy as a gift changes everything, and how to invite teens into the process so they feel respected rather than “sent.”A big theme is language. Words like trauma, gaslighting, narcissist, and DID carry weight and meaning; when they get stretched to cover discomfort or disagreement, everyone loses clarity. Stacy walks us through what those terms actually mean, when they apply, and how to teach kids a simple 1–10 scale that builds perspective without dismissing pain. We also clarify dissociation versus dissociative identity disorder and offer scripts that keep compassion high while holding responsibility steady: “You're in charge of all your parts.”Along the way, we talk about modeling healthy conflict at home, building emotion regulation, and helping kids collect “data” from hard moments they survived. If you've wondered how to respond when your teen throws out a buzzword, how to know when it's time for counseling, or how to keep kids safer online, this conversation delivers calm, clear guidance you can use today.About Stacy SchafferStacy Schaffer is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty years of experience helping children, teens, and young adults navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. Based in Arvada, Colorado, she is the founder and director of Stacy Schaffer Counseling and specializes in both grief therapy and Synergetic Play Therapy.

Therapists entering the field face a hidden obstacle that can derail their entire career: finding affordable, accessible clinical supervision.Rachel Ledbetter, licensed marriage and family therapist and CEO of Motivo, joins Michael Fulwiler to share how her own struggle to get licensed in rural Georgia led her to build a company that's now helping thousands of therapists cross the finish line to licensure.In this candid conversation, Rachel talks about her early startup mistakes, the values that guide Motivo's pricing model, and what it's like to raise venture capital as a therapist in tech.

Send us a textA sleepless night, a soft prompt, and a flood of relief—the rise of AI therapy and companion apps is rewriting how we seek comfort when it matters most. We explore why these tools feel so human and so helpful, and what actually happens to the raw, intimate data shared in moments of vulnerability. From CBT-style exercises to memory-rich chat histories, the promise is powerful: instant support, lower cost, and zero visible judgment. The tradeoff is less visible but just as real—monetization models that thrive on sensitive inputs, “anonymized” data that can often be re-identified, and breach risks that turn private confessions into attack surfaces.We dig into the ethical edge: can a language model provide mental health care, or does it simulate empathy without the duty of care? We look at misinformation, hallucinated advice, and the way overreliance on AI can delay genuine human connection and professional help. The legal landscape lags behind the technology, with HIPAA often out of scope and accountability unclear when harm occurs. Still, there are practical ways to reduce exposure without forfeiting every benefit. We walk through privacy policies worth reading, data controls worth using, and signs that an app takes security seriously, from encryption to third‑party audits.Most of all, we focus on agency. Use AI for structure, journaling, and small reframes; lean on people for crisis, nuance, and real relationship. Create boundaries for what you share, separate identities when possible, and revisit whether a tool is helping you act or just keeping you company. If you've ever confided in a bot at 2 a.m., this conversation gives you the context and steps to stay safer while still finding support. If it resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who might need it, and leave a review to help others find the show. Support the show

The Cost of Caring with Ona Clark – Client Desires, Therapist Boundaries - Erotic Transference Explored In Episode 355 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they discuss the importance of having a clinical will - why it matters, what it should include, and how it upholds your ethical responsibilities. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Ona Clark about the cost of caring - highlighting the emotional, financial, and systemic barriers that many face when training to become a counsellor. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken explore erotic transference - how to recognise it, work with it ethically, and maintain clear professional boundaries. The Importance of a Clinical Will [starts at 03:36 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken unpack the ethical and legal reasons for having a clinical will and how it ensures continuity of care for clients. Key points discussed include: A clinical will ensures that clients are treated ethically and professionally in the event of a therapist's death or incapacitation. Ethical frameworks now state that therapists should have a clinical will - it's no longer optional. The document designates an executor (often a peer or supervisor) who can securely manage client data and provide closure for clients. Therapists must include clear details about client records, contracts, supervision, and how information is stored and accessed. Loved ones and supervisors should be informed of the will's existence and who the executor is. Clinical wills uphold confidentiality, legal compliance, and demonstrate professional responsibility. The Cost of Caring with Ona Clark [starts at 34:07 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with neurodivergent counsellor and advocate Ona Clark, who shares her personal and professional reflections on the hidden costs of becoming a therapist. Key points from this conversation include: Training to become a counsellor carries hidden financial burdens - from personal therapy and unpaid placements, to travel and supervision. These costs disproportionately affect students from lower-income and underrepresented backgrounds. Ona highlights the additional emotional labour experienced by Black and minoritised trainees, often working harder to feel seen and heard. Mental health impacts of financial strain include burnout, anxiety, and difficulty engaging in personal development. Greater funding, policy reform, and access to therapy for counsellors are needed to build a more inclusive profession. Ona's campaign “The Cost of Caring” calls for structural change - raising awareness and seeking support through petition and advocacy. Ona also writes thoughtfully about the experiences of survivors in her article, Beyond the Silence: 8 Things Survivors Need from Counsellors — exploring how therapists can create spaces of safety, empathy, and understanding in their work. Plus, she is featured in the latest issue of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) magazine, where she expands on themes of neurodivergence, grief support and mental-health advocacy. Client Desires, Therapist Boundaries – Erotic Transference Explored [starts at 58:35 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore the complex phenomenon of erotic transference and how therapists can respond ethically and professionally. Key points include: Erotic transference refers to romantic or sexual feelings a client may develop toward their therapist - often rooted in earlier attachment patterns or unmet emotional needs such as validation or closeness. The term was coined by Sigmund Freud in the early 20th century (c. 1912–1915), who described it as Übertragungsliebe - a sexualised form of transference not to be gratified, but analysed within therapy.
