In this episode of The Radical Therapist, Chris sits down with Dr. Makungu Akinyela, scholar, therapist, and community organizer to discuss his new book Culture, Politics, Spirituality and Practice: A Book of Resistance and Critical Theory for Disturbing Times. We explore how therapy can be an act of resistance, how spirituality is political, and how Dr. Akinyela's groundbreaking practice of Testimony Therapy reclaims healing as a collective, culturally-rooted, and justice-oriented process. From the failures of Western psychology to the power of African-centered healing, this conversation is a call to action for therapists, healers, and anyone committed to liberation work in disturbing times. https://makunguakinyelaauthor.com/ https://www.sankofatestimonies.com/ Chris Hoff PhD, LMFT We want to hear from you!

If you are a therapist or counselor looking for continuing education, check out my NBCC Approved $5 Podcourses and other continuing education offerings.Plus, get your first Podcourse half off. Purchase this Podcourse here! Helping professionals, including students, counselors, and counselor educators, often pour into others while neglecting their own needs. Serving in multiple roles can enhance the lives of clients. However, without consistent self-investment, it can also lead to increased stress, depression, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Over time, the lack of boundaries and self-care may negatively impact both personal health and professional relationships. This engaging and metaphor-rich Podcourse offers a systematic approach to developing self-awareness, self-confidence, and sustainable self-care practices. Dr. Jason Branch shares practical tools and powerful insights drawn from his own experience with burnout. His relatable and transformative framework empowers participants to take better care of themselves. Participants will explore The Gator Life Model, which introduces a mindset shift that helps clinicians move from emotional overexposure to protected, empowered living. They will also learn the ESPM self-care model (Emotional, Spiritual, Physical, and Mental), which provides an actionable strategy for maintaining daily balance. Through this Podcourse, clinicians will gain greater clarity on their current boundaries, learn how to make intentional self-care deposits, and walk away with tools they can apply immediately to both their professional and personal lives.

As part of the Tools & Resources series, this episode dives deep into the youth mental health crisis and offers biblically sound, psychologically informed guidance for parents, educators, ministry leaders, and mentors.Dr. Williams discusses her co-authored book, Seen: Healing Despair and Anxiety in Kids and Teens Through the Power of Connection, sharing the origin story of the book, staggering statistics on youth anxiety and suicide, and practical tools for building connection and emotional resilience.From understanding the neuroscience of despair to embracing Christ-centered mental wellness, this conversation equips listeners to respond with compassion, clarity, and Christlike care.Guest Bio:Dr. Chinwé Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board-Certified Counselor, Educator, and Certified EMDR Therapist with over 18 years of experience. She specializes in stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, and emotional resilience among youth and adults.

Let's revisit a bunch of neurodivergent folx reminiscing about what it was like growing up (and being diagnosed with) ADHD in the 90's. Featuring some real gems about accommodations for reading, what hyperfocus can feel like, and stuff about Richard Dreyfuss. ----Isabelle & David welcome Isabelle's husband, Bobby, and David's childhood friend, Ashley, who both also have ADHD. Ashley shares that she was diagnosed with ADHD back in '94 when understanding of ADHD was still in its early days and accommodations like audio books and extended time for test taking were new(er). The group describes what reading looks like, including eye tracking issues connected to ADHD—and the levels of accommodations they each use, including highlighters, white noise, audiobooks, etc. One way of handling a breakup is to mouth the words to the song that's playing while you're being dumped. Other accommodations to encourage hyperfocus on reading also include listening to older instrumental music, and matching beats per minute to the task you're doing. The advantages of continuous play on music platforms (like Spotify, not a sponsor) and the rabbit holes you can get lost in. Bobby's tangent on a gem of a comedy album (see below). The group also discusses other labels that you can gather along the way with ADHD; David was labelled as having behavior problems, skipping class, acting out. Bobby experienced the world as Ferris Buehler and his response to being bullied was to work the system to get the bullies to leave you alone. How impulsivity can help you work the system or leave you hanging. The idea of either not trying to make waves or making waves when none are around. The message David got was that there was something wrong with him. The white privilege of an ADHD diagnosis, as opposed to being labeled oppositional defiant. Name of Bobby's find (click for a link to a youtube video): I Wanna Meet Richard Dreyfuss by Gabriel GundackerEye tracking issues (related to ADHD): Typical issues that can impair reading are related to either impulsively (jumping to a wrong line) or attention issues related to thinking about off topic things while reading. Click here for more.DAVID'S DEFINITIONS:IMPOSTER SYNDROME is the belief you don't belong/are bad, or that you have to be perfect on the outside along with the fear you will be found out/exposed and people will know you're a mess on the inside. OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT (Disorder, AKA ODD) is a clinical diagnosis that is applied to children marked by intentional acts of disobedience, and conflicts with authority. This diagnosis is much different than a diagnosis of ADHD, although some parts of ADHD can be oppositional in nature, they are not truly rooted in fighting Authority, as much as the rooted in finding agency. For example, a person with ADHD may find themselves fighting an authority figure because they took a candy bar they were eating and want the candy bar back. A person with ODD would fighting the authority figure because they were an authority figure, forgetting about the candy bar.RESPONSE COST is understanding the consequences of our actions, later down the road.-------cover art by: Sol Vázqueztechnical support by: Bobby Richards

Are you holding back from scaling your practice because you think it's just not possible for you? In this episode, I'm diving headfirst into the three most common (and limiting) myths I hear from therapists who are ready to grow beyond the 1:1 model, but aren't sure what's holding them back. From fear of managing people to believing courses don't sell anymore, I'm breaking down exactly why these outdated beliefs are blocking your potential. If you've ever said, “I don't want to manage people,” or “courses don't work anymore,” or “it's just not possible for me,” then this is the episode you need. You'll walk away with a fresh mindset and a clear understanding of how scaling can fit into your unique lifestyle and values as a therapist. This isn't just about growing your income—it's about designing a business (and life) that feels aligned, exciting, and deeply fulfilling. Let's bust these myths wide open and start building the future you're dreaming about. Topics Covered In This Episode: 7:56 - The hidden truth behind “group practice owners don't make money” 10:22 - A surprising way to profit from your very first hire 13:08 - Are courses really dead—or are you just missing one critical piece? 15:46 - Why your marketing might not be the problem (hint: it's the product) 17:02 - How tough economies create stronger, more strategic entrepreneurs 19:23 - The real belief holding you back (and how to get out of your own way) 22:12 - What happens when you surround yourself with the right people If you are looking to scale your practice beyond 1-1 this year, the Scale Up Mastermind is open and accepting applications for our September cohort. I encourage you to take a look at it and if this episode speaks to you, don't forget to hit subscribe and leave a review.   Resources Mentioned: Scale your practice beyond 1-1 this year with the Scale Up Mastermind 

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome guest Dr. Emily Tunks, Founder of Embody Being and Research Trial Psychedelics Assisted Psychotherapist, to the podcast to explore her work in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for first responders and her passion for understanding potential somatic implications of psychedelic medicines. Dr. Tunks shares her experience and knowledge regarding therapist support and well-being, and discusses the need for integrating Indigenous wisdom into psychedelic research.   The conversation explores somatic and relational foundations in psychedelic therapy, and Dr. Tonks emphasizes the importance of somatic psychotherapy and relational depth in supporting clients through expanded states of consciousness. She advocates for an approach where nervous system regulation, co-regulation, and attachment repair are key components, especially when working with medicines like MDMA and psilocybin. Dr. Tunks questions the fixation on mystical experiences as therapeutic benchmarks. Instead, she proposes measuring success through the quality of the relational field, the client's safety, and their capacity to experience nourishment and trust.Dr. T and Truth Fairy discuss the therapist's experience with Dr. Tunks, especially in the areas of burnout, well-being, and regulation. They highlight the need for therapist preparation, including their own embodiment practices, peer support, and supervised exposure to non-ordinary states. Dr. Tunks identifies something called the “trough of disillusionment,” which she explains as the time where hype around psychedelics comes face-to-face with the reality of systemic limitations and poor trial design. There is a need to mature the movement and deepen ethics, which Dr. T and Truth Fairy address with Dr. Tunks.“You know you have contact highs, as you said, if you've done a work… if you have some neurodiversion in there. If you've got some, hopefully, some intuition. We are going to feel stuff. We are going to have contact highs and we're going to have trauma lows, and being able to hold relationships, you know, in a way that will also meet regulatory standards. Let's not forget that when we're working above ground, we have to always be able to justify our behavior to sometimes people who have never had a therapy session in their life, like our medical boards, our registration boards. They are in an old paradigm.” - Dr. Emily Tunks About Dr. Emily Tunks:Emily aims to support individuals understand their whole selves, body and mind, so that their health, relationships and life purpose may thrive, in spite of physical set-backs and ongoing challenges.Emily co-majored in Psychology and Psychophysiology at Swinburne University, and after obtaining first class honours, she was awarded a full scholarship to complete a Doctorate of Psychology (Health) at Deakin University.

If you're tired of posting and getting crickets, this episode is going to change how you think about writing copy for your therapy practice. I share a powerful content creation process I used this week that led to 30 aligned pieces of content in just a few hours and none of it came from AI or a template. This process is about tapping into your actual experience, getting into energetic alignment, and writing from a place of wisdom and service. This episode is for therapists in private practice who feel stuck, unsure what to say online, or worried that their words aren't landing. You'll walk away with a simple, soulful strategy for generating content that connects and converts. Plus, I'll walk you through how my Oracle card reading cracked open a new layer of insight into what your audience actually wants from you and how I turned it into value-packed posts. If you're over AI-sounding copy, if your Instagram posts aren't getting traction, or if you're not sure what to say in your emails or on your website... this episode is for you. Action step for a quick win: Ask yourself, “What is a lesson I've learned from a recent client session that others could benefit from?” Write down a single sentence that sums up the insight and then use it to create a relatable post. That's how you start creating copy that truly connects.

You've been avoiding it, haven't you? That little blue LinkedIn notification sitting in your email inbox, taunting you with connection requests you never respond to.Maybe you think LinkedIn is just for corporate salespeople in suits, not compassionate healers like you.Maybe you've tried posting once or twice, felt like a fraud trying to "market yourself," and promptly retreated back to the safety of your private practice bubble.What if I told you that avoiding LinkedIn isn't protecting your authenticity—it's limiting your impact?While we stay invisible on the one platform where our ideal referral partners are actively looking for us, we're missing conversations and opportunities that could transform our practices.In this episode, LinkedIn expert Brenda Meller reveals:Why LinkedIn is actually the PERFECT platform for therapists (professional relationships, not personal oversharing)The "Social Media Pie" philosophy that reframes networking from taking to givingHer game-changing 15-minute daily strategy that even the busiest therapists can maintainThe 80/20 rule for posting that eliminates the "salesy" feeling entirelyHow to optimize your profile to attract referral partners (not just clients)Why "netgiving" beats networking every time—and how to do it authenticallyThe algorithm secrets that make your content actually get seen by the right peopleSpecific engagement techniques that build social media karma and reciprocityBottom Line: The difference between therapists who have thriving referral networks and those who struggle in isolation isn't clinical skills—it's the willingness to show up professionally and build authentic relationships.

In this powerful episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with my good friend Christy Forsyth—a licensed mental health counselor, certified clinical hypnotherapist, intuitive, and life coach—for a raw and transformative conversation about healing, energy, and spiritual growth. Christy takes us through her incredible evolution from a traditional therapist working in mental health clinics to becoming the founder of Soul Therapy, a dynamic approach that fuses clinical psychology with spirituality, energy work, and intuitive guidance. Her journey is one of courage, authenticity, and divine alignment—proving that you don't have to choose between science and spirit. You can integrate both. We explore her early experiences with intuitive gifts, how she used to suppress them in fear of being misunderstood, and how embracing those gifts allowed her to help clients on a deeper level. Christy shares the story of her spiritual awakening, what it looked like to break free from the limitations of traditional therapy, and how she now supports people in stepping into alignment, raising their vibration, and creating a life of purpose. If you're someone who's felt the call to connect deeper with your intuition, explore energy healing, or find a path that combines mental wellness with spiritual truth, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Christy's transition from clinical therapy to launching her own spiritual wellness brand What “Soul Therapy” is and how it bridges science and spirit How to recognize and develop your intuition—even if you've ignored it for years Tools for raising your energetic frequency and creating a more magnetic life The connection between mental health, energy blocks, and spiritual awakening How to ground your spiritual gifts and integrate them into everyday life Why balancing spiritual expansion with earthly experiences is key to living fulfilled Who This Episode Is For: Seekers on a spiritual journey Therapists and coaches who feel called to work beyond the traditional box Empaths and intuitives who want to understand their energy and gifts Entrepreneurs seeking soul-aligned business strategies Anyone looking for practical steps to live a more aligned and fulfilling life

In this powerful and deeply human episode, Lisa is joined by two internationally recognized leaders in the field of complex trauma and dissociation—Ana Gómez and Jill Hosey—for a heartfelt conversation about their monumental new release: The Handbook of Complex Trauma and Dissociation in Children. More than just a book discussion, this episode offers a reverence-based reframe of dissociation—not as pathology, but as a brilliant, adaptive survival strategy used by children navigating overwhelming experiences. Ana and Jill share their personal insights from editing this groundbreaking 900+ page volume, which weaves together theory, research, clinical case work, and embodied practices from over 60 contributors. Together, they explore the profound responsibility therapists carry—not only to understand dissociation in their clients but to honor how it arises in their own inner worlds. You'll hear candid reflections on what it means to be a regulated presence in the therapy room, how fear of dissociation may show up in clinicians, and how co-regulation becomes the foundation for relational healing. Whether you're just beginning to explore the topic of dissociation or are a seasoned trauma therapist, this episode invites you to shift from fear to curiosity—from fragmentation to integration.

In this episode of Beyond Private Practice, I'm pulling back the curtain on why selling coaching often feels hard for therapists, helpers, and healers — especially first-gen Latinas and daughters of immigrants — and how to reframe selling so it feels ethical, aligned, and confident. You'll hear my own journey of unlearning therapist conditioning that made me feel small, neutral, and invisible — and why I now believe selling is an act of service, honesty, and sacred leadership. This episode is for the therapist who: Feels uncomfortable or guilty about selling coaching services Worries about being “too self-promotional” or pushy Questions whether her community can or will pay for her services Wants to understand how to invite clients in without sacrificing integrity Here's What You'll Learn: Why therapist training teaches us to fear self-promotion, marketing, and sales How the narrative that “our community can't afford our work” is something to unlearn The three core belief shifts I teach clients so they can sell coaching ethically: A real-life example of a client who overcame fear of being seen, shared vulnerably, and booked her first dream coaching client — without proving or pushing If you're a therapist, helper, or first-gen Latina who's craving a business that reflects your values and allows you to work with aligned clients confidently, this episode will give you the mindset tools to stop hiding and start selling coaching with integrity.

Why It's Hard for Therapists to Be Friends Curt and Katie chat about why therapists often struggle with friendships—especially with non-therapists. They explore the impact of emotional labor, overidentifying as caretakers, and the challenges of setting boundaries and expressing needs in personal relationships. Key Takeaways: Therapists often default to caretaking in friendships, especially if they have a history of being “the helper.” Emotional exhaustion from client work can make socializing difficult. Confidentiality and identity boundaries limit what therapists can share about their day. Friendships become healthier when therapists drop the therapist role and prioritize reciprocity. Intentional communication and boundary-setting help create sustainable relationships.

This week we're discussing The One Relationship That Could Be Key to Your Healing.   Too many of us were taught that trusting ourselves was dangerous. We were told our emotions couldn't be trusted, our hearts were deceitful, and our instincts were too “fleshly” to follow. Especially for solo parents who have lived through trauma or spiritual manipulation, this message gets internalized early and reinforced often. We stop listening to our gut and outsource decisions to experts, church leaders, or even social media. But ignoring your inner voice only deepens confusion and disconnection. Therapist and podcast host Adam Young joins us this week to help unpack how we unlearn those harmful messages, rebuild trust in our bodies, and begin listening to the voice within. Today, we cover three main points: Why you've learned not to trust yourself, and how to gently unlearn it. How to tell the difference between your true inner voice and trauma-driven urges. Practices to rebuild trust in your body and story.   Resources Mentioned In This Episode Make Sense of Your Story: Why Engaging Your Story With Kindness Changes Everything by Adam Young  The Place We Find Ourselves hosted by Adam Young: A podcast focused on trauma, healing, attachment, and story work.

Welcome back to Dr. M's Women and Children First podcast where we look at the world of Women and Children's Health through an anthropological lens with the humble understanding that we have a lot to learn. Today, we're honored to welcome Kristin Jones, a seasoned occupational therapist from Mooresville, North Carolina, whose career reflects both deep compassion and bold innovation in the service of neurodivergent children. Kristin brings 24 years of clinical and educational experience, including the past 14 spent working in a K-12 public charter school. Recently, she shifted gears in the most personal of ways—taking time away from school-based therapy to homeschool her daughter, who has Down Syndrome. Kristin earned her Master of Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University in 2000 and has spent her career supporting children and families across a broad spectrum of settings from early intervention and outpatient sensory clinics to schools and feeding therapy. Her passion lies in translating complex concepts from brain development and the Autistic lived experience into practical, accessible strategies for educators. In addition to her clinical work, Kristin is committed to the education of future therapists. She serves as adjunct faculty at Misericordia University and teaches with Education Resources Inc. Her presentations with the Therapist Neurodiversity Collective reflect her ongoing mission to uplift neurodivergent voices and move beyond outdated therapeutic norms. Kristin's voice is one of clarity and respect for children, for families, and for the evolving science of how we learn, communicate, and thrive. Let's dive in, Dr. M

#203. Is your relationship just going through a rough patch — or is it time to walk away? This week, I'm joined by relationship therapist and author Laura Caruso (The Empathy Deficit) for a candid conversation about love, conflict, and compatibility. We talk about how she dates as a therapist, what really happens in couples therapy, and how she personally handled a recent breakup. Laura breaks down the difference between healthy conflict and chronic struggle, and shares tools for navigating relationships where one partner is anxious and the other is avoidant.
