Podcasts about therapists

A Note from James:I've been in therapy for more than three decades.Different therapists. Different kinds of therapy. Different crises.And one question has always fascinated me: What is the therapist actually thinking while I'm sitting there talking?Are they bored? Are they judging me? Are they secretly Googling me?My guest today, Lori Gottlieb, knows the answer—because she's both sides of the story.She's a psychotherapist, author of the bestselling book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, and the writer behind the popular advice column “Ask the Therapist.”But what makes Lori unique is that she's willing to pull back the curtain on therapy itself: what therapists think, what patients hide, and why people keep repeating the same patterns in relationships and life.This episode originally aired several years ago, but the ideas still feel incredibly relevant—especially now, when conversations about mental health are everywhere.So if you've ever wondered what's really happening on the other side of the therapy couch, this conversation is for you.Episode Description:Psychotherapist and bestselling author Lori Gottlieb joins James to discuss what really happens inside therapy—and what both therapists and patients often misunderstand about the process.Drawing from her book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, Lori explains why therapy isn't just about venting problems but about understanding the patterns that drive them.James shares his own experiences as a long-time therapy patient, raising questions many people quietly wonder: Do therapists judge their patients? Do they get bored? Do they Google the people they treat?Lori answers candidly, discussing the hidden dynamics of therapy, the emotional complexity therapists carry home with them, and why the most important conversations in therapy are often the ones people hesitate to bring up.The conversation also explores relationships, secrets, childhood experiences, and why many people keep repeating the same life patterns—even when they know better.What You'll Learn:Why therapy isn't just about discussing problems—it's about understanding patternsThe difference between content and process in relationshipsWhy therapists rarely get bored—even when problems seem trivialThe surprising ways therapists think about their patientsWhy the hardest topics in therapy often show up at the end of a sessionTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] Lori Gottlieb on Therapy as “Editing Your Life Story”[00:03:00] Introduction to Lori Gottlieb[00:04:16] Inside the Book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone[00:05:02] Why Therapists Need Therapists[00:06:17] Are Therapists Bored Listening to Problems?[00:07:00] Content vs Process: The Real Work of Therapy[00:09:00] Why Pain Has No Hierarchy[00:10:23] James's “Statistician” Theory of Therapy[00:11:00] Why Every Patient's Story Is Unique[00:12:00] Finding Something Likable in Every Patient[00:12:45] The Hollywood Producer Patient[00:15:12] The Most “Boring” Therapy Patients[00:16:03] Labeling What's Happening in a Conversation[00:18:00] Building Trust Without Oversharing[00:20:00] Judgment vs Protectiveness in Therapy[00:23:04] What Therapists Wish Patients Knew[00:24:11] Do Therapists Care What Patients Think of Them?[00:25:00] Different Styles of Therapy[00:29:00] Advice vs Understanding in Therapy[00:32:51] Do Therapists Ever Google Their Patients?[00:36:00] Why Patients Googling Therapists Can Backfire[00:38:00] The Awkward Beginning of Every Therapy Session[00:41:00] Working With a Patient Facing Terminal Cancer[00:44:00] The Emotional Impact of Therapy Work[00:46:00] Handling Suicidal Patients[00:47:30] When Therapy Ends[00:50:00] Why Saying Goodbye Matters in Therapy[00:53:00] “Doorknob Disclosures” — The Secrets Patients Reveal LastLinks and Resources:Check out Lori's website and sign up for her newsletter at Lorigottlieb.comAsk the Therapist is the column Lori writes for the New York Times.

In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Budrius to pull back the curtain on her journey to crossing the seven-figure mark as a therapist and business owner. We talk about how she built a thriving practice centered around therapy intensives, why she leaned heavily into SEO instead of social media early on, and how a consulting business naturally grew from therapists asking, "How are you doing this?" Amanda shares what it looked like to evolve from simply wanting to replace her old salary to realizing the massive potential that existed inside her practice model. We also dive into the real lessons that came with scaling. Amanda opens up about the importance of building the right team, the pressure many entrepreneurs feel to constantly create new offers, and how simplifying her business actually helped it grow faster. We explore the mindset challenges that come with visibility, handling criticism online, and learning how to balance ambition with a nervous system that doesn't always want to slow down. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to scale while protecting your energy and your life outside of work, this conversation will give you an honest behind-the-scenes look. Topics Covered in this Episode: 3:12 - The unexpected business model that helped Amanda scale her practice 6:48 - How therapy intensives changed the revenue potential of her private practice 9:55 - The moment she realized seven figures might actually be possible 13:27 - The team investment that made scaling sustainable instead of overwhelming 16:41 - The mistake many entrepreneurs make when trying to grow faster 18:59 - What happens when visibility online brings criticism with it 21:04 - The surprising challenge that showed up after success 22:15 - Why learning to tolerate "slower" seasons became part of her growth   Make sure you subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode, and take a moment to leave a quick review.

Most practice owners think culture problems start with people. But what if culture actually starts with numbers? In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Club podcast, Nathan Shields and Adam Robin have a candid conversation about what really happens when production slips, urgency fades, and leadership loses clarity around business metrics. Adam shares transparently how taking his eye off the numbers last year led to cultural drift, reduced urgency, and low-level anxiety across his clinics. But once he rebuilt his proforma, clarified expectations, and defined hard production targets, everything changed. This episode is about ownership, accountability, and the invisible connection between financial metrics and morale. They dig into:The four types of practice owners when it comes to knowing their numbersWhy “production is the basis of morale”How lack of clarity creates cultural erosionThe power of defining a weekly visit target per providerWhy metrics must be red or green — never grayHow to create urgency without being emotionalWhy every KPI needs a clear owner and battle planHow daily scorecards create behavior changeThe difference between knowing your numbers and knowing what to do about themWhy EOD deadlines force prioritization and eliminate distraction If you've ever felt low-level anxiety about your finances…If your schedules aren't as full as they should be…If you've struggled to get buy-in from your team… This conversation will give you clarity and a tactical reset. Because when you get clear on the numbers, you lead with conviction. And when you lead with conviction, your culture follows.

In this episode Mariska and I discuss some things to consider as clients talk about their medications and how a therapist can stay in their scope of practice while talking about meds.

This week's scriptures:Psalm 95John 4v1-42We often think of Jesus as a life coach, a friend, companion, or even a therapist. Psalm 95 also invites us to see Jesus in another way: as King. This week Adam explores why Psalm 95 invites us to pray honestly about our call to obey God. 

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Malphrus, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist in private practice who works with adolescents and adults — particularly boys and men. Ryan spent 15 years working in level-five special education schools before transitioning to private practice, and he brings a grounded, refreshingly honest perspective on the struggles facing young men today.We dive into how boys communicate through behavior and aggression, and why the instinct to shut those impulses down often backfires. Ryan shares his own experience of internalizing societal messages that told him his natural masculine traits — his drive, his assertiveness, his sexuality — were problems to be managed rather than understood. We explore the red pill pipeline and "looksmaxxing" culture, and why young men are turning to these communities when therapy and education fail to speak to their actual needs.We also discuss the crisis of purpose facing men in modern society, why schools are not boy-friendly, the vital role of physical play and risk-taking in healthy development, and how parents — especially single moms — can learn to step back and let their sons work through conflict. We close with a conversation about differentiation: that psychological maturity that allows us to have feelings without being controlled by them, and how adults modeling that capacity gives children the room to develop it themselves.Ryan Malphrus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland and Connecticut providing individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. With over 10 years of experience, Ryan specializes in working with men and boys, offering a space to explore identity without judgment. His primary orientation is psychodynamic, and he is a board-certified clinical supervisor.

In this episode of A Fresh Story: Simple Tips to Support Yourself, host Olivia Howell sits down with Meredith Beardmore — therapist, author, and YouTuber — whose entire practice is dedicated to helping women navigate the painful and often overlooked experience of loving someone with an addiction. With both professional expertise and personal lived experience, Meredith brings rare authority to a topic that affects millions of people silently. Whether you are currently in a relationship with someone struggling with alcoholism or narcotic addiction, or navigating life after leaving one, this episode delivers the kind of addiction recovery support and emotional resilience tools you need to begin putting yourself first.Meredith's core message is clear: the pain of loving an addict is valid, and self-care is not selfish — it is survival. She walks listeners through her top practical strategies, beginning with the critical importance of establishing personal boundaries and recognizing that your loved one's needs cannot continue to override your own. She strongly recommends Al-Anon and Nar-Anon — free, widely available support groups focused not on the addict, but on the loved ones — as essential tools for emotional resilience and starting over after an addictive relationship. Meredith also addresses the often-neglected foundation of physical wellbeing: sleep hygiene, nutrition, and regular self-care practices that protect your nervous system from the chronic stress that loving an addict produces. For those seeking therapy, she advises specifically asking for a clinician experienced with loved ones of addicts or, where unavailable, a therapist specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery — noting the significant overlap in patterns and tactics.Meredith is also the author of two powerful resources: Hey Addiction, Thanks for Nothing — a brutally honest self-help workbook for those currently loving an addict — and The Plan B Chronicles: Divorce, Defiance, Liberation, a memoir chronicling her own journey through divorce recovery and the path to finding herself on the other side. Her message to anyone listening who feels trapped, ashamed, or alone? Let go of the guilt. You cannot save someone from addiction. You can, however, save yourself — and there is an entire community ready to support you in doing exactly that.

If you struggle with low self-esteem, self-doubt, or feeling not good enough, ands it impacts your anxiety and wellbeing - you're in the right place. Honestly, a lot of people look confident and happy on the outside but privately feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxious attachment, perfectionism, and self-criticism.In this episode, I (Psychotherapist and Self-Esteem Specialist, Carly Ann) open up a deeper conversation about what low self-esteem really is and why it can continue showing up even when you are doing the inner work. - we look at what keeps it going.Low self-worth often isn't just about confidence. It can be connected to deeper beliefs we carry about ourselves and the subtle patterns that keep those beliefs alive in everyday life, I will explain more in this episode.If certain situations trigger intense self-doubt, you jump to the worst conclusions about yourself, or things just feel so difficult, I think this could really help you today.I work with thoughtful, capable people who often appear confident externally but internally struggle with rumination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and feeling like they are never quite good enough.This episode is for anyone beginning to question their relationship with themselves and wanting to understand low self-esteem and self-worth on a deeper level.If you are learning to reparent yourself, build self-acceptance, and develop a kinder inner voice - welcome to the community.

Attachment: What Counsellors Need to Know – Why Check-Ins and Check-Outs Matter In Episode 368 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly guide you through three key areas of counselling practice, learning, and development. In Ethical, Sustainable Practice, Rory and Ken explore when media coverage enters the counselling room, examining how major reporting on trauma and abuse can increase client contact and shape presentations. In Practice Matters, Rory is interviewed by Sarah Henry about his latest CPD lecture on attachment, exploring why attachment theory is central to therapeutic work. And in Student Services, Rory and Ken discuss the role of check-ins and check-outs in counselling training, and why these processes matter far beyond the classroom. When Media Coverage Enters the Counselling Room [starts at 03:18 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore when media coverage enters the counselling room, examining how high-profile reporting of abuse and trauma can trigger an increase in client enquiries and influence therapeutic presentations. Key points discussed include: Major news stories can act as a trigger, prompting clients to seek therapy for historic trauma. The “Savile Effect” explains why disclosures often surge following widespread media attention. Therapists may notice increases in presentations such as flashbacks, shame, hyperarousal, and crisis responses. Working in a trauma-informed way prioritises safety, pacing, choice, and avoiding re-traumatisation. Having a surge plan in place helps therapists manage capacity, referrals, and ethical boundaries. Supervision is essential for managing risk, vicarious trauma, and professional decision-making during these periods. Attachment: What Counsellors Need to Know [starts at 26:54 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Sarah Henry interviews Rory Lees-Oakes about his recent lecture on attachment theory and its relevance to counselling practice. Key points from this discussion include: Therapy itself is an attachment process, with the therapist offering stability, presence, and emotional availability. Attachment styles are patterns, not pathology, and shape how clients relate to themselves and others. The therapist can become a secure base, supporting repair and earned security within the therapeutic relationship. Boundaries, consistency, and predictability are central to creating safety in attachment work. Ruptures and repairs are inevitable and can become powerful corrective relational experiences. Attachment dynamics show up in first contact, transference, countertransference, and endings in therapy. Why Check-Ins and Check-Outs Matter [starts at 51:42 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore the purpose of check-ins and check-outs in counselling training and how these practices translate into professional work. Key points include: Check-ins help students transition from the outside world into a reflective learning space. They allow tutors to assess group safety, emotional readiness, and potential risk. Sharing emotional states builds empathy, cohesion, and self-awareness within the group. Check-outs support reflection, integration of learning, and emotional containment at the end of sessions. These processes mirror therapeutic practice, modelling how sessions begin and end with clients. Developing this discipline in training supports ethical, present, and grounded practice post-qualification.

Should Texas Therapists Stop Treating Kids? Texas SB14, Gender-Affirming Care, and the Risks for Therapists In this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy discuss a new interpretation of Texas SB14 that may place therapists at risk for providing gender-affirming care to trans youth. They explore how a recent opinion from the Texas Attorney General could broaden the law's reach beyond medical providers to include mental health professionals. Curt and Katie break down what this interpretation could mean for therapists working with minors, including possible risks related to licensure, malpractice coverage, mandated reporting, and criminal liability. They also discuss the ethical tension between evidence-based care and compliance with state law, and the difficult decisions clinicians may face when considering whether to continue working with kids. Key Takeaways: A new interpretation of Texas SB14 may include mental health professionals as part of the “healthcare pipeline” facilitating gender transition for minors. The legal term “facilitating” could potentially include referrals, letters, or even supportive therapy conversations. Therapists may face risks related to licensure complaints, malpractice coverage exclusions, or legal consequences if their care is interpreted as supporting gender transition. Mandated child abuse reporting requirements could create additional legal and ethical concerns. Clinicians may need to assess their personal risk tolerance when deciding whether to continue working with minors.

In this episode of Trail Runner Nation's Aging as an Athlete series, along with Krissy Moehl, we welcome elite ultrarunner and therapist Darcy Piceu for a thoughtful conversation about longevity in endurance sports. Drawing on more than two decades of racing at the highest level, Darcy explains that there is no "magic pill" for staying in the sport long term, emphasizing instead the importance of self-care, strength work, listening to the body, and adapting training as athletes age. The discussion explores the mental side of endurance, including acceptance of changing performance, learning to manage negative thoughts during long races, and developing the wisdom that comes from decades of experience. Darcy also shares how mindfulness and time in nature play a powerful role in both mental health and athletic performance, something she incorporates into her therapy practice. We reflect on the evolving identity of an athlete over time, balancing competitiveness with enjoyment, family life, and other pursuits beyond running. We highlight that staying in the sport for decades is less about chasing podiums and more about cultivating resilience, perspective, and a lasting love for the trail.

Welcome back to another episode of Damn We Grown! This week, Mike and Tiff are pouring up the truth and breaking down the wild, double-edged sword of modern technology. Because let's be real: the internet was supposed to make our lives easier, but right now, it's mostly just testing our patience and our marriages.The Telehealth Meltdown: Tiff spills the tea on her blood-pressure-raising battle with a therapy app. Nothing says "mental wellness" quite like spazzing out over a glitchy login screen when you're racing against a 15-minute grace period.Rise of the Machines: The robots are officially coming for everybody's gig. Mike and Tiff talk about AI stepping into the workplace, the government drama surrounding it, and why nobody is safe from the algorithm.Digital Infidelity: Can you actually cheat with a robot? We're diving deep into the wild world of AI companions, secret burner accounts, and the messy etiquette of double-tapping swimsuit pics on the timeline.The "Work Spouse" Trap: We are laying down the law on the whole "work husband" and "work wife" foolishness. Where exactly do you draw the line before sharing a spreadsheet turns into crossing a serious boundary?"If you're not being open with your spouse, that's considered cheating. There can be physical cheating, there can be emotional cheating... and of course with AI, it's going to be more of the emotional." — Tiff

In this follow-up episode, the discussion dives deeper into the psychology behind violent extremism, the mindset of people drawn into terrorist networks, and the uncomfortable truth about how radicalization actually works.

"NARM® opened a whole new world to me... it's not just something you put on. NARM is, for me, a way of life. It's not just something you throw at somebody." - Elizabeth Remic Simonian   On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes Elizabeth Remic Simonian, an integrative and somatic therapist based in Rotterdam, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, and trained jazz vocalist, for a deeply heartful conversation about how the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®) transformed not only her clinical work but her entire way of being in relationship with others.   Elizabeth traces her journey from conservatory-trained musician to trauma therapist, sharing the pivotal moments that called her toward depth and healing. She reflects on how encountering NARM for the first time revealed something she had never experienced in years of therapy: being asked what she actually wanted. From there, Elizabeth explores the profound shifts that unfolded as she began tracking her own efforting, reclaiming authenticity, and understanding that leaving yourself out of the equation is its own form of disconnection. She also shares how bringing NARM's relational presence into her music teaching created a palpable shift in her students' openness and creative freedom, and how singing with more embodiment and less shame changed her relationship with her own voice. The conversation closes with a tender example from Elizabeth's clinical practice, illustrating what it looks like to meet a client's vulnerability with genuine humanity rather than professional distance.   We invite you to listen to the full episode and follow Transforming Trauma on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or your favorite podcast app. *** SPACE: SPACE is an Inner Development Program of Support and Self-Discovery for Therapists on the Personal, Interpersonal, and Transpersonal Levels offered by the Complex Trauma Training Center.

When Kirsty turned to a chatbot for help, she was feeling trapped and isolated. Something in her marriage wasn't right - a constant feeling of tension that would sometimes erupt into arguments, even violence. When she asked ChatGPT for advice, it told her that her relationship with her husband might be abusive. In the fourth episode of Tech Tonic: Artificial intimacy, FT tech reporter Cristina Criddle asks if chatbots that can mimic empathy and understanding are ready to replace human therapists. Can chatbots be good for our mental health? And what impact could this have on our human relationships?

Did you know that happy people are less judgmental? Nobody likes being judged… and for the judgmental ones, it doesn't feel good either. We've all been judgy, and the truth is, being overly critical of others is often linked to insecurity, anxiety, perfectionism, and unhappiness. Subscribe to my new Substack! In this week's quickie, we're unpacking the psychology of judgment: where it comes from, why we do it, and how to become less judgmental in a world that fuels comparison and criticism about everything from how we parent, to how we look, to how we earn and spend our money. Judgment usually says more about our own wounds than someone else's behaviour. So we're exploring the psychological drivers behind judging, and psychology-backed tools to shift into a more curious, understanding, and compassionate mindset. Tune in to hear: Why the ego needs to feel “right” The link between perfectionism and criticism How insecurity and comparison fuels judgment The connection between self-judgment and judging others Understanding the Fundamental Attribution Error The blind spots I've had to confront in my own judgments Using curiosity as the antidote to judgment Challenging your assumptions and biases Practicing self-compassion to reduce projection   For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Money can sometimes feel easier to manage in your business than in your relationship. In this episode, I sit down with Ed Coambs to gently explore what happens when you bring your money skills home and begin navigating them alongside a partner. We talk about financial intimacy, emotional safety, and what it truly takes to have honest, grounded conversations when two nervous systems — and two lifelong money stories — are in the room."Financial intimacy is the experience of being able to talk openly, safely, vulnerably about your shared financial life, your money hopes, dreams, aspirations, as well as your fears, worries, and anxieties." - Ed CoambsBuilding Financial Intimacy and Healthy Money ConversationsIn a relationship, money is rarely just about numbers. It's about safety, power, vulnerability, and the stories we each carry from childhood into adulthood. In this conversation, Ed and I unpack how financial intimacy gets built — and how it quietly breaks down — through everyday conversations and unspoken dynamics.I often see couples fall into predictable roles: one partner pushes to engage with money, the other pulls away. Over time, these roles can harden into resentment or shutdown, especially when income shifts, career growth, or differing values enter the picture.Repair is possible! It begins with slowing down, naming old hurts, owning the part you've played in past conflicts, and choosing to approach money conversations with collaboration instead of defensiveness. When you tend to both the emotional and practical sides of money together, trust deepens — and conflict softens.Emotional Patterns, Relationship Shifts, and Money ConversationsMoney shows up in relationships through tone, body language, and nervous system reactions — not just spreadsheets. In this episode, we dig into what's happening underneath the surface when money becomes tense.(00:04:39) Understanding Financial Intimacy(00:06:54) Exploring Emotions Around Money(00:15:21) Couples and Evolving Money Views(00:18:32) Navigating Money Dynamics in Relationships(00:21:52) Owning Your True Feelings(00:27:40) Modeling Respect Through Conversations(00:30:11) Money and Relationships with KindnessWhat It Really Takes to Talk About Money TogetherBuilding financial intimacy means learning how to stay present when money stirs up fear, shame, or old family patterns. When you start noticing the emotional tone of your conversations — not just the content — you can begin to shift from tension into connection.When you begin speaking honestly about what money really represents for you — security, freedom, worth, control — power struggles often soften. Over time, those small moments of repair and respect not only change your relationship, they quietly shape the money story your children will inherit as well.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

In Episode 346 – February 2026 Month in Review, Through a Therapist's Eyes revisits three powerful conversations that all circle one core theme: how unseen wounds shape the self. In Episode 343, we unpacked why emotional abuse—chronic criticism, gaslighting, humiliation, control disguised as love—can damage a person's identity just as deeply as physical harm, especially because it thrives in ambiguity and leaves no visible bruises. In Episode 344, we explored emotional neglect, the quiet absence of attunement that teaches someone their inner world doesn't matter, whether in parenting, marriage, friendships, or even self-relationship. Then in Episode 345, we began breaking the silence around male sexual abuse and sex trafficking, challenging cultural myths, examining how trauma rewires the nervous system, and asking whether survival responses like shutdown, anger, or hyper-control have been mistaken for personality. This month's review brings these threads together with practical questions and clinical insight, inviting listeners to reconsider what abuse really looks like—and how healing begins when what was hidden is finally named. Tune in to see February Month in Review Through a Therapist's Eyes.  

How do you choose the right therapist? What does being shot have to do with blindness? And why is grabbing a blind person one of the most harmful things you can do — even if you're “just trying to help”?In this episode, we unpack trauma, recovery, and respect. From navigating mental health care to understanding how violence can cause vision loss, to learning how to properly support blind individuals, this conversation is about autonomy, awareness, and doing better.

The Licensing Racket: Therapist Licensing, Discipline, and Access to Care – An Interview with Rebecca Haw Allensworth Who does licensing protect - the public or the profession? Curt and Katie talk with Rebecca Haw Allensworth, law professor and author of The Licensing Racket, about how professional licensing boards actually function, and what that means for therapists, discipline, and access to care. After attending licensing board meetings across professions and states, Rebecca identified a troubling pattern: entry requirements that continually “ratchet up,” while discipline decisions can lean toward giving professionals the benefit of the doubt. The result? Higher barriers to entry, workforce shortages, and inconsistent public protection. This episode explores therapist licensing reform, self-regulation, professional turf wars, board funding structures, and the tension between prestige, professional identity, and public safety. About Our Guest:Rebecca Haw Allensworth is the David Daniels Allen Professor of Law at Vanderbilt Law School and author of The Licensing Racket: How We Decide Who Is Allowed to Work and Why It Goes Wrong. Her research focuses on antitrust and professional licensing and has been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court. Key Takeaways: • Why licensing requirements tend to increase over time • How self-regulation can create blind spots in discipline • The impact of licensing barriers on workforce shortages and access to care • Why complaints about unlicensed practice may be prioritized over client complaints • How professional identity and funding structures shape board decisions Full show notes and resources: mtsgpodcast.com Join our community: Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano https://groomsymusic.com/

This is a very special interview with therapist and author, Jasmin Lee Cori. Her book, The Emotionally Absent Mother: How to Recognize and Heal the Invisible Effect of Childhood Emotional Neglect was pivotal for me when exploring mothering and my history as a daughter. I found reading her book very healing, and I have adopted her affirmations as those I use when helping others, especially adults who have early wounds and mothers who want to be the best version of themselves. Her affirmations are:I am glad you are hereI see youYou are special to meI respect youYou can turn to me for helpYour needs are important to meI'm here for you; I'll make time for youI'll keep you safeYou can rest in meI delight in you Jasmin Lee Cori has lived a life of learning and healing. She practiced for many years as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado, specializing in work with adults who experienced childhood neglect and abuse. Jasmin is the author of 5 nonfiction books including The Emotionally Absent Mother, Healing From The Emotionally Absent Mother, and Healing From Trauma.Jasmin taught in a variety of colleges and vocational schools and is passionate about psychological and spiritual growth, as well as holistic health.Her website: https://www.jasmincori.com/

In this episode of The Untethered Podcast, Hallie Bulkin tackles a question many feeding specialists quietly wrestle with:Why can two therapists treat the same child — and achieve completely different outcomes?The answer isn't more techniques. It's clinical reasoning.Hallie dives into the complexity of pediatric feeding therapy, unpacking why progress often stalls when clinicians focus on surface-level feeding skills instead of identifying the primary systems driving a child's feeding patterns. She challenges therapists to move beyond siloed thinking and into an integrated, systems-based approach that transforms therapy outcomes.This conversation marks a powerful shift — from simply treating feeding challenges to stepping into clinical leadership.If you've ever wondered why some cases feel stuck… or why therapy timelines stretch longer than expected… this episode will sharpen your lens and elevate your practice.

I break down why SEO isn't dead (despite what the internet is screaming), but it is very different than it was even a year ago. We're no longer just talking about showing up on Google. Now we're navigating visibility on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Claude, Google, and Bing. I'll explain the big pivot away from "content is king" and toward something much more powerful in 2026: legitimacy, credibility, and topical authority. I also walk you through three practical shifts you can implement quickly (without writing 1,500-word blogs twice a week) to help you show up in AI searches and attract more private-pay clients. We'll talk about zero-click searches, why your Google Business Profile and directory bios matter more than ever, and how to structure your website so AI tools actually recommend you. My intention with this episode is to show you exactly where to focus next. Topics Covered in this Episode: 3:12 - Why "SEO is dead" is a dramatic myth (and what's actually changing) 5:48 - The real reason "content is king" no longer applies in the AI era 8:10 -The credibility shift that gives therapists a major competitive advantage 10:27 - A simple website update that can dramatically improve AI visibility 12:02 - How clients are actually searching in tools like ChatGPT now 14:11 - What "zero-click searches" mean for your marketing strategy 16:05 - The overlooked sections of your online presence that now carry the most weight Join me Wednesday, March 11th at 1PM EST for a free masterclass on How To Make Your Private Practice Impossible To Miss In 2026  I'll walk you step-by-step on how to get your Private Practice to show up in Google search + ChatGPT using beginner-friendly SEO tools and AI hacks you can implement in minutes, plus community marketing that is a MUST in 2026.   Resources Mentioned: Register Here Today to Save Your Spot: https://www.theentrepreneurialtherapist.com/webinar Find out more about Alma here: helloalma.com/danielle Take 50% off your first 3 months of Simple Practice + a 7 day free trial using the link: simplepractice.com/danielle

Why are morning routines and bedtime routines so hard for ADHD and autistic kids? If your mornings feel chaotic… If bedtime turns into battles… If you've tried "sleep hygiene," reward charts, reminders, and it still falls apart… This episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with occupational therapist Dr. Peyton Gemmell to talk about why routines are especially difficult for neurodivergent kids and teens — and what actually helps. Here's what I need you to hear: It's not laziness. It's not defiance. It's executive functioning, sensory processing, transitions, and overwhelm. We break down: • Why morning chaos happens in ADHD and autistic children • How executive functioning impacts routines • Why traditional sleep hygiene advice often isn't enough • The role of sensory regulation in bedtime struggles • How to identify which part of the routine is actually hard • Simple, practical systems that reduce overwhelm (including a powerful visual basket strategy) • How to reduce shame while building real-life skills We also talk about something parents don't hear enough: The same routine will not work forever. Neurodivergent brains need toolkits — not rigid systems. Whether you're a parent, therapist, educator, or a neurodivergent adult trying to build sustainable routines, this episode offers practical, compassionate strategies rooted in neurodiversity-affirming care. If you're tired of feeling frustrated before 8am… If you want to support your child without increasing shame… If you're ready for systems that actually make sense… Press play. Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!
