    472: Healing at the Roots: EMDR for Pregnant and Postpartum Moms with Amity Olson, LCSW

    Today's episode focuses on EMDR, what it is, and how it can help struggling moms shift their mindsets at the root of trauma. We are discussing EMDR intensives, including how to assess your readiness for this type of healing, and how it differs from typical talk therapy. Join us to learn more! Amity Olson, LCSW, has been providing individual and group therapy since 2008. Her clinical work focuses on helping adults heal from trauma through evidence-based techniques. She owns Olson Counseling Services and currently works with mothers who are struggling to manage and navigate unrealistic expectations. Amity loves to “nerd out” on administrative tasks and recently began offering budgeting services for solo practitioners in private practice through Practice Desk x OCS. She is an EMDR-certified therapist, a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers, and a member of the Academy of Food Allergy Counseling. Outside of work, Amity is an avid Green Bay Packers fan and a mom struggling to survive her child's senior year of high school. She is licensed to practice in Delaware, Florida, Iowa, and Wisconsin.  Show Highlights: A basic understanding of EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and how it helps the mind and body “get on the same page.” EMDR incorporates audio and tactile techniques in a customized way for each person.  There is no time limit on past traumas that can be reshaped and reprocessed. The reality of any therapy modality: Healing isn't easy; it's a process. Common beliefs that moms have upon beginning a therapy journey (“I'm not enough, There's something wrong with me, I'm not perfect enough,” etc.) Conditions that can benefit from EMDR (You don't have to have a PTSD diagnosis!) EMDR is safe and helpful for most pregnant patients and can be provided in person and virtually with the same functionality. The benefits of therapy in an EMDR-intensive form Consider EMDR as an adjunct therapy along with traditional talk therapy.  Curious about EMDR?

    The Private Practice Pivot: How Therapists Are Adapting to Platforms, Agency Work, and the Changing Therapy Economy Are therapists leaving private practice - or simply adapting to a changing mental health economy? Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT discuss a growing shift across the profession as therapists pivot between private practice, agency jobs, group practices, and therapy platforms. As referral patterns change, venture-backed platforms grow, and the economics of therapy evolve, many clinicians are reconsidering how they structure their careers. Curt and Katie explore why therapists are pivoting their practices, how platforms like Headway, Alma, and Rula are shaping the field, and what therapists can do to build sustainable careers in a rapidly changing environment. Key Takeaways • Why many therapists are pivoting their private practices • How therapy platforms and venture capital are reshaping the profession • The role of agency work, group practices, and hybrid careers • Why isolation can undermine sustainability in solo practice • How therapists can design careers that prioritize stability Full show notes and resources: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCannhttps://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Manganohttps://groomsymusic.com/

    What if the reason you feel scattered, overwhelmed, or "off" in your business… isn't the "normal" burnout we've become familiar with—but high-functioning burnout?   In this episode, I chat with the Entrepreneur's Therapist and nervous system-first business mentor, Ash McDonald, to dig into what's really happening beneath the surface for high-achieving entrepreneurs. We get into the hidden patterns keeping you stuck—like decision fatigue, false emergencies, and emotional residue—and why overconsumption (yes, even from AI and social media) might be disconnecting you from your intuition.   You'll walk away with a powerful, practical framework to regulate your nervous system (she literally walks us through an exercise in real time), rebuild self-trust, and expand your capacity—so you can grow your business without sacrificing the life you're building it for.   → Connect with Ash: https://ashmcdonaldmentoring.com/ → Listen to the Shamelessly Ambitious Podcast: https://ashmcdonaldmentoring.com/podcastpage → Energy Advantage Playlist: https://ashmcdonald.myflodesk.com/eap   → Come say hi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney

    Let's talk about building a therapist website that converts (one of my favorite topics). Your homepage copy has about three seconds to convince someone to stay. Three seconds. And most therapists are wasting them on "welcome to my website" and a stock photo of stacked rocks.That's why in today's episode I sat down with Monica Kovach, former therapist turned website designer for private practice therapists, to break down exactly what belongs on your therapist homepage and what needs to go immediately. Monica shares the simple what, who, and where framework for your above the fold section that most therapists are overcomplicating. We get into the copy mistakes that make every therapy website look the same, why your stock photography might be working against you, and how good therapist conditioning is showing up in your website design in ways you probably haven't noticed.If your website isn't converting the way you want it to, there's one section you need to look at before anything else and it's probably not the one you think.More about Monica Kovach:Monica is the Founder and Designer at Hold Space Creative; a Squarespace website design agency.

    In this episode of Mental Health News Radio, I sit down with therapist and somatic practitioner Cody Gauthier to explore something we almost never talk about—the moment therapy starts to work.What happens when a client begins to change, set boundaries, and show up differently in their life… and it feels uncomfortable, destabilizing, or even worse than before? We talk about the lived reality of growth from the therapist's chair:– why change often feels like something went wrong– what happens when clients hit their goals and it's time to let go– the attachment that forms in therapy—and how to navigate ending well– why understanding something cognitively is not the same as embodying it– how trauma lives in the body, and what it takes to actually release it– the evolving role of men in relationships, emotional expression, and therapyThis is a grounded, human conversation about healing that doesn't skip the messy middle.Connect with Cody Gauthier:Website: Cody Gauthier Therapy (South Bay, CA)TikTok: @codygauthierBoard Member: South Bay Eating Disorder CoalitionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

    Many private practice owners assume their business will eventually fund their retirement. After all, you've spent years building it, surely it will be worth enough someday to carry you through your later years.But relying solely on your practice as your retirement strategy can be risky.In this episode, Julie sits down with financial planner Eric Miller, CEO of Econologics, to talk about why practice owners should think beyond the eventual sale of their business when planning for long-term wealth. They explore common misconceptions about practice valuation, why diversification matters, and practical ways owners can start building multiple income streams while their practice is still growing.If you want to build a practice that supports both your business goals and your household's long-term financial health, this conversation is a must-listen.3 Reasons to Listen to This Episode1. Many practice owners overestimate what their practice will be worth. Eric explains why emotional attachment and optimism often lead owners to assume their business will sell for more than it realistically will.2. Selling your practice doesn't mean you keep the full amount. Taxes, debt, and other factors can dramatically reduce what you actually walk away with after a sale.3. Practice owners have unique opportunities to build multiple income streams. From retirement plans to real estate to brokerage accounts, there are several ways to create long-term financial stability beyond your practice.Links and Resources Learn more about Eric Miller and Econologics: https://econologics.comMoney for Therapists Practice Startup - https://www.greenoakaccounting.com/startupGreenOak Accounting - www.GreenOakAccounting.comTherapy For Your Money Podcast - www.TherapyForYourMoney.comProfit First for Therapists - www.ProfitFirstForTherapists.comProfit First Academy - www.ProfitFirstForTherapists.com/AcademyPodcast Production, Audio Mixing, and Youtube Video Production by James Marland

    We like to believe we know who we are. But what if the version of yourself you’ve been living as… isn’t actually you? In this episode of Question Everything, Danielle sits down with bestselling author and therapist Katherine Woodward Thomas to explore the hidden stories shaping our identities, our relationships, and the patterns we can’t seem to break. Katherine, best known for coining the term “conscious uncoupling,” is back with a deeper question: not just how we separate from others, but how we separate from the outdated versions of ourselves we’ve been living inside. This conversation challenges the idea that healing is only about looking backward, and introduces a new way of thinking about identity, growth, and what it actually takes to change your life. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why you may still be living inside a story you formed as a child The concept of “source fracture stories” and how they shape your identity Why many self-help approaches keep us stuck in analysis instead of actual transformation How we can recreate our biggest wounds in present-day relationships The subtle ways we reinforce beliefs like “I’m not good enough” or “I’m not wanted” A simple practice for speaking to yourself in a way that interrupts anxiety and spiraling How to recognize when you’re operating from reaction vs. consciously creating your life Why healing isn’t just about understanding your past, but changing your future The difference between your “wounded self” and your “wise self” How to interrupt emotional patterns in real time with one simple question Why Katherine says beliefs are formed in relationships, and must be transformed in them The role of identity in manifestation Tools for understand what you are uniquely coded for How to begin shifting into a new version of yourself The power of asking: What am I assuming is true?

    Let me tell you about the time I performed Madonna's "Like a Virgin" at my elementary school talent show. I was nine. I rolled around on the floor. I sang every single word. I thought the audience was speechless because I was that talented. I had absolutely no idea what the word virgin meant. Nobody asked what song I'd picked. Nobody explained it to me. And I didn't know what I didn't know. This episode is full of stories like that one — real, honest, cringe-worthy stories from my own childhood as an autistic and ADHD kid navigating a world full of words, slang, and confusing situations. The boy who told me he was going to die. The grain alcohol I almost drank because I thought grain meant rice. The weed I offered to bring to school. The roach I politely declined at a concert because I didn't smoke bugs. These stories are funny now. But they point to something that matters enormously for every neurodivergent child. Autistic and ADHD kids are confused by language more often than most adults realize. They take words literally. They miss the social context that neurotypical kids absorb automatically. They fill in gaps with whatever information they happen to have — which sometimes leads to some unsafe situations. And most of the time? They're not asking for help. Because asking feels risky. Because they've already been teased for not knowing things. Because they've learned — through a hundred small moments — that some questions get you in trouble. So they guess. They go along. They stay quiet and carry the confusion alone. In this episode, I'm talking about what we can do about that — as parents, therapists, and educators. Not with a perfect script. Not with one big talk. But with something much simpler: building the felt experience, over time, that your neurodivergent child can come to you with anything. In this episode: Why neurodivergent kids are navigating confusing language every single day — and why they're often not asking for help Real stories of what can happen when there isn't open, safe communication with autistic and ADHD kids Why literal language processing makes slang, innuendo, and figures of speech genuinely confusing — not an excuse The one simple message that matters more than any scripted conversation What parents and therapists can do right now to become the safe adult a neurodivergent child actually comes to This episode is for: Parents of autistic and ADHD children and teens who want to open the door to safer, more honest communication Therapists and counselors supporting neurodivergent kids and their families Anyone who grew up neurodivergent and is still carrying some of these stories themselves Note: This episode discusses sex, drugs, and related topics through personal stories. It's a good idea to listen before sharing it with your child. Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!

    In this episode, I share some honest reflections on pediatrician visits - what's working, what could be improved, and what families truly need more of in those early appointments. This isn't about criticizing pediatricians, but about opening up the conversation and advocating for better support for babies, kids, and their families.I walk through common phrases like “wait and see” or “they'll grow out of it,” and why those approaches can sometimes delay important support. I'll also share my personal experience navigating torticollis with my son, feeding, and development and highlight how early intervention, referrals, and education can make a significant difference.I also share what I wish pediatric visits included more of - like education on tummy time, crawling, primitive reflexes, messy play, nutrition, lactation support, and trusted referrals to specialists like OT, PT, and lactation consultants.This episode is ultimately about empowering parents to ask questions, trust their instincts, and advocate for the support their child needs.Thanks for listening

    This week, David and Isabelle unpack why moving can hit neurodivergent brains so much harder than people realize. Yes, there's the obvious stress of boxes, clutter, visual chaos, and trying to remember where literally anything is. But underneath that, they get into the deeper part too: what happens when your routines disappear, your environment stops making sense, and even the tiniest automatic actions suddenly don't exist anymore.Because this episode is really about more than moving. It's about that awful, disorienting in-between where something is objectively good… and your nervous system is still like, “Absolutely not.” David breaks down why change itself can land as painful, why losing patterns can feel like losing your footing, and why so many neurospicy folks get slammed by overwhelm before the new environment has had a chance to make sense yet.And instead of just naming the problem, they get to what actually can help. The conversation gets into why your brain may need to physically build new patterns before anything feels manageable again, why body doubling can interrupt the buffering, why visual overwhelm matters more than people think, and how different neurospicy brains need totally different systems in order to function.If you've ever been excited about a change and still felt totally wrecked by it. Or, if you've ever looked around and thought, “Why does this feel so hard when this is supposed to be good?” this one will probably hit home.Here's what's coming your way: Why “good change” can still feel painful, disorienting, and weirdly grief-y for ADHD and AuDHD brainsA really helpful breakdown of how routines, environment, and repeated actions quietly hold daily life togetherLanguage for the specific kind of overwhelm that happens when nothing feels automatic anymoreWhy unpacking can create instant buffering, shutdown, and decision fatigueHow body doubling, music, and visual clarity can help interrupt overwhelm and make starting easierWhy different brains need wildly different organization systems--and why that doesn't mean anyone is doing it wrong-------Wait, What's That? Here are some of the terms and people mentioned in this episode explained:Bobby: Isabelle's husband.Sarah: A partner in David's practice. David brings up a conversation with Sarah while wondering out loud whether change can actually register as pain in the brain. Robin: David's partner, who comes up while he's describing the home setup that helps his own brain keep track of where things are. Clutterbug YouTube: The decluttering channel Isabelle shouts out because those videos have basically become her fake body-doubling companions while unpacking. https://www.youtube.com/@ClutterbugBody Doubling: A support strategy where doing a task gets easier because someone else is there with you — even virtually. Isabelle talks about using decluttering videos that way during the move. Object Permanence: The very real neurospicy experience of something effectively disappearing once it's boxed up, put away, or moved out of its usual place.Externalized Memory: David's phrase for needing to physically put something somewhere yourself in order to actually remember where it is later. Procedural Memory: Isabelle's way of describing how much she relies on repeated physical action — reach here, plug this in there, turn this direction — instead of remembering things abstractly.-------

    If you've ever wondered whether Google Ads are the missing piece in growing your private practice, this episode might completely change how you think about them. In this conversation, I sit down with Christi Underwood to break down what therapists actually need in place before spending a single dollar on ads and why jumping in too early can end up costing you more than it helps. We unpack the foundational pieces most people skip, from your online presence to your lead management systems, and why these elements make or break your results. We also get into the real numbers and expectations behind Google Ads so you can make smart, informed decisions for your practice. Christi shares what a realistic starting budget looks like, how long it takes to know if your ads are working, and the biggest mistakes therapists make when trying to DIY their campaigns. Whether you are brand new to ads or already experimenting with them, this episode will help you think more strategically about when, why, and how to use Google Ads to actually fill your caseload. Topics Covered in This Episode: 2:15 - What most therapists misunderstand about starting Google Ads 5:40 - The non-negotiables you need before running ads 9:10 - A realistic starting budget and what your money is actually doing 13:25 - How quickly you can tell if your ads are working 16:50 - The difference between clicks, leads, and real clients 19:30 - When ads work best (and when they don't) depending on your niche 22:10 - Why solo practitioners might benefit more than group practices 24:00 - The hidden systems that determine whether your leads convert   If you've been on the fence about Google Ads or unsure whether you're truly ready to invest in them, this episode will give you the clarity you need to move forward with confidence. Tune in, take notes, and start thinking about how to build a marketing strategy that actually supports the growth of your practice instead of draining your time and money.

    In this episode, we talk about how therapists can be humourless, anti-love, bubble-bursters. Not really... but maybe a little bit? We believe being the wet blanket is actually an important part of our jobs as therapists. We see when humour is being used as a defence mechanism. We spot love-bombing and other red flags. Exactly how we bring those observations to the client, that's more delicate work. How do we help clients see the full landscape of a situation rather than one angle of it? And when might we be overusing our power to make clients see 'reality'? We're taking the couch on the road!

From redefining self-care as a core foundation for emotional regulation to building real-world resiliency skills like grounding, cognitive reframing, and the "STOP" technique, we explore how people can move from reactive patterns to intentional responses. We also dive into the power of mindfulness—learning how to slow down, stay present, and create space between emotions and actions—while connecting these practices to proven approaches like DBT and ACT. Whether you're facing anxiety, anger, or everyday stress, this episode answers a critical question: what actually works in the moment—and how can you practice it before you need it most?

    In this deeply intimate and thought-provoking episode, Ali sits down with somatic sex educator and healer Ariel Szabo to explore the intersection of sexuality, power, trauma, and transformation.The conversation opens with a bold question: Why has human society been shaped by domination – and what does that have to do with our relationship to sexuality? From there, Ariel and Ali unpack how systems of control – historically rooted in conquest and oppression – extend into our bodies, our relationships, and especially our sexual lives.Ariel shares her personal journey through early sexual trauma, sex work, and being trafficked, revealing how shame and vulnerability can be weaponized to maintain control. Yet, rather than remaining trapped in that paradigm, she describes a path of reclamation – one grounded in embodiment, agency, and the rediscovery of sexual energy as life force.Together, they explore how shame functions both as a necessary human signal and a powerful tool of suppression, particularly around sexuality. They discuss how many people dissociate into “performative” sexuality – shaped by media and conditioning – leaving them disconnected, unsatisfied, and emotionally unfulfilled.A central theme emerges: pleasure as a gateway to connection. When experienced consciously and embodied, pleasure becomes a pathway to self-awareness, intimacy, and even spiritual awakening. When disconnected, it becomes escapism – mirroring addictive patterns rather than nourishing the soul.Ariel also introduces practical insights into working with sexual energy, including how to build capacity for sensation, move energy through the body, and shift from fear or overwhelm into grounded presence.The episode culminates in a powerful reflection on healing and purpose. Ariel recounts her transition out of exploitation, a life-altering health crisis that catalyzed her spiritual awakening, and her eventual integration of sexuality, psychedelics, and embodiment into her current work.Ultimately, this conversation is both a personal testimony and a cultural critique – arguing that sexual healing is not just individual, but collective. A more embodied, liberated relationship to sexuality, they suggest, could fundamentally reshape how we relate to power, connection, and each other.To be an angel to the podcast, click hereTo read more about the podcast, click hereMORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comBody Mapping Video LibraryPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comConstellation Work is a highly effective method to delve into healing transgenerational trauma, unburdening consequent generations from the influences of traumas which can be transmitted epigenetically.MORE ARIEL SZABO:Website: SacredMoonflowerAuthor, Substack: TheEroticFrontierWomen's Retreat in Peru - April, 2026Ariel's beautiful article on Sex MagicARIEL'S BIO:Ariel Szabo is a writer, somatic sex educator, sexological bodyworker, and psychedelic medicine practitioner based in Los Angeles.

    In this episode, I address a growing trend I've been seeing among therapists—trying to interpret, analyze, and "figure out" what a child's play means. I understand the desire to make sense of themes, especially when we're trying to communicate progress to parents. But in child-centered play therapy, that instinct can actually pull us away from what matters most. When we start making assumptions or drawing conclusions, we move out of the present moment and into our heads, which takes us out of true engagement with the child. I explain why it is not our job to interpret or assign meaning to a child's play, and how doing so can lead us down inaccurate or unnecessary paths. Instead, our role is to stay grounded in what we know—what the child is doing, saying, and feeling—and remain fully adherent to the model. CCPT works because of the relationship and the process, not because we understand every detail of what's happening. This episode is a reminder to release the pressure to figure it all out and to trust that fidelity to the model is enough. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

    In this episode of Breaking the Rules, we're joined by researcher and clinician Dr. Clarissa Ong to unpack the complex relationship between perfectionism, anxiety, and OCD — and to explore how process-based therapy, particularly ACT, offers a powerful lens for understanding and treating these patterns.Drawing on her research and her book The Anxious Perfectionist, Clarissa helps us move beyond surface-level symptoms and into the underlying processes that drive rigidity, rule-following, self-criticism, and all-or-nothing thinking.We explore perfectionism not as a simple personality trait, but as a pattern of inflexible rule-governed behaviour — one that can show up across OCD, generalized anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and beyond. The conversation dives into how values can become fused with perfectionistic rules, how therapy itself can become “a thing to perfect,” and why flexibility — not flawless performance — is the real treatment target.

    The MFR Coach’s Podcast w/Heather Hammell, Life + Business Coach for Myofascial Release Therapists

    In this episode, I break down what actually gets an MFR therapist fully booked and why waiting is often the thing keeping your schedule from filling. I share a moment from one of my clients who filled her final appointment slot with a single sentence, and how that result came from months of consistent action, not confidence. At the same time, I reflect on my own experience stepping into greater visibility and realizing how often I had been waiting for approval in my business. We talk about how waiting shows up in MFR practices, especially in rebooking conversations and client interactions, and why it often feels responsible but leads to inaction. I explain what leadership looks like inside sessions and how clear communication makes it easier for clients to move forward. This episode focuses on the shift from waiting to deciding, and how small, deliberate actions build a fully booked practice over time. What you'll learn: Why waiting delays your MFR practice growth How consistent action leads to a fully booked schedule The role of clear communication in client commitment What leadership looks like in therapy sessions How to take action before you feel confident **This podcast is not medical advice and is not a substitute for consultation with an appropriate medical professional.

    What actually strengthens a marriage and what damages it?In previous episodes, I shared five things women do that strengthen their marriages, five things that weaken them, and the same for men. In this episode, I invited marriage and family therapist Emil Harker to respond.Emil has over two decades of experience helping couples navigate conflict and build stronger relationships. I wanted to see how a professional therapist would react to my perspective: where he agreed, where he added nuance, and what insights he brought from years of working with couples.This turned into a thoughtful and surprisingly fun conversation about the habits that help marriages thrive, the behaviors that slowly undermine them, and the small changes that can make a huge difference.If you're married—or hope to be someday—this conversation will give you practical insights into how relationships actually work.If you're new to this show, I focus on how belief and mindset shape our actions, which ultimately lead to success in every area of life—including marriage.About Emil:With a rich background of psychotherapy theory, and human development from his graduate studies at AAMFT (American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists) accredited Utah State University, Emil Harker has been involved in helping people overcome obstacles and get the most out of life for almost 20 years.Emil has worked in a variety of settings from the poverty stricken to the very wealthy and from addictions to life coaching.

    Overthinking can keep you stuck, but what if the answer isn't thinking more, it's learning to trust yourself? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with former crisis therapist Fedra Tehrani to explore her journey from working in high-intensity mental health settings to building her own practice and helping people move beyond overthinking. With a background in social and clinical psychology, Fedra spent years working in crisis units, supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, and high-stress situations. Through that experience, she developed a deep understanding of human behavior, patterns of overanalysis, and the ways people get stuck trying to think their way out of problems. Over time, her perspective evolved. She began to recognize that real change doesn't always come from more thinking, but from learning to be present, trust yourself, and take aligned steps forward. In this conversation, she shares what led her into this work, how her experiences shaped her approach, and how she now helps others navigate overthinking, build self-trust, and move forward with more clarity. This episode is about understanding the patterns that keep us stuck and learning how to move beyond them.

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 18, 2026 55:28


    When adults tell autistic or ADHD children to be more accountable — to take more responsibility, to stop making excuses, admit when they're wrong — I understand exactly where that's coming from. The fear underneath it is real. The exhaustion is real. But here's what I also know: when we demand accountability and responsibility through shame, we're not teaching our neurodivergent kids anything. We're just making them feel bad about who they are. In this episode, I'm getting honest about something most of us don't talk about — the massive gap between what parents mean when they say "accountability" and what their autistic or ADHD child actually hears. And I'm going to show you what real accountability looks like for neurodivergent kids. It doesn't involve a giant, heavy bag of shame and blame. It involves understanding, curiosity, and problem solving — together. I've been the parent standing in front of my child saying, "You need to take responsibility." I thought I was teaching him something essential. What I was actually doing was handing him a bag of garbage and calling it a life lesson. This episode is for every parent and teacher who has done the same. And for every therapist working with autistic and adhd children and their families.  In this episode, you'll learn: Why demanding accountability from autistic and ADHD kids often backfires — and what's actually happening when a child "refuses to take responsibility." The garbage bag metaphor: what happens when shame and blame get passed back and forth between parent and child — and how to put it down Real examples and what actually helped 5 ways to teach real accountability without shame, including how to separate the action from the person, how to use curiosity instead of blame, and how to teach missing skills without saying "you should know this by now." Why "I forgot" and "she was bothering me" are not excuses — they're a child trying to communicate What happens to neurodivergent kids who grow up in a shame-based accountability culture — and why it matters How to repair it when you've already shamed your child in the name of responsibility (because you will, and have I) What therapists need to ask when a parent says their child needs to be more accountable This episode is for you if: You're a parent of an autistic child and/or ADHD child who struggles with responsibility, follow-through, or "making excuses." You're a therapist, school counselor, or psychologist supporting neurodivergent children and their families You grew up being told you made excuses — and it still weighs on you. Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!

    What if the things you believe about yourself and your capabilities aren't accurate? What if you're much more competent than you think you are? We all have mental barriers that shape how we view ourselves and the world. But your beliefs do not have to define you forever. You have the power to rewrite those stories. My guest today is Nir Eyal, a behavioral design expert, international speaker, and the bestselling author. His new book, Beyond Belief, and teaches us how to replace the mental labels that keep us stuck with accurate, empowering beliefs about what we can truly achieve. Some of the things we discuss in this episode include: Why the stories you tell yourself aren't always facts (and how to rewrite them). Nir's personal battle with his weight and how letting go of the "one true diet" myth changed his life. The dangerous power of the "nocebo effect" and how expecting a negative outcome often guarantees it. Why your brain acts as a "prediction machine" designed to keep you stuck in your comfort zone. How to tell the difference between an objective fact and a self-imposed label.
