Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jill shares DIY strategies for managing rumination, including identifying the root cause of anxious thoughts, journaling, and setting aside a specific “worry time.” How can I humble myself while maintaining healthy boundaries and not becoming a doormat for my wife? After 14 years of marriage, my wife and I argue every day, and I feel like she is constantly punishing and scolding me. I've been divorced for 10 years. How do I deal with competitive women at singles events while trying to find the right man for me? How can I break free from masturbation and porn addiction? I'm 60 and have struggled with masturbation, lust, and porn for decades. I can go a month or three without them, but then I backslide.

Send us Fan MailDoes Tylenol in pregnancy cause autism or ADHD? In this edition of Neo News, Ben and Eli break down a major JAMA Internal Medicine study from Hong Kong that followed hundreds of thousands of mother-child pairs and used a sibling-matched design to answer the question. The verdict: no association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and autism spectrum disorder or ADHD, regardless of timing, pattern, or dose. But data alone doesn't win hearts. The conversation turns to the bedside: how do we explain study methodology to families without dismissing their concerns? Eli shares his approach to vaccine hesitancy in the NICU, built on continuity, persistence, and transparency, and draws lessons from journalism about corrections, trust, and why showing up matters.

Therapy language can be incredibly helpful.Words like attachment style, avoidance, stonewalling, narcissism, and trauma can help us understand patterns that once felt confusing.But what happens when we start using those words against our partner in the middle of conflict?In this episode, we respond to a listener who asked about the growing tendency for couples to psychoanalyze each other during arguments.And we start with something very real from our own relationship:Tarah has called EJ a narcissist before.In the moment, it felt completely true to her.But what she was actually trying to communicate was much more personal:“It feels like your needs matter more than mine.”That difference matters.Because when we say:“You are a narcissist.”“You are avoidant.”“You are a stonewaller.”“You're overly sensitive.”we are no longer simply describing a behavior.We are telling our partner who they are.And instead of helping them become more curious or accountable, that often creates shame, defensiveness, anger, and even more distance.In this episode, we talk about:Why our brains reach for labels when we feel overwhelmed or uncertainWhen psychological language can actually be usefulWhy diagnosing your partner during conflict usually makes things worseThe difference between describing a behavior and defining someone's identityHow labels can activate shame and insecurityWhy therapy language can become part of The Courtroom TrapHow to move from pointing a finger to holding up a mirrorWhy saying “you're stonewalling” is very different from saying “when you go quiet, I feel alone”How labeling your partner can prevent them from understanding what you're actually hurting aboutWhy curiosity creates more emotional safety than analysisHow to repair after you've already thrown out a labelOne of the biggest shifts we talk about is this:Instead of telling your partner what they are, tell them what you are struggling with.For example:Instead of:“You're stonewalling me.”Try:“When you go quiet and pull away, I feel really alone and disconnected from you.”Instead of:“You're so dramatic.”Try:“I'm feeling overwhelmed by how intense this feels right now, and I'm not sure how to be there for you.”That takes more vulnerability.But it also gives your partner something they can actually respond to.Because the goal of conflict is not to prove your partner's diagnosis.The goal is to understand what is happening between you.❤️ Your Love WorkThe next time you catch yourself wanting to label your partner, pause and ask:“What am I actually experiencing underneath this label?”Then try saying that instead.And if the label already came out, try a repair:“I just analyzed you. What I probably could have done was tell you what I'm actually feeling. Can I try that again?”You don't have to get every hard conversation right the first time.Sometimes changing the relationship happens when you simply catch the old move—and try a different one.

Sara Gibson's life story is shaped by a loving childhood, hard work, and a devastating experience with domestic violence that changed everything. She describes losing her sense of identity, enduring profound physical and emotional pain, and feeling at times that she had nothing left to live for after the trauma and loss of her children. Even so, Sara refuses to be defined by what happened to her, saying she chose survival, sobriety, therapy, and honesty as the first steps toward healing. Her perspective is that pain can become purpose, and that speaking openly and helping others can turn a story of suffering into one of strength and recovery.(00:06:43) Camping Trips, Fishing, and Books with Mom(00:10:12) Swapping Shifts to Dodge Mandated Overtime(00:14:59) Muscling Through Papa and Amber's Devastating Loss(00:29:28) Kismet After Blown Veins and Hematomas(00:32:33) master manipulator warning signs and red flags(00:40:01) Drinking, monthly fights, and hostage-like control(00:46:16) The chambered round and arterial spray(00:51:11) Blood transfusions, respirator, and infected leg vein(01:04:44) Herpes for the Brain: Healing Through Purpose(01:06:56) Boxed Up Pain and Emotional Distance(01:12:03) Turning Pain Into Purpose Through Sobriety and Therapy

Psychedelics are having a moment in mental health care. Research is showing promising results for conditions including depression, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. But how much do we actually know — and how much is hype? ADAA member expert and licensed psychologist Jonathan Schettino, PhD, explains how psychedelics went from being viewed primarily as illegal drugs to becoming the subject of serious clinical research. He breaks down what happens during psychedelic-assisted therapy, why standardized dosing matters, and why treatment involves much more than simply taking a psychedelic and “tripping.” Listeners will learn: how researchers control psychedelic doses in clinical trials why psychedelics aren't yet FDA-approved treatments whether psychotherapy makes psychedelic treatment more effective The research is promising, but the science isn't settled. This conversation explains what we know, what we don't know, and why the next few years could be critical for understanding the future of psychedelic-assisted mental health treatment. Listen now!

In this episode of HVAC Know It All, host Gary McCreadie speaks with Matt Showers, a commercial-industrial HVAC professional and the host of Trade Therapy Podcast. They discuss putting real stories behind the topic, recognizing when peer support is not enough, managing screen and gaming habits, and responding to online negativity without feeding it. Matt draws from his experience creating the Trade Therapy podcast and seeking therapy for his own screen addiction. He explains how professional support and future-focused exercises helped him reset priorities, set limits around gaming, and spend more intentional time with his family.   Key Takeaways How sharing personal stories can make mental health conversations in the trades more concrete and relatable. Why professional help may be necessary when a mental health challenge is beyond what a friend can help resolve. How phone games and immersive video games can become a distraction from family and other priorities. The value of setting a timer and stepping away from screens before they consume more time than intended. Why asking questions and seeking context is more constructive than attacking people online.   Key Timestamps 00:00 – Cintas Ad 04:03 – Matt explains why he started the Trade Therapy podcast 09:44 – Matt describes the pull of phone games and video games 12:02 – Therapy, future-focused exercises, and resetting priorities 21:35 – Why online attacks can be driven by attention and engagement   This Episode is Kindly Sponsored by: Cintas: https://www.cintas.com/hvacknowitall Cool Air Products: https://www.coolairproducts.net/  Factory Direct Filters: https://www.factorydirectfilters.com/  SupplyHouse: https://www.supplyhouse.com/tm  Use promo code HKIA5 to get 5% off your first order at Supplyhouse!

Does therapy work?Yes. But I believe there's a better question: Is therapy alone enough?Therapy can be incredibly valuable. It can help us understand our thoughts, process our feelings, reframe old stories, and navigate difficult seasons.But if you've ever thought, “Therapy is helping… so why does life still feel so hard?” this episode is for you.Because mental health isn't just about what happens in your mind.In this week's episode of Heal Your Relationships, I'm introducing what I call the Tripod Model: a three-pronged approach that brings together top-down, bottom-up, and inside-out tools to help you move beyond simply keeping your head above water and build greater capacity for life.I'll also share one of my favorite ways to think about nervous system capacity: the bucket analogy.Top-down approaches help filter what goes into your bucket, while bottom-up approaches help make the bucket bigger—so everyday stressors don't overwhelm you quite so easily.And the third leg?The often-overlooked inside-out work: sleep, nutrition, movement, attention, breathing, and social connection.This episode is also the beginning of a new series on modern mental health. Over the next few weeks, I'll be breaking down these three pillars and giving you practical tools you can begin experimenting with in your own life.In This Episode:00:00 Why therapy alone may not be enough01:34 The question we should be asking about therapy04:10 The Tripod Model explained04:29 Pillar 1: The top-down approach06:33 Pillar 2: Bottom-up nervous system work09:07 The “bucket” analogy for emotional capacity11:41 Pillar 3: The inside-out approach13:09 Moving from surviving to truly thriving14:49 What's coming in this modern mental health seriesWant to go deeper?If you're ready to move beyond simply understanding your patterns and start changing them at the nervous-system level, that's exactly what we work on inside Untriggerable.You can learn more, connect with us, and join our community here:Join us on Circle

Send us Fan MailIn this Journal Club episode, Daphna reviews the first national estimate of potential neonatal organ donors, a Pediatrics cohort study from 23 Australian NICUs, along with its companion commentary. Of 1,760 infants who died in the NICU between 2012 and 2022 at 35 weeks corrected age or later, about one in three met conservative eligibility criteria. Most would have donated after circulatory death, and a smaller group with severe HIE could potentially have donated after neurological determination of death. They discuss referral timing, outcomes of en bloc kidney transplants from neonatal donors, and how NICUs can offer families this option as part of end-of-life care.----Potential Neonatal Donors in Australia: A National Cohort Study.

In this episode of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Podcast, host Dr. Peter Chalmers interviews Aaron Sciascia and Margie Olds, the editors-in-chief of the newest journal within the Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Family, JSES Sports Performance Rehab and Therapy, i.e. JSES SPRAT.

This week, Jess accidentally creates a full-time job for herself in the form of a tiny household fairy who monitors behaviors, leaves gifts, sprinkles suspicious amounts of glitter around the house and is apparently about to need a benefits package. Meanwhile, Sonia's daughter has decided she's got jokes on her weekly bible verse, which naturally reminds Jess of the time she prayed to Baby Jesus to make her a 'witch'. So spiritually, everyone is doing great. Then they get into the actual questions keeping mothers awake at night: Who is responsible for making sure siblings growing up in different households actually have relationships with one another? Why are people still asking parents of all girls if they're going to “try for a boy”? Is it okay to privately hope for a particular gender—and should gender disappointment ever, ever be filmed for the internet where your future child can eventually watch your face fall when the confetti comes out? They also talk about wanting a baby versus wanting to be a mother, the completely normal realization that we're probably responsible for our children's future internal dialogue, and the deeply humbling experience of teaching your child emotional regulation only to have them turn around and tell you to take a deep breath. Plus, their book, So You're Trying to Have a Baby After 35, is officially out in digital and paperback, and why they created the fertility guide they desperately wish someone had handed them when they were sitting in those first appointments thinking, Wait… what am I even supposed to ask? And finally, they introduce the 'Geriatric' Mamas October campaign, The Babies We Carry With Us, honoring Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. Throughout October, the mamas will be remembering babies who are deeply loved, sharing stories from families who carry them, and talking with organizations doing the work of supporting parents through pregnancy and infant loss.

In this episode, editor in chief Joseph E. Safdieh, MD, FAAN, highlights articles about the pros and cons of wearable devices, new data for thrombectomy use in medium-vessel occlusion strokes, and a new treatment for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9.

Today I decided to explore a new trail at Iroquois Park that I had never been on before! Sometimes you have to take a chance on something new in this life, and so walking the new path is a great metaphor for the topic of the episode. I share some ideas on living within the balance between universal chaos and the synchronistic mindset. Walking the line between the two seems to be important in regards to staying within the flow of positive energy.

The conversation explores the impact of early trauma on adult relationships, the importance of self-nurturing, and practical techniques that can support the healing journey.Julie Gowthorpe shares insights from her clinical experience and introduces practical frameworks for understanding the connection between the wounded child and the functioning adult. The conversation also explores the mind-body connection, self-esteem repair, attachment patterns, and the importance of honoring the past without allowing it to control the present.Don't miss the foundational “Trauma Landscape” exercise, which offers a visual approach to reflecting on difficult life experiences, and learn about the upcoming Self-Nurturing Therapy App designed to accompany the healing process.

In this episode, host and podcast chair Sam sits down with Dr. David Puder, outpatient psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and creator of the Psychiatry and Psychotherapy podcast to make the case that therapeutic skills aren't optional for psychiatrists — they're essential.Dr. Puder traces his unlikely path into psychiatry, from nearly pursuing orthopedics to a pivotal stint in Haiti that rewired his priorities, and describes the residency mentor who first showed him the power of a single empathic encounter. From there, the conversation opens up into a wide-ranging exploration of what holistic care really looks like when you stop splitting "biology" from "psychology" and start treating the whole person, including a live exercise in recognizing and working with countertransference, practical advice on personal therapy, and how attachment patterns shape both your patients and your own clinical reactions.Tune in to Dr. Puder's podcast at psychiatrypodcast.com.--Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/torus/layers-of-lifeLicense code: 4BPPLFF6KL9N7G4Q

"You'll change your mind." "Who's going to take care of you when you're older?" Black women who say they don't want children hear some version of this constantly, and the decision often gets treated as a betrayal of family and community. Today we're joined by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Lana Holmes to talk about why a personal choice draws so much outside commentary. Dr. Lana and I chatted about the difference between being child free and being childless, how the legacy of chattel slavery and domestic work still shapes what's expected of Black women's bodies, what dating looks like when you know kids aren't part of your plan, and the missing supports (childcare, perinatal care, safety) that have more people questioning whether parenthood is for them. She also shares what being child free has made room for in her own life. In this episode: Why "I don't want kids" gets heard as a personal attack, and how cisheteropatriarchy and misogynoir feed that reaction What gets lost when we collapse child free and childless into one category The strong Black woman and mammy archetypes, and the expectation that Black women will mother at work and in community whether or not they have children Vetting partners while dating, plus a script for telling mom and the aunties What to weigh if you're still deciding, starting with your gut response and moving into the support you can count on About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Sheri shares about her mother's passing on September 2. When her mother was in the ICU, Dr. Sheri was stuck in traffic and talked to her mom on the phone, telling her she could go be with Jesus. I don't like people bringing personal devices into my home. When my friend rushed out of my house after getting a phone call, I thought it was rude. My boyfriend abducted me at age 17 and took me away from my parents. Could past trauma and grief from losing my parents still be affecting me? I've listened to you for over 15 years. Listening to your previous caller, Aurora, talk with Dr. Sheri reminded me of the power of prayer and how the Holy Spirit can work through a phone call. I'm a divorced, single mom who left an abusive relationship. I started a business that is growing, but I'm afraid to leave my 9-to-5 job because I don't know if I'll be able to provide for my family. How can I overcome this fear and move forward? How can I encourage my 31-year-old daughter to get married? She is a Christian and has lived with her fiancé for 10 years, and they have two children, ages 6 and 4. I'm concerned that she will not enter the Kingdom of God.

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Party member Lori, who works with sober curious professional millennial women, about finding her footing after leaving government work for private pay. We map out where her networking energy should actually go (functional medicine docs, non-alcoholic bars, other therapists), why a group could pay her more per hour while making the work more affordable, & why she should go all in on Chicago instead of spreading herself thin. We also get into why becoming the therapist AI recommends might matter more than SEO these days.    Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

#332. Did you like last week's episode? Good! Because we weren't done yet. And by “we” we mean “Kendall.” The rabbit trails include the urge to parent other people's kids and how technology is making the McDonald's breakfast hard-stop even more annoying. After the break, Kory shares his experience at The Sphere in Las Vegas and we share a bunch of what we're listening to as well as what we're watching. Lot's of current country music and some new stuff that kind of sounds like older stuff with a very confusing genre. This week we're watching The Bear, Heart of the Beast, Couple's Therapy, and the Big Ten replay booth.

Send us Fan MailIn this Journal Club episode, Ben reviews a JAMA Network Open study from two Dutch Level IV NICUs. It examined NEC before and after routine implementation of a three-strain probiotic in 1,413 infants born before 30 weeks or under 1,000 grams. NEC fell from 11.9% to 5.3%, and late-onset sepsis also declined. But non-NEC mortality rose after implementation. NEC also dropped in an unexposed reference cohort, and one infant died of B. infantis sepsis. Ben and Daphna discuss how baseline NEC rates, seasonal patterns, and number needed to harm should shape how units weigh probiotic use.----Probiotic Implementation and Necrotizing Enterocolitis Risk in Preterm Infants.

How trauma therapists can apply polyvagal theory to recognize physiological cues, understand survival responses, and use co-regulation to support safety, connection, and re-embodiment. If psychotherapy is about reconnecting to a genuine expression of self, how do we support connection and embodiment in clients who've experienced complex trauma?  One noted clinician believes that polyvagal theory offers vital tools for this journey, provided therapists can hold space for vulnerability during the process of co-regulation. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes back Stephen Porges, Ph.D., the renowned behavioral neuroscientist, professor, and author who, in 1994, originated the polyvagal theory framework: a systems-level, pathway-specific model of autonomic regulation. This conversation explores:  Compassion in the context of the nervous system How physiological state drives behavior How to reinterpret trauma responses as supportive, evolutionary nervous system reactions, not maladaptive strategies The concept of neuroception (the body's automatic threat-detection process)  How co-regulation, emotional availability, and prosodic voice help clients feel safe Transforming Trauma is grateful to Stephen Porges for once again sharing his life's work with our community and supporting trauma patients on their journey back to somatic understanding of self.  To read the full show notes and discover more resources, visit https://complextraumatrainingcenter.com/transformingtrauma 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.

In this episode, I'm sharing practical ways therapists can make room for political stress in the therapy room without allowing the session to become a debate. I also created a FREE quick-reference guide, Political Stress in Therapy: 10 Client-Centered Questions to Use in Session. It includes practical questions to help you move beyond the political headline and explore the emotions, values, boundaries, and next steps underneath a client's distress. Download it free here: lisa-mustard.aweb.page/free-political-stress-guide Politics can affect our clients' sense of safety, identity, belonging, relationships, and hope for the future. I talk about how to move from the headline to its deeper meaning; validate a client's emotional experience without endorsing every opinion; help clients regulate, set boundaries, and take values-aligned action; and notice our own reactions as therapists. I also address what to say when prospective clients ask where you stand politically and why it is okay for clients to decide they need a therapist who feels like the right fit for them. For additional support, I mention How to Navigate Politics in Session Without Taking Sides, which offers structured prompts and guidance for ethical, client-centered conversations. I also share my Political Stress Ebook Workbook: Coping Strategies for Therapists, a downloadable, client-facing ebook that therapists can customize and rebrand with their own information. Whether your clients are doomscrolling, fighting with family, feeling afraid about the future, or overwhelmed by the intensity of the news cycle, I hope this episode offers a grounded, practical way to respond.

What if your gut health depends less on finding one perfect probiotic and more on restoring an entire ecosystem? In this episode of Take Back Your Health®, Dr. Amy Myers is joined by Dr. Piper Dobner, a naturopathic doctor specializing in microbiome therapeutics, to explore the gut microbiome, helminthic therapy, and fecal microbiota transplantation. Dr. Piper explains why the microbiome is a community of organisms working together, how helminthic therapy is discussed in relation to immune balance, and why careful dosing and monitoring matter. She also breaks down FMT delivery methods, donor screening, and the questions that still need better research. What You'll Learn Why the gut microbiome is an ecosystem—not just a collection of individual strains What helminthic therapy is and why a low-and-slow approach matters How colonoscopic delivery, enemas, and frozen oral FMT capsules differ What donor screening can involve Why sleep, time in nature, and a supportive food environment matter to microbiome health About Dr. Piper Dobner Dr. Piper Dobner, NMD, MS, is a naturopathic doctor specializing in microbiome therapeutics.

AI is already changing therapy. The question is no longer whether clinicians will encounter it, but how the mental health profession responds.Dr. Amy Parks is joined by licensed marriage and family therapist Candice Thompson for a candid conversation about artificial intelligence, psychotherapy, ethics, privacy, informed consent, and the development of clinical judgment.Candice shares why therapists can't simply put their heads in the sand when it comes to AI—even if they personally choose not to use it. Clients are already turning to AI for emotional support and advice, while clinicians are increasingly encountering AI through documentation, treatment planning, EHRs, education, and other areas of practice.Amy and Candice explore what happens when clinicians can get an immediate answer from AI before they've had to think through a difficult clinical question themselves. Could technology make someone appear more competent before they've actually developed competence? What happens to client information when AI tools are introduced into clinical care? And are we adequately discussing recording, data use, and AI with the people we serve?They also tackle the larger question underneath all of this: What can human therapists provide that AI cannot?As technology continues to evolve, Candice argues that clinicians shouldn't abandon what psychotherapy does best—the relationship, judgment, timing, critical thinking, and human connection at the heart of meaningful therapeutic work.Learn more about Candice Thompson:candicecandelaria.comClinical Supervision Directory:www.clinicalsupervisiondirectory.com

Rav Pinson speaking about Therapy, Trauma and Healing with R Mendy Klein

In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest mistakes we can make with our health: treating the leaves instead of looking at the roots. Symptoms, abnormal lab results, and health problems are often treated as problems to be fixed, but what if they're actually clues pointing to something more meaningful? Let's remind ourselves why a root-cause approach to health can change the way we think about everything from chronic symptoms to the changes that start showing up in midlife. Instead of simply managing problems as they appear, learn how to start asking better questions about why they're happening in the first place so you can build a healthier body from the roots up and give yourself a better chance of aging well.my website: www.healthcouragecollective.comAre you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!Join the Waitlist HereCome visit me: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

Caller Questions & Discussion: Chris confesses that he's not a good confessor and shares how shame and fear made it difficult to talk openly during his early recovery. He also explains the 3 C's of confession, referencing 1 John 1:9 and James 5:16. We do the 12 Steps one at a time. For instance, we don't advance to Step 5 until we've completed Step 4. Can you explain more about that? I use the acronym O.A.R. to help me become safer in relationships and work through ruptures in relationships. I had difficulty with an elder who is a teacher at my church and prayed for him to teach the truth. He then had to step down after church leaders learned he doesn't believe in the Trinity. Should I still try to reconcile with him?

What happens when you stop running from the things that hurt you and finally turn around to face them? At just 20 years old, Lawrence C. Harris has already lived through severe bullying, childhood abuse, mental health challenges, and experiences that forced him to grow up much sooner than he should have. For years, the effects showed up in ways he didn't always recognize, from emotional distance and unhealthy relationships to spending hours behind a screen simply to avoid being alone with his thoughts. In this episode, Lawrence joins Chuck to share how therapy, journaling, honest self-reflection, and learning to sit with uncomfortable emotions helped him begin working through his past instead of continuing to run from it. He opens up about setting boundaries with his father, learning to forgive without allowing someone back into his life, and recognizing the difference between who he used to be and who he is choosing to become. Lawrence also challenges us to look at the ways we distract ourselves from what may be happening beneath the surface. His message is especially powerful for young people, but it applies at any age: you cannot change what happened to you, but you can decide what you do with your life from here. Guest Bio Lawrence C. Harris is a youth speaker who helps teens and young adults believe in themselves, think differently about their future, and make better choices. Growing up, Lawrence faced serious challenges including mental health struggles, bullying, childhood abuse, and autism. Those experiences inspired him to begin speaking so other young people would know they are not alone and understand that their past does not have to determine where their life goes. Today, Lawrence shares the lessons and tools that helped him move forward, encouraging young people to take ownership of their future, work through difficult emotions, and believe that their lives can get better. You'll hear About How bullying and childhood abuse affected Lawrence's mental health at a young age Why journaling and therapy became important parts of processing his past How distraction can keep us from recognizing what we are really trying to avoid Why forgiveness does not mean excusing someone's behavior or removing your boundaries How to separate who you used to be from the person you are choosing to become Chapters 00:00 Lawrence's Mission to Help Young People 02:30 Growing Up With Bullying and Abuse 05:15 Accepting What Happened and Taking Ownership of His Future 09:45 Therapy, Journaling, and Working Through Trauma 16:00 The Light at the End of the Tunnel 19:15 What Happens When We Keep Running From Our Pain 23:30 Are You Having Fun or Avoiding What You Feel? 28:45 The Moment Lawrence Knew Something Had to Change 32:00 Leaving the Old Version of Yourself Behind 37:00 Forgiveness Without Sacrificing Your Boundaries 43:00 Taking Back Ownership of Your Life 47:00 What Lawrence Would Say to Someone Who Feels Stuck 53:00 Chuck's Challenge Chuck's Challenge This week, Chuck is taking Lawrence up on one of the most practical ideas from their conversation: sit in silence for one full hour and pay attention to what comes up. No phone. No television. No music. No distractions. Instead of immediately reaching for something to fill the silence, notice your thoughts. What keeps coming up? Is there something you've been avoiding, suppressing, or distracting yourself from? Chuck's challenge is not just to notice it, but to identify something that needs your attention and begin working through it. Connect with Lawrence C.

Send us Fan MailIn this Journal Club episode, Daphna presents a JAMA Pediatrics randomized trial led by Mandy Belfort and Terrie Inder. It tested whether point-of-care human milk analysis, used to individually target protein and fat fortification, improves outcomes in infants born at 24 to 30 weeks. Milk was analyzed every weekday with the Miris analyzer. Fortification in the intervention group was adjusted to meet protein and energy targets. Growth, body composition by air displacement plethysmography, and term-equivalent brain MRI were no different from standard fortification, and all infants met recommended intakes. Two-year outcomes will be reported separately.----Individually Targeted Human Milk Fortification: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

If you already have an attorney, maybe a financial advisor, and perhaps a therapist, why would you need a divorce coach too?Strategic Divorce Consultant and High-Conflict Divorce Coach Mardi Winder talks with Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Divorce Coach Kimberly Lorah about what divorce coaching actually is, how it differs from therapy, and where a coach can fit into your professional divorce team.Kimberly brings a unique perspective to the conversation because she works as both a therapist and a Divorce Coach and has also experienced divorce herself. She explains why therapy and coaching aren't interchangeable and why some people may benefit from having both types of support.Mardi and Kimberly also discuss the practical side of divorce coaching. A coach can serve as a thinking partner, helping you get clear about what matters to you, prepare questions for other professionals, think through the consequences of different choices, and manage emotions so they don't take over when important decisions need to be made.They also take a closer look at mediation preparation and why knowing what you want before you enter the room can make such a difference. Divorce can feel overwhelming, but preparation can help you approach important conversations and decisions with greater clarity and confidence.Q&AQ: What is the difference between therapy and divorce coaching?A: Therapy and coaching serve different purposes. Kimberly describes therapy as going deeper into past experiences, trauma, patterns, and mental health concerns. Divorce coaching is generally more present and future-focused, helping clients identify goals, solve problems, prepare for upcoming decisions, and take actionable steps through the divorce process.Q: What does a Divorce Coach do if you already have an attorney and other professionals?A: A Divorce Coach doesn't replace your attorney, Financial Advisor, therapist, or other professionals. Instead, the coach can help you prepare to work more effectively with them. That may include identifying questions to ask, clarifying your priorities, thinking through options, preparing for difficult conversations, and helping you stay focused when emotions and overwhelm make decision-making more difficult.Q: Can a Divorce Coach tell you what decisions you should make?A: No. Kimberly describes the coach as a “thinking partner.” The goal isn't to tell you whether to keep the house, accept a settlement, or make another major decision. A coach can ask questions that help you consider what a choice could mean for your future and identify additional information you may need from the appropriate professional before deciding.Q: How can a Divorce Coach help you prepare for mediation?A: Preparation can include understanding what to expect, identifying what matters most to you, developing possible proposals, considering parenting and financial issues, recognizing potential emotional triggers, and practicing ways to remain regulated during negotiations. As Kimberly explains, mediation shouldn't be the first time you start figuring out what you want.Q: Why does emotional regulation matter when making divorce decisions?A: Anger, betrayal, fear, and uncertainty are understandable during divorce, but major financial, parenting, and legal decisions can have consequences long after those intense emotions have changed. A coach can help you recognize what you're feeling while also separating those emotions from the practical decisions that need to be made.About the Guest:Professional Counselor | Certified Divorce Coach | Single Mom | Divorce ThriverProviding you with the guidance of a coach, the expertise of a therapist, and the understanding of someone who has been through divorce.

Text us your questions or topics for the show! We got you!She fired four counselors. Now ChatGPT is her therapist.Not every therapist is good, so fire the bad ones. But four times, and every time right at the moment the accountability turned toward her? That's not discernment. That's shopping for an answer until something finally gives you the one you wanted.And AI will always give it to you, because you're the one supplying the facts.Here's the part I can prove. When I push back on ChatGPT or Gemini, it reverses. Six to twelve minutes and it's arguing the opposite of where it started. Then I ask it why it told me the first thing, and it won't answer. It tells me I sound frustrated.

In this role, she works with policymakers, Special Operations families, and veteran-serving organizations on the mental health needs of children living in veteran caregiver homes, a population largely absent from current policy and program design. Her advocacy focuses on the intergenerational effects of combat injury, including how a veteran parent's symptoms shape a child's development, attachment, and role in the family. She is a member of the Hidden Helpers Coalition and delivered the keynote address at the 2025 Elizabeth Dole Foundation National Convening in Washington, D.C. Elizabeth previously built a career in finance and technology and earned her J.D. before becoming the full-time caregiver for her husband, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, and raising their three children in the home his service shaped. Links Mentioned in this Episode Elizabeth Dole Foundation WebsiteMCON Health SummitElizabeth on LinkedInPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's resource of the week is the PsychArmor course, Supporting Youth Who Support Veterans.
