Dylan Beynon, founder of Mindbloom, shares the deeply personal story behind building the first at-home ketamine therapy platform. After losing his mother and sister to severe mental illness, Dylan became determined to bring psychedelic medicine into mainstream healthcare. He explains the neuroscience of how ketamine creates neuroplasticity—allowing the brain to rewire itself—and why these treatments are showing 10x better outcomes than SSRIs. From navigating FDA breakthrough therapy designations to dismantling decades of stigma from Nixon-era drug policy, Dylan reveals how Mindbloom is democratizing access to treatments that were once only available in $5,000 in-person clinics.

In today's Q&A, we get into the real questions people ask when they're standing at the edge of a relationship crossroads. When you're torn between fear and intuition… when the attraction feels off… when you're trying to communicate your way through a situationship… when you're healing but also craving connection… when you don't know if you're choosing someone, settling for someone, or staying because it feels safer than leaving. These are the moments where the truth gets loud — if you're willing to listen.

This week we're still kicking on the no cannabis train, and I am grateful that it has been an easy transition! I attribute this to not being addicted to it; rather just dependent on the benefits for my quality of life! Addiction and dependency are two different things that can sometimes occur at the same time. However, for me, addiction is an imbalance within the soul, mind, and body rather than the actual drug itself! It's been difficult mentally since the withdrawals have cessated and I can see why PTSD is a qualifying conditions for medical cannabis! One day I will return to it with a new baseline; however I now realize the value of intermittent breaks! It will always be a tool for improving the quality of life for me, and just like any tool you can either build a house or cut your hand off with it! However, I built a pretty unstable house and so I am tearing it down to the foundation and learning new skillsets and tools to utilize in combination with cannabis when I return to it! Thank you all for the continued support as I continue to explore this new path in my life. Also big thank you to both Uncle Albert and Huachuma for shedding light on how unstable the house I had built was! The future is beautiful and will be even terpier when I return! And the headstash will be THICCCCCCCC because I am deep freezing everything! I also go on a rant about the Alcohol Nicotine Caffeine control system. Vote with your dollars against these industries that only exist to enslave our bodies, minds, and souls! Health + sanity is freedom and these drugs only deteriorate that within people.Support the show

This week we're hiking to the tree of wisdom to discuss the benefits of the Terpenoid compounds found in Lions Mane mushrooms / Shoutout to Golden Door! / and how they can help repair the cellular death caused by PTSD. Terpenes/Terpenoids are found in so many living things and they seem to fit into our bodies like keys that either unlock or activate certain systems for the management of our health! I also go on a rant about the rapidly changing landscape of our society again lmao; every week I get hit with some new wild information about how fucked society is. The earth is fine and shall live past our fuckery; however it makes me sad that we can't all live in peace and harmony. It would be so easy with just a shift of the general consciousness. At the very end of this episode I feature a new song I've created titled Aquila. It features a Ram Dass sample; if you're from his estate please don't sue me. This track is special to me and captures a beautiful night in my life. Skip to 48:10 to check it out! Thank you all for the continued support as I return back to a cannabis free baseline. I hope to reintegrate it into my existence once I develop more resiliance toward the internal and external horrors that I exist with daily. With a stronger soul will come more enjoyment from one of my life's greatest passions: the cannabis plant. Beyond the culture of it all, this plant is so special to me. My dad taught me the skill of growing it when I was 18 and that changed my life forever. And before my mom died, I was able to connect with her on a human level through the plant. It dissolves the boundaries of the illusion of parent/child and showed me the reality of human/human.Support the show

As we head into the holidays, many of us will encounter old memories and create new ones. You may spend time recounting stories from your childhood, learning a new line dance, or even taking orders in the kitchen on how to make a family recipe. Memory-keeping has long been a practice for humans across the globe, but for Black people, those traditions look different. And in the age of technology, the way memories are created, stored, and used introduce a new set of questions around who gets to call them their own. This week we're joined by Dr. Tonia Sutherland. Currently a professor and dean at UCLA, she’s dedicated her research to unpacking the uniqueness of Black memory work. And in her book, ‘Resurrecting the Black Body: Race and the Digital Afterlife,’ she digs into how technology, history, and data longevity affect how we practice archivism, and how those practices impact our digital afterlives. 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.

Send us a textThe first voice on a 911 call carries a lot more than a headset. In this candid, unfiltered conversation with veteran dispatcher and recovery coach Lisa Trusas, we pull back the curtain on what really happens at the console: juggling multiple emergencies at once, coaching panicked parents through CPR, catching danger in a whisper, and making judgment calls with lives on the line. Lisa's story reframes dispatch as the heart of public safety—where police, fire, and EMS meet—and where the weight of uncertainty often lingers after the line goes dead.We dig into the human cost of the work and the culture that shapes it. Lisa lays out the “double stigma” dispatchers face—expected to be as tough as sworn personnel while being dismissed as civilians when they seek help. We compare how fire and police approach debriefs and mental health, why dispatchers are too often left out of critical incident reviews, and how Massachusetts' mandatory behavioral health training is a step forward. Along the way, we discuss the “300-call syndrome,” the risk of missing red flags after too many routine hang-ups, and the practical skills that matter most: active listening, reading background noise, trusting instincts, and knowing when to insist on a second unit.This conversation also honors the rare moments of closure that keep people going—the infant saved over the phone who grows up and stays in touch—and the quieter calls that reveal unmet needs, like elders who call because they're lonely. If you care about first responder mental health, emergency communications, crisis intervention, and trauma-informed practice, this is a grounded, real-world look at where help truly begins: the first call.

Send us a textWhat if that sudden emotional storm isn't manipulation but a nervous system crying out for safety? We dive into borderline personality disorder with open eyes and open hands, mapping the path from trauma to dysregulation and from stigma to skills. Drawing on clinical experience and brain science, we explain why BPD often feels like living with emotional third-degree burns: an amygdala that fires at shadows, a prefrontal cortex that goes offline when stress peaks, and an insula that amplifies empathy and pain. It's a tough mix—high emotion, high sensitivity, low regulation—but it's not a life sentence.We get practical about what actually helps. Hear how dialectical behavior therapy teaches distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness in a way that builds the “wise mind,” the space where logic meets compassion. We talk about EMDR for trauma memory processing, attachment-based therapy for early wounds, and where medication fits for co-occurring anxiety or depression. We also get real about the work: progress is possible and common with consistent treatment, yet it takes time, repetition, and support. Along the way, we highlight the overlooked strengths many with BPD carry—fierce loyalty, deep intuition, and profound empathy—and how those traits become assets when paired with regulation skills.If you love someone with BPD, your role matters. Consistency counters abandonment fear, kind boundaries protect both sides, and small wins deserve big celebrations. We share clear, usable strategies so relationships feel less like a battlefield and more like a safe place to grow. For those living with BPD, you are more than a diagnosis, and your brain can learn new patterns. Hope isn't abstract; it looks like sessions, skills, steady people, and a growing sense of self that isn't defined by the past.Press play, bring your questions, and stay for the tools. If the conversation helps, share it with a friend, subscribe for more trauma-informed episodes, and leave a review to help others find their way to hope.You ARE:SEEN KNOWN HEARD LOVED VALUED

How do you scale your impact as a therapist without sacrificing motherhood, alignment, or joy? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Carly Costello — known as EMDR with Carly — to go behind the scenes of how she built multiple revenue streams while staying committed to her values as a mother. We dig into her journey of growing a thriving insurance-based group practice in West Virginia, expanding into EMDR consultation online, and building a niche Instagram audience that deeply trusts her expertise. We talk about the mindset shifts that helped her go from full time solo therapist to a CEO with five therapists on her team and a global reach through her consulting offers. We also explore how she strategically uses Instagram — not for viral fame, but for genuine connection — and how networking, simple visibility, and slow growth led her to sell out her first EMDR consultation cohorts for both therapists seeking certification and consultants-in-training. Carly gets real about expanding her vision while expanding her family (yes, she bought her office building while having a newborn!), navigating mom guilt, and trusting that building the business now will create more freedom for her daughter later.  Topics Covered in this Episode: 2:09 - How Carly built multiple revenue streams including a thriving group practice + EMDR consultation online 4:36 - The mindset and accountability shifts that made major growth possible 7:22 - Growing pains & boundaries when suddenly doubling your staff 18:47 - Scaling while having a newborn + buying her office building (yes, at the same time) 20:42 - The support + structure that keeps big goals moving even when life gets full If you've been dreaming of diversifying your practice or reaching beyond your state lines, this episode will show you what's possible and what it really looks like behind the scenes.

We explore why mental health isn't just personal, it's professional too.   From the employee perspective, we discuss what it means to show up for yourself and ask for support. From the manager's view, we unpack how to create space for honest conversations and emotional safety. And from the executive seat, we talk about why investing in well-being is actually good business.   We may not have psychology degrees, but we do believe therapy helps build emotional intelligence, stronger teams, and more resilient workplaces.   Have questions about this topic? Want to ask for advice from our team? Have a topic suggestion? Just want to say Hello? Do it! We love hearing from you and here is how you can get us:   Website: www.peoplecentric.com/contact Direct Email: podcast@peoplecentric.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peoplecentricUS YouTube: @PeopleCentricUS

If you've been going to therapy after betrayal and still don't feel any better, you're not alone, and you're not broken. Most people stabilise through therapy but then hit a wall. They can explain the affair, understand their childhood patterns, name their triggers… and still wake up every day feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or completely stuck. In this episode, Luke breaks down why this happens, and it has nothing to do with failure or inadequacy. You'll learn how betrayal dysregulates the nervous system, why therapy is essential but not always enough on its own, and the specific ways coaching creates the forward momentum you're craving. Luke also shares a powerful analogy about the rope and the hole, illustrating how therapy helps you climb out of crisis, while coaching equips you with the tools to move forward once you're out. If you've ever thought, “I understand what happened… so why can't I heal?” this episode will finally make things click.

The best (and cheapest) therapy for those small things that get under your skin is sometimes a good venting session so you can get it off your chest and move on with your life!

In this solo catch-up episode, Valeria invites listeners into a candid life update that is messy, honest, and a little chaotic in the best way. She recaps her recent trip to Nashville and the inspiring female entrepreneur event she attended before diving into a wide-open Q&A. From beauty procedures and where she stands on lip filler to the latest on her nose job and why she doesn't wear her engagement ring, nothing is off the table. Valeria also talks about reconnecting with her body, the importance of intentional time with girlfriends, and the perspective that keeps her from living with regrets. She shares a therapy update, her best advice for keeping a marriage thriving, and why she believes there's no single “right” way to live, especially in a place overflowing with possibility.

Show SummaryNatalie Elliott Handy, a caregiver for her husband and mother and co-host of the Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Podcast. During our conversation, we share the commitment that she and her sister have to highlighting and supporting military connected caregivers. Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you about the show. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts about the show in this short feedback survey. By doing so, you will be entered to receive a signed copy of one of our host's three books on military and veteran mental health. About Today's GuestNatalie is someone who genuinely loves people. She has a natural passion for meeting new faces, staying closely connected with family, friends, and colleagues, and, most of all, helping others. Anyone who knows her will readily say, “Natalie doesn't know a stranger.” It's simply who she has always been.Raised in her family's hardware store, Natalie learned early how to engage customers — and how to count change — by talking to everyone who walked through the door. At church, she was the first to volunteer to sing, recite Bible verses in “big church,” and attend every youth activity, especially lock-ins. In school, her teachers often placed her in the front row to help minimize “distractions,” because she was, without a doubt, a social butterfly.Those gifts — her ability to connect, her quick wit, and her desire to support others — naturally led her into leadership roles throughout her career in the mental health field. She married young at 21 and, many years later, again at 39. She often describes her first marriage as a light-hearted “practice run” with someone kind, but not Jason, the partner she shares her life with today.From the outside, Natalie's life looked picture-perfect: a fulfilling job, a loving husband, a close-knit support system, and of course, her beloved dogs. But behind the scenes, she was burning the candle at both ends — working 12-hour days, six days a week, answering every request with, “No problem. Happy to help.”Everything shifted when Jason was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022. In the midst of that crisis, Natalie confronted the truth that she couldn't keep living at that pace. During those darkest moments, she reconnected with her faith and, through that, rediscovered her true self. She learned to acknowledge her imperfections and, more importantly, to love herself fully — flaws and all.Today, Natalie has reordered her life with clear priorities: God, herself, Jason, family and friends, and then work. She says “no” far more often, seeks silver linings in difficult moments, and is grateful for the journey that led her to live God's plan instead of her own. She embraces the mantra of being “perfectly imperfect.”Her mission is simple: to share stories and experiences that inspire, uplift, and — whenever possible — spark a little laughter. She strives to encourage others to be true to themselves while supporting the people they love. And along the way, she fully intends to keep making new friends.Links Mentioned During the EpisodeConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Website2024 Heroes Caring for Heroes series2023 Heroes Caring for Heroes seriesPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is the PsychArmor course course Understanding the VA for Caregivers.

Iraq War veteran Dr. Timothy Vermillion discusses his harm reduction approach to veteran mental health, trauma therapy, PTSD treatment and suicide prevention. As founder of the Paradise Institute, he explains how EMDR memory therapy helps veterans process combat trauma and move from surviving to thriving.
