Bryan Kohberger Case: FBI Veteran Reacts to Bethany Funke's Trauma Breaking updates in the Bryan Kohberger case continue to surface nearly three years after the horrific Idaho Four murders. Newly released footage of surviving roommate Bethany Funke's FBI interview offers an emotional and revealing look inside one of the case's most critical witness statements. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, host of Break the Case, gives a powerful analysis of the interview style, Bethany's demeanor, and what this testimony means for the larger investigation. Bethany Funke, who lived at 1122 King Road on the night her roommates were brutally murdered, is seen crying throughout the interview—her voice trembling, her body language withdrawn, her trauma unmistakable. Coffindaffer notes how essential first impressions are in an interview: Bethany appeared terrified yet truthful, showing the hallmarks of someone recounting trauma, not deception. She emphasizes that while Bethany has faced online shaming and baseless blame, the reality is that it is a miracle she survived that night at all. Coffindaffer critiques the FBI process, pointing out the absence of a female agent in the room, the lack of a second interviewer, and the failure to obtain written consent before reviewing Bethany's phone. Yet she praises the interviewer's calm, empathetic approach, describing him as organized, compassionate, and effective in drawing out crucial details without intimidation. The interview's focus on Bethany's phone, social media, and timeline was intentional: investigators needed her cooperation and her sequence of events to determine who could be cleared. Bethany's account ultimately provided her with a strong alibi and solidified investigators' belief that she was not involved in the crime. This newly surfaced material is a stark reminder of the human toll left behind in the wake of Bryan Kohberger's alleged crimes. It also underscores the importance of careful, trauma-informed interviewing in high-profile true crime cases.

Episode 364: DJ TRAUMA "From ATL to Dave Chappelle, Navigating the Celebrity DJ Scene" This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew sits down with @DJTrauma to reflect on his journey from New York to Atlanta and beyond. At (00:55), Trauma recalls growing up in Manhattan and how his DJ name came from a friend's little brother. By (04:30), he's reminiscing about partying in the Meatpacking District and what it meant to be “outside.” He explains what it means to be a “vibe DJ” (07:15). He compares the craft of DJing to stand-up comedy (10:35). Trauma then shares how a free event unexpectedly led him to working with @DaveChappelle (12:52), and a relationship that grew into legendary gigs like First Avenue in Minneapolis and Radio City Music Hall in NYC (15:56). The conversation dives into Trauma's reputation as “Chappelle's DJ” (30:01), @PhifeForever performing at his 21st birthday, and the rise of Atlanta's unified scene with @Outkast, @GoodieMob, and @JermaineDupri (34:40). He speaks on the epic Freaknik parties (45:55), the power of ATL DJs (1:03:40), and throwing LA house parties where @mr_Camron once performed in his living room (1:20:20). Trauma also reflects on early trips to Africa, how Chappelle's Retreat and Summer Camp shaped his career (1:35:01), and why soulful events like Soul in the Horn keep him grounded in the music that matters.

In today's episode, host Tina Yeager is joined by Dr. Natalie Ford, a licensed professional counselor, speaker, author, and, as she calls herself, a “Hope dealer.” Together, they tackle the pressing and often unspoken subject of how to help children grieve after losing someone to suicide. Drawing from her own personal experiences with loss, as well as her professional expertise, Dr. Ford shares practical insights on navigating the initial shock, understanding when to seek support, and the importance of honesty and routine for grieving children. The episode also guides parents and caregivers through age-appropriate ways to discuss suicide, key warning signs to watch for, and steps to take to prevent further tragedy. Whether you're supporting your own family or looking for ways to help others in your community, this heartfelt conversation provides wisdom, resources, and hope for one of life's most difficult journeys. Stay tuned as we break the silence and lift each other up through compassionate understanding and practical guidance. Highlights from This Episode: Dr. Ford's Personal Journey Dr. Ford shares her journey of loss, having experienced suicide in her immediate family. Out of both necessity and calling, she discovered a lack of practical resources to help parents guide grieving children, spurring her to write her latest book so that families don't have to walk this journey alone. Responding During the Shock Period In the immediate aftermath of suicide, parents and children alike often function in survival mode. Dr. Ford encourages leaning on supportive friends, family, and community during this overwhelming time and waiting for the shock to subside before rushing into counseling—unless ongoing dysfunction or distress signals a need for earlier intervention. When & How to Seek Help If daily tasks remain unmanageable for weeks or a child is overwhelmed by guilt, shame, or unrelenting questions about their loved one's death, it may be time to seek support—either through counseling or survivor support groups. Dr. Ford specifically recommends looking into resources from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, such as Survivors of Suicide (SOS) groups. Talking to Kids at Different Ages Dr. Ford advises honesty, using age-appropriate language. For younger children, simple explanations may be sufficient, while school-age children and teens require more detailed, open conversations. She stresses the importance of answering questions directly and reassuring children that they aren't to blame. Recognizing Warning Signs & Preventing Further Tragedy Those who have experienced suicide loss are at increased risk themselves. Watch for behavioral changes in children, such as withdrawal, acting out, or changes in eating and sleeping patterns. If you suspect a child is struggling, ask direct, caring questions and offer ongoing support. Don't hesitate to ask about suicidal thoughts and intent. Supporting Parents and Caregivers Dr. Ford emphasizes self-care for grieving parents—including maintaining routines for children, seeking support, and allowing children to grieve in their own way and time. Bringing trusted mentors and church community alongside your family can provide much-needed support—especially if children are hesitant to share the burden of their feelings with grieving parents. Resources for You Dr. Ford's latest book, “Through the Tears: Helping Children Grieve After Suicide Loss,” provides practical scripts, guides for different age groups, signs to watch for, and ways to honor lost loved ones. It is available on Amazon and at drfordwrites.com. A Final Word Grief after suicide is a long journey, but you and your child don't have to walk it alone.

Rich talks with recovery advocate Katie Lain about The Sinclair Method (TSM), a medication-assisted, science-based approach that helps people reduce or end problem drinking without the all-or-nothing pressure to stay abstinent. Katie shares her decade-long struggle with binge drinking, how naltrexone changed her brain's reward loop, and why TSM can be a discreet, at-home path to control for millions. Listeners will learn how cravings fade, why relapse rates differ from traditional models, and how to combine medication with real-life coping skills. Sponsored by Serenity Salt Spa Guest Bio: Katie Lain is the founder of Thrive Alcohol Recovery and a leading educator on The Sinclair Method for alcohol use disorder. Sober since 2017 through TSM, she creates evidence-informed content, works with clinicians and researchers (including naltrexone pioneer Dr. Joseph Volpicelli), and helps thousands regain control—without labels, shame, or mandatory abstinence. Main Topics: · Katie's story: daily binge drinking in her 20s, failed quits, and finding TSM in 2017. · How TSM works: take naltrexone 1 hour before drinking; it blunts alcohol's reward so intake naturally falls over time. · Timelines & side effects: early wins in weeks; most see full results around a year; common, mild early side effects often fade. · Myths & misconceptions: moderation can be possible after dependence when the brain is “re-trained”; naltrexone is non-addictive; TSM can be done discreetly at home. · Comparing models: high relapse after traditional treatment vs. strong outcomes reported with TSM; why adherence (taking the pill before drinking) matters. · Trauma, coping skills, nutrition: meeting the medication halfway with therapy, skills, and health supports. · Success stories: from daily bottles to effortless moderation; unexpected alcohol indifference.

Is it ever okay to walk away from your own mother… or your husband? (Cue the gasps from the peanut gallery clutching their pearls.) If you grew up in church culture, you probably heard that honoring your parents and submitting to your husband meant swallowing abuse with a smile. But guess what? That's not actually what Jesus had in mind.In this episode, I sit down with Christian counselor and author Kris Reese (yes, the YouTube powerhouse with over 476,000 subscribers) to dismantle the toxic myths that keep Christian women chained to destructive relationships.Together, we talk about:The big guilt trip – Why Christians confuse “honor” with “obey” and how that keeps grown women stuck in parent-child dynamics with their 70-year-old mothers.The covenant conundrum – What makes walking away from a spouse more complicated, and why wisdom (not religious rule-keeping) is the real key.The fog machine – Fear, obligation, and guilt: the trifecta abusers use to keep you running in circles like a hamster who just discovered Peloton.Boundaries ≠ lack of forgiveness – FACTS: You can forgive your mom and still not show up to her guilt-drenched Sunday dinners. You can forgive your husband and still not share a bed with him while he weaponizes scripture against you.Manipulation tactics 101 – Victimhood and scripture-twisting are the go-to moves of toxic moms and spouses everywhere. (“You're not being a good daughter/wife” translates to: “My control over you is slipping and I hate it.”)Trauma bonds and porcupines – Why you might be clinging to the emotional equivalent of a barbed-wire teddy bear, and how to finally put it down without losing your sanity.Why Christians stay too long – It's not because they're lazy or selfish. It's because they've been conditioned to confuse holiness with masochism.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Go to Kris' website to get on the waitlist so that you're the FIRST to know when her new book, Breaking the Narcissist's Grip, is released!Get her FREE Narcissist Survival Guide.

Today we tackle the common issue of how parents should handle planned emancipation when their teenager carries one or more diagnoses like ADHD or Oppositional Defiant Disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorder or Dyslexia or Depression or Anxiety or Trauma etc. etc. etc. This question comes up a lot! Dr. Ken's take is clear and freeing—the diagnosis shapes how you coach but not whether you give freedoms. Parents can adjust their approach, offer tools, and expect some natural consequences, but lowering the bar only delays the growth they'll need when the world stops making accommodations. If you have a minute, please leave us a review. We love hearing listeners encouraging other listeners. You can order Dr. Ken's book "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" here.Got questions or feedback?

We talk a lot about how trauma affects our mental health, but have you thought about what it does to your body? In this episode, host Paula Felps sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of The Biology of Trauma, to explore how trauma is stored not just in our minds but in our bodies — and how that impacts our physical health, relationships, and overall well-being. Drawing from her experience as a physician and foster parent, Dr. Aimie shares how traditional talk therapy often misses the mark, and why understanding trauma as a biological process opens the door to more effective healing. In this episode, you'll learn: How trauma differs from stress — and why trauma, not stress, is what makes us sick. Why stored trauma shows up in physical symptoms, emotional patterns, and relationship dynamics. How somatic self-practices can help shift your nervous system and begin healing —even when energy is low.

Traditional healing approaches often focus on managing symptoms or returning to who you were before. But what if healing could take you beyond recovery to discovering capacities you never knew you had? What if your patterns of responding to stress getting stronger over time isn't a sign of failure, but your nervous system following predictable patterns that can be redirected? In this episode, I share excerpts from my book, The Biology of Trauma. I share a section from Chapter 8 on the "Body trauma loop" - explaining how the body holds on to trauma from our past. More importantly, we discover how the same neuroplasticity that automated these survival patterns can create new ones - through specific neuroscience principles. Key Topics & Timestamps: [04:31] The Body Trauma Loop: Understanding why incomplete trauma responses compound over time like collecting rocks while hiking [06:56] Danger-Colored Glasses: How neuroception gets programmed to see threats everywhere, even in safety [09:03] Neuroplasticity and Trauma: Why "neurons that fire together, wire together" applies to both harmful and healing patterns [10:56] Book Community Insights: Early readers share experiences with the first three chapters - difficulty putting it down, compelling writing style, and wishing they had this resource decades ago [14:21] Consistency Over Intensity: The key principle for rewiring neural pathways and creating lasting change [19:02] The Seabiscuit Story: Finding hope in the journey from broken to magnificent [21:27] True Expansion: Moving beyond healing symptoms to discovering who you can become [25:41] From Healing to Living: The shift from "what needs fixing" to "how can I be more alive" [29:35] Community Transformations: Real stories of cellular-level changes and newfound aliveness [34:32] Four-Year Journey Wisdom: Taking healing one step at a time and trusting the process [36:47] Reader Feedback: Deeper understanding even after taking multiple courses Main Takeaways: The Body Trauma Loop: Incomplete trauma responses compound over time, making reactions stronger through accumulated cellular danger and nervous system dysregulation Neuroplasticity Works Both Ways: The same mechanism that automates trauma patterns can create healing patterns through consistent daily practices Consistency Changes Everything: Small daily actions rewire neural pathways more effectively than big one-time efforts - it's about what you can do today that you can also do tomorrow Danger-Colored Glasses: Neuroception can get stuck viewing everything as a threat, even normal cues of safety, keeping you trapped in activation or overwhelm True Expansion Has No End: Healing is like a spiral staircase where each step takes you higher and deeper, with no limit to how far you can go Safety Must Come First: Your nervous system needs felt safety before it can release stored trauma - forcing expansion crushes growth From Fixing to Living: The ultimate shift is from asking "what's wrong with me?" to "how can I be more alive?" Notable Quotes "Whatever is repeated will be habituated to save us energy from having to think about how to do the same process in the future." "Small hinges move big doors. The small choices made consistently change the big doors in our life." "How can I be more alive? How can I be more present? As we identify what is holding us back from being more alive in the ways we want, we discover the next layer of the spiral staircase." "I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening, a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation." - Peter Levine Episode Takeaway The healing journey doesn't have to be a lifelong struggle. When you understand that trauma responses are automated through neuroplasticity - the same process that helps you learn to drive or brush your teeth - you can harness this same mechanism for healing. The key is consistency over intensity, following the right sequence of safety-support-expansion, and recognizing that your body has an innate capacity to heal when given the proper conditions and understanding. True expansion moves beyond just pushing through or managing symptoms to discovering who you can become when no longer held back by the past.

Some conversations feel like soul connections, and that's exactly how I felt sitting down with Dr. Erica Kreismann. Her journey from emergency medicine in New York—beginning just months before 9/11—to packing up her family and moving across the world to Tasmania is nothing short of remarkable. Through it all, what stands out most is her adventurous spirit, her heart for service, and her deep belief in the power of presence.In our conversation, Erica shares how burnout pushed her to reimagine life, what Tasmania taught her about slowing down, and why connection—whether with patients, colleagues, or loved ones—is the true heartbeat of healing. We talk about embracing fear as part of growth, letting go of judgment to make space for curiosity, and the life-changing shift that comes when you finally choose to fill your own cup first.A few gems you'll hear along the way:Why learning to be present is one of the greatest skills we can practiceHow fear isn't a sign to stop—it's an invitation to step forward with courageThe radical responsibility we must take for our healing and growthErica's story is a powerful reminder that life is an adventure meant to be lived fully, even when it feels uncertain.– Connect with Dr. Erica Kreismann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erica-kreismann/Website: https://www.onewildcoaching.com/ –Connect with Deanna:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannaherrin/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanna-herrin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedeannaherrinWebsite: http://www.deannaherrin.net

Welcome back to ADHD-ish! In this episode, host Diann Wingert sits down with Dr. Gilly Kahn, author of the recently published Allow Me to Interrupt: A Psychologist Reveals the Emotional Truth Behind Women's ADHD. Together, Gilly and Diann tackle often overlooked elements of ADHD, like emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity, shining a light on the daily realities that many women face but rarely see reflected in mainstream ADHD narratives.Drawing on both personal experiences and clinical insights, Gilly and Diann unpack hot-button topics such as the gaps in diagnostic criteria, why women are often diagnosed later in life, and the profound impact of being emotionally sensitive in a world that expects conformity.Whether you've been told you're “extra,” struggled with impulsivity, or have battled feelings of not belonging, this conversation will offer validation, strategies, and a healthy dose of humor. Grab your headphones—it's time to celebrate the quirks, strengths, and unique challenges of being a woman with ADHD. What you'll hear in this episode:Emotional Dysregulation is Fundamental (and Overlooked): While most people associate ADHD with distractibility and impulsivity, Diann and Dr. Kahn remind us that emotional sensitivity and reactivity are just as central—especially for women. Emotional outbursts, rejection sensitivity, and the complexities of self-regulation often remain unaddressed but profoundly impact daily life and professional relationships.Misdiagnosis & Misunderstanding Persist: Many women spend years feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, or even personality disorders, before discovering ADHD's unique presentation in females. Trauma from chronic misunderstanding—whether “big T” or “little t”—leaves lasting scars on self-esteem and career confidence.Diversity of Thought = Business Advantage: The strengths that come with ADHD—creativity, expansive curiosity, resilience in the face of rejection—aren't just “superpowers” for individuals. As Dr. Kahn eloquently puts it, teams excel when they have true diversity of thought. Those who think differently spark innovation and challenge the status quo.Mic Drop Moment:“You can't have strengths without also having weaknesses, especially when the strengths are extreme.” – Gilly Kahn, PhDGuest BioGilly Kahn, PhD, is a clinical psychologist, ADHD advocate, researcher, and author in private practice in Atlanta, GA, USA. Before pursuing a master's in experimental psychology and a doctorate in clinical psychology, Gilly studied creative writing, a passion since childhood, and regularly publishes articles on Psychology Today and ADDitude Magazine.

I want to be clear: I am heartbroken that Charlie Kirk was murdered. My heart breaks for his wife, for his two young children, and for everyone affected by this tragedy.But I also want to be clear about something else: he should not be made a Christian martyr. Charlie Kirk built a platform that promoted racism, misogyny, and a relationship model that has harmed generations of women—telling us our highest calling is to stay home, have babies, and submit to our husbands. He even said Taylor Swift should “submit to her husband.” I said: Absolutely not. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real damage of patriarchal relationships—for women, for men, and for everyone. I know the cost because I paid it. I was the stay-at-home, Proverbs 31 wife. And it didn't protect me. It broke me. Now I'm calling out the systems that keep women silent, broke, and stuck—and I'm giving you the tools to break free.SHOW NOTESFree Downloads:Get it Here: 10 Questions to Find an Emotionally Equal PartnerDownload your free guide: The High Value Woman's Guide to DatingWant a high-value relationship without playing small?

Dr. T and Truth Fairy are reunited for this episode and introduce a new episode structure to listeners. Each episode will examine, in three parts, the research and clinical research angle of a topic, then practical clinical perspectives, and, finally, a potential guest to weigh in on the topic. In this, part one, Dr. T and Truth explore the relationships between trauma, dissociation, and psychedelic therapy. They dig into how dissociation shows up on a spectrum - from everyday experiences like daydreaming to severe structural dissociation rooted in early trauma and survival responses. In the trauma model of dissociation, Dr. T and Truth Fairy discuss how the mind and body protect us each against overwhelming pain by sequestering traumatic memories. Truth names several books by people who have survived extremely traumatic situations to illustrate this. They also explore the role of the dorsal vagal complex in shutdown and numbing states, and how attachment wounds contribute to dissociation. Understanding these is key to safe and effective psychedelic therapy. Together, drawing on clinical research and personal insight, they highlight the protective and harmful aspects of dissociation, how it overlaps with conditions like PTSD, DID, and depression, and they examine how trauma can be carried in the mind and body. Part of their discussion involves how psychedelic medicines can offer healing by bringing suppressed experiences to the surface, alongside care and trauma-informed awareness and guidance. “And so, yeah, the idea is that in the process of dissociation as a response to trauma, it's protecting in the moment. But those memories and those experiences are still - if dissociation is happening in the moment of a traumatic experience, it might be protective - but then it might be sequestering and pushing some material into a different place within the psyche. And if that remains unresolved, you know, then it can wreak havoc and produce a lot of follow-on distress.” - Dr. T__Resources discussed in this episode:“Psychedelic iatrogenic structural dissociation: an exploratory hypothesis on dissociative risks in psychedelic use” by Steven Elfrink and Leigh Bergin, ‘Frontiers in Psychology', 3 March 2025“The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State” by Nadia Murad“Man's Search for Meaning” by Viktor E.

Either way, we all dream.And learning to work with our dreams from a more intentional or even therapeutic lens can be incredibly supportive in navigating complex mental or emotional states or even past or recurrent trauma in our lives.Our dreams may have more to share with us than we perceive.Today's guest, dreamwork and Somatic Experiencing practitioner Julie MacAdam is passionate about the world of dreams and what's possible when we begin to pay attention.I invited her to the podcast after I attended an experiential dreamwork practice she and her partner guided. It was a powerful journey that helped me to see the beauty in something that felt quite disturbing when I woke up from my dream.In a way, it was a healing experience. And it helped me to gain insight into he power of incorporating dreamwork into the therapeutic environment, especially when we're moving through hard things - but really even in everyday life.So many of us have past or current traumas, recurrent stress, or are navigating relational or collective complexities.So why not begin to explore what our dreams might be offering us? In this meandering conversation, Julie shares her embodied experience and also a whole lot of direction around ways you can begin finding gems in your dreams, as soon as tonight. :)Resources:Get started tracking your cycle: Track Your Cycle (FAM) guideSign up for: Natural Contraception Fall 2025 waitlistToday's shownotes: Get links to Julie's offeringsEpisode 140: Mugwort herbal spotlightEpisode 171: Somatic experiencing with Emma SchurinkIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

We've all heard of fight, flight, and freeze, but what about the fourth F of trauma responses? It's called fawning and we have Dr. Ingrid Clayon join us to discuss what it looks like (leaning in even when you're uncomfortable, needing to please), why we fawn in childhood, relationships, the workplace, etc., and how to break these patterns. We discuss how fawning compares and contrasts to people pleasing, and how fawners have trouble finding healthy relationships, saying no, recognizing their own anxiety, and being honest in therapy. And Ingrid offers advice for getting curious about the trauma responses that could be holding you back, recognizing and not sabotaging healthy partners, and speaking up when you don't like something. Before Ingrid joins us, we have a SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT, Ashley gives a family/health update, and Rayna is making new friends. Enjoy!
