Podcasts about trauma counseling

On this episode of Wellness Rising from the Wellness House of Annapolis, Dr. Laryssa Creswell of Inspired Therapeutic Solutions tells us how EMDR therapy... Eye-Movement, Desensitization & Reprocessing… uses visual cues, sound & physical tapping to help deal with past traumas.

One word comes to mind to describe Trauma-Informed Care: that word is…compassion. With Latin origins, compassion means to suffer with (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Compassion upgrades empathy to include, not only the sharing of the emotional experience but also a desire to assist with alleviating the distress (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Trauma-informed behavioral health practitioners operate from a perspective of understanding (i.e. empathy) and intentional responsiveness (i.e. compassion); this approach focuses on the physical, psychological, and emotional needs of the survivor and the community (SAMHSA, 2014). Connect with me --> https://drmatmonharrell.bio.link/Written by Dr. Matmon HarrellReferencesMerriam-Webster.

From domestic violence to murder, sexual assaults, and abuse against children, former Australian detective, Luke Taylor, has sadly seen it all. But after struggling with his mental health from the job, one murder was the final catalyst for Luke's retirement: an attack on an unsuspecting nurse, killed by her very own family. Luke Taylor has since founded Crime Story Australia, hosting workshops where school students recreate crime scenes to learn how to problem solve and analyse crimes.

Here's some information about Nicole, in case some of you are new to Sexual Assault Survivor Stories. Nicole is a frequent guest on this show, and I want you to know some information about her. This information is published by Force Science, Nicole's employer, on their website: “Nicole Florisi, PsyD Candidate, LEO Director of Curriculum & Content Development, Staff Instructor Force Science Biography Nicole has extensive experience as an educator, police officer, and therapist. She provides front-line instruction in de-escalation, crisis communications, and force encounters investigations. With over 25 years of experience, she has held positions including communications specialist, patrol officer, patrol sergeant, investigator, and acting chief. She has held previous roles as a Law Enforcement Subject Matter Expert at and as the Executive Director for the Verde Valley Sanctuary; a shelter dedicated to providing services for victims of sex trafficking, sexual violence, and domestic violence. Nicole is currently working on her doctorate in clinical psychology. She holds two post-master's degrees; one in Human Factors Psychology and one in Trauma Counseling; an M.S. in Professional Counseling; and a B.S. in Public Safety Administration and Emergency Management.” Just over a month ago, Nicole Florisi reached out to me to let me know that there was a not-so-great situation that had recently come to her attention regarding a domestic violence/sex assault shelter. She told me that several residents of this particular shelter had reached out to inform her that there were some pretty extreme reports of inappropriate behavior and abuses perpetrated on shelter clientele at the hands of some of the shelter staff. Before I go any further, I want to emphasize that these reports were not initiated by Nicole, but rather by clientele residents of the shelter referenced in the reports. At the time Nicole reached out to me in July, we were not releasing the name of the shelter. But since the time of that recording, reports of the abuses and poor living conditions at the shelter were made public through an article published by the local newspaper, the . The shelter at the center of the reports is Verde Valley Sanctuary (VVS), which is the shelter at which Nicole had been the Executive Director. And the reason clientele of the shelter were reaching out to Nicole is because they know her, trust her, and thought that Nicole may be able to help. These reports had started coming to Nicole in the fall of 2023, and Nicole forwarded those reports, via email,  to the shelter administration and board of directors in October, 2023. Because Nicole did not receive any type of acknowledgement of her report from either the shelter or administration, she forwarded a second report to the Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence (ACESDV). The response that Nicole received from ACESDV, was that “ACESDV has visited the program and has not seen anything of concern.” But the reports of abuses and lack of services continued to come in from shelter clientele, and now were also being received by staff employees that had been terminated by the new Executive Director. Those same previous VVS personnel were forwarding some of the resident complaints to the newspaper, which in July 2024 published a story, “”. When Nicole reached out to me last month and told me about this entire situation, I was resolved to get her on SASS and discuss this situation; not to disparage Verde Valley Sanctuary, but to give an additional voice to the affected clientele residents, and to educate, discuss solutions, and talk about reporting options to my audience in case they are currently in a similar situation or find themselves in a shelter of any kind, anytime in the future. CURRENT SITUATION: Since it has been over a month since Nicole and I recorded this episode, I recently reached out to Nicole to let her know the episode was going to be published today (20 August 2024), and to ask her to provide me with any updates that may be available to keep you, my audience, appraised of the situation. Here is the update that Nicole sent to me: Hi Dave!  Here is an update so far: After the newspaper article came out, VVS responded to the claims with many false and misleading statements.  We are in the process of responding to this at this time.  The VVS Board President has been making untrue and disparaging remarks about me (and others who brought this to light) in emails to donors.  I do not know the status of my complaints to the state funders, as they are not required to report them to me.  Personnel from sister agencies have come forward to me after hearing about these claims, stating their clients have been telling me about how fearful they were of staff and of their mistreatment, and they have a lot of concerns about working with VVS at this time.  I had hoped we would have something more positive for you by the time this show aired, but we are still fighting the lies, manipulation, and corruption on behalf of the clients. No one should ever be victimized or re-victimized by those who are supposed to help.  Talk to you again soon, hopefully with better news. -Nicole  I hope that this episode provides some enlightenment and valuable educational information to all of my listeners, whatever situation you find yourself in. If you're a victim or survivor of rape, sexual assault, or any form of interpersonal violence and find yourself in circumstances that necessitate your need to utilize a shelter, of any kind, I hope this information is helpful. If you never need the services of a shelter but know someone who currently is in a shelter or may need a shelter in the future, please pass this episode on to them. Please hit the subscribe button on whatever podcast platform you found this show, and leave a review, if you would…it helps more than you know! Also, don't forget to do your part to help bring justice to victims and survivors of rape or sexual assault. A great way to do this is to Start By Believing! I am providing some website information, as well as links to the newspaper stories. In addition, you'll find my email address, as well as Nicole's, below. Nicole gave me permission to publish her email addresses and would welcome any inquiries for additional information or help for those who are in a similar situation.

Do you ever find fear rising up within your heart? Does the weight of uncertainty ever feel too heavy to handle? In the foster care community, uncertainty about how our “yes” may impact our family, our marriage, a child in foster care, another family, or even ourselves can throw us into fear and hesitation rather than trust and faith. I am so excited to welcome Jenn Hand for this conversation. Jenn founded Coming Alive Ministries in 2012 and has the honor of traveling around the world as a missionary and extending the invitation to come alive in Christ. She is an incredible example of someone who listens to God's direction! She has her Master's Degree in Trauma Counseling and is the author of five books. Jenn's most recent book is My Yes is on the Table: Moving From Fear to Faith. In this episode, Jenn shares about how saying “yes” is linked to surrender, what we can do with our fear, why stepping forward in faith doesn't always mean forever, and so much more. I really enjoyed this conversation, and am eager to kick off 2024 with this topic! Show Notes: https://theforgotteninitiative.org/jenn-hand-215/

One of the key factors that will determine how healthy you are in your marriage is and will always be working with your attachment styles and responses to threats and triggers. Yet the typical attachment wiring labels (secure, disorganized, anxious, withdrawing, and more) also need more fleshing out as well as acceptance, for each part of you has a role to fulfill to protect you and make you feel safe.

The body is a miraculous creation, and our nervous system is built for survival.  Yet, sometimes, our system reacts in ways that over respond to the level of threat, and anxiety, discomfort, rumination, ocd, or ptsd can keep us feeling like the past is still threatening or the future will threaten, and that can make the present pretty uncomfortable.  If you want to understand the overwhelming sensations and experiences your body might be providing to you and learn how to better manage anxiety and stress of a heightened nervous system, listen in.

The body and nervous system offer the first clues as to whether we are safe or in danger, and they sometimes send signals of danger, even when we are not in peril.  In today's episode are easy tips to calm anxiety in your body and ground yourself to a felt sense of safety.

Focusing on the names of God, today's meditation is a Scriptural meditation on the mindset that God is Jehovah Rapha, "The Lord who heals."

We are all fragile vessels of clay, like pottery fashioned by the Master Artist.  When you feel weak or hurt mentally or physically, God can mend you and strengthen you to heal and mend even stronger than you can imagine.  He makes broken pieces whole and beautiful.  So, if you are looking to heal from anxiety or heal from mental illness or hurts, you are in God's capable hands.

Pop culture feeds us a lot of songs, shows, and beliefs that, if we aren't careful, can become subtle lies that erode our solid Biblical foundation and Christian standards.  A healthy mindset and successful life don't come from seeking our own satisfaction, they come for doing things God's way.  That is the only way to true life success.

During the first half of his career, Dr. Mike Deninger rose to a leadership position in the education of deaf youth as an administrator at Gallaudet University. However, in his 40s traumatic childhood memories triggered a mental health crisis and an extended period of recovery. In the years that followed, he chose a new path as a trauma therapist and trainer after earning a counseling degree and trainer certifications in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and Eye Movement Integration (EMI). His innovations in trauma treatment culminated in the 2021 publication of "Multichannel Eye Movement Integration: The Brain Science Path to Easy and Effective PTSD Treatment." MEMI is an expansion of the original Eye Movement Integration technique developed in 1989 by Steve and Connirae Andreas of NLP renown. MEMI is distinguished from other eye movement therapies, because of its simple but clear theoretical model, its brevity and its rapid results. It also affords greater protection for clients than other eye movement therapies. Dr. Mike is keenly aware of the renewal that's possible when one frees the mind, relaxes the will and allows the body's neurological systems to heal traumatic wounds. He is a sought-after public speaker and trainer, having made hundreds of presentations at national and international conferences. Mike now shares his knowledge of and experience with trauma treatment via live seminars and on-demand webinars as a trainer with the Arizona Trauma Institute. For more information about MEMI trainings for counselors and life coaches visit www.aztrauma.org.

Why are relationships so hard?!  Why can't we just get along, communicate well, and have peace already? While we can't do the needed communication skills for others to calm stress, get along better, and force things to work, we can work on our own choices, thoughts, and actions. You don't have to have relational and communication anxiety about conversations when you know how to respectfully own your stuff and let others own theirs. Listen in for 4 tips for better communication and relationship connection to get along better with others and have more peace and less anxiety and stress within yourself.

What is the difference between a crisis and a problem? Hint: A crisis is not a few missed household chores but can be an unhinged mom yelling all the time.

Listen in.

Are you ready to start your day and your week with a great motivation meditation that takes the stress, worry, anxiety, and overwhelm from your shoulders? Listen in today, to help your mental and emotional health take a breather as you cast your cares upon Jesus and trust Jesus to sustain you.

Why do some people have so many difficulties in keeping themselves safe? How can attachment style from childhood impact an adult negatively today? Trauma is a wound, and surviving trauma takes resources that may or may not exist in a person's life not just in the present but from long ago.

Am I overreacting? Why is this bothering me so much? Why can't I stop thinking about this? What is wrong with me?   Why am I so upset? These are common questions we might ask ourselves if we notice that our feelings or responses are heightened compared to what a situation might seem to warrant.  However, it makes sense through the lens of trauma.  With a trauma lens, we can travel back in time to learn of the hot buttons of the original pain points and simply notice and observe the thread of trauma that might need some help to heal. If you suffer from anxiety, moodiness, anger, or deep hurt, you might want to listen in to learn how to identify your trauma story as your body remembers it. Your nervous system remembers what your mind may not even recall in thought.

Where is God when it hurts?   How does God care and love?   Today's motivation speaks to God's love and comfort to you!

What is dissociation? Why can't I remember parts of my childhood? Why does my mind go blank in the middle of a conversation? Do I dissociate because I have been traumatized? When you zone out, it may not feel so good, but it may just be your friend. When you have trauma, overwhelming anxiety, and overwhelming input, your system may dissociate to help you survive.  Listen in to learn more about trauma related dissociation.

Is anxiety stressing you out? Is your mental health affected by what's in the news or on social media? Do you think the world is horrible and wish it would be done already?  You may be having a trauma response. God has great purposes for you, and He isn't done yet.  Don't let the enemy take you out of making the impact God has for you to make by keeping you bound in unprocessed and unhealed trauma responses. Listen in for a new perspective.

What does Jesus say about rest? What is His plan for the way we work and do life? Hint: It isn't about having 125 open tabs on your iPhone like Michelle did this morning. Listen in for the first Monday Motivation Meditation: The Unforced Rhythms of Grace...for His yoke is easy, and His burden is light for you.  

Have you ever been to therapy and felt that the counselor just sat there and expected you to talk without offering real, meaningful solutions? Do you instinctively know that something deeper than talking is needed to heal what you feel in your system?  You may be experiencing the effects of trauma. Not only is the mind where memory is stored, but it is also stored in the emotions and physical sensations  of the body.    When trauma happens, memories aren't stored away all neat and easy like everyday things are.  Trauma overwhelms the nervous system and can even change your perception of time.   Trauma triggers can hijack your nervous system to believe that the threat is still happening, as it doesn't get filed away as a "past event." If you've thought that there must be more to healing, today's episode will get you started on understanding why.    

Have your thoughts ever gotten in your way? Do you wish you had a way to gain control over them? Would you like to try strategies for noticing what you are thinking and aligning it with God's truth? In this episode of Mental Health for Christian Women, you will learn 3 Tips for Capturing Your Thoughts so that you can make sure they are aligned with God's truth and put you on a solid foundation.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to Mrs. Michelle Binion. A certified mental health clinician, CMHC, who specializes in treating complex trauma and attachment disorders. She is a survivor of physical abuse from her childhood. How Michelle became Interested in Her CareerKnowing she wanted to be a therapist since the age of 14, Michelle attended college with her senior thesis on Reactive Attachment Disorder in Youth. She wanted to find out how to heal children with this disorder. During her graduate work, a guest professor spoke about attachment. Michelle, being interested in this subject, talked with the professor after class. He suggested that she study trauma within the field of psychologyWhat is Reactive Attachment Disorder?“This is a diagnosis we see a lot in children that have been in the foster care system or have been adopted.” In these children, what clinicians see is the inability to emotionally attach, along with an angry, reactive behavior that happens with people who experience significant lack and neglect. “It’s like the brain has adapted to the lack of emotional attachment, and it’s so terrifying for them to think about attachment that can’t.” The Difference Between PTSD and Complex Trauma“PTSD is like an earthquake where you have a scary event that happened. You could have intrusive thoughts or flashbacks.” Complex trauma is the chronic ongoing list of continual traumatic events. Often, this results from a continual chaotic environment, chronic abuse, and/or neglect, which can include the constant exchange of caregivers.How Michelle has Decided to Break the Cycle of AbuseWith a three and a one-year-old, Michelle is aware that her upbringing in an abusive and neglectful environment could recycle her children's raising. To avoid perpetuating this cycle, she has worked through her own story. "I manage my caseload differently, so I don't have as many clients that could trigger me."She advises other parents who have experienced trauma in their own childhood to listen to your kids. Learn attunement with your children and be aware not to repeat the behaviors of your parents.Links and ResourcesEpisode 005 Speak Loud PodcastLearn about Michelle with her practice at the Center for Christian TherapyJoin Me on Speak Loud PlatformSpeak Loud Podcast on the webSpread the message of Speak Loudly Podcast andshare this episode with a friend!***Disclaimer: All content found on Speak Loud Podcast, including text, images, audio, or other formats were created for informational purposes only.

Libby Murdoch of Brain-based Trauma Counseling and Consulting explains some effective strategies for people who believe they are experiencing trauma.WHAT IS THE HAPPY BRAIN PODCAST?It's frank conversations between Loretta Breuning and real readers of her book, Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphin levels. Do you wonder what stimulates your happy brain chemicals- dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphin? Read the book and send your questions to Dr. Breuning on the contact form at the Inner Mammal Institute at: InnerMammalInstitute.org. You could be a guest on the show!The brain chemicals that make us feel good are inherited from earlier mammals. They evolved to do a job, not to make you feel good all the time. When you know the job each chemical does in the state of nature, your ups and downs make sense. More important, you can re-wire yourself to enjoy more of them in sustainable ways.But it's hard. Our brain is designed to reward you with happy chemicals for steps that promote survival. But our brain defines survival in a quirky way: it cares about the survival of your genes and it relies on neural pathways built in youth. To make things even harder, our brain habituates to the rewards it has so you always have to do more to get more happy chemicals.We are not born with survival skills like our animal ancestors. Each newborn human wires itself from its own early experience. Happy chemicals are like paving on your neural pathways, wiring you to repeat behaviors that made you feel good before. This is why our urgent motivations don't make sense to our verbal brain. It's not easy being mammal!When you know how your brain works, you can find healthier ways to enjoy happy chemicals and relieve unhappy chemicals. You can build new neural pathways by feeding your brain new experiences. But you have to design the new experiences carefully and repeat them a lot. The Inner Mammal Institute has free resources to help you make peace with your inner mammal: videos, blogs, infographics, and podcasts. Dr. Breuning's books illuminate the big picture and help you plot your course. You can find new ways to feel good, wherever you are right now.Music from Sonatina Soleil by W.M. Sharp.

During the first 30 minutes of this program, Marnie and special guest speaker Susan VandePol will discuss: 1. The dynamics of loss and grief: How it differs from one scenario to the another. 2. Why we, even if we are close friends, or have been affected by a similar loss, are often reluctant to face into the grief of others with them. 3. Some common warning signs of unhealthy grief. 4. What the Bible commands Christians to do for the grieving. 5. How to traverse the challenging waters of being sympathetic without pretending to understand their precise pain. Susan VandePol founded the “Families of the Fallen” protocol after the dutyrelated death of her husband. It is being used across the country and endorsed by experts.

It all happened while we watched and gasped. Never before has the world been exposed to such vivid and comprehensive footage of a disaster of this magnitude.  The Japanese Tsunami is unique among all natural catastrophes in its power and exposure to the world. The images have been riveting but it is critical for us to remember they are indeed real. Real people were consumed. Real people were scrambling from those horrifying waters. Mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons spent their last moments in abject terror and were washed away in an instant. And because we watched it happen on computer and TV screens, it seems distant and unreal.  And the pain and suffering will continue. Radiation leaks, homelessness, disease, mourning, rebuilding and the fear of recurrence  - these will be the new normal in these coastal towns. It is right for events like these to completely rock our sensibilities. It is right to mourn, normal to question, and good for us to respond in tangible ways. The following articles and links are provided for us to enter in to this tragedy in a way that is honest, human, charitable and hopeful.In the end, comprehensive answers may elude us. But we can draw comfort from the God who holds our tears in a bottle (Ps. 56:8) and who was willfully crushed under the full weight of the world's sin and agony to deliver all of those who would trust Him into a place where tsunamis happen no more.Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

This is a town of 17,000.Human Reaction and Biblical Answers - What are we to think?Sympathy for Japan, and Admiration by Nicholas KristofA Prayer for Japan by John Piper. Here is a moving excerpt from that prayer:O God, we humble ourselves under your holy majesty and repent. In a moment—in the twinkling of an eye—we too could be swept away. We are not more deserving of firm ground than our fellowmen in Japan. We too are flesh. We have bodies and homes and cars and family and precious places. We know that if we were treated according to our sins, who could stand? All of it would be gone in a moment. So in this dark hour we turn against our sins, not against you.And we cry for mercy for Japan. Mercy, Father. Not for what they or we deserve. But mercy.Have you not encouraged us in this? Have we not heard a hundred times in your Word the riches of your kindness, forbearance, and patience? Do you not a thousand times withhold your judgments, leading your rebellious world toward repentance? Yes, Lord. For your ways are not our ways, and your thoughts are not our thoughts.From The Boston Globe's The Big PictureNPR Interview w/ Piper regarding the 2004 Tsunami in the Indian Ocean This is a remarkably helpful piece and one I have gone to time and again when faced with the inevitable questions that accompany profound suffering.

She will serve on a seven-person, international team focused on providing high-level support and advice to the Japanese Red Cross, which continues to lead the local earthquake and tsunami response.You can donate $10 to the Red Cross by texting "redcross" to 90999 as well.God have mercy.How should we respond to the tragedy in Japan? from Summitview Community Church on Vimeo.
