In this powerful conversation, Spencer Coursen, threat management expert, bestselling author, and host of Coursen's Corner, opens up about the journey from trauma to healing, and what it truly means to “win the war within.”Spencer shares the story behind his darkest moment, the service dog who saved his life, and how plant medicine, CBT, and emotional integration helped him rebuild from the inside out. We explore the difference between instinct and intuition, why women must trust their inner signals, the rise of false confidence in men, how to cultivate authentic masculinity, and what actually keeps us safe in modern life. This episode dives into trauma recovery, psychedelic healing, dating dynamics, emotional intelligence, safety, self-trust, courage, and the work required to grow into the person you're meant to be.Spencer's new book, Winning the War Within, releases June 26, 2026.Connect with Spencer:Website: https://www.spencercoursen.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/s.coursen/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxwzst3QHsORLLRzluNw7s6LW0G_O6HZc The Safety Trap on Amazon: https://www.spencercoursen.com/the-safety-trapConnect with Kristin:WebsiteInstagramYouTube Kristin's Best-Selling Book:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sex, Drugs, & Soul on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify Audiobook Link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Podcast:YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For 10% off pleasure goodies at WAANDS, use code SEXDRUGSSOUL.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Dr. Christal L. Badour to cut through the internet noise around trauma healing. They break down what actually happens in the brain and body during trauma. Why memory can show up as vivid snapshots with gaps. And why that is a survival feature, not a personal defect. Dr. Badour also explains how to spot credible healing information in a world full of “pretty but flimsy” wellness content. She points listeners to research-backed sources like global and national trauma organizations, then adds a grounded take on generative AI. It can help you find reputable resources, but it is not a replacement for real clinical care or human connection. The conversation closes with a practical shift. Trauma-informed environments change everything. Families, workplaces, and communities can support recovery by moving from “what's wrong with you” to “what happened to you” and “what do you need.” About the Guest: Dr. Christal L. Badour is a licensed clinical psychologist, researcher, and founder of Science for Survivors. She has led federally funded research on PTSD and substance use, trains clinicians, and translates paywalled research into real-world language survivors and communities can use. Key Takeaways: Trauma responses start during the event. Your brain's #1 KPI is survival, not comfort. The limbic system ramps up fast. The amygdala helps drive threat detection and intense emotions. Trauma memories can store as sharp snapshots with gaps. That is common and not “proof” you are broken. Confusion after trauma is often the brain reviewing threat data, not weakness or failure. Online healing content can look credible because production quality is not evidence. Packaging is not peer review. Start with research-grounded hubs like the World Health Organization and major trauma education networks. Evidence-based tools and spiritual reflection can coexist. Real humans do not heal in tidy categories. Generative AI can act like an advanced search engine for credible sources. It should not replace therapists or care teams. Trauma and substance use often intersect. Coping via substances is not a moral failing, but it can become harmful over time. Trauma-informed workplaces improve outcomes. Shift from blame to support and psychological safety. How Listeners Can Connect With the Guest Website: http://www.scienceforsurvivors.com/  Explore Dr. Badour's blog on trauma recovery science.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman, the Stanford neuroscientist powering the worlds top health podcast, has been buzzing with podcast drops that blend brain science and raw humanity over the past week. On December 22, Huberman Lab released a gripping three-plus-hour episode with artist David Choe, diving deep into transforming pain and trauma into creative fuel, touching on hope, faith, even Santa Claus, as noted on the official Huberman Lab site. Just days earlier, on December 18, he unveiled a goal-setting hack episode urging listeners to visualize failure for success, highlighted by Apple Podcasts as a bombshell from Huberman Lab Essentials.The real standout came December 17 via PRNewswire, when Huberman guested on Punk Rock Sober, chatting profound topics like fear, gratitude, addiction, and punk rock sobriety with host Tyler Ramsey and his nine-year-old son River. This groundbreaking multigenerational talk, released December 15 and now on YouTube, redefined norms with Hubermans humble insights on bravery as showing up amid fear, landing big with recovery crowds.A niche ripple hit December 19 on YouTube, where SunPowerLEDs Tom Kerber reviewed Hubermans recent two-part interview with Dr. Glen Jeffery on light therapy for brain health, concussions, PTSD, even dementia and Parkinsons, praising its vision-boosting potential. No major public appearances or business moves surfaced, and social media buzz stays steady with fans on Huberman Lab praising his digestible science. Unconfirmed whispers of broader LED therapy expansions linger from that review, but nothing verified. Hubermans quiet dominance in neuroscience chatter continues, no scandals, just science that sticks.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

A2 THE SHOW #592Our next guest is Dr. Bruce D. Perry, a leading child psychiatrist and neuroscientist, known for his groundbreaking work on trauma, brain development, and healing. In this episode, Dr. Perry explores how fear, stress, technology, and trauma shape human behavior, why genuine relational connection is essential for well-being, and how early experiences influence mental health across a lifetime. From the impact of digital isolation and AI on communication to understanding brain development, emotional regulation, and resilience, this conversation offers powerful insights into what helps people heal, connect, and thrive.

What if the hardest part of healing isn't forgiving others — but returning to the part of yourself you left behind?In this episode of The Lucas Mack Show, Lucas shares a deeply personal story from childhood — a moment of abandonment that shaped how he learned to survive by disconnecting from his true self. What begins as a seemingly small memory reveals a universal pattern: when fear, pain, or trauma overwhelms us, we don't just endure it — we abandon parts of ourselves to stay safe.As adults, that survival strategy becomes a prison.We wear masks.We armor up.We perform strength.And slowly, we lose touch with the innocent, truthful, loving self we once were.In this episode, Lucas explores:How childhood trauma teaches us to abandon our inner childWhy survival masks feel protective but keep us stuckThe difference between coping and healingWhy freedom requires facing, naming, and speaking past painHow to become the hero and rescuer of your own inner innocenceThis isn't about blaming the past — it's about reclaiming what was lost.Healing begins when you stop waiting for someone else to save you…and choose to return to the part of you that never stopped longing for truth and love.You don't heal by becoming stronger.You heal by becoming whole.If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself, stuck in performance, or afraid to slow down and feel — this episode is for you.

“There is so much emotional energy moving, a lot of grief for people, and I think largely a lot of that is stemming from the fact that we are ending this nine year cycle... there is definitely a shift amidst us and I think we all can feel it.”We're standing at the edge of a massive energetic threshold. In this 2025 wrap-up, I'm not just recapping the year; I'm diving deep into the completion of a profound nine-year cycle that began in 2017. If you've been feeling a heavy mix of grief, transformation, and a relentless push toward authenticity, you're not alone... you're exactly where you need to be.In this episode, I'm sharing my unfiltered thoughts on why the idea of "going back to normal" after 2020 was always an illusion and how we're collectively moving into a clearer, more prominent shift in 2026. I open up about my own journey, from the intuitive hits I had as a child watching The Terminator to the career-shattering moments as a school counselor that forced me to choose my own truth over arbitrary rules. We explore why playing by the system's handbook often means betraying your own intuition, and why true trauma healing requires us to stop performing and start embodying who we actually are.This is a rant, a reflection, and a roadmap all in one. We discuss the trap of pop psychology, the unconscious family dynamics we replay in our workplaces, and why 2026 is shaping up to be the "Year of the Individual." If you're ready to leave behind what you think you should do and finally step into what truly resonates for you, this episode is for you.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSThe 2025 Energy ShiftEnding the Nine-Year CycleAwakening to a new planetary reality after 2020The Terminator: My trigger to a deep soul-knowing about the global shiftsFrom a school counselor role to "the system is a dead-end street"Trauma in the Workplace: confronting my people-pleasing tendenciesSibling rivalry and parental projections in our professional environments2026: The Year of YouHow to work with me in the new year**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.Get a $500 discount when you join The Metamorphosis before 2025 ends.

Fear isn't just a thought.For many women, fear is a body pattern — and it often lives in the kidneys, adrenals, pelvic floor, and urinary system.In this episode of The Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast (Body Systems + Generational Healing Series), I'm breaking down — in simple language — how your urinary system is actually one of your body's main survival + safety systems.What you'll learn in this episode:-Why anxiety and chronic stress can show up as a kidney/adrenal pattern (not a “weak mindset”)-How generational trauma trains the body to stay on alert (and why it feels like you can't relax even when life is “fine”)-The urinary system basics: kidneys, bladder, urethra, pelvic floor — and what they're doing all day to keep you alive-How cortisol + adrenaline overload the system (and why dehydration can make anxiety louder)-The Root Chakra connection (safety, support, trust, survival) through trauma-informed Kundalini Yoga Therapy-The faith over fear reframe through A Course in Miracles spiritual psychotherapy: how faith can become chemical, not just spiritual-A simple, supportive kidney-nourishing practice + recipe you can start integrating right awayNow here's your Permission (because you might be in the “I didn't even know this was a thing” stage)-If you've been blaming yourself for being “too anxious,” “too tense,” or “unable to rest”…you're not broken.Your body may have been trained, for generations, to live like danger is always around the corner.And the good news is: the body can be re-educated. Safety can be rebuilt. Faith can be embodied. Your nervous system and brain can learn a new normal.Want support doing this work with structure + sisterhood?I'm Veronica Barragán, trauma-informed Kundalini Yoga Therapist and founder of The Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary, an online sanctuary for first-time cycle breakers healing rewiring their nervous system + brain from generationla trauma body + mind + spirit.If this episode hit home, your next step is simple:✨ Join us inside the Sanctuary (link below) and start rebuilding safety from the inside out.

In Fishing Without Bait Episode 496 – *Clearing the Etch-A-Sketch: Letting Go of What Isn't Ours, we continue Part 3 of our conversation with returning guest and Clairvoyant *Santina Grace. This episode focuses on healing trauma without rewriting or reliving the past. Through grounding visualizations, breathwork, and recovery-based insights, Santina and the Fishing Without Bait team discuss how emotional experiences can be deconstructed so they no longer control our present moment. Using metaphors like clearing an Etch-A-Sketch or rooting into the earth through mindful breathing, the conversation highlights how releasing emotional energy that doesn't belong to us creates space for clarity, neutrality, and joy. We also explore recovery as a universal human process — because everyone is in recovery from something — and how honoring yourself begins with learning to listen.

In today's episode Dr. Deb shares a rare and deeply personal moment in trauma healing. A moment that did not begin with a thought or an insight, but with a simple sensation in the body that arrived without fear, without story, and without the usual pull of survival mode. This episode explores what happens when the nervous system shifts into safety after years of vigilance. Listeners will hear how lightness, breath, softening, and clarity can emerge before the mind recognizes what is changing and how these somatic signals mark real progress in trauma recovery. Through lived experience and grounded psychology, Dr. Deb walks through the connection between sensation and regulation, the difference between fear based intuition and regulated intuition, and why the body often knows we have healed long before the mind has language for it. You will hear how an unexpected moment of inner child connection reflected years of work in a single gesture and why this kind of integration becomes a powerful sign of identity level healing. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered how to recognize genuine nervous system regulation, how intuition becomes clearer when the body is safe, and how healing often announces itself quietly rather than dramatically. In this episode you will learn • How a sensation without story signals nervous system regulation • Why the body often leads healing before the mind understands it • The difference between hypervigilance and regulated intuition • How somatic softening creates space for clarity and grounded insight • What it means when the inner child appears with trust and joy • How identity shifts become visible through somatic cues • Why small moments of ease are often the first signs of real recovery Reflection questions for listeners • What sensations tell me I am safe • Where do I feel softening in my body today • How does intuition feel when it is grounded instead of urgent • What has my inner child been waiting for • What identity shifts might already be happening in me If this episode resonates, share it with someone who may need a reminder that healing does not always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it arrives as a breath, a softness, or a quiet moment the body whispers you are safe right now. Follow, subscribe, and leave a review to support PTSD and Beyond. Join us on Ko-Fi to help keep these conversations going.

This week, Justin sits down with bestselling author Laura McKowen for an honest, layered conversation about sobriety, identity, creative calling, and the slow, often painful work of becoming whole. Together they explore:• Why “place” matters for emotional and spiritual grounding• The strange internal pull that guides creative people long before they have language for it• How early snippets of desire can act as breadcrumbs into a future self• The difference between writing for yourself and writing for publication• Why AA saved Laura's life—and where its framing can unintentionally keep people small• How relapse, repeated “Day Ones,” and imperfect recovery are part of the human journey• The relationship between money, creativity, and integrity• Why the long work of sobriety is ultimately a long work of identityThe episode closes with a reading from In the Low and a reflection on why wholeness—not speed, not perfection—is the actual goal.Laura's Website - https://www.lauramckowen.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/laura_mckowen Links For Justin:Read Justin's SubstackOrder In The Low - NEW Book with Scott EricksonCoaching with JustinOrder In Rest - New Book of PoemsOrder Sacred StridesJustinMcRoberts.comSupport this podcastNEW Single - Let GoNEW Music - Sliver of HopeNEW Music - The Dood and The BirdThe Book - It Is What You Make itHearts and Minds Amazon Barnes and Noble

Chasing external success but hitting ND burnout walls? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores personal mastery for neurodivergent high achievers with Jerry Henderson, creator of The Personal Mastery Framework™, author/speaker/coach/Personal Mastery Podcast host. Trained at Harvard in human behavior/neuroanatomy/resilience/habits (MBA Global Business, Master's Psychology in progress), Jerry helps trauma survivors (like his own childhood/burnout/imposter journey) blend IFS/NLP/positive psych for emotional resilience, limiting belief rewiring, and whole life success—beyond grind to clarity/peace. Key insights: Mindset pillar: Reframe fixed to growth (stress mindset, CBT for shame-driven achieving). NLP for beliefs: Anchor positive states, disrupt emotional loops (e.g., "happy button" for anxiety/perfectionism). Whole life vs. high performance: Holistic (relationships/sleep/nervous system) for thriving, not survival. Trauma-informed: IFS parts work (protectors/exiles), curiosity over judgment for resilience (ACEs impact). Habit formation: Start small/stack (atomic habits), align with self-worth to avoid sabotage. Clarity/peace: Intrinsic motivation, self-acceptance—external wins without void-filling. Authentic connection: Vulnerability in safe relationships (one fully disclosing starts it). Burnout fix: Honest self-reflection, ask help; job hopping ignores root causes (toxic patterns follow). For autistic/ADHD high performers in imposter/shame cycles, Jerry's framework (post-$1B philanthropy) sustains growth. Free call/resource at jerryhenderson.org.

"If you're somebody who is thinking about starting a business, I can tell you one thing: running the business is somewhat easy. It's all the emotional stuff, all the past trauma, all the core wound stuff, that's really what gets in the way."In this solo episode, I explore why we often feel scared about doing deep healing work. It's completely common to experience resistance because of the fear of the unknown and the looming question of who we will be on the other side. We often harbor an unconscious fear of what we might lose, whether it's relationships, comfort, or our current sense of safety, if we finally step into our power.I discuss how these fears stem from deep coping mechanisms created in childhood, where we learned to abandon ourselves to get our needs met. I also share my personal journey of leaving my job as a school counselor to fully commit to my business, describing the moment when the energetic frequency of staying became more painful than the fear of leaping.We dive into the nature of emotions as simply energy in motion and how resisting them causes symptoms like anxiety, procrastination, and self-doubt . Finally, I  address how ancestral programming of self-sacrifice holds women back and why clearing core wounds is the most critical strategy for business owners to truly succeed.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSResistance to Transformation: Why we fear the unknown and the common hesitation to dive deep into breathwork.The Fear of Loss: Addressing the unconscious worry that healing trauma will force us to leave partners or lose friends.Childhood Survival Mechanisms: How we learned to abandon our authentic selves to ensure survival and how this projects onto our adult relationships.Personal Leap: The energetic disconnect between working as a school counselor and running a business, and the moment staying became impossible.The Breaking Point: How a baby chick breaking out of an egg perfectly describes the necessity of painful growth.Energy in Motion: Understanding that emotions just want to move and that resisting them causes anxiety, self-doubt, and business blocks.Ancestral Programming: Breaking the societal and ancestral pattern of self-sacrifice that keeps us from valuing our own needs.The Unknown as Power: Shifting from fearing the unknown to dancing with it as a source of pure potential and creativity.Trauma and Business: Why business strategy is easy, but the emotional work and core wounds are what stop entrepreneurs from expanding.**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.Get a $500 discount when you join The Metamorphosis before 2025 ends.

When you practice menstrual cycle awareness, you start to feel more connected to yourself. This process of remembering and embodying more of who you truly are means that you may come into contact with parts of yourself that have been disowned, or that you've been shamed out of claiming.Our conversation today is especially designed to support you if you've been encountering or unearthing memories or experiences related to trauma as you track your emotional, physical and spiritual ebb and flow throughout the cycle month. Whether you've experienced acute trauma, developmental trauma, ancestral trauma or collective trauma caused by sexism, racism, homophobia, ableism and other forms of othering, discrimination or prejudice, Alexandra and Sjanie explore how cycle awareness can create a grounding of presence and self care to support trauma healing, through the lens of Sjanie's trauma healing journey, as well as stories from the Red School community, We explore:How the dismissal, suppression and denial of the menstrual cycle, and our cyclical nature is a form of subtle gaslighting that in itself is a form of trauma. Why certain phases of the cycle, such as the premenstrual phase, as well as perimenopause and menopause, open you to your shadow side and your trauma.Some practical steps to get started with working with your cycle to support trauma healing. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Elissa opens up about triggers that still appear years later, how grief intersects with trauma, and why survivorship is an ongoing process of unlearning and rebuilding. She shares the emotional and spiritual turning points that led her into advocacy and the extraordinary, grief-anchored moment that connected her to Tala, the young woman whose legacy inspired Tala's Closet. Nick and Elissa also discuss the impact of post-separation abuse, the realities of healing while co-parenting, and the courage required to reclaim your identity after trauma. The conversation expands into community, purpose, grief education, and the life-changing ripple effect Elissa now creates for survivors everywhere. This episode is both a testament to the power of healing and an invitation to believe that rock bottom is not the end of your story.  Elissa interview - transcript -…This episode answers:What does long-term healing from domestic violence and trauma actually look like?Why do triggers and flashbacks appear years after leaving an abusive relationship?How does grief show up in survivors long after the abuse ends?What is Tala's Closet, and how does it support survivors starting over?How can someone still in an abusive relationship recognize the moment they're ready to leave?Key Takeaways:Survivorship is an ongoing grief-infused process of unlearning fear and rediscovering identity.Triggers often surface unexpectedly, even in healthy relationships, and do not signal failure.Post-separation abuse, legal abuse, and co-parenting challenges extend trauma long after leaving.Tala's Closet grew from grief, purpose, community, and Elissa's commitment to honoring a life lost to domestic violence.Rock bottom is not permanent—healing begins when survivors reclaim self-trust, anger, and agency. GIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

Elissa shares how her abusive relationship began, the isolation that followed, and the brutal erosion of her confidence, voice, and sense of self. She describes the moment she realized she had become a shell of the person she once was—and the day she finally escaped with her son, her dog, and a single laundry basket of clothes. Nick guides the conversation through the grief that survivors carry long after leaving: grief for the life they imagined, grief for the version of themselves they lost, and grief for the safety they never had. Elissa's story is raw, grounding, and rooted in truth, offering survivors and supporters a roadmap toward healing, self-awareness, and reclaiming personal power. This episode opens the door to conversations many survivors have never been able to speak out loud, shining a light on emotional strength, community, and the long road out of darkness. Elissa interview - transcript -…This episode answers:What are the early warning signs of emotional abuse that most people miss?Why do so many survivors stay, return, or feel trapped in abusive relationships?How does identity loss show up during long-term domestic violence?What does the escape process really look like for survivors with children?How can survivors rebuild confidence, autonomy, and safety after trauma?Key Takeaways:Abuse often begins with love-bombing, isolation, and subtle emotional erosion.Survivors grieve the loss of identity, safety, and autonomy long before they can leave.Leaving an abusive relationship is rarely a single event—it's a repeated, dangerous cycle.Self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools a survivor gains after escaping.Healing requires support, community, and the reclamation of personal voice and power. GIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

In Episode 494 of Fishing Without Bait, we welcome back returning guest and clairvoyant medium Santina Grace for the first part of a warm, insightful, and deeply grounding conversation on reconnecting with joy, presence, and peace in today's chaotic world. Jim and Santina explore some of the most important emotional and spiritual challenges of our time, including: • Finding joy in a world that feels overstimulated and overwhelming • The myth of productivity and how tying your value to output diminishes your sense of self • How fear fuels anxiety, and why anxiety can only live in the future—not the present moment • Honoring the small comforts we take for granted—warmth, food, connection, breath • How to protect your energy from negative media and emotional overload • The difference between pleasure and true joy • How children naturally process emotion with immediacy, and why adults lose that instinct • Using memories and sensory anchors to return to peace during difficult times • The illusion of separateness and the importance of compassion • Breaking generational patterns of unworthiness • Choosing where to place your attention—and therefore your experience Santina shares wisdom from her years of intuitive work, helping listeners understand how to stay grounded, grateful, and connected even when the world feels chaotic.

In this deeply moving episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Dr. Virginia Marston, a trauma-healing practitioner whose work integrates family constellation therapy, holistic wellness, and generational healing. Together, they explore the profound connection between emotional healing, ancestral patterns, and the transformative power of self-awareness.Dr. Marston shares her extraordinary personal journey through trauma recovery, shaped by her experience navigating her daughter's cerebral palsy diagnosis. She reveals how this life-altering chapter became the catalyst for her deep dive into generational trauma — and how uncovering these invisible emotional inheritances can open the door to profound healing for individuals and families alike.Throughout their illuminating conversation, Dr. Alisa and Dr. Marston emphasize the importance of approaching wellness through the lens of mind, body, and spirit. They discuss how family constellation therapy helps reveal the unseen loyalties, emotional blocks, and inherited burdens that often keep people stuck in patterns of fear, pain, or self-sabotage. Dr. Marston explains why cultivating self-love, presence, and awareness is essential for breaking these cycles and creating healthier internal and external relationships.This episode beautifully highlights the necessity of redefining success — not through material achievement, but through the love, connection, and honor we cultivate within the family system. Dr. Marston's story is a powerful reminder that healing is not just personal; it is generational, transformative, and deeply human.Whether you're seeking emotional clarity, working through generational wounds, or exploring holistic healing modalities, this conversation offers both comfort and profound insight into what true wellness looks like.

Send us a textIn this deeply moving episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Erica Bonham, a trauma recovery therapist, EMDR clinician, and author of Always Enough, Never Done. Together, they explore how healing doesn't happen through willpower or “positive thinking”—it begins in the body.Erica reveals the difference between “big T” and “little t” trauma, how experiences get stored in the nervous system, and why self-compassion is a biological necessity, not a luxury. She opens up about her own story of adoption, identity, and transformation—showing that what breaks us can also become the soil for growth.You'll learn how to calm your body's alarm system, regulate your vagus nerve, and approach personal change with both structure and softness. Erica and Joey discuss how modern society confuses discipline with punishment, and how true strength comes from balance, not burnout.

Defining Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as psychotherapy that helps heal emotional distress from disturbing life experiences by using bilateral stimulation.Bilateral Stimulation: Discussing the different tools used for bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, the "buzzies" (vibrating eggs), or tapping.The Safe Space & Container Technique: Explaining the importance of building a mental "safe space" as a pausing mechanism during sessions, and the "container" technique for temporarily putting away triggering thoughts, people, or nightmares.Managing Intensity: Lori explains that EMDR can be intense and draining, and emphasizes the need for a therapist to allow time for processing after each session, rather than immediately ending the appointment.Coping Skills: Discussing practical, in-the-moment coping skills like grounding (focusing on the tangible environment) to manage fear-driven anxiety cycles and developing a personal mantra to combat intrusive thoughts.The History & Stigma of EMDR: Lori recounts how EMDR was once dismissed by professors as a "fallacy" in the early 2000s and why the training is so intensive.Overcoming Barriers to Therapy: The hosts and guest discuss the hurdles of seeking help, such as embarrassment, the "manly man" complex, and the frustration of having to "shop around" to find the right therapist.If you're curious about EMDR, seeking therapy, or looking for new mental health coping skills, this episode is a must-watch!GUEST INFO Lori Riley, LCSW Blue Skies Mindfulness https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/lori-riley-evansville-in/290090TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Episode Start & Guest Intro (Lori Riley, LCSW) 03:13 - Lori's Practice: Blue Skies Mindfulness 03:34 - What is "Grounding"? 05:56 - Brian's Therapy Journey & A Therapist Crying 07:09 - Introduction to EMDR Therapy 08:30 - Building a Mental "Safe Space" 13:17 - The Container Technique & Four Square Breathing 17:35 - How EMDR was viewed 20 Years Ago (A "Fallacy") 26:42 - Official Definition of EMDR 35:20 - The Power of a Mantra/Saying to Combat Anxiety 1:05:20 - Overcoming Barriers to Seeking Therapy (Embarrassment, Manliness) #EMDR #EMDRTherapy #MentalHealth #TraumaTherapy #TheDaysGrimm #LoriRileyLCSW #SafeSpace #AnxietyRelief #CopingSkills #GroundingTechnique #Therap[The Days Grimm Podcast Links]- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDaysGrimm- Our link tree: linktr.ee/Thedaysgrimm- GoFundMe account for The Days Grimm: https://gofund.me/02527e7c [The Days Grimm is brought to you by]Sadness & ADHD (non-medicated)

Send us a textWhat happens when you look in the mirror and no longer recognize the survivor staring back at you?For many women recovering from breast cancer, burn injuries, or traumatic accidents, the physical battle may be over, but the emotional war with their own reflection has just begun. In this deeply moving and transformative episode, host Lira Ndifon sits down with Yesenia Nissan, a Bay Area-based Permanent Makeup and Paramedical Tattoo Artist who is redefining the intersection of beauty and mental health.Yesenia takes us into the delicate world of Paramedical Tattooing—a specialized art form used to create realistic 3D areolas and camouflage scars. She shares her pivot from a corporate medical career at Stanford to finding her soul's calling: using ink to help women reclaim the narrative of their bodies. Yesenia recounts the tearful, pivotal moment she handed a mirror to a cancer survivor who had lost her brows to chemotherapy, witnessing not just a physical change, but a profound "relaxation of the nervous system" as the woman finally saw herself again.But Yesenia's empathy is born from her own fires. She opens up about her personal journey as a teen mother at 16, navigating the stigmas of single motherhood in the expensive Bay Area, and rebuilding her own shattered confidence through faith and resilience.This is a conversation about more than just skin. You will discover:The Science of Visual Healing: How restoring physical features like the breast can trick the brain into releasing trauma and anxiety.Beyond Vanity: Why seeking aesthetic restoration isn't about hiding; it's about taking control of your story.The Single Mom Hustle: Yesenia's raw advice on overcoming societal "brokenness" and finding power in motherhood.Faith & Business: How spirituality guides Yesenia's hands and helps her hold space for her clients' grief and joy.This episode is a beautiful reminder that while we cannot always erase our scars, we have the absolute power to redefine what they mean.

What if mania isn't a malfunction — but a message from the psyche trying to heal?Sean Blackwell is an author, teacher, and researcher who has spent nearly two decades exploring the spiritual and somatic dimensions of bipolar disorder. His work challenges the mainstream psychiatric model by suggesting that episodes of mania, depression, and psychosis often have trauma roots and can reflect deep inner attempts at healing rather than symptoms of a broken brain.In 1996, Sean went through a sudden and life-altering psychotic-spiritual emergency - an experience that would send him on a lifelong path of studying consciousness, trauma, and the symbolic nature of extreme states. Years later, after training with Grof Transpersonal Training, he developed Bipolar Breathwork, a somatic healing method designed to help people safely release the emotional and energetic blockages underlying bipolar symptoms.Since 2007, Sean has taught internationally, run immersive healing retreats, offered long-distance breathwork sessions, and released dozens of educational videos to help people reframe bipolar disorder as a potentially meaningful and transformative process. His book Bipolar Awakenings and his upcoming second book continue this work - bridging psychology, spirituality, trauma science, and subtle-body energetics into a new way of understanding human breakdown and human growth.Sean's approach is deeply interesting, compassionate, and grounded in real lived experience - a perspective that has helped many people find hope, coherence, and self-understanding after years of confusion or misdiagnosis.This episode explores the somatic roots of bipolar disorder, the symbolic language of psychosis, the role of trauma in extreme states, and how Kundalini and breathwork can create dramatic shifts in consciousness.Notable quotes from the episode:“People think delusions are random. But around the world, the same 13 spiritual delusions show up. There is structure.” - Sean“Breakdowns often happen because something in us finally refuses to stay buried.” - Sean“I've met so many people who weren't sick - they were overwhelmed by a truth they weren't taught how to carry.” - Jacob“What psychiatry calls a disorder can be the beginning of a profound inner journey.” - Sean“Trauma doesn't live in the mind. It lives in the body - and the body tries to heal in dramatic ways.” - Sean“The body whispers for years, and when we don't listen, it eventually sends a storm.” - Jacob“When those energetic blockages release, the result can look like mania, visions, or symbolic delusions.” - Sean“Sometimes healing looks like falling apart in ways we can't cleanly explain.” - Jacob“The psyche speaks in myth and metaphor. Mania is often that language becoming audible.” - SeanIf this conversation expanded your understanding of bipolar disorder or spiritual awakening, consider following the show and sharing it with someone it might help.00:00 Sean Blackwell on Bipolar Disorder & Spiritual Awakening00:00:25 What Bipolar Disorder Really Is (Symptoms vs Reality)00:01:30 Bipolar I, Bipolar II & Psychosis Explained00:02:20 Spiritual Delusions & the Ram Dass Connection00:03:38 Sean's Landmark Experience: The Turning Point00:05:05 Entering Psychosis: The Dreamlike State & Ego Death00:06:32 Crisis, Hospitalization & Early Integration00:08:05 How Helping Others Became Sean's Calling00:09:16 Supporting His Niece Through Awakening00:10:49 Why Psychiatry Defaults to Lifelong Medication00:11:35 Kundalini, Trauma Energy & Somatic Roots of Bipolar00:14:11 Which Book to Read First00:15:24 Breathwork, Distance Sessions & Trauma Release00:18:53 Meaning, Intuition & Sean's Multiverse Theory00:21:27 Closing Reflections on Healing & Awakeningbipolar disorder, mania, psychosis, spiritual emergency, kundalini awakening, trauma healing, somatic therapy, breathwork, transpersonal psychology, Stanislav Grof, mental health, bipolar healing, consciousness, subtle body, emotional release, awakening process, nervous system regulation, alternative mental health, spiritual awakening, bipolar awarenessCheckout more Sean here: https://www.bipolarawakenings.com/Grab his latest book: https://a.co/d/8UUU1rTand 'Am I Bi-Polar or Waking Up?': https://a.co/d/4qX7nR2Browse his 25k+ subscriber YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@bipolarawakeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bipolarawakeningsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Xz36ES0eiX2c4L4SyCJno?si=319134dba8e740d1
