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.

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.

In this episode, we dive into the real world of hypnotherapy — far from stage tricks or swinging watches, and back to its ancient roots in the healing temples of Egypt and Greece. Modern hypnotherapy, shaped by Mesmer, Braid and Erickson, blends psychology, neuroscience and the art of working safely with the subconscious.Hypnotherapy isn't about losing control — it's about reclaiming it.By guiding us into a natural, focused state of awareness, it opens the doorway to the subconscious, where trauma imprints, fear patterns and old conditioning often live. From here, gentle suggestion, imagery and deep relaxation help the brain form new pathways, release old stories and restore emotional freedom.We explore:What hypnotherapy truly is (and isn't)How it supports trauma healingWhy the subconscious is key to lasting changeThe science of re-patterning protective responsesReconnecting with the original, authentic self beneath conditioningThis conversation is about integration, nervous system repair and reshaping your life from truth, not trauma.BA Psych, Dip LS HypLucas Olmos is a trauma-informed Clinical Hypnotherapist and co-founder of Awakening Purpose, where he helps clients across the world release subconscious imprints, rewire protective patterns and return to who they really are.Links:Website: https://awakeningpurpose.com.au/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@awakening_purposeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/awakening_purpose?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Guest: Lucas Olmos

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.

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.

Send us a textIn this special mental health episode of The Day's Grimm, hosts Brian Michael Day and Thomas Grimm welcome back Licensed Clinical Social Worker Lori Riley of Blue Skies Mindfulness to take a deep dive into EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy! Brian shares his personal journey of finally committing to therapy and his initial, intense experience with the first stages of EMDR, including the crucial process of building a mental "safe space".Lori Riley, LCSW, breaks down everything you need to know about this powerful trauma treatment modality:What is EMDR? 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.

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

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Arlina Allen — addiction expert, host of the top 1%-ranked The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast, and bestselling author of The 12 Step Guide for Skeptics. With 31 years of sobriety, Arlina opens up about the inner battles, limiting beliefs, and formative traumas that shaped her early life and fueled her dependence on alcohol. She shares the moment of clarity that changed everything the morning after her 25th birthday, and how choosing sobriety became the doorway to self-awareness, compassion, and true freedom. Together, Arlina and Mike "C-Roc" explore the illusions of control, the role of faith, the physiology of anxiety and alcohol, and what it really means to surrender and allow healing to happen. Arlina's vulnerability and wisdom illuminate a path for anyone seeking relief from pain, purpose beyond coping, and a life built on truth rather than survival. This is a conversation about grace, responsibility, and the courage to see yourself clearly — and the freedom that follows.Website-https://www.arlinaallen.comhttps://www.instagram.com/arlinaallen/

In this deeply moving episode of Linking Arms, host Nadine Dyer sits down with biblical counselor, speaker, and newly published author Jill Wamsley for a raw and redemptive conversation. Jill opens up about her childhood marked by trauma, her early adult years as a single mom, and how a chance encounter on a plane with Nadine led to a God-ordained friendship—and this powerful episode. Together, they explore how Jill's life was transformed by Christ as she slowly discovered her voice, her value, and her unshakeable worth as a daughter of God. Jill shares her story of being shaped by rejection and striving, blending in to belong, and how she broke free from the cookie-cutter version of herself to embrace the woman God uniquely created her to be. Her message is a timely reminder that your identity is sealed in Christ—100% loved, 100% worthy, and never up for debate. Listeners will be challenged to examine their own hearts and consider the cost of missing out on the woman God designed them to be. Whether you're walking through heartache, hiding your brokenness, or striving to belong, Jill's story offers hope, healing, and a call to step into your true identity in Christ. About Jill Wamsley Jill has been a member at College Park Church in Indianapolis, Indiana for over 27 years and in 2023 joined the counseling team at Summit Church-University Campus in Fort Myers, Florida.

Angela Lerro's journey from near-death at 89 pounds to vibrant health challenges everything the spiritual community believes about diet. After breast cancer at 28, mysterious autoimmune conditions, and years of declining health on a plant-based diet, this energy worker made a radical decision that saved her life: eating only meat.In this raw conversation, Angela shares how undiagnosed Lyme disease nearly killed her, why her intuitive gifts were making her sick, and how she combined carnivore nutrition with energy healing to create what she calls "miracles" in her practice. Her story exposes the dangerous disconnect between spiritual wellness culture and human biology.From fainting 15 times daily to training her German Shepherd as a service dog, Angela's medical odyssey reveals how emotional trauma stores in the body and why proper nutrition is essential for spiritual work. She explains her unique approach to energy healing that works with clients worldwide, how meat consumption improved her psychic abilities, and why she believes the spiritual community's obsession with veganism is harming practitioners.This isn't your typical wellness story. It's a compelling case for why healing requires addressing mind, body, and spirit simultaneously - and why that might mean eating in ways that contradict popular spiritual teachings.BIG IDEAWhen the student's ready, the teacher appears - and sometimes that teacher is your own body demanding you question everything you've been taught about healing.Angela Lerro Contact InfoWebsite: https://meatbasedmedium.com/Instagram: MeatBasedMediumTikTok: MeatBasedMediumFacebook: AngelaChristineemail: meatbasedmedium@gmail.comBook References for the Skeptics: “The Holographic Universe” by Michael Talbot“You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise HaySend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

"Trauma can be a gateway for transformation, and it's one of the things that I am passionate about." – Abi Blakeslee On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth sits down with Dr. Abi Blakeslee, a leader in the field of trauma recovery and somatic psychology recognized for her clinical research and teaching. Dr. Blakeslee shares her deep exploration of implicit memory—the non-conscious processes shaping movement, emotion, and survival patterns—and explains how harnessing implicit memory offers new and practical pathways to healing trauma. Drawing from Somatic Experiencing, neuroscience, and her own research, Dr. Blakeslee breaks down the branches of implicit memory—procedural, priming, associative, and more—and clarifies their relevance in trauma and recovery. The conversation explores how clinicians can support present-moment, embodied "new learning" that rewires automatic responses and fosters positive transformation. Listeners will hear practical strategies to increase clients' interoceptive awareness, cultivate self-compassion, and repair ruptures through embodied, relational experiences. Dr. Blakeslee emphasizes the importance of helping clients reconnect with their essential self, shifting the focus from merely resolving the past to building new implicit memories of agency, connection, and vitality. Together they discuss the flexibility of integrating these neurobiological insights into diverse modalities—including Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic Therapy, and beyond—to deepen agency and nurture post-traumatic growth, especially in cases of developmental and complex trauma. Throughout, Dr. Blakeslee underscores the healing power of gentle attention, relational attunement, and compassion—offering a hopeful framework for practitioners and clients alike.

Ever find yourself thinking: “I should be further along by now”? Our society is so OBSESSED with finishing things… what if strength lives in what's still taking shape?I've been taking an adult learning programme on resilience at my old university, University College Cork,  and spending more time in my friend Juli's clay studio. There, I noticed: the clay pieces I tried to make perfect felt lifeless. The ones with flaws felt alive. This naturally led me back into the world of Wabi‑sabi — the Japanese aesthetic of imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness — and how it mirrors resilience. In this episode, I walk you through:The cultural myth of “completion” and why we still chase itHow wabi-sabi challenges that mythWhat resilience really is — and how it shows up in softness not hardnessA short practice you can use this week to lean into being unfinishedIf you felt even a flicker of recognition in this episode, share it with someone who might need a reminder that perfection isn't the point — being alive is.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Andrew Huberman has been front and center in the neuroscience and wellness spheres with both academic rigor and broad public reach. The most notable headline is the November 6 release of his Huberman Lab Essentials episode called “Erasing Fears and Traumas Using Modern Neuroscience,” where Huberman dives into how deliberate daily practices—like five minutes of cyclic hyperventilation—can rewire the brain's fear responses. He breaks down the neural circuits involved, citing the amygdala and dopamine systems, and offers evidence-based strategies such as prolonged exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and even discusses the cutting edge use of ketamine and MDMA for PTSD. The episode quickly climbed the podcast and YouTube ranks, reflecting significant engagement and concrete potential for impact in clinical and lifestyle settings.On the business front, Huberman continues to steer his expanding empire across media, science, and health optimization. His podcast remains the number one health and fitness show on Apple and Spotify, frequently featured in best-of charts. Recent social media posts on Instagram and X highlight his protocols for sleep, stress management, and metabolic health, drawing thousands of likes and repeated enthusiastic comments lauding his ability to make science accessible and actionable. Subscribers to his newsletter, now nearing one million, received exclusive insights this week including what's dubbed the “Daily Blueprint”—detailing Huberman's own routine with practical steps for productivity and wellbeing.Meanwhile, his new book “Protocols” remains highly anticipated in pre-order status, billed as a definitive guide for improving brain function and overall health through habits and biochemical interventions. In industry news, ABC World News Tonight covered Huberman's appearance to discuss “10 Habits You Must Improve Every Day to Rewire Your Brain,” bringing his science-backed advice to a mainstream television audience. This appearance has further elevated his pop culture status as a go-to authority on optimizing mental performance and resilience.Within academic circles, Huberman is referenced in discussions alongside Dr. David Sinclair on the topic of slowing aging, with his perspectives on neural plasticity and longevity gaining ground in medical and scientific media outlets. While his recent stance on drug repurposing for neurological and immune conditions was spotlighted via collaboration with Dr. David Fajgenbaum, this continues a trend of merging clinical discovery with public education and advocacy.Rumors have circulated about upcoming public appearances, potentially including a keynote at a major veterans' mental health gala next week, though this is not yet confirmed and should be treated as speculation. There has been no verified controversy or negative press in the last few days, and feedback remains overwhelmingly positive. In short, the biographical stakes for Huberman have only grown—his accessibility, practical expertise, and ever-expanding audience reinforce his status as a primary architect at the intersection of neuroscience and everyday life.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified dance/movement therapist Erica Hornthal (“The Therapist Who Moves You”) joins Aaron to explain how changing the way we move changes the way we feel. Recorded on November 3, 2025, the conversation grounds movement therapy in the realities of Chicagoland life: financial pressure, screen-driven immobility, community trauma in Highland Park, and heightened anxiety around recent ICE activity across the North Shore. Erica shares practical, accessible ways to regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and communicate nonverbally when words are not enough.Key TakeawaysMovement is already part of therapy: posture shifts, breathing, pacing, and small gestures can be therapeutic starting points.We have “out-evolved” our natural instinct to move; immobility amplifies anxiety.Stressors show up differently across communities. Whether it is public-safety trauma or fear tied to immigration enforcement, the body stores that stress.You can change your state by changing your movement, even with simple, seated interventions.Nonverbal work helps couples and families de-escalate conflict and build empathy.Parents can meet kids' energy with movement rather than suppression, then teach time-and-place skills.Research supports dance and movement as effective for anxiety and depression; therapy fit and relationship still matter most.Practical access: look for “somatic,” “body-oriented,” or “creative arts therapy” in your area; insurance coverage depends on the clinician's license.Timestamps00:00 Intro to Erica and dance/movement therapy02:00 What movement therapy looks like in practice04:50 Why Erica wrote “BodyTalk” and how readers use it08:15 Why we feel so stressed today, and how immobility feeds anxiety10:45 Local context: Highland Park trauma and recent ICE activity on the North Shore12:30 Changing movement to change mood and cognition15:15 Treating the “snake bite” before debating the “why”16:00 Individual vs group work, and what movement builds between people17:35 Getting over discomfort and starting small20:40 A simple intervention: washing hands slowly to interrupt anxiety22:20 Working across ages: from 3 to 10726:15 Coaching kids and meeting their movement needs31:30 Nonverbal communication in relationships and negotiations35:00 “Embodied listening” and the limits of AI for mental health39:30 Walks, showers, and why ideas arrive during movement42:00 Using your body as a free mental health resource43:00 Finding somatic or creative arts therapists and dealing with insurance46:45 What the research says about dance, anxiety, and depression49:00 Where to find Erica and her books50:00 ClosingPractical Exercises MentionedSeated reset: notice shoulders, jaw, feet; slow your breath and lengthen exhale.Pattern interrupt: pick one daily action and do it slowly for 20 seconds (example: handwashing) to downshift intensity.Conflict pause: step outside or to separate corners, walk, then reconvene.With kids: “shake out the wiggles,” go outside for 60 seconds, then return.GuestErica Hornthal, LCPC, BC-DMTFounder and CEO, Chicago Dance TherapyAuthor of BodyTalk, Body Aware, and The Movement Therapy DeckWebsite: https://www.ericahornthal.comPractice: https://www.chicagodancetherapy.comInstagram: @thetherapistwhomovesyouEmail: erica@hornthal.comResources MentionedBodyTalk: 365 Gentle Practices to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your BodyBody AwareThe Movement Therapy DeckSearch terms for local care: “somatic therapy,” “body-oriented therapy,” “creative arts therapy,” “dance movement therapy,” plus your city.For Listeners in ChicagolandIf anxiety has spiked for you or your family due to recent events in the region, consider brief, daily movement check-ins.

Joining me this week is Jessica Baum, licensed mental health counselor, relationship expert, and author of the new book SAFE: Coming Home to Yourself and Others. Together we explore: - How insecure attachment patterns form in childhood and continue to shape how we show up as adults and parents. - Why parents with a history of insecure attachment may find themselves more easily triggered by their children. - The difference between awareness and healing, and why insight alone isn't enough to create real change. - How to repair attachment wounds by learning to regulate your own nervous system. - What the "Wheel of Attachment" reveals about the fluid, nuanced nature of our attachment patterns. - How doing your own inner work can transform not just your relationships, but the emotional security you pass down to your kids. If you've ever wondered why you react the way you do or how to stop repeating painful relational cycles, this conversation will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and give you hope that true, lasting healing is possible.
