For many families, going home from the hospital feels like the finish line. But what happens when the emotional impact of a medical experience lingers long after discharge? On this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital, Katie Taylor sits down with Jen Aspengren, founder of Alongside Network, to discuss pediatric medical traumatic stress (PMTS), a common yet often overlooked experience that affects children, parents, siblings, and caregivers following serious medical events. Jen shares her family's journey after her infant son underwent life-saving airway surgery at just seven months old. While his physical recovery went well, the emotional effects lasted for years, leading Jen to discover a significant gap in support for families navigating life after hospitalization. Together, Katie and Jen explore: Jen's son's diagnosis of congenital subglottic stenosis and emergency airway surgery The unexpected emotional toll that followed after returning home What pediatric medical traumatic stress (PMTS) is and how it affects the entire family Common signs of traumatic stress in children, parents, and caregivers Why many families feel isolated after discharge despite receiving excellent medical care The importance of validation, community, and coping skills during recovery How small moments of connection from healthcare providers can build trust and resilience The impact of emotional support on long-term health outcomes and medical adherence How Alongside Network is helping families and healthcare providers better navigate medical trauma Jen also shares practical insights for healthcare professionals, highlighting how simple actions—such as a follow-up phone call or a few moments of acknowledgment—can make a lasting difference for families facing difficult diagnoses and hospitalizations. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't end when a child leaves the hospital. Supporting the emotional well-being of children, parents, and caregivers is an essential part of recovery.

Dr. T flies solo in this episode and hosts guest Otto Maier in a discussion on psychedelic therapy through depth psychology and lived experience. Otto describes his early work with ayahuasca and a pivotal, overwhelming initiation with 5 MeO DMT that led to a prolonged spiritual and psychological crisis. Instead of framing the experience as positive or negative, though, he emphasizes the meaning it held for him. It taught him, among other things, the importance of preparation, appropriate dosing, and trauma-informed facilitation. Dr. T and Otto unpack psychedelic healing within a harm reduction framework while challenging simplified narratives often found in the field. The discussion examines the tension between clinical models that prioritize symptom reduction and a soul-oriented approach to healing. Otto draws on Jungian psychology and archetypal theory to describe how psychedelic experiences can unfold as nonlinear processes that disrupt identity and access deeper layers of the psyche. Dr. T and Otto suggest that meaningful transformation may include disorientation and existential questioning, rather than immediate improvement, which points to limitations in current research practices. Together, they also explore the cultural divide between Western models of control and more relational, animistic perspectives. Psychedelic work is framed as an invitation to engage with uncertainty, embodiment, and the unconscious, countering the dominant concepts of cognition and productivity. The episode advocates for an integrated approach of both scientific rigor and soul-based inquiry, emphasizing ethical responsibility and the complexity of medicine-assisted healing. “I think that the soul work is something that gets us in touch with the nature of our being. And I think it includes a bit of mystery.”  - Otto Maier __ Contact Punk Therapy: Patreon: Patreon.com/PunkTherapy Website: PunkTherapy.com Email: info@punktherapy.com   Contact Truth Fairy:  Email: Truth@PunkTherapy.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What is cultural distress? It is a negative response rooted in a cultural conflict where the patient lacks control over their situation. It results in more physiologic effects on the body resulting in allostatic overload. To prevent this, healthcare practitioners must use strategies such as cultural humility to help patients navigate healthcare. Come find the best ways to deliver culturally sensitive care in any setting.

In this episode, we are talking with professionals who work with children in Collier County. When children have been traumatized, these professionals help to shield them from further trauma.

Are you truly practicing trauma-informed care… or just assuming you are?Because there's a big difference.And most of us were never actually trained in it.In this episode, Nicole sits down with pelvic PT, researcher, and educator Krystyna Holland to break down what trauma-informed care really looks like—and where our field is still falling short.And this conversation goes deeper than you expect.We're not just talking about being empathetic or “good with patients.”We're talking about:

What does it look like to step into hard places—and stay?In this powerful conversation, Tracy Daugherty sits down with Freedom Sister Wheeler Fisher, who has spent nearly a decade walking alongside women impacted by trafficking. From her early days in Kansas to frontline work with survivors in San Diego, Wheeler shares what advocacy really looks like behind the scenes—both the heartbreak and the hope.You'll hear how one encounter changed everything, why choosing to “show up for the one” matters more than fixing everything, and how healing can look slow, messy, and deeply beautiful.This episode also offers practical encouragement for anyone engaging in this space—how to stay tender, care for your soul, and continue showing up without becoming overwhelmed or numb.You don't have to solve everything, but you can still make a difference.------My Challenge: https://givebutter.com/hessemychallenge26------Watch the episode: https://youtu.be/QPM_jC87xGk ------Want to learn more? The Freedom Challenge US: thefreedomchallenge.comOperation Mobilization USA: omusa.orgInstagram: @freedomchallengeusa / Facebook: @thefcusaSupport the show

In this podcast, host and Flourish Agenda's Executive Director Chris Nguon presents a reread of Dr. Shawn Ginwright's influential essay on the transition from trauma-informed care to healing centered engagement. The text argues that traditional models often focus too narrowly on individual pathologies and past injuries, effectively defining young people by the worst things they have endured. Instead, the healing centered approach promotes a holistic, asset-driven framework that emphasizes collective well-being, cultural identity, and political agency. By addressing the root causes of harm and fostering the ability to dream and imagine, this perspective empowers both youth and adult providers to move toward flourishing rather than just symptom management. Ultimately, the source advocates for a humanistic shift that views individuals as active agents in their own restoration rather than mere victims of their circumstances.

In this episode, I talk with Scot McKnight and Adrienne Gibson about their new book Traumatized Church, and what it looks like to read Paul, and our congregations, through a trauma-informed lens. We explore what trauma actually is, how it lives in the body, and why so many people are being quietly re-traumatized in the very communities meant to heal them. The conversation moves between Paul's raw letter in 2 Corinthians and the practical work of building churches that are safe, full of mutuality, and honest about the pain in the room.Scot McKnight (PhD, Nottingham) has been a Professor of New Testament for more than four decades. He is the author of more than ninety books, including the award-winning The Jesus Creed as well as The King Jesus Gospel, A Fellowship of Differents, One.Life, The Blue Parakeet, Revelation for the Rest of Us, and Kingdom Conspiracy.Adrienne Gibson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC), clinical supervisor for the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (AZBBHE), and the owner of Valor Counseling. She has been licensed for over two decades, working with children, families, and adults, and has served as a clinical supervisor and clinical director for two large community based mental health agencies in Arizona and Oregon. She has master's degrees in counseling and New Testament. She regularly speaks on the topic of trauma and healing and consults with denominations on implementing trauma-informed care practices.Scot & Adrienne's Book:Traumatized ChurchScot's Recommendation:Complicity in the HolocaustAdrienne's Recommendation:The Boy Who Was Raised As a DogConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Send us Fan MailMedical care can be doing everything “right” and you can still feel wrecked, anxious, and trapped in a never-ending cycle of symptoms, appointments, and fear. That gap is where GI psychology lives, and it's why we wanted Dr. Anna Katherine “AK” Black. AK is a licensed clinical health psychologist at GI Psychology, with a focus on gut-brain therapies, trauma-informed care, and medical fatigue in chronic illness.We get into what clinical hypnosis actually is (no stage tricks, no mind control) and why gut-directed hypnotherapy has decades of research behind it for GI conditions. AK explains the gut-brain connection in plain language, including how stress can hijack the system, how visceral hypersensitivity turns the volume up on sensations, and why you can't just tell your gut to “calm down” with conscious thoughts alone. We also talk about how fear and pain overlap, and why techniques that shift the nervous system toward parasympathetic regulation can change real physical symptoms.Then we name the thing so many people feel but rarely hear described: medical fatigue. If you've ever canceled yet another appointment, struggled to keep up with meds and procedures, or felt judged as “noncompliant,” this conversation puts words to that burnout and offers practical next steps. We also cover trauma-informed care, what providers can do with better language and screening, and why integrated teams work best. AK shares resources and explains the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation partnership group that combines community with skills like CBT and hypnosis.Subscribe for more real talk about living with IBD, share this with someone who needs it, and please leave a rating and review so more people can find the show.

Join the dialogue - text your questions, insights, and feedback to The Dignity Lab podcast.In this conversation on The Dignity Lab, guest host and neonatologist Dr. Staci Olister brings together trauma-informed care expert Mary Coughlin and host Dr. Jennifer Griggs to explore how trauma and dignity are deeply intertwined in healthcare and beyond. They trace the evolution of trauma from a narrow focus on physical injury to a broader, lived experience that overwhelms a person's capacity to cope. They define dignity as our inherent, unearned worth—no more and no less than anyone else's—and extend this to organizations, non-human animals, and the Earth itself.Dignity violations—exclusion, humiliation, lack of safety, medical gaslighting, and structural injustice—are at the root of much of the trauma experienced by patients and clinicians. Mary describes how we can “build the buffering” for people in overwhelming situations, rather than only “summing up the suffering.” Jennifer offers a pathway for reclaiming dignity: naming a dignity violation, affirming a person's worth, seeking accountability and repair where possible, and shifting from “me” (the one to whom something happened) to “I” (the agent/creator) and ultimately to “Thou,” seeing the sacred dignity in others, including those who have harmed us.They also address shame as an emotion that thrives in silence and secrecy. They examine how dehumanizing language, hierarchical culture, business models of productivity, and electronic health records can undermine trauma-informed, dignity-centered care. The episode closes with an invitation to join Mary and Jennifer for an immersive, trauma-informed, dignity-centered retreat in Ireland, focused on embodied leadership, radical listening, reflective writing, and nervous system regulation.TakeawaysTrauma is a lived experience that touches body, mind, spirit, and communityDignity is our inherent, unearned worth, extending to humans, organizations, and the EarthTrauma and dignity violations are interwoven in healthcare and beyondTrauma-informed care principles are practical ways to enact dignity in everyday practiceShame and secrecy fuel systemic disconnection in healthcare culturesPatients, families, and clinicians are routinely exposed to everyday dignity violationsWe reclaim dignity by naming harm, affirming worth, and seeking accountability and repairHealing involves shifting from “me” to “I” to “Thou” in our stories and leadershipDehumanizing language, business models, and electronic recorExploring what it means to live and lead with dignity at work, in our families, in our communities, and in the world.

When someone is admitted to hospital for a mental health crisis, families are often told: “We can’t share patient information.” But is privacy legislation really the barrier it’s made out to be? In this episode of Look Again: Mental Illness Re-examined, we explore the tension between confidentiality and family involvement in care, and why culture, not the law, may be keeping loved ones in the dark. Host Faydra Aldridge is joined by Monica, a parent who shares her lived experience navigating the system, and psychiatrist Dr. Richard O’Reilly, who unpacks what Canadian privacy laws actually allow, and why they’re so often misunderstood. It’s a candid conversation about advocacy, accountability, and the vital role families can play in recovery.Timecodes:(01:05) Legal representation and challenges accessing medical information(02:40) Resilience, compassion, and vulnerability during mental illness(04:01) Being excluded from care during early hospitalizations(06:44) Gaps in medical records and sharing collateral information(08:10) Limits of Section 9 and Section 7 representation agreements(10:00) Family’s role in preventing adverse medication reactions(12:27) Anosognosia and early intervention challenges(14:04) Capacity assessment issues in Section 9 agreements(16:23) Recommendations for improving the mental health system(18:16) Experiences of involuntary hospitalization and need for support(21:47) Gaps between families and care teams(23:18) Expert explains privacy laws and clinician practices(29:42) Family involvement improves patient outcomes(30:11) Solutions: training, program inclusion, and fighting stigmaResources:- Full video from FASMI and Dr O'Rielly See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For years in ABA, success was often measured in hours, more sessions, more billing, more time. But our field is shifting. In this episode, we unpack what value-based care really means and why it is not a new trend, but a return to good ABA. We explore how focusing on meaningful, socially significant outcomes, rather than checking boxes on assessments, can transform the way we write goals, make clinical decisions, and measure progress.We share real examples of how values guide programming, from preparing for life events to prioritizing skills that truly impact family life. We also reflect on what COVID taught us about functional goals and generalization. Ultimately, we challenge ourselves to ask: If therapy ended tomorrow, which skills would truly matter?Value-based care is not a specific teaching strategy. It is a decision-making lens. When we prioritize dignity, assent, autonomy, and long-term quality of life, we ensure our work creates outcomes that last.What's Inside:What value-based care actually means in everyday ABA practiceHow to select goals that prioritize quality of life and long-term outcomesWhy generalization and social validity define meaningful progressMentioned in This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

There is a common rhetorical move in contemporary trauma-informed care conversations that sounds compassionate on the surface but is deeply reductionistic underneath. It frames care in terms of a binary: instead of asking, “What is wrong with you?” we should ask, “What has happened to you?” That contrast is often presented as enlightened and humane. The first question is portrayed as accusatory, shaming, harsh. The second is portrayed as empathetic, validating, and safe. That binary is not only simplistic; it is misleading.

Painful sex is far more common than most women realize and far more complex than we're ever taught.In this episode, Dr. Leah shares her deeply personal 18-year journey with painful sex, low libido, and feeling dismissed by the medical system, alongside a comprehensive breakdown of the real root causes of pain during sex, from trauma and pelvic floor dysfunction to hormonal changes and lesser-known conditions like provoked vestibulodynia (PVD).We talk honestly about why painful sex is not something you should “just push through,” why many conventional treatments miss the mark, and how healing often requires addressing multiple layers at once: physical, neurological, hormonal, and emotional.If sex has ever felt painful, burning, tense, or emotionally complicated, or if you've been told everything “looks normal” but something still feels wrong, this conversation is for you.Painful sex is not a personal failure, a relationship problem, or something you should tolerate. It's often a signal, and when you understand the signal, healing becomes possible.Content NoteThis episode includes discussion of sexual trauma, medical trauma, and chronic pain.
