EP297: Can I Trust Me to Show Up? In this episode, we take a close look at something we don't talk about enough: the quiet ways we drift from ourselves. We often pride ourselves on being reliable, supportive, and present for others—but what happens when we're not offering the same loyalty inward? This isn't about harsh self-criticism or impossible standards. It's about noticing the gap between what we say we want and what we actually follow through on when it comes to our own needs, boundaries, and truth. We explore why we tend to abandon ourselves in small ways and how that adds up over time—not because we're weak, but because we were taught to survive that way. This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about remembering how to listen, recommit, and rebuild the trust you've been craving from within. No drama. No shame. Just one small, self-honoring moment at a time. Three Takeaways: 1. There's a big difference between being dependable for others and being dependable for yourself. 2. The small moments where you follow through—or don't—have a bigger impact than you think. 3. Rebuilding self-trust doesn't require perfection, just consistent presence and gentle repair. Top of Form Bottom of Form Every small promise you keep to yourself matters. That's how the healing begins. Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here! If you're ready to find your voice, set healthy boundaries, and create more fulfilling relationships, this guide is your roadmap!

Burnout and trauma can feel like dead ends, but what if they're inflection points for growth? In this episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, I, Dr. Andrea Austin, share a deeply personal chapter from my book Revitalized, reflecting on my recovery from soul-level burnout during the pandemic.

The emotional challenges, the deep inner work, and the conscious choices I've had to make are all part of this path toward finding moments of peace and even joy. I share from the heart about how grief transforms as life moves forward, how healing doesn't mean forgetting, and why it's so important to honor your own unique process.

Licensed therapist and trauma specialist Laurel Roberts-Meese joins us for an enlightening exploration of how trauma rewires the brain and why understanding this process is pivotal for healing. We dissect the critical role of the amygdala in trapping individuals in survival mode during prolonged stress and discuss the often-overlooked concept of legal abuse in high-conflict relationships. Laurel shares her profound insights into effective trauma therapies, emphasizing a holistic approach that addresses both immediate and lingering responses to trauma for genuine recovery.Beyond the science, we tackle the metaphor of the "Friday night bomb" as we explore why professionals in high-intensity careers might be drawn to chaos due to their past experiences. This chapter unravels the myth of a linear healing timeline and introduces Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as a transformative tool for managing PTSD. Laurel highlights the importance of seeking professional help, comparing EMDR to medical interventions for physical injuries, to normalize and support those grappling with trauma's long-lasting effects.The conversation further uncovers the soothing power of bilateral movement and physical activity in trauma recovery, revealing how exercises like walking, kickboxing, and dancing can lift mental health by engaging both sides of the body. We emphasize the necessity of resourcing in EMDR therapy, laying a foundation of emotional safety before one begins processing trauma. With practical tips on reducing screen time for better sleep and creating mental calm spaces, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to holistic trauma management, promoting overall well-being for those on the path to healing.

Your mind says you're safe, but your body still feels tense, overwhelmed, and stuck in danger mode. Why does this happen? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie goes into the biology behind why mental and emotional healing doesn't always translate into physical healing. You'll learn how trauma gets “stuck” in your nervous system, why your body can keep sending danger signals even when your mind feels better, and practical ways to help your body feel safe enough to recover. Your nervous system works like a dashboard, constantly checking if you can handle what's happening or need to shut down. When it stays stuck in survival mode, even after therapy, it can cause chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. The good news is, you can help your body feel safe again and start to heal. In this episode, you'll find out more about: The difference between stress vs. trauma (and why it's not about the event itself!) Why your body creates a personal safety filter based on past experiences How inflammation, toxins, and hidden stressors send danger signals to your nervous system Why your body's natural healing shuts down when you're in survival mode Simple ways to track and shift your nervous system state every day Whether you're doing your own healing or supporting clients who still feel stuck physically despite mental progress, this episode reveals the missing piece of trauma recovery. You'll gain a clearer understanding of the body's signals and walk away with practical tools to help the body catch up with the mind.
Once paraded in the media as a hero, Dr. James Henry became the symbol of a “progressive” military—the first openly transgender active-duty officer. But the story the public saw was only part of the truth. In this episode, Dr. Henry shares what really happened behind the scenes. The early struggles with identity. The weight of religious shame. The celebration that came with transitioning—and the breakdown that followed. He opens up about being misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and failed by the very systems meant to protect him. Now, years later, Dr. Henry faces a federal indictment after a confrontation with the FBI. This is not a story of affirmation. It's a story of survival, betrayal, and the cost of speaking out.

He talks about the cultural pressure veterans face when seeking help, how “claim sharks” exploit those who've served, and how VMHA is disrupting the system by providing ethical, transparent, and high-quality mental health assessments.We also dig into the overlap of firearms, identity, and mental wellness, and why removing stigma is more important than ever.Whether you're a veteran, know someone who is, or simply care about building better systems for those who've served, this episode will challenge and inspire.

Nussbaum, Executive Director of One Family Fund, an incredible organization devoted to supporting victims of terror and their families in Israel. We dive deep into the personal and national heartbreaks experienced in the region—especially in light of recent events—and explore the unshakable resilience and hope that shape the Israeli people.

In this powerful episode of the Dead America Podcast, host Ed Watters sits down with Randy Pitkin, author of Restored, for a profoundly honest conversation about trauma, healing, and inner transformation. Randy opens up about his deeply painful childhood—marked by abuse, abandonment, and molestation—and how those early wounds shaped a path of rage, shame, and destructive behaviors. Through his story, we learn how moments of clarity and support empowered Randy to seek help, confront his past, and ultimately discover peace and wholeness. He shares how shifting spiritual beliefs, embracing vulnerability, and redefining identity played key roles in his healing journey. Randy's testimony is more than just a personal narrative—it's a beacon of hope for others grappling with unresolved trauma. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that no matter how broken we feel, restoration is possible. It's a must-listen for survivors, mental health advocates, and anyone who believes in the power of resilience. 00:00 Introduction to Randy Pitkin and His Book 'Restored' 01:07 Randy's Early Life and Family Background 01:44 Trauma and Abuse in Randy's Childhood 05:30 The Impact of Trauma on Randy's Adult Life 06:35 Finding Wholeness and Peace 08:19 Randy's Spiritual Journey 12:27 Reconciliation and Final Struggles 13:12 Encouragement and Advice for Others 17:26 Reflections on Family and Personal Growth 28:16 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
In this episode, we take a deeper look at the slow, often unnoticed ways we begin to disconnect from ourselves—especially when survival, acceptance, or love seemed to depend on it. Whether it started in childhood or in a past relationship, the moment you began second-guessing your gut or hiding your truth was likely a moment of self-protection. But over time, those small choices can add up to a life that doesn't quite feel like your own. We'll explore how shame, emotional detachment, and a need for approval can pull us away from our true voice—and what it means to gently start coming home to yourself. You'll be invited to reflect on your own turning points, not with judgment, but with curiosity and compassion. Because the goal isn't to blame yourself for how you've coped—it's to recognize that you now have the power to choose something different. Three Takeaways: 1. There are moments in your story that quietly shaped how you relate to yourself - and they're worth revisiting with fresh eyes. 2. What feels like a personality trait might actually be a survival pattern you no longer need. 3. Reconnection doesn't happen in a single breakthrough - it's a series of tiny, loyal choices to stop leaving yourself behind. Coming back to yourself isn't dramatic. It's in the quiet choice to stop abandoning yourself - even in the small moments. Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

In this episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings), chats with Lisa Amato, energy healer, reiki practitioner, and wounded healer of the highest order. Why the wounded healer part? Well, Rachel and Lisa both have a history of early childhood trauma, and this episode they dig into the hairy details-- but also focus on the redemptive power of transmuting said wound into its corresponding "medicine", both for the self and for others.Lisa is a hilarious, no nonsense ball-buster of a reiki practitioner, bringing the grounded presence so often lacking in the "airy fairy", "love and light", "crystal hippy lady" set. Said another way? She can actually hold the requisite space required to undertake the real deal energy healing work for those that have suffered trauma in their lives. Not all wounds can be seen. Many of them lie in our energy bodies. And, for those of us lucky enough to have found our own healers and teachers that enabled us to step into this work for others, Lisa's story will resonate like hell.Please note: TOTEM is running a Review Raffle through 6/26/25, so if you feel compelled to review The Skeptical Shaman podcast, TOTEM Readings, TOTEM Flower Essences, or either of the TOTEM Decks (links below), email her a screenshot to enter to win one of three Grand Prizes: rachel@totemreadings.com.

Tyler Grey grew up struggling in the rough town of Bakersfield, California. The military seemed like the perfect answer...a way out of his difficult situation, and an outlet to help him protect others. The chance to be one of the good guys. After serving with the Army Rangers and the elite Delta Force, a battlefield injury resulted in his exit from the front and a new beginning as an actor, director, producer and writer, having appeared in films such as DC's Suicide Squad for director David Ayer, and as a recurring star on CBS' hit action series Seal Team. He joins the program to discuss his new book, Forged in Chaos: A Warrior's Origin Story, and shares his observations on his own past and those he met along his journey.
