If you've been dealing with **histamine intolerance, MCAS, or unexplained sensitivities**, you already know that avoiding high-histamine foods and taking antihistamines isn't a real solution. True healing requires **going deeper**—into the nervous system, immune response, chronic infections, and past trauma. In this episode, I break down my **6-layer approach** to healing histamine intolerance and MCAS at the root: ✅ **Chronic Infections & Immune Dysregulation** – Addressing stealth pathogens, mold, parasites, and biofilms that keep your immune system on high alert. ✅ **Felt Danger Response & Nervous System Dysregulation** – How chronic stress, trauma, and an overactive fight-or-flight system drive histamine flares. ✅ **Organ Stagnation & Detox Pathways** – Liver, gallbladder, and gut imbalances that prevent histamine from being properly processed. ✅ **Hormone & Nutrient Imbalances** – The role of estrogen dominance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and missing cofactors in histamine overload. ✅ **Chronic Stress & Trauma** – How past emotional wounds, nervous system dysregulation, and subconscious patterns contribute to MCAS. ✅ **Attachment Wounds & Emotional Regulation** – Exploring how early attachment patterns shape our ability to self-soothe and regulate immune responses. We're also diving deep into **supplements, peptides, immune modulation techniques, neurotransmitter balancing, trauma healing, self-soothing strategies, flare support, and more.** If you're ready to take control of your healing, check out my **$25 ebook**, where I go even deeper into these layers, and my **$33 masterclass**, which gives you an actionable plan for rebuilding your health. **Get them here:** https://thehealerrevolution.practicebetter.io/#/61edf7263980330eec3a0490/bookingsListen now to start understanding your body on a deeper level.

Episode Overview:In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Hebe Dickins, a somatic therapist, energy psychologist, and yoga and meditation teacher. Hebe's journey started in the world of acting, but her deep curiosity about the mind-body connection led her into the fields of trauma healing, energy psychology, and somatic therapy.We dive deep into what trauma really is, how it can show up in our lives (often without us realizing it), and the power of the body in processing and healing emotional wounds. Whether you've explored somatic work before or are just hearing about it for the first time, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the ways trauma can manifest and how we can reconnect with ourselves through the body.What We Discuss:What trauma really is and how it affects the nervous systemThe difference between “talk therapy” and somatic therapyWhy so many people feel “stuck” and how trauma can be at the root of itThe body's role in storing and processing traumaHow trauma can impact relationships, intimacy, and self-worthWays to tell if you're embodied or disconnected from your bodyPractical steps to start reconnecting with your body and emotionsThe importance of honoring our nervous system's capacity and not pushing beyond our limitsHow Hebe's own journey with trauma healing has shaped her work todayHow to Know if Trauma is Affecting YouHebe shares some key signs that you might be carrying unresolved trauma in your body:You feel stuck in life, unable to move forward despite wanting to.You experience chronic stress, fatigue, or a feeling of "shutting down".You tend to be in a constant state of hypervigilance or overthinking.You struggle with intimacy, emotional numbness, or disconnection from loved ones.You feel like you're always on autopilot, disconnected from your emotions or physical sensations.If any of these resonate with you, Hebe offers insight into gentle, body-based healing approaches that can help.How to Start Reconnecting with Your Body:Pay attention to your body signals. Start noticing when you feel tension, numbness, or ease.Engage in body-based practices. This could be as simple as stretching, yoga, dance, or breathwork.Ask yourself, "What's great about this that I'm not getting?" This question can shift your perspective when facing challenges.Slow down and practice self-compassion. Your body is always working for you—listen to what it's trying to say.Resources & How to Connect with Hebe:Hebe's Website: AliveUK.co.ukFinal Thoughts:This conversation with Hebe was rich, insightful, and deeply grounding. If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, struggled with unprocessed emotions, or wanted a deeper understanding of trauma and healing, this episode is for you.I hope you take something valuable from it and, most importantly, give yourself the grace to explore your own journey at your own pace. Until next time!

Emotional health is deeply intertwined in an ongoing journey with spiritual health. This involves opening to our pain, grieving our trauma, and patiently cultivating a resilience that stabilizes and secures our relationships and our sense of self.With compassion, pastoral presence, and emotional attunement, psychologist Dr. David Wang is using psychological and theological tools to help us understand and adapt to emotional realities, explore the wounds of our past, and find healing and strength through acceptance and grief.In this conversation with David Wang, we discuss:The difference between human development and spiritual formation and how to understand maturityThe centrality of relationships in human life and growth, and how that's grounded in divine relationality and our communion with GodHow to become friends with ourselves, offering self-compassion and being moved by our own sufferingThe impact of childhood trauma on adult emotional, psychological, and spiritual healthAnd finally, how a practice of grief can help us understand and work through traumatic experiences and move toward healing.Show NotesChristian theology and formationA philosophical approach to theologically informed strategies for transformation and growthHow the relational aspects of God ground an approach to therapy and spiritual formationWhat are the markers of maturity?Relatedness and connection to others facilitates the process of human growth and developmentEmotional building blocks and relational capacities for maturityDave Wang on spiritual health and thrivingTheological and psychological frameworks of thrivingHolding the beautiful beside the brokenBecoming friends with ourselvesShow compassion, be moved by our own suffering, and accept limitations as we strive toward the hard work we're all called to.Two paradoxical needs to achieve spiritual maturity and healthWe are made for relationships, but we also need independenceBalanceSpiritual and emotional maturityFormation through practice, education, and healthy developmentCan virtue be taught?Can maturity be educated?Can we learn to thrive and be spiritually healthy?In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, Dr. Gabor Maté writes that “The attempt to escape from pain is what creates more pain.”When our brains and our bodies go into survival modeAvoidance as a coping mechanism or strategyChildhood trauma in childhood“When the psychic pain is so unbearable, the felt threat so intimidating, we mentally and emotionally try to escape.”Childhood trauma can reemerge in adult behaviors, relationships, habits, language, even physical illness or conditions.Do I have trauma that I haven't dealt with?The symptoms or signs of traumaHow to approach the process of seeking help and healing.Concrete practices that can help and heal traumatic experienceLearning to grieveChristian spiritual practices of prayerThe emotional practice of grief and acceptanceDr. Pam King's Key TakeawaysHuman beings need both relationships and independence. And learning how to balance and integrate them is a marker of our maturity.Though we may try to escape from pain, to deal with trauma we need to practice acceptance and grief. It's a difficult and complex relational process that brings us closer to healing and wholeness.We can befriend ourselves in our pain through a practice of self-compassion.In this life, we have to hold beauty beside brokenness. Cultivating the capacity to do so is the hard work of growth into spiritual and emotional maturity, and the joyful journey of thriving.www.drdavidcwang.comhttps://www.seminaryformationproject.com/About David WangDr. David Wang is a licensed psychologist and Associate Professor of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he's also the Cliff and Joyce Penner Chair for the Formation of Emotionally Healthy Leaders and scholar in residence at Fuller's Center for Spiritual Formation.

If you are feeling tested, come here to find some peace. After working our way through a season of tests and triggers, we know the feeling that remains is often complex, tumultuous, and tough to navigate. This episode offers some somatic tools, regulation techniques, and a dose of realness you might be craving to remind you that you're not alone, you're not a bad person, and you're not being punished.  In this episode, Lacy, Jessica, and Janelle dive into the deep connection between creating spaces for safety and authentic magnetism. They discuss how the process of stripping away what no longer serves us—whether consciously or unconsciously—creates space for true alignment.

The Aftermath of Trauma | How to Celebrate Your Survival Story & Make the Choice Not to be a Victim While we rarely had a say in the cases where we've been victimized, how we respond, is always our choice. It's a significant and an instrumental choice. We can choose the narrative by which we share the situations and circumstances we survived. Emphasis on survived. Many people have long since moved on in all intents and purposes, except for the ways the think about and communicate those situations. Many who have been battling with bitterness and resentment for years... Never realizing that creating space for that kind of negative energy, doesn't help you heal, and ultimately limits your capacity to grow. So what path to take? I hope you make the choice to celebrate your survival story. Do you have any questions?

EP 129 - Tracy Schreifels, Healing Prenatal TraumasThe thinking for infants and mental health had always been that they were too young to remember any potentially traumatic events.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 686 How can emotional triggers act as teachers, guiding you toward self-mastery? Mark Groves joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 686, to share why emotional trauma is an initiation into personal growth, how unresolved wounds shape relationships and behavior, and why healing involves setting boundaries and building emotional resilience for healthier connections. "Behind every trigger is an opportunity for mastery. When you are triggered, there's an opportunity for you to learn a skill set, but also expand your capacity to hold the trigger because there's information there." - Mark Groves  

A number of years ago during one of our Michigan winters, our kids had a snow day off of school. What should have been a fun memory for our daughter became really scary since she suffered a sledding accident that put her in the hospital. She went through surgery and weeks at home in a wheelchair. To make matters worse, when she finally returned to school she was pushed out of her friend group by a bully who made the rest of her school year lonely and miserable.For a time, these things affected her deeply until she healed and regained her strength. Yet for many children, traumatic events go beyond a single, difficult crisis. When kids experience ongoing abuse, neglect, and risk of harm, the effects can last for life. It's no secret that traumatic events can have a profound impact on our kids' lives.

Suppose you polled therapists and asked them what the most controversial diagnosis is in the current version of the DSM. Many of us would likely say Borderline Personality Disorder, and it would certainly be in almost everybody's top three.I've been wanting to do an episode on BPD for a bit because there is something about this controversial diagnosis that allows us to explore the challenging and consequential nature of psychiatric diagnosis itself.To guide us in this exploration, I've had the privilege of inviting Dr. Awais Aftab, a leading authority in the field. His extensive work on philosophical, ethical, and scientific issues related to diagnosis makes him the perfect person to delve into this complex topic with. Awais Aftab, MD, is a psychiatrist in Cleveland, Ohio, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University. He led the interview series "Conversations in Critical Psychiatry" for Psychiatric Times, which explores critical and philosophical perspectives in psychiatry, with a book adaptation forthcoming from Oxford University Press. He is a senior editor for Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology and has been actively involved in initiatives to educate psychiatrists and trainees on conceptual and critical issues. He blogs at Psychiatry at the Margins.In the conversation, we dig into whether Borderline Personality Disorder is “real” and what that means, how it relates to the philosophical concept of epistemic injustice, how context influences the utility of a diagnosis, and more.Listen to the full episode to hear:How treatment of people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder frequently illustrates aspects of epistemic injustice/justiceThe ways that clinical setting and context influence the use, or misuse, of BPD as a diagnostic label and how that impacts patientsHow quantitative psychology is influencing how we conceptualize personality disordersWhy a BPD diagnosis can be intensely valuable for some clients, and how it helps guide cliniciansWhy we can't chalk up all psychopathology to traumaHow calls for testimonial justice from psychiatric patients should serve as a corrective force to excessive skepticism of patient narrativesLearn more about Dr. Awais Aftab:Psychiatry at the MarginsX: @awaisaftabLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingThe Kiln SchoolInstagram: @atherapistcantsaythatResources:Borderline Personality and Self-Understanding of PsychopathologyEpistemic injusticeThe epistemic injustice of borderline personality disorder,  Jay Watts, BJPsych InternationalA Metaphysics of Psychopathology, Peter ZacharPeter Fonagy

Tantra has been an integral part of the healing journey of a lot of people. This is one of the things I love about tantra, is that it has allowed people to have a space for healing and openness. It has opened up a pathway to allow people to heal their inner child during their adult lives. Healing is a process and a journey. One will continuously have to put in the work to grow and stay connected with the body and mind. It is  always going to be a work in progress. For this week's episode, Sophia and I had a chat about...How the body plays an impactful role in healing traumaHow healing trauma is a never-ending journey How tantra has been an integral part of people's healing journey If you would like to connect with Kim on a complimentary discovery call and see how you can work with her, book your call here - https://calendly.com/talk-to-kim/unleash-your-unapologetic-power-now About the guest ❤️Sophia Leslie is a certified Sacred Sexuality coach and therapist with VITA accreditation and other certifications on Tantra.She strives for the harmonious integration of sexuality and spirituality, creating an environment where individuals can open to profound exploration and the uplifting experience of deep pleasure and transformation.Over the past eight years, she has guided thousands of individuals, helping them in transformation and expansion through pleasure and love.Choosing to work with her means immersing yourself in embracing all parts of you and the confidence to be yourself in the bedroom and life. Get to know Sophia more here…Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sophialeslie/Website - https://www.sophialeslie.com/ —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow Kim below and continue the convo! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=569755109 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/get_your_sexy_back_coach/ Website - https://getyoursexyback.ca/ Private FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2251812558445958/

A misconception that people have is that tantra is all about s*x, but, the sexual aspect of tantra is just 8-10% of what tantra is about and used for. Tantra is about body connection, strengthening relationships, and much more. One particular thing that Tantra has done for me is that it has helped me heal from some traumas I have in my life. The same can be said for my guest Frances.  In this week's episode, Frances and I talk about...The connection between how you are in the bedroom and how you are outside of itHow the different tantra practices have been helpful in healing traumaHow tantra has been influential in our relationship with ourselves, others, spirituality, and the divine Frances Goodall is an IFS practitioner, chronic fatigue recovery specialist, Gupta Coach, Family Constellations Practitioner and pleasure advocate.

Sometimes I struggle with giving a title to my podcasts... I try to figure out how I can hook people in so that they will listen to something that I find so freaking fascinating and I try to implore how crazy important the topic is.The subject of fascia BLOWS my mind, and I want everyone to listen to this!!Fascia is finally become a more widely discussed area of health and wellness, but it still does not receive the attention it deserves in my opinion.It literally impacts EVERYTHING to do with our mind-body system, something that Anna Rahe of GST Body has known for decades.Anna developed a method of movement years ago when she was trying to heal and understand the root of her chronic pain and digestive and lung problems, despite being a yoga and pilates instructor.She decided that spending 2 to 3 hours per night to undo her pain ignited during the day just wasn't going to fit into her life forever.From this pain, introspection and great curiosity, GST Body was born, and through her methods and tools, she has helped many find ease and vitality in their bodies.This is the first of hopefully several conversations... I have many more questions and don't even know yet the full potential of where this topic can go, but I want to find out!In this interview, Anna tells us about:Her pain that started intensely at 18 years old after releasing emotional traumaHow all her certifications as a trainer, yoga and pilates instructor did not help her and in fact exacerbated her problemsHer revelation that fascia was the thing she was missingHow she learned how to get the results she was seeking via movement rather than with the tools she was usingJunk movement = junk fasciaHow focusing on movement brings permanence to positive changeFascia being our 'energetic' system and is a 'distributive' systemHow unhealthy fascia is an electrical block to the body as plugged arteries are a block to the circulatory systemNot all fascia changes yield the same resultsHow fascia has the greatest sensory network of all tissueHow the 5 different mechanical receptors require different inputsHow the fascial net is wired to the nervous system netThe need for many types of movementHow the body remodels according to its influencesHow frequently we need short movement breaksThe fact that most people have over-contracted fasciaHow fascia likes wide ranges of motion and the three types of action it requiresThe three elements that fascia requiresHow rolling doesn't move the pump of fasciaThe need for a variety of movementIf muscle is over-contracting, fascia is under-animatingMy story of releasing my SI joint after days of it being stuckThe need to contract muscles in a certain sequence in order for fascia to flowHow our biomechanics are no longer naturalIf tissue is not gliding, adrenals are held captive3 tips for what you can start incorporating dailyThe reflex of fascia that initiates the desire to moveHow your anxiety and pain are alarms for you to move your fasciaPoints for healing bad hipsNew understanding fo the brain-body relationshipand SO much more!This is the tip of the iceberg and I can't wait to get into more. I love this topic so much as it invites us to get curious and know ourselves at a deeper level; when we own it, it is totally empowering and up to us.That is powerful!We depend far too much on outside influences. It's time to take it ALL back... and knowing your fascia, I believe, is a path to knowing your SELF.Please share all around and please check out my store at: https://www.sovereigncollective.org/shop/To find out more about Anna and her offerings:Website: https://gstbody.com/Website: https://www.annarahe.com/You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGSTBodyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annaraheofgst/If you like what you heard here then please share!

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Phyllis Leavitt to discuss her story and the crucial need for collective mental health. Phyllis shares the importance of understanding the psychological underpinnings of societal issues, breaking cycles of abuse, and the importance of fostering individual and national healing. Phyllis Leavitt graduated from Antioch University with a Master's in Psychology and Counseling in 1989. Phyllis co-directed a family-based sexual abuse treatment program called Parents United in Santa Fe, New Mexico, until 1991 and then went into private practice full-time for the next 30-plus years. She has worked extensively with abuse and dysfunctional family dynamics, their aftermath, and some of the most important elements for healing. Our focus today is on her latest book, American Therapy: A New Approach to Hope and Healing for a Nation in Crisis, which delves into what perpetuates abuse at every level, the probable outcomes for individuals and the nation if cycles of violence and abuse continue unchecked, and, crucially, how to elevate the principles of individual and family healing to national awareness and implement them for the greater American family. She has also published two other books, A Light in the Darkness and Into the Fire, which chronicle her personal healing journey. In today's episode, we cover: How our family conditioning impact our thoughts, behaviors, and feelingsThe global and historical context of collective traumaHow post-traumatic stress manifests in different people What we personally find acceptable vs. what we allow on a larger scaleThe power of bringing the lens of psychology to our human experiences How the collective is living in constant fight or flight modeThe potential impact of collective healing The stigma around therapy and mental illnessesWhy we have to start taking responsibility for ourselves We hope you enjoyed this conversation with Phyllis!

If you're a therapist in 2024, odds are you have given a client a neuroscientific explanation for a symptom they're experiencing or an intervention you're using. You've probably done it sometime in the last week. So have I. Neuroscience-based language is the lingua franca of our field nowadays.As a field, we have largely abandoned the languages of behaviorism or psychoanalysis, though there are still therapists who use those frameworks. But if you asked most therapists right now why they think what they do works, you would get an answer about the brain and nervous system.This would be fine, except that at this moment, as our scientific knowledge rapidly grows, so do our claims about what that knowledge means, sometimes outpacing real understanding of the emerging research and its practical implications.So when I encountered an article in The Washington Post titled “The Body Keeps the Score offers uncertain science in the name of self-help. It's not alone” by writer and cultural critic Kristen Martin, I was intrigued by the way she shed light on some of the neuroscience that we increasingly use to justify what we do as therapists. I invited Kristen to join me to unpack some of the all-too-common misrepresentations and over-interpretations and the wide-ranging implications for our field and the people we treat.Kristen Martin is a writer and cultural critic. Her debut narrative nonfiction book, The Sun Won't Come Out Tomorrow, will be published in winter 2025.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why we are so compelled to seek out neurobiological explanations for human experiencesThe significant limitations of the research that routinely gets cited to justify neuroscientific models of mental illness and traumaHow poor communication, low science literacy, and social media exacerbate the spread of “folk neuroscience.”How neuroscientific explanations for mental health struggles are being co-opted and exploited by bad-faith actors and systemsHow biologically-based explanations for mental health issues can increase stigmaHow neurobiological models let us bypass our collective responsibilities to mitigate systemic issues associated with traumaLearn more about Kristen Martin:WebsiteTwitter: @kwistentLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingThe Kiln SchoolInstagram: @atherapistcantsaythatResources:‘The Body Keeps the Score' offers uncertain science in the name of self-help.

Do you think your child was exposed to alcohol or drugs during pregnancy? If so, a diagnosis can help your child access services and support. Check out this show with Dr. Yasmin Senturias, a developmental-behavioral pediatric specialist with 28 years of experience in developmental pediatrics and prenatal substance exposure. She worked with the American Academy of Pediatrics on developing their FASD Toolkit.In this episode, we cover:Prenatal Drug ExposureDo the impacts differ depending on what drug the child was exposed to? What's the difference between Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) or Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS). Short-term impacts? Is the impact less severe for legal drugs, such as nicotine and marijuana?Is the impact less severe for legal medications used to treat substance abuse disorders in pregnant women? What are the medical disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) or International Classification of Diseases (ICD) for prenatal drug exposure? Do these diagnoses have to be made at birth?What diagnosis is available if the child was exposed to drugs in utero but was not born dependent and didn't go through withdrawal, and therefore did not have a diagnosis of NAS or NOWS in their medical record?Do these diagnoses help the child and youth receive more services?What type of doctor can make this diagnosis? FASD:It is estimated that 1% to 5% of children in the United States may have an FASD. How common is drinking in pregnancy?

What to do if the child's record doesn't reflect that the mom drank during pregnancy?If you suspect or know that your child or youth was exposed to alcohol in utero, how can you get a diagnosis?What are some common misdiagnoses that kids and adolescents with prenatal alcohol exposure may get?What type of doctor can diagnose? Do you need a referral from your pediatrician to get an appointment with a specialist?Dual Exposure to Alcohol and DrugsHow common is the dual use of alcohol and drugs?How can drugs and alcohol together affect the child both in infancy and throughout life?Impact of TraumaHow does trauma interplay with prenatal substance exposure?Resources:American Academy of Pediatric Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders The American Academy of Pediatrics FASD Toolkit was developed in coordination with the CDC to raise awareness, promote surveillance and screening, and ensure that all children who possibly have FASDs receive appropriate and timely interventions.

“We have so many demands before us, we feel that we cannot stop. There is too much to do, and we're not stopping. … Know that if you follow the rhythm of this world, you'll likely be overworking and stressed out, if not traumatized,  so I actually get more done following the rhythm of my body and paying attention to it. Rhythms of deep work and deep rest. This is how I want to lead. For me to survive and then actually thrive in this kind of environment, I need to have a different rhythm.” — Alexis Abernethy, Fuller School of PsychologyComing from decades of research, clinical work, and practice in the field, Dr. Alexis Abernethy cuts through theory and ideals, addressing the complex realities of life: loss, trauma, systemic racism, the grinding and wearing away from the stresses of everyday life, and the pressure to lead in the face of unsolvable suffering and need.Alexis keeps spiritual health real and accessible, addressing research-backed principles on sleep, concentration, irritation, relationships, and burnout.Absolutely essential to spiritual health and thriving in our chaotic and frenetic days, Alexis describes rhythms that we can internalize before we get to those soft symptoms or signs of stress.This is a rich and robust conversation about self care at the deepest and most impactful levels in our physical, mental, and spiritual lives—tending to the complexity of our humanity and addressing the deep, pervasive practices that engage us and intertwine us with others and with the sacred, so that we can find and stay aligned with our purpose.In this conversation, we discuss:Her research and therapeutic work with traumatized pastors after Hurricane Katrina, emphasizing the necessity of self-care for the caregivers.How to identify the symptoms of burnout and how to respond.The Christian practice of Sabbath rest, worship, and singing, which Alexis personally experiences as a source of healing and restoration.Show Notes“Rhythms of deep work and deep rest. This is how I want to lead.”Alexis Abernethy's research and expertiseHow leaders can heal and thrive, taking care of themselves and leading their communitities, even amidst traumatic circumstances and the threat of burnoutCaring for pastors and local leaders in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana“It's just this complete devastation. That picture is seared in my mind, and then you go in other communities, and you don't see that same kind of devastation.”“Frankly, a deep anger just really was rising in me. righteous indignation at that injustice.”“This is an interaction of an uncontrollable hurricane and man's decision making.”Dealing with and holding all the anger that rises up as we develop a care and recovery process for healing after traumaHow to help the helpers? How to care for leaders who care for others?Surviving to Thriving, Resilience, and Cultivating RelationshipsPastors' Empowerment Program“What happens in the body?”Trauma's effects: physically, psychologically, emotionally, interpersonally—”how it affects how you engage in the world and how some people over-engage”Emotion regulationTheology of SabbathThe symptoms and root causes of burnoutThe Body Keeps the ScoreRestorative and restful sleepIrritabilityAttention and awareness: “Whose really in control here?”“First, know that if you follow the rhythm of this world, you'll likely be overworking and stressed out, if not traumatized, okay? But definitely overworking and stressed out, because that's the rhythm of our world.”Take a personal inventory for the purposes of making small adjustments that prioritize the balance of work and rest.How efficiency follows restHow to reorder the rhythms of lifeAlexis's response to the murder of George Floyd in 2020—feeling traumatized“I actually needed the world to be much smaller around me. I had to retreat. I had to withdraw because I didn't have what it took to be my more typical empathic self.”Phil Allen's film, Open WoundsIntellectualizing (as opposed to emotional presence) as a response to traumaThe pressure to have it all together and know what to doPermission as leaders and caregivers—in order to be present, we need to be absent.Microdoses of rhythm and restTheological insights and Sabbath principlesHow to implement Sabbath principles“Deep work. Deep rest.”“How's that unboundaried life working for you?”Exercise: What is your relationship to time?What is your theology of time?“God is in charge of time.”The image of GodComparing time and tithing: God's provision and principles of discipline and trustHow to deal with burnout in professional life and leadershipCompare and contrast where you've been with where you're goingEmotional exhaustionAttending to various domains: the physical, the emotional, the spiritual, the intellectual, the relational…“There are mindfulness that we can use words that are totally comfortable with anyone's tradition or background.”The difficulty of sharing about burnout, and the shame or fear that prevents connection with others about what you're experiencingLanguishing and depression sometimes requires an override in order to seek professional help and talk about difficult emotions that come from burnout.Prayer, scripture, and a brief emotional expression to God: “Jesus!” “Lord, have mercy!”The healing practice of singing together“Music was my first language.”“Sometimes I feel like a motherless child … a long way from home”“The power of music transcends religious experiences.”Psychological research on corporate worship experiences.“You're seeking a common note … It's communal not only that we're singing together, but we're singing toward a purpose … glorifying God.”“Bind us together, Lord, bind us together in love.”What does thriving mean to you?Thriving means walking toward discovering and experiencing the calling that God has for my life. It doesn't mean I'm always in it. It's walking toward it. The discovery is really rich. You know, you think of calling as a destination. It's not. It evolves. It evolves.”“I don't thrive by myself. There's no way I can thrive by myself. I do it in community.”Pam's Key TakeawaysCatastrophes don't hit us all the same. We all weather life storms in different ways. It's when we find healing and restoration in community that we can integrate personal, relational, and political thriving.Limitations can be our friends. Irritation, lack of concentration, fatigue are all signposts to the need for self care.Burnout is complex, often involves a shift in our context, making our environment or job not a good fit for who we are.To quote Bessel van der Kolk, our bodies keep the score. Burnout and psychological stress are often manifested with psychosomatic symptoms.We need to be aware of our relationship to time and how our trust and faith come into play when it comes to rest.I need more microdoses of rest and perhaps macrodoses of sleep.We thrive when our vocation lines up with our work. but we need to address our culture's workaholism by talking more about strategies for rest that contribute to spiritual health.About Alexis AbernethyAlexis Abernathy is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology in the Fuller School of Psychology, where for over 25 years she has served as Chaplain to the Faculty, Chief of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and her current role as Chief Academic Officer at Fuller Theological Seminary.  She graduated from Howard University with a BS in psychology.

The word “trauma” seems to be everywhere. As part of our three-part series on mental health, we wanted to dive into the concept. George Bonanno is a Professor of Clinical Psychology at Columbia University's Teachers College and internationally recognized for his pioneering research on human resilience in the face of loss and potential trauma. On this week's episode, Jim sits down with Professor Bonanno to discuss his book, The End of Trauma How the New Science of Resilience Is Changing How We Think About PTSD. Their conversation covers the origins of our conception of trauma, the modern phenomenon of labeling things “trauma,” and the power of resilience. As always, let us know what you think.

Do you feel like you are constantly apologizing? Do you say you're sorry for saying you're sorry? Does always feeling like you need to apologize cause you to feel bad about yourself, and do you wish you could break the pattern? Maybe you are an auto apologizer? Someone who says they are sorry automatically, almost as a reflex for anything and to everyone. Maybe you apologize to keep the peace? Or maybe you apologize as a defense mechanism to get ahead of others' criticism of you? If any of this describes you, then this episode is for you. In this episode, you will learn: The impact over-apologizing is having on usThe reasons why we over-apologizeThe connection between over-apologizing and traumaHow to stop over apologizingThe triggers of why and when you apologizeIdentifying the feelings behind when you apologizeLearning new language to use instead of "I'm sorry."How to put it all into practice I am grateful you are here, and thank you for being a part of this community.You are worthy of your own love,JerryMy New Book:Returning: Meditations and Reflections on Self-Love and HealingTransformational Coaching:Learn More Here!Support the Show:My Patreon PageHow is your relationship with yourself going?Get your free-self assessment guideWatch On YoutubeWebsite:www.jerryhenderson.orgSupport the Show:My Patreon PageTrouble Sleeping?Sleep ResetGet Your Free Weekly Healing Tips!Free Guided Self-Love Meditation:Get it Here!Website:www.jerryhenderson.orgInstagram: ...

Today's show is about building an online directory, which is hugely relevant to every clinician. Whether you've used an online directory to refer clients or thought about creating a directory to help other clinicians and clients, you know that it is a valuable resource that makes it easier to find a therapist who can help with very specific needs. Join us to learn more!Our Featured GuestLaura Reagan, LCSW-CLaura Reagan is a clinical social worker and integrative trauma specialist in Maryland who had the idea to create a directory for trauma therapists, Trauma Therapist Network. She's a trauma survivor who has specifically worked around trauma for the past 19 years. Through her years of experience, she has learned a lot about the nuances of trauma therapy, the services available, and what services are lacking. Laura gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how her idea for the directory evolved, the logical steps in the creation process, and the helpful resources that are available in creating an online directory. We wrap up today's conversation with a look at what has gone well in Laura's process and the things that are being constantly tweaked along the way.Trauma Therapist NetworkYou'll Learn:How Laura got the idea to create an online directory of trauma therapistsHow Laura saw the need and made the leap to create the online directoryHow the directory helps people find the specific therapy focus that aligns with their traumaHow the directory goes beyond finding a therapist but also helps inform and educate people about trauma and its effectsThe first steps Laura took to take the online directory from an idea to realityWhy Laura was willing to make the intentional commitment of time, effort, and money (lots of money!) to make the directory a thoroughly usable resource that helps people feel safe, hopeful, and reassuredHow Laura conveys the important message through the directory that trauma doesn't define a person and that there is hope to improve and make a better lifeWhy Laura had to allow herself to receive help and support in the development processHow creating the directory has been similar to giving birth to a child and watching it grow and develop into what it was meant to beResources:Want to launch your online course?Please check out our free 7-Day Course Creator Starter Kit For TherapistsLooking to launch a successful podcast?Please check out our free "Using Podcasting To Grow Your Business" workshop for therapists

Right now, today, in this very instant, your childhood wounds are playing out – in your communication style, in your anxieties, in all your conflicts with friends, family, coworkers, romantic partners, and more. That's how powerful our wounds are. And simply becoming aware of them makes us that much more powerful!

In this episode, Vienna gives us an overview of the book and introduces us to the 5 core wounds that may be running your show. Jess and Vienna talk all things coping strategies, being the black sheep of the family, perfectionism, “unconditional love” that is actually conditional – you know, all the good childhood trauma stuff. But the difference is Vienna cuts through the overwhelming existentialism that comes with the healing journey and gives us the inspiration to start. To continue!
