In this episode, we tackle the challenging but vital question: How can we support nervous system regulation when someone isn't in a safe environment? Drawing from Deb Dana's Polyvagal Theory expertise and current research, we explore practical strategies for both practitioners and individuals navigating unsafe circumstances.In this episode you'll learn:How to identify small touch points that can activate brief ventral vagal statesSpecific techniques practitioners & individuals can use to support clients/themselves in unsafe environmentsMicro-practices for self-regulation during ongoing stress or threatThree Takeaways:Even in unsafe environments, small "safety or regulating anchors" (objects, memories, connections) can provide crucial moments of regulation. The goal isn't permanent regulation in unsafe circumstances, but creating brief reminders that another state exists.Oftentimes the first step in healing is acknowledging the reality of one's situation, not minimizing or denying it. Whether you're a practitioner or the individual going through it, remember that your struggle makes sense, your survival responses make sense.Recognizing and savoring these micro-moments of "safe enough" builds neural pathways that support resilience over time.Resources/Citations:National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233"Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection" by Deb Dana"Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory" by Deb DanaLevine, P.

Nursing students are at risk for developing secondary traumatic stress (STS) while completing their clinical training. Kristen Oakley synthesized the research on the prevalence, severity, and experience of STS and its associated factors in prelicensure nursing students. Findings from their review of 25 studies revealed a range of STS symptom severity levels and associated factors; however, measurement is hampered by researchers' use of other concepts, like compassion fatigue.

Let's face it. We all know someone who has experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives. We may be the trauma survivor. In fact, 50% of all U.S. adults will experience at least one traumatic event in their lives (NIH). Trauma can be damaging in the moment and in the aftermath. On this episode, I discuss my personal experience with trauma and PTSD. I also discuss the Conspiracy of Silence spearheaded by Dr. Yael Danieli (2009).

Margaret Christensen, MD, FACOG, IFMCP, IFM, ABOIM and Bernadette discuss how hormones impact our overall health. An Institute for Functional Medicine faculty member for 12 years, Dr. Christensen first became interested in functional medicine 15 years ago when trying to solve the riddle of her and her family's complex health challenges-- unbeknownst to her at the time were consequences of severe toxic mold exposure. She became intimately familiar with Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Autoimmune, Hormonal, Neurological and Psychiatric consequences of unrecognized Biotoxin illness. A board-certified OB-GYN for 23 years, her initial boutique Functional Medicine practice has grown into The Carpathia Collaborative, a large multidisciplinary, Functional Medicine Practice based in Dallas and covering the full spectrum of complex chronic disease. The practice provides 360 degree functional lifestyle and nutritional medicine and includes an onsite teaching kitchen, yoga studio and education library that also serves as the site for community-learning events. Dr. Christensen is passionate about educating her clients and colleagues about root cause, whole-systems medicine!

Psychological Debriefing is a technique for reducing the impact of traumatic stress after a neurologically intense experience. On a neuropsychological level that experience could be anything that triggers a release of certain hormones such as cortisol (known as “the stress hormone”) and adrenaline. On a behavioral level that typically includes situations such as being involved in a physical intervention, being exposed to aggressive posturing, being yelled at, or really any situation that triggers significant danger signals in your body. Exactly what moves a person significantly out of their comfort zone is going to differ from person to person based on individual physiology and psychology. Exposure to traumatic stress does not automatically result in serious mental health conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. However, traumatic stress has a cumulative effect and can trigger pre-existing PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD include: Aggressive or emotional outbursts Nightmares and/or flashbacks Heart palpitations, trembling hands, or sweating A sense of self-blame, worthlessness, shame, or guilt Acute or chronic unexplained physical pain Avoidance of people, things, or situations related to traumatic event Jumpiness Difficulty with sleep, eating, or physical intimacy Digestion disruptions Weakened immune system Low mood Headaches Social isolation Feeling empty or hopeless Loss of interest in activities Irritability Distrust of others or the world Dissociation The symptoms of traumatic stress are less extreme. However, because stress is stored in the body, impacting all sorts of neurological and physiological regulatory systems, it's important to take steps to reduce its impact on staff. There's something about being exposed to intense negative experiences that parts of the brain have great difficulty processing. Typically, during such incidents the parts of the brain that are responsible for your sense of time do not function at 100%. Thus, an objectively short incident might feel like it was much longer and have a bigger impact on you. Likewise, your ability to remember the exact sequence of what happened becomes impaired. The result is that afterwards, there's parts of your brain that feel confused about what just happened. That sense of confusion can lead to perseverative thoughts. So, as you commute home, you keep running the incident over and over again in your head. Part of you is trying to process, to make sense of, what happened. However, memories of intense situations are stored based on their emotional impact. So, you start to feel emotional in thinking about what happened earlier, and that in turn impairs your ability to process it. Round and round your thoughts go, without any real resolution. In the meantime, the stress builds up, and is stored, in your muscles and nervous system, eventually impacting your immune system and other regulatory mechanisms in your body. One of the most effective and practical ways to lessen that effect is through the regular use of Psychological Debriefing. There's four things that help reduce the impact of traumatic stress. Overwriting the emotional load of the traumatic memories. Clarifying the sequence of events. Feeling cared for and respected. Use of self-centering techniques. Neuropsychological research supports practice-wisdom suggesting that the exact timing of debriefing doesn't matter, in terms of its effectiveness. Sometimes, it can be done right after an incident. However, it also works to reduce the impact of traumatic stress even hours later. Nevertheless, as a rule of thumb, it's best if Psychological Debriefing can occur before the shift ends. Otherwise, perseverating, repeatedly running through what happened in your own head, tends to reinforce the traumatic emotions tied to the memory. You can try to debrief outside of work, but you'll soon learn that family and friends can't really relate to what you're describing and are left simply questioning why you would do such work in the first place! Instead, what's most helpful is to have a fellow staff person, ideally a shift leader or supervisor, but really it can be any staff person, simply attentively listen as you describe what happened. Overwriting the emotional load of traumatic memories: When you describe, in a relatively calm fashion, what happened in a stressful incident, you begin the process of overwriting the emotional load of traumatic memories. Essentially what's happening in your brain is that you are taking the memory of the stressful event, with it's intense emotional load, and overwriting that memory with a new memory of describing the incident to someone else, with a much reduced emotional load. In this way, some of the emotional power, the sting, of the memory is reduced. Later, recalling what happened is less likely to trigger the intense emotions originally experienced. Instead, that recall is tempered by the memory of calmly describing what happened to a colleague. To some extent, writing up the incident can serve the same purpose. However, on an emotional level, the memory of calmly writing an incident report is not as powerful as a memory of verbally describing what happened. Debriefing with an attentive colleague works best. The key is that the description of what happened should, at least initially, focus on the behaviors and not on the staff person's emotions. The idea is to be able to recount what happened while experiencing a relatively calm state-of-mind. Clarifying the Sequence of Events: Because the parts of the brain that keep track of time tend to get shut off during intense situations, the more cognitive parts of the brain can be left feeling somewhat confused about the exact sequence of events that took place. Again, sticking to a description of the actions that occurred during the incident being debriefed can be helpful for restoring that sense of sequence which helps the person being debriefed feel more oriented and centered. It's not uncommon to debrief a group of people simultaneously who were all involved in some intense incident. Often times some staff people will not have been aware of what was happening with others on the team. Again, a review of that together is orienting and centering. It should be a clear expectation that shift leaders will debrief any critical incidents before sending staff home. Debriefing can, sometimes, be done very briefly, in just a minute or two. It can also be done as a small group, and sometimes can be blended with the writing of the incident report. Feeling Cared For and Respected: To some extent simply attentively listening to a staff person's description of what occurred will make them feel cared for and respected. That has a huge impact on reducing the impact of traumatic stress. However, it may make sense to ask a few questions. After incidents that involved physical intervention, it's helpful to ask the staff if anyone was hurt or injured. Frequently, staff members will ignore minor scrapes and bruises that don't require medical attention. However, being able to share these sorts of minor injuries has psychological / emotional benefit. In some cases, staff will have become injured to an extent that should be reported and they need to be encouraged to do that follow through. Sometimes a staff person will be embarrassed that they received some minor injury. Normalizing that performing physical interventions are difficult can be helpful. Likewise, sometimes a staff person is very unhappy about some aspect of their own performance during a physical intervention. Again, normalizing that this is an extremely difficult part of the job can be emotionally supportive and helpful. Simply asking the staff person how they're doing can be helpful. From a trauma mitigation perspective, their answer is less important than their experiencing being asked. Having supportive teammates who care about your well-being is a huge trauma protective factor. As the debriefer, it is not your role to solve any problems, to brainstorm other things the staff person could have done in the incident, or to analyze the actions or motivations of the clients involved in the incident. Instead, it is the debriefer's role to attentively listen and to be generally emotionally supportive. Sometimes a staff person may be so emotionally impacted by an incident that follow up in individual supervision would be helpful. Psychological Debriefing is intended to help, but is intended to be relatively brief. Suggesting that a staff person bring up what happened in their next supervision may be good advice, or in some cases letting the person's supervisor know that some follow up would be helpful is part of being a caring and professional colleague. Use of Centering Techniques: The impact of traumatic stress can be greatly lessened by the use of various centering techniques. Staff members should be encouraged to use these sorts of strategies to help manage their own stress. Psychological Debriefing can reinforce the use these actions and of acquiring a sophisticated understanding of traumatic stress. Immediately after a traumatically stressful incident, it's helpful for staff to attend to their own basic needs. Sometimes, it's helpful to be cued to do this by a colleague. Basic needs include things like hydrating, using a bathroom, stretching a little, or perhaps taking a short break. These things signal your body that the crisis is over and that your physiology can return to baseline. During Psychological Debriefing, the debriefer can ask if the incident took that staff person by surprise or was something they were able to partly anticipate. Intense situations that occur without anticipation tend to be more traumatically stressful. Likewise, the debriefer can ask if the staff person felt that their training prepared them for the incident. Feeling trained and some level of competence in an intense situation will tend to result in less traumatic stress being experienced. Gaps in training can be brought to the attention of supervisors for future improved training. Asking the staff person about their own body awareness during the incident can be helpful. Maintaining an awareness of your own muscle tension, breathing, heart rate, and other internal reactions can help you feel in control and can reduce the impact of the traumatic stress. Asking the staff person if they felt supported by their teammates during the incident can also be helpful. Many times the staff person will report that they did feel supported and their recognition of that will help to lessen some of the lingering effects of the traumatic stress. If a staff person didn't feel supportive, that's important information for the rest of the team and for supervisors so that teamwork improvements can be made. There are numerous relaxation, meditation, and mindfulness exercises that can be helpful after exposure to traumatic stress. Staff members should be taught some of these techniques and encouraged to use them after being exposed to traumatic stress.

Ray Shelton, Ph.D. is a nationally-known expert on stress and the impacts it has on frontline personnel in disasters and other crises. He is a Fellow and the Director of Professional Development for The American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, in Miller Place, New York. He's seen tragedy first-hand over 35 years serving with the Nassau County, New York Police department, including the Twin Towers Collapse during 9/11. He's also a former firefighter and paramedic.“The adjusters are no different than fire, police, and EMS, they're front line. They're action-oriented. They take risks. They have tremendous attention to detail. They have a powerful need for control, to help people get their lives back in order,” said Shelton. “But the price that is paid for that, is all of the memories, all of the conversations, all of the sites that they see stays with them. There's absolutely no delete button in the human brain.”Shelton worked with the Liberty Mutual Insurance Catastrophe Response Team during the California Wildfires in 2008 and subsequent tornado outbreaks across the country. That's where he met Jenny Pye, M.S., whose 35 years with Liberty Mutual included serving as a Property Claims Manager and Director of Quality Improvement for Auto Physical Damage (APD), Property, and Shared Services.“Every time I hear Ray talk, it takes me back to early in my career when I was an adjuster in the field and would go out and have multiple fatality 18-Wheeler accidents, and just the emotions of being on scene and investigating a claim,” said Pye. “Sometimes the bodies were still there and then talking to their families, just all those emotions.”Today, Pye is the Director of Commercial Claims at Pilot Catastrophe Services, based in Mobile, Alabama. She helps adjusters and the firms they serve to not only proficiently manage the technical part of the job, but manage the emotional toll that claims can have. She said adjusters who strive for great customer experience, often ignore or cover-up signs of traumatic stress. “But sometimes you get feedback as a manager and hopefully before you get that feedback from your customer, you're recognizing these issues,” said Pye. “Maybe the adjuster is not as responsive as they normally are. It's not just answering a text or phone call, if you're calling about a claim, it can be on a Zoom call and you will see where these folks that are normally engaged are not engaged.” That, she adds, requires claim managers to “finely tune your senses to be aware of what's going on.”Shelton, who presents “Fine Tuned Adjuster” webinars for the Property Loss & Research Bureau said there are consequences of not recognizing the signs in adjusters or of claims management not responding to the signs.“If you do nothing, it stops productivity and the bigger danger (is) maybe that you lose that person who has bottled this all up from multiple times that this has occurred and finally says, ‘You know, I've had enough' and they leave the industry,” Shelton said, noting the current market challenge of recruiting adjusters to replace those that leave the profession.(For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-47-stress-strain-of-adjusting/)

In this episode, we explore the insidious nature of gaslighting, drawing insights from academic research conducted by experts like Dr. Emily Campbell at the University of Michigan and Dr. James Harper at Stanford University. Through real-world examples from my personal journey, we connect these experiences to the broader psychological framework outlined in scholarly studies. Discover the cognitive and emotional impact of gaslighting on individuals, as we uncover red flags and provide strategies for identification. Drawing on the work of professionals like Dr. Susan Whitbourne at the University of Massachusetts and Dr. Christine Garcia at Johns Hopkins University, we delve into the crucial role of social support and self-compassion in mitigating the effects of workplace gaslighting. The episode also addresses the aftermath of working in an environment where gaslighting is prevalent, exploring the long-term effects highlighted in recent studies from the Journal of Traumatic Stress and the Journal of Occupational Health. We emphasize the importance of proactive mental health strategies in recovery and share insights on rebuilding confidence and finding a path forward.

When I first recorded this episode it was in response to the mass shooting at Robb Elementary that was preceded by the supermarket shooting days earlier. With gun violence on the rise, more mass shootings, war in many countries, there is no time better than now to help our kids understand and make sense of what seems like senseless violence. Please listen to my brilliant guest, Barbara Rubel and how she shares her own story and provides us with a path forward for us and our kids. Please listen and please share. Gun violence has been heavy on everyone's mind with the horrific massacre at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York and just ten days later, the shooting of innocent lives at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. It makes sense that you have feelings about what's happened and are grieving the loss of life and innocence whether you know the victims or not. As parents, it hits us especially hard when we see innocent children killed. Sending our kids to school brings up anxiety and fear in us, and our sense of safety is gone.How do we live with the anxiety and fear we are all feeling?How do we make sense out of senseless violence?How do we make meaning out of something so tragic? Barbara Rubel, as a Thanatologist, is an expert in death, dying and bereavement. She helps people cope with, and move on from, sudden traumatic loss. Barbara and I talk about how we can process these tragedies, grieve the loss of the innocent lives, explain what's happened to our kids, take care of ourselves at this time and move through the pain. I have enormous respect for the work Barbara does, and I know you will love what she has to share. Unfortunately, we live in a world where we have to have these hard conversations with our kids. When you go to them, stay rooted in your strengths, explain death in a way that's age appropriate and aligned with your beliefs, and it's ok to show emotions to your children. Feeling sad is normal and natural, this IS sad. For more on how to talk to your children about hard things such as this, please watch this video with 6 Steps to Talk to Your Kids About Hard Things: https://youtu.be/RCVp51ANqDg About Barbara RubelBarbara Rubel is a Board-Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress and Diplomate with the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. Barbara received a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Arts degree in community health, with a concentration in Thanatology from Brooklyn College.

Dr. Sandie Morgan is joined by Dr. Melissa Farley. The two discuss the issues surrounding the legalization of prostitution. Dr. Melissa Farley Dr. Melissa Farley. She's a feminist psychologist who has authored or co-authored 52 peer reviewed articles on trauma, healthcare, prostitution, pornography, and sex trafficking as well as two books, "Prostitution, Trafficking and Traumatic Stress" and "Prostitution and Trrafficking in Nevada: Making the Connections." Her research and publications have been used by governments in South Africa, Cambodia, Canada, France, New Zealand, Ghana, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States for education and policy development on prostitution and trafficking. Dr. Farley founded Prostitution Research and Education, a nonprofit research institute, which disseminates educational materials by survivors and others who contribute to the movement to abolish prostitution. Main Points Prostitution, pornography, and trafficking are linked and are difficult to separate because they all affect each other. Research should include survivor voices and cultural representation from leaders and experts should be a part of the process. Trafficking is essentially pimping, and in simple terms is the control of one human being by another who uses them for the purpose of making money by selling them for sexual use. The common narrative that permeates the nuanced issue of prostitution, and it is often pushed by the pimps themselves, is that most people engage in prostitution voluntarily but there are few who have been trafficked. Prostitution is not a freely made choice because coercive control is involved and social conditions that surround an individual. When prostitution is legalized, the stigma around it remains.
