Why Are We So Lonely Even When We're Not Alone?   Host Curtis Chang talks with psychologist and podcaster Dr. Alison Cook about why America's loneliness epidemic can't be solved by simply adding more people to our lives. They explore how attachment wounds, anxiety, distraction, and modern life leave us disconnected—and how solitude and honest prayer can become paths toward healing. Dr. Cook offers a practice for loneliness: "recognize and return"—name what you feel, then remember, "I am loved even here."   02:46 - Why Do We Minimize Loneliness? 05:12 - What Is Attachment Theory? 10:31 - Childhood Wounds and Cultural Context 13:42 - Where God Enters the Healing Process 16:14 - The Inner Dialogue with God 20:44 - The Importance of Solitude 27:20 - The Modern Epidemic of Loneliness 35:16 - Loneliness as a Holy Longing 39:22 - Spiritual Practices for a Healthy Inner Life   To give to Good Faith: https://goodfaith.org/donate   Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Cook's The Secure Soul: Finding Inner Strength and Connection When Trust Doesn't Come Easy The U.S. Surgeon General's report: Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation Professor Irvin D.

We've all heard the advice: "Just let it go." But what if the struggle isn't your willingness to heal? What if it's the language we've been using? In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb Lindh explores a different approach to healing: setting it down. Through research-informed insights from mindfulness, neuroscience, embodied cognition, and trauma psychology, you'll discover how old beliefs and emotional burdens can become part of our identity—and how we can begin to release them with compassion. This episode also includes a guided mindfulness practice designed to help you visualize setting down a burden that no longer belongs to you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "let it go" can feel frustrating and ineffective How invisible beliefs become emotional burdens What embodied cognition teaches us about healing The role of neuroplasticity in changing long-held beliefs Why the body often recognizes healing before the mind A guided mindfulness exercise to help you gently "set it down" Whether you're carrying self-doubt, shame, perfectionism, grief, or an old story that no longer serves you, this episode offers a compassionate invitation to begin your next chapter a bit lighter.

Send us Fan MailDr. Steven Segal is a psychologist, philosophical counsellor, and leadership coach. He is a former Associate Professor at the Macquarie Graduate School of Management and has spent more than two decades working at the intersection of psychology, philosophy, leadership, and organisational life. His work explores how individuals and communities respond to uncertainty, disruption, and existential threats—those moments when people experience a loss of meaning, belonging, identity, or a sense of being at home in the world. Through his therapy, counselling, coaching, teaching, and writing, he helps individuals and organisations navigate complexity, anxiety, and change while remaining connected to what matters most.His most recent book is Mandela's Leadership Legacy: Emotional and Existential Wisdom. The book was written as a kind of conversation between Martin Heidegger's existential philosophy and Mandela's way of being a leader. It used Heidegger to shed light on Mandela's existential journey and used Mandela to provide an accessible introduction to the philosophy of Heidegger.A Couple Quotes From This Episode"Mandela wasn't the kind of motivational speaker who gets people hyped up. His style was much more thoughtful in the sense of working through emotion.""Dialogue across difference, it gets to your identity. And when our identity feels a bit threatened, we tend to become reactive rather than listening. Mandela was able to listen when there were threats to his identity."ResourcesBook: Business Feel: From the Science of Management to the Philosophy of LeadershipPhilosophical Reflections and Insights for Psychologists and Psychotherapists (forthcoming)Website - Dr. Steven SegalAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership.

What comes after rest? In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb Lindh explores a question we rarely ask: What if enjoyment isn't something we earn, but something we intentionally cultivate? Drawing on the work of positive psychology pioneers Barbara Fredrickson, Martin Seligman, and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, this episode explores the science behind positive emotions, flourishing, and the power of being fully present. Learn the difference between entertainment and enjoyment, why positive emotions are essential to well-being, and how allowing ourselves to experience enjoyment can become part of the healing process. Healing isn't only about recovering from difficult experiences. It's also about rediscovering the moments that remind us what it means to be fully alive.

What if addiction isn't a moral failure — and it isn't just a brain disease either? What if it's the natural expression of a terrain that never got the support it needed?In this episode of I Love Being Sober, Tim Westbrook sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters — naturopathic oncologist, bestselling author, and 35-year stage IV ovarian cancer thriver — for one of the most clinically rich and emotionally honest conversations this podcast has ever hosted. Recorded live at Camelback Recovery's outpatient treatment center in Scottsdale, Arizona, in front of a live audience of clients and staff.Dr. Winters scored a perfect 10 out of 10 on the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) scale. She came from a family shaped by alcoholism, addiction, mental illness, and trauma. She was days from death when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer at 19 — and she was sent home to die. Instead, she spent the next three decades building one of the most comprehensive frameworks in integrative medicine: the Terrain Ten.This conversation bridges two worlds that rarely talk to each other: terrain-based medicine and addiction recovery. And the overlap is exact.In this episode, you'll learn:Why sugar and ultra-processed food activate the same dopamine receptors as cocaine and heroin — and how that keeps recovery stuckHow unstable blood sugar mimics and worsens the craving cycle in early sobrietyWhy Dr. Winters now puts mental and emotional health FIRST in her Terrain Ten — flipping the framework she published in 2017The ACE score, what it predicts, and why a score of 3 or above dramatically increases disease riskWhat intermittent fasting actually does to the brain in recovery — and how to start without white-knuckling itThe emerging field of metabolic psychiatry and why ketosis has reversed bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and addiction in clinical trialsWhy being “never sick” is a red flag, not a health flexHow chronic stress puts the body in a state where treatments “bounce off” — and what to do about itEMDR, ibogaine, and psychedelic-assisted therapy in the context of trauma and addiction recoveryThe two things that showed up as universal common denominators across 500 cancer and mental health patients: not feeling seen, and not feeling heardThe audience Q&A goes even deeper — covering sleep and metabolic health, keto and depression, sexual abuse and trauma processing, and what it takes to rebuild a life after violence and addiction.This is not a light episode.

Why do so many trauma survivors carry blame while the people who caused the harm seem to avoid accountability? In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb Lindh explores the powerful distinction between blame, accountability, and healing. Drawing from trauma psychology, family systems, moral injury, and current PTSD research, this conversation examines why survivors often become the ones left carrying the emotional weight when accountability is absent. Together, we'll explore: The difference between blame and accountability Why self-blame is so common after trauma How scapegoating operates within families, organizations, and communities The impact of moral injury when justice and acknowledgment never come Why healing does not require another person's accountability How to begin returning responsibility to its rightful owner If you've ever found yourself asking, "Why am I still carrying this?" this episode offers a compassionate and empowering perspective.

Why do so many of us believe we have to earn the right to rest? In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb Lindh explores how trauma, family systems, workplace culture, and societal expectations can quietly teach us that our worth is measured by how much we carry. Together, we'll examine why exhaustion has become a badge of honor and how ancient Greek philosophy, modern neuroscience, and organizational psychology all point toward a different path—one rooted in balance, flourishing, and living fully. If you've ever found yourself saying, "I'll rest when..." this episode is for you. Join us as we explore: Why we often confuse surviving with living How trauma keeps the nervous system stuck in survival mode What Greek philosophers taught about flourishing and living a meaningful life Why organizations, families, and society often reward exhaustion How small moments of joy help rewire the brain for safety and resilience Practical ways to create space for life while life is still happening You don't have to wait until everything is finished to begin living.

In this episode, Dr. Amy Todey joins Dr. Kibby to talk about the generational divide in modern families and how families can navigate difficult relationships.Are Boomer parents all narcissists? Or are the younger generations just fragile snowflakes? In this episode, Dr. Amy Todey joins Dr. Kibby to discuss how the generational divide in family relationships is deeper (and more fragile) than most of us realize. Dr. Amy Todey is a clinical psychologist who specializes in coparenting and family relationships. In this conversation, she reveals why conflicts between parents, adult children, and grandparents often stem from misaligned values and unspoken wounds, and how understanding these differences can lead to repair, not rupture. She shares surprising insights on why modern families fracture, how labels like "narcissist" obscure the real issues, and the quiet power of boundaries rooted in love and accountability. They also discuss the risk of the rise in "cut-off" or estrangement culture. In this eye-opening conversation, you'll discover practical frameworks for navigating emotional safety and reconciliation across generations. Dr. Todey discusses the importance of honoring your own story while holding space for others', offering concrete strategies to set boundaries without severing connections. She explores how societal shifts are fueling family conflicts, and what you can do to foster belonging despite these tensions. Dr. Kibby and Dr. Todey explore how to recognize when to cut off or lean in, the role of forgiveness in healing familial wounds, and the common pitfalls that keep families stuck in cycles of estrangement. Whether you're navigating the challenges of aging parents, estranged siblings, or strained grandparent relationships, you'll leave with tangible tools to foster understanding, love, and resilience in your family, no matter how complex or imperfect.Resources:Need help dealing with a difficult family member?

What if the bravest thing you ever do isn't crossing the finish line—but taking the very first step? In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb explores the quiet, often unseen moment that begins every journey of healing, growth, and transformation. Before the new habits, the new career, the therapy session, the workout, or the life changes, there is a decision—a moment of courage when we choose that the life we've been living is no longer the life we want. Whether your journey began because of trauma, burnout, grief, anxiety, a health challenge, or simply a deep knowing that something had to change, this episode is a reminder that every path starts with one brave choice. You'll discover: Why the decision to change is often the bravest step of all. The connection between trauma, identity, and transformational change. How authenticity is less about becoming someone new and more about coming home to yourself. Why every beginner deserves compassion—not comparison. A reminder that wherever you are on your journey, you belong. The first step isn't about having all the answers. It's about believing you're worth taking the journey.

Dr. Brody shares his incredible journey from suffering a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and deep addiction to uncovering the life-changing power of Neuroplasticity.They dive into the invisible link between brain trauma and substance abuse, how mindfulness physically rewires brain structures, and why massive life transformation actually starts with tiny, everyday "pinky moves."Key TakeawaysThe TBI & Addiction Connection: Research shows that individuals who experience brain injuries or trauma have a significantly higher propensity toward addictive behaviors. When the brain isn't functioning properly, it struggles to produce stable mood-regulating neurotransmitters (like dopamine and serotonin), leading individuals to self-medicate.The Power of 56 Days: Dr. Brody highlights a Harvard study demonstrating that just 56 days of consistent meditation can physically alter the structure of the brain, lowering stress and improving concentration.The Brain Only Cares About Repetition: The brain doesn't differentiate between positive or negative habits; it simply reinforces whatever path you repeat. Whether it's taking pills or going for a walk, repetition builds neural superhighways.Accountability Over Shame: Healing requires looking honestly at your current reality without letting shame keep you stuck. Swallowing the hard pill of accountability is the first step toward building a new identity.Neuroplasticity in Practice: The Power of "Pinky Moves"If you feel overwhelmed by the idea of changing your life, Dr. Brody emphasizes taking micro-steps rather than trying to climb the mountain in one day.Interrupt the Default Mode Network: Humans have a natural negativity bias wired for survival. You can begin to interrupt these automatic negative thoughts simply by shifting your internal self-talk.Combine Thought with Action: True neural change requires backing up your thoughts with behavior. Your brain will "call BS" on positive thinking if it isn't paired with action.Start Small: Dr. Brody recommends James Clear's Atomic Habits. Committing to a simple 10-minute walk or 5 minutes of breathing exercises daily creates an upward spiral of positive momentum.Words of Wisdom"Just because you feel this way today does not mean that you have to feel this way for the rest of your life. If you start to make small changes, I promise you—from someone who has lived exactly what you're going through—you can start today and make a big change over time." — Dr. Brody MillerResources & Links MentionedBooksBrain Rescue by Dr. Brody MillerAtomic Habits by James ClearBreaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe DispenzaThe Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce LiptonThe Answer by John AssarafPrograms & ConnectAddiction Rescue Course: Addiction Rescue Team (A neuroscience-backed recovery program co-created with Sean David Cohen).Website: Dr. Brody Miller Official WebsiteInstagram: @Dr.BrodyMillerFollow and Review: We'd love it even more if you could drop a review or 5-star rating over on Apple Podcasts.

Who—or what—is occupying your mind? In this solo episode, Dr. Deb explores the powerful metaphor of "No Vacancy" and what it means to reclaim psychological ownership after trauma. Drawing from neuroscience, organizational psychology, and mindfulness, she discusses how fear, shame, self-doubt, and unresolved experiences can quietly occupy our mental and emotional space. Listeners will learn how chronic stress affects the brain, why boundaries protect more than relationships—they protect the nervous system—and how healing begins by deciding what deserves access to our minds. The episode concludes with a brief guided mindfulness practice to help you reclaim your inner space and reserve it for healing, peace, and hope. In this episode, you'll learn: What "psychological ownership" means in trauma recovery How trauma can occupy our thoughts, emotions, and identity The neuroscience of attention, allostatic load, and neuroplasticity Why boundaries are essential for protecting your nervous system A simple mindfulness practice to help you reclaim your inner space Remember: Your mind is not public property. You have the right to decide what enters, what stays, and what leaves. If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available.

If you've been looking for a way to use your clinical skills, stay patient-facing, and make an impact—without the full weight of traditional practice—this episode may open a door you didn't know existed. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Purvi Mehra, who shares her unexpected path from fellowship into clinical research and ultimately building and selling a thriving research company. We explore what the principal investigator role really looks like, why it's far more clinical than most physicians assume, and how you can get started even without prior research experience. If you're looking for a flexible path that allows you to stay patient-facing while shifting out of traditional practice, this conversation opens a fascinating and often overlooked opportunity. In this episode we're talking about: What a principal investigator actually does day to day in clinical research Why private clinical research is more patient-facing than you might think How Dr. Mehra transitioned from fellowship to building and selling a research company The different types of clinical trial settings and what to expect in each Who this role is a good fit for and the skills you already have that apply How to find opportunities even if you have no research background Compensation insights and what physicians can expect in these roles Links for this episode: Dr. Purvi Mehra's Website Dr. Purvi Mehra's LinkedIn Exit With Intention - A book for healthcare business owners considering an exit by Dr. Purvi Mehra If you would like some confidential help with your career situation, I offer an hour-long paid consultation via Zoom.

There are moments in healing where something shifts. Not all at once. Not loudly. But clearly. A realization begins to take shape:

Send us Fan MailThe Supreme Court is currently considering two major cases brought by West Virginia and Idaho which address state-level bans on transgender female students playing on girls' school sports teams. Together, these cases could determine whether states can legally exclude trans athletes from school sports nationwide. Politicians and pundits argue about fairness, biology, and the future of women's sports, but far too often the voices of transgender athletes themselves get lost in the noise. That's exactly what Anna Baeth, Ellie Roscher, and Chris Mosier are trying to change. Ellie and Chris join Sarato discuss their new and groundbreaking book Fair Game, which breaks down the myths being told through personal interviews with trans athletes and includes an informative look at the research, history, and politics of gender in sports.  They explore the deeper question underneath it all: what do we really mean when we talk about fairness, and why does sports participation matter—not just for elite athletes, but for every kid who simply wants to play on a team, move their body, and belong.Special Guest: Ellie RoscherEllie Roscher is the author of Fair Game, Remarkable Rose, The Embodied Path, 12 Tiny Things, Play Like a Girl and How Coffee Saved My Life. Ellie teaches writing and yoga in Minneapolis. She was a two-sport college athlete, competing in gymnastics and softball, and went on to coach both at the rec, club, and high school level. Ellie holds an MFA in Writing from Sarah Lawrence College and an MA in Theology from Luther Seminary. Special Guest: Chris MosierChris Mosier is a trailblazing athlete, coach, and founder of TransAthlete.com, the go-to resource on transgender inclusion in sports. He made history as the first openly trans man on a U.S. Men's National Team and helped change International Olympic Committee policy for trans athletes. A Nike-sponsored athlete, Chris is a five-time national champion, and relentless advocate for trans rights.

In this PTSD and Beyond episode, we explore what it means to notice where we feel grounded, connected, and at ease, and how those moments are not random, but meaningful signals. Through the lens of self care, awareness, and healing, this conversation reflects on the environments, relationships, and spaces that either support or disconnect us from who we are. We also explore the meaning behind “I go where I feel like myself” and the “Cheers effect,” that sense of being in spaces where we can exhale and simply be, and why certain places feel like home. Self-care is not only what we do. It is also where we go, what we allow, and what we choose.

We hear a lot about saying “no” as self-care. And that matters. But what happens when everything becomes no? In this episode, we explore when boundaries shift from intentional protection to automatic response. What starts as safety can become disconnection. This conversation brings a trauma-informed and neuroscience-based lens to understanding “no,” and how to move toward discernment, flexibility, and connection. Key Takeaways: 1. Boundaries support connection, not replace it 2. Automatic “no” can be a protective pattern, not a conscious choice 3. The brain predicts safety based on past experiences 4. Psychological flexibility supports wellbeing and growth 5. Connection is essential to overall health Reflection Questions:  Where has “no” become automatic? Is this response coming from fear or alignment? What would it look like to pause before responding? If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we welcome Christopher J. Allen, a military leader and veteran advocate dedicated to supporting service members, veterans, and their families. This conversation centers on leadership in its most human form. Beyond titles, rank, or position, leadership is about presence, connection, and the willingness to check-in. Christopher shares insights from his experience in service, highlighting the importance of everyday moments that build trust, strengthen connection, and create meaningful impact. We explore how small actions, like a conversation or a simple check-in, can serve as powerful protective factors in supporting mental health and preventing crisis. This episode is a reminder that leadership and care often show up in the smallest moments. What We Discuss - • Leadership through presence, connection, and care • The role of everyday conversations in supporting mental health • Suicide prevention as a shared responsibility • The importance of checking in with others and with ourselves • The human side of service and leadership • Building connection as a protective factor Key Takeaways: • Leadership is expressed through presence and genuine connection • Small moments can have a meaningful impact • Checking in is a simple but powerful act of care • Mental health support begins with connection and awareness

This week I'm bringing back an important conversation from the archives. Dr. Valerie discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the collective, inherited trauma of oppression. She is also the author of Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment. I met Dr. Valerie at an event late last year. I serendipitously sat at her table and as she was talking about her work and her book, I was enamored. In fact, I invited her onto the podcast on the spot. Her work is important, interesting, and backed by science. When it comes to the patriarchy, as women, there is a deeper issue going on then the blame game. We are not going to heal by pointing fingers. My conversation with Dr. Valerie is just one step of many that will help move women towards healing from the patriarchy. In this episode you'll hear: How Dr. Valerie discovered PSD and how her search began with asking the question, “What is wrong with me?” Oppression is traumatic and it is deep in our DNA Patriarchy does not equal men and men do not equal patriarchy, patriarchy is a system that has been oppressive and disempowering to women PSD is the invisible inner barrier to women's happiness and fulfillment and trauma defenses: mind, body, and action Some of the symptoms or circumstances of PSD (and yes, we all have it) Dr. Valerie's message to men and how to bring them into the conversation and still take care of ourselves Resources mentioned in this episode: Devotion program Andrea's Substack, How Very Human of You Sign up for my emails Instagram reel about men and shame Dr. Valerie Rein's websiteDr. Valerie's 3 Minute Re-Power ToolDr. Valerie on InstagramBook: Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment  Dr. Valerie Rein has discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the collective, inherited trauma of oppression. She holds an EdM in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University and a PhD in Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Her bestselling book, “Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment” and her cutting-edge mind-body healing programs have helped thousands of women ditch the game of survival, of “how much can I bear?” and master the game of thriving, of “how good can it get?” Dr. Valerie is a sought-after speaker and trainer at conferences and companies committed to setting new standards of excellence in their industry in diversity, equity, and inclusion, employee satisfaction and physical and mental health, and creativity and innovation.
