    Perfectionism Explained: Individual And Group Psychotherapy Interventions

    Perfectionism often looks like success. Underneath, it can feel like fear, shame, and constant pressure to prove worth.   In this episode of Self Careapist Therapist, I sit down with Dr. Paul L. Hewitt, Professor in the Department of Psychology and in The Psychotherapy Program, Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia, to examine perfectionism as a deeply relational pattern. We discuss how perfectionism develops, how it fuels anxiety, depression, and suicidality, and why cognitive techniques alone rarely shift it. Dr. Hewitt outlines the distinctions between self-oriented, other-oriented, and socially prescribed perfectionism, highlighting how socially prescribed perfectionism often drives shame and hopelessness. Treating perfectionism means addressing the fear of rejection beneath performance, not just the performance itself. Challenge the way you conceptualize perfectionism in your sessions. Tune in to the full episode of Perfectionism Explained: Individual And Group Psychotherapy Interventions. Dr. Paul L. Hewitt is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and in The Psychotherapy Program, Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia, and a registered clinical psychologist in British Columbia. Internationally recognized for his pioneering work on perfectionism as a core vulnerability factor in psychopathology, he has published over 300 scholarly works on assessment, treatment, and psychotherapy process. He developed Dynamic-Relational Therapy for Perfectionism (DRT-P), an evidence-based individual and group treatment supported by randomized controlled trials and outcome research. Dr. Hewitt emphasizes relational, process-oriented approaches that address transdiagnostic risk factors and their impact on therapeutic outcomes.                  Lorain Moorehead is a therapist, consultant, and EMDR Certified, EMDRIA‑approved consultant specializing in trauma‑informed care and EMDR integration.

    Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Explained: How It Works, Types, Safety, and EMDR Integration

    There are moments in therapy when the nervous system needs support to loosen its grip so healing can actually take hold.   In this episode of The Self Careapist Therapist, I’m joined by Amanda Baker, LCSW and founder of True North Ethics, to discuss ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. We break down how ketamine works in the brain, the different methods including lozenge and low-dose psycholytic approaches, and why preparation and integration are helpful components.  We also explore why KAP and EMDR integrate so naturally. Both approaches support new neural pathways and reduce the defensive load that can stall trauma processing. When combined thoughtfully, ketamine can make EMDR more tolerable without disconnecting the client from the present moment.   Also discussed: clinical supervision, integrating ethics into clinical practice, and case conceptualización.  Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Explained: How It Works, Types, Safety, and EMDR Integration.      Enjoy the podcast?

    Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality with Dr. David Jobes

    Some of the most profound work we do as therapists begins not with intervention, but with presence.   In this episode of The Self Careapist Therapist, I sit down with David Jobes, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at The Catholic University of America, to explore what it looks like to shift from fear-based to evidence-informed care especially when suicide risk is on the table. We walk through the structure and philosophy behind Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS).  Rooted in clinical research and human connection, CAMS centers the client as an expert on their own experience and challenges outdated practices that often do more harm than good. Dr. David offers decades of insight and compassion, making this conversation especially relevant for clinicians working in trauma, EMDR, or high-intensity practice settings. Take 30 minutes today to rethink what suicide prevention can actually look like. Watch the full episode of Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality.               Enjoy the podcast?

    Regulate, Relate and Reason: A Deep Dive into Dr. Bruce Perry's Neurosequential Model

    What if the key to understanding your mental health and relationships lies in how your brain developed from the very beginning? I'm joined by Michelle Maikoetter, LPC from the Neurosequential Network, to demystify the Neurosequential Model developed by Dr. Bruce Perry. We explore how our earliest experiences, from in utero through childhood, shape our capacity for self-regulation, connection, and reasoning in adulthood. This conversation is a deep dive into the 'regulate, relate, reason' framework, revealing why we often struggle with emotional healing and how we can sequence our support for true mental wellness. We also discuss the vital role of rhythm, relational health, and creating healing environments, even in our workplaces. Listen now to explore how this transformative lens can change your understanding of your own healing journey and your approach to therapy. 0:00 - Intro 1:44 - Michelle’s personal journey discovering the Neurosequential Model 4:18 - Why the model is a transformational lens for all of life 5:15 - The core tenets of brain development and early childhood impact 7:48 - How the Neurosequential assessment differs from a standard diagnosis 9:36 - Understanding bottom-up brain development 10:57 - Why we must sequence interventions, starting with sensory activities 13:57 - Breaking down the ‘Regulate, Relate, Reason’ framework 19:15 - The essential self-exploration and personal transformation in learning the model 21:38 - The key components of regulation and creating a balanced system 29:51 - How to create a relational and supportive workplace culture 33:32 - The profound relevance of rhythm to regulation and connection 46:39 - The role of empathy and shared humanity in this work 49:57 - How to learn more about the Neurosequential Model Episode Highlights: The brain develops sequentially, and experiences from in utero to age three have a disproportionate impact on its organization.Our capacity for regulation, relationship, and reason is built upon foundational neural pathways laid down in our earliest years.To be effective, interventions must be sequenced developmentally, often starting with sensory and regulatory activities before cognitive work.The "Regulate, Relate, Reason" framework reflects the biological order in which our brain processes information.We cannot be relational or access our reasoning cortex when we are in a dysregulated, reactive state.Self-care is about maintaining a consistent baseline of arousal so we aren't overly reactive to daily stressors.Rhythm is a powerful and often overlooked regulatory tool, intertwined with our earliest developmental experiences.When someone is struggling, the goal should be to increase both structure and relational support, not withdraw connection.True empathy requires us to be in a regulated space to imagine another's experience and acknowledge our shared humanity.For change to be sustainable in any system, the leadership and environment muThe Self Careapist Therapist Podcast is a biweekly conversation with Lorain Moorehead, LCSW a therapist in private practice.

    A Therapist's Toolkit for Working with Anxious teens with Sophia Vale Galano, LCSW

    In this episode, I sit down with clinical social worker and author Sophia Vale Galano to discuss her newly released book, Calming Teenage Anxiety: A Parent's Guide to Helping Your Teenager Cope with Worry (published by Hatherley Press, distributed by Penguin Random House). Sophia shares practical tools and strategies for parents navigating teenage anxiety, exploring the unique challenges teens face today including academic stress, social media pressures, and delayed developmental stages post-COVID. We discuss how parents can shift from fixing and controlling to coaching and collaborating, and why curiosity and open-ended questions are a parent's best friend. In this conversation, we explore: How to distinguish between typical teenage behavior and clinical anxietyThe importance of tracking patterns with curiosity rather than judgmentWhy social media isn't all bad (and how to help teens find the positive)Moving from directive parenting to a coaching approachThe developmental delays we're seeing post-COVID and what that means for familiesHow well-intentioned parenting can accidentally push teens awayPractical phrases and approaches parents can use todayKey takeaway: Sometimes what looks like typical teenage moodiness requires a closer look. By tracking how often and to what extent a teen is struggling, parents can better understand when it's time for additional support. Sophia also shares her publishing journey, offering insights for aspiring authors on how to navigate the process without a literary agent and turn your message into a book that helps people. About Sophia Vale Galano: Sophia is an LCSW who has been working with teens and their families for nearly 11 years in private practice, residential treatment centers, and school settings. Her book provides a compassionate, practical blueprint for parents who want to support their anxious teens.

    Healing Through ACT: A Trauma Journey with Dr. Darrah Westrup and Dr. Robyn Walser

    You Are Not Your Trauma: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Healing In this episode, I'm joined by two remarkable clinicians who together have over 60 years of combined experience working with trauma: Dr. Darrah Westrup and Dr. Robin Walser. These two have been collaborating for nearly two decades and three books. Their latest book, "You Are Not Your Trauma" published by Guilford Press, offers something different from traditional trauma treatments. While many approaches focus primarily on symptom reduction, Darrah and Robin take us further—into the territory of meaning, values, and vitality. They're not just asking "How do we make the pain go away?" but rather "How do you want to live your life, even while carrying a difficult history?" In this conversation, we explore: What Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is and why it's so effective for trauma workThe three pillars of ACT: Open, Aware, and EngagedThe paradox of avoidance—how our natural instinct to run from pain can actually keep us stuck in itWhy battling trauma is like swatting at a bee—you might survive if you let it pass, but once you engage in battle, things escalateThe distinction between the self that experiences trauma and the experiences themselvesHow values don't compete and don't depend on historyWhy trauma survivors don't need to wait until symptoms disappear to start living meaningful livesPowerful stories from this conversation: A client who spent 30 years stuck in a trauma story, believing they couldn't move forward until the trauma was "resolved"—and the breakthrough that came from accepting that history only goes in one directionA survivor of childhood sexual trauma who discovered that new memories surfacing no longer frightened her because she realized: "I'm larger than that"A veteran who learned his values were still available to him, regardless of what he'd seen or doneDarrah's personal experience with a visualization exercise that changed everything for herAbout our guests: Dr. Darrah Westrup began her career at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, where she was director of a 90-day residential treatment program for military women with trauma and severe PTSD. She has been working with ACT since her dissertation work and brought ACT into residential treatment for the first time in 2000. Dr. Robin Walser worked at the National Center for PTSD and studied under Dr. Steve Hayes, the developer of ACT, at the University of Washington. She was part of Dr. Marsha Linehan's DBT team during graduate school and has been practicing ACT since 1991.
