The Therapy Insights Podcast

The Therapy Insights Podcast offers tools and insights for SLPs, PTs, and OTs working with patients who are experiencing some of the most difficult medical challenges of their lives. In a poll of an interdisciplinary SLP/OT/PT Facebook forum, only about 30% of clinicians reported that they were provided with the opportunity to take a graduate level class focused on counseling techniques to address grief, trauma, and major life transitions. This podcast aims to broaden the scope of understanding by SLPs, PTs, and OTs of current best practices within the counseling community in order to optimize and strengthen the medical field as a whole when it comes to rehabilitation and mental health.

    12: Neurocognitive Dysfunction After Sedation with Dr. Seyed Safavynia

    Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) are a group of cognitive disorders that manifest in relation to surgery and anesthesia (Evered et al., 2018a) and encompass former classifications of perioperative cognitive impairments, including postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). PND are common following anesthesia and surgery, affecting up to 65% of adults over age 65 years (Rudolph and Marcantonio, 2011).   In this episode, we discuss: - What post operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is and the shift towards new nomenclature that aligns with the DSM-V and new ICD-10 codes. - Risk factors for developing perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND). - What therapists can do to contribute to a proactive interdisciplinary approach to manage perioperative neurocognitive disorders when they do occur.  - A proposed brain ERAS (Enhanced Recovery after Surgery) protocol to reduce the risk of PND.

  2. 11: Providing Therapy in Chaos: What We Can Learn from Lebanese Therapists

    11: Providing Therapy in Chaos: What We Can Learn from Lebanese Therapists

    In this episode, the Cultural Expansion Cooperative speaks with Zahya Ghaddar, SLP and PhD Candidate based in Beirut, Lebanon. A little background for this episode: On August 4, 2020, a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the Port of Beirut in the capital city of Lebanon accidentally exploded, causing at least 218 deaths, 7,000 injuries, and $15 billion U.S. dollars in property damage, leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless. The blast physically shook the entire country of Lebanon. It was felt in Turkey, Syria, Palestine, and Israel, as well as parts of Europe, and was heard in Cyprus, more than 150 miles away. It was detected by the United States Geological Survey as a seismic event of magnitude 3.3, and is considered one of the most powerful accidental artificial non-nuclear explosions in history. Additionally, Lebanon is experiencing an economic crisis related to inflation caused by a significant decline in the country’s GDP. The Lebanese pound has lost more than 90% of its value, driving up the cost of almost everything in a country reliant on imports, and demolishing purchasing power. A soldier's monthly wage, once the equivalent of $900, is now worth about $50. Poverty rates are sky-rocketing in the population of about 6.5 million, with around 80% of people classed as poor. Lebanon's banks are paralysed. Savers have been frozen out of U.S. dollar accounts. Withdrawals in local currency apply exchange rates that erase up to 80% of the value. Reliant on imported fuel, Lebanon is facing an energy crunch. Even before the crisis, power was in short supply, including in the capital. Now households are lucky to receive more than a few hours a day. Fuel prices have soared. A ride in a shared taxi, a popular form of transport, cost 2,000 pounds before the crisis but now costs about 40,000 pounds. Lebanese have emigrated in the most significant exodus since the civil war. Believing their savings are lost, many have no plans to return. A 2021 Gallup poll found a record 63% of people surveyed wanted to leave permanently, up from 26% before the crisis. Among those leaving are doctors. The World Health Organization has said most hospitals are operating at 50% capacity. It says around 40% of doctors, mostly specialists, and 30% of nurses have permanently emigrated or are working part-time abroad. All of this data is from a Reuters article titled, “Just how bad is Lebanon's economic meltdown?” published on June 23, 2022. This not only to provides context for Zahya’s references in her interview, but also reminds us that we are globally connected and as a global profession, we can work to support each other and advocate for our field beyond national borders. We want to recognize the hard work that all Lebanese therapists are contributing to their communities right now, even in the face of fuel, medication, food, and wifi shortages. We all have a lot to learn from you in regards to being resourceful, resilient, and responsive to community needs.

    10: Curriculum Transformation Toward a Black, African-First Framework

    In this podcast episode, learn more about Mershen Pillay’s mission to transform curriculum to work within a Black African-first framework. From our guest, Mershen Pillay: "I went to the only Black university in South Africa that trained audiologists and speech therapists… it was what was called a 'struggle' university so it had a strong political, sort of historical link to resisting racist policies in South Africa… and so when I looked at my class- that’s who I saw: other brown people… But everything that we were taught came from North America and Western Europe, and so I literally didn’t see anything of myself in those textbooks and journal articles… our training was very white-Euro-centric. Years later, I went backpacking through Europe and landed in London. I got into a job a few days later, and it was all familiar."

    09: Doesn’t Want to Stay Here, Not Safe to Go Home with Emily LoPiccolo

    In this episode, we explore the following (fictional) case study: Alejandro is a 55 yo male who was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of 48. He was taken to the emergency room due to a fall in his home that resulted in mild head trauma as well as a broken wrist. A friend hadn’t heard from him in a couple of days and found him on the floor. After his acute stay in the hospital, he was taken to a post-acute care facility. While working with a team of speech, occupational, and physical therapists, the therapy team learns that he has no running water at home and that he uses a bucket for a toilet. He has a dog that he has been unable to get outside recently and so urine and feces has been collecting in the house. Alejandro is also worried about his dog and is wondering if anyone is taking care of him. When asked what he eats at home, it’s unclear if he has consistent access to food. He is quite private and is wary of others entering his home and is not willing to do a home eval. He wants to go home as soon as possible.

    08: A System-Level Response to TBIs Among the Incarcerated Population with Risa Klemme and Mark Harniss

    Until now, people who are incarcerated have not been screened for TBIs. We know that TBIs can cause changes in behavior and personality that can lead to incarceration, and once inside, make it more difficult to fully heal and functionally return to the community. The Washington Department of Corrections is one of the first, if not the first, state correctional agencies in the U.S. to implement a system-level response to TBIs among the incarcerated population. How did this happen? Through a persistent effort to build relationships, foster inter-agency collaboration, and a strong commitment to sustaining the mental health resources necessary to build and grow a program that supports a TBI screening program, cognitive skills training program, and peer mentoring program. This is a fascinating and deeply inspiring conversation with Risa Klemme, ADA compliance manager for the Department of Corrections, and Dr. Mark Harniss, Associate Professor in Rehabilitation Medicine, Director of the Center for Technology and Disability Studies, and Director of the UW Disability Studies Program. When people come together to change massive systems bit by bit, we all get collectively closer to our shared humanity. A heartfelt thank you to Risa and Dr. Harniss for their time and devotion, not only to this podcast episode, but to their legacy of collaboratively building the TBI program in the state of Washington.

    06: Jessie Hillock and the Holistic Approach to Dementia Care

    People with dementia generally do not have the insight or awareness to seek help from therapists. Often, it's family members who first attempt to reach out for help. And even though family members need significant support, they are often left out of traditional therapy models due to the nature of the healthcare system, including billing practices and insurance coverage. Join us as we explore Jessie Hillock's revolutionary practice of providing structured, holistic dementia coaching for families as well as therapeutic support for individuals as they collectively embark on the journey of living with a dementia diagnosis in their midst.

    05: Rich Temple and the Hidden Power of Listening

    So often in healthcare settings, providers feel the need to dish out answers in response to diagnoses. But is this what patients actually need or want? Dr. Rich Temple is a neuropsychologist in the field of rehabilitation medicine. He believes that one of the best kept secrets in therapy is the power of not having all of the answers. Join us as we discuss how existing in a space of solving patients' problems for them actually thwarts patient-centered care. We also talk about how to truly listen and honor a patient's story and wishes, how to prevent burnout across a career, and how interdisciplinary collaboration and advocacy for integrated mental health services can lead to more impactful and holistic healthcare for all.

    04 - Katrina Mikiah and the Human Capacity for Presence

    How do we as rehabilitation therapists hold space for those who are facing immense grief or life-altering/life-ending diagnoses? Katrina Mikiah is a life, grief, and end-of-life coach. She says that it's not about having a tricked out pack of counseling techniques, but rather much more about our own awareness of our feelings and our ability to be present. Join us as we discuss the difference between a counselor and a coach, the many ways to hold space and be present, and the tools we can offer clients and families to make these kinds of transitions less turbulent and more in line with their life goals and wishes.

    03 - Josh Rubin, James Laskin, and the Learning Health System

    What would it look like if, as a healthcare system, we were able to draw from data points from real experiences of real people around the world? What if we could magnify the power of existing medical research methods by incorporating a broader range of people, experiences, and perspectives, including those of practicing clinicians? One of the biggest challenges we face is bridging the gap between clinical research and clinical practice. The concept of the learning health system is not one magical platform that offers to solve this problem, but rather it is a way of thinking, of collaborating, and of experiencing the world that has the potential to radically transform healthcare. Join us in our conversation with Josh Rubin, program officer for learning health system initiatives at the University of Michigan Medical School’s first-in-the-nation Department of Learning Health Sciences, president and CEO of the Learning Health Community, and executive director of the Joseph H. Kanter Family Foundation. James Laskin, DPT also joins in on the conversation to provide the perspective of both a clinical research and a practicing clinician. Ready to have your mind shift and start answering some of the biggest questions of our time? So are we.
