We drink alcohol to escape our reality. We use drugs to escape our reality. I explore the trauma and mental health problems that are the reasons for that need to escape. In this podcast, I interview guests that have gone through hell and back but kept going. In turn, they have transformed into human beings who love themselves, warts and all. Let me share with you how we manage to live a life that most of us could not even dream of in the midst of our trauma. The past does not equal the future. Every second gives you a new opportunity for change, and only you determine the right direction in your life.

    495 Jennifer Westcott: Wholeness Means Embracing Brokenness As Part Of Life

    About Jennifer Westcott Hi I'm Jen. I am a therapist, artist, mother, wife, friend. I am a woman devoted and passionate to making therapists the best they can be, the most supported and human and kind to themselves. the reason I believe so strongly in this is through my own journey through healing and encountering both great and awful therapy! As the mental health field becomes more needed than ever, it's essential to support therapists as HUMANS. We already know how to get supervision, we already know how to get training, but there are not nearly enough places to talk about the human experience of being a therapist; how it affects us and how we affect it. I grew up in an alcoholic, dysfunctional family that looked really good on the outside with professional parents and kids who were 'bright' and went far...but inside the family were secrets of incest and alcoholism. When I was 36 years old I suddenly remembered being sexually abused by my mother. I nearly went completely mad and definitely went quite mad. This started my journey to healing and sobriety and I continue to trudge daily. The help I needed took me to many therapists' couches, psychologist appointments, psychiatry appointments, alternative healing circles, and 12-step meetings. Through this inside experience, I became PASSIONAtE about what helps people and what doesn't. I changed my complete approach to being a therapist after being a client and NEEDING HELP and getting it, and not getting it. My job as a clinical supervisor and private therapist became an experiment in 'what helps' clients heal from trauma and addiction and I tried a LOT OF THINGS and still do! What I've learned for sure is this: therapists who are authentic, real, and human help clients profoundly. How then do I support therapists to KNOW their own stories and wounds and USE this knowledge to have a healing impact on their clients? How do I support therapists in breaking out of the mold they became trapped in during their graduate program and remembering the sacredness and marvel of human healing? Creating Therapist Sanctuary is my attempt to do this and to hold up therapists in the sacred and meaningful work they do. Also, shout out to my old mentor Stuart Smally from 90's SNL who 'was not an actual therapist but a member of many 12-step groups'. Stuart; I love you. 3 Top TipsPermission for therapists to be more vulnerable, making them love what they do more deny the culture of putting our 'best self forward', let's put our most wounded self forward too! Therapists support and hold each other up better than any cheesy self-care method that doesn't even work and that we try doing alone in the bath.

    493 Owen Marcus: Beyond Stress - Transforming Men & Lives Through Emotional Physiology

    Owen Marcus started helping men because he realized he needed help with his relationships. His 30-year journey from leading men’s groups led to writing a book, a documentary film on his work and starting three businesses that adapt the science behind stress and trauma therapy, attachment theory, and leadership development to train men to succeed in all their relationships.His work has been featured in Men’s Health, New York Times, The Today Show, ABC News, NPR, and more. Leading therapists such as Esther Perel and Sue Johnson have endorsed this work because of the sustainable change it produces. His passion for the work and the men it severs comes through the unique stories he has from decades of doing the work. Both men and women leave inspired and with a new frame to view men and how to help them.  3 Top TipsMy ROC Formula: slow down to Relax, Open up to vulnerability, and reach out for ConnectionHow we disconnect from our own experience or others is not our fault. Those coping mechanisms are survival strategies that have outlived their usefulness. We have a growing epidemic of drug use, suicides, loneliness, and despair in part because men as they get older don’t have real friends. We have found easy and fun ways for men to develop some of the deepest friendships of their lives. We are not therapy, addiction recovery, or suicide prevention services, but we have several men come out and say, if it wasn’t for this work, they would have killed themselves. We have created a scalable way for men to help men.  Social Mediahttp://instagram.com/meld.menhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/meldmenscommunity/https://www.linkedin.com/in/owenmarcus/https://twitter.com/meldmenhttps://www.facebook.com/meldmen

    492 Theodore Henderson: Learn How Light Is Repairing The Brain

    Theodore A. Henderson MD, PhD is president and founder of Neuro-Luminance Inc, which is bringing revolutionary treatments to bear upon traumatic brain injury, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, post-COVID fatigue syndrome, and other brain disorders. He holds three patents and three patents-pending. Dr. Henderson is president of the International Society of Applied Neuroimaging. He has published in neuroimaging, psychopharmacology, dementia, photobiomodulation, and traumatic brain injury. He has over 70 publications in top research journals and has been cited in over 900 scientific papers. His recent book, Brighter Days Ahead is featured on Amazon. Dr. Henderson will help you rethink brain disorders like depression and brain injury and introduce you to exciting new treatments which actually activate the brain’s own healing process.  I am Dr. Theodore Henderson - psychiatrist. My work is focused on innovative treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders. These include ketamine infusion therapy (more on this below), multi-Watt infrared light therapy, antiviral therapy, and anti-inflammation therapy. My approaches shake up the foundations of what cause psychiatric illnesses. Gone are the chemical imbalance theories. It is infections, inflammation, and degenerative disease that cause most psychiatric conditions. I recently published a book, Brighter Days Ahead: Leaving Depression Behind Through Innovative New Treatments. In it, I explore ketamine in some depth - but more as a model for how the brain responds to depression and PTSD.I explore other innovative treatments, including multi-watt infrared light therapy (LUMIT) - which powerfully activates neuroplasticity. I would love to enlighten your audience to LUMIT as a new treatment approach. Literally, using light as a treatment. There is nothing purer than light. LUMIT treatment is curing...yes, curing...Long COVID. Patients who could not climb a flight of stairs or think, who had to take a leave of absence from work, who tried many other treatments with no benefit - are now back to working, hiking, running, and living their life.We have seen amazing improvement in PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), depression, and anxiety symptoms in our patients using LUMIT therapy, whether they are veterans, first-responders, or civilians. Also, I feel the role of viruses in depression, anxiety, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological conditions is grossly underappreciated and ignored by Medicine. 3 top tips- depression is not a chemical imbalance. It is degeneration of the brain. Fortunately, it is reversible.- traumatic brain injury can be healed. As long as the brain cells are alive, they can be reinvigorated, reactivated, and repaired. Light is the treatment.- Long COVID has a treatment. Light is the answer.  www.neuro-luminance.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@NeuroLuminancehttps://www.tiktok.com/@doctheodorehenderson/ Mention the show and get your first treatment for free!
