    Perfectionism Explained: Individual And Group Psychotherapy Interventions

    What if perfectionism has nothing to do with wanting things done well? Dr. Paul L. Hewitt, Full Professor of Psychology at the University of British Columbia, researcher, and co-author of Perfectionism: A Relational Approach to Conceptualization, Assessment, and Treatment, joins the podcast to reframe perfectionism as a deeply relational personality style born out of unmet attachment needs. This conversation covers the development of perfectionism through early relational asynchrony, how it functions differently from conscientiousness or high standards, what Dynamic-Relational Therapy for Perfectionism looks like in practice, and what clinicians should know about the depth of pain underneath a high-functioning exterior. The episode also covers new research on how perfectionism in therapists affects the therapeutic alliance. 0:00 - Intro and Dr. Hewitt's background 0:54 - How a dentist's waiting room started a research career 2:30 - Personal connection to perfectionism through classical music training 3:17 - Defining perfectionism as a personality style rather than a set of attitudes 4:03 - The unmet relational and esteem needs underneath perfectionism 8:18 - Whether perfectionism concentrates in one area or crosses all life domains 11:55 - Why achievement fails to correct the core wound (case example) 14:06 - Links to attachment theory and early developmental asynchrony 22:51 - Perfectionism in high-achieving professionals and entrepreneurs 27:20 - The wrong tool: an elegant but ultimately childlike solution to deep pain 28:21 - How treatment parallels the challenge of exposure work in OCD 30:56 - Distinguishing clinical perfectionism from conscientiousness and high standards 32:20 - The vulnerability piece: procrastination and never getting started 33:35 - Dr. Hewitt's concerns about symptom-based classification systems 36:14 - What typically brings someone to therapy for perfectionism 38:29 - The tenets of Dynamic-Relational Therapy for Perfectionism 40:54 - How the therapeutic relationship becomes the vehicle for change 42:37 - Treatment length and the 30-session research benchmark 43:46 - The clinician workshop training model explained 54:24 - The perfectionism book and the new paperback edition 57:38 - The depth of pain underneath high-functioning clients 59:44 - Concealment, imposter syndrome, and the hidden self 1:01:00 - Research on perfectionism in therapists and its impact on the alliance Episode Highlights: Perfectionism is a layered, complex personality style rooted in unmet needs for love, acceptance, and personal worth, not a drive for high standards. The core dynamic is a deeply human need to feel acceptable to others and worthy as a self, which perfectionism attempts to solve through a strategy that can never deliver what it promises.

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

    What happens when two EMDR practitioners who trained together start comparing notes on ketamine? Amanda Baker, LCSW, a clinical social worker at Mindful Springs Counseling in Colorado Springs, joins the conversation to break down ketamine-assisted psychotherapy from the ground up. We explore the striking overlap in neural mechanisms between ketamine and EMDR, walk through the preparation and integration framework, and discuss the virtual group model Amanda ran to make CAP more accessible. She also addresses safety, contraindications, the prescriber relationship, what the training landscape looks like for therapists who want to get started, and why the answer to helping people is rarely about holding on to every client. 0:00 - Intro and Amanda's background 1:21 - Amanda's varied social work career and path to therapy 3:07 - Arrival at Mindful Springs and first exposure to ketamine 5:06 - EMDR training origins and how both modalities connect 9:28 - Moving past skepticism about psychedelics 12:24 - The neural mechanism behind ketamine and how it mirrors EMDR 14:13 - Types of ketamine delivery methods explained 18:00 - What preparation and integration look like in practice 24:21 - Building partnerships with prescribers 28:10 - The virtual ketamine group model 33:08 - The role of chaperones and reparative attachment 34:04 - Conditions the research supports treating with CAP 35:44 - Safety, contraindications, and the high-profile misuse case 40:37 - The history of psychedelics and ketamine's pharmaceutical origins 46:27 - Training resources and how to get started 49:51 - The social work mindset and connecting clients to the right provider 53:32 - Amanda's self-care and ethics-based consultation practice Episode Highlights: Ketamine and EMDR appear to share a neural mechanism, both promoting new neural development and activating overlapping brain regions associated with relaxation and healing. The types of ketamine treatment range from IV infusion and intramuscular injection to oral lozenges and esketamine nasal spray, with differing levels of psychedelic intensity and varying degrees of therapist involvement. Preparation and integration are not optional steps surrounding the dosing session. They are the therapeutic architecture that makes the experience meaningful and the outcomes lasting. A 24 to 48 hour window after a dosing session is the most active period for neural growth and integration, making timely follow-up a clinical priority. Low-dose psycholytic ketamine keeps clients alert and conversational, making it highly compatible with active therapeutic work during the session itself. A prescriber who is willing to write a prescription without speaking with the treating therapist first is a significant red flag. Contraindications include active psychosis or schizoaffective conditions, unregulated hypertension or thyroid disorders, significant cardiac irregularities, and pro The Self Careapist Therapist Podcast is a biweekly conversation with Lorain Moorehead, LCSW a therapist in private practice.

    Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality with Dr. David Jobes

    What would it look like if we actually asked suicidal clients what was making them suicidal and then treated that? Dr. David Jobes, professor of psychology at The Catholic University of America, director of the CUA Suicide Prevention Lab, and developer of the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), joins the podcast to challenge the dominant medical model response to suicidality and make the case for a better way. This conversation covers the history and structure of CAMS, the evidence behind it, how it compares to the safety plan, why the research on hospitalization should change how clinicians think about least-restrictive care, how CAMS works with adolescents, and the full range of training options available today, including the brief intervention model for inpatient and emergency settings. 0:00 - Intro and Dr. Jobes's background 0:57 - How a philosophy background led to 43 years in suicide research 3:09 - What came before modern suicide prevention 4:00 - The medical model problem and why hospitalization often increases risk 7:01 - Autonomy, agency, and why containment tends to backfire 9:38 - How CAMS works: the Suicide Status Form and the collaborative assessment 11:36 - Identifying drivers and building a treatment plan around them 15:50 - The relationship between CAMS and DBT 19:48 - Safety planning vs. the Crisis Response Plan: what the research actually shows 23:04 - The marketing problem and how DBT became world famous while better-evidenced tools stayed obscure 24:03 - Types of drivers: relational, vocational, and self-related 27:23 - Suicidal ideation rates post-COVID and what the data shows 30:12 - CAMS is effective at any level of ideation, not only crisis presentations 33:07 - How to get started: the Guilford Press book, CAMS Care training, and consultation 38:47 - The CAMS Brief Intervention model for inpatient and emergency settings 39:49 - Empath units as a model for humane emergency psychiatric care 41:21 - Training for teams, systems of care, and discounts for training programs 45:07 - Fidelity, training hubs, and the international reach of CAMS 48:12 - What CAMS adds that individual clinicians may not be getting in their training 51:09 - CAMS with adolescents: autonomy, existential drivers, and the Stabilization Support Plan for parents 55:16 - Grant support, funding shifts, and how to reach CAMS Care 56:32 - Dr. Jobes on self-care and consultation as an ethical and clinical requirement Episode Highlights: CAMS is a framework, not a new psychotherapy. Clinicians of any theoretical orientation can use it without abandoning their existing approach. The core of CAMS is a collaborative therapeutic assessment in which the clinician takes a figurative seat next to the client to complete the Suicide Status Form together, with the client as the primary author. The framework asks the client directly what makes them suicidal, t The Self Careapist Therapist Podcast is a biweekly conversation with Lorain Moorehead, LCSW a therapist in private practice.

    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.

    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.
