I am excited to bring back someone who has become a podcast staple on ‘The Imagination’: Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider, Licensed Professional Counselor, Founder of Survivor Support, Podcast host of own podcast and channel, @JonKUhlerLPC, on YouTube, father of 3, husband to his high school sweetheart, survivor advocate, and someone you all heavily requested to bring back: Jon Uhler.
In case you are new here or missed Jon’s briefing on his background on the first episode we did together, here is a short recap of Jon’s many accolades and credentials: Jon’s work began over 30 years ago, and the evolution of his career path is nothing short of astonishing. His education includes attending Epic Bible College, Biola University, Talbot School of Theology, and California State University, and Fullerton. He’s worked in both clinical and administrative capacities, outpatient and hospital settings, intensive day treatment settings, residential treatment programs, and in secure (locked) facilities - including over 11 years on Psychology Staff within the Pennsylvania Dept. of Corrections where he’s logged more clinical contact hours within Solitary Confinement than any Psych Staff in the entire US. Prior to his work with incarcerated men, he spent years working with sexual abuse Survivors, and treating Severely Emotionally Disturbed adolescents in group homes and within the largest intensive psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility for troubled youth west of the MIssissippi.
When Jon is not providing professional therapy or podcasting, he serves in an advocacy role, toward helping increase safety for vulnerable women and minors, who are being placed in harm's way by those pushing dangerous ideologies, public policies, and legislation.
Jon has been doing a series of extremely valuable episodes on ‘The Imagination’ around the topics of therapy for survivors, what to expect going into therapy as a survivor, working with patients with dissociative identity disorder, the path to healing for wounded warriors, and most recently - learning about a survivor’s internal system through a brilliant presentation he created that we will be diving deeper into today.
This series has gotten such incredible feedback and has become a valuable resource for survivors, therapists and advocates to learn about the intricacies of complex trauma and the appropriate routes to take for healing and getting help. There is a lack of compassion and understanding in therapeutic academia fortherapists who may come across survivors of satanic ritual abuse, mind control and extreme abuse and Jon’s work over the last couple decades is helping to paint a bright and hopeful picture for the therapeutic community as a whole to understand what universities and traditional academia has left unsaid about how trauma actually impacts the body and mind. It also gives me hope that this series will help empower survivors to feel confident going into therapy with the tools Jon provides to help identify therapists who are ready to help along with questions to ask and a general idea of what to expect.
