Welcome back to Therapy Chat! In the last of the interviews from Psychotherapy Networker Symposium in March 2024, I was fortunate to have a deep conversation with my friend and colleague Dr. Leslie Korn. Leslie has been a guest on Therapy Chat previously and I've learned so much from her about integrative nutrition and trauma. This time we talked about the intersection between childhood trauma, "dis-ease," "dis-orders," autoimmune responses, integrative nutrition and overall health and wellbeing. I talked about my own journey with a health crisis between 2015 and 2019 and what I've learned since then. We touched on attachment, developmental trauma, hormones, autoimmune responses, integrative nutrition and mental health, among many other things, in this fascinating conversation!Work with Leslie via her website here. Check out Dr. Leslie Korn's trainings and other offerings related to trauma and integrative nutrition via the PESI/Psychotherapy Networker partner page and get special discounts! Watch this episode in video format on YouTube!TIME SENSITIVE INFO FOR TRAUMA THERAPISTS: *Trauma Therapists*, my membership community, TTN is NOW OPEN until June 7th, 2024 !

Dr. Janina Fisher discusses shame as a somatic adaptation to trauma and attachment wounds, highlighting how therapists can effectively work with shame. The conversation explores the insidious nature of shame, its impact on healing journeys, and the challenges it presents in therapy sessions. Fisher emphasizes the importance of understanding shame for authentic living and overcoming self-destructive beliefs.

This week's episode, recorded live at Psychotherapy Networker in March, features a very special guest: Dr. Shawna Murray Browne, LCSW-C. I was so fortunate to spend time with Shawna as she spoke about what the process of decolonization and reconnecting to the land can look like. Her course, Decolonizing Therapy for Black Folks, was so deeply impactful for me, and I barely scratched the surface of it beginning four years ago. In our conversation we both shared about our personal experiences during our journeys toward decolonization, touching on many meaningful milestones along the way. I deeply admire Dr. Shawna Murray Browne, LCSW-C and I hope you will be equally inspired when you listen to or watch this episode of Therapy Chat. Listen to our conversation to learn about Shawna's training program in her Liberatory framework teaching therapists to recognize how our field is influenced by colonization and what we can do to begin working from a decolonization perspective. She speaks about how trauma can be transcended through this collective healing process and how she works with leaders and organizations to decolonize their ways of practicing. She paints an optimistic and hopeful picture of the resources available to assist those who don't have the means to access therapy, and describes some of the many valuable community resources available in her home city of Baltimore.Learn about the School for Liberation Focused Healing: (home of DTBF and group coaching for therapists and wellness practitioners)Find consultation for organizations at https://kindredwellness.net For access to oral histories, and resources for leaders looking for support in reconnecting to the land, go to: https://shawnamurraybrowne.comFind Dr. Shawna on Instagram; Find Cllctivly at https://cllctivly.org/*Trauma Therapists*, my membership community opens for new members later in May!
