My guest today is Dr. Nazanin Moali, an internationally-recognized AASECT certified psychologist, educator, and host of Sexology Podcast. We talked about the impact of menopause on mental health and Nazanin shared from the sex therapist perspective. We discussed the hormonal, mood and libido-related symptoms of menopause. This episode is important for every therapist to listen to and reflect on our level of comfort around speaking with clients about sex and menopause. TakeawaysMenopause can have a significant impact on mental health and sexual well-being.It is important for therapists to create a safe space for clients to discuss menopause and its effects.Expanding the definition of sex and exploring different sexual experiences can help individuals navigate changes during menopause.Therapists should convey their openness to discussing menopause and sexual health to help clients feel comfortable bringing up these topics.Find Dr. Nazanin Moali's podcast, Sexology, here! Follow Sexology on Instagram @sexologypodcastJoin the TTN e-mail list to learn what's coming up in 2024 with Therapy Chat, Trauma Chat and Trauma Therapist Network and get my free PDF 5 Common Mistakes People Make When Searching For A Trauma Therapist here!We are accepting new clients in my therapy practice (for those located in Maryland).

I'm going back to listen again and take more notes!

417: Healing Childhood Trauma Through Psychodrama Structures with Linda Thai, LMSW

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week I'm thrilled to bring you the last interview Linda Thai, LMSW, RYT-200, CLYL and I did in 2023.

I'm so excited to be heading to San Francisco, CA in February to witness one of Linda's Psychodrama Structures retreats in February 2024. I feel honored to be able to assist my friend and teacher and I'm sure I'll have much to share after experiencing that!

415: What Therapists Don't Know About Adoption Can Hurt Their Clients - With Brooke Randolph

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week we have a returning guest, Brooke Randolph, LPC, LMHC, LPCC-S, an adoptive parent, therapist and advocate for the members of the adoption constellation, who is also the author of several books and a Brainspotting trainer. This conversation explores the complex and often overlooked aspects of adoption, focusing on the experiences of adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents. I talk about my journey of learning about adoption as a therapist, and we talk about the need for a deeper understanding of the subject. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by adoptees and the impact of adoption on identity and mental health. It also highlights the role of colonization, patriarchy, classism, and racism in the Western adoption system. The episode emphasizes the importance for therapists to educate themselves about adoption to better support their clients. Resources and related episodes are provided for further exploration. Here's some of what we covered:Adoption is a complex topic that requires a deeper understanding and exploration of its various aspects.Adoptees often face unique challenges, including higher rates of suicide and the conflicting feelings about searching for their birth parents.The experiences and perspectives of adoptive parents and birth parents can differ significantly, leading to confusion and distress for adoptees.Colonization, patriarchy, classism, and racism play a role in the Western adoption system and should be considered when discussing adoption.Follow Brooke on Social Media here: Instagram, Facebook + LinkedInVisit Brooke's website to purchase her books and learn more about her work here: https://brooke-randolph.com/Learn more about the upcoming training 2/29/24-3/2/24 with Brooke Randolph and Dr. Abby Hasberry, a transracial adoptee and birth mother, therapist, educator and author, and register here (I'll be there all 3 days!):for days 1-2 only: https://brooke-randolph.com/consultation-training/adoption-competency-training/for days 1-3: https://brooke-randolph.com/consultation-training/brainspotting-training/brainspotting-with-adoption-specialty-training/Listen to previous Therapy Chat Episodes on adoption/attachment trauma here:Episode 303 - combining two past episodes with Amy SugenoEpisode 414 - Breaking Intergenerational Cycles of Trauma with Dr. Mariel BuquéEpisode 351 - Family Secrets + Intergenerational Trauma with Dr. Galit AtlasEpisode 257 - Inherited Family Trauma with Mark WolynJoin my e-mail list to learn what's coming up in 2024 with Therapy Chat and Trauma Therapist Network and get my free PDF 5 Common Mistakes People Make When Searching For A Trauma Therapist here!We are accepting new clients in my therapy practice (for those located in Maryland).

413: Reflections On 2023 - Darkness + Light

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! As 2023 comes to an end I wanted to reflect upon the year and what I learned through my experiences. Life always includes highs and lows, light and darkness. This year in my personal and professional life (so basically my whole life), there was more darkness than light. Yet upon reflection, there were so many glimmers of light within the dark times. In this episode I share my personal journey dealing with grief and loss in my personal life and how it made it difficult to keep going in my businesses. I carried a heavy burden of shame and self-blame - things just kept getting worse and worse, and I wondered how I’d be able to bear it. And things slowly, gradually, turned around, and are getting better day by day. I shared some plans for the coming year, including training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and EMDR. Thank you to all of you who listen and support Therapy Chat. My hope in sharing more of my personal experience over the last year is to provide encouragement to any listeners who may need a reminder to keep going, even when you feel like there is no hope. Sometimes when everything seems really dark you can't see a way out, and eventually, a way appears if you just keep moving forward the best you can. Link to article by Dr. Pat Ogden and Dr. Janina Fisher: Appreciating Your StrengthsJoin my e-mail list to learn what's coming up in 2024 with Therapy Chat and Trauma Therapist Network and get my free PDF 5 Common Mistakes People Make When Searching For A Trauma Therapist here!We are accepting new clients in my therapy practice (for those located in Maryland).

411: Imbalanced Power Dynamics In Relationships - Overcoming Codependency With Michelle Farris

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! We all know people who'll do anything for others but never accept help for themselves. In fact, they never admit needing any help, despite being very attuned to how everyone around them is doing. These relationships feel out of balance, and limit both partners' ability to show up authentically. This is true in intimate partner relationships, friendships, work relationships and family relationships. This week host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C interviews Michelle Farris, LMFT about codependent relational dynamics. Michelle describes the dynamics of codependency within relationships, talks about how these patterns develop and how people who lose themselves within relationships can build a stronger sense of self.Michelle Farris is a licensed psychotherapist and anger management specialist. She helps others build healthy relationships without sacrificing themselves while using her own recovery to provide hope for creating a happier life. She has written three e-books and has created several online courses to support private learning. Her articles have been featured in several online publications including Psych Central, Bustle, Your Tango, The Good Men Project and The Daily Positive. In her private practice Michelle found her sweet spot in teaching relationship skills that are easy to implement quickly. Learn more about Michelle at: https://www.counselingrecovery.com/We are accepting new clients in my therapy practice (for those located in Maryland).
