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!

Therapists - are you in a toxic business relationship? This week I'm covering why many therapy practices are struggling to stay afloat. Kelly Higdon, LMFT and Miranda Palmer, LMFT are two therapists and business coaches who co-own ZynnyMe and lead Business School for Therapists. They've been keeping up with the factors affecting therapist wellbeing for years! In our conversation we discuss how therapists and clients are being misled and mistreated by companies that don't have our best interests in mind. If you've unwittingly entered into a toxic relationship with an abusive business entity, you'll want to listen to this episode and take back your power! Some of the topics we covered in this episode:Tech companies offering mental health treatment that is misaligned with therapist ethics and best practices, with potential HIPAA (and other) liability passed on to the therapist;Insurance companies and the companies that negotiate their fees making huge profits while providers are paid less and consumers pay more for health insurance; How our field conditions us into “learned helplessness” in the face of such issues; Things therapists need to consider to protect our clients and ourselves; What we can do to challenge the ways the tech industry is “disrupting” the mental health field; and much more.Link to NY Times articleRead Kelly + Miranda's blog post here Kelly + Miranda's website: https://zynnyme.com Watch this episode on Therapy Chat's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TherapyChatPodcastThe Institute for Creative Mindfulness is an EMDRIA-approved EMDR Therapy training institute created by Dr. Jamie Marich, a clinician and author who is on a mission to confront stigma around mental health, trauma, and dissociation.

This week I interviewed Antonieta Contreras about trauma therapy and the importance of a systemic approach to healing. We discussed misconceptions around trauma therapy, the importance of understanding the connection between trauma and the loss of internal equilibrium, and the role of nature, nurture, and consciousness in healing.

Her book is packed with information on the experience of early trauma and its impact on identity development, and much more!Antonieta Contreras, LCSW-R, is a Gestalt trained psychotherapist in private practice in NYC and a Board member and Treasurer of the NY Association of Trauma Therapists (NYCATT).

Therapists - there's so much important information in this conversation that you need to hear! In this conversation I spoke with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, who is an expert in PANS, PANDAS, and tick-borne illnesses as well as Autoimmune Encephalopathy (AE). Roseann shares about the symptoms, diagnosis, and holistic as well as allopathic treatment options for these conditions, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the sudden onset of neuropsychiatric issues without a trauma trigger while also speaking about how traumatic it can be for individuals and their families to suffer with these symptoms.The conversation highlights the need for therapists to be educated about these conditions, learn to support clients and find appropriate specialists to refer to for treatment of the health symptoms. The discussion sheds light on the prevalence of these illnesses and the challenges individuals face in getting proper diagnosis and treatment. Roseann also identifies how factors such as genetic mutations, nutrient deficiencies, and breaking of the blood-brain barrier can contribute to the development and worsening of these conditions. Dr. Roseann is an Integrative Children’s Mental Health Expert and founder of The Global Institute of Children’s Mental Health. She is a Connecticut Certified School Psychologist, Board Certified Neurofeedback Provider (BCN), and the podcast host of the “It’s Gonna be Ok!™ with Dr. Roseann," the parenting resource for children's behavior and mental health.Dr. Roseann's website is found at: https://drroseann.com/Join Dr. Roseann's upcoming Webinar Series on PANS/PANDAS + AE which begins 4/19/24 and save $60 on your registration using promo code: THERAPY Register for: Resilience Informed Therapy - An Integrative Somatic Approach to Trauma Recovery and get 12 CE's while learning from one of my favorite teachers, Dr. Arielle Schwartz! Another of my favorite teachers, Dr. Janina Fisher, is opening enrollment to her next cohort of TIST trainees.
