This week we will be discussing Somatic Embodiment Work with Our guest this week, Devon! Her TikTok is @devoncaleyy Be sure to go follow her!Somatic therapy, aka somatic experiencing, was originally developed by Peter Levine in the late 1970s. It was conceptualized as an alternative to other trauma-focused therapies — which, although effective for some people, didn’t work for everyone.Somatic experiencing may allow you to revisit trauma without recalling specific events and emotions.When you practice these body-focused exercises, you focus on physical sensations, instead of thoughts and emotions as you’d do in talk therapy, or your fears as you’d do with exposure therapy.Resources: Books recommended by therapist DevonMy grandmother’s hands by Resmaa MenakemAmazon.com : my grandmother's handsNo bad parts by Richard SchwartzAmazon.com : no bad parts by richard schwartzthe body keeps the score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.Amazon.com : the body keeps the score”Yoga with Kassandra Yoga with Kassandra - YouTubeAlthough some somatic experiencing exercises can be done on your own, to truly benefit from this approach, it’s recommended that you work with a trained therapist.Support the showNew episodes every Sunday on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts!

This week we will be discussing the topic of Stockholm syndrome; with our guest this week is Abi! Make sure you go check her out after the episode and show her some love! Her TikTok is @eclecticxhippieSo what is Stockholm Syndrome?! Stockholm syndrome isn't a psychological diagnosis. Instead, it's a way of understanding the emotional response some people have toward a captor or an abuser. It happens to some abuse and hostage victims when they have positive feelings toward an abuser or a captor.This condition gets its name from a 1973 bank robbery incident that happened in Stockholm, Sweden. During the six-day standoff with police, many of the captive bank employees became sympathetic toward the bank robbers. After they were set free, some bank employees refused to testify against the bank robbers in court and even raised money for their defense.A criminologist and psychiatrist, named Nils Bejerot, investigating the event developed the term, “Stockholm syndrome” to describe the affinity some bank employees showed toward the bank robbers.Resources: Treatments Available to Long Term Abduction Victims | Psychology Todayhttps://www.forbes.com/health/mind/stockholm-syndrome/https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/what-is-stockholm-syndromehttps://www.simplypsychology.org/stockholm-syndrome.htmlhttps://narcissisticbehavior.net/the-place-of-stockholm-syndrome-in-narcissistic-victim-syndrome/#:~:text=Summary%3ASupport the showNew episodes every Sunday on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts!

This week we will be discussing the topic of growing from narcissistic abuse, with our guest this week, Anna. Make sure you go check her out after the episode and show her some love! Her TikTok is @bugslife6472Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others. The term “narcissistic abuse” describes a type of emotional abuse that comes from a person with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). People with NPD have low empathy and see others as beneath them, which can lead to harmful, toxic, abusive behaviors. Learning more about narcissistic abuse and talking with an online therapist or provider can help you cope. The sooner you have a better understanding, you can begin the healing after emotional abuse. Suicidal thoughts and behavior are common with any abuse survivor. If you think you may hurt yourself or attempt suicide, get help right away:In the U.S, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.Contact a suicide hotline. In the U.S., call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

This week we will be discussing the topic of how near-death experiences can change lives for the better with our anonymous guest, Katherine.Near-death experiences (NDEs), profound experiences reported by some people who survive close brushes with death, are important to clinicians because they often lead to pervasive changes in attitudes and behavior; because they may be confused with psychopathological states; and because they may enhance our understanding of consciousness. Proposed psychological and physiological explanations lack empirical support and fail to explain NDEs, which pose a challenge to current models of the mind-brain relationship.Resources: Personal Values Assessment | Discover Your Valueshttps://personalvalu.es/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6179792/#:~:text=A%20recent%20review%20of%20research,compassion%20and%20love%20for%20others%3Bhttps://www.iands.orghttps://www.npr.org/2022/07/25/1112563553/near-death-experience-researchSupport the showNew episodes every Sunday on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts!
