Sometimes life can feel like it keeps piling it on! How is it that some people can thrive in the midst of and following a traumatic event or crisis situation? RESILIANCY! In this episode we hear from Marci Macari and how her personal journey has led her to being a resilience expert. Trauma to triumph is what we seek. Understanding the concept of what it takes to be resilient, will help us to bounce instead of break when these kinds of things happen.

Do you ever feel like you are questioning everything you have ever believed in or the beliefs instilled in you from childhood? Join special guest Cub Kuker and host Ruth Brown as we look into this journey of deconstruction.

Described as the process of systematically dissecting and often rejecting the beliefs you grew up with, deconstruction is a process that we all experience at some point in our lives. The beliefs that we take a look at will vary for each of us, the process is unique, and each journey will look different.

“Deconstruction is not meant to be a soft sighing of the future, but a way of deciding now and being impassioned in a moment.” -John Caputo

REALITY IS CONSTRUCTED BY YOUR BRAIN! Join host Ruth Brown as we look at how the brain functions during trauma. Learning what happens when we experience a traumatic event allows the opportunity to better understand the ways we can interject stress reducers, implement better protective factors, and be clearer in our communication with those who support someone who experiences complications post-trauma.

Women are more likely to experience PTSD than men. 8 out of every 100 women and 4 out of every 100 men will suffer from PTSD during their lifetime. Let's really learn how PTSD and similar traumatic experiences are processed within our brain and body so that we can do our best to implement counteractive measures to these processes.

Childhood Neglect Leads to Adult Insecurities. Special guest Ilean McCarty, LCSW joins host Ruth Brown as we look into the pattern of how neglect (whether intentional or situational) in childhood can manifest as insecurities such as food insecurity, as an adult.

"It's difficult for a patient to be able to focus on a therapy session or receive case management assistance when they are hungry! I can literally hear their stomach growling" Ilean McCarty. Basic needs must be met before we can focus on moving up Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Join us as we talk about multiple considerations in these unspeakable circumstances.

This is certainly an issue we need to speak up about!

Join special guest LeAnn Moses, Spiritual Wellness & Life Coach and host Ruth Brown, as we look at compassionfatigue vs. burnout and how we canbest recognize then subsequentlytreat (and hopefully prevent)!

*Topics: Addiction, Alcohol, Drugs, Suicide*

*Editor's Note - It is mentioned during this episode that suicide is a "selfish act." Although mental health professionals understand that this is not the case, we don't want to hide real talk and common stigmas. Rather, we view every chance we get to confront stigmas as an opportunity to discuss and educate. Suicide is not a selfish act, but rather one of hopelessness and a feeling from the person contemplating the act that people around them would be better off without them or that they hate themselves so much that they don't realize that others still love them.

Host Chip Orton and special guest Todd Thayer De Voe discuss the Critical Stress Debriefing (CSD) and why it works, or doesn't. As a 20-year emergency management professional, Todd De Voe and Chip Orton discuss CSD and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as well as the seven stages of conducting a debrief. Personal stories and work experiences highlight the ways for first responders to explore mental health issues. There always "hope" to speak the unspeakable.
