032 - The Power of a Positive Mindset

On this episode of the SessionWell Podcast, Adam Luke LMFT and Judy Yen LMFT interview Talia Bombola LMFT. Talia Bombola is known as the Confidence and Assertiveness Specialist™. She is the CEO, Owner and Founder of Newport Counseling Center for Individual, Couples and Family, Therapy Inc. and works as an LMFT + Certified Psychodynamic Therapist. She is also the CEO, Owner and Founder of Coaching with Talia, Inc. where she is a Life Coach/Mindset Mentor.

Talia spends time on today's episode outlining not only her clinical perspective when it comes to self-worth but some of those cathartic and clinical interventions that she uses with clients to help maximize her clients potential for joy, relationships and connection. As Talia defines it, self-worth is the internal sense of being good enough and worthy of love and belonging from others. Human beings have inherent worth and oftentimes due to life events or interactions with others, we question that worth. Talia incorporates IFS/Parts Work + Attachment Theory into her Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic practice to inspire others to realize they can change their lives and recreate narratives about themselves that are much more positive. Talia strives to serve as a reminder to keep your self-worth high and most everything else in life will fall into place accordingly.

Talia also has a new membership site and eCourse that builds upon what is discussed in today's podcast. Her eCourse helps give language to self-development terms.

Lilia Carey PsyD, LMFT is a director of a Sexual Abuse Treatment program in Orange County, CA. Dr. Carey wears many hats in the clinical world, whether it is being a professor, Director, or clinical psychologist. Dr. Carey sits down with Adam Luke and Judy Yen of SessionWell to tackle the discussion of creating a safe space for our Clients to process their emotions, feelings and experiences while also having grace for ourselves to be able to identify, process and repurpose challenges in our own lives. Dr. Carey brings to this discussion a level of genuineness and authenticity that is simply infectious when realizing that our greatest strengths as clinicians and individuals is found in a desire for us simply to be who we were created to be.

Today we welcomed back Jason Odegaard, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to chat about how he utilizes EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in his private practice. With 17 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy, Jason has achieved certification and is an approved consultant in EMDR. He discusses the benefit of EMDR in alleviating distressful life experiences and traumatic memories. In addition, he demonstrates the various ways lateral stimulation can be achieved and how EMDR can be a modality used via Telehealth.

Sessionwell is back for its 4th season! Today Judy and Adam are sitting down with Heather Silva, Licensed Marriage and Family therapist to speak on the topic of pre and postpartum challenges that women and couples can face in navigating the seasons of fertility, pregnancy and bringing a child home. Heather’s expertise in this field comes not only from her clinical accomplishments but also as a Mother of 3 children, one boy, one girl, and one angel baby. Heather does a fantastic job in conceptualizing and breaking down the worries, shames and expectations that mothers and couples face in the realities of growing our families, our relationships and our homes.

Adam Luke LMFT and Judy Yen LMFT sit down for a discussion about Self-care in the age of a pandemic. Adam and Judy navigate how even when the world is forced to close down, Self care is not cancelled! Listen in to the 3 take-aways Judy and Adam have been using personally and professionally to find sanctuary in an increasingly chaotic social experience. 

Join Adam and Judy, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists as they break down the transition to Teletherapy not only as professionals who use Teletherapy to reach their Clients but also the benefits Clients have now in accessing the therapist and therapy they want regardless of traffic, geography and scheduling conflicts! 

The technology aspect of Teletherapy can be intimidating but the real life application and ease of accessing quality services is going to be a contributing factor in Teletherapy having a presence in the healthcare field long after the pandemic.

We all find ourselves in unhealthy patterns and behaviors which keep us stuck and are often driven by our historical hurts and fears (powerless victimhood). By entering into a process of healing and growth we discover empowerment for greater connection and creativity. We gain confidence and trust to move forward in our lives and positively affect the world around us.

Vulnerability is defined by Brene Brown as “uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure”. While, at face value, this may not sound like anything to rave about or go running after, true vulnerability has the great potential of opening us up to being more of who we authentically are. Vulnerability allows us to take the heavy masks off and gives us the freedom to connect with ourselves and others in more meaningful ways.
