trauma survivors

In this episode, holistic psychotherapist Diane Petrella discusses her book, 'Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors', emphasizing the importance of understanding the connection between trauma and emotional eating. Diane shares her personal journey into social work, spurred by a devastating childhood trauma, and the processes underlying her therapeutic techniques. She provides helpful insights into dealing with emotional eating, suggesting strategies such as developing a meditation practice and enhancing inner wisdom. Diane reinforces the idea that healing is not about eradicating emotional eating, but gaining self-compassion, understanding, and coping mechanisms to navigate triggers.

1.  Prior to the intake, you'll be sent a Joy Scale assessment, lots of things to sign and review, a trauma history and personal questionnaire, and more.
2. 1 hour intake  to go over all the paperwork and your trauma history, and then we set out our 12 week scheduled together!
3. Each week a 90-min coachsulting session -- deep dive into the Pillar(s) you want to work on, learning to honor your nervous system and body while working through triggers and activations, figuring out where your obstacles and deficits around the Pillar(s) are coming from, fears/shame/pain around areas in your life regarding these Pillar(s), working through trauma blocks, digging into the science-based information and sorting through the "deluge" together to find things that you want to try as you conquer your Pillar(s), and more!
4.  Each week a 30-min "check in" - to regroup, see what's working/not working, accountability, encouragement, celebrating small wins/gains, making necessary pivots to help you be successful in your Action List/Homework, mood check in, etc.
5. 1 hour "exit review" after all the 12-week sessions are complete - taking another Joy Scale for comparison, reviewing how you feel about your accomplishments, my strategic review and feedback about your results, and chatting about how best to move forward, etc.
6. I also will be available via email for extra support and encouragement as needed throughout the 12 weeks

INFO ABOUT THE PACKAGE:
- This is a COMMITMENT, from me to you and you to yourself
- I'm only taking a LIMITED amount of private packages each quarter

Mitch Larsson found himself living a pretty common lifestyle as a married father and lawyer, but a snap decision one day in his 40s changed his life forever. He became a male escort.

In today's episode, we hear about what brought him to this snap decision, what the response was like from his wife, family and friends, and what he has told his 8 year old son.

We also delve into another side of this particular line of work that is often overlooked - that it is very often more than just sex. Mitch explains that some who seek the services of an escort are also seeking companionship or the desire to rebuild their confidence. He shares his experience with some of these clients and what it has meant for both the client and himself.

Mitch is now an author and tells his story in his book ‘Time For Her’.

We, of course, know that abuse of any child is wrong, but when boys are sexually abused, it is often not reported.  There are a lot of reasons for that. Ill be talking with Dr Kelli Palfy, who got interested in helping men who had been sexually abused as children when she was an investigator with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. We discuss some of the reasons it's not talked about it, how it affects men when they carry the secret and some great organizations where they can find help and healing. 

In this episode we discuss :

1. How Dr Palfy's careen in Law Enforcement and corrections spurred her interest into helping men who were sexually abused as children.
2. Relevant studies demonstrating how much  access perpetrators find to children.
3. Why the abuse sometimes isn't recognized as abuse to the victims.
4. How Secondary Trauma happens
5. Are there signs to look for to recognize if a child is being molested.
6. How attachment difficulties can arise when a survivor carries their trauma with them alone into adulthood.
7. The barriers that men face to seeking help for their trauma.
8. How parents can discuss healthy touch with their sons.
9. Organizations that can help.

Please check out Dr. Palfy's website Peaks and Valleys Psychology

Eric Christiansen is an acclaimed documentarian who has built his brand around socially responsible filmmaking that educates, inspires and heals. He has the capability to identify an issue within a specific population and have it resonate with a general audience through compelling storytelling. A trauma survivor himself, having lost his home in the Santa Barbara Painted Cave fire disaster, he understands trauma, the resilience of the human spirit, and how important HOPE is to the healing journey. A seven-time Southwestern Region Emmy Award recipient, Christiansen's previous films (Faces in the Fire, Homecoming: A Vietnam Vets Journey, Searching for Home: Coming Back from War) have been transformative in the recovery process for thousands of people whose lives have been compromised mentally, spiritually and physically by trauma. Leveraged as educational tools by top mental health institutions, Christiansen's films migrate from the entertainment arena into environments that help additional audiences navigate the profound collateral damage trauma creates not only on the individual, but the family and community as well. The New York Times called his last film, "strikingly photographed" and "...sure to give comfort and support to countless veterans and their families." By spotlighting these survivors and their journeys, Christiansen has been able to help unify a variety of audiences around the power of HOPE, and educate the general population about the complexities of trauma. Christiansen has also produced for major networks including Discovery, TLC, PBS, MTV and an Imax film.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by psychotherapist Nicole Schiener to talk about the power of anger and how we can use it as transformative energy instead of a toxic one that depletes us.

We talked about:

• The conflicted relationship that many survivors and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour have with anger because of their trauma.
• Why is it so important for people with trauma to process their anger and not just 'get over it'.
• What survivors who are afraid of their anger can do, particularly if they're not sure how to express it.
• What reclaiming and transforming anger into healing looks like on a personal and collective level.
• How most survivors are told to get over things that happened a long time ago and how one can respond to these kinds of comments?
• What a humble warrior means and how we can all be a warrior for others.

This was most definitely an empowering episode and I can't wait for you to hear it!

ABOUT NICOLE SCHIENER:

Nicole Schiener is a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada, and a published author. Her writing has been featured in the Gottman Blog and Elephant Journal. 

She provides counseling and supervision at a non-profit organization and sees clients privately at a wellness clinic in St. George, Ontario. 

Nicole is a member of her region's Sexual Assault Response Team and a mama to a teen son and 10-year-old daughter.

Nicole loves helping people connect to their inner expert and learn to dance with their emotions, embracing and celebrating their authentic self and the power of the human spirit to heal and thrive.

Currently, she's completing a compilation of short stories, poetry, and reflective questions on the awakening journey for highly sensitive mothers. Nicole believes, "World peace begins with inner peace."

While commonly thought of as a condition from vets and war heroes, PTSD can actually affect people in a variety of different ways. After a neighbor's dog severely attacked Gail a few years back, she could tell she needed help dealing with the traumatic event. In this episode of No More Secrets, the aunt and niece duo invite returning guest, Gail Bruno, on to discuss this significant moment in her life, her diagnosis of PTSD, and ultimately her neverending journey of healing.
