Show notes

What is the fear of missing out? It used to be "keeping up with the joneses" but that was before social media! It's no longer about who drives what car, has the bigger house, the better job, or better friends. Now it's all about who has the better experience of life from an online profile that is very often - completely invented!
Join Dr. Lisa Day and Dr. Kristina Hallett both podcasters on Mental Health News Radio Network with your host Kristin Sunanta Walker for a funny, touching, and "help me, help you" perspective.

Conversations with a Wounded Healer Oct 14, 2019

Show notes

Therapy with a twist of irreverence is sorely needed in today's world. Balancing our head/heart connection by diving into the depths of our souls while simultaneously laughing our asses off takes some deep work. We won't call it being fearless. We all have fear. It's just owning the uncomfortable within, feeling that fear, and diving in anyway. Enter Sarah Buino and her podcast Confessions of a Wounded Healer, newly added to Mental Health News Radio Network.
Join she and your host Kristin Sunanta Walker for those conversations we love - no holds barred.
Sarah Buino, LCSW, CADC, CDWF founded Head/Heart Therapy, Inc. in 2014. After working for several years at respected social service agencies around Chicago, Sarah envisioned creating a new group practice that would be a welcoming place where clients can feel free to show up authentically and creatively however they so desire. Head/Heart’s vision is a reflection of Sarah’s own philosophy and personal experiences of living a rich, examined and sometimes untraditional life outside the box. Head/Heart Therapy’s name even comes from a tattoo Sarah has on her right arm as it serves as a constant reminder of Sarah’s approach to therapy – finding the key to connect the head to the heart. Years later, as Sarah was cleaning out some old files, she found her notes from Brené Brown’s Connections training in 2012 where she’d written “head/heart” across the top of one of the pages. Clearly, Head/Heart Therapy was meant to be.

A Healthy Model for Choice with Mia Lykke Nielsen Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

The horsemanship world is an interesting place. People who believe that force, anger, these are just dumb animals, etc. will argue forever and write off anyone that practices compassion, empathy, partnership, leadership. This will go on as it has until the end of time.
When you bring horses into a therapeutic environment all of the "take control over your horse" practices go right out the window. That will never work when it comes to utilizing horses with people that struggle with their mental health. Guess who struggles with their mental health at some point in their lives? EVERYONE.
You'd think and, maybe, hope that all of the strides we see from working in partnership with these amazing animals would trickle into the world of horses outside the counseling realm. Tune to to this show, hold back that need to write off what our guest does successfully without anger, without treats, and without those tired old fashioned ways of managing horses. Listen. Be open. Have an experience of letting a horse choose. It just might empower you to choose what you truly want in your own life!
Mia Lykke Nielsen starts where others quit. She never gives up. She calls a horse a horse and a spade a spade. She reads horses just like people become absorbed by the twists and turns in their books. She’s walked with them for years – through scorched wilderness and slippery mountain slopes. She sleeps in the barn with them when they are sick. Offers the kinship of a herd when they are lonely. Takes care of their hooves when the blacksmith gives up. Makes a horse feel so safe that it will stand still while the dentist removes a broken tooth.
With 300 wild Californian horses as her instructors, Mia has developed a unique knowledge of horses and horse behaviour. In just one month, Mia tamed and trained five wild mustangs to become calm and trusting domestic horses.
Added to this are Mia’s many years of work and experience in classic dressage and academic training in equine anatomy and biomechanics.
Horse owners from all over the Nordic countries send their horses to Mia. Young horses, show jumping horses, dressage horses, riding horses, wild horses, dangerous horses, misunderstood horses, problem horses and abandoned horses. They all end up in Mia’s care.
