S2 E7: Neurobiology with Bill Porter on reFRAMED Podcast Apr 13, 2020

Emily Morehead, LPC and Bill Porter, MA talk about neurobiologic stress. Our neurobiology is more than just our brain. Our neurons run through our body, our gut, our limbic system (emotions) and our mind. The stress we experience affects all the areas. It’s not just in our brain. If left to it’s own devices, our neurobiological responses usually become either over reactive or under reactive. And that’s were we get into trouble. In many instances, our survival responses can be destructive to our relationships. Our overreaction or under reaction can affect our relationships with our kids, our spouses, our parents, our coworkers and on and on. Learn more by listening or watching today!

S2 E4: Reframed with Heart & Harmony Feb 21, 2020

Three music therapists joined reFRAMED Podcast Host, Emily Morehead, LP to share about the power of music therapy. Music accesses every part of the brain which has huge implications as music as a therapy. Our bodies are very musical and rhythmic and when your body does that, your brain releases dopamine which is key to forming new neural connections. Music is a way to connect and socialize in a non-verbal way. Having music as a healthy form of sensory input is so helpful for those on the spectrum. Watch and find out how music can be a motivator for daily tasks as well as transitions with children.

S2 E3: Trauma Therapies With Marshall Lyles Jan 31, 2020

Guest Marshall Lyles joins reFRAMED Podcast Host, Emily Morehead, LPC, to talk about trauma. A lot of families ask a lot of questions about trauma and our goal is to break down this big topic into bite-size pieces. There's a phrase that our listeners probably hear a lot, "trauma-informed care", which does mean a lot but doesn't communicate a lot. Marshall defines trauma as any event that any person would go through that gets stored in the memory in a way that it then starts to interfere with their functioning. Trauma is more about how those memories are stored than it does about the actual events that happened.

While adoption is beautiful, sometimes there are hard places before reaching the final destination. Robyn has found throughout her practice that the littlest information or even a script is enough to help parents to know how to talk to their child about transitions and grief that are happening or going to happen. Being able to talk through the transitions is like a building block and an empowerment piece. As a therapist, Robyn shared that she is constantly working with clients to understand that they can have more than one feeling at a time.

reFramed Table Talk: Reframing Birth Parent Identity Nov 13, 2019

Society has some stigmas around who a birth parent is, why someone would choose to place their child for adoption. These stigmas can write a story that is not the birth parent's story. As Megan Devine says, "joy and pain can coexist". Adoption is beautiful and families are made, and it is born out of loss.

"Never should a birth parent be shamed for what she chose to do -- what she found best for her and her child." ~ Katie

Emily Morehead, LPC, and Heidi Bruegel Cox, JD, talk about Heidi's passion project -- foster care. Gladney has a great project going on right now. We are trying to get as many children out of foster care as possible. Once the plan is adoption for the child, we want to help those children find homes as soon as possible.

S1 E12: Reframing Your Worry Monsters Sep 23, 2019

Emily Morehead, LPC, and Pam Dyson, LPC-S, talk about reframing anxiety in children. Anxiety is the the most common reason why children are in therapy. While some anxiety in children is age appropriate and typical, that anxiety can sometimes get out of control. The out of control anxiety is generally when parents bring their child to a therapist. So how do you differentiate between the typical anxiety of starting a new school year, meeting new people versus a chronic, consistent issue? Listen in as Pam helps us reframe the worry monsters.
