In this interview, Jessica Culp, a long-time Trauma Therapist | 2.0 (https://www.thetraumatherapistproject.com/community/trauma2/) member, takes the mic and interviews me. I’ve been a guest on a number of other podcasts and truly enjoy the experience.

Episode 313: Clip: Dan Siegel, MD. Awareness, Trauma & Trauma Treatment. Nov 03, 2018

Show notes

I’m very excited this week to have Dr. Dan Siegel back. Dan’s new book, Aware: The Science and Practice of Presence–The Groundbreaking Meditation Practice (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1101993049/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wescoatrapro-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1101993049&linkId=e886a8c6747eea474729c950edf67b22)is, is something that’s been on my radar for quite some time as it fits into much of what we discuss here on the podcast. What does it mean to cultivate awareness? Why is it important? And what are the implications both for therapists in general, for for trauma therapists in particular? And how does this impact the client? Dan Siegel is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and the founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center (http://marc.ucla.edu/) at UCLA. An award-winning educator, he is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and recipient of several honorary fellowships. Dr. Siegel is also the Executive Director of the Mindsight Institute (https://www.mindsightinstitute.com/?campname=dds-links&camplink=DDSbio), an educational organization, which offers online learning (http://mindsightinstitute.com/online_courses?campname=dds-links&camplink=DDSbio) and in-person seminars (http://mindsightinstitute.com/immersion-weekends?campname=dds-links&camplink=DDSbio) that focus on how the development of mindsight (http://www.drdansiegel.com/about/mindsight/) in individuals, families and communities can be enhanced by examining the interface of human relationships and basic biological processes.

Episode 311: Victor Yalom. The Art of Psychotherapy Oct 19, 2018

Show notes

My goal with The Trauma Therapist Project--the podcast, Trauma Therapist | 2.0, and my online course, Inner-Work For The New Trauma Worker--has always been to raise the awareness of trauma, and to help support, educate and inspire new trauma therapists. This week I'm continuing that mission, albeit with something different. A few weeks ago I reached out to Victor Yalom of psychotherapy.net and inquired about partnering with him to bring my listeners one of his most popular online courses, Irvin Yalom and the Art of Psychotherapy (http://psychotherapy.net/trauma). I thought this would be a great chance for you to learn from a master therapist. Irvin Yalom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irvin_D._Yalom), is a prolific author, well-known for integrating existentialism into his work, as well as for working in the here and now. It is these latter two elements which are integral to working with those who’ve been impacted by trauma, and the reason I wanted to partner with Victor to bring this course to you. In this episode I talk to Victor, the son of Irvin Yalom, and himself, a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience, and the founder and CEO of Psychotherapy.net. Victor shares his personal story of what inspired him to get into the field of psychotherapy, and then eventually found psychotherapy.net. Victor gives us a peek into this incredible course, Irvin Yalom and the Art of Psychotherapy (http://psychotherapy.net/trauma), and also offers The Trauma Therapist | Podcast listeners a unique discount.

Episode 308: The Power of Trust. Shauna Springer Oct 01, 2018

Show notes

Shauna Springer, Ph.D., is the Senior Director of Suicide Prevention and Postvention Initiatives at the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (https://www.taps.org/). Dr. Springer is a licensed Psychologist with an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and a doctoral degree from the University of Florida. She has particular expertise in innovative suicide prevention approaches, moral injury, trauma recovery, close relationships, peer support program development, and veterans' issues, including post-discharge adjustment as well as strategies for engaging Veterans in behavioral health care. Prior to her current role at TAPS, she served as a front-line psychologist in a Department of Veterans Affairs behavioral health clinic. She helped launch the peer support program in her clinic, and continually innovated to better serve the veterans on her caseload. Known to many veterans as “Doc Springer,” she has helped hundreds of warriors reconnect with their tribe, strengthen their most important relationships, and build lives that are driven by their deepest values. Based on the trust she has earned within the veteran community, she has acquired a wealth of knowledge about how our bravest citizens may struggle, and the sacred values and potentially life-saving strategies that may help all of us stay in the fight. Recently, she has been developing training on how to have respectful, effective conversations about lethal means with veterans who own firearms.
