<p>In this episode of Therapy Chat, I interviewed returning guest Deb Dana, LCSW. We explored the profound impact of Polyvagal Theory on emotional regulation and connection. We discussed the importance of co-regulation, the role of nature in fostering a sense of safety, and the significance of recognizing micro-moments of joy and connection in our daily lives. </p><p>We talked about the current trend of regulation "hacks" and challenged the idea that our goal is to be regulated. We also touchedthe power of glimmers as reminders of safety and connection. We talked about how we can move forward when things seem dark and discouraging. Ultimately, this conversation offers hope and practical insights for fostering emotional well-being in a dysregulated world, through the power of connection.</p><p>Deb Dana, LCSW, is a clinician, consultant, author and speaker. Deb’s work delves into the intricacies of how understanding and befriending the nervous system can change the way we navigate our daily lives. She is well known for translating Polyvagal Theory into a language and application that is both clear and accessible and for her significant contribution pioneering Rhythm of Regulation® methodology, tools, techniques and practices which continue to open up the power of Polyvagal Theory for professionals and curious people from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life. </p><p>Deb’s clinical work published with W.W. Norton includes The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy, Polyvagal Exercises, the Polyvagal Flip Chart, and the Glimmers Journal. Her work with Sounds True for a general audience includes Anchored and The Nervous System Workbook.  </p><p>Learn more about <a href="https://www.rhythmofregulation.com/" rel="nofollow">Deb Dana's work and books via her website</a>. </p><p>If you're interested in being notified when I announce the details of the new Therapy Chat membership - open to anyone, not just therapists - which will open in September, 2025, <a href="https://forms.gle/LMTFuNJjATWz2YJ1A" rel="nofollow">submit your info on this form</a>.

<p>Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, we're talking about a subject that many people are curious about lately, GLP-1's the diabetes medications that are being used by non-diabetics for weight loss. Therapists need to know about these medications, because clients are exploring them. </p><p>I sat down with Dr. Vanessa Scaringi and Kathryn Garland, two therapists who specialize in eating disorders, to hear their perspective on whether these medications are helpful or harmful. Our conversation took us many places I wasn't expecting and challenged so many biases I had about these medications - some I wasn't aware of until we started talking. </p><p>We went into diet culture, various eating disorders, why people are using GLP-1's and what they're experiencing. Their perspective was much more nuanced than I expected and I'm grateful to them for educating me! Whether you're someone considering GLP-1's, or a therapist whose clients may be curious about these meds, you'll find a lot to think about in this episode.</p><p>Vanessa Scaringi, PhD, CEDS-C, is a licensed psychologist in Austin, TX. Vanessa co-owns with Kathryn Garland, LCSW, CALM Counseling, a group therapy practice. She primarily sees individuals in working on recovery from eating disorders or body image issues. Vanessa has dedicated much of her career to working in the eating disorder field. Kathryn Garland is a licensed clinical social worker and supervisor as well as a certified eating disorder specialist consultant in Texas, New York, Massachusetts and Colorado. She obtained postgraduate psychoanalytic training in New York City and incorporates relational and intuitive methods into her work with clients. </p><p>Learn more about Dr. Vanessa Scaringi and Kathryn Garland, LCSW via their <a href="http://www.keepcalmatx.com/" rel="nofollow">CALM Counseling ATX website</a> and their <a href="https://instagram.com/calmcounselingatx" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>.</p><p>If you're interested in being notified when I announce the details of the new Therapy Chat membership which will open in September, 2025, <a href="https://forms.gle/LMTFuNJjATWz2YJ1A" rel="nofollow">submit your info on this form</a>.

<p>Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week's guest is Dr. Sabrina N'Diaye, a wise and deep clinician, author, teacher, speaker and leader. We had a heartfelt conversation about showing up authentically as a therapist. Not "trying to show up authentically," but living and working as our authentic selves. Sabrina speaks about how spirituality fits in with the process of reclaiming your authenticity. This was a beautiful and inspiring conversation which I hope you will enjoy.</p><p>Dr. Sabrina N'Diaye is a thought leader in integrating spirituality with psychotherapy. As an integrative therapist, author, and peacebuilder, she blends ancient spiritual practices with the latest scientific research and wisdom to guide others on their healing journeys. She is affectionately referred to as, “Sister Sabrina” in the communities that she serves.</p><p>Dr. Sabrina holds a PhD in Mind-Body Medicine from Saybrook University, where her research focused on the use of guided imagery as a healing tool for African-American women with chronic STIs. She is also the founder of The Heart Nest Center for Peace and Healing, where she lovingly serves women, couples, and small groups. Her first book, Big Mama Speaks: Love Lessons from a Harlem River Swan, draws on her maternal grandmother’s resilience in overcoming trauma and chronic illness. Dr. Sabrina is deeply passionate about mentoring other therapists in creating fulfilling careers while serving humanity. She is a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, who remains humbled by the healing powers of compassion, forgiveness, and love.</p><p>Find Dr. Sabrina N'Diaye's book, Big Mama Speaks: Love Lessons From a Harlem River Swan here.</p><p>Visit <a href="https://theheartnest.com/" rel="nofollow">Dr. Sabrina's website here</a>.</p><p>Register for Dr. Sabrina's upcoming course <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/4u9nhu4/lp/d1900d8f-f343-4f7e-8ad3-5efac3d92762?fbclid=IwY2xjawK-xT5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFZbUVGdW1pQWx3QnFuRXpaAR5q9TYJolvXWUgS7a0JLuWjiAEtg1wLVKbZLaggeCOdA2ci5gD8Ryifxtt9zg_aem__a3Cx3-K6VSJKkrXhDeXLw" rel="nofollow">"Writing the Healers Journey" here</a>.</p><p>Therapists, <a href="https://traumatherapistnetwork.com/for-therapists" rel="nofollow">visit the new For Therapists page</a> on the Trauma Therapist Network website for discounts on training, recommended resources and more. </p><p>TTN will be opening for new members in June.

<p>Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week we are talking about a newly coined term, "high functioning codependency," which was defined by our guest, Terri Cole. Terri Cole is a licensed psychotherapist and global relationship and empowerment expert who authored two books, Boundary Boss and her newest, book, Too Much, which we discuss in this week's episode. For over 20 years, Terri has worked with a diverse group of clients that includes everyone from stay-at-home moms to celebrities and Fortune 500 CEOs. She has a gift for making complex psychological concepts accessible and actionable so that clients and students achieve sustainable change - and she's hilarious, in my opinion.</p><p>She inspires over a million people weekly through her blog, social media platform, signature courses, and her popular podcast, The Terri Cole Show. You'll hear us discuss how HSP's and narcissists go together like peanut butter and jelly, why, and what can be done about it. I couldn't put her book down - it opened up a new level of understanding of this subject for me. I hope you'll enjoy this conversation as much as I did!</p><p>Find Terri's website with her books, courses, podcast and everything she is doing at <a href="http://www.terricole.com/" rel="nofollow">www.terricole.com</a> .</p><p>Therapists, <a href="https://traumatherapistnetwork.com/for-therapists" rel="nofollow">visit the new For Therapists page</a> on the Trauma Therapist Network website for discounts on training, recommended resources and more. </p><p>TTN will be opening for new members in June.

<p>Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, continuing the discussion of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), we have a new interview with my colleague, teacher and friend Paula Scatoloni, LCSW. Paula Scatoloni is a Licensed Social Worker and a Healing Arts Practitioner in NC blending transpersonal psychology, somatics, and sound with the principles of traditional wisdom and earth-based spirituality. </p><p>Paula created Transformative Harmonics as a bridge to help individuals shift their frequency into safety, connection, and empowerment so they can begin live a more purpose-driven life. We talked about the importance of embodiment for practitioners who are delivering the SSP. Paula spoke about how we can work with our nervous systems for co-regulation and much more. </p><p>Find Paula's website with all of her offerings at: <a href="http://www.paulascatoloni.com/" rel="nofollow">www.paulascatoloni.com</a></p><p>Find the <a href="https://www.polyvagalinstitute.org/" rel="nofollow">Polyvagal Institute website here</a>.</p><p>Purchase <a href="https://www.soundstrue.com/products/safe-and-sound" rel="nofollow">Safe and Sound: A polyvagal approach for connection, change and healing here</a>.</p><p>Therapists, <a href="https://traumatherapistnetwork.com/for-therapists" rel="nofollow">visit the new For Therapists page</a> on the Trauma Therapist Network website for discounts on training, recommended resources and more. </p><p>On behalf of our friends at Unyte Health, we are pleased to share this Trauma Recovery Toolkit, a free resource aimed to support you as you work with clients who present with trauma and nervous system dysregulation. <a href="https://learn.unyte.com/trauma-recovery-toolkit-laura-reagan" rel="nofollow">Download the toolkit</a> and access an exclusive discount code for the SSP training! </p><p>Find a trauma therapist near you via <a href="http://findtraumatherapy.com/" rel="nofollow">findtraumatherapy.com</a>!
