We also chat about many other topics:

  • Passion kicking motivation in the ass
  • Getting education about therapy out in the world
  • What are other areas of crisis response people don't think about
  • What's the definition of a First Responder
  • How are we as therapists and therapists in therapy ourselves
  • And I win Word of the Day!

PLEASE NOTE: There are multiple topics we discuss that listeners may find upsetting and/or activating to them, including trauma including brief discussion of suicide and death.

Straight out of the gate, you got a reference to Star Trek red shirts…and it spirals out from there.

This episode is following up to the first episode (prior to kicking off Season 5) with my cohost, No. 1 Child, and breaking my own rules for editing.

It didn’t yield what we thought it would, so…we cover a lot of things: television, movies*, music, actors, artists, AI, ChatGPT.

So it’s a rambling episode, put it on the background and feel free to laugh at us or with us!

*The movie that the music video by Annie Lennox “Walking On Broken Glass” was inspired by the movie, “Dangerous Liaisons” with Glen Close and John Malkovich. Not Amadeus as discussed in this episode.

This is the fourth one that brought one of my favorite people together with me to chat about things we find important.

* * *

I have one of my favorite people, Veronica Green, chatting with me. 

As with most of the people that I know, and definitely among my friends group, she is incredibly passionate about service to/for/with others. And this means for her, using her voice to advocate for those who are unable to speak up and advocate for themselves - her students.

We cover everything from how we first met, to Veronica's adventures in teaching, people trying to find the meaning of their human existence, to her new podcast. 

We get sweary, we laugh a lot, and at the end of the episode, curse motorcycles interrupting our discussions.

Veronica Green is a Midwest Mama with a K-12 license in ESL (English as a Second Language) in the state of Minnesota. Bilingual in Spanish and a language nerd at heart, she holds a Master’s in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and a Master’s in Conflict Resolution. She has a background in case management, business, music, and has homemade soup and baked goods game.

Veronica is the host and producer of her brand new podcast focusing on student and teacher advocacy called “Use Your Teacher Voice.”

She lives in St. Paul with her partner, two daughters, old puppy, young kitty, trees and garden.

I was incredibly fortunate that my guest, Bhavna Raithatha had time on her day off to sit and chat with me for this episode.

Bhavna is a force of nature: teaching, speaking, volunteering. She's got an incredible survival journey through her life of multiple traumas and experienced racism since she was a young girl, and she's using her voice to advocate and educate folx. And even if my power messed up a chunk of the chat with Bhavna, there's so much of her journey she tells that I feel gives yet another perspective of a lived experience.

PLEASE NOTE:
We discuss the following topics that may be distressing to listeners - various trauma experiences, stalking and violence, loss, abuse, medical issues, suicide/suicidal ideation, racism.

More info on Bhavna:
Bhavna Raithatha BSc, MSc, MBACP (Accred) is a Psychotherapist, Supervisor, Speaker, Coach, Critical Debriefer & Trainer, and Pride 365 Champion. Bhavna provides inclusive and affirming therapy for marginalised communities including BAME LGBTQIAA+ individuals. She also provides personalised coaching and support packages to clients at all levels in the corporate, private and voluntary sectors.

More about Sebastian:
Sebastian was born and raised in a single-parent family - Mum and 3 brothers. After doing reasonably well at school and then university he joined the British Army as an Education Officer, reaching the rank of Major over a 17 year career. This was followed by his second career as a High School Teacher of Mathematics, teaching at a variety of schools in both the UK and the USA.  He also took a 4-year sabbatical in the middle of this time to work in the construction industry as everything from labourer to site manager while he took a second bachelor's degree in Construction Management. 

Sebastian moved to the USA in order to marry his girlfriend of three years (refers to their relationship, not his girlfriend's age!) four-and-a-half years ago, following a two-year ordeal with the US Immigration Services, during which he was deported back to the UK twice!  He's now working in his retirement gig, and living very happily back in the UK with his wife, Lynn, and her son, Brody.

In this episode, I asked a colleague, Catherine Bass LISW LSW, to sit with me and chat about Play Therapy. My knowledge is just the basics from when I was in my master’s program and I work exclusive with adults 18 years and older. So I really wanted to know more about Play Therapy and its benefits for those kids under the age of 12 years.

Catherine Bass, LISW LSW, is the founder and owner of Playful Minds Therapeutic Services, PLLC. She’s a child therapist who is dedicated to providing compassionate, trauma-informed therapy to children and families, using the language of children (PLAY!). 

“I specialize in child therapy utilizing the power of play as a primary intervention for social emotional and/or behavioral concerns including anxiety or depression, aggression and anger management, grief and loss, life transitions, low self-esteem, general parenting support, and trauma, abuse or neglect. I believe every child and family has the right, and the ability, to succeed; and I am passionate about working as a partner with the families I serve to help them achieve their goals.”

Fuck The Rules Podcast
Orginally aired: 01/23/2024

My guest, Sarah Wagener, tLMHC is back for another episode. It's the final episode in the series "WTF Is (therapy type)?" In Season 4.

Sarah is working specifically in perinatal care and reproductive health, in addition to several other behavioral health disorders, and I knew I wanted to chat with her about her what perinatal mental health looks like in her office and educating other health professionals, as well as discussing Trauma Informed Care.

PLEASE NOTE:
We discuss the following topics that may be distressing to listeners - various trauma experiences, pregnancy/birth, loss, abuse.

More info on Sarah:
Sarah is a mental health counselor located in Davenport, Iowa, where she was born and raised. She specializes in perinatal mental health, which encompasses mental health during or after pregnancy, birth trauma, postpartum, infertility, and loss. Sarah came to perinatal mental health through her prior work in labor, delivery, and postpartum as a registered nurse. She also offers an area of speciality for healthcare workers. Sarah runs Wagener Therapy with her husband Brandal, who is also a mental health counselor. In her spare time, she enjoys loving on her two dogs, reading, playing video games, and buying more plants than she has the space for.

Orginally aired: 01/02/2024

One of my favorite people, a colleague,Lynn Polhill joins me to talk about her journey to working with teens. A genuine, kind, wicked smart, hilarious person and I'm also fortunate to be friends with her!

More info about Lynn:
"Lynn was born, the only daughter of sharecroppers, living rough in the hills of Tennessee... A BIO!!! Fuck that.  I'm just me.  Which is to say, no one particularly special or important or caught up in trying to make it so.  I was born, and moved 5 times before leaving home the first time @ 14, then 3 more times before leaving home for good @ 16.  I majored in Guidance & Counseling, graduated with a BA at the age of 20, and couldn't take myself seriously.  I moved to NYC, learned some things, moved to South Carolina and learned more.  Over the next 23 years I then began a parade of 12 moves that would cover 5 states, and offer a plethora of titles and experiences like no university can manage.  Somewhere along the way I grew up a little, realized I needed to take my career seriously for my son's sake, and decided to get my MA in Marriage & Family Counseling so that I could legitimately claim to do what I'd been doing for 25 years, offering sage wisdom like a bubble gum wrapper could only aspire to produce.  

In 2016 I began working as a therapist with kids in the East Moline district, and in 2020 decided to take a chance on UTHS in making them an offer they couldn't refuse.  I was contracted to be an independent therapist working full time as part of CoVId recovery attempts with the students there.  Since then I've written many memos and emails, subsequently deleted, questioning why I chose that population, and offering not so sage advice on what to do with our current population of lost and lonely adolescents. I've been a sitting member of numerous disciplinary meetings, problem solving teams, risk assessment forums and after school clubs, all aimed at providing exactly what I've always wanted to do:  Support and advocate for kids with their families and communities, while staying in the shade of their enthusiastic youth. Along the way I've made some friends, met some really amazing people and hopefully been able to effect the lives of kids and parents for the good.I've never

Orginally aired: 12/05/2023

When you think about a sex therapist, do y'all bring to mind multiple films or shows that have the therapist sleeping with their clients? That's not a certified sex therapist. It's a work of storytelling that's not true to that specific therapy.

I'm grateful to Michele that she gave me some of her free time to discuss what her experiences have been in the journey to being a certified sex therapist, work with clients and what she feels how this type of therapy helps clients.

PLEASE NOTE: there are multiple topics discussed including frank sexual discussion.

For more info on Michele:
Michele LaReau-Alves is an LMHC, and AASECT certified sex therapist, working in private practice with couples and sexual issues. She worked in community mental health for 20 years where she started out addressing the complex struggles of children and families in the social services system. This led to a passion for working with the core unit of the family system, couples, and parents, who are instrumental in breaking the cycles of intergenerational trauma. Over the years she has cultivated an approach that reinforces the need for joy, pleasure, and a sense of wellbeing in life; and where mindfulness and wellness are foundational. Her work as a relationship and sex therapist invites the many expressions of relationship, identity, and sexuality into the process of finding healing and reconnection, while also identifying and shifting the cycles and narratives that keep us stuck and hurting.

Dr. Karen Cramer, owner and optometrist of her practice 20/20 Eyecare Solutions, joins me to have a layman's discussion of our personal experiences with our health and mental health, and how we found our eating habits affected it. 

We do talk about food and nutrition, but we don't set out to demonize foods. Everyone has to eat according to what they have access to, what is affordable, and what environment folx have to prepare their food in. From each of our specific careers, we see how nutrition affects those persons we work with as well as our colleagues, family and friends.

My guest, Kristie Fuller, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I found her account on Instagram, and it was sweary love at first read of her material she was posting. Kristie is putting herself out there to be her authentic self as a therapist. This means going against what most of us were taught in grad school of doing it old school with suit and tie.

Kristie and I discuss our experiences in bringing authenticity to our careers and our clients. And let the F-bombs fly!
********
Kristie Fuller is a practicing LMHC via telehealth for clients in Florida, by being her sweary genuine self: " I help people who are intimidated by stuffy, bored, tired, and traditional style therapy. It's just fuckin' therapy, right? Why can't it be more direct, more brash, real, down to earth, and genuine without all the bullshit?

I specialize in working with adults who are ready to deepen their awareness of their internal landscape, so that they can understand who they are, what they are thinking and feeling, and how those interact to create behaviors.

My practice is welcoming to everyone looking for someone who is dedicated to creating an environment that is inclusive, diverse, LGBT friendly, sex-positive and neurodivergent-affirming.  My clients enjoy working with me because I create a safe space for them to be truly their authentic self. "

Music.

For most persons it is all through their lives, celebrations, losses, just living. It reminds us of events, places, people, history, and who we are as individuals.

I was lucky to grab my friend, Derek Fortin, former lead singer for The Dawn (among his other participation in several bands), to discuss how he sees music in his life while also being an RN and now a director in the medical world. And we also get into how music moves other humans, how it can express things we think, feel or live but we're unable to put it into what we feel are the right words.

One of my favorite lyrics is from one of the songs by Paul Simon: 
My life's so common it disappears
And sometimes even music
Cannot substitute for tears
- Cool, Cool River, album: The Rhythm of the Saints - released 1990

Music is a powerful medium to evoke serious emotions of joy, resignation, anger, love and/or sadness. And understanding what another human is living, connecting us to one another.

I was incredibly fortunate that my guest, Bhavna Raithatha had time on her day off to sit and chat with me for this episode.

Bhavna is a force of nature: teaching, speaking, volunteering. She's got an incredible survival journey through her life of multiple traumas and experienced racism since she was a young girl, and she's using her voice to advocate and educate folx. And even if my power messed up a chunk of the chat with Bhavna, there's so much of her journey she tells that I feel gives yet another perspective of a lived experience.

PLEASE NOTE:
We discuss the following topics that may be distressing to listeners - various trauma experiences, stalking and violence, loss, abuse, medical issues, suicide/suicidal ideation, racism.

Season 4 Episode 15

One of my favorite people, a colleague,Lynn Polhill joins me to talk about her journey to working with teens. A genuine, kind, wicked smart, hilarious person and I'm also fortunate to be friends with her!

More info about Lynn:
"Lynn was born, the only daughter of sharecroppers, living rough in the hills of Tennessee... A BIO!!! Fuck that.  I'm just me.  Which is to say, no one particularly special or important or caught up in trying to make it so.  I was born, and moved 5 times before leaving home the first time @ 14, then 3 more times before leaving home for good @ 16.  I majored in Guidance & Counseling, graduated with a BA at the age of 20, and couldn't take myself seriously.  I moved to NYC, learned some things, moved to South Carolina and learned more.  Over the next 23 years I then began a parade of 12 moves that would cover 5 states, and offer a plethora of titles and experiences like no university can manage.  Somewhere along the way I grew up a little, realized I needed to take my career seriously for my son's sake, and decided to get my MA in Marriage & Family Counseling so that I could legitimately claim to do what I'd been doing for 25 years, offering sage wisdom like a bubble gum wrapper could only aspire to produce.  

In 2016 I began working as a therapist with kids in the East Moline district, and in 2020 decided to take a chance on UTHS in making them an offer they couldn't refuse.  I was contracted to be an independent therapist working full time as part of CoVId recovery attempts with the students there.  Since then I've written many memos and emails, subsequently deleted, questioning why I chose that population, and offering not so sage advice on what to do with our current population of lost and lonely adolescents. I've been a sitting member of numerous disciplinary meetings, problem solving teams, risk assessment forums and after school clubs, all aimed at providing exactly what I've always wanted to do:  Support and advocate for kids with their families and communities, while staying in the shade of their enthusiastic youth. Along the way I've made some friends, met some really amazing people and hopefully been able to effect the lives of kids and parents for the good.I've never followed a damn rule in my life, not because I w

Clearing Up Myths & Misconceptions WTF Is Sex Therapy? Clearing Up Myths & Misconceptions Fuck The Rules Podcast
Season 4 Episode 11

When you think about a sex therapist, do y'all bring to mind multiple films or shows that have the therapist sleeping with their clients? That's not a certified sex therapist. It's a work of storytelling that's not true to that specific therapy.

I'm grateful to Michele that she gave me some of her free time to discuss what her experiences have been in the journey to being a certified sex therapist, work with clients and what she feels how this type of therapy helps clients.

PLEASE NOTE: there are multiple topics discussed including frank sexual discussion.

For more info on Michele:
Michele LaReau-Alves is an LMHC, and AASECT certified sex therapist, working in private practice with couples and sexual issues. She worked in community mental health for 20 years where she started out addressing the complex struggles of children and families in the social services system. This led to a passion for working with the core unit of the family system, couples, and parents, who are instrumental in breaking the cycles of intergenerational trauma. Over the years she has cultivated an approach that reinforces the need for joy, pleasure, and a sense of wellbeing in life; and where mindfulness and wellness are foundational. Her work as a relationship and sex therapist invites the many expressions of relationship, identity, and sexuality into the process of finding healing and reconnection, while also identifying and shifting the cycles and narratives that keep us stuck and hurting.

You can find her on Psychology Today:

Season 4 Episode 11

When you think about a sex therapist, do y'all bring to mind multiple films or shows that have the therapist sleeping with their clients? That's not a certified sex therapist. It's a work of storytelling that's not true to that specific therapy.

I'm grateful to Michele that she gave me some of her free time to discuss what her experiences have been in the journey to being a certified sex therapist, work with clients and what she feels how this type of therapy helps clients.

PLEASE NOTE: there are multiple topics discussed including frank sexual discussion.

For more info on Michele:
Michele LaReau-Alves is an LMHC, and AASECT certified sex therapist, working in private practice with couples and sexual issues. She worked in community mental health for 20 years where she started out addressing the complex struggles of children and families in the social services system. This led to a passion for working with the core unit of the family system, couples, and parents, who are instrumental in breaking the cycles of intergenerational trauma. Over the years she has cultivated an approach that reinforces the need for joy, pleasure, and a sense of wellbeing in life; and where mindfulness and wellness are foundational. Her work as a relationship and sex therapist invites the many expressions of relationship, identity, and sexuality into the process of finding healing and reconnection, while also identifying and shifting the cycles and narratives that keep us stuck and hurting.

You can find her on Psychology Today:

It's always a bit of a surprise to me to find other podcast hosts/producers out in the wild. And it was a delight to meet my guest, Collin Strajack, at the local Pride Fest activities back in June 2023. We had a lot to discuss and especially so after I did a dive into his podcast episodes.

He's worth your time to listen to his episodes, so I hope you hop over to his show after this episode!

PLEASE NOTE: there are discussions about substance use disorder, and suicide in this episode.

This episode was a delight to host with my guest, Sarah Wagener, tLMHC!

Sarah is working specifically in perinatal care and reproductive health, in addition to several other behavioral health disorders, and I knew I wanted to chat with her about her journey to becoming a therapist in a specialized area.

More info on Sarah:
Sarah is a mental health counselor located in Davenport, Iowa, where she was born and raised. She specializes in perinatal mental health, which encompasses mental health during or after pregnancy, birth trauma, postpartum, infertility, and loss. Sarah came to perinatal mental health through her prior work in labor, delivery, and postpartum as a registered nurse. She also offers an area of speciality for healthcare workers. Sarah runs Wagener Therapy with her husband Brandal, who is also a mental health counselor. In her spare time, she enjoys loving on her two dogs, reading, playing video games, and buying more plants than she has the space for.

I had the great good fortune to have a long conversation with the founder and CEO (as well as being an author) of Microcosm Publishing, Joe Biel.

Joe generously gifted me time from a busy schedule, running a successful independent publishing company to talk about coming to publishing, discussing the journey to where the company is now, and how mental health has been presented in books in previous years and what the books that are being written look like in more recent years. 

Full disclosure, I'm a fan of Microcosm Publishing being a consumer of many of their books.

This final new episode of 2022 is hella good fun, interesting and I enjoyed my too short time chatting with Joe.

My guest, Don McCasland, LCSW-CCTP, owner and therapist of Warrior Elder Counseling, is back to discuss processing trauma. We also discuss many things about humans and trauma, how it affects some persons, how other folx manage to tackle their symptoms, and how others continue in their struggle.

PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion of  trauma, war trauma as well as the Club Q shooting that happened in Colorado Springs, CO in November 2022.

Season 2 Hiatus Special No. 3

I had the great good fortune to have a long conversation with the founder and CEO (as well as being an author) of Microcosm Publishing, Joe Biel.

Joe generously gifted me time from a busy schedule, running a successful independent publishing company to talk about coming to publishing, discussing the journey to where the company is now, and how mental health has been presented in books in previous years and what the books that are being written look like in more recent years.

Full disclosure, I'm a fan of Microcosm Publishing being a consumer of many of their books.

This final new episode of 2022 is hella good fun, interesting and I enjoyed my too short time chatting with Joe.


PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion of suicide/suicidal ideation, and trauma.

Season 2 Hiatus Special No. 2

Whenever I hear the word "narcissistic," I always call to mind Eddie Izzard's "Deathstar Canteen" sketch especially this segment:
"Do you know who I am?"
"Do you know who *I* am?"
"This is not a game of Who The F*ck Are You..."

The term narcissistic gets used incorrectly all over the place, but Narcissistic Personality Disorder causes some serious damage in many relationships.

CEO and creator of The M.A.D. Beyond, Alexandra Skinner Walsh, joins me to discuss one area she has been working with clients for many years. It's been an area of such passion for Alex that she's gone and created an online ecourse about the personality disorder and how it affects persons in families and other relationships.

Season 2 Episode 10

In this Season 2 final episode, one of my favorite people, Veronica Green, chats with me. 

As with most of the people that I know, and definitely among my friends group, she is incredibly passionate about service to/for/with others. And this means for her, using her voice to advocate for those who are unable to speak up and advocate for themselves - her students.

We cover everything from how we first met, to Veronica's adventures in teaching, people trying to find the meaning of their human existence, to her new podcast. 

We get sweary, we laugh a lot, and at the end of the episode, curse motorcycles interrupting our discussions.

Veronica Green is a Midwest Mama with a K-12 license in ESL (English as a Second Language) in the state of Minnesota. Bilingual in Spanish and a language nerd at heart, she holds a Master’s in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and a Master’s in Conflict Resolution. She has a background in case management, business, music, and has homemade soup and baked goods game.

Veronica is the host and producer of her brand new podcast focusing on student and teacher advocacy called “Use Your Teacher Voice.” 

She lives in St. Paul with her partner, two daughters, old puppy, young kitty, trees and garden.

We also chat about her experience as a SASS (Screening, Assessment and Support Services) crisis therapist, getting supervision, community mental health and law enforcement/mobile crisis, as well as her work now in private practice.
