It was a honor and pleasure having Jeff on the show!

In 2012, Jeff Tejcek founded Virtual EMDR after his own experience with EMDR changed his life completely. Diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) stemming from childhood abuse and neglect, Jeff struggled with anxiety, uncontrollable emotions, and self-esteem issues.

He set out to transform the traditional EMDR therapy process so that anyone struggling with difficult and painful emotions can access EMDR’s life transforming power –affordably, anonymously, and at any time regardless of their income or ability to access a therapist.

He is proud that Virtual EMDR has been able to help thousands of people since 2014, in particular the military vets and first responders who serve our communities.

"Veterans & Service Dog's: Beneath The Surface" Special Interview with Shannon Walker

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 18:47:11 +0000

In this episode I have the honor to have Shannon Walker on as a special guest!

Shannon is the founder and CEO of Northwest Battle Buddies.

Northwest battle buddies is a nonprofit dedicated to providing professionally trained service dogs to combat Veterans battling PTSD, at no cost to the Veteran. With a professional dog training career spanning nearly three decades, Shannon is renowned for her profound dedication and tireless service to our nation's heroes.

Born in Pendleton, Oregon, Shannon's lifelong passion for dogs and training propelled her into the world of Schutzhund—a European canine sport renowned for testing a dog's tracking, obedience, and protection skills. Training under the tutelage of 1988 world Schutzhund champion Gene England, Shannon acquired extensive experience and knowledge in this specialized training method. Her diligence led to a decade-long competitive career at local, regional, national, and international levels, culminating in her winning the 2003 European Championship in Diest, Belgium.

Shannon's dedication to canine development is exemplified by her successful establishment of Man's Best Friend Boarding and Training Kennel in Battle Ground, Washington, in 1997. Over the years, Shannon and her team have trained thousands of dogs, addressed various behavioral issues, and provided solutions for both family pets and service dogs.

In 2011, Shannon was approached by a U.S. Veteran of the Iraq conflict who sought her assistance with his service dog. Deeply moved by the transformative impact of the service dog on this Veteran's life, Shannon was inspired to found Northwest Battle Buddies in 2012. To date, NWBB has partnered hundreds of professionally trained dogs with Veterans from all branches of the U.S. military, with Shannon overseeing the extensive training and care of all dogs and handler instruction provided to each Veteran.

“Military Assault Victim Advocacy” Interview with Master Sergeant (Retired)Crystal C. Romero

Sun, 28 Jul 2024 17:02:08 +0000

It was an honor having Master Sergeant (Retired)Crystal C. Romero on the show!

Crystal is a military veteran who has served 16 1⁄2 years in the US Army National Guard, serving full-time Active-Duty Operational Support primarily in her home state of New Mexico.

Today, she is an activist for veterans’ causes and has had a significant role in passing legislation related to military sexual assault and veterans’ mental health.

In this episode she will discuss her motivations for joining the military as well as the powerful meaningful work she has done. Crystal also get's into discussion on many of the difficult aspects of her job that took an emotional toll of her well being.

After her honorable discharge, in 2014, Crystal struggled to adjust to civilian life and found herself battling depression and PTSD. That struggle is what prompted her to start volunteering to help other veterans, who are presumably, worse off than she is. This was to be her path to redemption and the way she plans to make her mark in the veteran’s community: through her advocacy.

Crystal always stood up for what she believed what was right no matter what the implications were. Which makes her an amazing person that I have had the pleasure to meet and have as a special guest.

My course will help you attain the following:

-Understand and relate to your supervisor, both clinical and otherwise.

"Saving the Behavioral Health Field " Interview with Kevin Doyle, Ed.D., Counselor Education and Benjamin Caldwell, PsyD, Marital and Family Therapy

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 13:00:12 +0000

It was a great pleasure having Kevin Doyle and Benjamin Caldwell on my show as special guests.

Benjamin starts the episode by expressing what his main motivations were for writing his book “Saving Psychotherapy”.

Then both Benjamin and Kevin give their professional insight into the mental health and addiction crisis as it comes to the professionals working in the behavioral health field. This entailed discussions on the current behavioral health field workforce issues from low staff, low pay, and the many behavioral health professionals leaving the field.

This also led the conversation to what we as a behavioral health professionals can do to improve these issues so the future generation of mental health and addiction professionals don't have to go through it.

We also asked the difficult questions on counselor supervision and the reasoning behind the number of required hours for licensure. The tough question being why is it at a certain number of hours? Do these hours represent higher adequate skills or professionalism? Is there research out there that supports the benefits of 3000 to 4000 post graduate supervision hours?

Why does it seem that every year it becomes more difficult to be a professional in the behavioral health field not only for the post graduate individuals but for the individual’s still in graduate school?

Benjamin and Kevin also get into information on policy’s and the state legislature so we as a profession can know what to do to ban together to improve these issues we are having in the behavioral health field to further avoid issues like reimbursement rates being reduced and substance use treatment centers from being shut down.

"Homeless in Vegas" (Part2) Interview with Holy Smoke Vegas's Shauna McQueen and Arthur “Doc” McClenaghan

Wed, 31 May 2023 15:35:32 +0000

It was an amazing honor having Holy Smoke Vegas's Shauna McQueen and Arthur “Doc” McClenaghan on the show to express how they got to the place they are in life and how they truly inspire others!

Arthur “Doc” McClenaghan and Shawna McQueen reach out to a community of people who live underground in the tunnels of Las Vegas. Under the glare of the neon lights of the Strip, an estimated 1,000 people have created homes in the sewer tunnels under the streets and sidewalks of glittering resorts. Along with the pitch darkness, when it rains, flash floods occur reaching heights of 10 to 20 feet wiping out makeshift camps and, tragically, drowning those who don’t reach safety in time.

Known for “cannabis, comedy, and charity,” Doc performs motivational standup comedy. In 2018, he created Holy Smoke Misfit Missionaries as a nonprofit out of their desire to help alleviate homelessness after informally volunteering for years.

Holy Smoke is a homeless outreach with a Vegas flair. Among our volunteers are comedians and other community advocates. Our mission is to help by providing life skills training and outreach services. Our teams specialize in assisting those who live in the maze of tunnels beneath Las Vegas’ streets.

Holy Smoke has been featured in magazines and news stories locally and internationally.

Holy Smoke’s mission is to radically reduce the homeless epidemic through lobbying and creating a professional series, to raise awareness and educate the public, using entertainment to help ease heartache.

Holy Smoke has appeared in magazines and news articles both locally and internationally.

"Ketamine Assisted Therapy" (Part 2) Interview with Samuel Ko, MD, MBA, FACEP, FAAEM

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 16:05:10 +0000

Today, we’re joined by Dr. Samuel Ko, a Board Certified Emergency Physician and medical director of Reset Ketamine in Palm Springs, California.

Dr. Ko completed his emergency residency training at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where the mission is “To Make Man Whole.” Dr. Ko takes this same holistic approach at Reset Ketamine, where he always makes sure to take into account the biology, psychology, sociology, and spirituality of his patients.

In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Ko and his wife Kim are co-creators of the online course Ketamine StartUp, which teaches other physicians how to start their own ketamine clinic.

Listen in as Dr. Ko reflects on the 20-year journey that brought him down the unique path he walks today in the world of healthcare, and does a deep dive into the ins-and-outs of ketamine and the four-stage process that all of his clients undergo at Reset Ketamine.

As a pre-medical student at Seattle University in Washington, he worked as a research technician at the University of Washington-Dept of Neurology studying neurosyphilis. He performed a variety of procedures on laboratory animals and, by happenstance, the medication that he used regularly to reduce their pain was ketamine!

Later on, Dr. Ko gained an interest in emergency medicine, and along the way met a number of mentors who taught him the importance of spirituality in healing. Coincidentally, his emergency medicine residency program at Loma Linda University Medical Center saw the expanded use of ketamine outside of the anesthesiology department and O.R., giving him even more experience with the dissociative anesthetic.

As fate would have it, Dr. Ko found running a conventional practice unfulfilling, not to mention corporate healthcare as a whole.

In April 2018, Dr. Ko opened Reset Ketamine in Palm Springs, California. Beyond the simple delivery of ketamine, he believes in looking at the holistic picture of patients, utilizing the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of medicine. Reset Ketamine offers a unique combination of preparation, intention, set and setting, and integration to support patients.

Dr. Ko’s mission? “To use ketamine as a catalyst to transform lives so others can find their ‘why.’”

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

● [04:02] What inspired Dr. Ko to become a doctor

● [12:50] Why Dr. Ko chose emergency medicine

● [16:05] Discussing resident pay and access to mental health resources

● [19:45] What drew Dr. Ko to ketamine-assisted therapy

● [23:07] What exactly is ketamine and what are its benefits as a therapeutic modality?

● [27:37] What patients can expect from ketamine-assisted therapy

● [32:51] The two medications that can decrease the effectiveness of ketamine-assisted therapy

● [37:25] About Ketamine StartUp

● [41:44] The four stages of ketamine-assisted therapy at Reset Ketamine

● [46:40] How to become an integration coach

● [48:00] How Dr. Ko speaks with potential clients whose therapist told them to avoid ketamine-assisted therapy

● [55:24] Barriers against the mainstream acceptance of ketamine-assisted therapy

"Psychedelic Healing" Interview with Emelyn Rozas

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 22:08:26 +0000

Today, we’re joined by Emelyn Rozas, a behavioral health specialist, artist, and psychedelic

advocate based in Toronto. She is a part of the executive management team at the Toronto

Psychedelic Community.

Listen in as Emelyn discusses how immigrating to Canada from Peru at a young age had a

direct influence on the path that she would later traverse in adulthood. She opens up about a

troubled childhood which included being a victim of pedophilia, and how a lack of resources and

support for the benefit of her mental health eventually led Emelyn to pursue the modality of

psychedelics.

Emelyn offers her advice to those who are considering psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and

other forms of therapeutic psychedelics. She also speaks on the major lessons she has learned

about healing past traumas. This includes the harsh reality that you may never be able to

forgive those who have harmed you, but the best thing you can do is forgive yourself and be

willing to let go of the shame that has held you back from growth.

She goes on to talk about her work with the Toronto Psychedelic Community and give her

thoughts on what she calls “the psychedelic renaissance”. Finally, Emelyn illustrates her hope

for a future in which “peer support and psychedelics merge”.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

● [02:36] How Emelyn got into the behavioral health field

● [07:46] How Emelyn prepared herself to try psychedelics as a modality

● [13:36] Determining when you may be ready to try psychedelics

● [16:42] Emelyn’s ayahuasca experience

● [20:25] Forgiving yourself and letting go of the shame from past traumas

● [24:10] Emelyn’s thoughts on the afterlife

● [26:10] Emelyn’s work with the Toronto Psychedelic Community

● [28:42] What continues to hold back research on psychedelics with regards to mental

health and addressing addiction

● [29:52] About microdosing

● [32:23] How psychedelics help with substance addiction

● [37:26] Psychedelics the first step to addressing your mental/emotional problems

● [44:05] About Emmelyn’s artwork and future goals

Key Quotes by Emelyn:

● Ayahuasca dissolves your sense of self: Everything gets fragmented. So, when you

come back from the experience, it is up to you to grab those fragments and put them

together for them to make sense, to get to the root of the things that are causing you

issues in your daily life.

● A bad ayahuasca trip is actually a good trip, because there are so many things to learn.

● Guilt and shame are normal human emotions just like joy and anger. But, we have to be

aware of the degree to which we feel them because they do affect us mentally and

emotionally.

● Coming to peace with impermanence—knowing that, one day, we’re not going to be

here anymore—allows us to pay attention and be present more, every day of our lives.

● Psychedelics do not fix problems. It shows you what the problems are. Then, you can

grab them and start to heal them one by one. It is a great tool of revelation to reveal

what’s hidden in the subconscious.

"Trauma Informed Care " Interview with Dr. Stephanie S. Covington, MSW, Ph.D

Sat, 17 Sep 2022 20:30:44 +0000

Dr. Stephanie Covington

Today, we’re joined by Dr. Stephanie Covington, an internationally recognized clinician, author, organizational consultant, and lecturer.

Listen in as Dr. Covington shares her upcoming appearance at the MARRCH Conference this October 24-26, 2022, during which she will give a keynote speech called “The Addiction-Trauma Connection”.

She then speaks on her journey in the recovery field and her particular focus on helping to improve interventions for women. She highlights the issue that treatment was originally designed for men, and so problems specific to women are often largely undressed. Further, there is often reluctance to share certain gender-specific struggles in mixed groups.

Dr. Covington also talks about her bestselling recovery book, A Woman's Way through The Twelve Steps and cautions against becoming too committed to a single approach to treatment since every patient is different.

Finally,Dr. Covington explains why the impact of trauma has been largely unacknowledged in the recovery field for so long, and her best practices that facilities and therapists would do well to improve their effectiveness in addressing trauma. She says that those seeking services need to see treatment centers as safe places, so that they are encouraged to open up and be led.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:

● [03:45] Dr. Covington’s keynote speech at this year’s MARRCH Conference

● [05:47] Why Dr. Covington developed an interest in the fields of addiction, trauma, and recovery

● [09:55] Why co-ed treatment groups do more harm than good

● [18:06] Considerations around men running female groups

● [23:29] About Dr. Covington’s bestselling recovery book, A Woman's Way through The Twelve Steps

● [26:40] What to offer someone who is unwilling to go through the Twelve Steps

● [30:04] Why it’s vital to address trauma as soon as possible

● [34:08] What can be improved in the field when it comes to addressing trauma

● [37:31] Dr. Covington’s describe her work

● [43:08] About Dr. Covington’s upcoming book

Key Quotes by Dr. Covington:

● Research shows that women do better in women-only treatment groups than in co-ed.

● It’s very hard for small programs to run gender-responsive treatment. It’s not impossible. It’s just hard. Women are better off in a group of two than they are in the group of ten men.

● When it comes to the effects of trauma, we’ve gone from denying to acknowledging, and we’ve gone from acknowledging to actually providing services.

You can’t change your family, but you can change yourself.

Entwine dating Interview with Anna Leonarda

Tue, 17 May 2022 02:37:11 +0000

About Anna!

Hello, I am an 8-year breast cancer survivor. Because of my many surgeries, including a double mastectomy, hysterectomy, and chemo, intercourse became too painful. Soon after, I developed a condition called vaginismus where internal penetration is impossible . I was married for 20 years and divorced 2 years ago. I thought to myself, how am I going to find someone who would want to be with me when I don't have a libido and can't have intercourse? I soon realized I wasn't alone. So many women who I have met in FB breast cancer support groups were struggling with the same issue. Painful intercourse, lack of libido, vaginismus. Choosing not to date because "no one will understand my condition". I knew something needed to be done. I wondered what do single men do that have Erectile Dysfunction (ED)? How do they explain to the person they are considering forming a relationship with that they have sexual limitations? The traditional dating apps out there would be a nightmare for individuals like us. That is when I invented my unique dating app called Entwine. Entwine takes the sexual expectations out of dating. Entwine helps ease this, often stressful, point of contention in relationships by matching you with like individuals who are experiencing or feeling the same as you.
