Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ADHD Nervous System Regulation: Beyond the Usual “Hacks,” w/ Deema Al-Omar
Q: What is one practical thing listeners can try to regulate their nervous system and support ADHD with brain spotting or related approaches?
In addition to somatic techniques, Deema highlights slowing down as a core practice—pausing when the body speeds up, reminding oneself that nothing is an emergency, and choosing deliberate movements over rushed actions to create time and space for regulation.
ADHD Nervous System Regulation: Beyond the Usual “Hacks,” w/ Deema Al-Omar
Q: How does brain spotting work for ADHD brains, and what makes it suitable for neurodivergent clients?
Brain spotting uses eye positions as access points into deeper brain processes, allowing for somatic processing of trauma or activation without requiring constant verbal processing. It's flexible for clients who may plateau with talk therapy and can address a range of experiences from trauma to performance and creativity.
ADHD Nervous System Regulation: Beyond the Usual “Hacks,” w/ Deema Al-Omar
Q: What drew you to this work, and why do you do the work that you do as a therapist?
Deema describes being drawn to social work to help people, with a focus on navigating hard moments and building an anchor for healing. She emphasizes a long-term commitment to the work and the belief that therapy is a deeply sacred space, not just a quick fix.
Decentering the Medical Model: There's Nothing Wrong with You, w/ Halle Thomas
Q: What prompted Halle to divest from the medical model?
She explains that personal health struggles and observations of how the medical system often pathologizes rather than attunes to real needs pushed her toward a model that centers autonomy, conversation, and systemic awareness.
Decolonial & Ancestral Healing through Psychedelic Medicines, w/ Mariya Javed-Payne
Q: Could you speak to what a decolonial approach to psychedelic medicines would look like?
Centering Indigenous stewards, giving them leadership in policymaking and practice, rejecting extractive and profit-driven models, and building true reciprocity with medicines, communities, and the land. The goal is to move away from performative representation and toward genuine guidance, consent, and shared governance.
