  • Host sounds like he’s asleep

    Listening to the interview with Alison Miller about RAMCO. She’s doing a great job explaining but the host sounds like he’s asleep or incredibly bored. He mumbles at times and his voice trails off to almost a whisper.

  • Promoting a private equity funded trauma therapy ??

    The treatment offered by Stella for PTSD has no RTCs to show it’s effective yet it’s promoted by this podcast. Shame on you. We have enough quackery in psychology and suffering patients deserve evidence based treatments not scams.

  • Please stop using the term “borderline”

    It’s misogynist and homophobic and disenfranchises people who meet that criteria from mental health care and health care more broadly. And please have clinicians discuss this matter NOT literature/philosophy professors.

    Let’s take an irrelevant term and then globalize it to be about society.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wednesdae Reim Ifrach, "Queer Expressions: Expressive Art and Somatic Therapy Practices for Healing Body Trauma" (North Atlantic Books, 2026)
Q: How do expressive arts and somatic therapy fit together as a framework rather than just a set of techniques?
The guest details the expressive arts continuum as a long-standing, somatic-by-nature framework that supports a client-centered, adaptable approach, with concrete examples from stages like sensory work, kinesthetic experience, and metaphorical mapping to help clients process trauma.
Wednesdae Reim Ifrach, "Queer Expressions: Expressive Art and Somatic Therapy Practices for Healing Body Trauma" (North Atlantic Books, 2026)
Q: Would you please start by introducing yourself, maybe talk a bit about your work, your background, and how it led you to writing this book?
The guest explains their background as an expressive arts therapist and somatic practitioner who has centered LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming care, describing how research and a pivotal editor's invitation shaped the book's field-facing goals and emphasis on lived experience, accessibility, and integrating cultural humility into practice.
Jay Belsky, "Nature of Nurture: Rethinking Why and How Childhood Adversity Shapes Development" (Harvard UP, 2026)
Q: And speaking of yourself, what experiences from your own childhood do you think shaped you as a scientist?
The host asks about personal childhood influences, and the guest reflects on a conflicted family background, noting how later research revealed that memories of childhood can be inaccurate, which pushed him to remain open-minded and empirical rather than dogmatic.
Marcia Bonato Warren, "Movement and IdentityMulticulturalism, Somatic Awareness and Embodied Code-Switching" (Singing Dragon, 2025)
Q: What is embodied code-switching and why is it important in your work?
Embodied code-switching is a somatic, lived process observed in moments of transition, such as travel or interacting across cultures, where the body adapts and expresses identity beyond language. It demonstrates how belonging and identity are negotiated in real time and informs therapeutic and teaching practices.
Marcia Bonato Warren, "Movement and IdentityMulticulturalism, Somatic Awareness and Embodied Code-Switching" (Singing Dragon, 2025)
Q: Can you tell us about the book and how it came into being?
The book arose from a personal journey through liminal spaces between cultures, using somatic counseling to make sense of multicultural identity and to heal fragmentation by embedding stories, grandparents, and family memories into a framework that blends research, teaching, and experiential exercises.
