  • Phenomenal Mental Health Podcast

    I recently had the opportunity to be a guest on The Trauma Therapist Podcast, and it was one of the most enjoyable podcast experiences I’ve had.

    Guy is an exceptional host. He creates a relaxed, conversational atmosphere that makes it easy to share openly and naturally. Rather than rushing through a list of prepared questions, he truly listens. He followed my story thoughtfully, picked up on important details, and asked insightful questions that deepened the conversation in meaningful ways.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Accessing The Deep Unconscious with Deanna Chrones
Q: What evidence supports Tholage, and what research has been conducted?
Two pilot clinical trials were conducted with nurses and clinicians, showing large effect sizes across PTSD, anxiety, depression, and emotion regulation, with ongoing IRB-approved research to expand outcomes.
The Accessing The Deep Unconscious with Deanna Chrones
Q: What are the core components of Tholage and how do they work together?
Tholage centers on activating emotions through iLifts, engaging memory reconsolidation via somatic exercises, and then applying calming techniques; together these steps aim to alter the emotional memory and body response to trauma.
The Accessing The Deep Unconscious with Deanna Chrones
Q: How did Deanna come to develop Tholage and its central iLift technique?
She began by using body-based methods to address her own trauma after her father's death, gradually combining hypnosis, neurobiology, and memory reconsolidation to create a structured four-phase protocol that emphasizes somatic activation paired with calming exercises.
DID Is In Your Office with Dr. Adrienne Fletcher
Q: What was it like to share your story publicly as a psychologist and leader in the field?
She describes the emotional difficulty, the support from a mentor, the mixed reactions of colleagues, and the importance of speaking out to normalize DID and encourage therapist self-work.
DID Is In Your Office with Dr. Adrienne Fletcher
Q: What changes when you finally understood the DID and began treatment—what did you wish therapists had done differently?
Adrienne laments the lack of education and training about DID among clinicians, wishing earlier clinicians were more informed to avoid misdiagnoses and unnecessary inpatient care.
