Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

525: Finding Motherhood with Dr. Vincentia Schroeter
Q: Question would be, can you tell us more about what's in your book and about your story that you wanted to help people with?
Vin describes Babymaking as a memoir about infertility, baby loss, hospital experiences, and the adoption journey, framed to illuminate how identity, femininity, and partnership are impacted, and how healing can emerge through openness, ritual, and bioenergetic work.
523: Yoga + Sexual Trauma - With Zabie Yamasaki
Q: What inspired you to write Trauma-Sensitive Yoga for Survivors of Sexual Assault and to develop the affirmation deck?
A lifelong commitment to bridging body and mind in healing; the book and deck emerged from years of trainings, teaching, and seeing how survivors benefit from embodied tools.
523: Yoga + Sexual Trauma - With Zabie Yamasaki
Q: How does Trauma-Informed Yoga fit into the healing journey for survivors of sexual violence?
It serves as an accessible entry point that helps survivors feel safe and connected, preparing the nervous system for further healing while complementing traditional therapy.
521: Marginalized Couples In Therapy with Akilah Riley Richardson
Q: Could you summarize how your PRIDE model changes the traditional approach to couples therapy?
The PRIDE model shifts focus from diagnosing or fixing partners to engaging with the broader system, inviting relational curiosity, and co-creating understanding with clients. It emphasizes pivoting from rigid frameworks to exploring how oppression and wider societal factors shape relationship dynamics, and it centers the couple as the experts of their own reality.
519: Expressive Arts Therapy + Trauma | Dr. Cathy Malchiodi
Q: We're interested in understanding the distinction between art therapy and expressive arts therapies and why it matters for practice.
The guest explains that art therapy centers on visual arts specifically, while expressive arts therapy integrates multiple modalities (image-making, movement, sound, storytelling) to engage several senses and pathways to healing, especially important for trauma where verbal expression may be limited.
