Episode 70: Trail Mix - Real Life, Real Applications

Join Samuel, Julie, and Sarah for their group thera-I mean "Trail Mix" episode as they discuss a plethora of real life applications. We talk Sarah's boundaries and Samuel's awareness.
Was there a boundary that you solidified recently? What was the result?
Is there something that you’re becoming more aware of? Something to be curious about?
The beauty of trail mix is that you take what is relevant to you. What is your nugget to take away?

Episode 69: Off the Beaten Path with Karen Young

Join Samuel, Julie, and Sarah as they chat with author and psychologist Karen Young. We have a dedicated episode to Hey Warrior and you might have heard her name mentioned on here in the past. Karen brings her passion for mental health in children. We talk a variety of engaging topics like how we can talk about complex things by starting conversations or how emotions are hard when we feel lonely in them. This is definitely a must-listen-to episode.
Make sure you check out Karen's website and her new book!

Episode 68: Unpack That ”Childhood Disrupted”

Join Julie as she covers "Childhood Disrupted: How Your Biography Becomes Your Biology, and How You Can Heal" by Donna Jackson Nakazawa. As you can tell, there is a lot to "unpack" here, so this is definitely an episode to check out!
 
Julie talks about the linkage between our experiences as a child and how that impacts our adulthood. This book is great at linking ACEs and the physical imprint that trauma leaves on our brain. Sit down, enjoy a hot drink, and let Julie unpack "Childhood Disrupted!"

Episode 67: Walls and Explosions (How to avoid them)

In this episode, the crew discusses the real-life applications of uncontrolled boundaries. Will there be a boundary violation or a wall put up?
Both of these can keep you out of the window of tolerance; there are better ways to solve your problems. Walk with Samuel, Julie, and Sara as we traverse good mental health together!

Episode 66: BOOM (Boundaries)

In our 10th episode we finally revisit boundaries. Boundaries are key for maintaining a healthy mental outlook in your day to day.  Julie says boundaries are "where you end and the world begins." Understanding your limitation is a benefit to yourself and everyone else, even if it means saying "no." We discuss the protective and the containing parts of boundary work so that you can be secure and connected.
What is the first step towards healthy boundaries? Can boundaries ever be unhealthy?

Episode 65: Your Birthrights

I am so excited to publish this episode about our 5 birthrights and a return to Pia Mellody's Model. This episode is critical to understanding the perspective we bring to the table at Community Routes. This whole episode is full of personal breakthroughs for Samuel and Sarah as we tackle some significant topics. What rights are we owed as humans? Where are we wounded?
As Julie will cover, "to look at these core issues is not to blame, but to get our story straight."
 
PS. Check out the graph we talk about on Julie's website!

Episode 63: Identifying My Littles (Pia)

Join Samuel, Julie, and Sarah as they discuss what it feels like to be in a wounded child, adapted adolescent or a functional adult state.  You might remember our episode on the Window of Tolerance, which comes into play here.  When we are outside of our window, we tend to act like a wounded child or an adapted adolescent.   We go over a couple of different feelings that are associated with each ego state.

Episode 62: Unpack That ”Raising Human Beings”

Join Julie as she unpacks Ross Greene's book, Raising Human Beings: Creating a Collaborative Partnership with Your Child.  While this covers parenting, Julie talks about how this applies to everyone; we all have an inner child to nourish.  Julie goes over our "littles" and a cohesive sense of self.  It's about being able to see and support the person in front of you; not forcing them to be what you want them to be. This is a fantastic episode!
Exclusive: Julie also shares her secret note-taking color code (spoilers: orange is a key thought and pink is favorites.  Keep an eye out for them!)

Episode 60: Secure and Compromised Attachment

Pour yourself a hot drink and join Samuel, Julie, and Sarah as they talk about different forms of attachment.  This is commonly talked about in terms of parent-child, but we apply it to other relationships as well.  We answer questions like how do secure attachments differ from compromised attachments? how do attachments impact relationships? What does the inner dialogue sound like in a secure attachment relationship?
