How do you find yourself after surviving an intensely traumatic event? One thing people don’t often realize about having PTSD is that it impacts the way in which you see everything, including yourself. Second guessing becomes first nature and distrust of everything becomes a way of life. But what if the way to overcome the impact of these events was to do the exact opposite; to lean into who you are and work on connecting inward?
Therapist Tiffany Cutrone tells us her personal story of surviving a kidnapping and sexual assault that lead her to distrusting herself so intensely that she forced herself to change who she was. In her healing story, she was able to find ways to identify when she was seeing life through a trauma lens and not in line with her authentic self. Through coming back to who she was, amplifying her voice in advocacy and a heavy dose of therapy, she realized that living as her authentic self was best for her AND the community of clients who need her.
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
Hear Tiffany’s story of surviving a highly traumatic event and how it impacted her identity.
Understand the role of self doubt after experiencing trauma.
Learn how advocacy work became a part of Tiffany’s healing.
Find ways and reasons to reconnect with yourself after surviving a traumatic event
An intense listen, but also incredibly inspiring.

If I could describe Arthalia in a word it would be joy.
Not artificial, superficial joy, but one that radiates into you just by being in her presence. I told her she needs to bottle her stuff up and sell it, because I would be first in line to get me some of that feeling. I would have never known in meeting her that less than just one year ago, she suffered a traumatic loss of her husband of 18 years, only to lose her son two months later.
“Where are the pockets of peace?” She would find herself asking when the waves of life continued to knock her over. Despite these losses, she managed to create a life that is incredibly full.
On this week's episode Arthalia Weekes, LCSW takes us through what it means to navigate loss while pouring into yourself. She shares how she went through milestone moments like birthdays, anniversaries and holidays while still creating space for emotions like love and happiness.
The holidays have a way of prescribing “everyone should be happy and grateful right now” to the world, and that tends to have people bracing for impact-especially after losing someone.
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
Learn tips for navigating hard times this season from Arthalia.
Hear her story of enduring traumatic loss in rapid succeeding and choosing to live life fully.
Learn what not to say to someone who is going through a hard time after loss.
Find ways to give yourself permission to experience positive emotions after a difficult loss.
Listen to this episode for a different perspective on grief, a dose of healing but most importantly, a sense of being whole.

If there’s one thing that is often not lacking during family gatherings, it’s unsolicited comments, opinions and advice about how you or others should look and be. There’s also usually a crap ton of food and drinks that get pushed on you and it can be hard to leave these gatherings with a sense of confidence and ease.
Today on T-Talk, I talk with Dr. Breese Annable, eating disorders specialist and DBT psychologist on all things body image, food and family parties when it comes to the holidays.
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
Learn why you need to treat your relationship with your body as if you were in couples therapy.

Find ways to manage body image and eating struggles during the holidays.

Ever wonder what makes a certain song stick with you?
Or why you crave certain music at different times in your life?
Today we talk about just that With Andy Freedman, LPC and Music Therapist from Philly!
In today’s episode we explore what music therapy is like and who can benefit from it. We talk about how much music acts as a mindfulness agent and social connector that helps all humans find healing in a meaningful way.
My favorite part of the episode is where we go through a music analysis of 3 very different songs and pull out reflection points for me. As usual, I could’ve kept talking forever, but I’m excited for you to listen to what we captured here.
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
Gain insights into the multifaceted world of music therapy, understanding its applications and discovering who stands to benefit the most from it.
Delve into the fascinating process of lyric analysis as we dissect three unique songs together, unraveling the profound stories they tell, and sharing how they affect each of us.
Witness how lyrics can serve as a powerful tool to unearth hidden emotions and feelings, often dormant within us, guiding us through different stages of self-discovery and healing.
Discover the significance behind me choosing 3 songs specifically from my high school era.
What song would you ask Andy to analyze and why?

What do you picture when you hear “domestic violence”? If you are like many, you imagine something stereotypical between a husband and wife with kids, and unfortunately so much is missing from that picture. How do you recognize you are in a damaging relationship if you haven’t seen relationships otherwise? Oftentimes, it’s not until you are out of a relationship that you understand that it was harmful.
Today on T-Talk, I talk with Dr. Kelly Gentry about intimate partner violence and her work with young adults, specifically-college aged women.
In today’s episode we unpack the intricacies of violence in romantic relationships, and the ways in which the victims in these relationships often get overlooked.
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
Learn the difference between domestic violence and intimate partner violence.
Hear about the power of sharing your story and having it heard when it comes to trauma recovery.
Find ways to utilize creativity in your healing as well as mindsets to avoid when approaching something new.
Listen to Dr. Gentry’s research findings in examining abusive relationships with college aged women.
Identify ways to help change the script.
Make sure to share this episode to help normalize this conversation because so many partners are living in silence or even unaware that partner violence actually pertains to their relationship.
