December 10, 2018 Episode 109: Wake Up Call with Alex Runolfson: Grief and Trauma
We're excited to have Alex Runolfosn on to talk about Grief and Trauma

About Alex:
I started Bloom Recovery after experiencing my own traumas and struggling find a truly helpful and safe environment to heal.
I know firsthand the pain people can experience, the courage it takes to ask for help, and the joy that can come from healing from the root. I have worked extensively with trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and all forms of addiction. I am trained in multiple theories and modalities and love creating unique and individualized approaches by combining EMDR, DBT, REBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Therapies, and a number of Mindfulness Approaches.
I love to travel and have been to 6/7 continents and hope to hit the last one, Antartica, soon. I have been to over 40 different countries and love to experience all different types of people, culture, cuisine, and adventure. I try to embrace life to the fullest and have sailed the pacific rim, scuba dived the great barrier reef, climbed mountains, skydived, caught wild crocodiles by hand in Africa, tracked and studied mountain lions in Argentina, just to name a few adventures.
I’m a geek at heart and love all things pop culture (be prepared for Harry Potter metaphors, Star Trek analogies, and any number of other references).
Although I can’t draw a balanced stick figure to save my life, and my singing voice is atrocious, I love to incorporate art, music, and overall creativity into my practice and encourage the people I work with to discover their creativity and tap into their own passions.
If you would like to know more about me all you have to do is ask.

November 05, 2018 Episode 105: Healing the Damage done by addiction with Children
This episode is the first in a series where we will be looking at recovery an healing in a family system. This episode focuses on what has happened in the family due to addiction and the resulting chaos and what is possible in healing those relationships in the future. This series was inspired by one of our own listeners who wrote:

"Hi, your podcasts have been a tremendous help. Could you do some on how to 'repair' the attachment and trauma damage done to children by remorseful parents? My kids are still under 10 yo and both me and my spouse are in recovery and realized we had unknowingly inflicted attachment and traumatic damages during the kids 0-4 years of age. What can we do henceforth to "reverse/repair/reduce" those wounds and damage suffered by the kids? Thanks... really appreciate it... "

Stay tuned for more deep dives in future episodes!

October 08, 2018 Episode 102: Effective Apologies
Every news cycle highlights something that someone wants an apology for. The apology rarely happens, and when it does, it is often underwhelming and leaves much to be desired. Jon and Jackie dissect a 2014 paper written by Stanford Psychologist Karina Schumann in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology that suggests a good apology has eight specific parts:

The words "I'm sorry."
The words "I was wrong," or some variation thereof.
An acknowledgment of the action being apologized for.
An honest description of the action without blaming others.
An emphasis on understanding how the wronged person has been hurt.
An outline of plans to make amends for the damage the was done.
An assurance that what's being apologized for won't happen again.
An ask for forgiveness.
