Trauma Competence in the Age of Mass Violence

Join Amy C. O'Neill and Jami Amo for a discussion about the apathy and complacency from our government, the media, and the general public around gun violence and mass shootings.

Jami Amo is a survivor of the 1999 Columbine shooting and volunteer with The Rebels Project and Orange Wave for Gun Safety in Pennsylvania. She focuses primarily on victim and survivor support, and gun safety policy. Jami is also a contributor to the anthology If I Don't Make It, I Love You published in September 2019.

Amy C. O'Neill has built a career in mental health over two and a half decades, and traveled a personal path that has proven over and over again that resilience is key to truly living healthy, both in mind and body. Resilience enables us to face tragedy and still take the necessary steps to go through. Resilience is mandatory for us to recover to well when obstacles interfere. And, as Amy can attest, resilience can be harnessed. After methodically training and successfully completing three Ironman Triathlons, and the prestigious Boston Marathon five times, Amy knows how mental and physical focus can lead to success. Perhaps her biggest life test was being thrust into the role of a Boston Marathon Bombing Survivor. Amy's goal is to share her keen and personal insight with others on how we can not only survive challenges, but also thrive and create a life we love.

Join Martha Juchnowski, Adam Klugman, and Kristin as they discuss why the highly empathic or empaths seem to live in a poverty of self-care mindset. Can we truly give to others when we barely give to ourselves? Why do we sometimes believe we are being narcissistic if we put ourselves first and accept who we truly are from a spiritual perspective? How can you live in a state of cheerleading others' potential when you minimize your own? Can small shifts in perspective help us get comfortable with taking up space for our own needs?

Take a walk with us for this special episode of The Healing Room.

Join counselor Laura Bligh and Kristin as they talk about shame in a different light when it comes to narcissistic abuse.

About Laura: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/laura-bligh-lmhc-geneseo-ny/403548

I believe each of us has the ability to heal from emotional pain and damage to our self-esteem. I believe to do this, the source of the "original wound/s" must be identified along with the resulting false image we came to have of ourselves. I believe this is Essential in order to produce change in our behavior... which produces Change in our lives. I believe that a Good Fit between a person and his/her therapist is also Essential to the therapeutic process. Change can be one baby step at a time or a sudden "growth spurt." I believe knowledge is empowering. And I believe in self-compassion and perseverance. And laughter.
I would describe my approach as "person centered" with the primary goal being the development of a solid/healthy sense of self and appropriate boundaries which serve to protect from what is harmful and to PROMOTE what is BENEFICIAL. A SPECIALTY of mine is Narcissistic Abuse Recovery. I enjoy helping people work thru grief. And... Much more.

What is irreverent growth? How do you get help for mental health when you aren't a part of the "just be positive and say affirmations" crowd? How do you find your peeps that will go deep with you and not be afraid of catching "negative cooties"? What does it look like to be irreverent and be conscious?

Join our guests, Sarah Buino and Roxan McDonald, with our host Kristin Walker for a funny and profound discussion about all of the above!
