Across the world, hypnosis is often misunderstood and treated like a gimmick. It’s used for entertainment at shows, overly dramatized in television and movies, and we rarely learn the power it has to help us access our own inner wisdom.

Wendy is a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of clinical experience. She now trains, offers consultation, and runs her own practice, Lemke Counseling & Consulting.

In the world of trauma recovery you can be an expert, and still find it challenging to navigate your own trauma recovery. In today’s episode Guy Macpherson shares his personal path through earning a doctorate in clinical psychology, treating early psychosis, and sharing expert insights on trauma and healing through his podcast. With all the training and knowledge he has gained, Guy shares that authenticity, connection and “humanness” lay at the heart of healing. He shares how challenging it can be to recognize your own experience of trauma and dissociation. He also shares how, through his own personal experience, he learned that things like bullying and divorce can be traumatic.
In 2014 Guy founded The Trauma Therapist Project to raise awareness of trauma, and create an educational and supportive community for new trauma workers. Now, the associated podcast has hundreds of episodes and an audience in more than 160 countries. As Guy explains, a determined approach to help trauma victims can go a long way, regardless of a therapist’s level of experience.

Why is dissociation so hard for even mainstream psychologists to understand? How can we better diagnose Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Our guest, Dr. Simone Reinders, helps us explore the answers.
Dr. Reinders is a leader and international expert in the neurobiology of dissociation. She was the first to provide evidence that DID is related to early traumatization, and her research has been pivotal in our understanding of it. As a Senior Research Associate & Lecturer at the Department of Psychological Medicine in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London, Dr. Reinders has shown that DID and post-traumatic stress disorder share neurostructural biomarkers. We also talk about how Dr. Reinders’ work can aid the diagnosis of DID, which also points to how machine learning could assist in the diagnostic process.

Cultural betrayal can have a painful impact on entire groups of people, but there are ways to overcome it. In a continuation of a conversation we started with Dr. Jennifer Gómez, we dive into the concept of “DreamStorming”, and explore the bigger picture of cultural, racial, and gender privileges. At the end, just when we thought we were finished, our producer Christine sparks up a passionate debate on how the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade is a powerful example of cultural betrayal for many women. Please listen to our previous episode with Dr. Gómez, if you haven’t already. Dr. Gómez developed Cultural Betrayal Trauma Theory as a tool for examining the impacts of discrimination and inequality in the wake of trauma. As an Assistant Professor at Boston University in the Clinical Practice department and as a faculty affiliate for the Center for Innovation in Social Work & Health, Dr. Gómez has made tremendous contributions to trauma therapies. She’s a black feminist trauma researcher and race scholar dedicated to understanding the effects of physical, sexual and emotional trauma in diverse and marginalized populations. Check out some of her published work below.

In Season 3 of How We Can Heal is about Dissociation and Dissociative disorders. Dissociative disorders involve experiencing a disconnection and lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions and identity.
Dissociative disorders usually develop as a reaction to trauma and help keep difficult memories at bay. Symptoms — ranging from amnesia to alternate identities — depend in part on the type of dissociative disorder you have. Times of stress can temporarily worsen symptoms, making them more obvious.
