Bio:

” We’re all put here for a reason, and after surviving years of trauma and being diagnosed with Complex PTSD, Meghan Judge discovered hers – to help share the stories of survivors and show others there’s a way out.

Death, abuse, and abandonment surrounded Meghan for much of her life, to the point where she did not want to go on anymore. Realizing that many people worldwide could benefit from hearing how she survived an unimaginable situation and used humor to overcome her circumstances, she launched a podcast to help those going through hardships in life.

From recovering to surviving and thriving, each of us has the strength to come out on the other side. Through Meghan’s podcast, Judging Meghan, she fearlessly explores stories that prove our strength and resilience as human beings while using a abit of humor to lighten the mood.”

Shannon Miller shares . . .

“I see you. I hear you. I’m here for you.

Do you or someone you know and love have stress, anxiety or pain in life?

Regardless of the “stage” of life that you are in, the workforce, raising children, retired, experiencing medical issues, receiving medical treatment or you are a cancer survivor, you are not alone.

Dr. Nancy Stella – Using the Courageous Brain Process to Free Yourself from Fear Traps

April 29, 2022Podcast#hopeforhealing, ACEs, adverse childhood experiences, author, C-PTSD, Courageous Brain Process, Dr. Nancy Stella, empowerment, fears, mental health, PTSD, Teri Wellbrock, The Healing Place Podcast, trauma recovery, trauma warriorthehealingplacepodcast

So very happy to have had the chance to sit down with psychologist and author, Dr. Nancy Stella. Please join us as we discuss:

Dr. Nancy’s insights on fears, trauma, and brain plasticity
her own personal story of triumph over trauma
her book Fear Traps: Escape the triggers that keep you stuck
her counseling approach: Courageous Brain Process (CBP) – a 6-step science-based treatment plan to help people overcome fear
and so much more!

Bio:

“Dr. Nancy Stella has been a leading clinical psychologist in the Cincinnati area for over 20 years. As former president and owner, Dr. Stella expanded BridgePointe Psychological and Counseling Center into one of Ohio’s largest private, multi-specialty mental health practices with over 75 providers.

After a shattering divorce, Dr. Stella found traditional therapeutic approaches wanting, so she developed the Courageous Brain Process (CBP)—an innovative, science-based method of therapy. Rooted in the most up-to-date neuroscience, it bypassed the shortcomings of traditional talk therapy to re pattern the way our brains process fear.

When the results proved to be undeniably effective, Dr. Stella left BridgePointe in 2014 to open a counseling practice focused on the CBP. As a result, countless clients have been able to break free of self-destructive patterns triggered by unresolved fear. In addition, Dr. Stella provides training and consultation to other clinicians who want to include this method in their practices.”

Melanie Gibson – Hiding in Plain Sight with Mental Illness

September 10, 2021Podcast#hopeforhealing, ACEs, adverse childhood experiences, CPTSD, martial arts, mental health, PTSD, Teri Wellbrock, trauma warriorthehealingplacepodcast

Join me for an insightful conversation with author and blogger, Melanie Gibson, as we discuss:

Melanie’s insights on martial arts as a healing strategy
her philosophies on mental health stigmas
her book Kicking and Screaming: A Memoir of Madness and Martial Arts
her Little Black Belt blog
and so much more!

Bio:

“Melanie Gibson began taekwondo training at age ten. At age twelve she stopped taekwondo to pursue other interests, and resumed training in her early thirties.

Although Melanie had academic and career achievements throughout her life, she struggled with mental illness and low self-esteem. After making some progress through psychiatric treatment and counseling, she knew she needed to do something more substantial to make lasting changes. Returning to taekwondo had always been in the back of her mind, and the timing was right.

Taekwondo proved to be not only an opportunity to re-learn a beloved skill from her childhood, but also a means to build her self-esteem and confidence, and heal from old wounds. It brought a needed excitement and purpose to her life, which she shares in her blog Little Black Belt (http://littleblackbelt.com). While continuing to work at her full-time job, Melanie dedicated herself to taekwondo training and earned her first degree black belt in 2015. In 2017, she earned her second degree black belt. Although a pandemic and knee injury sidelined her training in 2020, Melanie plans to return to taekwondo and test for her third degree black belt.

She has a bachelor’s degree in English from Texas Woman’s University, a Master of Library Science from the University of North Texas, and an MBA from the University of Texas at Arlington. Melanie has worked in the healthcare industry since 2004, with roles as a hospital librarian, corporate trainer, and learning designer.“
