Most of us are familiar with the concept of intention, but I think that many of us aren’t aware of all of the things we can do with intention. In this conversation, I talk with Elena Tuskenis all about the power of intention. With this practice, especially when we do it together, we can make some pretty remarkable changes in our lives, and in the world. We’ll detail the ins and outs of this and share how we are sharing this magic at Free Range.

Hypnotherapy is one of those things that I originally didn’t give much credit to. However, I've since learned how powerful it is. In hypnotherapy, we can find a safe container to process the roots of our issues and anchor in new beliefs that better serve us. It’s about getting to the core and addressing what lies there. We can learn all the coping skills we want, but if we don’t address the part of ourselves that holds this belief, and discover that there is a different way, we won’t find true growth.

We are truly spiritual beings in a physical body. Many of our modalities that focus only on our physical form fall short of true healing. In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Brandon Yuenger, we chat about his explorations into shamanic teachings and how they transformed his life and his practice.

I was immediately intrigued when I learned that integrative physical therapy was a thing. When Brandon and I sat down to record this podcast, I asked him to tell his story, but I wasn’t expecting that the tales of his personal health journey and professional growth would intertwine to reveal exactly what integrative physical therapy is all about. This episode is delightfully nerdy, curious, and oh so fun to listen to.

This podcast is about soul healing, and so much of the time this involves healers. I would be remiss if I didn't discuss how these healers got where they are. In this conversation with Dr. Z, we talk about her journey to and through medical school, and her eventual decision to leave the system altogether. Her story brings up so many interesting points and ideas, but most of all I think it really showcases what it means to try to heal, both oneself and those seeking help, within a system that is so broken.

This is the second part of a very not-average anxiety podcast. First, be sure you listen to part 1 before checking this out! I promise it'll make a lot more sense that way. Well, as much as any of this makes sense. In this conversation, Dr. G and I explore the question: What is it like to experience anxiety as a calling? We share thoughts and stories and, per usual, no answers at all.

This is not your average anxiety podcast. We don’t have the answers, and we aren’t going to tell you how to be less anxious. Instead, you’ll hear Dr. Giordano and I talk about our own honest, authentic, and human explorations into this topic. We’ll share experiences and observations, and talk about what they might mean. Everyone has their own unique experience of anxiety. As we say, none of it makes sense anyway. You can take what fits and leave what doesn’t.

The holidays are a lot of things, and are often so much more than "merry and bright". I believe that we have more autonomy in our holidays than we think - We can always make a choice in how we spend this time of year. Because, after all, these days are for you! Tune in to hear more on these, as well as the rest of my holiday perspective.

This episode is part 2 of my conversation with acupuncturist Rebeca Davila. We tell stories from her experiences with clients and my own journey in order to illustrate some powerful aspects of TCM that you can easily enact in your own life. We describe each of the Five Elements, how you can identify its qualities, what its strengths and weaknesses are, and how we can calm or strengthen it. We take it even further and discuss some of our favorite points and how you can use them for specific purposes at home. If you love learning about stuff, but you love learning to actually use it even more, this is definitely the episode for you.

Some days, I think acupuncture is straight up magic. Coming from thousands of years of holistic beliefs about health and humans, acupuncture's goal is to help the body release, heal, and grow using it's own resources. In this conversation, Rebeca and I go through all the foundational ideas in acupuncture. The best part? This is just part one!

Ah, minimalism - famed and diminished by social media. Minimalism is a mindset and philosophy that goes far, far beyond the simple aesthetics we often see. In this episode, Dr. Kimberly Cranford and I discuss how we define minimalism, what it means to us, and what we've learned from it. If you've ever wondered why minimalism becomes a whole lifestyle for some, this is the episode for you.

In this first episode of Dani Talks, I share some of my thoughts on space. Not outer space, but space as a concept. It gives us a way to think about how and where things do and don't exist in our lives, how this impacts us, and our ability to control it. My experiences in letting go and creating space serve as a base for this conversation. I find these musings to be profound yet relatable, and I hope you find the same.

Dr. Melanie Young, PsyD, certified brainspotting therapist and trainer, and I talk all things brainspotting in this episode. We describe what brainspotting is, how it works in the brain, what a brainspotting session can look like, and how you might be able to apply it in your own life. I’ve had some really incredible experiences with brainspotting in my own journey, and it’s a practice and tool that I have a lot of faith in. I was so excited to have this conversation with Melanie, and I’m even more to share it with you.

In this episode of Psychiatria, we tell a story of touch. Sarah Klingenberg, LMT and I talk about her journey with atopic dermatitis and into becoming a massage therapist, where touch transformed from an area of deep pain to one of the highest service. Her story has much to teach us about the connection between our skin and the outside world, the ways in which our bodies talk, and the importance of deep listening.

Chiropractic and mental health may seem like an unlikely pair, but they work so well together. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Brittnie Finkbeiner from Dynamic Essence Chiropractic Center about this connection. In short, chiropractic care has an amazing capacity to bring space and peace to our nervous system by improving the connection between mind and body. We talk in depth about how this works as well as so many other related topics.

Jenna Mamorsky, LPC, and I dive into a topic I’ve been dying to explore more for a long, LONG, time: Polyvagal Theory. I've struggled to find a description of the theory that felt thorough yet understandable, but I think that this episode does just that. We get into the anatomy behind the theory, what polyvagal theory might have to say about self care, what symptoms can arise from nervous systems imbalances, and how polyvagal theory understands trauma’s integration into the body. We even learn how we can improve our vagal tone. This conversation is curious, informative, and so useful for all of us.

In this episode, we get to know Dr. Elena Tuskenis, one of our psychiatrists here with Free Range Psychiatry. She has always loved stories, and that is really what shapes our conversation today. We discuss the power of individual narratives, the value of finding meaning in them, what happens when we recognize our ability to choose, and the vitality of acknowledging these stories in the healing process. Elena is well-spoken, relatable, and holds a truly lovely balance between joyful and grounded which makes this episode a real gem.

In the mainstream world, trauma is narrowly defined. The truth is that trauma has a much wider definition and broader effects than is commonly understood. In this conversation with Anya Nyson (https://anyanyson.com/), we describe this more accurate definition of trauma and the mechanisms through which it works. We differentiate between trauma and PTSD, and childhood trauma and traumatic events. We even touch on trauma’s relationship to shame and epigenetics. The second part of the conversation, which you'll definitely want to stick around for, describes how we can move through trauma using mindfulness and reparenting techniques. This episode is chock full of priceless information that is useful for all of us.

In this episode of Psychiatria, Free Range Psychiatry’s Dr. Jennifer Giordano and I cover a lot of ground. We get into her history and how she found her way to holistic psychiatry, and she shares how early experiences with anxiety shaped this path. We get curious about what it means to be human and how our struggles are often a part of that. This conversation reminds us that, to borrow her words, “life is just one giant gift,” even when it doesn’t feel that way. Her experiences are authentic and relatable, and her perspective is grounded yet inspiring.
