In this conversation, Nichole Jones shares her insights on brain spotting, a therapeutic technique for addressing trauma and emotional distress.

Clients can find their own 'brain spots' for processing emotions. Therapists follow the client's lead during sessions, known as 'the tail of the comet.' The technique can be used for various issues, including anxiety and trauma. Clients do not need to have a detailed story to benefit from brain spotting. Everybody's a candidate for brain spotting.

In this episode of The Connected Community Podcast , host Nicky Yazbeck speaks with Tiffany Freer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDRIA Approved Trainer and Consultant. Tiffany shares her deep expertise in using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy with children and adolescents, drawing from her experience in community mental health and the foster care system. Their conversation explores how trauma, both big and small, can impact a child’s development and emotional regulation, often leading to internalized beliefs of self-blame and unworthiness. Tiffany discusses the nuances of adapting EMDR for young clients, the importance of building positive memory networks, and how therapeutic storytelling can support healing, particularly for adopted children. Together, Nicky and Tiffany unpack the power of EMDR to address complex trauma and the vital role of a skilled, attuned therapist in guiding children and families toward lasting transformation. Takeaways: Childhood trauma can have lasting effects into adulthood. EMDR requires modifications when working with children. Concrete tools are essential for engaging children in therapy. Children can experience dysregulation similar to adults during therapy. Small traumas can have significant impacts on self-worth. Memories are stored state-dependently, affecting emotional responses. EMDR helps synthesize maladaptive and adaptive memory networks. Building positive memory networks is crucial in therapy. Therapeutic storytelling can be effective for adopted children. Many people experience trauma that they may not remember until later in life. Therapists should not act as fact-checkers but rather support clients in their journey. Children often internalize negative experiences, leading to self-blame. EMDR helps clients process trauma by alternating between past and present memories. The effectiveness of EMDR can vary based on the individual's prior experiences with trauma. Finding a qualified EMDR therapist is crucial for effective treatment. Therapists should be aware of the importance of resourcing clients before diving into trauma work. Children's memory networks are shorter, allowing for quicker reprocessing in therapy. Building a trusting relationship with clients is essential for effective therapy. Therapists must accept the limitations of their role in a child's healing process.

With a Master’s in Art Therapy, Christine integrates polyvagal theory, somatic practices, and parts work into her unique approach.

This inspiring conversation offers a fresh perspective on creativity—not as a talent, but as a vital part of healing and self-discovery.

In this episode of The Connected Community Podcast , Nicky Yazbeck welcomes Nicola Navon, a relationship communication and leadership coach, to explore the magnetic dance between masculine and feminine energies and how they shape our most intimate connections. Drawing from over a decade of experience in psychology and communication, Nicola shares how her signature framework, The Union Method, helps individuals and couples cultivate deeper connection, trust, and fulfillment—both in the bedroom and beyond. Together, Nicky and Nicola dive into the often-unspoken dynamics that influence desire, vulnerability, and the expression of needs. They unpack the power of embodied communication, the role of polarity in creating passion, and the ways in which our attachment styles influence the way we relate. This heart-centered conversation invites listeners to reflect on the inner balance of their own masculine and feminine energies, offering a fresh perspective on cultivating intimacy, reigniting passion, and creating relationships that feel whole, alive, and deeply connected. Takeaways Understanding the balance of masculine and feminine energies is crucial for deeper intimacy. It only takes one person to understand energetics to shift the relationship dynamics. Vulnerability is key in expressing desires and needs in relationships. Women often need to step into their feminine to allow men to step into their masculine. Communication should be playful and inviting rather than controlling or nagging. Expressing desires requires a strong masculine core to voice them effectively. The fear of rejection impacts both men and women in expressing intimacy. Creating passion involves inviting partners to take the lead in a subtle way. Seduction can be a powerful tool in igniting desire in relationships. Acknowledging and appreciating partners' efforts fosters connection and balance. Finding healthy attachment starts with self. Navigating relationship dynamics requires understanding of attachment styles. Loneliness is a common human experience that needs addressing. Passion thrives on polarity and contrast in relationships. Creating excitement in long-term relationships is essential. Communication is key to intimacy and connection. Expressing needs is crucial to avoid resentment. Wholeness in oneself is necessary for healthy relationships. The process of intimacy should be prioritized over end goals. Exploring new experiences together can reignite passion.

Together, Nicky and Sarah explore the often-unspoken side of the spiritual and healing world such as the seductive nature of quick fixes, the glorification of transcendence at the expense of the human experience, and the shadow side of placing mentors on pedestals. They shine a light on the ways spiritual bypassing can subtly undermine genuine growth and emphasize the importance of staying anchored in authenticity, humility, and discernment. The conversation dives into red flags to be aware of in spiritual teachers and healing practitioners, including over-promising results, lack of transparency, and disconnection from their own humanity. They unpack the marketing of transformation at retreats, encouraging listeners to trust their inner knowing, honor their intuition, and approach healing not as something to be outsourced, but as a sacred collaboration between self and guide. Through this rich dialogue, Nicky and Sarah advocate for a return to self-honoring, embodied truth, and the slow, often messy, but deeply rewarding path of healing. Whether you’re just beginning your personal growth journey or navigating the complexities of finding the right support, this episode invites you into a space of reflection, empowerment, and deeper connection to your own wisdom. Takeaways: Spiritual bypassing can be a form of spiritual narcissism. The desire for quick fixes can lead to avoidance of deeper work. The journey of healing is more important than the destination. Humility is a crucial stage in the process of enlightenment. It's essential to run potential mentors through your own heart filter. Over-promising in mentorship is a significant red flag. Look for alignment between a teacher's words and actions. Avoid placing mentors on pedestals to prevent disillusionment. Effective teachers empower others to recognize their own light. The marketing of spiritual experiences can often be misleading. The intention behind seeking help is crucial for effective healing. Collaboration in healing is essential; it's not just outsourcing. Trusting your instincts is vital in any healing journey. Red flags include guarantees of healing or fixed outcomes. Empowerment comes from recognizing one's own healing capabilities. Healing is a layered process that varies for each individual. Self-honoring is key; it's okay to step back if needed. There are many paths to healing; no one way is the only way. Relatability and authenticity in practitioners are important.

Together, they unpack the foundational concepts of IFS, from the protective roles of managers and firefighters to the tender vulnerabilities held by exiles. Crystal shares her personal healing journey with both IFS and EMDR, offering insight into the deep inner work that fosters emotional resilience and transformation. The conversation weaves through the complexities of shame, the significance of self-energy, and the power of embracing all parts of oneself. Crystal and Nicky also dive into the spiritual dimensions of IFS, the influence of generational trauma, and the growing intersection of plant medicine and therapy. With compassion and clarity, they highlight the importance of therapist self-work and the healing potential found in external relationships. This episode is an invitation to move toward a more self-led life, grounded in curiosity, connection, and wholeness. Takeaways: IFS is a therapeutic model created by Richard Schwartz. Protective parts develop to help us function in the world. Managers are proactive parts that prevent vulnerability. Firefighters are reactive parts that shut down feelings. Exiles carry the pain of past experiences. Shame often stems from a lack of co-regulation in childhood. Healing involves building a relationship with self-energy. Therapists must do their own work to support clients effectively. Self-energy is essential for healing and connection. Living a self-led life means embracing all parts of self. The best way to build access to self energy is to be with your parts. Triggers can be seen as opportunities for self-reflection and growth. Skepticism about parts work often stems from a part of the individual. Generational trauma can be addressed through personal healing work. Plant medicine may help protective parts feel safe enough to heal. IFS emphasizes the importance of external relationships in healing.

Her purpose is to bridge the gap between science and spirituality while guiding individuals to experience life through the Soul's eyes. Her passion for quantum physics, traditional shamanism, energy healing, psychology, and holistic health combine to create a unique perspective of the human journey. In this episode, Nicky Yazbeck and Isabel Wells delve into the fascinating world of shamanism, exploring its definitions, origins, and the animist perspective that underpins it. They discuss the differences between shamanic consciousness and ordinary consciousness, the role of the shaman as a truth keeper, and the historical shift from animism to hierarchical thinking. The conversation also covers the exploration of the three spiritual realms in shamanism and the significance of power animals and spirit guides in shamanic practices. In this conversation, Isabel Wells delves into the intricacies of shamanism, exploring the significance of dreams from a shamanic perspective, the interpretation of symbols, and the personal meaning derived from shamanic practices. She emphasizes the importance of understanding core shamanism, the cultural implications of shamanic practices, and the pillars that support shamanic healing.

Isabel is passionate about experiencing what she calls the rapture of being live, and firmly believes that connecting with your intuition is the highest pathway to healing.

Shamanic consciousness transcends ordinary consciousness, allowing deeper connection. The role of the shaman is to be a truth keeper for their tribe.

In this episode of the Connected Community Podcast, Nicky Yazbeck interviews Tamoah Burton, a practitioner of Yoga Nidra and Akashic Record reading. Tamoah shares her journey from exploring various healing modalities to discovering the profound benefits of Yoga Nidra. Born and raised in Switzerland in the Swiss Alps, Tamoah’s journey into the metaphysical, yogic and naturopathic realms began at an early age. Her innate curiosity and desire to help herself and others led her to explore diverse healing traditions worldwide, immersing herself in the wisdom of native cultures during her extensive travels. In 2009, Tamoah became a certified Yoga Nidra Instructor, adding to her qualifications as a Yoga and Hormonyoga teacher. For 25 years, she ran a successful clinic in Switzerland, supporting clients in healing on the physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual levels. Nicky and Tamoah’s conversation delves into the mechanics of Yoga Nidra, its emotional and physical healing properties, and the differences between Yoga Nidra and traditional meditation. Tamoah emphasizes the importance of relaxation and surrender in the practice, highlighting how it can lead to deep emotional release and self-discovery. Together they explore the transformative practice of Yoga Nidra, discussing its benefits for body awareness, relaxation, and emotional healing. They delve into the discomfort some may feel when first connecting with their bodies, the importance of regular practice for long-term benefits, and how Yoga Nidra can help alleviate stress and promote self-care. Tamoah shares personal stories and insights on the healing power of Yoga Nidra, emphasizing the need for prioritizing mental and physical well-being, and the significance of prevention in maintaining health. Takeaways: Yoga Nidra is often referred to as 'yogic sleep' and can provide deep relaxation equivalent to several hours of sleep. The practice of Yoga Nidra helps access delta brain waves, which are crucial for healing. Emotions and experiences can be stored in our cells, and Yoga Nidra can help release them. Different styles of Yoga Nidra exist, and Tamoah emphasizes her unique approach focusing on body awareness and color frequencies. The goal of Yoga Nidra is to surrender and relax deeply, moving beyond the mind. Practicing Yoga Nidra can lead to profound self-awareness and understanding of one's true nature. Comfortable positioning and props can enhance the Yoga Nidra experience, allowing for deeper relaxation. Yoga Nidra is a conscious journey through the body, contrasting with traditional meditation that often focuses on thoughts. Many people are unaware of the tension they hold in their bodies. Yoga Nidra can lead to profound relaxation and healing and can help with insomnia and anxiety. Self-care practices like Yoga Nidra are essential for well-being. Awareness of body sensations can lead to emotional release. Prioritizing relaxation can prevent future health problems. The journey of self-discovery can be facilitated through Yoga Nidra.

They explore the importance of recognizing and embracing trauma, addressing unresolved childhood wounds, and understanding the nuanced interplay of masculine and feminine energies within relationships. Through insightful dialogue, they highlight the significance of self-discovery, identifying triggers, and fostering a relationship with one’s inner child. Nicky and David emphasize the importance of self-validation, personal responsibility, and introspection in the healing journey, shedding light on how resolving past wounds can lead to healthier, more fulfilling relationships and a deeply meaningful life. Takeaways: Trauma is an overwhelm of the nervous system experienced in childhood. Every individual carries unresolved childhood trauma. The way we process trauma in childhood affects our adult relationships. Triggers are opportunities for self-reflection and growth. Healing is a lifelong journey, not a destination. We must love and honor our trauma to heal it. Our nervous system does not differentiate between types of trauma. Healthy relationships require individual healing. Masculine and feminine energies play a crucial role in relationships. Understanding our triggers helps us navigate our emotional responses. Building rapport with our wounded parts is essential. Healing is not a linear process; it evolves over time. Masculine and feminine energies play vital roles in healing. Introspection is key to taking ownership of one's healing.
