Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 5 Episode 9: Hollistic Care with Dr. Alex Galloway
Q: What is an intensive and how can it benefit someone seeking help?
An intensive is a focused period of care lasting between five and ten days that helps individuals catch up to themselves and realign with their personal care routines.
Season 5 Episode 9: Hollistic Care with Dr. Alex Galloway
Q: What sort of aspects of care can cross-cultural workers seek out when they are struggling?
Dr. Galloway emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and utilizing support systems available, whether internal or external.
Season 5 Episode 12: Safety Stories with Ulrika Ernvik
Q: Have you seen people use someone who has been deceased as a sense of somebody still with them?
Yes. So when they pick an imagined safety person, it can be someone that exists, but also someone that is dead.
Season 5 Episode 12: Safety Stories with Ulrika Ernvik
Q: If we're talking about a child or adolescent who's experienced a big tea trauma, would this be something you would go over like once with them? Or is this like a continuing process that's going to take some more time?
I think it's good for parents to do this Safety Story process on a regular basis, because new things will come up again and again, and it becomes a way of living.
Season 5 Episode 12: Safety Stories with Ulrika Ernvik
Q: Ulrika, I wonder if some of our listeners maybe are not trained mental health professionals or have much experience in this area, but they want to engage with their children or kids that they interact with, with this framework? What are some things that would be good for them to consider as they're moving into it?
It's good if I am aware a little bit myself about how I react in different situations and what I need to be in and come back to this peaceful state, as I call it.
