🎙️ Beyond Couples Feud Season 3, Episode 4 — Counseling Convos with Geries Shaheen, LPC In this heart-level, brain-powered episode of Counseling Convos , host Geries Shaheen, LPC, NCC untangles a rising challenge in couples therapy: when well-meaning resourcing or clarifying questions are perceived as gaslighting. How do we hold space for deep relational wounds without being caught in the crossfire? What happens when trauma-informed clients feel retraumatized—by the very act of inquiry? In Beyond Couples Feud , we explore the tension between therapeutic neutrality and emotional safety. We unpack real-world scripts, interventions, and referral practices that honor autonomy, create clarity, and help clients move from relational shutdown to connection. 💡 Topics include: Gaslighting vs. clarifying: when the line gets blurry How trauma and attachment shape emotional responses in session Scripts for rebuilding safety in real time When and how to refer for sex therapy with compassion and clarity The philosophical differences between LPCs and LMFTs Evidence-based interventions for common couples conflicts Whether you're a clinician, a couple navigating your own journey, or a curious listener who loves diving deep into the psychology of relationships, this episode brings rich tools, thoughtfulness, and just the right amount of meta-reflection. 🎧 Subscribe and join us as we go beyond conflict—and toward repair. 🔍 Cited Research & Resources: Carlson, D.

The Jungle is a 1906 novel by the American journalist and novelist Upton Sinclair (1878–1968). Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the harsh conditions and exploited the lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities. His primary purpose in describing the meat industry and its working conditions was to advance socialism in the United States. However, most readers were more concerned with several passages exposing health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, which greatly contributed to a public outcry which led to reforms including the Meat Inspection Act. Sinclair famously said of the public reaction, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident, I hit it in the stomach."Unintended Consequences come in many shapes and can have a long-lasting impact on people's lives. It can impact identity, cultures, history, and sometimes our very existence. For Madeline Coburn, an unintended consequence left her to be identified as legally deceased for 10 years! This is a Remarkable story about a women's life that is filled with mysteries and in some ways is still unresolved. Madeline is not allowed to vote, because she was listed as not even living! Her story was featured on CNN!There are naturally difficult situations in life, death, accidents, injuries, arguments, job losses. But sometimes the universe throws a curveball, something completely out of the left field. Something we are not expecting in any way what so ever. When I first read The Jungle, I found it so intriguingly eerie how one's identity can be easily formed by the setting in which they live and work. At the turn of the century, in which the book is framed, the main character and his young wife struggle to survive as they fall deeply into debt and become prey to con men. Debt is something most people can somewhat relate to. —- Being subject to experience completely unfamiliar can be traumatic.

Counseling Convos: Episode 4 Emotional Intelligence I knew I wanted to be a psychotherapist between the ages of 12-15. It wasn’t solidified until my trip to Nashville in 2006 when I decided to travel to Uganda a year later. I was a senior in high school and was blessed enough by numerous church families and sponsers to partner with a non profit called Invisible children. After approximately 3 weeks of witnessing first hand accounts of the impact left by the Lords Resistance Army in that area, I couldn’t not think about living a life focused on mental health and shaping culture for the betterment of society. I had decided to attend a Christian College in the small town of Lincoln Ill, then pursue my masters in professional counseling at Lindenwood University in St. Charles Mo.After all these years now, of providing therapy in so many avenues, so many pockets of town, to so many varying types of people. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of Emotional Intelligence. In todays episode, we dive into emotional intelligence as it pertains to the workplace. Emotional intelligence (also known as ‘emotional quotient’, or EQ) was ranked sixth in the World Economic Forum’s list of the top 10 skills that employees will need to possess to thrive in the workplace of the future.But what is EQ? How can it affect your progression at work and your ability to interact with teams and peers, and what impact can it have on your physical and mental wellbeing?…
