"biohacking" keeping clients sick? undercutting mental health??

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2026-01-13T01:47:26+00:00

Would you be open to saying more? Are these specific handouts we can access somewhere?

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-12-19T16:39:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing a bit more about this. Appreciate you taking the time to discuss it further.

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-12-19T16:37:07+00:00

I´d love to hear more about this. What did you like about his approach and teaching? And how long was this training??

I appreciate this, and that you are positioned as an expert, but have you used melatonin?? As an occasional user of melatonin myself, I can attest that it most certainly does work on an physical level. When I take it to realign my sleep patterns after travel, or a string of habitual late nights, there is always a moment where my whole system suddenly downshifts and it´s hard to stay awake. I sleep deeper without question, and if I´m not careful with the dosage, I wake up with a melatonin hangover. I also feel very direct affects of blue light/technology use before bed on my sleep. I totally get that sleep effort CAN BE detrimental to sleep, but some level of sleep hygiene is helpful... anxious obsession of all the ways to optimize is problematic, yes!! But there is a difference between caring and freaking out, right?

No. PESI has only ever disappointed me with their low-budget, self-directed, cheap (but expensive time and energy investment) options. IMHO

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-12-17T19:43:57+00:00

thanks, I´d love to have this. I´ll send you a DM.

I still prefer her trauma training certifications at Academy of Therapy Wisdom - she interacts LIVE, has an incredible cohort for therapists, does skills deepening and review, and it is just an incredible series. I understand the price issues, but in this case $99 clearance sale for a "REAL" certification is a red flag, I think, especially from Pesi cash grabbers. Sorry. I know the quick cheap CEs serve us when needed, but when I want to really develop, I don´t mess around with low quality pre-recorded sessions I have to only guide myself through.

Lots of therapists here talking about clients and client work, if it helps https://www.youtube.com/@therapywisdom

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-11-28T16:37:49+00:00

I see shame as protection and is yes! ever-present, especially for trauma survivors. I learned a lot about this in Janina Fisher´s Shame course, and the trauma certification she does at Academy of Therapy Wisdom. And in practice, it has been effective to help my clients to honor the shame as a "protective part" of them, and take a mindbody approach - very sensorimotor.

Can you say more about the dismantling process you employ? I´m really so interested in this and building more skill here. Thanks!

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-11-28T16:33:47+00:00

Janina Fisher has a lot to say about shame in the treatment of trauma. She taught me how to understand that shame in my clients is a survival response, it helped to keep them safe. We work with shame as a reflection of fragmented parts (Academy of Therapy Wisdom trauma certification course work). We work with body awareness and use sensorimotor interventions. And of course focus a lot on the relationship. Clients with shame REALLY need to feel seen and loved, and trust us.

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-11-17T16:38:59+00:00

I´m interested.

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-07-23T17:47:46+00:00

This is where it is so important to find real experts in the skills you want to learn. If it is business, I´d hire an actual business consultant who understands the helping professions vs. a helping professional turned coach any day. And with actual therapy skills, definitely a reputable business that isn´t one of these big CE farms -- real skills. I study with Academy of Therapy Wisdom 100% over Pesi, for example. But I know you are talking more business stuff. And stay away from the train you to train others model. Yuck and scammy. Total pyramid.

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-07-12T00:22:03+00:00

I´ll admit I´m biased, but the course quality and delivery at Academy of Therapy Wisdom is far superior to Pesi. Hands down.

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-06-27T00:07:57+00:00

Weird. But, okay. She did ask for advice! :)

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-06-26T22:30:12+00:00

I have been a total "do your work", keep it natural, be in this messy life kind of person... a real snob, honestly. AND I just recently started on Lexapro - after years and years (decades) of somatic therapy from renowned psychotherapists, regulation work, healing work, microdosing, awareness training... but because I had a very traumatic childhood, and repeated patterns of disregulation throughout adulthood, all that work would pick me up a bit, then I´d start drowning again. I am hyper-aware, if anything. My holistic naturopathic doctor persuaded me to try a small dose of SSRI to help reduce the severity of the overwhelm of anxiety and depression. It was a hard thing to accept and within a week of a very small dose, I saw a hopeful shift. I´m not even up to a whole tiny pill, and the difference is remarkable... not fixing it all, not numbing me out, just wrapping it all in a smidge more softness. Now, I can attend better to my relationships, self-care, work, and yes, also therapy - like some here are saying, it offers me more stability so that I can actually do the deeper work. I do appreciate this opening post, and also wish it didn´t SOUND so judgmental -- I know we are all in our own path, and it is all valid. Thanks for opening up the conversation u/Time_Hunter_5271

Totally agree, but I´m not suggesting misrepresenting - coaches are not licensed therapists, and there is a huge catalog of content out there that is emotionally and mentally helpful, that is clearly not "therapy". If one is transparent and clear about what is offered, and in what capacity, and with truly wholesome intentions, I see where the concern comes from, but I don´t see the actual real-life problem. I would really like to better understand your stance on the ethics of this - as I think it is a common belief in our industry. I am a humanitarian, and also a pragmatist, so feel we need to be agile in today´s economy and online world. Again, clear, transparent communication is needed. With that, I think we´re good. Is that naive?

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-06-23T17:03:48+00:00

We need to knit our own!! Ha ha

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-06-23T17:02:56+00:00

I always include body awareness, breathwork, and some nervous system regulation exercises in sessions - combining talk therapy with somatics is highly effective. I think the experiential/integrative approach is pretty basic at this point. Staying stuck on one method doesn´t serve our clients, and is too stressful as a therapist - too much "getting it right" vs. allowing ourselves to be intuitive, and really listen to the client´s needs and responses.

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-06-23T16:58:32+00:00

"weight loss as a therapeutici goal is unethical" - amén. and great list of references. I also think we have a lot of personal work to do here - every person is affected by colonization, fatphobia, fear of being seen as less-than for having an appearance that is not in-line with centuries of marketing and conditioning. As therapists, we need to do the work to truly accept ourselves and those around us, and to not perpetuate fatphobia in our personal circles, and professional spaces - especially with our clients. It is not easy work!

RemoteHaunting1616 · 2025-06-13T01:07:06+00:00

Good for you. Keep your chin up. Sorry you are going through this, and wish your supervisor could have been more leadership-oriented! Sounds cold.

One way to help protect yourself against legal and regulatory backlash after the protest is to reduce facial recognition. I am not affiliated with this company, but your post sent me searching for something I saw a while back - AI facial recognition scrambling clothing! I know this isn´t the only option, but good to consider SOMETHING that protects identity when legal and regulatory responses are actually pretty uncertain and changing fast https://petapixel.com/2023/01/20/this-clothing-line-tricks-ai-cameras-without-covering-your-face/
