Listen "From Pretrial Therapy To ADHD Tools And Mythic Healing"
Episode Synopsis
Start with a map, end with a compass. We take you across a week of standout sessions that connect legal clarity, neurodiversity-informed practice, social class, power in the therapy room, and the deep mythic layers that help clients move from rupture to integration.We begin where stakes are highest: pretrial therapy. Learn why your notes must be written for clinical care rather than criminal proceedings, how to differentiate reasonable from speculative legal requests, and how consent and pacing protect both clients and your professional role. You’ll hear grounded, real-world guidance on pushing back against fishing expeditions and holding firm to ethical due process.Next, we pivot to ADHD with tools that actually work. Discover why stillness meditation often backfires and how active, repetitive tasks like walking or folding can become effective contemplative practice. Explore cognitive tiredness, a crucial but overlooked form of overload, and redesign organisation systems—internal plans and external setups—to reduce sensory demands rather than increase them.The lens widens to class, naming poverty as both cause and consequence of mental distress, and exposing barriers hidden in plain sight: rigid schedules, transport costs, and alienating language that assumes spare time and money. We argue for integrating class into core training alongside race, disability, privilege, and intersectionality, so support becomes feasible, respectful, and real.Power then steps into focus. Framed as a neutral, relational force, it shifts moment by moment in therapy. Clients’ online research can feel intrusive, yet it’s also an attempt to balance asymmetry—material we can use to deepen trust. With a little sociology, we read the currents of status and structure shaping the room and respond with clarity, humility, and skill.Finally, we head into story and shadow. The Inuit myth of Sedna illuminates how loss can birth sovereignty and how ritual “combing” releases what is stuck. A singer’s journey through lost voice shows shadow as a path wanting recognition, not erasure. Woven together, these sessions offer a practice that is precise, class-aware, power-literate, neurodiversity-informed, and anchored in meaning.If this sparked new questions or gave you a tool you can use tomorrow, follow, share with a colleague, and leave a review. Your feedback helps us grow a library that serves real clinicians doing brave, careful work.
