    11 - Making Connections Through the Language of Play in Child Psychology
    Aug 30 2022
    Lori Bean and Alyssa Rabin are back together in this episode to interview Registered Provisional Psychologist Paige Burles. Paige specializes in child psychology, though she also works with adults, at Maliya. She explains why her passion is for helping children make connections and find ways of communicating needs and deal with struggles. Paige answers questions from both Lori and Alyssa about exactly what art therapy, play therapy, and behavioral therapy are and what they look like when used in working with children. Paige details how much information children can give when they are comfortable and communicating at a level they understand, such as during play. She examines the notion that children are seeking connection and by examining problematic behaviors we can identify unmet needs. Lori and Alyssa, both parents, agree and offer that parents are tired and can’t be experts at everything for their children. A psychologist like Paige, who involves the parents in the therapeutic process, can be invaluable for instilling children with helpful coping skills that they will carry into adulthood.About Paige Burles:Paige Burles is a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. She holds a master’s degree in counselling psychology and a bachelor’s degree in child studies. Paige has been working in the field of mental health for 10 years and has a special interest in early intervention. Paige’s passion is supporting young children from the ages 4 through adolescence. She has an exceptional ability to connect with children that have had difficulty trusting and working with others. Paige specializes in working with anxiety, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, trauma, adjustment and behavioral issues. This is Paige’s true calling and she thanks you for trusting her with those who are the most precious in your life. Paige provides a safe space for your children to explore their experiences, facilitate deep change, and gain the tools necessary to support them throughout the rest of their lives. Paige prides herself on setting your children up to navigate their futures with support, guidance and unconditional love.  Paige also has extensive work experience with adults and would be happy to work with you if you are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, emotional dysregulation, or wanting support with self-compassion, overcoming shame, setting boundaries, etc. Paige uses evidence-based treatments in her practice. She is trained in dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, emotion focused therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, solution focused and brief therapy, and in prolonged exposure for treating PTSD.— Maliya: website | instagram | facebookPaige Burles | Registered Provisional Psychologist: website | linkedin TranscriptionLori Bean  00:56Hello, everybody, I am Lori Bean. Alyssa Rabin  01:00And I'm Alyssa Rabin. Lori Bean  01:02And we want to welcome today, Paige Burles, who is our psychologist at Maliya, who specializes in children therapy. Alyssa Rabin  01:13Child psychology, and pre-teen psychology. Thank God because I have one of each. Lori Bean  01:24And we just really wanted to talk today about why you should consider bringing your children in for therapy. So Paige works with kids from the ages of 4 to 13. When you know it's time to do that, what type of therapy she does. And we just know how incredible she is. And the feedback we get from parents, and how life changing this is, along with not only dealing with the issues they're having with their children now, but these tools that they leave with, which they can have with them for the rest of their lives, and really grow into these fully flourishing, self confident adults with all these amazing abilities to socialize and have the sense of self worth and-- Alyssa Rabin  02:13-- to be able to self soothe and more or less work on their issues instead of looking elsewhere. They leave with the tools to help themselves. So welcome Paige. Paige Burles  02:27Thank you so much. I'm excited to be here. Excited and nervous. Lori Bean  02:30It's all good. I think this is like such an important topic. My kids are in their 20s and back in the day, we really didn't take our kids for therapy or support at all, it really wasn't available unless your kids had very well known issues or it was advised by a teacher or... it took a lot to seek help. And it literally wasn't readily available. A lot of the times you'd have to at the hospital, you'd have to see a psychiatrist, and it was a rough go. And in reflection, I really believe now that if we had this available, there's no question I would have taken both kids even though they were fully functional. Every kid has an issue just for support, and I wasn't alone in navigating them. And I just would love to talk about-- Alyssa Rabin  03:29-- how it's changed. Lori Bean  03:30Yeah, how it's changed. Alyssa Rabin  03:32And Paige ...

    Aug 16 2022
    Alyssa Rabin welcomes new Maliya clinic member Suzanne Easton to the podcast. Suzanne is a Mental Health Therapist and specialist in the Grief Recovery Method. She shares with Alyssa her passion for helping people through the Grief Recovery Method into relief from the burden of unprocessed losses. Suzanne explains how she long carried the weight of many losses and much grief in her own life. Her mother would say she was “an unending well of sorrow” and she explains how she felt she couldn’t risk more pain as her “backpack of unprocessed grief” was too full. But when she found the Grief Recovery Method, she found tremendous healing and release for the weight of her losses, and she immediately knew she needed to share the program with as many others as possible. Suzanne details exactly what the Grief Recovery Method is, the many things that grief and loss can encompass and spring from, and how the program equips you to deal with past burdens and even future losses that you know will come. Suzanne’s warm enthusiasm for the possibility of healing is a beautiful thing to hear.  About Suzanne Easton:Suzanne Easton, BN, RN has been practising as a Mental Health Therapist since 2006 and greatly enjoys working with clients in a logical, step-by-step manner as they learn to relate to their past experiences in dramatically changed ways.Whether loss (of any kind), grief, trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, incomplete relationships, insufficient coping skills, life transitions, depression or anxiety are draining your energy and joy, you are not alone. Many of us have experienced these challenges, and Suzanne is looking forward to providing skilled and compassionate support as you identify and bring about the changes you want. She is a trained ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY (ART) practitioner and a GRIEF RECOVERY METHOD specialist with a strong general counselling background and a mission to facilitate deep and lasting healing. In addition to private counselling sessions, with or without ART, Suzanne offers a seven-week Grief Recovery Method program to support you in moving past the traumatic experiences that have been keeping you from living your fullest life. This system will help alleviate the unresolved grief that is resting heavy in your heart, from a death, a divorce, or any other experience you wish to let go of. You will also emerge with the tools needed to address future losses, which will allow you to live more wholeheartedly, free in the knowledge that you now carry powerful resources for healing within you.  — Maliya: website | instagram | facebookSuzanne Easton | Mental Health Therapist & Grief Recovery Method specialist: website | linkedin TranscriptionLori Bean As we all know, women in today's day and age need a different level of care.

How did you get into this? How did you get into the wellness health system? Suzanne Easton  02:02Okay, so I've been working as a mental health therapist since 2006. And have really loved my time doing that, as a generalist working with many different diagnoses and difficulties that people might encounter. About six years ago, though, I had two clients come in, in a short period of time, both who were dealing with grief. One, her husband had died the month before, and the other had a lifetime of losses. And I realized in that moment that I actually did not have good resources for grief, which sounds really funny ...

    09 - Connecting to the Hope and Wisdom of the Right Therapist to Heal Your Trauma
    Aug 2 2022
    Lori Bean welcomes Registered Psychologist Erin Bonner back to the show to discuss trauma, how it can present, and the different modalities of support that can assist trauma sufferers in finding peace and wellness. Erin Bonner counts working through trauma as one of her specialities and she is not hesitant to share her own personal experience with PTSD to help illustrate how healing is possible. Erin and Lori examine how working through trauma does involve sitting with unpleasant and traumatizing emotions, but Erin also shares how different therapies can help clients with emotional tools and resilience before they embark on, perhaps, work in Prolonged Exposure, EMDR, or ​​Dialectical Behavior Therapy modalities. Lori and Erin’s message is one of hope in connecting with the wisdom of the right therapist that can guide you through trauma healing.About Erin Bonner:Erin Bonner is a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s of Arts in Counselling Psychology. She is passionate about her role in helping others navigate their individual paths towards wellness. In her 20s she tragically lost her younger brother and then her mother shortly after. Through her own therapeutic journey, she discovered her calling to help others work on understanding and processing emotions to achieve personal growth and well-being.Erin is trained in Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioural Therapies, Prolonged Exposure, Exposure with Response Prevention, Emotion-Focused and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. She specializes in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, cPTSD, ADHD, emotion dysregulation, grief, OCD, and in helping individuals learn to love themselves and develop strong relationships with the people in their lives. She also offers Sport Psychology to equestrian athletes on an individual or group basis.In addition to working with adults, she has a special interest, passion and gift for working with adolescents aged 14 and older.— Maliya: website | instagram | facebookErin Bonner | Registered Psychologist: website | linkedin TranscriptionLori Bean As we all know, women in today's day and age need a different level of care.

My name is Lori Bean. And we are here today. Joining us again, Erin Bonner, registered psychologist here at Maliya. Hi, Erin. Erin Bonner  01:08Hello. Lori Bean  01:10Welcome back! Erin Bonner  01:11I'm so excited to do another one of these. Lori Bean  01:13So fun. So fun. And I think we decided today that what we're seeing a lot here at Maliya is a lot of people coming in with trauma. And I think Erin is the perfect person to dive into this a little more deeply. So we're gonna discuss, I guess, the intersection of trauma and wisdom. So welcome, Erin. What does this mean to you? Erin Bonner  01:39So I agree, we see so many different types of trauma and I, in my therapy, use the word trauma really liberally. And I usually give a disclaimer to all of my clients that this is a word that I bring up. And I really try and normalize because trauma is an experience that doesn't have to make sense. It's not you were in a car accident therefore you have trauma, you were assaulted therefore you have trauma. It can happen in such small moments in ways that lots of the world invalidates. And so the way that we're seeing trauma show up here, at Maliya, and in my own practice, is pretty vast. And so a lot of the work that I do, because trauma is one of my specialties, PTSD in particular, complex PTSD, which is kind of a new age term, it's not technically a diagnosis, and it fits for a lot of people. There's this desire, this hoping that healing trauma will, you know, make us know everything or really help us understand ourselves and the world. And I think there's kind of this, this concept of, if you have trauma, therefore you will be wise. And I think it's more than that. And I think that pairing can actually just invalidate the experience of trauma a little bit, it devalues. Erin Bonner  01:40Oh are you speaking to like - oh, that's interesting that you say that - you know, the narrative that everything happens to you for a reason, and you've had this experience that changed your whole life? And so you bring that into the world, and you're going ...
