The Rising Beyond Podcast
If you're trying to protect your children while navigating an abusive ex, this podcast is for you. Because leaving the relationship didn't end the abuse, and no one prepared you for what came next.
The Rising Beyond Podcast is for protective mothers navigating the overwhelming reality of sharing children with someone who continues patterns of manipulation, coercive control, or emotional abuse after separation. Join Sybil Cummin, licensed professional counselor, who has spent the last decade helping survivors and their children navigate this incredibly difficult chapter. Every week, we share trauma-informed education, nervous system insights, protective parenting strategies, and honest conversations about family court, post-separation abuse, and healing, so you can feel more confident, more grounded, and better equipped to protect both your children and yourself.
Whether you're in the middle of family court, struggling with parenting alongside someone who continues patterns of control, or simply trying to become the parent you want to be after everything you've survived, you'll find validation, practical guidance, and hope here.

Ep 106: Trauma Symptom Relief: All About Neurofeedback with Louise Finley, LPC, OMC
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What would it be like to get a full night sleep? Or to be able to focus on the task at hand?
After experiencing the trauma of domestic violence and narcissistic abuse many survivors find that their daily functioning completely goes away. And this makes complete sense, right?
The constant trauma while in the relationship and the continued trauma in the aftermath cause a myriad of problems for your physical and mental health.
On the last episode of The Rising Beyond Podcast I explained many of the most common trauma modalities that therapists today are using to support survivors. In this episode we are diving deeper into a lesser known modality; neurofeedback.
I have a conversation with Louise Finley, LPC on how neurofeedback can be used as a part of your healing journey from your abusive relationship. We discuss what neurofeedback is and what it might look like during a session, and we also talk about some of the possible benefits and symptoms that can be targeted through this modality.
Louise is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, USA and has worked in the therapy field since 2011. Her early career years were split between private practice and hospital outpatient settings and consequently, Louise has gotten to work with individuals in many stages of life, mental health crises, trauma recovery, and growth. In 2017 Louise was offered the opportunity to be trained in the Othmer Method of Neurofeedback--she initially saw this as a way to expand support for clients, but it has ended up re-shaping her, both personally and as a clinician. The additional training has led Louise to actively integrate more brain and nervous system education in her talk therapy work and to appreciate how an appropriately timed brain-based intervention can be a catalyst for beautiful change. Louise currently balances being a parent and seeing a small number of clients in private practice. She occasionally blogs about Neurofeedback at www.louisefinley.com and would love to be a resource to any individuals or clinicians with Neurofeedback questions or looking to connect with a Georgia provider!
