Self Careapist Therapist Podcast
How do you actually use EMDR, CBT, or IFS in session, not the textbook version, but with a real client sitting across from you? Self Careapist Therapist is a therapist-to-therapist podcast where licensed clinicians break down the
clinical skills, modalities, and hard conversations that training programs skim over.
Hosted by Lorain Moorehead, LCSW, PMH-C, EMDR Certified Approved Consultant, Clinical Supervisor, and graduate school faculty associate. Each week features expert guests, including researchers, authors, and practicing clinicians, sharing
evidence-based interventions you can take straight into your next session.
Topics include:
• EMDR therapy, trauma processing, and advanced EMDR applications
• Internal Family Systems (IFS), parts work, and integrative trauma approaches
• CBT, DBT, RO-DBT, ACT, and third-wave cognitive behavioral therapies
• Clinical supervision, therapist training, and professional development
• Trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, and nervous system regulation
• ADHD, autism, neurodiversity-affirming assessment and treatment
• Therapist burnout, perfectionism, compassion fatigue, and sustainable self-care
• Couples therapy, attachment theory, and relational wounds
• Anxiety, OCD, and exposure-based interventions
• Grief, prolonged grief disorder, and meaning-making
• Suicide risk assessment, CAMS, and crisis intervention
• Parent-child therapy, adolescent anxiety, and family systems
• Perinatal mental health
• Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and emerging modalities
• Clinical ethics, risk management, and culturally responsive practice
• Private practice development, insurance, and building a sustainable career
