Self Careapist Therapist Podcast: Expert Insights & Practical Therapy Skills

by Lorain Moorehead

Conversations with leading clinicians, researchers, authors, and therapy experts about clinical tools, treatment strategies, psychotherapy approaches, and working with diverse client presentations. 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   Questions we answer:   • How do I use EMDR, CBT, DBT, or ACT in real-life sessions, not just textbook examples?   • How do I choose which therapy modality to learn next?   • How do other therapists handle burnout and compassion fatigue?   • How do I integrate different modalities instead of feeling like I'm doing them wrong?   • When should I use IFS parts work versus EMDR reprocessing?   • How do I grow as a therapist after grad school or licensure?   • How do I make my practice more trauma-informed and culturally responsive?   • How do I find my niche or specialty as a clinician?   • What does evidence-based therapy actually look like in practice?   • How do therapists cope with imposter syndrome and self-doubt?   • How do I explain complex therapy concepts to clients in simple language?   • What is the best podcast by therapists, for therapists? Whether you are a seasoned clinician or a graduate student, every episode is designed to sharpen your clinical thinking and reconnect you with the curiosity that makes therapy meaningful. Conference-level education and psych journal-quality conversations delivered while you drive, walk, or decompress between sessions. Many episodes offer a free CEU for licensure in Arizona through the Board of Behavioral Health Examiners.
