In this episode, host Matthew Knabe, MA, LPC focuses on an exercise that is utilized often in the therapeutic process. Calm Space is a technique used to assist us in being grounded, being moved into the here-and-now, and opening up the creativity we possess in our brain. You may notice a slow bilateral stimulation in the track (a pulsating beep that travels from the left side to the right side of the recording). This is something  in EMDR (when we are resourcing and reprocessing) we use to reinforce or strengthen the resource by activating the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Through this exercise, we also tap into aspects of Terry Wardle’s creation called formulation prayer.

Racial issues have been at the forefront of our nation’s attention over the past few weeks, and have needed to be a focus sooner and longer than that. To explain the divide we have been experiencing in our country, Matt Knabe talks with Pastor Bryndon Glass about the ways in which the church has an opportunity to be a part of the movement, and not just the moment, as Pastor Glass explains. Listen to this episode and think about how you might be an agent of change.

Feil, an Associate Professor of Psychology at Mansfield State College in PA. Progressive Relaxation Training is a skill that can learned overtime with practice. Be patient with the experience of relaxing. Feel free to utilize this episode as often as needed to practice quieting the mind and allowing the full body to come to a state of relaxation. (The exercise begins at 2:30 into the podcast if you want to skip the intro.)

Sara Carnes, radio host on 95.5 The Fish and Cleveland Browns In-Game Entertainment Host, shares some of her adversities that brought her to Emerge Counseling Ministries, which then led her on a journey of self-healing through functional medicine. This episode is a great reminder that we should be praying, as we come out of this quarantine, that life will not just go back to being normal, but allows us to become something even greater than we were before.

In this episode we sit down with a former client of Emerge Counseling Center, Katie Hickman.  Katie describes her battle with perfectionism during the formative years well into high school that eventually resulted in a panic attack. Her account for the need to be perfect is what opens her up to depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. Katie bravely shares her story and the ability she found in God to overcome some of the darkest emotions any of us can experience.

In this episode of Experience Emerge (ExEm), we spend time with one of the financial investors of the documentary American Gospel, Greg Robb. Greg shares his emotional story of addiction and the devastation to his family that proceeded. He recounts the genesis of adversities from growing up with addictive tendencies and then how that impacted his wife and children.  Greg gives us an honest look at what it means to follow Christ, but also reveals some truths that are sometimes hard to hear.
