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

Interracial Marriage: Love, Identity, and Navigating Differences with Geoffrey Greif and Victoria D. Stubbs

What can interracial couples teach therapists about race, family systems, and the conversations many clients are still learning how to have?
In this episode of The Self Careapist Therapist, I sit down with Dr. Geoffrey Greif and Victoria D. Stubbs, LCSW, co-authors of Interracial Marriage: How Diverse Couples Navigate Relationships. We talk about what hundreds of interviews with interracial and interethnic couples revealed about communication, family approval, identity, power, children, language, safety, and the daily accommodations many couples learn to make.
We also explore how therapists can approach these conversations with more humility, curiosity, and clinical nuance. Victoria shares how the six pillars of a brave space framework can support conversations about race, power, privilege, oppression, and identity, while Geoffrey highlights what research interviews can reveal that surveys often miss.
