Intimacy From the Inside Out: Internal Family Systems and Healing Relationships
<p>In this episode of Guided, we sit down with therapist Gray Manis to explore what it means to<br /> heal from the inside out.</p> <p><br /> Gray specializes in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful model of therapy that helps people<br /> understand and relate differently to the "parts" of themselves—protectors, critics, wounded<br /> places—and access the calm, compassionate core that IFS calls the Self. He also works with<br /> couples using Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), helping partners understand how their<br /> internal worlds shape conflict, connection, and vulnerability.</p> <p><br /> We talk about trauma, attachment, reactivity, and how EMDR can help reprocess painful<br /> memories that keep individuals and couples stuck. This conversation is both deeply practical and<br /> profoundly hopeful: healing is not about eliminating parts of ourselves—it's about leading them<br /> well.</p> <p><br /> Whether you're a therapist, a couple wanting deeper intimacy, or someone trying to understand<br /> your own internal struggles, this episode will give you language and tools for real change.</p>

When Words Aren't Enough: The Power of Creative Therapies
<p>In this episode of Guided, Dr. Jones sits down with Chelsea Gibbs, LCSW, founder of Central<br /> Kentucky Creative Therapies, to explore the healing power of creativity, connection, and<br /> experiential work. Chelsea shares how she built a practice that extends beyond the traditional<br /> therapy room — integrating equine-assisted therapy, music therapy, art therapy, and other<br /> expressive modalities to help clients access healing in ways that words alone sometimes cannot.</p> <p><br /> We discuss what actually happens in the nervous system when clients engage with horses, music,<br /> and art, and why these embodied approaches can be especially powerful for trauma, attachment<br /> wounds, and emotional regulation. Chelsea also offers insight into the clinical foundations<br /> behind creative therapies and how she integrates them with traditional psychotherapy.</p> <p><br /> For therapists and helping professionals, this conversation also explores the entrepreneurial side<br /> of building a nontraditional practice — navigating community education, scope of practice, and<br /> the courage it takes to create something innovative.</p> <p><br /> This episode invites us to consider: What if healing is not only something we talk about, but<br /> something we experience?</p> <p><br /> Whether you are a clinician, creative, or simply someone curious about new pathways to growth,<br /> this conversation offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be guided toward wholeness.</p>

More Than a Menu: Caring for the People Who Feed Us with Chef Ouita Michel
<p>In this episode of Guided, we sit down with award-winning chef and restaurateur Ouita Michel<br /> for a powerful conversation about mental health in the culinary industry.</p> <p><br /> Behind the beauty of a plated dish and the energy of a full dining room lies an intense, high-<br /> pressure culture—long hours, razor-thin margins, performance demands, and often unspoken<br /> struggles with anxiety, depression, substance use, and burnout.</p> <p><br /> Ouita shares her passion for changing that culture. We talk about suicide prevention in the<br /> hospitality world, the realities of substance use in restaurant environments, and what it looks like<br /> to lead with compassion while still maintaining excellence. She reflects on how restaurant<br /> owners can create spaces where staff feel seen, supported, and safe enough to ask for help.</p> <p><br /> This is a conversation about leadership, vulnerability, and the responsibility we carry for the<br /> people we guide—whether in kitchens, counseling offices, churches, or businesses.</p> <p><br /> If you care about mental health, workplace culture, or the people who feed and serve our<br /> communities, this episode will move you.</p>
