Imagine a generation shaped by hardship and resilience, yet taught to hide their emotions behind a stoic facade. What happens when those silent struggles are passed down through the family tree? Join us on a thoughtful journey as we explore the legacy of the silent generation, born between 1928 and 1945, and the profound impact of their unaddressed traumas on subsequent generations. From the stark realities of the Great Depression to the seismic shifts of World War II, we paint a vivid picture of the societal forces that demanded stoicism and emotional suppression, setting the stage for a cycle of unresolved trauma. Our conversation emphasizes the silent generation's influence on baby boomers, highlighting the challenging balance between the values of discipline and the longing for emotional warmth.
As we unravel generational parenting patterns, we reflect on how these silent struggles often led to rebellion or conformity among baby boomers, occasionally manifesting in destructive behaviors like substance abuse. Our guest, Mama Gowan, brings invaluable insights into how millennials are courageously challenging these inherited norms to cultivate healthier emotional expressions. With anticipation, we prepare for Mama Gallen's upcoming session, where her firsthand accounts of wartime resilience will offer further clarity. We affirm our shared commitment to addressing and healing generational trauma, offering hope and encouragement to those willing to confront these challenges in search of peace and a renewed understanding of their intrinsic worth.

The episode about dysregulated nervous system with Lauren Starnes
Internal Family Systems Episode
Unlock the secrets of your past and discover how the trauma of your ancestors might be affecting your life today. Join us as we explore the intriguing world of intergenerational trauma, where the echoes of wars, slavery, and familial struggles ripple through time, impacting beliefs, behaviors, and even health. Learn how these deep-rooted experiences get etched into our DNA and what science has to say about the mysterious link between trauma and gene expression.
In this enlightening episode, we tackle the concept of trauma inheritance, focusing on how epigenetics plays a pivotal role in transmitting trauma from one generation to the next. With gripping narratives from Holocaust survivors and the descendants of enslaved people, we unravel how these inherited fears manifest as hypervigilance and emotional unavailability. But fear not, for we also shed light on the paths to healing, offering insights into how therapy and self-awareness can dismantle these cycles, ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.
Our journey doesn't stop with science and psychology; we delve into the realm of spirituality to explore the transformative power of embracing one’s identity. Through the metaphor of the sea parting to pave a path to freedom, we celebrate the journey from fear to freedom. Join us as we affirm the liberating realization of being a cherished "child of God," grounding ourselves in love and acceptance, and paving the way for a fear-free future. This episode promises not just understanding but also hope and healing.

FacebookAs Hurricane Milton approaches Florida Amy Watson is faithfully trusting in the Lord and His will while preparing to hunker down until the storm passes.
Even during this time she always has you, her listeners in her heart and mind and recognizes that during these uncertain times we all need a little extra hope and comfort.
Join Amy as we combine two Wednesdays With Watson episodes that put the focus on the Lord during times of trouble.
The first is from Season 5 Summer in Psalms. The episode is called Exploring God's Faithfulness in Times of Trouble. Click HERE to listen to the full episode.
We have also included an episode from Season 3, Spaces, Places, and Aces. The episode is called Protecting Your Peace In A World That Is Not Peaceful. Click HERE to listen to this episode.
Navigating the stormy seas of life can leave us feeling adrift and uncertain, especially after the devastation brought by hurricanes Helene and Milton to the Southeast and Florida. Our episode invites you to explore how faith and the comforting words of the Psalms, alongside David Crowder's heartfelt music, can act as anchors during such tumultuous times. We reflect on the vital reminder that even when our spirits feel crushed, there is solace in knowing that God stands close to those who are hurting.
As the world grapples with civil unrest and its ripple effects on our mental well-being, particularly for those with PTSD or empathy overload, maintaining personal peace can seem like an insurmountable task. Drawing on insights from John Eldredge's "Take Your Life Back," we discuss practical strategies to reclaim serenity in the midst of global chaos. By reducing screen time and practicing benevolent attachment, we can learn to release burdens that aren't ours to carry. Faith and prayer emerge as powerful tools, helping us find strength and comfort in reclaiming our peace, an essential step for living a balanced life in turbulent times.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the state of the world, finding it difficult to maintain hope and peace? Join us on the season premiere of Wednesdays with Watson as we explore how to navigate these tumultuous times with faith and resilience. In our first chapter, we confront the pervasive sense of hopelessness and anxiety fueled by global and national crises. We emphasize that true hope doesn't come from political leaders or legislation but from the power of God working through our hearts. By reflecting on biblical wisdom, we find strength and learn how to maintain mental health amidst the chaos.
In the second chapter, we delve into the importance of trusting in God rather than earthly rulers or circumstances. Discover how biblical stories of resilience and divine protection can guide us through today's anxieties and fears. We highlight Philippians 4, providing practical advice on focusing on what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy. This approach helps us to maintain our mental well-being and fulfill our mission to spread the gospel. We also explore how spiritual practices and scripture can anchor us in faith, offering a beacon of hope even in the darkest times.
Finally, we shift our focus to the significance of community, church, and counseling in maintaining peace and faith. Personal anecdotes illustrate how letting faith and community support provide hope and stability is crucial. We offer practical steps for navigating the turmoil, such as controlling news consumption and avoiding stressful discussions about elections. Ending on a powerful note of transformative grace, we remind ourselves that we are called to live a renewed life, made for more than the chaos surrounding us. Join us for this poignant episode as we find hope and resilience together.

Dive into the harrowing reality of trauma's prevalence and its long-term impact on mental health.

Join me as I recount the monumental celebration of my 50th birthday, aptly named my "Super Jubilee." We revisit heartfelt memories shared by five influential people from each decade of my life, exploring the profound themes of liberation, freedom, and rest that have steered my journey through 2022. Embrace with me the power of intentional celebrations and the importance of valuing oneself at every milestone.
This year has been nothing short of transformative, filled with radical resets and profound forgiveness. After stepping away from a long-standing career in business, I took a leap of faith into vocational ministry, trusting in divine provision. Together, we’ll navigate the painful memories of childhood abuse and the heartbreak of abandoning my dream of becoming a doctor following my mother's death. Inspired by Revelation 21:5, I share how embracing forgiveness and releasing past pain has paved the way for new beginnings and a renewed sense of purpose.
Moreover, we delve into the significance of holy rest and the pursuit of one's dreams. My year-long sabbatical was a time of deep reflection, leading to a career shift towards mental health care. Now as a behavioral health technician, I guide patients through their darkest moments, finding clarity and healing. This episode culminates in an exciting announcement of our upcoming series, "Trauma and You," where we’ll explore generational trauma from the Silent Generation to Gen Z. Join me in this intimate and transformative journey, as we seek scandalous freedom and embrace the grace of new beginnings.You ARE:

We discuss pivotal moments that illustrate how trauma manifests in daily life and the need to remove mental health stigmas. By sharing personal anecdotes alongside biblical references, we examine the universal nature of trauma and the significance of safe spaces.
Faith, community, and the fight for self-acceptance are central to our conversations.

Dr. Catherine Jackson, known affectionately as Dr. J, graces our podcast with her deep understanding of neuropsychology and trauma-informed therapy.

From the importance of simple gestures like a cup of coffee invitation to the transformative power of patient listening, we discuss the balance between sharing and oversharing within our faith communities. We also delve into the significance of trauma response, especially in women's ministries, and how leadership can navigate these sensitive realms with compassion and grace.
As we wrap things up, we contemplate how mental health support teams could revolutionize care within the church, mirroring the compassion Jesus exemplified. We also prepare for our next meaningful conversation with Lainey Gibney on trauma-informed foster parenting.

Join me as I sit down with Lauren Starnes, a compassionate physician's assistant in psychiatric medicine, to uncover the vital interplay between our physical sensations and mental health. In a revealing conversation, we tackle the often-overlooked language of the body post-trauma, discussing how tuning into these messages not only enhances self-awareness but can also be a matter of survival.

Embarking on a voyage of vulnerability, I open the treasure chest of my past where childhood trauma and the search for faith intertwine. Lydia Garner graciously steps into the interviewer's seat for this anniversary edition of the Wednesdays with Watson podcast, navigating through the waters of my personal narrative. Together, we unveil the intricate patterns of loss and abuse, but more prominently, the redemptive power of the gospel that has been my beacon of hope. The steadfast figures who've anchored me in trust and the scriptures that have been my compass through the darkest storms are shared with immense gratitude.
The voices from my church community resonate throughout our conversation, highlighting the male figures who, against the backdrop of my traumatic experiences, helped me to rebuild trust brick by brick.

As the sails are set towards a horizon of trauma-informed education, we celebrate the milestones reached and the journey ahead. Gratitude overflows for the listeners, supporters, and friends who have accompanied me on this four-year odyssey, and for the new chapter that beckons with the promise of a doctorate focused on the intersection of faith and healing. This episode not only honors the voyage thus far but also sets course for the opportunities that await to spread hope and to continue fostering connections through storytelling.

Navigating the turbulent waters of life's greatest challenges, we often find solace in shared stories of resilience. In the raw echo of personal loss and the relentless pursuit of faith, Rachel Scott McDaniel and Crissy Loughridge join me to bear witness to the power of a God-centered life. We unravel the threads of trauma and triumph, from the depths of miscarriage to the complexities of raising children with special needs, all while embracing the beauty of Psalm 34 as our anchor in the storm.
Our conversation is a tapestry woven with the delicate fibers of mental health, faith, and the indomitable human spirit. It's a heart-to-heart that transcends the spoken word, offering an intimate glimpse into the silent battles fought within the confines of the mind and the unyielding hope that guides us through. Rachel's story is a testament to the miraculous marriage of faith and friendship, and together, we dissect the notion of positive thinking as not just a mental exercise but a deliberate act of trust in God's omnipresent guidance.
As the night yields to dawn, we depart with a chorus of encouragement for every soul tuned in. Rachel's forthcoming novel, "Walking on Hidden Wings," stands as a symbol of hope, a reminder that the narrative of our lives continues to unfold in the most unexpected of ways. Through our candid exchange, we extend a heartfelt invitation to you—our fellow journeyers—to join us in celebrating the joy and faithfulness that abound, even when the path ahead is cloaked in shadows.You ARE:

When Takiya La'Shaune stepped into the studio, her presence brought forth an aura of strength shaped by her own brush with childhood trauma. Our conversation, set against the backdrop of April's significance for Child Abuse and Autism Awareness, becomes a sanctuary where faith and healing intertwine. Takiya, with her podcast 'Behind the Smile', joins us in uncovering the resilience that faith can foster, even as life throws its cruelest curveballs. We marvel at the courage of our guests who share their heart-wrenching yet inspiring stories of maintaining faith amidst life's storms, demonstrating the profound comfort and transformation that can arise from a steadfast belief in something greater.
The power of faith often shines brightest against the darkness of adversity, and that's what our guests' narratives illuminate—each a beacon guiding us through forgiveness, acceptance, and the arduous path to recovery. From a mother's relentless hope during her daughter's mental health crisis to a miraculous turn of events following a devastating car accident, these stories are not just spoken; they are lived testaments to faith's enduring presence. They remind us that faith, in its essence, is not merely a concept but a living, breathing force that accompanies us through our most challenging trials, offering solace and a sense of divine companionship.
As your host, I, too, share my personal encounter with faith as I faced my son's life-threatening accident—a moment where time stood still, and everything hinged on the power of prayer and trust in the unseen. This episode culminates with an outpouring of love and value to you, Takiyah, and all our listeners, inviting you to find solace in your beliefs.

Healing from the invisible wounds of childhood trauma is a journey many embark on, but few speak about with such candor and depth as we do on our podcast. Anchored by the emotionally resonant words of Antoine Fisher's poetry, our latest episode explores the profound effects of early adversities and the resilient spirit that can emerge in the face of such challenges. Drawing from my learnings in a recent class on adolescent and child psychology, I weave a narrative of hope and potential for recovery, inviting listeners to understand the complexities of trauma through a lens of compassion and knowledge.
As we navigate the terrain of a child's psyche, we confront the developmental repercussions of trauma and its insidious ability to mold behaviors and relationships. The episode takes an earnest look at the significance of attachment styles rooted in the pioneering theories of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, uncovering the lasting impact of our formative bonds. Such discussions are not just academic; they serve as a beacon for those striving to comprehend their own life stories or seeking to support the vulnerable young souls around them.
Concluding with a soul-stirring chapter on faith and hope, I reach out to listeners with reassurances of intrinsic worth and the promise of unwavering love. Sharing my own tales of survival and the life-affirming presence of Jesus, I aim to embolden you to find solace and strength within your own narrative. As we press pause on the conversation, remember that the threads of support and understanding are ever-present, ready to be picked up and woven into a tapestry of healing when we return. Join us as we continue to share heartfelt dialogues that shine light into the overlooked corners of our lives.You ARE:

Get the book Better than I Should Be by Christina Ivey
When the chorus of "Jesus Loves Me" becomes more than a hymn—when it becomes a lifeline—we're reminded of the profound impact faith can have, especially when faced with life's harshest realities. Our guest, Tina Ivy, bears witness to this truth, opening up about the intersection of faith and trauma with a candidness that is both harrowing and hopeful. Her narrative, marked by childhood abuse and a complex journey towards healing, challenges us to consider the ways in which we cling to faith in moments when the world seems to forsake us.
As we navigate through Tina's experiences, from the abusive shadows of her past to the sanctuary of her foster family's church, we are privy to an intimate exploration of the human spirit. Her story unfolds, revealing how deeply personal trauma can warp our self-perception and the paths we take to cope. Yet, the undercurrent of hope, embodied in her constant return to the belief in a loving God, offers a beacon of light for anyone who has felt lost in the darkness. Tina's testament is not just one of resilience, but also of the incredible capacity for faith to guide us toward redemption and self-discovery.
Our conversation culminates in a poignant reflection on forgiveness, the embracing of faith by those we least expect, and the unwavering conviction that we are all unconditionally loved by God. Tina's reconciliation with her father and the transformative nature of her faith remind us that even in the depths of despair, there is potential for profound change. Her story, chronicled in "Better Than I Should Be," serves not only as an inspiration but as an invitation—to find solace in faith, to seek understanding, and to remember that no matter our past, we are seen, known, heard, and valued.You ARE:
