Andrea J. Medaris: Can Relationships Help Heal Trauma?

In this episode of Make Mental Health Matter Show, host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt has special guest Andrea J. Medaris.

A little bit about Andrea’s story from her:

I'm a couple therapist and treat many clients where one or both partners have a trauma history. Having done both individual and couple work around trauma, I've come to believe that couple therapy is one of the best ways to treat relational trauma (which most trauma is).

Short Bio:

Andrea J. Medaris, Psy.D., is a licensed psychologist, certified supervisor in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Director of the Center for Relationships at Psychology Specialists of Maine, and President of EFT Maine. She has spent the past decade in clinical work with couples, particularly relationships shaped by trauma, disconnection, and recurring conflict. She writes The Emotional Logic, a newsletter making sense of love, conflict, and desire, and her first book, What You Wish For, argues that emotional security and passion aren't the tradeoff we've been told they are.

How Eight Days Of Hope Builds Safe Homes For Trafficking Survivors

A doorknob that never turns in the night should be ordinary, but for many trafficking survivors it feels like a miracle. That single detail becomes a thread we keep pulling as we return to Retreat to Peace with a raw personal update and a conversation that doesn’t let us look away from what’s happening in our towns, our travel stops, and sometimes even our own families.

I start by sharing my own testimony after multiple jaw surgeries and an exhausting recovery that brought pain, isolation, and a desperate 2:30 AM cry to God. I also share a terrifying spiritual moment that forced me to fight for peace in real time and how I later learned a friend was prompted to wake up at the exact same hour to pray for me. If you’ve ever wondered whether prayer matters when you feel helpless, this story will meet you right where you are.

Then I’m joined by Steve Tybor, founder of Eight Days of Hope, a Christian disaster relief and rebuilding ministry that now also builds safe homes and healing campuses for women and children rescued from human trafficking. We talk honestly about why trafficking happens, how pornography and addiction fuel demand, how grooming works, and why most trafficking doesn’t look like the movies. Steve shares practical warning signs to watch for, common red flags in places like hotels and “massage parlors,” and what a real path to survivor healing can require: safety, counseling, medical support, and long-term trauma-informed care.

If this conversation stirs you, don’t let it stop at awareness. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find practical human trafficking prevention and survivor support resources.

What If Your Senses Could Help You Heal, Reset, and Respond Differently?

What if some of the most powerful tools for calming the nervous system and supporting healing are already with us every day—our senses?

Scarlett Lewis welcomes Adora Winquist, known as the “Modern Alchemist,” for a fascinating conversation about the connection between our senses, emotions, the nervous system, and healing. Adora shares approaches she has used in her work with military members and their families, including those navigating the challenges of returning home from war and the effects of trauma.

Together, Scarlett and Adora explore how sensory experiences—including scent—can help us pause, regulate our emotions, reconnect with ourselves, and create space between what happens to us and how we respond. They discuss Adora’s Modern Alchemy approach, which blends ancient practices with modern understanding of well-being, as well as practical ways sensory tools can be incorporated into everyday life.

For teachers, school leaders, counselors, parents, and anyone supporting young people, this conversation offers an intriguing perspective on creating calmer, more intentional environments while also caring for our own well-being.

Ultimately, this episode is about discovering the everyday tools available to us for navigating stress, supporting healing, and strengthening our ability to make a Choice Moment—pausing before reacting so we can respond with greater awareness, compassion, and love.

How to Make Decisions After Infidelity When Every Choice Feels Wrong

After betrayal, every decision can feel catastrophic. Stay or leave? Give more grace or set a harder boundary? Invest in support or save the money in case you need it later? When your brain is hyperalert, every possibility can begin to look like proof that one wrong choice will ruin your future.

In this episode, Lora Cheadle explores why hypervigilance can disguise itself as careful decision-making—and why self-trust does not mean making perfect choices. Through the story of rebuilding her home after a devastating sewer explosion, along with her own experiences of choosing beauty, pleasure, and higher standards, Lora shows how recovery shifts when you stop trying to recreate the old or justify every choice and begin creating a life that genuinely reflects who you are now.

Top 3 Takeaways

Hypervigilance can make every possibility look like catastrophe.

After betrayal, your brain is trying to protect you from ever being blindsided again. That can turn thoughtful decision-making into endless analysis, freezing, catastrophizing, and searching for guarantees that do not exist.

Self-trust is not making the perfect decision.

Self-trust means knowing that you can choose, experience what happens, gather more information, ask for help, reassess, change direction, and choose again. A decision that does not turn out perfectly is not proof that there is something wrong with you.

Recovery is not about rebuilding the old life.

Whether you stay, leave, remodel your marriage, or create something entirely new, the deeper question is what you want your life to feel like now. Higher standards are not perfectionism. They are a willingness to value truth, emotional safety, beauty, pleasure, self-respect, and a life that feels fully yours.

Favorite Quotes

“Familiar does not mean it’s automatically right. Cheap does not mean it’s automatically the wisest decision. Practical does not automatically mean it’s aligned with who you are and where you’re going.”

“Beauty and loving yourself and loving your surroundings…is evidence that you’ve come back to life.”

“Your decisions do not have to be perfect. You just need to trust yourself enough to manage your life.”
