Dr. Michael Zhang is the co-founder of Incumental. Before launching the platform, he worked as a clinician at the University of Sydney, supporting people struggling with gambling and other behavioral addictions. In his clinical work, he noticed a recurring gap: therapy was helpful, but many people needed support between sessions, while others weren’t ready for therapy at all and still wanted a private, practical way to regain control. Incumental grew out of that insight. Today, Michael focuses on turning clinical knowledge into accessible, scalable tools that support real behavior change, long-term recovery, and sustainable personal growth at the intersection of psychology and technology.In This EpisodeIncumentalIncumental on IGBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.

Dr. Smita Das is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine, and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. With over 20 years of experience in clinical care, research, and leadership—including her role as VP of Psychiatry & Complex Care at Lyra Health—she’s known for bringing nuance and compassion to how we talk about trauma and addiction.

She’s been a leading voice in reframing motherhood—not just as joy, but as a potential mental health breaking point. Dr. Das explores how sleep deprivation, identity rupture, hormonal shifts, and the invisibility of caregiving pain can mirror complex trauma, challenging the notion that maternal crises are rare.In This EpisodeDr. Smita in Psychology TodayThe Science Behind RecoveryDr. Das on LinkedInBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.

I read that the quote that Linda mentioned ( which is so thought provoking) was by Lon B Johnston 2 April, 2003.
hey, thanks for the pod. the volume is Really discrepant. from the host to the visitor. it's like a 700% difference- i can't hear the interviewer at all and keep the guest at a reasonable level. improving this sound issue would help a lot. and cutting the guest off mid-sentence with an ad was pretty weird. sorry for the poorer review, hope things improve for future episodes!
Jennifer is my new bff. When she said it was like I was in a haze. Exactly my experience with trauma. I'm super excited about the book, I love that she is into somatic experience. Thank you for this podcast
An excellent source of information, not just for therapists, or patients but also for relatives. I can only imagine what trauma patients must suffer through to get help. This podcast provides new insights with every episode. I'm very glad I found Guys podcast a few months ago and enables me to understand my girlfriends daily suffering better and be a better support for her. Thanks you!
