I am thrilled to have back on - our feature presenter for our Tuesday Night weekly podcast event: Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider, Licensed Professional Counselor, Founder of Survivor Support, Podcast host of own podcast and channel @JonKUhlerLPC on YouTube, father of 3, husband to his high school sweetheart, survivor advocate, and someone you all heavily requested to bring back: Jon Uhler.
In case you are new here or missed Jon’s briefing on his background on the first episode we did together, here is a short recap of Jon’s many accolades and credentials: Jon’s work began over 30 years ago and the evolution of his career path is nothing short of astonishing. His education includes attending Epic Bible College, Biola University, Talbot School of Theology, and California State University and Fullerton. He’s worked in both clinical and administrative capacities, outpatient and hospital settings, intensive day treatment settings, residential treatment programs, and in secure (locked) facilities - including over 11 years on Psychology Staff within the Pennsylvania Dept. of Corrections where he’s logged more clinical contact hours within Solitary Confinement than any Psych Staff in the entire US. Prior to his work with incarcerated men, he spent years working with sexual abuse Survivors, and treating Severely Emotionally Disturbed adolescents in group homes and within the largest intensive psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility for troubled youth west of the MIssissippi.
When Jon is not providing professional therapy or podcasting, he serves in an advocacy role, toward helping increase safety for vulnerable women and minors, who are being placed in harm's way by those pushing dangerous ideologies, public policies, and legislation.
This important series John is doing with us is an on-going education where we are providing a weekly series - as our schedules permit - where you get to learn alongside an incredible therapist who works with healing SRA and mind control survivors - on what to expect in therapy from a therapist’s perspective as well as from the patient’s perspective. Therapy for survivors waking up to horrific trauma can be just as terrifying as the memories themselves. Opening up and trusting a therapist can be absolutely daunting and scary - especially when you don’t know what to expect or how to vet someone out for the help you need. Jon’s ongoing series here on ‘The Imagination’ not only educates us on therapy itself, but he actually is walking us through - episode by episode - how to vet your therapist and how your therapist vets you, as well as topics like journaling prompts, how to handle handlers, forgiveness, and so much more. On these past few episodes, we’ve been diving into dissociation and Dissociative Identity Disorder to really help viewers and survivors understand a dissociative system as well as all of it’s moving - and talking - parts, and how it functions as a whole. This information is ground-breaking as it’s an incredibly difficult topic to discuss and also an incredibly difficult topic to understand. There aren’t many therapists who understand this information, much less who are willingly speaking publicly about it, so we are very blessed and fortunate for Jon’s courage and bravery to tread this uncharted territory.
On today’s episode, we will be continuing our journey into learning about and discussing dissociative systems and parts of a survivor using an incredibly helpful visual graphic Jon put together for us that breaks down the layers of a system as a whole down to it’s individual parts.
