Lowering Barriers: How "Everyday First Responders" Are Solving the Public Mental Health Crisis with Justin Goodman – Episode 482
You don't need to be a therapist to save a life. You just need the courage to put a friendship on the line and start a difficult conversation. On this episode of Behavioral Health Today, host Peter Fenger sits down with mental health advocate, speaker, and Project 55 co-founder, Dr. Justin Goodman. Following a powerful personal journey through high-stakes performance, addiction, and recovery, Justin realized a critical truth: the people closest to a crisis are usually the first to notice, yet the last to be equipped to help. To change that narrative, his 501(c)(3) nonprofit provides entirely free training that has already empowered over 35,000 citizens to step up as mental health first responders. Tune in as Peter and Justin explore how we can break the stigma, bridge the treatment gap, and give ordinary people the practical tools they need to recognize a crisis and support those quietly struggling in our workplaces and communities.

The Shadow in the Room: How Attachment Wounds Sabotage Your Relationships with Nima Rahmany – Episode 478
Co-dependency says, "I need you to feel safe." True co-regulation says, "You remind me of my own inherent capacity to regulate," while self-regulation is simply co-regulating with the younger parts of yourself. On this episode of Behavioral Health Today, host Peter Fenger speaks with Dr. Nima Rahmany, a leading expert in shadow work, nervous system regulation, and somatic attachment healing. After a 20-year career as a chiropractor, Dr. Nima experienced a profound career pivot when he realized conventional clinical models were missing a vital piece of the healing puzzle: the nervous system. Driven by his own journey through divorce and breaking toxic relational cycles, he developed The Trigger Proof Method™, a signature framework designed to help high-achieving professionals and parents escape the traps of codependency and self-abandonment. Today, Dr. Nima blends two decades of mind-body expertise to disrupt generational trauma and guide clients toward authentic, secure connection. Join us as we explore the profound intersection of nervous system regulation, shadow work, and attachment theory—moving beyond surface-level, trauma-informed awareness and straight into the practical, somatic repair of your most vital relationships.
