In this episode of Therapy 101, a licensed mental health professional walks you through the most common types of therapy and how they actually work in real life. From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to psychodynamic, humanistic, and trauma-focused approaches, this episode gives you a clear, jargon-free understanding of modern psychotherapy.

You’ll learn how different therapy styles address anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and emotional regulation—and how to decide which approach may be right for you. This episode also explores what therapy really is (and isn’t), what to expect in sessions, and why the therapist-client relationship matters just as much as the method itself.

Whether you're considering therapy for the first time, returning after a break, or simply curious about mental health, this episode offers grounded, expert insight to help you feel more informed and confident.

This episode of Trauma & Healing with host Marquis takes listeners on a powerful, compassionate journey into the realities of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) — what it is, how it manifests, and most importantly, how healing is possible.

Marquis unpacks the science of trauma, dismantles common myths, and explores practical pathways toward recovery. With a calm, reflective tone, he guides listeners through the emotional landscape of PTSD — from understanding the brain’s response to trauma, to discovering evidence-based therapies and self-healing practices that foster resilience and hope.

This episode is both educational and deeply human, offering validation for those who’ve experienced trauma and insight for those who wish to support them. It’s a reminder that while trauma may shape us, it does not define us — and that healing, though complex, is always within reach.
