S4E43 | “Jon Uhler LPC - What Happens in the D.I.D. System When a Survivor Gets Triggered”

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.

Jon’s recurring spot on ‘The Imagination’ has been so incredibly valuable and so many of you have reached out saying how much you value the information he’s been providing. The therapeutic element is a giant piece of the puzzle as we have to have helpers willing to step in and help survivors both understand what they went through and how to heal it. Unfortunately as you all have heard countless times on this show, getting proper help for something like dissociative identity disorder or finding someone willing to accept that things like satanic ritual abuse exists can be harder than it should be. Jon provides a refreshing take on healing by being able to provide very logical, scientific and clinical explanations to extreme trauma in ways that demystify the false memory lies that typically accompany patients with recovered memories and dissociation. And this happened all because he cared. Our hope with this series is that it can be of value for survivors to better understand what to expect in their healing journey with a therapist and that it can be of equal value to any helpers and therapists walking alongside a survivor in their healing.

On today’s episode, we are going to continue building on the foundations Jon has laid out for us in continuing our journey into understanding the inner world of a survivor’s system and parts. Jon has so graciously put together a very thorough and interactive visual for us to follow along with what he’s saying, so if you are listening on Spotify or iTunes, please feel free to find us on YouTube if you’d like to see the presentation while you listen. Jon is a hero for not turning a blind eye when it came to satanic ritual abuse and extreme trauma and all that I ask of you on the other side is that you please give him your full attention while he presents this ground-breaking information to us. My secret third hope in having Jon on the show is that he will inspire a new wave of practicing and inspiring therapists to have the courage to follow in his footsteps and I couldn’t think of a better person than Jon to champion this movement for our wounded warriors!
