    Michael on Trauma Without the Pain: The Cortina Method That’s Changing PTSD Forever

What if you never had to relive a single painful memory again? In this powerful and eye-opening episode, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles sit down with Michael Cortina, founder and creator of The Cortina Method — a brain-based methodology designed to resolve trauma, PTSD, and deeply rooted emotional pain without retraumatization. And yes… It’s as life-changing as it sounds. Michael shares how years of witnessing clients suffer through traditional therapy models — reliving trauma, crying through sessions, leaving drained instead of hopeful — pushed him to rethink everything we’ve been taught about healing. His frustration with old-school approaches and his belief that “there has to be a better way” led him to develop a method so effective that many people report complete symptom resolution in a single session. Together, the trio dives into why reliving trauma isn’t necessary, how the brain actually reprocesses pain, what “conscious ketchup” means, and why hope isn't the goal — true resolution is. Michael also opens up about the backlash he faced for challenging outdated mental health systems… and why he refuses to stop. If you’ve ever wished healing could be faster, gentler, or more empowering, this episode will expand your entire understanding of what’s possible. Real transformation doesn’t have to be torture — and Michael is here to prove it.

She opens up about swimming inch by inch, trusting her instincts, and refusing to let outside forces define her future. Together, they explore the emotional exhaustion of hopelessness, the power of small wins, and why joy is something you intentionally create rather than stumble into.

  • Melissa on OCD & Anxiety Recovery: Real Tools That Actually Help

    Melissa on OCD & Anxiety Recovery: Real Tools That Actually Help
    Dec 2 2025
    Kicking off Season 15 with a conversation that hits straight at the heart of what so many people silently struggle with, Dr. Melissa Dufrene joins us to unpack the mental noise, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion that OCD and anxiety can create — and what becomes possible when someone finally gets the right support. From the battles people fight behind closed doors to the quiet courage it takes to challenge fear rather than accommodate it, this opening episode sets the tone for a season rooted in honesty, healing, and hope. In this deeply human conversation, G-Rex and Dirty Skittles sit down with Melissa — board-certified clinical psychologist and co-owner of Rise Center for OCD & Anxiety — to explore recovery, resilience, and the real work of reclaiming your life. Sh!t That Goes On In Our Heads — a 2024 People’s Choice Podcast Award Winner (Best Health) and 2024 Women in Podcasting Award Winner (Best Mental Health Podcast) with over 2 million downloads and counting — continues its mission to spark unfiltered conversations about the human mind.

Mental Health Quote “You don’t rise by avoiding fear — you rise by walking with it.” — inspired by Dr. Melissa Dufrene Episode Description When the world shut down in 2020, anxiety didn’t shrink — it intensified. Clinicians were overwhelmed, families were struggling, and people with OCD suddenly found themselves trapped in a nightmare of uncertainty and isolation. In this powerful Season 15 opener, Dr. Melissa Dufrene joins G-Rex and Dirty Skittles to pull back the curtain on what OCD and anxiety actually feel like from the inside — and why healing is absolutely possible with the right tools. Melissa shares how she and her business partner launched Rise Center for OCD & Anxiety during the pandemic, driven by the urgent need for specialized care. She explains why accommodating anxiety might feel comforting in the moment but can create long-term hardship — especially for kids who slowly retreat into smaller, safer worlds without realizing what they’re losing. Together, they explore the emotional exhaustion that comes with living in a noisy, fear-driven mind, the power of being truly heard, and why sometimes the most healing phrase in the world is, “Yeah… that sucks.” G-Rex shares her experience helping a stranger through a grounding exercise in a crowded conference hall. At the same time, Melissa offers practical, research-backed strategies rooted in exposure therapy, values-based action, and learning to let fear exist without feeding it. This episode is heartfelt, hopeful, and packed with real-talk reminders that anxiety isn’t weakness — it’s a signal. And when people get the right support, they rise higher than they ever imagined.

She is devoted to increasing access to high-quality OCD and anxiety treatment, training clinicians, and empowering clients to stop avoiding life and step toward the things they value most. When she’s not working with clients, Melissa can be found chasing after her two boys, enjoying New Orleans food and festivals, diving into music with her husband, or daydreaming about her next scuba trip.
