We're honored to share that Finding Hope's, Mary Vicario, LPCC-S, was recently featured on the Ohio Counseling Conversations podcast. In this engaging conversation, Mary dives into how storytelling, neuroscience, and relational connection come together to build resilience in individuals and communities.
For those who know our work at Finding Hope Consulting, you’ll recognize the powerful themes discussed in this episode—like the Five Resilience Factors, the importance of co-regulation, and how our Trauma-Informed Biographical Timeline (TIBT) approach supports healing and growth. If you're new to our resources, this episode is a great starting point to understand how we bridge science and heart to make trauma-responsive care practical and accessible.
Highlights from the Episode:
The Power of Storytelling: Mary explains how integrating personal narratives into care helps rewire the brain and make meaning from trauma, especially when guided by safe, regulated relationships.
The Five Resilience Factors: Developed by Mary and our team, these factors offer a strengths-based, brain-informed path to healing that can be used in clinical, educational, and community settings.
TIBT in Action: Learn how our signature TIBT tool empowers individuals to chart their life stories—not just by the hard parts, but by the moments of strength and resilience.
We created Finding Hope to ensure that the neuroscience of trauma isn’t locked away in academic journals—it’s something everyone can use. This episode captures that mission beautifully.
