Trauma and the Body: Emily Francis and Dawson Church in Conversation

Host Dr. Dawson Church and his guest Emily Francis talk about healing ourselves especially where trauma is involved.

The mind has an ability to check out in many situations when someone experiences trauma. Some refer to it as shock. For example: after an accident, more times than not the person will be hazy about the experience and cannot properly recall the entire set of events. We basically separate ourselves from any impact that may be occurring to the body itself. That is a gift of the mind that helps us to survive. The body, however, does not have that same luxury. The body cannot leave itself. The body takes the pain and absorbs the trauma. The way that our bodies store those particular memories is different from the way that our minds may remember it.  When we learn how to dialogue with our body directly in order to recall the memories as they actually occurred and without the narrative of the mind, we can help our body release the stored pain and trauma that may have eluded us in our attempts to heal to this point. On the flip side, an important piece of the work offered Emily’s book and work, is to use the same dialoguing skills with the body to access the happy and joyful memories that the soft tissues store in order to produce more of the same. Following this guidance, we can create within ourselves a place of overall connectedness and personal empowerment. This can result in an increase in overall health, vitality, and wellness that can drastically improve our quality of life.

The Spark! Igniting Your Best Life: Stephanie James and Dawson Church in Conversation

What does it mean to live a Spark filled life? It means waking up to a morning filled with possibility and potential that you intentionally plug into. It means moving past your PAST and leaning in fully to the present moment to create the kind of future you want, full of joy, abundance, and magical moments! The Spark is compelling and inspiring, guidance from Stephanie James, LCSW, who has drawn on her skills and vast experience as a psychotherapist. Stephanie shares current research techniques that helps readers gain clarity and understanding to help them easily assimilate and integrate them into their own lives.

Beginning with an understanding of how our brains and beliefs can keep us stuck in old habits, as well as ways to transform these beliefs, The Spark takes you on a journey through learning how to rewire thoughts and change your inner dialogue. It further explores our deep, hardwired need for connection and how it serves us, and how you can spice up your love life and cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships!

Part of the collective wisdom of The Spark comes from its ability to not only educate the reader on how to deal with uncomfortable feelings, but how to ignite the sparks within each one of us to live a richer more fulfilling life. As we heal ourselves, we become the concentric rings that that ripple out to all others. The book moves us to heal and teaches us how to reinvent ourselves (no matter what age or stage in life), plug into our greatest joy, and contribute our own gifts to the greater good in our world.

Uniquely equipped for times like these, Psychotherapist Stephanie James brings 30 years of rea-world experience, empowerment and “grit” to her clients and her audiences. A graduate of the University of Denver, Stephanie shares her training and gifts in her inspirational presentations as well as in her dynamic radio show and podcast, The Spark with Stephanie James. In a world desperately in need of love, healing and a clear path forward, Stephanie utilizes her expertise, experience and amazing interviews with today’s luminaries to bring The Spark to your life. She ignites her own life by being a leader in a local Random Acts of Kindness group, spending time with her two daughters and jumping on the trampoline with her grandsons.

Stephanie and co-producer Doug Beechwood recently completed a film, When Sparks Ignite, written by Stephanie and directed by Doug. The film features luminaries and thought leaders on a unique journey through life’s hardship and heartaches, to a place of healing where transformation of our own lives and that of our greater humanity is possible. We never know what sparks we might ignite in one another.

Recovery From Addiction: Adriana Popescu and Dawson Church in Conversation

Dr. Adriana Popescu is a licensed clinical psychologist and empowerment coach with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. She is a certified hypnotherapist and finds that EFT and other Energy Psychology methods provide incredibly powerful tools to identify and eliminate the deep-rooted causes of suffering and distress. She specializes in treating addiction, co-occurring disorders, and trauma, and has directed a number of treatment programs in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is currently the Clinical Director at Avery Lane, an innovative treatment program for women with co-occurring trauma, addiction and mental health disorders. She loves to empower people to overcome their perceived limitations, release their self-judgments, and discover the brilliance within.

She and Dawson are friends, and here they reflect on:

How Addiction is a social disease, triggered by loneliness.
Why conventional treatment is substance abuse focused, the usual approach is to treat trauma later.

Why most conventional treatments use the 12-step model with drug and alcohol counselors rather than Energy Psychology.

From the ACEs study we know that when people go through traumatic events produces lasting impact on brain and body.

Addiction clients are so used to growing up with trauma that meditation feels foreign, weird, they’re not used to relaxation.

Early on tapping, helps them get back in their body, brings cortisol and adrenaline down.

Starting with 10 minute guided meditation; brains can change and regenerate.

What creates sustained recovery is to let go of old persona and claim your light self.
