We may lose self-awareness and forget self-care. Before you try this podcast, think of a situation where this Story Form might help y...

Today’s podcast uses Story Form to support and heal those who have experienced chronic and repetitive traumas, health problems, or challenges that have undermined their self-confidence in being self-sufficient. This podcast records a ...

Holistic practitioners believe in healing the mind, body, and soul. However, it's rare to find clear examples of an association between spirituality, religiosity, and physical well-being. Tina's (pseudonym) healing journey clearly illustrates these relationships. Despite decades of disappointment in her struggle to find the "right" medications, Tina, who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, didn't need a long list of supplements to restore her health quickly and effectively. What helped her...

Today's recording walks you through the Empower Energy Technique (EET) to help you address the habit of bossing yourself around to get tasks done. It was an EET template used during one of my sessions with a patient that I think many people would benefit from healing within themselves. Many struggle with attention, focus, and organization long before being diagnosed with a mental health problem. That's because these functions are often the most sensitive to stress and show up long before depress...

Through my energy medicine training, I have learned to use energy testing techniques to assess patients' function. From my testing results, I have come to believe that many of my patients have difficulty with detoxification beyond the typical issues with methylation due to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). They also struggle with inadequate metabolic pathways involving glutathione and/or metallothionein. Glutathione helps with the detoxification of chemicals such as medications and metallo...
