Episode 530: Gunny Sodhi. Ayurveda & A Journey of Healing Jul 12, 2021

Show notes

Gunny Sodhi’s family roots in Ayurvedic medicine stretch across generations, but he didn’t personally understand the power of Ayurveda until tragedy struck. The sudden death of his 16-year-old brother completely changed the course of his life, setting him on an unexpected path of self-discovery.
Following his brother’s passing, Gunny was consumed by debilitating panic attacks and bouts of deep depression. Diagnosed with PTSD and desperate for relief, he found no comfort in traditional Western therapy. He was lost.
It was at that point that Gunny would rediscover his roots. On the advice of his family, he began supplementing his diet with Ashwagandha and other time-tested Ayurvedic remedies. Meditation and yoga became daily practices. Within six weeks, his anxiety faded and his depression lifted.
Gunny had experienced the healing potential of Mother Nature first-hand and, in doing so, found a new purpose. Out of a desire to help change people’s lives the way his life had been changed, YouVeda was born.
Its mission is simple: produce the best Ayurvedic products on the planet. By tapping into the intelligence of Mother Nature, Gunny has found a way to honor the memory of his brother while helping others on their own journeys toward healing and happiness.

Episode 527.5 The Trauma Therapist Newsletter. Issue #6 is out! Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

Issue #6, June 2021, of The Trauma Therapist Newsletter is out!
This month we feature the inspiring Nancy Morgan on the cover. If I had to describe what my podcast is about, or rather, what I hope it's about, one of the people I would say that I model the podcast after, would be Nancy Morgan. Nancy is the real deal. And when I say that I mean that she exudes compassion, genuineness and a breadth of knowledge that is inspiring. She gets to the heart of the matter in her discussions and I love that!
In our modalities section this month we feature Imago Therapy and highlight one of its practitioners/trainers.
In the "Incredible People" section we put the spotlight on some of the therapists who are continuing to do inspiring work: Brad Kammer and Mahshid Hager, MFT.

Episode 527: Sarah Peyton. Truth, Trauma & Self Warmth Jun 21, 2021

Show notes

Sarah Peyton joins me again. (She’s joined me previously.) This time to Talk about her new book, Your Resonant Self Workbook: From Self-sabotage to Self-care.
Why is it that we often don’t allow ourselves to feel warmth, to take a break, to chill out? And when we do, it’s often that we’re so hard on ourselves?
Sarah talks a lot about this in her book and how our actions like these tend to cut us off from our true selves and a richer life. Yes, I’m guilty of that!!
Sarah is a Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication and teaches people how language changes relationships and the brain. She works with audiences internationally to create a compassionate understanding of the effects of relational trauma on the brain, and writes about and teaches people how words change and heal us.
Her special interest is the way that difficult events impact our automatic brain patterning, and how to transform our tendencies toward self-criticism into self-warmth. Her first book is titled, Your Resonant Self: Guided Meditations and Exercises to Engage Your Brain’s Capacity for Healing.
Your Resonant Self Workbook: From Self-sabotage to Self-care takes us through the world of relational neuroscience and, using the lens of unconscious contracts, explores how our brains, nervous systems, and bodies react to the brains, nervous systems, and bodies of others.
This workbook provides the tools to turn inward with kindness, warmth, and curiosity and create opportunities for self-healing.

Episode 526: Jackson Goding. I Will Light Myself on Fire Jun 14, 2021

I loved having Jackson on the podcast. He pretty much represents everything I'm attempting to do with this podcast:
He's bringing honesty, courage, humor and dedication to his work, and for that reason I know you're going to enjoy this episode. I can't wait to have him back!
Jackson is a Counsellor and a psychotherapist at Find Reason Therapy, a private practice called in crows nest, Australia. Jackson prides himself in helping individuals to find reason to live, to grow and to understand.

Jackson provides a safe space for people experiencing emotional pain that want to find reason to improve and grow in their connections and life. The focus is on working together with challenges and concerns that can stem from issues ranging from communication, trust, intimacy, past trauma, repeated patterns, grief and loss to suicidality, addiction and mental health concerns.
Jackson is a registered member with Psychotherapy and Counsellor Federation of Australia. I have a Bachelor in Psychology and a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Jackson also runs a podcast on connection and mental health and loves writing and posting about practical and helpful gems.
