Lisa is joined by Shannon Duncan, an entrepreneur and author to talk about his book, Coming Full Circle: Using Psychedelics to Heal Trauma. He also penned: Present Moment Awareness. Duncan lives in California finding his way to an authentic expression of himself, including and especially his sense of humor, has been the most rewarding aspect of healing from trauma.
More about Shannon and the book:
Shannon Duncan tried everything to heal from his debilitating childhood trauma. His breakthrough came when he explored psychedelics under the close and skilled guidance of trained professionals. Duncan carefully chronicles his experience in Coming Full Circle: Using Psychedelics to Heal Trauma (On sale: March 7, 2023; Present Moment Press Inc). The book aims to empower its readers with a greater understanding of the true potential, limitations, risks, and nuances to the process of using psychedelics to heal trauma. With each passing year, new evidence emerges about the immense healing potential psychedelics offer for anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD and more. And this information comes from credible studies and research groups. As the information grows so too does the often-dangerous misinformation generated by profiteers and pseudo experts. To help disseminate information properly and as an advocate for those seeking to heal from trauma, it is Duncan’s sincere wish that sharing what he learned through his experiences will be of service to those who are in need. A fierce protector of those who are utilizing psychedelics as a way to heal their emotional wounds and trauma, Duncan knows firsthand the courage, determination, and vulnerability required to approach emotional healing in this specialized way. In the book, Duncan shares what he learned during his own intensive multi-year process of healing trauma with the help of psychedelics.

Jeff shares some of the stories of the wonderful dogs at Monkey's House as well as the many ways that they care for these lovely dogs. Love, attention, medical treatment and surgeries (some by the wonderful Dr. Judy Morgan) and a number of therapies including nutritional therapy, give these dogs the best rest of their lives they can have.
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
How sad it would have been had Cole disappeared into that dark room in the back of the shelter, alone and frightened, as if he never existed. This is often the fate of dogs afflicted with medical issues. Cole, a senior dog with cancer, was discarded by his owner, much like throwing away an old pair of shoes. In 2015, Michele and Jeff Allen said enough is enough and started Monkey’s House a Dog Hospice & Sanctuary. Celebrating the beauty each dog has to offer, they have welcomed over 100 hospice dogs into their home. Thankfully, Cole was rescued by Monkey’s House and experienced his final chapter of life filled with dignity and love.This book highlights 37 of the dogs that have called Monkey’s House home. Share in their journeys, laugh at their crazy antics, and shed a few tears while witnessing miracles of transformation. Rejoice along with these dogs, knowing they experienced the greatest gift of all, the healing power of love.The Allens and Best Chapter Publishing are donating a portion of the proceeds from Where Dogs Go to LIVE to Monkey’s House a Dog Hospice & Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization.

Show notes

Lisa is joined by Lisa J. Edwards, the author of A Dog Named Boo: How One Dog and One Woman Rescued Each Other―and the Lives They Transformed Along the Way.
Lisa J. Edwards is a full-time professional dog trainer and behavioral consultant and the owner-operator of Three Dogs Training.

In 2008, Boo was honored as one of five finalists for the Delta Society's national Beyond Limits Award for his therapy work with Lisa.On October 14, 2012 A Dog Named Boo entered the Sunday Times Top Ten Paperback Bestseller list!
When Lisa Edwards came across this puppy Boo while on her way to buy Halloween candy, she immediately noticed that this puppy wasn't like the others. He was bumping into things, was very mellow, and was something special. She got Boo and had a very hard time training him, especially when it came to potty training (took over a year.) As a dog trainer, she knew there was something going on with her sweet Boo. Turns out her has something called Cerebellum Hyperplasia. With patience, persistence, and letting go of perfection, Boo became an incredible therapy dog and changed the lives of so many people.
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
The International Bestseller
The 'feel good' book of the season… Boo’s story reminds all of us that life is full of possibilities and that hope often arrives wagging a tail. —Best Friends magazine
The dunce of obedience class with poor eyesight and a clumsy gait, Boo was the least likely of heroes. Yet with his unflappable spirit and boundless love, Boo has changed countless lives through his work as a therapy dog: inspiring a six-year-old boy to speak for the first time in his life, coaxing movement from a paralyzed girl and stirring life in a ninety-four-year-old nun with Alzheimer’s disease. But perhaps Boo’s greatest miracle is the way he transformed Lisa Edwards’s life, giving her the best gift of all: faith in herself.
This is the inspiring true story of how one woman and one dog rescued each other, a moving tribute to hope, resilience and the transformative power of unconditional love.
