Many people are afraid to heal from their trauma because they think it will be painful. It doesn't have to be! Art therapy makes it soulful, fun and beautiful. And, you don't have to be artistic to do it. Yesterday, a group of male addiction clients created a collage of their true selves. They completed their collages while quietly concentrating, laughing and telling old stories. Everyone enjoyed the experience. I woke up early this morning to give it a try. Looking at my collage fills me with joy. Who else wants to try it? Feel free to post your collages in the comments.

While I often help people with different issues, like anxiety, smoking, and weight loss, I have come to learn that trauma is often at the heart of these (and many other) problems. Starting tomorrow, you can watch a 9-part documentary on trauma, it's causes, effects, and how to heal. Read on, if you're interested., and be well!

Hay House partnered with Whole TV to release a 9-part docuseries called Trauma: Your Story Is the Cornerstone of Your Healing.

In this life-changing series, over 55 healing experts come together to show you how to recognize, face, and heal from your trauma ... so you can finally reclaim your life.

Trauma starts this Thursday, February 11, and is FREE to watch. You will not want to miss it! You can sign up by following this link:
https://trauma.whole.tv/trailer/?uuid=1b035644ae684bb0885954e7affc184c&afid=31&oid=7

The Trauma docuseries approaches trauma from different perspectives, like:

Triggering Trauma: Including how trauma is triggered and the physiological ways trauma impacts your physical body.
Emotional Trauma: Including how to reframe being a victim, end trauma-response behavioral patterns, and use the four pillars of trauma healing.
Physical Trauma: Including how your thoughts affect your healing, how your nervous system signals you’ve had trauma, and how to recognize and stop cycles of abusee.
Societal Trauma: Including why many social movements today are actually rooted in trauma responses and how to use homeopathic methods to locate trauma in your body.
Identifying Your Trauma: Including the powerful sign that your brain is traumatized, how to get around the “survival circuitry” that blocks healing, and the five stages of healing from betrayal.

If you want to learn more about the impact trauma may be having on your life and community, and how you can release the past and find freedom, I recommend watching this powerful docuseries. It could help you better understand yourself and your loved ones who have experienced a traumatic event in their lives.

Nick Polizzi and Dr. Pedram Shojai are about to release their latest and most urgent nine-part docuseries, all about recognizing our own trauma – emotional, physical, and societal.

The Power of Peace!

I have come to the realization that I have been neglecting a very important piece in my own personal development...financial freedom. Therefore, I have made a sizeable investment in my own financial education so that I can learn to successfully trade the financial markets. It has been a heady weekend of charts, covered calls and Stochastics, but I'm excited to see where this road will lead. Somehow, I think the wisdom I gain from this venture will make its way into my healing practice, once I can figure it all out. After all, one of my teachers always said that a true healer is one who walks excellently in both worlds: the spiritual world and the material world. I look forward to further growth in both worlds. And so it is!

If you don't listen to anything else I post this year, listen to this. Connection is the key to sobriety, sanity, and happiness.

What really causes addiction -- to everything from co***ne to smart-phones? And how can we overcome it? Johann Hari has seen our current methods fail firsthand, as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions. He started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do -- and if there m…

Amazing to watch! Handwriting really is so important in helping thoughts to flow. It allows us to access deeper parts of our subconscious than printing or typing. If the schools don't do it, please teach your kids how to write in cursive.

It's amazing the powerful shift that happens in students of all ages when they finally learn how to study and retain information in their own learning style. I have had clients in their 50s and 60s never go to college (even though they wanted to) because their test anxiety was so bad. Nine times out of 10 the answer was simple...testing their learning style and teaching them how to learn, ask questions, and study in their style. Unfortunately most schools don't do this. If you know anyone who has test anxiety or anyone who has trouble learning, focusing or studying, please call me at 480-560-2691 for a free learning style assessment. It could really change their life!

Do you agree with Michael J?

Getting ready to start an art therapy group in February. Who wants their spirit to soar with us?

So I have been really having fun exploring art and art therapy lately. What issues/conditions would you love to release through art? I'm planning on forming an art therapy group that meets regularly, but art can help with so many different issues. I'd love to hear your feedback on what you'd like to see me offer first. Please send me a private message if you don't want to post here. Thanks! :)
