In today's episode we are called upon to look within ourselves to discover both identity and healing. Our guest is the best-selling author, Dawson Church, PhD, who will talk about some of the specifics behind mental and spiritual healing. The discussion will focus a great deal on brain function and the healing process which occurs in the brain when coping with stress or trauma. How effectively we cope with this and how quickly can depend on a number of factors, and there are proactive exercises which we can engage in to achieve a higher state of well-being and develop greater resilience. Dr. Church is a major advocate of the EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) method which is a form of touch therapy that utilizes acupressure meridians in its administration. He will speak in depth about how this therapy can be an important treatment for a variety of concerns.
