EP18 - Overcoming Medical PTSD From Your Chronic Illness Journey w/Dr. Kim D’Eramo, DO

Meet our fascinating podcast guest, Dr. Kim D’Eramo, DO, a Board-Certified Emergency Medicine Physician who embarked on a transformative journey from conventional medicine to a profound understanding of Mindbody medicine and spirituality. With an innate sensitivity and intuitive nature, Dr. Kim recognized the profound impact of thoughts and emotions on health early on.After years in the Emergency Room, attending to acute processes and disease states with a unique perspective, she courageously left her career to establish a practice focused on Mindbody techniques. Dr. Kim’s own battle with a mysterious illness during medical school became a turning point, leading to a deep realization about the power of perspective and self-nurturing. Through this profound shift tin mindset, she not only fully healed herself, but gained invaluable insights into the root causes of chronic pain and illness. In this episode we explore the transformative power of energy, consciousness, self-talk and awareness in regards to the realm of health and healing. In this episode we discuss Dr. Kim’s personal journey, what true surrender looks and feels like within the body and how to change our physical selves back from an over-reaction to a multitude of stimuli, foreign bodies, chemicals and pathogens, to a non-reactive, nurturing state, where we can be truly healed from the inside out. You will learn more about balancing emotional needs with physical needs and how not to buy into the doom and gloom of your own story. You will learn how to be truly heard by those in your circle and how to team up with your mind and body, bringing them back into true harmony and healing resilience. Dr. Kim is generous enough to take us through a tapping meditation to release fear, disease and lack, helping stuck energy regarding our chronic illness to finally move through the brain and body, to finally help us achieve freedom from the bondage of chronic pain and succumbing to being a victim of our individual personal circumstances. 

In this episode you will learn:

• Why fighting your illness and just “pushing through” never works. 

• How to feel sourced, heard by physicians and reside in your own power. 

• A tapping meditation and exercise to release pain and fear. 

• That complete healing from a lifelong sentence of chronic illness and pain is TRULY possible.
