… Dr. Ruth Buczynski, that is (so, relax...that's her at left). A peak inside the minds of cutting-edge psychotherapists on how to really heal trauma is in her latest blog today.
She says their latest “Aha” is that “talk therapy” can’t always cut it — we need body work and other alternative “somatic” therapies such as Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Stephen Porges, and Dr. Bruce Perry are delivering, as I’ve written for months. And yes, she’s selling (low cost) a new webinar series starting Oct. 15 on precisely this. Which we can also watch and hear for free, no strings, on day of broadcast. And no, I’m not getting a cent for posting her link; she doesn't even know I'm doing this yet (detailed links at bottom of my post here).
Why? Hey, that story I always tell of how I clicked the wrong link in a friend’s email and ended up on a brain science website that saved my life? That was Dr. Buczynski’s March 2011 webinar, “The New Brain Science Series – Barrier-Breaking Interviews with the Experts.” [FN1]
And she, and they, did save my life, and I do hope you check this out.
We can watch or listen free in real time (schedule below). Her free broadcasts reach many more than can afford subscription (to me, an insanely reasonable fee, considering what I got out of it). I’m only sorry you may have missed Dr. Porges’ Oct. 15 opening webinar by the time you see this, but transcripts, video, and mp3s of him and all the webinars are in a subscription....
