Evolving Through Trauma, Shock and the Climate Crisis

 Evolving Through Trauma, Shock and the Climate Crisis

~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~

An unprecedented number of us have faced shock and trauma in recent times. Between the pandemic and resulting deaths, restrictions and lockdowns, social and political unrest, and the apparent effects of climate change, it’s no wonder we are reeling. Although what we’re being confronted with externally may be something we can do little about, there is much we can do about our interior landscape.

What is the neurological impact of shock and trauma? How can we mitigate its negative effects? Can we find the resilience to evolve through these trying times? How can we regain our stability in order to take positive action? Can traumatic events be used to aid our evolution?

With us this hour to help us better understand shock and trauma, its long lasting impact and how to deal with it, is Dr. Stephanie Mines. Dr. Mines is the author of five books that reflect over three decades of research as a neuroscientist. She has investigated shock and trauma as a survivor, a professional, a clinical researcher, and healthcare provider. Her nonprofit, The TARA Approach, is instrumental in the systemic change she promotes as a Sustainable Health paradigm. Dr. Mines also developed Climate Change & Consciousness to facilitate inner transformation for grounded climate action.

Supporting Health Through the Traumas of Our Times

 Supporting Health Through the Traumas of Our Times

~ Gwilda Wiyaka ~

Evolution, by its very nature, requires a departure from the status quo. Disruption of the norm results in chaos and upheaval. Upheaval is stressful and requires a certain amount of resilience to weather the transition from one structure to the next. I think we all can agree, 2020 has been a year of disruption and chaos.

The good news is the current disintegration of old, unwieldy structures is offering us an amazing opportunity to build something new and sustainable. The challenge is staying healthy on all levels, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, through the somewhat traumatic process.

With us this hour to explore ways we can support ourselves and our families through this unprecedented process is Marcelle Pick. Marcelle is passionate about transforming the way women experience healthcare through an integrative approach. She is co-founder of the renowned WOMEN TO WOMEN HEALTHCARE CENTER and one of the first to be certified as a Functional Medicine practitioner. She holds a BS in Nursing from the University of New Hampshire and an MS in Nursing from Boston College Harvard Medical School. Marcelle is the author of several books, including: “The Core Balance Diet, Is It Me or My Hormones” and “Is It Me or My Adrenals?”

The Evolutionary Power of Change and Disruption

 

Hello my visionary friends. Thank you for joining us on another exciting adventure into future possibilities. This is Mission: Evolution where we share innovative thoughts and information with today’s leading experts, bringing evolutionary solutions to today’s unique challenges.

In recent episodes, we have been doing a COVID-19 series, speaking to numerous experts who have shared an amazing amount of knowledge on the subject. To access that body of knowledge, visit our archives at missionevolution.org.

Now we are focusing on the brand new landscape in which we find ourselves, and the tools to help us move forward.

Your input is a very important part of these discussions. Email info@missionevolution.org with any comments or questions. We will address them on the very next show. So, sit back, take notes, and enjoy.

This hour we will consider:

The Evolutionary Power of Change and Disruption

Never is there a better opportunity to evolve than when we have been picked up by the ankles and had the change shaken out of our pockets. 2020 has done an excellent job of disrupting the status quo. While it’s tempting to wish for days gone by and a return to “normal,” the fact is we have been on a collision course with our own karma for quite a while. What we had considered as normal was simply not sustainable and now we are reaping the rewards of our folly.

So where do we go from here? How can we transmute this upheaval into something positive, beneficial and evolutionary?

With us this hour to investigate the possibilities of a positive shift is Rita Burgett-Martell. Rita is  a summa cum laude graduate of Belmont University in Nashville and the author of two books: “Change Ready! How to Turn Change Resistance into Change Readiness,” and “Defining Moments: Seizing the Power of Second Chances to Create the Life You Want.” The practical guidance Rita provides is based on her thirty years of professional experience as an organizational change consultant to Fortune 500 clients and career coach to more than 11,000 individuals.
