Native Americans in professional healing professions may creatively incorporate Native ways in their work, but the path is not easy.  The same is true for those coming from a Western background that realize there is something lacking in modern medicine and are attracted to Native ways of healing. Western and Native approaches to healing may seem incompatible—linear-mechanical, biological or genetic causes versus interdependent, community and natural world imbalances—but there is a way to integrate them, to see and walk in two worlds. Not easily and not without pushback perhaps, but there is a way. Our two guests, one Native, one non-Native, have both been powerfully influenced and transformed by Indigenous wisdom and also other ways of knowing and have done the work to integrate and implement a more holistic vision of medicine. Join us as we explore how to integrate healing traditions on the next Circle for Original Thinking podcast.

Get inspired with Dr Randall and Lewis E. Mehl-Madrona! Lewis is the author of the Coyote trilogy. (Five books) His work discusses healing practices from Lakota, Cherokee and Cree traditions, and how they intersect with conventional medicine. Mehl-Madrona has been writing about the use of imagery and narrative in healing since the 1980s.  His focus arises out of a desire to celebrate indigenous culture, particularly that of North America, and to show how contemporary health care practices can be enriched through the inclusion of the ideas of indigenous culture into contemporary work.  He speaks about traditional healing, about how psychotherapy and medicine can be modified to include the insights of traditional healing.  He is interested in narrative medicine as a means for which storied indigenous practices enter contemporary medicine and psychology.  Also in dialogical self theory and therapy as a contemporary parallel to the self-theory of indigenous cultures.  He is interested in how we can train new doctors to be simultaneously humanistic, narrative, and evidence-based.Lewis graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine and trained in family medicine, psychiatry, and clinical psychology. He completed his residencies in family medicine and in psychiatry at the University of Vermont College of Medicine.  He has been on the faculties of several medical schools, most recently as associate professor of family medicine at the University of New England. He continues to work with aboriginal communities to develop uniquely aboriginal styles of healing and health care for use in those communities. He is interested in the relation of healing through dialogue in community and psychosis. He is the author of Coyote Medicine, Coyote Healing, and Coyote Wisdom, a trilogy of books on what Native culture has to offer the modern world.  He has also written Narrative Medicine, Healing the Mind through the Power of Story: the Promise of Narrative Psychiatry, and, his most recent book with Barbara Mainguy, Remapping Your Mind: the Neuroscience of Self-Transformation through Story.

Lewis Mehl-Madrona is a healer. He is a medical doctor, specializing in obstetrics, geriatrics, family medicine, and in psychiatry. He is also a storyteller, drawing on his indigenous heritage to create a breed of narrative medicine that is true Coyote. I have personally witnessed his magic as he accompanied a mother working through a traumatic event in her childbearing life: he guided her as she dissolved blame, so that she could proceed with true grief. Lewis and his wife Barbara Mainguy live in rural Maine, and while Lewis is not working as a physician, he and Barbara present workshops and classes on healing: https://www.mehl-madrona.com/upcoming-events/two-eyed-counseling-bringing-indigenous-approaches-to-improving-social-and-emotional-well-being  

In this episode I speak with author and physician Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona about how he brings storytelling and narrative into his healing processes. A teacher in many respects, Lewis believes that telling a story (or “sharing a case-study” in doctor talk), is the most effective way to teach. This conversation is helpful in shifting the way you look at your life and the stories you tell yourself that not only affect your neurological and mental health, but your physical health as well. What are the biological consequences of the stories that we tell ourselves? Can we rewrite our stories to better our lives? “We are the swarm of stories that surround our physical body.” - Lewis Mehl-Madrona Topics we cover include: Indiginous knowledge Narrative medicine The Power of Talking Circles Imagery & Narrative in Healing Issues of Psychology during Birthing Epigenetics vs. genetics in disease About our guest: Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD, graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine and trained in family medicine, psychiatry, and clinical psychology.

Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy say that we are born into a world of stories that quickly shape our behavior and development without our conscious awareness.

Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona, is a physician and executive director of the Coyote Institute for Studies of Change and Transformation. He is the author of several books and his newest book, co-authored with Barbara Mainguy, is entitled Remapping Your Mind - The Neuroscience of Self-Transformation through Story.

ConsciousSHIFT with Julie Ann Turner featuringSELF-TRANSFORMATION THROUGH STORY / BARBARA MAINGUY & LEWIS MEHL-MADRONAStory shapes our world - and reshaping our stories can positively transform how we experience our livesStories are the units of meaning-making that help us make sense of our world.And, as Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guests Barbara Mainguy and Lewis Mehl-Madrona - co-authors of REMAPPING YOUR MIND: The Neuroscience of Self-Transformation through Story - share with us, retelling your personal, family, and cultural stories can transform your life, your relationships, and your world.Where we may have been thrown into an unhappy or even hostile story, we have ways to remap and re-story our lives ... and through conscious story-telling, we may transform the inner and outer landscapes of our lives. We'll discover a road map - traced by neuroscience - through which we may view the inner landscape of our collective minds as the territory of stories we live by. We tell ourselves and others who we are, what motivates us, how we arrived where we are today, and what kinds of challenges we face in the stories we live by. As it turns out, stories are far from passive, inert influences in our lives; they can be every bit as dangerous as they are healing.The latest neuroscience research on memory, brain mapping, and brain plasticity confirms the power storyexerts on our lives and how we experience the world.Moreover, when we engage our stories consciously,we may experience transformation and transcendence by being able to story our life differently.Join Julie Ann, Barbara and Lewis, as we go on a gentle journey to discover our inner (and outer) storytellers - and learn how to negotiate with them, to form coalitions of healthier voices, to oppose the views of more negative voices .. and in this way influence our experience, and co-creation, of our world.

There are stories we have about ourselves that play in our head. Characters and plot lines that affect, and sometimes limit, our experience of self and our interactions with others. What if we could change those stories? How would that change our lives, our community, and our planet? ...
