Our economy is crippling due to violence, discrimination and unfair justice  through many political practices. Many issues can be resolved with unity because color and gender are detrimental factors in evolution, we as people must learn the systemic design and creation of division. Making the world great again with understanding the systemic manipulations created for division is the beginning phase for change. Facts will reveal the economy built for separation to control our outcome. Maurice maximized his time by furthering his education and double majored in psychology and theology to find out why we, as a black people, have been targeted and brainwashed to have a black inferior complex that we have collectively been groomed to accept and live by. Maurice began to change his life from a gangster being feared in the streets and prison, and his own brainwashing to becoming humble in a world where humbleness is conceived to be a sign of weakness. Living by examples he never had was now the focus.Maurice began to assist with putting on plays for ‘scared straight' in prison, learned and taught “Anger Management” and “Don't Sweat the Small Stuff,” along with receiving certification from the Chemical Dependency board as a Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant (CDCA), became a certified mental health specialist and several other programs to assist in changing the mindset that we have been groomed to have which causes us to act as we do. Maurice studied business management and copyrighted several businesses from 1997-2000, including COLLECTIVE MINDS, LLC. Collective Minds, LLC. was born from the passion Marbury has overall for black people. Maurice came home from prison October 12, 2004 with a mind that was changed and ready for society. Maurice realized that he could change his learned thought process to one that allows him to make better decisions in life and knowing it can do the same for others. Maurice formulated the plan for Collective Minds LLC., while in prison but began to apply it as a business in 2015 based on the attributable foundations: “Cultural Awareness, Education, Economic Development, and Empowerment” of US that we as a black people need to acknowledge and digest in order to stop being divided, and to become a united people, COLLECTIVELY.Visit our Instagram at:IG: @financial_legacy_leaYou can reach us at:Email: president@aleashelpinghand.visionTo learn more, visit:http://www.aleashelpinghand.vision/Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/lea-smith

Guest Anna Lembke is a psychiatrist and a specialist in the behavioral sciences who studies addiction. While there is tremendous variety in the things people can be addicted to, all forms are tied to dopamine, a biochemical that is key to human senses of pleasure, reward, and motivation. She says that new treatments are combining traditional abstinence with programs that help patients reenergize dopamine centers in the brain through physical exercise, which is a known producer of dopamine. If patients can reach 30 days of abstinence there is a good chance at recovery, Lembke tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Episode Reference Links:Anna Lembke's Stanford ProfileAnna Lembke's WebsiteHow do we fight the disease of addiction?

Millions of lives are lost to addiction every year, causing more direct and indirect deaths than any other illness. In a world where many things are uncertain, we do know this: There are many kinds of addiction, and in spite of treatment and everything else we re doing, addiction is only increasing. Dr. Donna Marks, a renowned psychotherapist, addictions counselor, and teacher of A Course in Miracles for more than thirty years, merges her professional experience and her own personal history of addictions to offer a single revolutionary solution to all addictions in this expanded and revised edition of Exit the Maze. No matter what someone is addicted to alcohol, prescription or illegal drugs, smoking, working, gambling, and so forth loving yourself is the key to recovery. This doesn t mean the road is easy or a few acts of self-care will do the trick; the journey to true self-love includes delving deep into your past trauma to understand where your addiction began, addressing those fear-based traumas with compassion and forgiveness. Marks believes every addiction is a substitute for love. She teaches people how to replace addiction with love and they lose any interest in self-destructive behavior. Allow love to guide you through the maze of addiction and back to living your best life. https://www.facebook.com/transformationtalkradio/live_videos/

Today on How We Can Heal Podcast, Lisa Danylchuk talks to Dr. Rosita Cortizo about her approach to helping women and moms heal internally through simple and subtle ways. For Dr. Rosita, a mother must know how to take care of herself. And that covers all aspects of well-being. But how can one mom start when there's just so much asked for from mothers? Dr. Rosita shares how volunteer work opened her to her current field of specialty, how trauma affects motherhood and womanhood, and why it's all-important for everyone to learn about how they got into this world. Mothers – what place do you have in this world?                                                         Even with the current generation's awakening to more open discussions on mental health, it's surprising to see how most people are still very unfamiliar with anything that has to do with therapy. No matter how necessary, some say, therapy is still very inaccessible for some. And mothers are not alien to the issue. For Dr. Rosita, economic concerns are one of the leading factors; a mother's responsibilities are number two. In her experience, Dr. Rosita cites a straight entry point that can change how moms look at therapy as a whole: it's through education. Moms need to understand that it's essential to feel good about themselves. How a mother feels will impact how others feel in her care. Dr. Rosita teaches moms that they are the 'queens' of their bodies and children. If a mother doesn't feel good about herself, she cannot teach her children how they can feel good about themselves—let alone self-care and self-love. About Dr. Rosita Cortizo:Rosita Cortizo, originally from Panama City, Panama, in South America, currently works as a high-risk, multicultural, bilingual prenatal and perinatal clinical psychologist for women's health services working with female adults and children.  Dr. Cortizo has worked in Public Health in Southern California with pregnant women at high risk with multiple diagnoses, traumatic stress, dissociative processes, and relational crisis for more than 30 years.  She holds licenses as both clinical psychologist (2001) and marriage family therapist (1998); and earned a Master of Arts in Psychology with a specialty in Chemical Dependency (1993) in San Diego, California. She is EMDRIA Certified, an Approved EMDR Consultant, and the 2021 ISSTD President. Outline of the episode:●     [02:58] What volunteer work opened Dr. Rosita Cortizo to●     [05:33] I wanted to see how far my volunteer work would go●     [10:10]Treating trauma in public health was nothing like in the textbooks●     [15:00] Birth is a painful conversation!●     [20:29] In what avenue does Dr. Rosita Cortizo begin to work on a mother's interpersonal healing●     [25:56] Moms need to learn self-soothing so their children can learn it too●     [31:02] Why it definitely helps to get to know your patients more personally●     [35:30] Compare then despair●     [44:03] It's who, not how!●     [50:35] Dr. Rosita Cortizo – I want to be a hand for all moms!Website:  http://www.rositacortizo.com/More Resources:  https://howwecanheal.com/prioritizing-trauma-healing-for-pregnant-women-with-doctor-rosita-cortizo/

Our Addictive Culture, Chemical Use & Misuse & the Magical Host, the Human Brain & Body Pt I Bringing Light Into Darkness (BLID) has done a couple of shows over the last 18 years on the air that are connected to addiction and substance/chemical use misuse health issues. However, our interest here is to pivot to a series of shows we will be producing around a topic we feel touches on one of our society's greatest health issues, namely those around drinking and drugging (chemical use) and the potential of developing problematic or chemically dependent substance abuse health issues (chemical misuse). We introduce Patricia Bucko, a college graduate who majored in neuroscience, who joins us as our guest host to initiate and navigate us through a series of BLID shows connected to its theme “Our Addictive Culture, Chemical Use & Misuse & the Magical Host the Human Brain & Body.” Our first show in the series will include: 1. establishing that we have legitimate expertise in these areas 2. assessment recommendation experience of thousands of DWI offenders and other alcohol and other drug (AOD) related offenders, leading to the patent submission and ultimate approval by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) of the assessment invention “A Method for Assessing the Severity of Non-Addictive and Addictive Psychoactive Chemical Relationships” - the case management and referral side of that connected experience 3. The nature and connectedness of ‘addictive culture' 4. We will present a state-of-the-art Chemical Dependency Model of understanding in order that listeners can develop a high-level understanding “What is ‘Chemical Dependency” and what signs and symptoms help describe the disorder.

However, our interest here is to pivot to a series of shows we will be producing around a topic we feel touches on one of our society's greatest health issues, namely those around drinking and drugging (chemical use) and the potential of developing problematic or chemically dependent substance abuse health issues (chemical misuse). We introduce Patricia Bucko, a college graduate who majored in neuroscience, who joins us as our guest host to initiate and navigate us through a series of BLID shows connected to its theme “Our Addictive Culture, Chemical Use & Misuse & the Magical Host the Human Brain & Body.” Our first show in the series will include: 1. establishing that we have legitimate expertise in these areas 2. assessment recommendation experience of thousands of DWI offenders and other alcohol and other drug (AOD) related offenders, leading to the patent submission and ultimate approval by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) of the assessment invention “A Method for Assessing the Severity of Non-Addictive and Addictive Psychoactive Chemical Relationships” - the case management and referral side of that connected experience 3. The nature and connectedness of ‘addictive culture' 4. We will present a state-of-the-art Chemical Dependency Model of understanding in order that listeners can develop a high-level understanding “What is ‘Chemical Dependency” and what signs and symptoms help describe the disorder.

Did you know that Americans have a chemical dependency problem? And I am not referring to drugs, alcohol, marijuana, or prescription substances. Yet this chemical dependency is a very open and social thing. In fact, it is openly promoted, bragged about, and actually makes you fit in better with the neighbors. Then we depend on those chemicals in order to make our lives function properly. We are even told it is the right thing to do. Then we use 71 million pounds per year of these chemicals and willingly destroy one of the most valuable untapped resources that we have.Listen to this episode to find out how to cure the chemical dependency that is so common place that it is often overlooked and completely ignored.

A true servant leader stands up for those who may not have a strong enough voice to stand up for themselves. In an inspiring episode with Shireen Janti, Sr. Director of MusiCares and a licensed counselor for 30 years, we talk about what it means to be gifted, overcome addiction and recovery, being a person of service, and becoming a true leader with boundaries.    Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️  We all struggle in some way internally. As a woman in recovery from alcoholism and addiction and 32 years sober, Shireen shares how putting out her story has helped many men and women win in life. "Being a leader is not only having the courage to share my story, regardless of what it may sound or look like, irrespective of what you may think or judge me about me. Learning how to be a leader is being secure and strong with your decisions, even if you're unsure. But it feels right; you do it anyway. And then there may be a lesson in that."    ✔️ MusiCares tirelessly work as "The Red Cross for the music community." Everyone affiliated with music faces economic and mental challenges due to the coronavirus crisis. "Many people aren't necessarily alcoholics or addicts, but they started drinking more or taking three prescription pills more, or it's gotten out of control where they need help to get back into alignment with themselves. We are there for them."   ✔️ There are ways that you can serve others without getting lost. Take care of your boundaries because you don't want to get stressed and burned out because that doesn't work. You teach people how to treat you, and you get the behavior you tolerate, so learn how to say NO and be OK with that.   ✔️'Who am I, and what do I stand for?' Sometimes we need to be asked to really think that through and remember we all are worthy and that we all matter, regardless of where we came from, what we've done, and what mistakes we made.    Shireen Janti has been a force in the field of Chemical Dependency for over 32 years. Her credentials include obtaining her (LAADC) Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, (CRPS) Certified Relapse Prevention Specialist, and her certification as a Professional Life Coach.    Shireen joined the MusiCares team in 2004, which is the charitable arm of the Recording Academy, otherwise known as the GRAMMYS. She started in the role of an Addiction Recovery Specialist. With hard work, commitment, and tenacity, she moved up the ranks into the title of Senior Director, which she proudly holds today. Shireen manages and facilitates all facets and services that MusiCares provides, including health and human services, addiction recovery assessment, referral, and case management.    Shireen has received awards such as the "Gratitude for Giving"-Sierra Tucson 2010, "Distinguished Service In the Field Of Recovery"-Promises Foundation Miriam's House Polo in the Palisades 2016, the "Visionary Award" at the CCAPP Convention 2016, and the WAAT Woman's Association of Addiction Treatment (Victoria Smart) Award in 2019.   Connect with Shireen on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shireen-janti-51435737/  and visit their website at musicares.org   How to Connect with Dianne A.

You don't have to be an alcoholic. You don't have to be an addict. The truth is, any one of us can have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol or drugs (whether legal or not). But how can we tell? How does one avoid crossing the line from moderation into excess? How does one determine when a permissible thing has become a necessary thing that we can't live without, and more importantly, which then robs us of the real rest we can only find in Jesus? #escape #realrest

 Marijuana - it's being legalized for medical and recreational use more and more, on a state-by-state basis. But for people diagnosed with schizophrenia, there are concerns. Does it “cause” or trigger schizophrenia ? Or is it's use just a result/symptom of the illness as it helps some with the brain confusion?Well, the jury is still out on that question...but, we have a spirited discussion and more with  our Guest: Dr. George Realmuto, Child Psychiatrist (University of Minnesota, emeritus).We also ask:Some who use after diagnosis say it helps with symptoms, and they need fewer meds. Others say it makes things worse. Any studies?.legalization.... good or bad? For potential addicts, for those of us with SZ in our families? Decriminalization issues. Should prevention be included in bills?1. From a scientific perspective, what happens to the developing brain when marijuana is used?  2. If a young person did not have the genetics that could later cause schizophrenia, could marijuana use still cause psychosis and later schizophrenia? 3 How are the stronger new strains of pot different from the old stuff? 4. What is the chemistry of THC that is so bad for people with schizophrenia. 5. For those who use marijuana and then develop schizophrenia, is their schizophrenia worse than if they had not used marijuana? Examples? 6. Since you are a child psychiatrist, what things can families and schools do to prevent young people from using drugs and later developing mental illness? What are early indicators that such prevention is needed? 7. Once a person is using drugs and has schizophrenia, what can best help them? Is there any progress in MICD (Mental Illness with Chemical Dependency)  treatments? 8. What do you have to say about parents who are told they are "enabling?" 9. Does the media (movies, TV, etc) glamourize marijuana use and what should we teach our kids? 10. Where have we made the most progress so we can have some hope for the future?

In many families, children take on different roles.  In chemically dependent families, there is actually a well structured model the shows us the types of roles a child takes on.  Each has their characteristics, talents and downfalls.  They each even have an invisible function they provide for the family, but it won't be noticed until much later when individuals within the family begin to heal.The Roles are:Chief Enabler (usually the other adult, but can be the eldest child if there is no second adult)Family Hero (usually the oldest child)Lost Child (usually a middle child)Mascot (usually the youngest)Scapegoat (usually a middle child)You can take on elements of several Roles.  This is especially significant as the family structure goes through changes as families age up or it's structure changes.  A child may inadvertently step into a new role when someone moves out, gets pregnant or if the parents get divorced.  What role did you feel most affinity towards? Contact Me or Consume My Stuff Here:Make this year the year you leave codependent behavior, people pleasing and being a doormat behind!  Join other motivated women in The People Pleaser Recovery Roadmap.  Vanessa is scheduling Curiosity Calls right now to help you find out if this is the right choice for you!  If you want to have a strong voice, give yourself all the love you need and live your dream life (led by your values) then contact Vanessa today!Click here to set up a Curiosity Call (or DM me) to learn more about the People Pleaser Recovery Roadmap and get signed up to start April 2021!https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18953727&appointmentType=19164977Intuition Quiz:  www.EnlightenedBossLady.comInstagram:  @SoulAmplifiede-mail me about coaching, The People Pleaser Recovery Roadmap Course, or other questions:  Vanessa@soulamplified

E.M.D.R stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a gentle, non invasive therapy based on bilateral stimulation, (right, left), of the nervous system. It is often done through visual stimulation. However, E.M.D.R. is also effective by stimulating other parts of the body such as through hearing from right to left with sounds in headphones, or in the hands through tapping or hand held stimulators. E.M.D.R. helps to free trapped emotions in the nervous system due to past or present emotional experiences being withheld. These can range from traumatic to seemingly uneventful times in our lives, but continue to effect our reactions to current life experiences, even decades later. Generally speaking, six or more sessions are needed as the layers are removed and replaced with more positive feelings.

The “Welcome Home Project”http://www.tribaljustice.org/places/specialized-court-projects/re-entry-program/Port Gamble S'Klallam Reentry ProgramAwarded $1 Million from Department of JusticeMoney to be used to expand Tribe's “Human Dignity Model”of reentry into Kitsap County Jail system The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe's Reentry Program has been awarded a $1 million grant from the Department of Justice's Second Chance Adult Comprehensive Community-based Adult Reentry Grant  to expand their proven model into the Kitsap County Jail system. PGST is the only Tribe in the nation to be awarded money from this DOJ program during the current cycle. This money will be used over a three-year period in a government-to-government partnership in creating the infrastructure to implement a robust Reentry program within the Kitsap County Jail using the Tribe's successful “Human Dignity Model.” This includes the use of Risk & Needs Assessments, a critical tool that help Success Coaches create comprehensive and collaborative strategies as well as tailored support services with the goal of reducing recidivism, creating a Universal healing re-entry model, and creating a cultural shift with corrections. Since 2013, PGST's Reentry program has been helping Tribal members who have struggled with addiction and criminal justice issues reintegrate back to health and productivity. Unlike many reentry programs which tend to be punitive, focusing solely on avoiding re-arrest, PGST's model helps the client attain the basic life skills, training, and well-being necessary for community involvement. Program Manager Janel McFeat coined the term “Human Dignity Model” in describing PGST's program; that is having Success Coaches who work closely and develop a connection with clients as partners while addressing a broad array of risk and protective factors facing formerly incarcerated individuals, including addiction, trauma, and behavioral health. While this methodology is unique throughout much of the United States, PGST's Reentry's program is guided by global best practices established by the United Nations for the treatment of the incarcerated. This approach has offered impressive results: since the program's inception, PGST has reduced recidivism by 81 percent with their target population. “Reentry has helped illuminate an alternative way of thinking about how to support tribal members struggling with addiction and criminal justice issues in the community. Participants' success is a testament to the ways in which the Port Gamble S'Klallam community fosters personal resiliency and, in turn, advances the well-being of the community as a whole,” said Christine Barone, Director, PGST Court Services, which oversees the Reentry program. The success of PGST's Reentry program began catching the attention of other tribes as well as governments and law enforcement entities who are struggling with similar problems. Lt Penny Sapp, with the Kitsap County Sherriff's Department, recognized that PGST's model could help solve the “revolving door” of inmates coming through the county's jail system. “(In the Kitsap County jail), we want to see people get the help they need,” said Lt. Sapp. “We see them come in and out of the jail, and we want them to understand why they keep coming back. We know it's because they commit crimes, but we want to get to the root of the problem.” PGST Reentry actually began working in the Kitsap County Jail in 2015 with funding from the DOC's Second Chance Adult Reentry Demonstration Grant. This small trial was such a success that the county encouraged PGST to find additional funds for an expansion that would include core elements like Risk & Needs Assessment, Trauma Informed Care, Resilience Training, Cognitive Science and other evidence-based techniques designed to get to the root of the issues causing people to reoffend. “It's a breath of fresh air to see people so dedicated to the mission of helping others reintegrate back into the community. They make connections and bring people together,” said Lt. Sapp. While Lt. Sapp expressed excitement for the forthcoming program expansion, she acknowledged challenges; namely, changing the mindset of staff to focus on positive outcomes versus punishment as well as the short-term nature of the jail system where the average length of stay is just 18 days. Unfortunately, in the current system, this isn't nearly enough time to identify corrective resources. These issues are currently being addressed and assessed during a planning phase before the full program is rolled out. Also a part of the partnership between PGST and Kitsap County is The Pacific Institute® (TPI). Based out of Seattle, TPI is global consultancy has been working in the field of cognitive and social science with an emphasis on mindset development for over 50 years. All agree that this approach to re-entry is a radical, requiring a cognitive shift in how jail staff and leadership think about those in their charge. To this end, the program includes a number of tools—including restorative circles, peer mentoring, conflict resolution, and job training—to help foster relationships and get those in the program to begin to make real, substantive changes. Barone is impressed with the County's willingness to seek out new solutions to old problems. “(The launch of Reentry in the Kitsap jail system) is a big, collective endeavor with the ultimate goal to successfully reintegrate into the community,” said Barone. For Lt. Sapp, this introspection is worth the lives it could change: “While there will be some we can't help, many of the people we see come through the system are really good people who just need some help. They think no one cares about them. With this program, we can show them someone does care and that we're invested in their success.” The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe's Reentry Program has been recognized on the local, state, and national levels for its innovative approach in helping those struggling to break the cycle of addiction and criminal behavior become sober and reintegrate into society. Initially launched on the PGST  reservation, the program is now being used on some level by other tribes and in the Kitsap County jail system. The team behind the effort regularly present at national conferences, helping to engage others to think outside-the-box and introducing them to concepts such as trauma-informed care, connection-based services, and evidence-based practices. Their success in reducing recidivism within the PGST community points to how their “People First” approach can change lives and make communities safer. PGST Reentry staff have presented on the challenges and successes of the program to a number of thought leaders who have sought them out to learn more about their unique approach. This includes officials from the Department of Corrections and politicians, including, recently, Senator (D-WA) Patty Murray. About THE PORT GAMBLE S'KLALLAM TRIBEThe Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, originally known as the Nux Sklai Yem or Strong People, are descendants of the Salish people who have been well-established in the Puget Sound basin and surrounding areas since 2400 B.C.  In the late 1930s, the Port Gamble S'Klallam reservation, located on the northern tip of the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State, was established. Many of the Tribe's members, who total about twelve hundred, still live there today. For more information about the S'Klallam Tribe, please visit www.pgst.nsn.us. About THE PACIFIC INSTITUTE®The Pacific Institute® (TPI) is a global consultancy with over four decades of expertise in delivering customized solutions that empower organizations and individuals to improve performance and reach their full potential.

This session will explore some of the challenges resulting from the recent “Decade of Pain.” Clearly, the overuse of opioids and, to some extent, the solutions proposed to curtail the misuse of prescription drugs has led to a shift in how we diagnose and how we treat substance use disorders in this often challenging patient population. (Recorded at PAINWeek 2017)

The American Medical Association recognized alcohol dependence as a disease over 55 years ago. Alcohol dependence fits the disease model because it is a dysfunctional state with characteristic form. Use of some drugs, including alcohol, may cause dependency. The medical term for this dependency, or addiction, is Chemical Dependency. In order for a chemical to be addictive it must possess three properties. It must be: 1) mind altering or mood changing, 2) euphorigenic, and 3) reinforcing, that is taking the chemical stimulates taking more of the chemical. Kim, with 3 days since her last drink, shares her story   SHOW NOTES   [14:29] Paul Introduces Kim.  I am 43 years old, I have 2 kids, I am from Atlanta, I am a self-employed attorney.  I like to walk my dog, be out in nature, and exercise.  I come from a family of alcoholics.      [19:34] Paul- Did you ever put any rules into place?  Like not drinking before 5:00?  Tell us more about that.   Kim-  I did actually.  I switched to wine, I don’t know if that counts as moderating.  I did cut back on the heavy stuff.  I tried not drinking when I noticed the emotions were flooding.  For me it’s been the amount I have been drinking when I did drink.     [32:18] Paul- We are both one of the “lucky ones” How do you feel about that?   Kim-  The one thing I have that my family members don’t have is self-awareness.  They are in denial.  I feel very very lucky that I have been able to recognize what I am doing, and that it is a problem.  At the same time it is everywhere.  I see it everywhere.        [43:08] Rapid Fire Round What was your worst memory from drinking? Without a doubt it was that night.  It was the lowest I felt in my life.  I never want to be there again. Did you ever have an “oh-shit” moment? It was 3 days ago.  We were having fun, watching football.  The next thing I knew I had a beer in my hand.  What’s your plan moving forward?  Accountability is big.  Actually calling somebody, I can see where reaching out can help break the cycle. What’s your favorite resource in recovery?  Without a doubt it is the Café RE recovery group. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received (on sobriety)? When you are going through hell, don’t stop. What parting piece of guidance can you give listeners who are in recovery or thinking about quitting drinking?  Don’t beat yourself up.  It perpetuates in a negative way. You might be an alcoholic if... you actually enjoy being sick with a cold or the flu because it actually suppresses your desire to get a drink for a while.   Resources mentioned in this episode: This podcast episode is brought to you by Zip Recruiter.
