Episode 6: Tapping, Embodied Healing Practices, and The Value of Re-Membering | Damon Silas    “We are whole mind, body, soul beings. And so to just do therapy with the frontal part of the brain is doing the rest of the body a disservice. It's doing the rest of your healing process a disservice. And not saying that for some people, traditional talk therapy might be their thing--and I love it for you--and our bodies hold so much valuable information as well, and I think it's important to acknowledge the messages that our bodies hold too.” -Damon Silas   Join us for the sixth episode of The Lesson is Love, as I speak with Damon Silas, a clinical psychologist, published author (From Mourning to Knight: Overcoming Loss and What's Your ACTION Plan? 6 Powerful Ways to Get Unstuck In Your Life Now), speaker and teacher.   In this episode we talk about what brings us joy, the importance of exploring the role our bodies play in healing, honoring our somatic experiences and integrating body connection into our healing and therapeutic practices, and the power of re-membering--learning (and teaching) new ways of navigating harm, healing and relating in self and collective community. Damon also leads us through a guided tapping session!  About the Host, Grisha Stewart:  Grisha Stewart is an author, international speaker, dog trainer, and online dog school facilitator based in Oregon, USA, who specializes in dog reactivity and canine empowerment.

Dr. Damon A. Silas grew up in a military family so even though he was born in Massachusetts, he was only there for a short while before his dad received orders to move to California. Dr. Silas recalls that he grew up a lot in Oklahoma and moved back and forth between Oklahoma and Massachusetts as well as California. In this podcast interview, Dr. Silas shares what sparked his interest in psychology, his academic journey, and why he wrote “From Mourning to Knight: Overcoming Loss.” He also discusses Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or Tapping as well as the role of hypnosis in therapy. Throughout the interview, Dr. Silas provides helpful advice to those interested in starting a career in psychology and specific advice to those wanting to open their own practice. Based on my research and interview with Dr. Damon Silas, another appropriate title of this podcast interview could be “Clinical Psychologist on the Move.” Dr. Silas has been on the move in some way, shape, and form ever since he was a little kid. One of the ways he has been on the move is physically. Dr. Silas has physically moved many times due to the fact that his father, Ernest “T” Silas, was a member of the United States Air Force (USAF) and would receive orders to move to another base or installation. He has also physically moved multiple times as a grown up and is currently in Germany serving as a Military and Family Life Counselor. Dr. Silas is constantly moving his academic and educational experiences forward by exploring new ways and techniques to offer help to his clients and patients. He is licensed in NC, DC, and MD and has his own practice in NC “Damon Silas Psychology – Energy Psychology and Mindfulness Therapy.” He is an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Member and a National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH) Member since 2016. At one point during our discussion, Dr. Silas said that his dad was “always a student” and “was always studying” so it came as no surprise to me that “Dr. D.”, as his clients know him, is also constantly learning and challenging himself. His most recent book “What's Your Action Plan? 6 Powerful Ways to Get Unstuck in Your Life Now!” is designed to help people get back on track and get out of a “rut” in life. Dr. Silas experienced significant events that were emotionally moving so much so that he started writing “From Mourning to Knight: Overcoming Loss” as a journal entry after his dad passed away from Alzheimer's related complications. He learned many things from his dad including the need to document your significant emotional events, those times that really stood out to you as important parts and pieces of your evolution and your growth. He also recognized the importance of therapy for himself while he had to deal with grief and loss in his own life. Dr. D loves connecting with his patients, especially the kids. He said “they crack me up daily” and “I wear a mask so a lot of times they can't see me crack up.” When working with his clients, he believes “we should all be learning and growing together” as he is not necessarily the expert, rather, he is a guide. Dr. Silas discusses the freedom afforded to him with his degree in psychology as it allows him the ability to move his schedule, move his focus, and the freedom to create and be a part of real powerful movements. He is the co-founder of Black Tappers United which is “a collective of Black EFT Tapping practitioners whose goal it is to bring tapping to the black community in a safe, affordable and effective way.” Dr. D is also on the move as a professional dancer and uses his skills as a co-developer and co-facilitator of Movement Genius where he also hosts “Daily Resets with Dr. Damon” and “Open Movement Workshops” which help people improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being. You can also watch him move and get his groove on by viewing his Mid Day Dance Break on TikTok. Connect with Dr. Damon A. Silas: Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | YouTube | Instagra...

We all know that life is uncertain and many things are beyond our control, but that doesn't mean we like it. The flare-based nature of autoimmune disease embodies uncertainty. When will the next flare come? Can it be prevented? How can I love my body when it's so unpredictable? That's health uncertainty, but there are other types of uncertainty as well – economic, political, societal. During the pandemic, we've been faced with all of these things at once. Now, it's 2021, and there's a new type of uncertainty as we approach the world opening up again. How do we balance enjoying new freedoms while continuing to make safe decisions? How do we move forward in an uncertain world? My guest is Dr. Damon Silas, a psychologist who specializes in anxiety, grief and trauma. He'll be sharing techniques for staying grounded when the world around us shifts.

If you’re like most of us, you have a constant dialogue running through your mind. That inner voice, which is often unconscious, is entirely normal.What is yours saying to you? Is saying you are not enough?Is anxiety holding you back from simple daily activities, like driving? Are you paralyzed by fear when it comes to leveling up in work or even starting a new business venture? Confused about how to stop deactivating your abundance mindset? Has the pandemic caused you to feel immobilized or less productive? The way you think impacts how you see yourself, and the world in general. It’s normal to feel bad about yourself from time to time, but you may not even notice your negative thoughts because they have been part of you for so long. EFT aka “tapping” can help you break the habit of automatically thinking the worst in every situation.

Join me in this podcast episode where we take a deep dive into the second part of the “N” of the ACTION Plan. This one is all about the power of forgiveness and acceptance.

Join me in this solo-episode where I take a deep dive into the 'O' of the ACTION Plan. This one is all about opening up to others and practicing vulnerability. While it can be scary and full of fear, it's also a practice in connecting with others on a deep and authentic level, well worth the risk. Do yourself a favor and begin to practice sharing a little bit more with others. I can almost guarantee you will receive a gift in the form of them opening up to you as well.

Join me in this solo, minisode where I take a deep dive into the 'I' of the ACTION Plan, which is all about doing that tough and sometimes dirty work of introspection. While it may be tough and challenging to do this work, it certainly can be rewarding in the long run, not to mention it can lead to some powerful internal changes. In this episode, I ask you various questions that can lead you to think about how you've been operating, and where you can start to make changes to help you work through your loss and stuckness to get moving in a different direction.

Join me in today's solo-episode where I dive a little deeper into what the "A" of the ACTION Plan is all about. This episode was inspired by Jason Linett, hypnotist, author and podcaster of Work Smart Hypnosis (a recent podcast episode of his featured a look at a chapter of his new book, Work Smart Business - and no, I'm not getting paid by him to mention this!). We discuss what distinguishes an affirmation from an afformation, how therapy led me to learning the power of these afformations, and how to use these to powerfully work through your own losses. I also talk about the affirmations embedded in EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques (aka "Tapping"), and how the upcoming 11th Annual Tapping Summit can help you learn more about this amazing technique.

In October we're focusing on the mental & spiritual health of men, beginning with this incredible interview with Charlotte/Lake Norman-based Psychologist/Hypnotist/Author, Damon Silas, of Damon Silas Psychological and Consultation Services.Damon shares his own journey of overcoming horrific family loss, the murder of his beloved sister, as described in his memoir, From Mourning to Knight.
