Using Adversity as a Catalyst for Change The Power of Healing Environments Reconnecting with the Inner Child and Authentic Self Using Adversity as a Catalyst for Change (08:15) Adversity often reveals truths that are hidden in the comfort of everyday life. This shift in focus led to a deeper understanding of personal worth and the realization that one must prioritize their well-being over toxic relationships. "It wasn't just about surviving; it was about finding a way to truly live." The Power of Healing Environments (20:45) The surroundings in which one lives and heals play a significant role in recovery and well-being. Emphasizing beauty and order in one's environment helps cultivate a mindset of peace and wellness. "Creating beauty in our environment helps to cultivate peace within." Reconnecting with the Inner Child and Authentic Self (35:30) True healing involves reconnecting with the authentic self and nurturing the inner child. By curating personal spaces that reflect one's true identity and childhood joys, individuals can foster a sense of wholeness and contentment. This practice allows for a deeper connection with one's core values and passions, encouraging a life lived in alignment with inner truths.

Just about everyone in the world has experienced something that can be characterized as a trauma. Humans are resilient, and most people recover on their own and function well. Some continue to be affected by trauma long after the fact, and it is not always easy to identify who that may be and how a history of adversity may impact our interactions. There is a difference between trauma-specific care (such as Cognitive Processing Therapy or Prolonged Exposure therapy) and trauma-informed care. Join us and our amazing guest, Dr. Lydia Bartholow, as we discuss trauma-informed care and how we can reorient from a “What's wrong with you?” to a “What happened to you?” approach and implement psychological “universal precautions” to transform our systems to acknowledge a history of adversity.Lydia Bartholow, DNP, PMHNP, CARN-AP, is a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in addiction medicine and trauma-informed care. She currently staffs and directs a trauma-informed urgent substance withdrawal management center. She is on faculty at UCSF, where she teaches in the psychiatric nurse practitioner program. She speaks nationally on topics such as co-occurring disorders, harm reduction, and substance use disorder care system improvement. She focuses all parts of her practice on radical public health, harm reduction, and anti-oppression work.

In Part 2 of "Healing Environments" we take a deeper look at how we can set ourselves up to create healing environments in our lives. With the awareness that we need to remove obstacles and move towards making more healthy choices, there is a new element we need to consider: Our thoughts. As much as we need to make adjusments to our physical environment, we also need to take stock of our inner thoughts and how they contribute to our health. Mindfulness is a core component of this. As we continue to add to our toolbox, what simple routines can you create to ensure you're filling your mind with positive, healing thoughts?

She became sustainable-minded when she and her husband started to study products in their household. They began to switch these products with green products that worked for them. Then, they leaned into their interior design and agriculture business. Susan and Tarik now make sure houses and rooms promote healing and inner peace for the spirit. “My husband and I started to gather all of the products in our home and started to replace them with green products. This was the beginning of my journey into that space.” - Susan El-Naggar   Early Sustainability Journey Susan begins by telling us how she wanted to be an interior design and create her own business. This love started at a young age when she went to art school and would create art. Susan would do everything by herself when her first business started and then she went to school for interior design.   Proudest Achievements Susan's greatest moment in her career was creating a project with her husband. This project was at a home, and the client wanted a healing spot for their household. Susan and her husband were able to tear down a master room and create a spa room. This was made with green products and natural products. They entered this in the American Society of Interior Design Illinois chapter and won first place. “We started to knock the room down all the way, and we could do whatever we wanted. All they wanted was a room like a spa retreat room. We were able to use green products, and it was one of the first times doing so.” - Susan El-Naggar   Book Recommendations Your Best Life Now by Joel Osteen   GBES Community: https://www.gbes.com/unlimited-leed-and-well-training-and-education/   Tune into this podcast to listen to the rest of Susan El-Naggar's journey in this podcast hosted by Charlie.   Connect with Susan El-Naggar: Linkedin   Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES: Charlie on LinkedIn Green Building Educational Services GBES on Twitter Connect on LinkedIn Like on Facebook Google+ GBES Pinterest Pins GBES on Instagram   GBES is excited our membership community is growing.  Consider joining our membership community as members are given access to some of the guests on the podcasts that you can ask project questions.

Hospitals are critical to the health of any city, providing essential care to the communities that they serve. Unlike many other buildings, hospitals can't simply close and send everyone away during an extreme event since it would be dangerous to the patients in need to critical care. In this month's episode, Stephen Elser interviews two leaders from the CannonDesign firm, whose work includes designing hospitals to be resilient to a wide variety of disturbances. We discuss what it means for a hospital to be resilient, the use of landscaping to create "healing environments", and the importance of tailoring a design strategy to meet specific needs. We also hear about their past work in Nantucket Island, Miami, Houston, and Manhattan and the types of design used in those cases.––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Mike Cavanaugh and Brett Farbstein are, respectively, the Directory of Sustainability and the Directory of Resiliency at CannonDesign.
