This Paranormal Power Couple discusses contact with non-human intelligences in this episode. LaLa Bright and Bob McGwier are a couple who were thrown together by The Phenomenon. She is a Psychic Medium and Experiencer. He is a scientist and engineer with internationally recognized credentials. They will speak of their work together. LaLa's earliest paranormal recollection is of her finding her neighbor's grave in a Baltimore cemetery with thousands of graves by hearing the deceased neighbor calling her. This was age 5 and she couldn't read. Her father, a Reiki practitioner, experiencer, and energy worker recognized her instantly. She now speaks to the deceased for those who need it. She speaks to “aliens” for those who need it. She calls energy beings to her home daily and gets them to respond intelligently. Bob has outfitted their home with technology to enable LaLa's abilities to be documented and shown to the world. They are truly a power couple bonded first through Lala reading Bob's deceased mother, then business, then a close relationship and they now live together loving their new and exciting life. Bob served the US Intel community for 27 years as a scientist and was chief scientist of Hume Center for National Security and Technology at Virginia Tech for 11 years before I retired and did UFO/Paranormal as an avocation.

Grizzly On The Hunt - Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Cryptids, Paranormal, Aliens, UFO's and More!
https://grizzly.spiritsale.com LaLa Bright and Bob McGwier are a UFO/Paranormal Power couple who were thrown together by The Phenomenon. She is a Psychic Medium and Experiencer. He is a scientist and engineer with internationally recognized credentials. LaLa's earliest paranormal recollection is of her finding her neighbor's grave in a Baltimore cemetery with thousands of graves by hearing the deceased neighbor calling her.

Implant claims within the context of alien abductions have stirred heated debates among researchers and skeptics. Proponents argue that these alleged devices, often described as small metallic objects embedded in the bodies of abductees, provide physical proof of contact with extraterrestrial entities. However, the evidence supporting these claims remains contentious. Some purported implants have been surgically removed and analyzed, but the conclusions drawn from these examinations vary widely. Skeptics argue that many alleged implants are explainable by conventional medical conditions or natural occurrences. They suggest that the presence of these objects may be the result of fabrication, misinterpretation, or psychological factors. The phenomenon of alien abductions and claims of implanted devices have long fascinated and perplexed both believers and skeptics alike. Stories of individuals being taken against their will by extraterrestrial beings and the alleged presence of implants within their bodies have become prominent themes in UFO lore. This essay aims to delve into the complex and controversial realm of abductions, aliens, and implants, exploring the origins of these narratives, the evidence presented, and the various perspectives surrounding these intriguing phenomena. Alien abduction accounts have gained significant attention since the mid-20th century. While reports of abduction-like experiences can be found throughout history, it was during the 1960s and 1970s that these stories gained prominence in popular culture. Influenced by science fiction literature and media, individuals began coming forward with tales of being taken aboard spacecraft by otherworldly beings. These narratives often involve common elements such as missing time, medical examinations. https://grizzly.spiritsale.com #LegendaryMonster#CryptozoologyInvestigation #SasquatchSightings#BigfootResearch #CryptozoologyCommunity#WildernessExploration #BigfootEnthusiasts #BigfootEvidence#SasquatchHunters #UnexplainedPhenomena#MysteriousCreatures#ParanormalInvestigation #HiddeninNature #SasquatchHunter#LegendaryCreatures #BigfootLegend#CryptozoologyEnthusiasts #BigfootEncounters #CryptozoologyResearch #SasquatchCommunity#SearchforBigfoot @BigfootSightings @SasquatchHunter @CryptozoologyEnthusiast @WildmanSearch @ElusiveCreature@Yetilnvestigation @ForestExplorer @BigfootResearcher @MythicalBeastHunter @CryptidEnthusiast @BigfootLegend@HiddenInNature @Bigfoot Witness @SasquatchLore @CryptozoologyCommunity @MysteriousCreatures @Paranormalinvestigator @BigfootEnigma @CryptozoologyResearch @WildernessExplorer @BigfootEncounters @SasquatchHunter @CryptozoologyQuest @BigfootStories @SearchforSasquatch --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/support
In this episode, Keith talks about his unique experience of being deployed in Iraq with his wife, and after a roadside bomb (IED) attack, she struggled with PTSD. He discussed how after she received treatment through the military mental health system, which was retraumatizing, he started taking classes in Psychology and learned all he could about trauma, and together they worked through her PTSD. This lead him to go on to obtain a doctorate in psychology, and work with veterans and their families specializing in combat trauma and military sexual trauma. He explained that soldiers are trained to turn all of their vulnerable emotions into aggression, because that is what is needed to survive in battle, and this makes it difficult for soldiers to transition back into their family system and larger society. Additionally, in the military, they form strong bonds with their fellow soldiers, and between conditioning, the group think, and the experiences that the soldiers go through together, it makes some feel that no one else understands their struggle which leads to suffering alone. This creates a dual family systems paradigm, the differences between the military system's culture and the family's system's culture, leaving veteran's feeling disconnected from both families. He discussed the importance of connecting with the individual, being with their experience, and how this can be very hard for clinicians as working with veterans with trauma session after session can lead to vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue. He discussed his work with The Hume Center, with the chronically homeless population and working with severe mental illness, and how there is a great deal of intersectionality between homelessness and veterans. He discussed the importance of meeting the client where they are, and then finding what approaches might fit best for them, rather than using a top down approach such as trying to fit them into an evidence based scripted protocol. We discussed a rather successful program for Veterans in Oakland at the Oakland Vet Center, where staff had been working there for many years, as opposed to other programs where there is high turnover both in clients and in clinicians. One of the aspects that seemed to make it successful was the connections built through the community of clients. He discussed how clients who had been doing group work there would come to his PTSD 101 workshops just to see their friends. We discussed how engagement, whether with the clinician, or the community of clients was so significant in engagement for mental health services. Keith Bonnes, Psy.D. is a clinical psychologist and an Air Force (deployed Army) blue to green veteran of the Iraq war. Keith has worked extensively with veterans and their families and now works at The Hume Center in the San Francisco Bay Area East Bay https://www.humecenter.org, which as a Non-profit provides a range of community based treatments including full service partnership with homeless individuals, outpatient services and partial hospitalization programs and many other community based services and programs. He is also a trainer with The Hume Center working to help develop the clinical skills of early career clinical trainees and provide an exceptional training experience as a behavioral training center. He works from a humanistic, client centered, phenomenological approach, meeting the client where they are, and connecting with their experience, and then integrating modalities of treatment and interventions to fit for the clients perspective of the world. Keith uses Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a building principal along with cultural humility in his work with clients to ensure a holistic approach to the clients experience is considered.

For more information on the Rhetoric Society of America's Andrea A. Lunsford Diversity Fund, which is discussed in the introduction to this episode, click here. This episode of Rhetoricity features an interview with Andrea Lunsford, interviewed by Ben Harley as part of the Rhetoric Society of America Oral History Initiative. Over the past year and a half, Rhetoricity host and producer Eric Detweiler has been coordinating that initiative. At its 2018 conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Rhetoric Society of America (RSA) celebrated its 50th anniversary. As a part of that celebration, the organization sponsored the Oral History Initiative, which recorded interviews with 25 of RSA’s long-time members and leaders. In those interviews, they discuss their involvement in key moments in the organization’s history, the broader history of rhetoric as a discipline, and their expectations and hopes for the field’s future. Since then, Eric has been working with Elizabeth McGhee Williams, a doctoral student at Middle Tennessee State University, to transcribe and create a digital archive of those interviews. The two of them wrote an article about the materials that just came out in Rhetoric Society Quarterly. And the archive of the interviews and transcripts themselves is now available for you to peruse. To help promote that project, this episode features Lunsford's interview from the RSA Oral History Initiative. Dr. Lunsford is the Louise Hewlett Nixon Professor of English, Emerita, at Stanford University. She was the Director of Stanford’s Program in Writing and Rhetoric from 2000 to 2013 and the founder of Stanford’s Hume Center for Writing and Speaking. Dr. Lunsford also developed undergraduate and graduate writing programs at the University of British Columbia and at The Ohio State University, where she founded The Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing. She’s designed and taught courses in writing history and theory, feminist rhetorics, literacy studies, and women’s writing and is the editor, author, or co-author of 23 books. Those books include Essays on Classical Rhetoric and Modern Discourse; Singular Texts/Plural Authors; Reclaiming Rhetorica; Everything’s an Argument; The Everyday Writer; and Everyone’s an Author. She’s won awards including the Modern Language Association’s Mina Shaughnessy Prize, the Conference on College Composition and Communication award for best article, which she's won twice, and the CCCC Exemplar Award. A long-time member of the Bread Loaf School of English faculty, she is currently co-editing The Norton Anthology of Rhetoric and Writing and working on a new textbook called Let’s Talk. Ben Harley, her interviewer, is an assistant professor in the Department of Languages, Literature, and Communication Studies at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. His classes provide students with high-impact writing situations that let them compose useful and interesting texts for their own communities, and his research focuses on pedagogy, sound, and the ways that everyday texts impact the public sphere. He’s published work in The Journal of Multimodal Rhetorics, Present Tense, and Hybrid Pedagogy. The transition music after this episode's introduction is "Creative Writing" by Chad Crouch.
