Podcasts about licensed addiction counselor

Joining us today are two experts in the field of holistic health and recovery.  Andeea Rae is a Licensed Addiction Counselor and Quantum Health Coach, dedicated to helping people realign their lives by connecting with nature's rhythms. Laura Kissmann is a Quantum Nutritionist and fellow Quantum Health Coach, using the power of nutrition and biology to promote wellness.  Together, they host the Quantum Healthy Podcast with a mission to "Demystify Quantum Biology for Health and Recovery," aiming to heal both people and the planet. Today, they share with us the importance of natural light for mitochondrial health and overall wellness, the negative effects of non-native EMFs and blue light on circadian rhythms, sleep, and overall health, and they give some free, practical tips you can start today to begin improving your quantum health.   In this episode, you will hear:  Quantum biology is the intersection of quantum physics and biology. It is an emerging academic field that produces compelling evidence that quantum effects are taking place in human bodies. Do the simple things that get the biggest results. They will improve your life in every aspect. We need to balance the blue light we are using every day with natural, healthy light outside every single day. We are batteries made of water, charged by sunlight. Your light environment is key to your circadian rhythm.  Why you should open your windows or go outside to get sunlight and how a closed window is like blue light.  Most quantum things are free - start there. Even 30 seconds of direct sunlight during the day can help your body reorient itself in time.  Post-acute withdrawal syndrome has the same symptoms as blue light toxicity.   Episode Reference:  Life on the Edge by Johnjoe McFadden and Jim Al-Khalili: https://www.amazon.com//dp/0307986829  Institute of Applied Quantum Biology: https://www.iaqb.foundation/    Andeea Dugstad is a Licensed Addiction Counselor and Quantum Health Coach; Laura Kissmann is a Quantum Nutritionist and Quantum Health coach.

Our guest today in this revisited episode of Beyond the Balance Sheet is Stefan Bate, Chief Clinical Officer at Jaywalker Lodge. Stefan shares his mission as he helps men who have had previous treatment experiences. Stefan reflects on his own recovery journey and the blessings that he has experienced since graduating from Jaywalker and entering the field of psychology. Arden and Stefan discuss the spiritual and emotional elements of hitting rock bottom versus circumstantial consequences. They also dig into the perceptions faced by affluent families in treatment and how Stefan helps families set healthy expectations for treatment. IN THIS EPISODE:  [01:33] Stefan's outlook on his recovery and how recovery changed his career trajectory. [05:56] When Stefan finally hit rock bottom. [09:54] Triggering events that happen to people that push them to be all-in for recovery. [16:04] What's missing in the psychology field for affluent families? [22:23] What happens when a family lacks basic education about recovery and unrealistic expectations? [26:10] Stefan's advice to someone who is in an active addiction and considering recovery.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Oftentimes someone's rock bottom is not circumstantial or due to material consequences. It's really an emotional and spiritual rock bottom. Jaywalker Lodge offers niche treatment for men that have had multiple previous treatment attempts. Men are usually around the age of 28 and have been to three to seven previous treatment experiences. Often when you scratch the surface of entitlement it is really a learned helplessness and a deep set of shame beliefs. These men question their abilities and capabilities in the world and don't think that they're going to be able to take care of themselves.

Brenda Wollenberg is an author and educator. She combines her education and experience as a nutritionist, social worker, and co-pastor in her work as a body /mind /spirit wellness coach. Over the past five years, she has expanded her training and scope of practice to help her clients understand how genetics influences overall wellness. She has worked for decades using metabolic typing to inform food plans, exercise routines, and stress management tools.    With the added epigenetic component, however—examining how behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect genes' expression—she now works, 1-1 and in a group setting, to help clients explore clinically relevant and nutritionally actionable genes, and discover the ideal way to eat, supplement, move and calm for their genetic profile.    Brenda is the author of 'Overweight Kids in a Toothpick World', and 'Eat, Sleep Move: For Your Genetic Body Type. How to Physically and Emotionally Care for a Unique You'. She has had articles in Canadian Living, Mclean's, and Family Fun and has also created In Balance Wellness programs for children, teens, and adults. Most recently, along with co-creator Alicia Mazari-Anderson, a fellow nutritionist with a Ph.D. in biology, Brenda has developed Gene Reset Blueprint: A 12-Week Program for Personalized Optimal Health.    Brenda's decades of experience across a range of physical, emotional, and spiritual modalities, has enabled her to design a methodology that harnesses the power of genetics and epigenetics—the environment—to optimize good health.

In this powerful podcast, Aaron Bekkela talks about the difficult decision he made to leave a family business weighted with obligation and expectations to follow the pull of his heart strings. Being born into a family business that owned and operated several strip clubs, Aaron struggled with the addiction, darkness and pain that was ever-present in the industry and made the life changing decision to sell the business and see it come to life as a church and community resource center. How Aaron’s heart led him to obtain his degree and become a Licensed Addiction Counselor and Clinical Director of a teen residential treatment center serves as a testament to the power of making decisions that ultimately change the course of not one, but many lives.

She began teaching yoga in 1996 and immediately observed her students getting more physically fit in additional to improving their moods, mental abilities and overall have a positive impact on their lives. Karen worked as a therapist at a hospital in New York City, where she began incorporating a mind-body approach to treating individual's recovery from both mental illness and substance dependency. Karen continued her education earning her doctorate while continuing to teach yoga throughout the Denver Metro area and working as a therapist at a drug and alcohol treatment center and at a college-counseling center.  Karen's own personal journey coupled with her experience lead her to open Mindy Body Life Alchemy in 2014, a holistic wellness center, which represents a personal dream: to truly integrate these intertwining practices of mind and body therapies, and offer them together in a safe and beautiful space.

In our conversation we dive into many important topics relating to anxiety and depression, specifically in teens/tweens and how her studio offers amazing much needed services.  Karen dives into how our thoughts drive our emotions and behavior and what tools people can use to calm their mind.  These topics are even more relevant during times of crisis.  Karen has so much experience working with teens and tweens, which is such an important group that could really use more support to address the mind-body perspective. Karen shares how she works with the parents of teens/tweens to help them better understand their children, and their innate differences and most importantly equip them with the strategies and tools they need to help their child manage through their anxiety and depression. We also touch on Ayurveda, which is considered the sister science of yoga, that originated in India thousands of years ago.   Links to the dosha quiz we mention (there are several out there so we've included two options): Ayurveda body type dosha quiz Chopra Dosha Quiz If you are a parent, we highly recommend that you take the Dosha  quiz and have your kids do the same.

He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Vermont and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with a special focus on somatic/body psychology from Santa Barbara Graduate Institute.   Corey joins me today to discuss the aspect of integrity and doing the right thing when faced with difficult decisions. We discuss the difference between following what our bodies and hearts tell us to do versus following our thoughts. We explain how practicing mindfulness and self-inquiry can help you determine whether you’re making the right decisions based on your values and integrity and how these practices can help you be more in-tune with your spouse, partner, or others in your relationships. We also discuss how our past experiences shape the way we make decisions and influence our decisions on doing the right thing.   “When the right thing is done, it can turn into some of the most profound growth experiences in life.” - Corey Costanzo   This week on Relationships! Let’s Talk About It:   How volunteering at a men’s detention center has impacted Corey’s perspective on doing the right thing. How Corey knows when he has made a good decision that is in alignment with his values. How to use your body as a checks-and-balances resource to guide your decisions. How mindfulness, self-inquiry, and breathing practices help you make better decisions that are in alignment with your core values and integrity. Making good relational decisions versus simply compromising. How to balance understanding your partner’s reality and sharing your own perspective without being judgmental. Corey’s recent experience of planning his sister’s surprise birthday party and how he realized he was making decisions based on his preferences instead of what his sister would want. The importance of being disciplined to think beyond yourself when making decisions that will impact others. Rewarding children for showing empathy and claiming ownership of their mistakes. What it means for parents to set ‘hard-core boundaries’ for their children and why Corey believes there is a more effective way to teach children to do the right thing. How your unique experiences, personality, and character structure influences your decision-making skills. An effective strategy for rebuilding trust that has been broken in a relationship. How to identify if your behavior and actions are in alignment with the relational agreements you’ve made. How learning from your previous mistakes and poor decisions helps you make better decisions in the future.    Let’s Talk About It!   Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Relationships!

Shane is also involved in Psychotherapy as well as Sport and Performance Psychology and Psychedelic Integration Therapy. In this episode they cover a range of topics such as social work, Ketamine, sensory deprivation, psychedelic icons and the psychedelic culture. 3 Key Points: Shane has a podcast of his own, and his goal with the podcast is to bring people’s personal experiences to light to learn from them, to master the potential of our minds. Ketamine is a great gateway to opening up people’s minds to all of the other psychedelics. Its also a great place to start for therapy.

We need some assistance to show us what were avoiding in life and I think that psychedelics help with that a lot.” - Shane Sensory Deprivation Shane says he’s interested in John Lilly's work from back in the day and his terminology of being able to meta-program your human brain Joe says John Lilly was a big part of isolation chambers which led to float tanks Psychedelic Icons Joe mentions Robert Anton Wilson, he was good friends with Timothy Leary He had great critiques, great books and worked with Leary on the 8 levels of consciousness Joe suggests listeners to read The Illuminatus! Trilogy: The Eye in the Pyramid, The Golden Apple, Leviathan “My interest is not in psychedelics themselves, but psychedelics as a means to access higher states of who we are, parts we have forgotten.” - Shane Psychedelics are just one way to tap into ourselves and discover our ultimate potential “We should all be questioning, everyday, changing our belief systems” - Shane “Belief is the death of intelligence” - Robert Anton Wilson Shane says a lot of people give Leary a bad rap, but Shane appreciates what he has done Joe mentions ‘smile squared’ - Space, migration, intelligence and life extension TFYQA - Think for yourself question authority “Turn on, Tune in, Drop out” - Timothy Leary Shane says that phrase sticks with him, it called to his rebel phase in youth to grow and do this work in his life The Psychedelic Culture Splitting - a rephrase of divide and conquer Joe says the psychedelic world is very cut throat "We should take care of each other a bit more in this space" - Joe Shane says, we need to lift each other up versus look for ways to step over each other Every single facilitator or shaman has different techniques and styles and that's okay If we don't have differences then we don't have styles to choose from “We can't become fundamentalists in our own practices, we need to value the differences culturally and from a world view. They are all valuable.” - Shane Links Website Mind Op Youtube  Podcast About Shane Shane earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO, completed extensive coursework towards a Master of Arts Degree in Sport & Performance Psychology at the University of Denver, and earned his Master of Arts Degree in Sport & Exercise Psychology from Argosy University.
