Season 3: Episode 28: Preparing a Family for Another Transition Despite Continued Setbacks, We Move Forward   Guiding a family through a traumatic event requires compassion, empathy, and a delicate balance of support and engagement.  When faced with profound grief, it is crucial to provide a safe space for open family dialogue, together in family meetings.  Acknowledging wrongs and supporting forgiveness can be powerful choices in the emotional healing process, allowing individuals to release the weight of resentment to foster their own personal growth. However, forgiveness is a deeply personal journey, and it can never be rushed nor forced. Patiently listening to each family member's unique experience of pain and loss helps create an atmosphere of understanding which further the journey of acceptance.

Season 3: Dear Louise Installment 3: How do you build your SCI community after injury? with Kelly Sydnor   Even as COVID protocols have relaxed in hospital settings and family members have more access to being bedside with their SCI loved ones, there is still a tremendous gap across the US in the knowledge and expertise needed to respond to a SCI patient nationwide.  The first critical decision made for a spinal cord injury is where to transport the injured person. Most 911 call centers are not familiar with the location of the 14 SCI model centers and SCI trauma centers.  The decisions for transitioning to an appropriate rehab facility can be equally frought with uninformed decision making.  Our guest today has been there as a mom of a son injured in 2011.  She calls herself the Trauma Mamma as she is one of the SCI moms who reaches out to new SCI families in their time if overwhelm, families often struggling to understand SCI and caught in the medical system often working with medical teams who have little SCI expertise.  Listen in as Kelly and Louise reflect on what they had to learn in the critical first weeks and months of injury and how this might help you or a friend navigate their way in the first months of SCI of a loved one.   Join us in building this SCI community as we connect and create a network of practical tips and support for SCI families and friends and medical staff working to provide the best care of their loved one to survive the first year of injury.   The creation of the Blink of an Eye non profit resource library is underway now. It will be a repository for the wisdom of SCI families, SCI information needed in the first year of injury, guidance, inspiration, and statistics that can empower families to guide the course of the SCI patient's healing and advocate for their well being and their family's well being.  Make sure to follow @BlinkofaneyeNonprofit on facebook and instagram for updates on the resource library.   Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

S3 Trauma Healing Learning 25: Wholehearted Patient Care with Trauma Nurse Rebecca McWalters Think about all the connotations of the word “care.” In a clinical context, it can refer to providers who give patients sustenance and medical attention for their survival and well being. Now, pair that definition with the more colloquial meaning of “care” – heartfelt devotion and love – and you have a truly incredible combination where a caregiver's work is responsive to the patient as a whole human.  There are so many emotional and medical factors at play for both patients and families in SCI rehab.  Wholehearted care can make all the difference in trauma healing.  Join Louise and Trauma Nurse Rebecca McWalters as we hear why nurses should slow down and how Mom's know best and what it takes to cultivate that combination of care as we get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the workings of an SCI care team at a premiere rehabilitation facility. Here we go. In this episode: Rebecca McWalters is the Director of Nursing with Baron Home Group in Atlanta, Georgia. She previously was a nurse at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta and was one of the people who made a lasting impact on Archer's care in the fall of 2015.

S3 Ep25: Listen to the Patient Self-Advocacy and the Caring Ethic in SCI Rehab   Even though a Spinal Cord Injured person's brain does not receive signals from lower parts of the body, that doesn't mean their body doesn't experience pleasure, pain or discomfort. And in late October, 2015, Archer knew. He knew his body well enough to speak up just in time about an internal sensation he thought he experienced. Thankfully someone was listening. Join us for a surprising turn in our journey, as we narrowly dodge a particularly ghoulish Halloween event but end up confronting something even more shocking. This could be the reminder you need to remember to listen – to your own needs, or to someone near you who needs to be heard right now, and how to paint the picture of the patient so the medical team can see who they really are.

S3 Ep23: Lessons from Past Trauma Going Back to Go Forward Time is not linear. At least, not the felt sense of time. And when a crisis shocks the system, complex things can happen to the perception of time. Shock has the potential to bring us over the “window of tolerance” as described by Dan Siegel, and into the realm of trauma. When this happens, we need to later go back with resources and spaciousness to move through those experiences. In this episode, we take you on an experiential journey through embodied time in the wake of a trauma. You can expect the entertainment and nourishment of a powerful, true story, as well as some practical breathwork and somatic tools to gently move through your own difficult memories. Here we go.   In this episode:   Dr. Kris Radcliff, from Atlanticare ICU, who graciously and mindfully consulted with our family during the first hours following Archer's accident.   Davis Barsby, a lifelong family friend who was with Archer when Archer had his accident. That summer, Davis was working as both head lifeguard and assistant manager at the Cape May Beach Club.   Jessica Dibb, the Founder, Spiritual Director, and Principal Teacher of Inspiration Consciousness School, co-Director of the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and Trustee for the Blink of an Eye 501(c)(3), was whom Louise called upon for intuition and breath-work insight about Archer's lung capacity.

  S3 Ep22: The Doctor is not the only Authority Timing the Rehab Hospital Discharge for SCI patients   The lifelong effects of SCI highlight how fragile life is and how deeply interdependent we are. And, in the case of the person living with a SCI, getting basic needs met necessitates relying on others, and interdependence takes on a whole new dimension. The transition home from the hospital or rehab facility cannot be rushed.  SCI survival depends on having a suitable home and trained care team.  The hospital team may not realize what it takes for families to put this together and families may need to negotiate for more time.  Families can look inward to another authority guiding them through this life change and timing decisions– and that is getting in touch with the inner authority. This affects how you know when the time is right, how you know when you have the right care team, how you communicate your goals to medical practitioners, and also how you can access hope. Take a moment, drop into your inner-knowing and join us to learn what it meant for Louise and how that might inspire your own decision making and healing process. Here we go.   In this episode:   Price Campbell, one of Archer's dear high school friends from McDonogh School in Baltimore who was one of the friends to come visit Archer at Shepherd.  Hear about Price's visit when she was just 16 years old, her fears, and what sparked some much-needed ease and a moment of lightness and restoration everyone involved.

  Season 3: Trauma Healing Learning 21: Design Tips for an SCI Accessible Home with Kathy Kirchner   A home is a place where we grow, where we rest, where we spend a significant amount of our time. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the most basic physiological necessities like shelter, rest, and water are all part of what a home provides – but also some of the more psychological needs like belonging and esteem. What happens when illness or disability change the way we fulfill those needs? What if our home no longer serves us in basic or complex ways? The process of changing a home in the wake of a catastrophic event like an SCI is highly layered, and requires team members versed in both home construction and therapeutic knowledge related to disability. Kathy Kirchner is someone who holds that knowledge, and in this episode we get some crucial advice from her on how to approach a home renovation for SCI or other disability, illness, or injury. Whether or not that is your current concern, join us to gain perspective on what it really means for a home to be accessible to all who live there.   Kathy Kirchner is the owner of Accessible Home Solutions, a consulting company that helps individuals and families through the process of reworking their homes to be more accessible. Kathy's clients include people transitioning from hospitals or care facilities and returning home with a new disability, couples who want to age-in-place and account for long-term health considerations, and adult children who want to ensure their parents live in a safe home environment. She also works with the Center for Innovative Care in Aging at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, the D.C. Office on Aging's Safe at Home program, and Habitat for Humanity of Metro Maryland's CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place Advancing Better Living for Elders) program.   If you are seeking a designer who can help with an accessible home modification project, you can find a national list of individuals certified by the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology Home Modification Program at this link.   Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

Season 3: Episode 21: Changes to our Home for SCI Recovery Grief and Small Steps Towards Acceptance   Sometimes you don't know all the things you're attached to until you're asked to let them go. In this episode, we explore the anatomy of a home, and the way it holds stories just like the body holds experiences.  When Louise and her family are asked to make permanent decisions about beloved spaces to make them more accessible for Archer, the changes that are needed must happen at the level of the heart and the psyche. Come with us and absorb insights to serve you in times of sudden change and subsequent integration. We will also unpack more learnings about SCI rehabilitation, including the process of weaning from a ventilator and being an effective medical advocate for your loved ones. Here we go.   In this episode:   Jackson Morrill, a close friend and teammate of Archer's at McDonagh. He closely followed the Family & Friend Updates and was there when the Senft family needed him.   Ken Rice, a friend of the Senft family who works in real estate. He learned of their need for a storage space to make the necessary home renovations for Archer, and helped out in a surprising way.   Pete Senft, Louise's son, discusses some of his early forays into engineering when he and others built a skate ramp in the Senft's garage, which became an important gathering place for many before needing to be renovated for Archer's return home and reinvented again.   Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

Season 3: Trauma Healing Learning 17: When Grief Gets Trapped in the Body with Dana Robinson, L. Ac.   Autumn is the season of grief. Grief also inhabits particular organs in the body. Healing invites us to move with and through our emotions and trust in their necessary processes, lest they become stuck within the body system. Learn with us as we explore some of the stunning millennia-old teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine, as articulated by licensed acupuncturist Dana Robinson with Mend Acupuncture in Baltimore, Maryland. You will receive an illuminating teaching of how we can be in tune with the seasons of the calendar year, by paying attention to our emotions and which organs in the body correspond to which emotions and seasons, and how we can be in tune with the natural movement of the seasons and remove blockages in the body, particularly when certain emotions have not been fully processed, as many emotions are not in our fast paced world.     Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

  Season 3: Episode 17: Choices in the Unknown   Have you ever had to make a Sophie's Choice? What feelings intrinsically come along with being forced to choose one essential life necessity over another? Louise delves deep into the experience through personal journal notes and the teachings of grief in the face of impossible choices. She shares shocking information about what it takes to wean off a ventilator. And she poses a provocative challenge to the physical rehab teams. You will also hear from Margaret Apple, a mom at the Shepherd Center at the same time Louise and Archer were there, and her recollections of her time of great uncertainty about the future of her son. Join Louise as she explores the moments that allowed her to step back and see the broader picture and gain new insights into what is possible.   In this episode, you'll hear interview excerpts from:   Margaret Apple, a mother of a son who had suffered a traumatic brain injury around the same time as Archer's injury who was also a patient at the Shepherd Center. Her happenstance connection to Louise allowed both to open space to the grieving process and to be vulnerable about their doubts and uncertainties.   Blink of an Eye is created by Louise Phipps Senft and co-produced by Louise Phipps Senft and Zera Bloom.

A phone call in the middle of the night, or a fast-food frozen margarita with near-strangers – this might be all we need to remember we are not alone in the journey. Join us again while we continue the journey at the Shepherd Center, where you will hear sage advice from other SCI families along the way, like Kelly Sydnor, whom you heard a wise text from back in Episode 15. Guide your spirit to a place of rest as you learn about the importance and power of receiving care and support from people who have been in similar circumstances. Your Blink of an Eye Family is here to lend you a hand too. In this episode, you'll hear interview excerpts from: Kelly Sydnor, a fellow mother of a son who has tetraplegia.  Thanks to a surprise connection of an old college friend of Louise's, Kelly, a then stranger, reached out to Louise in her crisis as way of giving back in gratitude to those who helped her and her son navigate the quadriplegia path.  She offered Louise a guiding hand along the arduous path of negotiating through the medical sphere while at the Shepherd Center based on her own similar experiences.  She is now a dear friend of Louise, as well as a wonderful source of advice and wisdom for Mom's of kids with SCI.   Our theme music is Victoria Vox.   Blink of an Eye Podcast is sponsored by the Blink of an Eye Non Profit: a non-profit created as a national resource to help change the way we respond to Spinal Cord Injury to include trauma healing approaches for families and medical teams across the U.S. Blink of an Eye provides a national team of SCI specialized doctors for expert opinions in the first hours of crisis, a Multidisciplinary Family Support & Navigation Team for SCI families lead by SCI families for the first 30 days of crisis, and a National Resource Library of trauma informed responses for the first hours and days after injury specialized for families, friends and SCI medical staff.

Join us for a moment of rest, as Louise recaps and reminiscences about coming back to the rehabilitation hospital room and the uncertainty which lingered around their stay.

We hope this episode touches you as it touched us, and that your moment of rest is restorative and clarifying for your journey. Sending love.   In this episode, you'll hear interview excerpts from:   Dr. Angie Arnold, an adult psychiatrist whose practice is comprised of women patients in Atlanta, Georgia.  Hear how Louise and Angie met, and how their friendship grew during Archer's time in the Shepherd Center.  Listen in for Angie's observations and how she and Louise created brief moments of normalcy amidst deep grief and uncertainty.   Blink of an Eye Podcast is sponsored by the Blink of an Eye Non Profit: a non-profit created as a national resource to help change the way we respond to Spinal Cord Injury to include trauma healing approaches for families and medical teams across the U.S. Blink of an Eye provides a national team of SCI specialized doctors for expert opinions in the first hours of crisis, a Multidisciplinary Family Support & Navigation Team for SCI families lead by SCI families for the first 30 days of crisis, and a National Resource Library of trauma informed responses for the first hours and days after injury specialized for families, friends and SCI medical staff.

  As humans, we are inherently curious about how we came into this bright and complex world. More often than not, we rely on stories from our family or haphazard, poor-quality videos taken after our births in the delivery room. Occasionally, we are even left wondering with seemingly no information at all. If only there were a way we could remember what it was like actually to exit the womb and enter the world. Well, some people do remember, and these are “birth memories.” They are quite extraordinary. Listen in to this Trauma Healing Learning for ways in which you may still recall your birth memories or for ways gently to ask a young child what their experience was like. Louise and James Radde, a Jesuit Priest, will take you on a story-filled journey, which describes the elusive subject of memory, healing past trauma, power currency, generational trauma and more. You don't want to miss this rare opportunity for conversation about deep matters of the heart and social topics that receive very little attention for the perpetuation of a legacy of societal trauma. Join our Blink of an Eye family in exploring new, ground-breaking pathways for healing.   Our theme music is Victoria Vox.   Blink of an Eye Podcast is sponsored by the Blink of an Eye Non Profit: a non-profit created as a national resource to help change the way we respond to Spinal Cord Injury to include trauma healing approaches for families and medical teams across the U.S. Blink of an Eye provides a national team of SCI specialized doctors for expert opinions in the first hours of crisis, a Multidisciplinary Family Support & Navigation Team for SCI families lead by SCI families for the first 30 days of crisis, and a National Resource Library of trauma informed responses for the first hours and days after injury specialized for families, friends and SCI medical staff.

  The process of changing your worldview is never easy. Introspection is not often a comfortable process, but then again, change never really is for many of us, and yet it's change that keeps us growing, keeps us living. If you've ever experienced a transformation of perspective, you know what it can be like to reflect, channel empathy and even feel a little embarrassment for your past self. Don't go it alone. Join Louise in her journey of how disability shifted her perspective from Baltimore to Shepherd, to Disneyworld and back again, all in under 48 hours. Follow along on the flight of a lifetime, as told by Louise's Personal Journal Notes and a Family and Friends Update. You also won't want to miss a special gift and why it was such a surprise from a litigation lawyer.    In this episode, you'll hear interview excerpts from:   Judy Condliffe, an attorney mediator in Baltimore, MD who had attended Louise's 40 Hour Certified Mediation Courses many years before Archer's injury as a tough litigation lawyer turned mediator who gifted Louise a hand-made, knitted blanket when she heard the news. Judy, a professed Atheist had knitted into the blanket for Louise the “Archer Strong” letters, a row of hearts, a row of crosses. Listen in to Judy and Louise's subsequent conversation about faith, art and goodness for a touching moment of inclusivity and connectedness for all of us.   Blink of an Eye Podcast is sponsored by the Blink of an Eye Non Profit: a non-profit created as a national resource to help change the way we respond to Spinal Cord Injury to include trauma healing approaches for families and medical teams across the U.S. Blink of an Eye provides a national team of SCI specialized doctors for expert opinions in the first hours of crisis, a Multidisciplinary Family Support & Navigation Team for SCI families lead by SCI families for the first 30 days of crisis, and a National Resource Library of trauma informed responses for the first hours and days after injury specialized for families, friends and SCI medical staff.

  What if there were a way to know which healing supplements your body liked and disliked? It would be invaluable for the healing process, as well as overall body health. You could avoid substances that may slow your body's recovery from trauma. Well, nutritional response testing is a way to bridge this tricky gap between the mind and body. It can even allow patients to identify specific organs suffering from trauma, to discern certain foods, objects and words that resonate with the body's healing and more. In this episode, you'll hear from Dr. Mary Ann Ley, a practitioner trained in the art of nutritional response testing and chiropractic medicine, among a host of other healing methods. Join Louise as you walk along the path of relational wanderings with a clinician and her patient, as they share trauma healing wisdom, including birth stories, scar treatment and indirect testing for those with quadriplegia. Yes, that's right. Tune in for the miraculous ways in which another person can even become a conduit for someone with paralysis, so that they may be able to experience the benefits of nutritional or muscle response testing too.   Our theme music is Victoria Vox.   Blink of an Eye Podcast is sponsored by the Blink of an Eye Non Profit: a non-profit created as a national resource to help change the way we respond to Spinal Cord Injury to include trauma healing approaches for families and medical teams across the U.S. Blink of an Eye provides a national team of SCI specialized doctors for expert opinions in the first hours of crisis, a Multidisciplinary Family Support & Navigation Team for SCI families lead by SCI families for the first 30 days of crisis, and a National Resource Library of trauma informed responses for the first hours and days after injury specialized for families, friends and SCI medical staff.

  The feeling of coming home after you've been away at battle is like a warm sensation of solid safety. Coming home is also a reminder of what it is like to be seen, to be known as who you are, and to be reminded of the lives you've touched and the lives that touch you back. It can also be a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, as coming home isn't always stress-free. Join Louise in the second part of her heart-warming, yet heart-breaking, return home and hear from the people who help her achieve solace in a number of different ways. You'll also experience what an established personal care team can look like, as having one is often crucial to the trauma healing process. Warm hugs, a place to break down, watching a water lily bloom and getting a great haircut are all healing experiences. You'll hear about muscle response testing too, and its role in restoring the body to good health.  Recovering from trauma is a personal journey, and it's all about what feels right for you. We hope these Blink of an Eye examples grasp you by the hand and lead you down your own path of healing and refortification.   In this episode, you'll hear interview excerpts from:   Ellen Webb, a long-time neighbor, friend and “sister,” as Louise describes in the first part of Going Home. Ellen was on a walk at the time of Louise's arrival to Baltimore, and she offered heartwarming support during what was an emotional return to the Senft family home.   Sue Ebert, Louise's hairdresser and a member of her healing circle. Sue shares her memories of a particularly impactful appointment with Louise, and she also discusses the powerful healing elements of human touch.   Dr. Mary Ann Ley, a trained Chiropractor and Nutritional Response Testing practitioner and part of Louise's healing circle in Baltimore whom she returned to during the intense ICU days. Listen in to Dr. Ley's companion Trauma Healing Learning interview to learn about the body's wisdom to let you know what is not good for you by testing the muscles, and to hear first hand accounts of the power of the healer's intention.   Blink of an Eye Podcast is sponsored by I C THAT — The Integrative Center for Trauma Healing, Advocacy and Transformation and the Blink of an Eye non-profit created as a national resource to help change the way we respond to Spinal Cord Injury to include trauma healing approaches for families and medical teams across the U.S.  I C THAT provides a national team of SCI specialized doctors for expert opinions in the first hours of crisis, a Multidisciplinary Family Support & Navigation Team for SCI families lead by SCI families for the first 30 days of crisis, and a National Resource Library of trauma informed responses for the first hours and days after injury specialized for families, friends and SCI medical staff.

  Most of us have known a family in medical crisis. However, what we don't always know is how we could possibly help a family experiencing major grief and loss. This Trauma Healing Learning details how to create a network of support for families in need. Learn how to appoint “Quarterbacks” to specific tasks, as well as the value of a central communication system, “Point Persons” and how to avoid overwhelming those volunteering. If you're a hard-working and yard-working Dad, consider pitching in by making the outside of someone's home look like a beautiful trauma healing sanctuary. No act of kindness is insignificant, and yard work is sometimes overlooked. Your home is a sanctuary, and it can look like one too. Love and beauty can help heal heartbreaking trauma. Join Louise in her emotional recollection of the time a dear friend, Jim Hebert, performed this gardening kindness, along with a brigade of Archer's Army.   Our theme music is Victoria Vox. Music in this episode is:   Ethereal Meditative Piano by MusicLFiles Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/6292-ethereal-meditative-piano License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Horizon Flare by Alexander Nakarada Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/4837-horizon-flare License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Relaxing Meditation by Liron Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/7891-relaxing-meditation License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Emotional Nostalgic by MusicLFiles Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/8541-emotional-nostalgic License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Ambient Suspenseful Calm by MusicLFiles Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/8563-ambient-suspenseful-calm License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Placid Ambient by MusicLFiles Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/6189-placid-ambient License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Piano Hymn by Alexander Nakarada https://filmmusic.io/song/9276-piano-hymn License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Heartfelt Tears by MusicLFiles https://filmmusic.io/song/8903-heartfelt-tears License (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Calm Reflective Piano by MusicLFiles Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/8022-calm-reflective-piano License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license   Blink of an Eye Podcast is sponsored by I C THAT — The Integrative Center for Trauma Healing, Advocacy and Transformation: a non-profit created as a national resource to help change the way we respond to Spinal Cord Injury to include trauma healing approaches for families and medical teams across the U.S.  I C THAT provides a national team of SCI specialized doctors for expert opinions in the first hours of crisis, a Multidisciplinary Family Support & Navigation Team for SCI families lead by SCI families for the first 30 days of crisis, and a National Resource Library of trauma informed responses for the first hours and days after injury specialized for families, friends and SCI medical staff.

  Welcome to Episode 12… and welcome home. This two-part segment of the Blink of an Eye story details the behind-the-scenes fear and insecurity Archer and Louise were facing at the Shepherd Center in more detail than ever before. The foreboding of an overstayed welcome begins to set in, and you'll experience heartbreaking as well as uplifting wonderings. Most importantly, hear what Louise was unable to share at the time, including texts, work and family stress, anxieties about going home and more. In this episode, Blink of an Eye reaches new heights of truth and authenticity with Louise's “Personal Journal Notes.” These are entries written in real time by Archer's beside, usually in the soft, nighttime glow of hospital monitors, which Louise never included in the Archer Blogs for reasons you will hear about. You'll hear some surprises as well as ways that you might create a homecoming for your friends in crisis.     In this episode, you'll hear interview excerpts from:   Ellen Webb, a long-time neighbor, friend and “sister,” as Louise describes in this first part of Episode 12. Ellen was on a walk at the time of Louise's arrival to Baltimore, and she offered heartwarming support during what was an emotional return to the Senft family home.   Jim Hebert, a great neighbor, a father of three and a dear friend. Jim was a part of the yard brigade that kept the Senft house a beautiful home during Archer's time in hospital care.   Blink of an Eye Podcast is sponsored by I C THAT — The Integrative Center for Trauma Healing, Advocacy and Transformation and the Blink of an Eye non-profit created as a national resource to help change the way we respond to Spinal Cord Injury to include trauma healing approaches for families and medical teams across the U.S.  I C THAT provides a national team of SCI specialized doctors for expert opinions in the first hours of crisis, a Multidisciplinary Family Support & Navigation Team for SCI families lead by SCI families for the first 30 days of crisis, and a National Resource Library of trauma informed responses for the first hours and days after injury specialized for families, friends and SCI medical staff.

Summer is a time of traveling, relaxation and recreational activity. It is also a time for increased Spinal Cord Injury: boating, diving, swimming and motor vehicle accidents. 80% of SCI accidents happen when we are just living our lives, recreating, vacationing and on sports fields. Let's take a pause to send our love to those whose lives have been impacted by life-changing SCI. This special episode raises awareness for SCI tragedies in the hope of preventing future injury. Join Louise to learn about the cutting edge work of the Blink of an Eye 501(c)(3) non-profit, and its parent group, I C THAT, in their advocacy to help families and medical teams in the critical first 30 days of SCI injury. This episode also pauses for the opportunity to take a moment to acknowledge any unresolved trauma in your life and to consider ways to begin or continue your healing journey. There is no specific timeline for trauma healing, but there is always now for a new beginning. You are never broken; you are always whole.

Last week, we joined trained acupuncturist and healer Dr. Janice Campbell on a journey through the many facets of somatic touch. In this episode, we plunge into the themes of the power of intention and attention for healing the body. We learn that when a strong mind-body connection is achieved, our life possibilities are endless. Listen in for some mind blowing insights for quadriplegics. We learn about Dr. Campbell's personal healing experiences, as well as those of some dedicated patients. Listen in to the miraculous epiphany that led Dr. Campbell from stage management to acupuncture! This fascinating interview runs the gamut from hangover remedies to pinpointing trauma through involuntary, bodily movement. Accompany Louise and Dr. Campbell in contemplating the body's response to trauma and the body's organs that store our past experiences including the ‘the kidney hold.'
