Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

Hundreds of thousands of people die from dementia every year, and their relatives and friends, number in the millions. It’s the club that no one wants to belong to. But the good news is, you can find help—you need to know where to look.

Leona Illig has written a book that may answer some of your questions. In 2014, her mother began to show signs of dementia, and four years later, she passed away from complications of that disease. Leona, who had no formal medical training or care giving experience, suddenly had to navigate a complex, confusing system of medicines, doctors, and treatments. Her book, Mom and Dementia and Me, is written from a layperson’s point of view with the hope that others can benefit from what she learned. Included in the book are chapters on how to adapt your house to the needs of a dementia patient, how to choose the right medical equipment, and a checklist for things that need to be done before the end comes. The book also contains, somewhat surprisingly, a lot of humor.

Leona has lived in various places around the world including Thailand, Laos, Egypt, and Yemen; she has studied Arabic, Cambodian, Lao, Thai, and Vietnamese. After retiring from the U.S. Department of Defense with the rank of Defense Intelligence Senior Level, she worked as a book reviewer for Children’s Literature, LLC. Her published fiction includes a children’s book, The Elephant and the Bird Feeder, and a coming-of-age novella, Thumper: Life on the Farm. Her short stories have been published by The MacGuffin and The North Atlantic Review; her latest story was chosen for inclusion in The Bay to Ocean Journal, 2022. Her humorous non-fiction articles have been published by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and by Sky & Telescope, the premier astronomy magazine in the United States. Her latest non-fiction book, Mom and Dementia and Me, was praised by the senior reviewer for “The Midwest Book Review” as “a winner.” She holds an associate degree in Elementary Education from Anne Arundel Community College and a Master’s Degree in English Literature from the University of Maryland, College Park. She is a member of The Authors’ Guild, Sisters in Crime, The Mystery Writers of America, The Historical Novel Society, the Maryland Writers’ Association, and the Eastern Shore Writers’ Association. Leona lives between Baltimore and Annapolis with her husband, David, and a very small spaniel named Clara.

Voices of Experience - 07 - 12 - 23 - Myths and Realities of Bill Boeing by Alternative Talk- 1150AM KKNW

Sense of smell has been more closely linked to memories than any other sense. Behavioral studies have shown that smells trigger emotional memories and are better at inducing the feeling of nostalgia than images themselves. Even the lack of a sense of smell can result in the loss of an important sentimental pathway to memories.

Memories happen to be most stored by smell in our first decade of life, from infancy to 10 years of age.

Smells can bring back forgotten memories. In fact, research has shown, individuals suffering from PTSD, are more prone to smell triggers.

Implicit memories are trauma related reactions like sweating, heart racing, trembling, and other physical and emotional responses. They require no conscious memory of the event to be experienced and are the most accurate memories. So if a smell, which is a surprisingly good one, makes you feel bad for no reason, it’s worth exploring why and recovering the memory, in order to move forward in your life.

On this Encore Edition of Love From The Hyp (originally aired 8/14/19) Lisa Solterbeck, an intuitive Empath and Clinical Social Worker, shares her story of how a smell recovered traumatic memories for her, she not only had no recollection of, but also dug rather deep. Listen in as she takes you through what she uncovered, how it was affecting her life and her work, and how she eventually ended up working through the trauma. Also hear how she recommends others work through their blocks, and uncover traumatic memories, as well as more amazing healing wisdom she has to offer. You won’t want to miss it!
