Join Dr. Shawna discusses the concept of playing the role of "victim" in the rehab space. She speaks from personal experience about how playing this role has impacted her own health journey. She provides tools/ideas for how to have an alternative perspective and what that looks like for her currently.

Join Dr. Shawna Berk as she talks about her experience as a patient with Matrix Repatterning. This is a follow up episode from last week's episode with Oliver Hartan. Shawna discusses the highs and lows of being a patient and how this technique has personally impacted her recovery.

Dr. Shawna is joined by Oliver Hartan (Registered Massage Therapist, Certified Matrix Repatterning Practitioner, Matrix Lead Instructor) to discuss the how and why behind a manual therapy technique called Matrix Repatterning (created by Dr. George Roth). Learn about bone tension, hidden strain patterns, and how your physical structure could be impacting your mental health.

Episode 3: Fun fact, #3 is Dr. Shawna's favorite number. It seemed fitting that she spoke about one of her favorite people, Micky Buddingh, who inspired Shawna to create a podcast as a way to alchemize the lessons and blessings she has gleaned notably during the past 7 years. Micky passed suddenly in April '24 and Shawna wanted to honor her friendship and memory in this episode.

Micky was an amazing businesswoman and would want to know Shawna was actively trying to get to podcast financially sponsored.

Episode 2: Join Dr. Shawna Berk for the second episode of Authentically Shawna. She talks about milestones moments that have shaped the past the past 7 years: car accident, gradate school, and practicing as a physical therapist.
