ART: Accelerated Resolution Therapy & PTSD

Kevin E. Kip, Ph.D. is a tenured Distinguished Health Professor, epidemiologist, and biostatistician with 18 years of experience on U.S. Federal, Department of Defense, and industry-funded studies. His background is interdisciplinary with more than 170 peer-reviewed publications, and his presentation of new Accelerated Resolution Therapy treatment options is at once engaging, scientifically exciting and heartfelt.

With multi-million dollar funding from the U.S. Department of Defense, he established the Research to Improve Emotional Health/Quality of Life of Service Members with Disabilities, (RESTORE LIVES) Center at the University of South Florida. Through this Center, he is the leading researcher worldwide in the study of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an emerging, brief, and evidence-based method of psychotherapy for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related comorbidities.

His Prior Work

Dr. Kip is previous Principal Investigator of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Dynamic Registry of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) which enrolled approximately 10,000 patients. He was a member of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) – Committee to Review the Health Effects in Vietnam Veterans of Exposure to Herbicides. Dr. Kip is a frequent grant reviewer for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is studying a range of complementary and alternative medicine therapies for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.

This discussion is, in a word – transformational. Must listen!

Denial & Self-Deception Create Relationship Challenges

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

~ Viktor Frankl

Dr. Cortney S. Warren is a retired Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. After earning her bachelor’s degree at Macalester College in 2000, Cortney received her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Texas A&M University in 2006. She completed her clinical internship at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School. She joins us here at CBJ to discuss the challenges of denial and self-deception. Her excellent book is filled with wisdom quotes that will help you consider next steps.

As a retired Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Dr. Warren is an expert on eating disorders, addictions, self-deception, and the practice of psychotherapy from a cross-cultural perspective. Denial is the hallmark of addictive disorders. 

Honest Liars

In a TEDx talk called Honest Liars: The Psychology of Self-Deception, Dr. Warren argues that self-deception is our biggest obstacle to life fulfillment. As such, Dr. Warren challenges audiences to improve their lives by looking within and changing the only thing they have any control over—themselves.

Mold, Mycotoxins, Brain Function & Treatment Failure

Dr. Heather Sandison is a Naturopathic Physician and the founder and medical director of North County Natural Medicine in Encinitas, California. Dr. Sandison’s focus is on healing and optimizing brain function through understanding previously misunderstood mycotoxins that affect cognition.

Mycotoxins Matter

In this CBJ Episode, she elaborates additional insights through this clinical presentation of Mycotoxins as discussed during our previous CBJ/190 laboratory-measurement interview with Dr. Pratt-Hyatt from Great Plains Laboratory. She works with patients who struggle with anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, insomnia, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia – and fresh, actionable insights to this frequently overlooked treatment failure topic of mycotoxins and mold – and the direct action of mycotoxins on multiple brain functions.

Her Resources

Dr. Sandison clinically applies the work and wisdom of experts in the field including Dr. Bill Walsh [CBJ/115], Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, and Dr. Neil Nathan. She combines these varied approaches to address mental health – all in the context of naturopathic medicine – starting with the certainty that each body is capable of health and healing.

Neurohacker Connection

Dr. Sandison is bright, exceedingly engaging, and works at times with another of our most interesting CBJ Guests at the Neurohacker Collective – Daniel Schmachtenberger.

Post-Truth Politics – Systems-2 Thinking & Leadership

Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, from Columbus, OH, provides expertise in science-based decision-making through emotional and social intelligence to help leaders and organizations avoid disaster. He researches these and similar post-truth topics as a tenure-track professor at The Ohio State University’s Decision Sciences Collaborative and History Department.

Truth and Politics? Listen as we discuss Post-Truth…

Does Tsipursky’s name sound familiar? I invited him back for this second interview here at CBJ – his first at CBJ/124 discussed essential evolutionary details for the values of System-2 thinking patterns and is well worth a review. This interview is so timely as Dr. Tsipursky weights in on the abundance of political lies and their contributions to the disorder of our society.  Strongly recommended.

His new book is coming out soon, stay posted here as I will add it as soon as he sends me his Amazon Link.

Next: Post-Truth Politics & Emotional Intelligence

It’s important to note that Gleb runs a nonprofit that popularizes science-based strategies for effective decision-making, goal achievement, emotional and social intelligence, meaning and purpose, mental and emotional well-being, and altruism in politics, business, and other life areas, Intentional Insights. He publishes articles on these topics in prominent venues and appears regularly as a guest expert on TV, radio, podcasts, and videocasts. An Amazon best-selling author, he is most well-known for Find Your Purpose Using Science, and his Pro-Truth Politics: Fighting Post-Truth Politics and Alternative Facts with Behavioral Science is forthcoming soon. He does speaking and training, as well as consulting and coaching, for current and future leaders and teams in mid-size and large corporations and nonprofits.

#MeToo At Home – Domestic Abuse, Violence & Denial

Johanne Brennan – Is a powerful woman from Ontario Canada, Johanne Brennan is a survivor of nearly two decades of domestic abuse and violence abroad. As an advocate for women’s empowerment, she helps people worldwide break free from abusive relationships. As an author, speaker, and consultant, her message is indisputable and profound.

Johanne is currently preparing a North American tour of speaking engagements to raise awareness of domestic violence, helping women to stand their ground, find their worth and independence.

Hidden Home Incidence of Domestic Abuse – Beyond Celebrity

Johanne has endured and combated years of PTSD, anxiety, and two major depressive episodes. She has had years of intensive treatment in at Providence Continuing Care in Kingston, Ontario and extensive interpersonal therapy. She has overcome obstacles many could have never fathomed in a lifetime. Additionally, she has also endured seventeen surgeries, two of which were near death. With the help of her family, she successfully accomplished self-representation in court after being $30,000 in debt from legal fees in order to protect her children.

Stats: Women experience more serious forms of domestic abuse than men.

* #metoo issues arise even more frequently at homes as thousands of women suffer from domestic abuse and homicide.

* 4 in 10 women victimized by their spouse report being physically injured (42%), more than twice the proportion of male victims (18%) (2009).5

* Women are three times more likely to report being beaten, choked, sexually assaulted, or threatened with a gun or knife by their partner or ex-partner (2009).6

* Women are more likely to experience multiple victimizations, according to self-reported data (2009).7

* Most victims of domestic homicide are female, while most perpetrators are male.

* 95% of spousal homicide victims in Ontario are female (2011).8

* There were 59 female spousal homicide victims in Canada in 2011, in comparison to 7 male victims.9

* Of the homicide cases with domestic violence involvement which occurred in Ontario from 2002 to 2009, 80% of victims were women, 12% were children and 8% were men.10

Johanne’s Mission

Johanne is passionate about helping women empower each other, and building a deep support system. She strives to help others to develop their authenticity and find one’s true self again through love, perseverance, compassion – for themselves and each other.  Additionally,  she helps women develop a bulletproof mindset coupled with listening to their intuition – the one common denominator that you can trust after trust has been broken.

Handwriting Took Mozelle Out of Her Darkness

Mozelle Martin is a forensics expert with a specific skill-set regarding not only handwriting analysis – but how to use handwriting practices to encourage changes in underly personality traits. Yes, handwriting awareness and analysis can provide answers to underlying conflicts.

Now, this may sound a bit odd – beyond arcane – but in the spirit of diverse information and continuing here at CBJ to consider interesting options that might provide different useful answers I’ve included this interview. Listen up, her insights are persuasive.

Finding Herself

Mozelle was adopted at birth and raised as an only child by successful entrepreneurs, yet in an exceedingly toxic childhood environment. Today she is grateful for these experiences because they helped her fine-tune the life she wanted.  Always feeling like “the girl behind the fence” she now appreciates her driven purpose to remain focused on healing and success.

Handwriting is but one of her unlocking tools. 

After growing up in the forensics field, and serving a short time in the military, Mozelle opened her coaching practice in 1987 and became the first person in modern history to create a personality-changing, brain-based program through using one’s handwriting to change personality characteristics.

Since that time, Mozelle’s career as a forensic handwriting expert continued to grow rapidly. She then moved into consulting for law enforcement agencies around the world, and regularly serves as a legal consultant and an expert witness.

Her Media Experience

Throughout her career, Mozelle has been featured on international radio and television programs, and in print media. She has been a consultant for Criminal Minds, has given commentaries to media outlets such as ABC, NBC, Crime Watch Daily, TruTV,  is a former newspaper columnist, and morning shows regular. She is a member of the Mental Health Awareness Coalition and the National Organization for Women and is a Board Member of the Council of Families for Children.

Additionally, Mozelle is a Forensic Case Consultant, working closely with her colleague, a retired Federal Agent to assess handwriting meanings.

After 14 years of college, Mozelle graduated with a Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology, finishing in the top 15% of graduate students worldwide. She also holds a Doctorate in Transcendental Psychology and has worked as a Forensic Mental Health Professional in various correctional facilities across the USA. She currently teaches forensics at a Phoenix-area college and is listed in the Mental Health Professional Referral Network (MHPRN).

Mental Toughness For Women – And Men

He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers himself is mighty.

~ Lao Tzu

LaRae Quy was an FBI counterintelligence and undercover agent who exposed foreign spies and recruited them to work for the U.S. Government. A good FBI counterintelligence investigation uncovers new information about the spy to gain deeper insights into what influences their behavior and attitudes.

LaRae’s job was to dig beneath the surface, probe the unknown, and discover their real identity in spite of their obvious attempts at subterfuge. In the process, she ended up knowing more about the foreign spy than they knew about themselves. 

LaRae was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Wyoming where she learned many of the survival skills she would need as an FBI agent. After twenty years as an undercover and counterintelligence agent, LaRae became the spokesperson for the FBI in Northern California for four years. Although the job description had changed, she used the same set of communication skills to present both a compelling message and positive image of the FBI.

Listen up for deep international applications with down-home street smarts.

She Became Tougher

Mental toughness is the birthplace of personal leadership development. It is the ability for each person to look inward and find solid ground when the going gets tough. Strong minds identify productive patterns of behavior so they can become successful in areas that are important to them. Once individuals understand their behavioral patterns, they can choose to respond from a place of strength when confronted with risk and uncertainty in unpredictable situations.

Mental toughness is not something you’re born with; it is a quality that you can develop with experience and coaching by:

Saying no to your self-limiting beliefs

Rewiring your brain for new patterns of behavior

Empowering yourself—the opposite of helplessness

Cultivating the attitude of positivity

Surrounding yourself with people who build you up

Leading from the heart

Testing For Mycotoxins From Mold At Any Age

Dr. Kurt Woeller has been a biomedical autism specialist since 1998, and in this interesting CBJ Episode, he clarifies the multiple benefits and indications for Mold awareness and Testing for Mycotoxins. This is the second CBJ guest interview with Dr. Woeller after his excellent first discussion regarding biomedical measurement strategies for autism and treatment failure, linked here: CBJ/140

As an original Defeat Autism Now! (DAN!) referral physician, he has years of experience in researching and implementing advanced biomedical interventions for individuals with autism. His extensive network of educational websites, books and webinars provide parents of individuals on the autism-spectrum, as well as physicians and other healthcare providers treating autism, access to an abundance of important information regarding biomedical intervention measurements and treatment strategies.

To have direct interaction with Dr. Woeller right away you can subscribe to his biomedical autism website at AutismRecoverySystem.com. There you can post questions in the Parent Forum which Dr. Woeller will answer directly. He is also available for private consultations through his office including phone and Skype (internet) appointments.

Dr. Woeller’s Training Websites – For Professionals & The Public

Toxicity Mastery Course – http://toxicitymasterycourse.com – Connect Now: Starts Monday, March 5 – This is the course we discuss in this interview. The content is designed for health professionals, but it’s open to anyone who wants to take it. This CBJ interview highlights the mycotoxin portion of this comprehensive course on toxin challenges. If you don’t look you can’t see.

Integrative Medicine Academy – http://integrativemedicineacademy.com – this is the main website for his various “Mastery” courses. This site provides an overview of each course and in time he plans to add a Reference Directory for practitioners who have taken our courses, and a forum for ongoing QA and case reviews.

Autism Mastery Course – http://autismmasterycourse.com – He is currently two weeks into a relaunch of this course. This was our original flagship course we started with a few years ago. Every time I redo the course I update material. This course is also designed for health professionals and open to parents as well.

SIBO Mastery Course – http://sibomasterycourse.com – this course will be a next big launch after Toxicity Mastery. This course was originally titled GI Mastery (and some of the information on the webpage still reflects that), but we are rebranding it to give a heavier focus on SIBO. We’re planning another Dr. Woeller interview on small intestinal bacterial overgrowth – SIBO – and the effects it has on other conditions, e.g. fatigue, mental health, brain fog, & emotional dysregulation.

Autism Recovery System – http://autismrecoverysystem.com – this site was designed to take the place of Autism Action Plan (AAP). AAP is contemporary in content yet built on an older site, so much of the video doesn’t function properly on the newer mobile devices. AAP still exists because people still find it and join, but we are attempting to get people over to Autism Recovery System site because it is more updated and user-friendly. This website is specifically designed for both parents and caregivers with autistic kids who are seeking more information.
