In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with Dr. Susanna Calvert, founder and executive director of the Foundation for Family and Community Healing and Sanctuary of Earth. She explains the themes of healing, authenticity, and spirituality that her foundations focus on. She explores the significance of teaching self-regulation and emotional processing skills to children, to help them avoid the long-term effects of mental rigidity. She also emphasizes the need for mindfulness and the development of essential skills for processing adversity and nurturing joy – e.g., being more open as a way to change beliefs; accepting what we can’t change and addressing what we can; listening at a deep level; and developing the relationship between ourselves, the Earth and the Divine.
