In this episode of The Intelligent Divorce with Mark Banschick, M.D., we discuss Trauma. Most of us has heard of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a severe form of trauma. This is triggered by a severe event such a car accident, or the trauma of a battlefield.

We're going to discuss the most common form, Complex Trauma, and see how it can creep into our relationships. Complex trauma can occur as a result of domestic violence or from suffering a trauma at an early age and now in adulthood, issues trigger past trauma. So the question is, have you been traumatized and if so, is there treatment available?

Once you recognize your triggers you can begin the process of detoxifying the trauma. Dr. Banschick believes that traumas can be treated with much success and offers hope for a peaceful future.

Stress not only affects our mental wellbeing, but our physical health as well. Our guest, Dr. Vivien Brown a family physician and Vice President for MEDISYS Health Group, Inc., in charge of Medical Affairs (http://www.medisys.ca/) explores the impact of stress on the body and how you can actually prevent disease and illness – because “nothing makes you feel more fragile than getting sick.”

Dr. Brown shares with us the importance of preventative medicine and what you can do at a time when your body is most vulnerable. An award winner for teaching on many levels, Dr. Brown’s major interests are in the area of health promotion and prevention for women, and continuing medical education. She is particularly focused in the area of Adult Immunization and Vaccine Preventable Illness.

Topics include:

• The impact of stress on the immune system on our lives
• Focusing on a healthy lifestyle and understanding modifiable risks
• Health promotion and health prevention
• The importance of a fitness program
• Important immunizations
• Coping with depression

On this episode of Single Again! Now What?, Joanie, Lesley and Steve discuss internet dating. The trio talk about their experiences and thoughts about this popular dating trend for the single again crowd.

Is dating after divorce different for men than women? How do you go from meeting on a dating site to meeting in person? Is face-to-face Skyping a better way to find a love interest? We cover it all and much more. We also touch on the topic of loneliness after divorce, and, as usual, we do it with plenty of laughs. We also give a shout out to our friends listening in Singapore. (We love Singapore!)

The program includes a visit from Cindy Sample, author of Dying for a Date and the sequel, Dying for a Dance. Her books are receiving rave reviews. Author Linda Lovely raves: "In Cindy Sample's newest humor-packed mystery, the author packages her whodunit puzzle in the glittering wrapper of ballroom dance competition. With pacing as energetic as a mambo, Dying for a Dance will have readers turning pages to see if the feisty single mom can calm a Bridezilla gal pal, squeeze in lip locks with a hunky detective, save her bank and her job, and figure out who is murdering dance instructors. Laughs abound along with ample thrills. When this dance ends, you'll applaud."

In this episode of Divorce Source Radio with Steve Peck, Certified Divorce Coach & Master Energy Practitioner, Karen McMahon, is our guest and helps us understand Victim Mentality.

Many people fee victimized after going through divorce and victimization is counterproductive in moving forward with our new life. When people feel victimized, their focus is centered on themselves and their personal energy becomes very low and destructive.

Karen teaches us how to shift out of victim mentality by addressing the following topics:

• Realizing that getting angry is a step in the right direction
• How to change your thoughts from why you can't to why you can
• Understanding the first step is awareness
• How to detach from conflict into detachment
• The role forgiveness plays is detaching from victim mentality
• And much more.

Ultimately, we all want to live in peace and joy. We need to get past conflict, into forgiveness and then to compassion. Once we reach that place, we can live in peace and move towards a more joyful life with less negative energy in our lives.

Joanie, Lesley and Steve take an online personality assessment test to determine their personality traits. This is a fun test that listeners can take as well for more insight into their traits and what they should be looking for in a partner. Joanie's labeled a S. D. I., Lesley a I.D., and Steve's a I/SD. So what in the world does that mean and can knowing our personality traits help us improve relationships?

The online assessment test takes you only about 15-20 minutes to complete. It provides concise, yet very helpful insights based on your answers. The assessment also includes charts and your scores. Don't look at this as a test as this is something you can't fail. There are no right or wrong answers, just your individual preferences.

So come along for the ride as we get a better handle on what makes us tick. Only Joanie, Lesley and Steve can make test taking fun! ;) For more on the Single Again!
