In this episode, Veronique Mead, MD, MA, SEP, founder/consultant at Chronic Illness Trauma Studies interviews Psychologist Tony Madrid, PhD of Russian River Counselors on his work reversing asthma in children by helping their mothers heal from bonding disruptions. Childhood asthma can be cured if the child is not bonded with their mother. That occurs when babies are removed too soon from their mother or when the mother has suffered some terrible thing in her life, like divorce or death in the family. When the trauma is healed and a new birth is created in the mother’s mind, the child’s asthma will improve.

Veronique Mead, MD, MA was a Dartmouth-affiliated assistant professor of family medicine and obstetrics. She retrained with a Master’s degree in somatic psychotherapy from Naropa University and additional specialty training in pre and perinatal and other forms of trauma. For the past 25 years she has explored the scientific literature on how effects of trauma from the prenatal and other periods in a person’s life can influence risk for autoimmune and other chronic illnesses. She shares the research on her blog Chronic Illness Trauma Studies https://chronicillnesstraumastudies.com

Tony Madrid, PhD has a Doctorate from Washington State University and completed a Fellowship in Medical Psychology at University of California at San Francisco. He ran California’s licensing board for four years and was a lecturer at the University of San Francisco for 11 years. He’s been a staff psychologist at Sonoma County for 3 years and a member of Russian River Counselors for 25 years. Madrid has over 30 papers published on Bonding Therapy and its cure for childhood asthma. https://mibsonoma.weebly.com
