Johnnie and Dr. Eric Gentry discuss how valuable it is to find your voice to share with others. "Bring forth that which is in you and that which is in you will save you. Fail to bring forth that which is in you and that which is in you will destroy you." In this discussion we will learn to identify the reasons we 'fail''' to open up and what happens when we do not. While also learning the benefits of sharing.

Dr. Eric Gentry has trained thousands of professionals and paraprofessionals worldwide in the treatment of traumatic stress. His doctorate is from Florida State University where he studied with Professor Charles Figley, one of the pioneers of traumatic stress. Dr. Gentry was one of the original faculty members of the Traumatology Institute and later became the co-director of the International Traumatology Institute at the University of Southern Florida. Dr. Gentry, along with Dr. Anna Baranowsky, is the co-author and co-owner of the Traumatology Institute Training Curriculum – 17 courses in field and clinical traumatology leading to seven separate certifications.  He is the co-author of the critically acclaimed Trauma Practice: Tools for Stabilization and Recovery (Third Edition). His newest books include Forward Facing Trauma Therapy (2016) and is co-author of Trauma, PTSD, Grief & Loss (PPM, 2017).

Join Johnnie and Ora as they discuss how natural it is for us to seek and gather evidence that supports the 'facts' we tell ourselves (real or perceived).  This makes those 'facts' more real and keeps us in a place of hopelessness. The key is to challenge that natural tendency by facing the facts.  We need to stop seeking evidence that justifies our hopelessness as this supports continued addiction.  We need to, rather, seek the evidence to prove our hopefullness! This is where the Says Who? method can help you question these facts. Challenging what we tell yourself will help us turn a light on those 'perceived facts' and find another way to look at them.
