Interviewed by Reggie Marra

"Every behavior has a story, say Dr. Joel Kreisberg."When we get to know this story through coaching and reflective dialogue, we can choose a new healthier story. This new story helps motivate us to to heal challenging health issues more effectively.":  Join Dr. Joel Kreisberg as he shares his method of Narrative Health Coaching, a tool for creating powerful learning opportunities for growth and healing.  

Dr. Joel Kreisberg, DC, PCC, CCH, Executive Director of the Teleosis Institute, received his doctorate from New York Chiropractic College, a Masters of Arts from Prescott College, AZ, and a Bachelors of Arts from Wesleyan University, CT. He is an Integral Master Coach ™ through Integral Coaching Canada Inc and the lead co-author of Coaching and Healing.  “My commitment is help you recognize the potential for healing in our everyday aches and pains. By listening to your body, your feelings, and the power of nature, we can choose to create new opportunities for healing.” 

In September 2018 each member of the U.S. Congress and Supreme Court, the President and Vice President received a copy of Reggie Marra's Killing America: Our United States of Ignorance, Fear, Bigotry, Violence and Greed, a book of poems that explores our country's narrative of violence over a 25-year period.

In this interview, which took place before the books were sent, Dr. Gary Huffaker and Reggie discuss the role of narrative in healing--how honestly owning our story(ies), and learning how to tell a truthful story that helps us heal, rather than one that keeps us stuck, are essential steps for anyone interested in personal and/or cultural healing.
