George Damascus Bio:

Some would call it love at first site! George and Dr. Bob first met when George and his wife were in the hospital delivering their baby girl and Dr. Bob was their pediatrician. "Our daughter Karissa was the inspiration and introduction to an amazing friendship and collaboration between Dr. Hamilton and my family."

For over 20 years, George has been formulating and developing high quality and highly effective skin and hair care products to the medical, aesthetic, and retail markets. He has contributed to developing products for several top brands, hundreds of doctors offices and has developed over 150 products in his career.

The idea for Hamilton Babies was conceived when George became a father and felt that there were few skin and hair care products that he felt comfortable giving to his son and daughter. He and Dr. Bob came to the realization that they could combine their respective experiences and expertise to fill this gap in the market. Hamilton Babies is their passion project.

Join us for the latest episode of The Hamilton Review Podcast! In this conversation, Dr. Bob sits down with LMFT, Jon Sorensen for an in depth and informative discussion about adverse childhood experiences, when to seek therapy and the impact on adulthood.

Enjoy this great conversation and share with a friend!

Jon is a published author, teacher and education researcher. Through his work with families as a teacher, he recognized that many "learning challenges" or "behavioral issues" were in fact, a result of emotional struggles, generational trauma, and unbalanced family dynamics. Having found a field that demanded he use all his analytical, scientific, creative, existential and philosophical impulses, Jon began working on a specialization in healing developmental trauma, PTSD and resulting mental health struggles. How now operates a thriving therapy practice in Santa Monica CA.

Leveraging newfound knowledge developed by people like Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, Elaine Miller-Karas, Francine Shapiro, Eugene Gendlin, Laurel Parnell and others, Jon continues to apply the most effective treatments for his clients while happily donating his time to speak to individuals and groups to educate people about how much is known and how much is available to us now that did not exist 30 years ago. Jon asserts that 30 years ago, you had to learn to cope with and accept many mental health challenges. Now, you can actually reset your nervous system and live free of traumatizing experiences.

Join us for the latest episode of The Hamilton Review Podcast! In this riveting conversation, Dr. Bob sits down with childhood friend and author Larry Bradley to discuss his book, "Trials."

An intense and true story about childhood cancer, you are not going to want to miss this important conversation.

Larry Bradley's Bio:

Larry Bradley grew up in Eureka, California, a small lumber and fishing town on the coast of Northern California. He later relocated to Oregon, where he earned a business degree from Linfield College in 1988. After building a successful 30-year business career in Eugene, Oregon, Bradley retired in 2018.

He and Mary Lou, his wife of forty years, enjoy hiking, camping, and travel. They have two grown sons and two grandchildren.

Bradley has volunteered for the better part of two decades for the American Cancer Society's annual Relay for Life and for the American Childhood Cancer Organization, the premier support group for children with cancer in the United States. He has volunteered as an aide on the pediatric oncology floor at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. Bradley is personally acquainted with scores of families who have a child with cancer.

Trials is Bradley's first book. He followed his nephew's leukemia journey through multiple remissions and relapses, through an experimental bone marrow transplant, and watched him fight the disease until his eventual death at age thirteen. The author experienced first-hand the shock of having his son receive the same leukemia diagnosis eight years after his nephew's death, and he witnessed the miracle of his son's survival due to the prior clinical trials, including those his cousin participated in.
