C23-45. Jackie Heller, MD, Our Inner Saboteur.

November 6, 2023November 6, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Jackie Heller MD, on air from November 7th

The Big Idea: Deeply hidden fears, hurts, and longings may lead to symptoms and eventually maladaptive behaviors. Such unhealed wounds may become acute or chronic triggers if our defenses against the reservoir of pain are failing. They can be triggered by a person, object, smell, sound, dream, illness, or more. Our buried memories and emotions surface in ways that may sabotage us.

The So-What: Knowing our emotions and the shifts in the here and now is crucial since our feelings are rooted in past events that may have no obvious context today, yet control our attitudes and behaviors in ways we don’t understand. An effective way to confront our inner life, including an inner saboteur, is to get in touch with shifts in our body that can help us label our emotions and interpret and understand our feelings. Mindful self-reflection enables us to become aware of buried events from our past. Such reflection is a two-part process of focused self-exploration that involves going inward and upward — identifying our physical sensations and labeling our emotions, and then thinking about what they mean. It involves introspectating, combining introspective (looking inward) with spectate (looking on as a spectator).

Key Messages: Heller reveals the mental pursuit needed to understand negative behavior patterns, and addresses:

· Why it’s necessary to improve our connection to our unconscious mind in order to have fulfilling adult relationships

· How our minds bury events from our past, and why we must pay attention to emotional triggers and physical sensations

· What healthy and unhealthy attachment styles look like and how we develop them

· Why we should be concerned about the dangers of disconnection that come with our reliance on social media

· How to use self-reflection and mindful meditation to better understand uncomfortable thoughts and feelings

MH23-45. Lori Chenger, Mind Hostage Negotiator

November 6, 2023February 28, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Lori Chenger, on air from November 7th

Mindset Inside-Out. How to thrive internally in an external world.

Receiving a 2022 award nomination for the Global Institute for Evolutionary Women in the field of education, a category for recognizing women who teach, inspire, and educate others, is both an honour for Lori and symbolic of how life educated her to be where she needs to be.

Until Lori learned how to become a hostage negotiator of the mind, she kept creating life from the poverty of thinking that one can easily adopt from an unhealthy family narrative.
By age eleven, Lori experienced sexual abuse twice, grew up without running water, indoor plumbing, and electricity. Watching others make decisions based in addictions was a great teacher on how to live small and alone. This life was also a precursor to a marriage grounded in addictions and abuse. When you change the way you look at the things, the things you look at change. Once you learn how to get out of your own way and build a wealthy mindset, life will change and forgiveness is possible.

Two of her passion projects are helping youth be seen, heard, and understood by becoming a board member for the platforms run by Dr. Ali Lankerani whose mission it is to educate children, youth, and parents and her work with immigrants through the African Canadian Performing Arts Foundation.
Lori’s message is simple, clear, and direct. Your age and circumstances do not hold you back, your mind does. When you are ready to grow forward, contact Lori to speak at your organization, facilitate an an engaging workshop, or benefit through her coaching mentorship.

Lori is the 2023 Educator of The Year winner from the Rise to Greater Heights Foundation. The award acknowledges the accomplishments of individuals who lead, teach, and inspire all learners. Lori is an international motivational speaker and 3x international best selling co-author. Last seen speaking on the stage at Cambridge University in the UK and co-authoring a book with Marie Diamond, Lori is thrilled to be a part of this project that brings our youth to the light for empowered success. The sky is not the limit-your mindset is!

MH23-38. Nick Motycka from PTSD to Breakthrough.

September 18, 2023September 17, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Nick Motycka, on air September 19th

After a 15 plus year career in law enforcement I had unresolved trauma to process. After a breakthrough, formerly known as a breakdown, I knew that I needed to face these traumas and set off on a path to do just that. But, after a year and half of traditional therapies I was not getting back to myself. With my back up against the wall I found a Shaman / Psychologist and psychedelic assisted therapy. In one afternoon, I not only faced my collected traumas but I successfully processed them.

After experiencing this profound healing, I am on a mission to share my story to show others that there is hope and alternatives to traditional western therapies. My story has the potential to help anyone suffering with unprocessed trauma. Healing is very possible and leads to growth, as my story will show.

Nick grew up in Alberta with a father who was a member of the RCMP. This along with his wounded inner child had a major influence on his law enforcement career choice. Nick went on to spend his entire adult life, 23 years, in various enforcement related positions; security, loss prevention, bylaw services, Canada Customs, Court and Prisoner Services, as a regular member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and finally as a member of the Calgary Police Service. Nick spent time on the street with both agencies, in a Crime Reduction Unit, Drug Unit, Drug Undercover Street Team, Gang Suppression Team and finally a short stint in the Public and Media Relations Unit before his breakthrough, formally known as a breakdown, on September 16th, 2020.

Nick was diagnosed with PTSD and set off on a journey to finally process the traumas collected during his career in law enforcement. A year and half in, countless psychologist and occupational therapist appointments later, he was able to finally get the help that he needed; one psilocybin assisted therapy session. With clear intentions and a strong willingness to do the work, Nick went from severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for any diagnosis.

With a new sense of clarity and the amazing support of his family, Nick resigned from the only profession that he had ever known. Nick now spends his time sharing his story of healing and post traumatic growth while going all in on his dream to bring consciously made, natural fiber clothing to the world through his apparel brand; Flow State Designs!

MH23-35. Deborah L. Staunton and (DMDD)

August 28, 2023December 30, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy and her guest Deborah L. Staunton, on air from August 29th

Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a condition in which children or adolescents experience ongoing irritability, anger, and frequent, intense temper outbursts. The symptoms of DMDD go beyond a “bad mood.” DMDD symptoms are severe.

I am the daughter of a mentally ill alcoholic father and the mother of a mentally ill daughter. At that time it was a brand new diagnosis, very little was known about it and there were no resources for parents. Now that she is 18, her diagnoses have changed and while they are still challenging, I have insight and clarity that I didn’t have then. Sharing my experience and what I learned from it can help parents who are on that difficult journey with their own kids. It can save them some heartache and provide validation and support. Mental illness still has a lot of stigma associated with it and removing that stigma is an important step in supporting those who suffer from it and those who love them.

Deborah L. Staunton was raised by a mentally ill father and is raising a mentally ill daughter. She came to motherhood late after enduring four miscarriages and despite having an extensive background in Early Childhood Education, has had an extremely difficult journey in raising two neurodivergent children. Writing has been Deborah’s lifeline and her passion since childhood and has kept her grounded when her life was unravelling.
