C15/33a. Am I really Homosexual? Where do these feelings stem from?

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest David Pickup aired August 18th-24th 

Confusion, many kids at some point have an attraction for the same sex, but does that mean they are bi-sexual or homosexual?

images

The shame and guilt that is imposed on then shuts them down and they never really get to look at why these feelings are there. Some come from sexual abuse some from misdirection, we need to talk about it and not dismiss or shame someone because of those feelings, and we need to understand if the are real or imposed on a person. If you’re straight or gay all is ok, but if you’re confused know why? UNDERSTAND TO SET FREE.

David Pickup, is licensed in California and Texas as a Marriage and Family Therapist, whose 2 private practices involve those undergoing authentic Reparative Therapy. After having great success with Reparative Therapy in his own life, he is now an experienced therapist who facilitates therapy for men that truly works to reduce or dissipate homosexual feelings and helps them experience their heterosexual potential.

Sound Psychodynamic Therapy
Healing wounds and unmet needs……Resolving causes of homosexuality

Gender Identity Inferiority, especially during a young child’s gender/sexuality developmental years, can be a traumatic experience that is reinforced with Shame-Based Self-Beliefs for many years. For the pre-homosexual boy, and for adult men, bullying and repetitive shaming of gender identity from primary male relationships, frequently imbed this soul-wrenching Shame into the mind of the struggler. The client experiences emotional wounds, (often repressed), that prevent the journey from boyhood into manhood from being fully realized. Maleness becomes an object to the struggler instead of something wonderful that is subjectively experienced. The result?…In puberty, when sexual hormones “kick in,” masculinity is objectified and sexualized.

The men that come to Reparative Therapy in the world today come because they believe in their hearts that Homosexuality, for them, is truly not inborn. They can feel it. But they often don’t know that change is possible, or what to do about it. I invite you to take a look at both sides of the issue, and make up your mind for yourself. The first rule of good scientific evidence for any issue is to be open to consideration of ALL the evidence. What do you think?

Homosexuality is inborn and unchangeable?
Homosexuality is not inborn and can be changed?

I encourage you to read everything you can about both sides. I have to be honest here. I don’t think you’ll find many Gay individuals or Gay affirmative therapists tell you to consider both sides. This is interesting because even the American Psychological Association states that there is no Gay gene. They also state that evidently, homosexuality could be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental influences. 

I encourage you toward find what fits for you.

Reparative Therapy helps a client resolve these wounds, which can result in the spontaneous lessening and/or dissipation of homosexual feelings. The wounds are replaced by confident subjective feelings of their own masculinity and self-esteem. Attractions for women can arise as well. Regardless, a man can move toward his authentic heterosexual self.

C15/28b Transparency: The Gender Identity Project New York

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Daphne Chan originally aired July 14th

TGIP-Shorter_DonaldWe are becoming a more embracing world of each others differences. We still have a long way to go in understanding and showing compassion for each other, but with work like Daphne is doing, we are a step further. 

Daphne is currently working on Transparency: The Gender Identity Project.

Daphne Chan’s work explores identity and how it reveals itself through gender, culture, sexuality and body image. With “The Flawless Sabrina” (2006) the fluidity of gender and sexuality were explored by documenting a drag queen named Jack Doroshow. The project delved into communal taboos of populations that rankle social precepts such as the gender identity of genderqueer: a person who identifies as a gender other than “man” or “woman”. The commonality is that all genderqueer people reject the notion that there are only two genders in the world as they believe binary gender is a social construct. 

DaphneChan_headshotNext, “Her Interior” (2007) examines the conceptual conflation between women’s bodies and domestic interiors, how the identification between self and interior is linked with women. Each woman interacts with features of her environment in order to explore how she occupies that particular physical and psychological space. The fragmentation of the bodies emphasizes the compartmentalization that is inherent in women’s identities. “Transparency: The Gender Identity Project” is a visual depiction of the LGBT and genderqueer community of New York that is unique and much needed. There is still a lack of visibility of specific identities and uncovering these identities will challenge the common stereotypes for what certain identities are expected to look like. It’s a powerful statement in visibility and diversity. The goal is to celebrate and encourage the expansion and public awareness of queer fluid expression. The transgender community has historically faced systemic discrimination and this project provides a platform for visibility, recognition and eventual acceptance. With each project, Chan attempts to reveal one more aspect of our identity and to distinguish the physical corporeal grounding in our bodies and the amorphous, socio-cultural precepts layered upon us.

P15/18b Tziporah on Sex Sensuality and Spirit

Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Tziporah Kingsbury originally aired  May 5th.

Tziporah  Bridges Sensuality, Sexuality and Spirituality.

1560437_933896796628477_4668368182246676686_n

Tziporahs mission is to awaken and empower individuals and couples to access and clear emotional suppressions, develop deep states of intimacy, cultivate the richness in communication and discover the keys to living a life of truth, presence and pleasure.

Tziporah Kingsbury (pronounced Zi-Por-Ah) is a groundbreaking intimacy expert, Integrative Breathwork Specialist and Spiritual Midwife who has dedicated her life for nearly 2 decades to being of service to helping others in transforming their lives and returning to truth, presence and pleasure.

Her roots are deep in shamanic practice, creating pathways to spiritual and emotional health. She has decades of training in many disciplines including Integrated Breath work (Transformational Breathwork ™), various yogic and shamanic traditions, movement therapy meditation, conscious communication empathy development, tantra, psycho-spiritual counselling, life coaching, body science and conscious sexuality. As well Tziporahs work has been influenced by her vast experience in various styles of bodywork, wholistic healing arts, “the work” by Byron Katie , self-inquiry, meditation.

Tziporah has been seen on ABC’s The Bachelor in 2015 where they named her “The Love Guru”. As well has been interview nationally and internationally for her work.

Tziporah’s initial focus began with an exploration of body consciousness early in her teens. As a young adult, she turned to bodybuilding, eventually establishing herself as an accomplished competitor and trainer. While she appreciated the discipline, she discovered wellness is about much more than the physical body.  She set her path to learning about all dimensions of the human experience—and began exploring many healing modalities.

Dedication to deepening her spirituality and expanding her expertise led her to spend years honing her skills in Switzerland where she trained in a variety of disciplines and first encountered Integrated Breathwork. The last layer of her skills was acquired through studying the Eastern and Western body of expertise and educational programs in human sexuality and inter-relating skills. This combination prepared Tziporah to develop her unique methodology for mentoring individuals and couples so they may find and experience that wellspring of intimacy and love within themselves and with their partners.

There is a fullness in her method that goes beyond merely constructing a process to enable romance, or a technique to act intimately. Essentially, Tziporah teaches how to live a wholistically intimate life.

Tziporah mentors her clients how to tap into their sexual power as a healing force. Her wisdom and training provide tools for cultivating interdependent relationships that thrive through empowering and compassionate communication. Under her guidance, relationships of all kinds thrive with power, truth and pleasure.

Those who work in sessions with her feel an instant understanding that they are safe, even as they are stretched beyond what their initial understandings are about themselves, about romance, about intimacy, even about love.

Tziporah helps people to feel safe again, to be still enough to listen to their bodies and to embrace their fears and emotions. Together with Tziporah her clients are able to enter in a world feeling centred, clear in who they are, confident, passionate, aware and present. She guides people to live so in touch with who they are and empowered to be seen, heard and felt that life turns from black and white to High Definition Color.

P14/33a The Flying Inspiration of the Feminine Cycle

 Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Gabriella Guglielminotti Trivel, aired in August 19th on.

ggt

Gabriella Guglielminotti Trivel is also known as “The Flying Witch” due to her wit and passion for flying, she is an Italian linguist who started working in Italy as a tour leader, interpreter and then moved to UK. She worked in the travel business for several years and then, due to being made redundant from work, she decided to pursue her other passion in life, the human mind and it’s potential.

She trained in Neuro Linguistic Programming and investigated several alternative therapies like Reiki, Shiatsu, Aura Soma, the De Martini method, Macrobiotics, Do-in, Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy, The Journey, The Work which all gave her a better and holistic understanding of the human being that we all are.

I am an author, speaker, visionary and coach who educates women about their feminine cycle and helps them gain confidence, authority and fulfillment from their body and in life. I became interested in this field because I was missing my cycles due to a very stressful period of my life and looked for help and information about menstruation.

I didn’t find much until I discovered Alexandra Pope and her work which opened up for me a whole new world: the feminine cycle and its energies. Since then my life hasn’t been the same! That’s why I am so passionate about this subject and I want to reach as many women as possible to share with them a more satisfying way to live and be empowered. Learning about our own feminine cycle also helps to communicate with our partners and the world in a better way, a more feminine way so that we can achieve better intimacy and better relationships.

Would you like to help me in my mission?

Since 2009 she helps women to discover their potential through their menstrual cycle, something that still to these days is considered taboo and is called “the curse”. She does workshops and personal sessions with women to share her knowledge and personal experience of her feminine cycle and with men to help them understand how women work and how to be an aware partner to deepen their intimate relationships.

Her vision is to create the woman of the XXI century who is totally in line with herself, her beliefs, her body and her vision so to re-harmonise the Planet and create a more harmonious way of living for both men and women.
