  2. Understand & Heal from Modern Trauma with Dr. Christine Gibson, MD

    Understand & Heal from Modern Trauma with Dr. Christine Gibson, MD

    For this episode, my guest Dr. Christine Gibson, MD, CCFP is a family doctor and trauma therapist in equity-denied communities, author of The Modern Trauma Toolkit, and goes by “tiktoktraumadoc" on TikTok.  In our talk, we explore modern trauma and how to recognize, process and potentially heal from it.  Trauma is more pervasive in society than we realize, and our healers—including doctors and therapists—often lack the adequate tools and time to address these deep-seated issues. This is a topic many of us doctors weren’t taught much about in medical school and patients often struggle to articulate their feelings surrounding it. And whether we are doctors or patients, we struggle because of this collective gap in proper knowledge around trauma. Fortunately, Dr. Gibson offers valuable insights to help fill in the gap. We define modern trauma and why it has become so problematic, how we can heal and move forward from trauma, the difference between resilience and post-traumatic growth, and so much more.  While we still have a long way to go in understand trauma, healing is possible for anyone willing to seek it.  I hope that our discussion helps you to better understand modern trauma and to more effectively heal from your own trauma wounds.

    Finding Grace in Grief with AmarAtma Khalsa

    To kick off this brand new season, we discuss grief with AmarAtma Khalsa, a Grief Specialist and Coach.  With a dual Master's Degree in Chinese Medicine and Ministry as well as experience as a Board Certified Chaplain at both adult and children's hospitals, AmarAtma integrates a variety of practices including somatic exercises, breathing techniques, mindfulness, and self-love.  This unique approach helps alleviate the heaviness, overwhelm, and powerlessness that often comes with grief, which ultimately, can help any person transform their life after loss.  In this episode, we first tackle the definition of grief. We explore why grief is not talked about nearly enough with one another (and why we should).  Amaratma then helps to distinguish between healthy versus unhealthy ways of grieving. We also discuss the importance of grief work for better health and practical approaches for those in the active grieving process.  And we have a special offer this season with short guided meditations at the end of the episodes so you can practice on your own and revisit them at any time.  To anyone who has experienced loss, big or small, and suffered from grief, I dedicate this episode, from my heart to yours. I truly hope that this discussion helps you along your journey of healing.  Connect with AmarAtma: Instagram Facebook Youtube Connect with Dr. Jonar, MD: Book Your Free Health Coaching Consult with Dr. Jonar 4 Truth Health Coaching Instagram Facebook Linkedin Threads Dr. Jonar Website HOW CAN I SUPPORT THIS PODCAST?

    The New Trailer: Glass Half Healthy 2024 and Beyond

    Why does something bad have to happen to our health before we finally feel motivated to do something about it?  As a society, we react to health problems rather than prevent them.  From grade school to college, no one is teaching us how to be healthy and stay that way.  So, I did research to create my own plan.  Through the process, my body returned to its natural state of being because I redefined health for myself.  This begs the question - how do you define health?  I am Dr. Jonar and this is my podcast, the Glass Half Healthy!  As a trained physician and CEO of 4 Truth Health Coaching, I will help redefine health and wellbeing through conversations with thought provoking guests. So, join me on this journey as we walk together on the path of healthier living.
