Alyssa Scolari [00:23]:
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Light After Trauma podcast. I'm your host, Alyssa Scolari. I am sitting here today with the wonderful Robert Strock. Robert is a psychotherapist, teacher, and humanitarian. He's also the author of a book that we are going to talk about today called Awareness That Heals, an expression of the powerful tools that Robert has developed over a lifetime of inspired exploration.
He has hundreds of online videos, blogs, and guided meditations, which I tried, by the way, and are fantastic, that he has shared with therapists, psychology students, social workers, caregivers, and seekers of their own inspiration. In addition to this, 20 years ago, Robert co-founded the Global Bridge Foundation, whose mission it is to continue on the creation of a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world that honors the dignity of all beings. This foundation is a part of a united effort to support systems for global change and economic inequality. Most recently, he has two podcasts that are coming out. As if he wasn't busy enough, now he is coming out in... You said April, right, Robert?
Robert Strock [01:44]:
Yes, yes.
Alyssa Scolari [01:45]:
In April, he has two podcasts coming out, one that is based off of the book, Awareness That Heals, and then one is... Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the one that's tied to the Global Bridge Foundation, right?
Robert Strock [01:59]:
That's correct. It's really tied into homelessness, regenerative agriculture, and immigration reform.
Alyssa Scolari [02:08]:
All right. Welcome. How did I do with that bio?
Robert Strock [02:11]:
That was pretty good on the fly.
Alyssa Scolari [02:15]:
I did do that on the fly. Thank you. Thank you. Well, welcome. Welcome.
Robert Strock [02:21]:
Great to be here. Thanks for inviting me.
Alyssa Scolari [02:25]:
For the listeners out there, Robert and I connected on LinkedIn. We had had a conversation back in January of 2021, so this year, about his book. He was kind enough to send me a copy of his book, Awareness That Heals. It took me some time to get through it. It's an incredible book. I really wanted to have him on the show. Even just after my first conversation with him, it's very easy to tell how passionate he is and how much knowledge he has on healing, especially knowing his personal story.
I wanted to bring him on the show today to talk about this book because he really has developed tools that I think are helpful for everybody, especially going through difficult times. As I was just saying before we started recording, right when I got this book was when I started to go through a lot of health issues and a lot of health scares. Reading this book truly helped me to be able to ground myself during times when I felt so anxious and so worried about my health. Thank you so much, Robert, for sending me this incredible book.
Robert Strock [03:49]:
Well, you're very welcome. Thank you for being willing to share yourself personally, which is such
