Kaleidoscope of Possibilities

What if "mental health" isn't everything we've been told? What if there's more to it than just a “brain chemistry imbalance?” What if what we consider a pathology is actually an ability and a possibility? What if these are not permanent conditions but ones, that with the proper interventions, can actually be changed? Welcome to the Kaleidoscope of Possibilities: Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, a podcast hosted by Dr. Adriana Popescu, a licensed psychologist, addiction and trauma specialist, and empowerment coach. In each episode, Dr. Adriana examines what is beyond the traditional point of view of mental health diagnosis, care, and treatment. She speaks with leaders and visionaries in the fields of Energy Psychology, consciousness, healing, and empowerment about what is beyond what we have decided we know about mental illness. She also explores the unique and fascinating stories of individuals, and those who care for them, who have used “alternative” treatments and paths to recovery. This show is a journey of discovering the possibilities of holistic care and treatment through a variety of lenses: from the spiritual to the shamanic, the naturopathic and beyond. Each conversation is designed to empower listeners to embrace their own awareness, gifts and capacities, and to create a greater world with them.

    To watch the video of this podcast, please go to: https://youtu.be/zR216id1MUQ   How can somatic healing help release trauma stored in the body and create lasting change? How can you break the cycle of fear and step into your true potential? Are you ready to take the next step in your healing journey and reclaim your power after trauma?   In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities – Alternative Perspectives on Mental Health, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by fascia and body healing expert Julia Blackwell. They discuss how trauma is held in the body and the importance of integrating mind and body in the healing process. With years of experience in somatic healing, Julia offers practical tools to help you reconnect with your body and start your journey to heal from trauma. She shares her experiences of learning to understand the body’s role in healing trauma and how somatic approaches can be used to release fear and pain. The conversation offers practical guidance on how to reclaim your personal power, heal deeply stored trauma, and find support within a healing community. Julia’s approach emphasizes the mind-body connection, encouraging listeners to integrate both for true and lasting recovery.   In this episode: • The physical and emotional impacts of trauma and how they manifest in the body • Tools and techniques for somatic healing • The importance of reclaiming personal power after trauma • How to break free from cycles of fear and disempowerment • The role of community in healing from trauma   Resources mentioned in this episode: Movement by Julia: https://www.movementbyjulia.com/ Roller Remedy Course: https://www.movementbyjulia.com/roller-remedy The Fascia Remedy: https://www.movementbyjulia.com/thefasciaremedy Julia’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/movementbyjulia Conscious Recovery, Conscious Creation, and Conscious Being: https://www.tjwoodward.com/read   About Julia: Julia Blackwell is a fascia release practitioner, educator, and creator of The Fascia Remedy.  Julia was born with severe nerve damage to her right shoulder and grew up going through the broken Western medicine system. After 23 years of being told her condition would never improve and feeling no lasting relief from any treatments, she was introduced to a unique type of fascia-release bodywork in 2010. In just 3 months of this fascia-specific work, she saw more improvement in the feel and function of her arm than she had in 16 years of traditional treatments!  This experience catapulted Julia into learning everything she could about fascia, the critical roles it plays in our movement and overall health, and how to restore it. After learning multiple modalities and working with clients for 12 years, she formulated her own approach for bodywork & foam rolling work called The Fascia Remedy. Using this methodology, she's been able to solve her own bouts of low back, knee, and neck pain in a matter of days, as well as help others quickly alleviate pain, restore movement, and perform at their best. Julia has captivated a community of thousands with her unique bodywork, her fresh take on foam rolling, and her approach to discovering the root source of their pain. Her combination of fascia release, postural alignment, and mindset magic has earned her the nickname “The Pain Relief Wizard" from her community of both professional athletes and everyday movers.   “The body holds onto trauma, and it’s only when we acknowledge that and work with the body that true healing can occur.” – Julia   Would you like to continue this conversation and connect with other people who are interested in exploring these topics?
