Holistic Healers Morgan Rutkowski

Welcome back to another monthly Holistic Tips episode! This month we are talking about building trust (either for the first time or after it's been broken). Today, I introduce Brene Brown's BRAVING Inventory and some examples of each. Then, I explain how trust not only needs to be mutual between each person in the relationship, but it also needs to start intrinsically with ourselves. Finally, I end by posing the question: how can we ever begin to trust others if we cannot trust ourselves or not uphold each element of trust in ourselves first?

Relationships are an integral part of the human experience. In fact, humans are social creatures, and with that comes relationships! So whether that be friends, family members, coworkers, intimate ones, ex-partners, our kids, or our pets, we utilize partnerships to not only become closer with someone else but also as a way to grow as individuals and learn about ourselves. Today, I invited Lyndsey Fraser onto the show who is a licensed marriage and family therapist as well as a certified sex therapist and an enneagram specialist! In our episode, we talk about the basics of enneagrams and how to utilize them to enhance compassion and empathy toward our partners. We also explore the long-term relationship cycle and sex in our relationship.

So, we have all heard that communication is key to a healthy relationship. But what does that mean? And what does that look like? Often, we think we are communicating well but, in actuality, we are not in touch with our needs or our partner’s needs. We come across as defensive and it feels like our partner isn’t listening to us. Because of this, we start to have unnecessary arguments and it becomes two partners pinned against each other instead of them fighting the problem together. We also know that communication is a huge barrier in ourselves! The worse we communicate with ourselves, the worse we will see and feel and even change how we perceive the world!

So today, I invited on Dr. April Givens who is a leading Dallas psychotherapist, author, inspirational speaker, practice owner, and clinical supervisor. For 12 years, she has been making her mark in the mental health field and the business world with her "REAL" communication style and proven strategies and techniques that make her stand out among the rest. In her clinical work, she provides individual therapy for teens, couples, and adults under her practice and has been featured in several different articles and podcasts, and has written her own book!

Welcome back to another monthly Holistic Tips episode! This month we talking about Polyvagal Theory! I will first share information about Dr. Stephen Porges's theory and each of the nervous system parts that make up our bodies. After, I will share the symptoms you may experience in each. And most importantly, I will end by offering the best interventions to get ourselves out of our fight, flight, and freeze responses. Let's get into it!

The human body is complex and interconnected. When it's thriving, we feel great, and the brain is in charge of maintaining this physiological balance. However, if we suffer an injury, especially neurologically like a traumatic brain injury (TBI), our body’s systems become dysregulated, and we can begin to struggle to try to find that previous equilibrium again.

So today, I invited Dr. Michelle Eisenmann to join the show! She is a functional neurologist who has earned her doctorate degree in chiropractic, a master's degree in clinical neurology, and a bachelor's degree in kinesiology. She also specializes in functional neurology and helps patients recovering from neurological injuries such as concussions, TBIs, movement disorders, post-stroke rehabilitation strategies, vestibular disorders, and more!

Over the course of this podcast, I have brought on a variety of people sharing their expertise in services that could help you with your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. However, what does it mean to have a "holistic intervention"? What alternative healing methods could you try that could provide so many additional healing benefits?



Today, I wanted to bring on Lacey Katzer, a current holistic practitioner with immense experience and knowledge. She is a state and nationally-certified reflexologist here in Washington state, a certified yoga educator, a reiki level II practitioner, and an ayurvedic practitioner. She endorses how our society does not talk enough about holistic medicine and how Western and Eastern medicine could be used as complements to each other more often but aren't.
