This episode is sponsored by PearsonRavitz– an agency dedicated to supporting physicians on their journey to getting the right insurance.

#190: De-Adrenalizing and Understanding Trauma with Dr. David Bonanno
This episode is sponsored by PearsonRavitz– an agency dedicated to supporting physicians on their journey to getting the right insurance. Our next guest is a Connecticut psychologist and PTSD survivor, Dr. David Bonanno, who has developed a groundbreaking therapy for trauma psychology that challenges conventional methods used in allopathic medicine. This episode revolves around the potential impact of redefining and destigmatizing conditions like "being adrenalized" compared to traditional PTSD. The main question is how this change might influence individuals in seeking help and treatment for their symptoms. This suggests that a shift in terminology and perception could encourage more people to acknowledge their symptoms and seek assistance without the fear of judgment or reluctance commonly associated with the term PTSD. Looking for something specific? Here you go 00:03:00 PTSD and chronic stress similarities. 00:08:01 Adrenaline can be pathological. 00:14:09 Trauma therapy can help heal. 00:21:05 PTSD is different from anxiety. 00:21:34 PTSD is not easily overcome. 00:28:56 Unplugging and social connection are important for mental health. 00:32:46 Social connection is crucial. 00:39:33 Rewriting trauma can heal. 00:44:56 Rapid healing through subconscious work. 00:51:54. Changing the narrative heals trauma. 00:56:38 Cat brain controls human behavior. 01:01:30 Cannabis can help with PTSD. 01:03:45 Cannabis strains can target specific symptoms. 01:08:55 Understanding limits helps with PTSD. Bio: Dr. Bonanno is the Freshest, Boldest Voice in Trauma Psychology today. And he has developed a dynamite therapy that is better than all the rest. Almost everyone who promises a way to get past your past has a method that involves time, money, work, and pain and everything else thrown against the wall as a “cure” for life’s hardships. PTSD has been the biggest topic in Psychology for 10+ years now. Because that’s what therapists still cannot heal. David Bonanno is a Connecticut psychologist and PTSD survivor who has been helping people since 1993. He is the first person in America to begin to qualify patients for Medical Marijuana by evaluating them for PTSD. His company, Bonanno Mental Healthcare, has assisted over 16,000 needy people in gaining access to medicine that is much better than pharmaceuticals. Dr. Bonanno is the inventor of De-Adrenalizing, a revolutionary and rapidly-growing therapy that heals sufferers of all psychological traumas, and the author of Your Brain is a Robocat: How to Finally Understand Your Trauma Response. This book is easy to read but will transform the reader’s conceptualization of how the human brain functions before and after trauma. When people are finally able to understand themselves, they no longer have to blame and hate themselves. Our Advice! Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.
