Dr. Linda Sanicola
My show is designed to give you the information that you can use to be the best you can be! We will provide tools, techniques, and knowledge that will educate and empower you. While we will cover a variety of topics, our primary focus will be on Emotional Freedom Technique, or Tapping, and how it can make a profound difference in money, relationships, weight loss and general well-being. It can offer rapid help with many of the most commonly experienced problems in life, anxiety, depression, stress and fear. Our experts are clinicians who have the ability to speak to people in a way they can understand and make use of right away. We will share newer ideas in practical psychology that often allow us to cut to the heart of the matter and make a real difference in people’s lives.

Unlock your healing potential with Brain Balancing LifeWave Patches! Are you interested in feeling and looking younger and healthier naturally? Be sure and join us for this show as I interview Dr. Karen Kan, bestselling author of Guide to Healing Chronic Pain - a Holistic Approach, about how she discovered the key to unlock the body's healing potential. Having been disabled with fibromyalgia, depression and chronic fatigue syndrome, Dr. Kan sought natural and energetic therapies to heal herself because nothing in conventional medicine could help her. Along the way, she was introduced to phototherapy patches that worked like acupuncture without needles. Being a born skeptic, Dr. Kan didn't think anything so small, inexpensive and portable could possibly work, but she tried them anyway. Within a short period of time of using these patches Dr. Kan's fatigue improved immensely and she became a fan of this product. Tune in to learn more about how this technology can help you too!

This week we will be talking with Saj Razvi, LPC, about healing trauma, addictions and stress. Saj will share information with us about the Trauma Recovery Protocol, a new treatment model that focuses on organic body processes to resolve stress and trauma. This method supports the release of the traumatic charge which is “locked” in the nervous system as a result of trauma. While thoughts and beliefs are important, the autonomic nervous system is the primary location where the traumatic charge is held and where symptoms develop. Current thinking and research supports the idea that addictions and many mental health issues have at their root unresolved trauma. The TRP allows a “body based” model which can be used with other therapeutic approaches to aid in healing.
