It's this experience that fuels his passion for wellness and the transformative power of exercise. Beyond the professional, James is also a drummer in an alternative rock cover band, a loving father to his 15-year-old daughter, and a tech enthusiast. His practical approach to wellness has fostered successful partnerships, such as those with Element Counseling in Dallas, TX and Monarch Behavioral Health in San Antonio, TX, and has led to significant client achievements, from getting in shape, starting their own businesses to improved relationships and reduced levels of anxiety and depression.

Did you know? This is an interim bonus episode in which I bring some non-expert, but studied and researched clarification to many terms used in the mental health realm.

Oh my gosh! This episode is my jam! It was tough keeping the convo short, so in this will be so much helpful information! Pause and come back if you need to, there's a lot to digest!
Regulating the nervous system is a hot topic right now amongst the mental health community. Also, trauma is not just an obvious major one-time or series of events. Many of us have apparent, buried or hidden traumas that cause limitations in our life which in turn causes us to react without reason at times. Linda White and Andrei Knight join me in laying out the importance of neural rewiring, or neural reprogramming by connecting somatic and cognitive "resetting" in order to retrain your body-brain to disengage the trauma response. All parts of the self need attention in order to do this. Scientific resources mentioned can be found at: https://linktr.ee/healingwithsway.
