Change is a given of life, perhaps even the point of it. And now more than ever, it’s everywhere we look. But how well do we understand it? Psychologist Dr. Dodge Rea and guests explore the mysterious, paradoxical nature of successful change.
Dodge Rea, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and certified Practitioner of Medical Qigong, approaches therapy with the philosophy that therapists should nurture growth like gardeners, rather than fix problems like mechanics. He emphasizes the innate healing capacity within his clients, offering a sanctuary free from judgment, and employs various techniques, including his own innovations such as the g.r.a.c.e. sequence and Inter-Subjective Somatic Attunement (ISSA). With a background that includes a PsyD from Nova Southeastern University and a clinical internship at Vanderbilt University, Rea founded the Lotus Center in Nashville, TN, and has integrated his work with varied holistic practices. He has been influenced by numerous fields, leading to an approach he terms Integrative Clinical Psychology. Rea, who also enjoys T’ai Chi, meditation, and family life, is currently authoring a book on the g.r.a.c.e. sequence and has served on the board of the Nashville Psychotherapy Institute. His practice is a blend of psychological, somatic, and spiritual elements designed to reconnect individuals to their core self and facilitate deep transformation.
It’s money week and that’s scary. Jobs won and lost. Health care, insurance, education. Bills coming due. Major, unexpected expenses. It’s no understatement to say that how we relate to money defines how we relate to the world around us. Ted and Brad Klontz are here to help.
This week Dodge and I do our best to unpack this conversation with Lynne. We come at this discussion from very different perspectives so much of this week is devoted not so much to Lynne and her work, but to how we approach those things that run counter to our worldview.
Journalist and author Lynne McTaggart joins Dodge today to talk about her work. She’s written seven best-selling books, but they start by approaching her work chronicling the research of scientists in the field of consciousness and her own observations of the power of intention.
Pete and Dodge dish on the Trance of Scarcity and Victoria Castle’s perspective on generosity.
