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.
This week, Dodge and Victoria Castle are continuing their conversation on her book, “The Trance of Scarcity,” with a special focus on the Cycle of Abundance, building a routine of breaking out of the trance and focusing instead on myriad possibility around us.
In “The Trance of Scarcity,” Victoria Castle drills deeply into the heart of our inner imposter and churns there. It skewers our limiting beliefs and negative self identity in a way that’s both real and gentle at the same time. This week, she sits down with Dodge to talk about it.
This week we’re talking about Lance Bennett, Professor Emeritus and the founding director for the Center for Communication and Civic Engagement at University of Washington. His speciality, political science and civic engagement. He joined us last week to talk about politics, partisanship, and the climate crisis, and today we’re going to try and pull that conversation apart.
