On November 4th we’ll be speaking with author and Spiritual Guidance Mentor, Lynda Wisdo, about the benefits that mind/body healing practices can bring to trauma survivors. A survivor of childhood trauma and dissociation, in 2005 Lynda experienced a “psycho-spiritual” crisis that, after a brief stay in an acute care psychiatric facility, led her to embark on an intense healing journey that included a variety of mind/body practices. Dream exploration, yoga and movement therapy, creative writing, massage therapy, hypnotherapy---these are just some of the tools Lynda used to resolve the challenges of her crisis and heal. Today, Lynda’s hope is to use what she learned through her crisis and her healing to help other trauma survivors find the mind/body tools that might enable them to overcome some of the challenges they may be facing. As part of this mission, Lynda has written a memoir about her experience and the feminine aspects of mind/body healing titled Menopause In Crisis—When Spiritual Emergency Meets the Feminine Midlife Passage. Lynda holds an MA degree in Transpersonal Studies/Spiritual Mentoring and is a certified yoga instructor, Reiki Practitioner, and Transpersonal Hypnotist. You can read more about her memoir and the mind/body practices she uses on her websites at:

Radio Interview With Dr. Jamie Turndorf~~
The Secret Reason Why Menopause Makes Many Women Suffer
Are you struggling with menopause? Or is someone you know and love (and sometimes hate!) struggling?
Join me this week for a fascinating discussion with Lynda Wyzda (Wisdo), author of Menopause in Crisis: The Summer I Lost My Mind.
In this week’s show, I will reveal the little known fact that menopause can expose pre-existing psychological fault lines. In fact, it is our unhealed Old Scars from childhood that exacerbate the physical and psychological symptoms associated with menopause.
In this episode of Ask Dr. Love Radio, I’m going to show you how this suffering can be a springboard to healing oneself body, mind and soul.
In Lynda’s case, buried memories of childhood abuse came crashing to consciousness, causing all kinds of emotional and physical upheaval, including a racing heart, anxiety and panic…
After over four years of struggle, Lynda emerged from the ashes. Her journey back to health led to certifications in Transpersonal Studies/Spiritual Mentoring and Transpersonal Hypnosis, Yoga, and Reiki. Tune in to find out the best mind/body practices for healing yourself or someone you love.

I'm honored to have been selected to read one of my poems at the upcoming Singing in the Dark--Poetry of Courage/Poetry of Witness Event to be held at The Carey Center for Global Good in Rensselaerville, NY on April 30th! This event will be bringing together both featured and regional poets whose work seeks to give voice to some of the turbulent issues facing our culture today. The poem I will be reading is titled, "Enough is Enough." For more information, please see the press release below. Hope to see some of you at The Carey Center on the 30th!
Singing in the Dark: Poetry of Courage/Poetry of Witness
The turbulent issues of the 21st Century (including those related to refugees, terrorism, racism, nationalism, gender, age, free speech, mental health, climate and war) have resulted in a particularly fertile time for poetry as well as for other forms of artistic expression. Poetry speaks to our deepest fears as well as hopes. Around the world, poets are not only writing in reaction to the issues of the day, but they are also confronting these new times with new poetic forms such as documentary poetry, ecopoetry, spoken word/slam poetry, multi-genre expression, etc. .
The Singing in the Dark event seeks to pack into two-hours an introduction to poets who use both traditional and new forms to address the challenges of living in these uncertain times, as well as to poets who have addressed historical events with similar urgency. You will hear poems by regional poets as well as readings (by guest readers) of poems by well-known poets. The diverse voices of those moved to engage these issues, including the often unfamiliar poetry of indigenous peoples, will be represented in both this event and the Huyck Preserve event.
