The Heart of a Man

“

T

here goes another one of those electric bikes!” My husband, Jim, notices e-bikes and likes to bring them to my attention when we are out and about. I never understood the attraction until reading this month’s Fitbody column, The Exercise Power of E-Bikes [page 28]. I’ve learned that contrary to my immediate assumption, an e-bike can actually provide some exercise value.

The author shares that both the e-bike and conventional bike provide moderate-intensity cardiovascular activity leading to a similar amount of heart-health benefit. Keeping our hearts healthy is a priority for us, so this might be a fun activity to explore. I may need to pay more attention next time one crosses our path.

Red wine, in moderation, has long been though of as heart healthy due to its antioxidants. Since red wine is a popular choice in our household, this month’s Conscious Eating column, Planet-Friendly Pours, offers something to consider [page 20]. There are more than 70 additives that are allowed in wine that don’t have to be disclosed on the label. Some wine labels tout that they’re made with organic grapes or grapes that are farmed sustainably. “But those may still have a host of other additives or lots of added sulfites,” says Brad Kruse, a Milwaukeebased specialty wine retailer. I like the idea of finding naturally made wines for an even healthier option.

In this issue, we focus on men’s health. In our feature article, The Healing of the Modern Man, we look at how more men are learning to embody emotional freedom [page 16]. In Healing Trauma, we explore a variety of treatment options that can be combined to treat the mind, body, and spirit [page 22]. And in our online exclusive articles we reflect on The Gift of an Imperfect Father, consider digital detoxing in Unplugged Adventures, and discover tips for humans in Misbehaving Dog Walks. (Just visit my-NA.com.) This Father’s Day, I hope you celebrate the men in your life and incorporate some heart-healthy activities to share the love.

Happy Father’s Day,

Kris Urquhart, Publisher

ee De Barriault, owner of Natural Pet Specialty Shop, announces the next Canine and Feline Anesthesia-free Dental Clinic will be held on June 10 and 11.

A dental technician under the supervision of a veterinarian will perform this unique and cost-effective dental service. The veterinarian first does a wellness check to ensure the animal is healthy enough for the procedure. Before the procedure is started, essential oils are administered to calm and relax the pet while a technician holds the animal to reassure and soothe them.

The pet’s teeth are scaled and plaque and tarter are removed before polishing them to a shine. The cleaning takes 30-45 minutes depending on the condition of the teeth. If any oral problems are discovered, such as: loose teeth, lesions, fractures, or something more serious, the patient will be referred to their own veterinarian.

“This specialized technique is gentle, thorough, and drug-free,” says De Barriault.

“Anesthesia-free dental cleaning is a great tool to manage bad breath and plaque buildup and avoid early signs of periodontal disease. We also offer a selection of dental products and formulas for maintenance between dental cleanings.”

Appointments are limited; call 321-259-3005 to secure a spot. Natural Pet Specialty Shop is located at 2255 Wickham Rd, Melbourne.

Advanced, Professional Teeth Whitening in West Melbourne

M

assages with Purpose and Skin Care is pleased to announce their advanced, professional Teeth Whitening services affiliated with Beaming White. “Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you so why not make it a bright one,” says Ginger Taylor, owner. “Having a whiter smile can help build confidence and leave a long-lasting impression.”

This treatment involves guided application instruction of the teeth whitening gel which contains between 16% - 25% hydrogen peroxide. Once the whitening agent is placed on the surface of your teeth, the blue light activates the whitening agent and starts a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction helps to penetrate the tooth’s dentin layer, lift existing stains in a quick and efficient manner, and provide intense whitening. Treatments include three to four 15-minute applications. Maintenance is recommended every 3-4 months, depending on the amount of coffee, soda, tea, or red wine consumption.

“Massages with Purpose and Skin Care is the ultimate destination for world class integrated massage therapy, teeth whitening, and organic, clinical, and plant-based skin care,” says Taylor. “Clients leave happy, relaxed, and completely fulfilled.”

o celebrate the grand opening of Brevard Hypnosis, JC Jones is offering a limited number of free hypnosis sessions to people in the community.

One of her missions as a professional hypnotist is to educate the community on what hypnosis really is and introduce them to its therapeutic applications.

Cutting-edge Software for Heart Attack Prevention

Y

ale (Yoel) R. Smith, MD, at the Center for Antiaging Aesthetic and Rejuvenation Medicine, is excited to be offering Cleerly technology for heart evaluation. This revolutionary software measures atherosclerosis in the blood vessels of the heart after a coronary computerized tomography angiography (CCTA) is ordered.

Arterial plaque can form lesions in the arterial wall. These lesions build up over time in the blood vessels supplying the heart (coronary arteries) and can then rupture causing a heart attack or Myocardial Infarction causing damage to the heart or sudden death. Research shows the average age for the first heart attack is age 65 for males and 72 for females. However, the age of sudden fatal heart attack is age 50.

“Heart disease killed nearly 700,000 individuals in the U.S in year 2020; this was twice that of Covid 19 in the same year,” says Dr. Smith.

“Astonishingly, 70% of patients that suffer a heart attack are considered low risk by the traditional methods used. A comprehensive evaluation of the atherosclerosis plaque along with a holistic approach to heart health can prevent heart damage or a heart attack.”

For more information, call the Center for Antiaging Aesthetic and Rejuvenation Medicine (CAARM) at 321-421-7111. The CCTA is covered by insurance with appropriate diagnosis coding. CAARM, 7000S Spyglass Court, Ste 300, Viera. AntiAgingIM.com. See ad, page 15.

hameka Shaw, RN of AWEsome Wellness & Counseling, is excited to announce the launch of the 12-week Adventure Series, Power in Position beginning mid-July. Shaw recognizes that we live in a culture that looks for quick fixes and temporary band aids that simply satisfy the surface level of our being. Her passion is to instead encourage patience and assist people in removing obstacles to happiness by shifting unhealthy patterns.

“Over the years I have learned that patterns have power, but the key is the ability to shift those patterns in a way that facilitates peace, healing, and growth,” says Shaw. “Patterns can unlock potential when the foundation of those patterns shifts.”

During the series, Shaw will invite participants to consider their foundational patterns concerning their health, emotional and mental well-being, faith and more. “I invite you on an adventure where we will dive into this concept as well as a plethora of other topics that will challenge you to be the best version of AWEsome that you were created to be,” says Shaw. “It will truly be an adventure for those who are ready to learn what true power is.”

THCV Hemp Oils Help People Suffering from Long-Haul COVID

A

ge Advantage Brands is pleased to announce that their CBD Made Easy Energy & Focus THCV Hemp Oil has been shown to be effective in helping people with diminished focus and who feel sluggish to feel “normal” again.

THCV is a cannabinoid and is known as the “sports car” of cannabinoids. Like CBD and THC, this means that it works with the human endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS helps regulate our physical and mental well-being, influencing how we experience stress and anxiety, sleep, eating, and even our hormone levels.”

“Although THCV may sound like THC, its effects are quite the opposite. It is not psycho active,” says Andrew Strickman. “According to several studies, it demonstrated the ability to suppress appetite, which may aid weight loss. It has also been shown to up-regulate energy metabolism, resulting in a motivated, alert, and energized feeling of euphoria, along with providing focus. For this reason, it is often recommended for daytime or any time when functionality is essential.”

Cut Back on Booze to Protect the Brain

Dmitry Naumov/AdobeStock.com

It is widely known that heavy drinking harms the brain, but even drinking as little as a few beers or glasses of wine per week will reduce brain volume, according to a new study of 36,000 adults.

Researchers led by a University of Pennsylvania team reported in Nature Communications that alcohol consumption even at modest levels may carry risks to the brain, shrinking it in ways similar to the aging process. The study was conducted using the UK Biobank, a dataset from 500,000 British middle-aged and older adults that includes genetic and medical information, including white and gray matter volume in different regions of the brain.

The researchers found that the more alcohol people consumed on average, the greater the brain damage. Going from zero to a daily average of one alcohol unit (half a beer or half a glass of wine) is linked with the equivalent of a half a year of aging in 50-year-olds. Drinking an average of two units a day (a pint of beer or glass of wine) produces changes in the brain equivalent to aging two years. The difference between zero and four units (two beers or glasses of wine) was equal to more than 10 years of aging. “It’s not linear,” says study co-author Remi Daviet. “It gets worse the more you drink. There is some evidence that the effect of drinking on the brain is exponential. That means that cutting back on that final drink of the night might have a big effect in terms of brain aging.”

For the one in three Americans that are sleep-deprived, working out with resistance exercises to strengthen muscles may produce longer and deeper shuteye than aerobics, new research from the American Heart Association shows. In a 12-month study, researchers randomly assigned 386 inactive, overweight adults with high blood pressure to one of several groups that worked out for an hour three times a week. A resistance exercise group did three sets of eight to 16 repetitions on 12 machines; the aerobics group used treadmills, bicycles or elliptical machines; a combo group used both; and a control group did no supervised exercise. Among the 42 percent of participants that were not getting at least seven hours of sleep at the study’s start, sleep duration increased by an average of 40 minutes for the resistance exercise group compared to an increase of about 23 minutes in the aerobic exercise group and about 17 minutes in the combined exercise group.

“If your sleep has gotten noticeably worse over the past two stressful years, consider incorporating two or more resistance exercise training sessions into your regular exercise routine to improve your general muscle and bone health, as well as your sleep,” says study author Angelique Brellenthin, assistant professor of kinesiology at Iowa State University, in Ames.

Is a Professional Herbalist Right for You?

by Gina Kearney

A

n herbalist is a person who practices healing using plants, seeds, barks, flowers, roots, rhizomes, berries, and even mushrooms. Herbalists seek to address each person as a whole: mind (emotional), body (physical), and spirit. A physical illness may have been caused by years of emotional distress.

Knowledgeable herbalists get to know their patients on a deep and personal level in order to understand how they got to where they are today.

There are many different kinds of herbalists. Some herbalists gain their knowledge as it’s passed down from generation to generation. Others gain their knowledge from apprenticeships or school programs and tend to focus on teaching their communities about the power of herbs. There are also clinical herbalists who have more extensive training and work with clients on a regular basis in an office setting (whether that’s virtual or in-person).

Just like there are different kinds of herbalists, there are also various kinds of traditional herbal studies. Some of them include Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and Western Herbalism and Energetics.

LIFESTYLE CHANGES. Apart from prescribing herbs, your herbalist may ask you to make lifestyle changes such as dietary adjustments and adding exercise and meditation routines. Consider if you are ready or interested in making those changes.

TREATING THE ROOT CAUSE. Sometimes people will look for other forms of treatment after years of seeking help from medical professionals with little to no success. For some people, western medicine can often feel like they are just treating their symptoms rather than finding and treating the root cause of their disease or ailments. An herbalist treats the whole person addressing underlying causes and restoring balance.

CUSTOMIZED TREATMENT. Herbal practitioners seek to customize herbs and lifestyle treatment protocols for each individual patient. In Western medicine, you may often see two different patients walk out of a consultation for depression with nervous agitation with the same medication. An herbalist takes a different approach. Although these two people might be experiencing similar symptoms, they will each be receiving a different protocol and set of herbs depending on their individual emotional and physical responses to their disharmony.

Remember, there is no right or wrong answer to what kind of treatment you decide to choose. It is all about following your guidance system and ultimately feeling what is best for you.

National Parks Enacting New Regulations Because our national parks and protected areas are feeling the pressure of increased demand for outdoor recreation, the National Park Service (NPS) has cracked down on some recreational activities to better manage the human impact on natural environments. In 2021, the national park system hosted nearly 300 million recreational visits, and 44 parks set visitation records. The high number of cars creates congestion, pollution and collisions with wildlife.

Overcrowding on trails can lead to higher risk of hiking accidents and illegal off-roading.

Two Utah national parks will start requiring reservations.

At Zion, Rocky Mountain and Glacier national parks, guests need a permit to hike certain routes. Arches National Park guests will have to book timed entry tickets during the high season. Acadia and Zion announced the temporary closure of some popular climbing sites starting this month to ensure that peregrine falcons can nest without disturbance.

In 2021, the NPS gave park superintendents the authority to ban e-bikes if they adversely impact natural resources or other visitors, as well as scenic air tours at dawn or dusk or within a half-mile of the ground. Biologically important behaviors for many species occur during sunrise and sunset such as foraging, mating and communication. The hours of operation provide quiet periods of the day during which visitors can enjoy natural sounds and preserve opportunities for solitude in designated wilderness areas.

Ban Plastics in National Parks

Our national parks are places of unparalleled scenic beauty and wildlife for all of us to enjoy. These national treasures are being threatened by plastic trash.

Climate Change Causing Birds to Lay Eggs Earlier In a new study, “Climate Change Affects Bird Nesting Phenology: Comparing Contemporary Field and Historical Museum Nesting Records,” published in the Journal of Animal Ecology, scientists were able to determine that about a third of the bird species nesting in Chicago are laying their eggs a month earlier than they did 100 years ago by comparing eggs preserved in museum collections to modern observations.

Researchers think the culprit in this shift is climate change.

John Bates, curator of birds at the Field Museum and the study’s lead author, says, “The majority of the birds we looked at eat insects, and insects’ seasonal behavior is also affected by climate. The birds have to move their egg-laying dates to adapt. Egg collections are such a fascinating tool for us to learn about bird ecology over time. I love the fact that this paper combines these older and modern datasets to look at these trends over about 120 years and help answer really critical questions about how climate change is affecting birds.”

Bates advises, “These early egg people were incredible natural historians in order to do what they did. You really have to know the birds in order to go out and find the nests and do the collecting.”

Men Redefine Their Emotional Power Merpics/AdobeStock.com

by Marlaina Donato

F

or generations immemorial, men have been builders of culture, solid providers and inspired adventurers, but gender roles and sometimes-conflicting cultural expectations have taken a heavy toll on both the individual and community. The pervasive “tough guy” paradigm has denied half the human race its full emotional expression, resulting in amplified stress levels, compromised physical health, toxic aggression, broken families and a higher risk for addiction. According to research published in the American Journal of Men’s Health in 2020, death by suicide among men is almost four times higher than that of women and is partly attributed to the stigma of seeking treatment for depression.

African American men carry the additional burden of racial and economic inequality, and their depressive symptoms are often more persistent and incapacitating.

Contrary to common myth, men are deeply emotional and responsive beings by nature. Centuries overdue, restrictive cultural definitions are slowly shifting to a broader psychosocial 16

Space & Treasure Coast Edition

view of authentic manhood. Thanks to guy-friendly mental health resources, virtual and in-person support communities and diverse options in the alternative health field, more men are taking responsibility for their well-being and learning how to embody emotional freedom. They are stepping up to the plate as strong, sensitive leaders, something our world needs now more than ever.

Breaking the Chains and Choosing Authenticity The masculine expectation and requirement have been for most boys to “buck up and tough it out” during childhood and adolescence, and this overt or sometimes very subtle conditioning can promote disproportionate power plays, homophobia and resistance to emotional intimacy well into adulthood. “Every society has ‘feeling rules’ that govern how emotions can be expressed publicly,” says psychologist Michael Reichert, executive director of the Center for the Study of Boys’ and Girls’ Lives MyNaturalAwakenings.com

at the University of Pennsylvania and author of How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Build Good Men. “Research tells us that boys are born as emotionally expressive as girls, but in a short time receive constant messages from their loved ones, schoolmates and TV shows that only certain emotions are okay for boys.” Such emotional restrictiveness has a profoundly negative impact on male development, he says.

For Todd Adams in Elmhurst, Illinois, cofounder of MenLiving. org and a Tony Robbins-certified life coach, recognizing societal trappings is key. “The first step is to have the awareness that we have been lied to for as long as we can remember about what it means to be a man. We have been conditioned to stay in the ‘man box’, which means if we show any type of vulnerability, our value from the outside, as well as from the inside, plummets.”

Reichert concurs. “My belief is that tragic outcomes— addictions, violence, suicide and premature mortality—are a reflection of how men’s human natures are thwarted by cultural norms. Being confined to a man box is hazardous. We humans, including men, are built to express our hearts in close connections to others we love and who love us.”

The notion of going the distance solo is discouraged by Adams, whose organization helps men from all walks of life find support and connection through online meetings and adventure outings. “Once the awareness is there, I would invite family, partners, et cetera, to invite us to show up in a more authentic and human way,” he says.

For many men, emotions—other than “socially acceptable” anger and irritation—rarely see the light of day and instead morph into physical maladies such as digestive trouble, headaches, chest pain and high blood pressure. Unmanaged stress can also zap any zing in the bedroom. “I’m certainly not a doctor, but I’m sure there is a correlation for some about their emotional/mental/financial wellbeing being related to erectile dysfunction. The men that I work with often have a habit of not taking good care of themselves, and that lack of self-care ripples into other parts of their life, including their sexual life,” observes Adams. In spite of the fact that many others are struggling with the same condition, out of shame, it is often kept in the shadows. “My advice is that men find safe spaces to discuss these challenges with others. My hope is that men can discuss sexuality and intimacy as openly as women do.”

Josh Beharry, project coordinator of HeadsUpGuys.org, in Vancouver, Canada, an online resource hub for men battling depression, has spearheaded online stress assessment tests for more than 26,000 men over the age of 18 and found surprising consistency. “The results suggest that the two most common stressors faced by the men are a lack of meaning and feelings of loneliness, followed by financial strain, relationship difficulties and problems at work,” he says.

According to data gathered by Tulane University, human connection boosts immunity and wards off cardiovascular disease, anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment. For men especially, social bonds are critical in coping with life stresses.

772-888-5269

Male depression can be hidden in plain sight, disguised as hitting the bottle to “relax”, or by working compulsively, engaging in highrisk behaviors or easily flying off the handle at loved ones. Beharry knows firsthand how insidious the disease can be and why seeking help sooner than later is vital. After miraculously surviving a horrific suicide attempt, he unexpectedly found hope and the will to live through walking, breathwork and human connection.

Being honest with others, as well as himself, was a turning point in his recovery.

“For a lot of men, talking about dealing with depression feels like an admission of weakness or something to feel guilty about,” he says. “Try to think of emotional pain like physical pain. If you get cut, you bleed; that’s part of being human. Then you do something to treat the wound. Or if it’s deeper, you go to a doctor or a hospital.

Denying painful emotions is like trying not to bleed when you get cut or trying to pretend you’re not bleeding.”

For family members or friends concerned about a man’s mental health, he advises, “Vague assertions like, ‘You seem depressed,’ can make a guy feel attacked or put on the spot. Instead, it’s helpful to start by pointing out specific observations you’ve had about changes to his mood or behavior, such as, ‘You seem stressed out,’ or, ‘You haven’t been eating much,’ or, ‘You’ve been isolating yourself from friends or turning down plans more than usual.’”

It is estimated that 4 percent of men suffer from the physical and psychological consequences of trauma, and PTSD is certainly not reserved for combat veterans.

While traditional therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure therapy are excellent for treating depression, other modalities offer light at the end of the tunnel for men plagued by traumatic overwhelm.

experience life. Empower yourself with resources—podcasts, books, therapy, coaching—whatever support might look like for you,” advises Adams.

There is no better time than now for the masculine to rise to a new level of greatness. “There is ample evidence that we are in a paradigm-shifting moment in the history of manhood,” says Reichert. “When I speak with parents, I say that there has never been a better time in all of human history to raise a son.”

Planet-Friendly Pours THE RISE OF SUSTAINABLE WINE AND SPIRITS

tатьяна kреминская/AdobeStock.com

by Sheila Julson

I

conic food and beverage magazines such as Bon Appetit and Food & Wine affirm that sustainable and socially responsible wines and spirits are becoming a major force in the market, yet consumers wanting to pour an Earthconscious tipple need a sobering amount of research to sort through what’s truly eco-friendly.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not require wine makers to list ingredients on labels or regulate the use of terms such as “natural” and “sustainably grown”.

“There are more than 70 additives that are allowed in wine that don’t have to be disclosed on the label,” explains Brad Kruse, who with his wife, Allie, owns Nonfiction Natural Wines, a Milwaukee-based specialty wine retailer. “The only real requirement relating to additives is the declaration of sulfites, which makes it trickier, because even wines with no added sulfites have to have the warning on the label because some naturally occur in the wine.”

Some wine labels tout that they’re made with organic grapes or grapes that are farmed sustainably. “But those may still have a 20

Space & Treasure Coast Edition

host of other additives or lots of added sulfites,” says Kruse.

Certifications can act as a shortcut to locate eco-friendly wines.

Demeter USA, for example, certifies vineyards that follow strict biodynamic rules for how the wine is farmed and processed, including limiting sulfites. But many small producers that operate naturally don’t bother obtaining certification.

Independent wine shops with knowledgeable employees can help consumers choose wisely. Kruse recommends looking for the name of the importer on the back label, saying, “If you learn a handful of importers that focus on naturally made wines, such as Louis/Dressner, Zev Rovine or Jenny & Francois, it can be a quick way to find a good option.”

Sustainability in the Vineyards Rudy Marchesi, the former chairman of Demeter USA, practices biodynamic farming at his vineyard, Montinore Estate, in Forest Grove, Oregon. “We view our farm as one whole organism, below and above the ground,” he says.

Biodynamic farming, founded by philosopher Rudolf Steiner a century ago, requires using nutritionally rich compost teeming MyNaturalAwakenings.com

with microbiology of fungi and bacteria, as well as synchronizing specific farming practices with the seasons. These practices help the vineyards buffer droughts and weather swings, resulting in a consistent product that reflects the region. “Wine connoisseurs and collectors look for wines that have a sense of place and tell the story of where they’re from,” Marchesi says.

Distillers Move Toward Sustainable Practices Alcohol is an agricultural product, so producing a sustainable spirit starts with the grain itself, says Herman C. Mihalich, founder and distiller of Mountain Laurel Spirits, in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

“Rye is a much less resource-intensive grain to grow compared to crops like corn,” he says. The recipe for the company’s signature Dad’s Hat Rye Whiskey calls for malted barley and rye, but no corn. “Rye doesn’t need much fertilizer and few, if any, pesticides.

It’s easy to grow and it preserves soil because it’s a fall planting crop that helps prevent erosion,” he says.

Their grains are sourced from a nearby farmer, and they save water by capturing cooling water from the still’s condenser and storing it in a tank, then using it to clean tanks and make spent mash that can be used for livestock feed. The bottles are made locally by Stoelzle Glass, in Monaca, Pennsylvania.

When seeking sustainably produced spirits, customers have to do their due diligence, Mihalich says. “It requires a little digging and asking the right questions: What grains are you using and from where? How are you using water?”

When Extreme Chef host Marsh Mokhtari and his wife, Jan, founded Gray Whale Gin, they rotated proprietorship with two existing distilleries instead of using land and resources to build a new one. A vacation in Big Sur inspired the couple to “capture California in a glass” and make a product with ingredients found along the gray whale migratory route between the Baja Peninsula and Oregon. They hired a professional forager to collect juniper berries along the coast. “Juniper for most gin is sourced from Italy or Macedonia,” says Mokhtari. “We predominantly use juniper berries from California, which are light purple and larger, with a cedar component.” They also source mint and limes from sustainable farms in California.

Gray Whale Gin gives back through a partnership with the environmental nonprofits Oceana and 1% for the Planet. They recently joined with Oceana and former California governor Jerry Brown to support responsible swordfishing practices off the California coast.

Healing Trauma EMERGING THERAPIES OFFER FRESH HOPE

R

efugee children with tear-stained faces, the frail elderly being wheeled away from floods or fires, the sobbing families of gunshot victims— the faces of trauma are seen in every heartbreaking newscast. And the faces are even closer to us than that, walking down the street: a woman that recoils from touch, a child that has withdrawn into himself, a man with incoherent bursts of anger.

The trauma of death, cruelty and destruction has always been part of the human experience. In the U.S., surveys show that as many as 60 to 70 percent of people report being traumatized by sexual assault, accidents, violence, war combat or other causes, and as many as one in 11 may be diagnosed in their lifetime with the more severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The encouraging news is that in the last few decades, a revolution has occurred in the recognition of how widespread trauma is and how deeply embedded it can be, not only in our behaviors but in our bodies. That, in turn, has led to effective and ever-evolving approaches to heal what’s been broken.

“Although trauma and PTSD are visible in the culture everywhere now, from films to popular literature and from legal to mental health fields, until 1980 the topic was virtually non-existent,” says San Francisco psychologist, PTSD researcher and author Harvey Schwartz, Ph.D., who has treated trauma clients in clinical practice for 35 years. “After it became a legitimate diagnosis in 1980, long-overdue research and development of clinical protocols occurred, and today, almost every tradition and subculture within the mental health field has its own model of how to treat trauma.”

Shaping the ongoing dialogue has been the research of Boston psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, whose 2014 book, The Body Keeps the Score, has occupied the top rung of The New York Times bestseller list for three years. In magnetic imaging studies, he found that when a person is thrust into a terrorizing incident, the cognitive functions in the brain’s temporal lobe shut down and activity shifts to the selfdefense mode of the amygdala. When the person responds by fighting, fleeing or freezing, physiological reactions

kick in, which armor the body and trap emotions and thinking in that fraught moment, distorting future perceptions and experiences. He argues that any true healing of trauma must include “bottomup” modalities focusing on the body rather than only mental “top-down” insights.

He also insists that no single treatment alone is likely enough and no combination of treatments will be the same for every person.

Christine Songco, a Los Angeles dental hygienist and wellness coach, used cognitive therapy, journaling and meditation to relieve the trauma of a grueling bout with cancer, but hearing loud and angry voices still made her panic. What ultimately proved healing was an hour-long session of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), in which she followed a therapist’s prompt to move her eyes back and forth while memories surfaced. “It got to the root of my fear and anxiety and the source of my trauma without hours of therapy talking sessions, but I do think the other work I did set the stage for EMDR to be effective for me,” she says.

Schwartz says that two major approaches to treating PTSD have emerged: cognitive and experiential.

Cognitive, or “talk therapies”, supported by academic research and insurance companies, emphasize mentally processing painful memories to manage such symptoms as nightmares, flashbacks and explosive anger, often using anti-anxiety and antidepressant medications. They can include such strategies as narrative recall, slowly increasing exposure to the traumatic material, mindfulness training and deep breathing exercises.

“Cognitive approaches help survivors learn how to become an expert of themselves so that they can respond to their trauma in a healthier way,” says psychologist Sabina Mauro, of Yardley, Pennsylvania, author of The Mindfulness Workbook for PTSD. This type of therapy can take months to years and effectively treats about half of PTSD sufferers.

Finally,

WE OFFER THE BEST:

Experiential approaches, which have been researched less, but have engendered substantial therapist enthusiasm, do a “deep dive” to work through traumatic patterning embedded in a person’s mind, body and psyche. “They help people restore not only their nervous systems, but their capacity for self-trust and self-forgiveness and their capacity for connection to their bodies and others,” says Schwartz.

These modalities mostly focus, at least at first, on physical sensations rather than intellectual comprehension.

For example, Somatic Experiencing defuses deeply held, fear-based contractions in the body by integrating those sensations with peaceful alternatives. EMDR, once an outlier but now practiced globally and endorsed by the World Health Organization, uses eye movements to lower the emotional charge of a traumatic memory. Internal Family Systems repairs a wounded psyche by relating a person’s deeply felt, damaged “child parts” to their essential goodness.

To re-inhabit parts of the body frozen in the past by trauma, patients may be encouraged to use somatic meditations, trauma-informed yoga, acupuncture, massage and martial arts, as well as art, music, dance and other forms of expression. Psychedelics, which if used carefully can open a trauma sufferer to a larger sense of purpose, may become a legal option in a few years. In a recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved Phase 3 clinical trial on MDMA (previously called ecstasy), 67 percent of participants no longer met the criteria for PTSD after three therapist-guided sessions.

Says Schwartz, “It can feel like a supermarket of options out there, so people need to read, become informed consumers and combine treatments at times. We have to think of the mind, the body and the spiritual as all needing attention and integration.”

TRAUMA TREATMENT OPTIONS Dozens of approaches are available for treating trauma, and experienced therapists often mix and match cognitive and experiential modalities to meet a patient’s needs. “Choose the therapist over the method, as research repeatedly shows that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in any successful therapy,” advises internationally recognized PTSD specialist Babette Rothschild, author of The Body Remembers, Revolutionizing Trauma Treatment and 8 Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery.

Some primary approaches, with links to practitioners, are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works to process the traumatic event and change negative thought patterns connected to it. Usually involving 12 to 20 sessions, it is the most thoroughly studied approach and has been shown to be effective for about half of patients with good, long-term retention of outcomes. Some variations are Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Find a practitioner at Tinyurl.com/CBTpractitioner.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy helps a patient overcome the fear and anxiety of a trauma by re-experiencing elements of it in a safe environment, using imagination and sometimes virtual reality. It is often used by cognitive therapists.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) uses sound, motion, touch, even a pencil to direct a client’s eyes back and forth, thus integrating parts of the brain; memories emerge, but without a heavy emotional charge. A key part of Veterans Administration therapy, it is recommended by the World Health Organization. Some studies show that 84 to 90 percent of single-trauma victims no longer have PTSD after three, 90-minute sessions. Find a practitioner at Emdria.org/directory.

Brainspotting is an emerging outgrowth of EMDR that involves helping a client fixate on a location in the eye that pinpoints specific traumatic memories. Research is scant, but suggests it may be as or more effective than EMDR. Find a practitioner at Brainspotting.com/directory.

Somatic Experiencing has a client pendulate between subtle sensations of trauma in the body and safe, peaceful feelings, which allows the trauma to be gently released.

How to Raise Empathetic Kids

SIMPLE WAYS PARENTS CAN CULTIVATE COMPASSION

Space & Treasure Coast Edition

mpathy is the foundation of a caring society. While we are all born with a certain amount, cultivating it is a skill that can be strengthened with practice, and it is critical that the learning process start early, say childhood educators. An empathetic child can better manage their own emotional responses and understand how someone else might be feeling. Studies show that children that practice empathy are less likely to bully and better suited to collaborative environments, setting them up for academic and professional success.

According to educator Traci Baxley, of Boca Raton, Florida, empathy in children is developed over time and with repetition.

“The earlier we begin to model empathy with our children, the more they will mimic the characteristics associated with the awareness and care of others. Teaching and modeling empathy early supports children’s emotion regulation development and contributes to creating safe spaces in our homes for children to feel nurtured, valued and cared for,” she says.

As a speaker, coach and author of Social Justice Parenting: How to Raise Compassionate, Anti-Racist, JusticeMinded Kids in an Unjust World, Baxley uses empathy as a tool for fostering civic-minded awareness. “Empathy is foundational to achieving social justice and creating a world where everyone has a fair chance to live a full, productive life. Social justice requires us to see each other’s perspectives, circumstances and lived experiences through the lens of empathy and compassion. It’s the only way MyNaturalAwakenings.com

Empathy often starts with listening. to live in the space of active hope that we can create a world free from inequities and injustices,” she says.

One innovative program, Toronto-based Roots of Empathy, began in 1996 after a mother brought her baby into a kindergarten classroom for children to relate to. With the aid of an instructor, they were encouraged to understand the baby’s needs and feelings, and to take the baby’s perspective. So successfully did the interaction reduce bullying behavior that the program has since spread globally, reaching 1 million children in K-8 classes.

“In school, students are taught to read, but if we don’t teach them to relate, then we can expect failed societies,” says founder Mary Gordon. “By interpreting the feelings of the tiny baby and sharing when they had the same feelings, the students develop emotional literacy and awareness. This enables them to build connections and healthy relationships, which leads to inclusion and integration.”

By parents modeling empathy and vulnerability around their children, the foundation is laid for open conversations, she says. “At the dinner table, say, ‘Today I felt embarrassed when I was called on at work and felt unprepared.’ Identifying and normalizing feelings is the best way to show them it’s something you value and encourage their natural instincts. Kids learn best through observation rather than instruction.”

At The Children’s Museum, in Oak Lawn, an Illinois nonprofit, play is an essential part of childhood development. Executive Director Adam Woodworth says the institution focuses on kindness and gratitude to build a foundation of empathy.

“Helping children find their empathy for others develops strong friendships built on trust and understanding. Parents can incorporate empathy into explanations for everyday interactions such as sharing toys. Instead of focusing on the negative of giving up their toy for someone else, talk about how happy the other child would feel,” he suggests.

Empathy often starts with listening. “Teaching children how to listen for context is a skill that is developed over time. Parents can help by asking open-ended questions while reading, such as, ‘Why do you think Frog didn’t want to invite Snake to the party?’ This helps cultivate both understanding and empathy, acknowledges their feelings as real and validates them in a way that they know we care,” he says.

Baxley stresses that it is imperative for parents to model the behaviors they want to cultivate in front of their children. “The way we show up for our children is how they will show up for others,” she says. “We have to pour these habits of empathy and compassion into our children in the privacy of our homes if we expect them to know how to show up for others in that way out in the world.”

The Exercise Power of E-Bikes GET A WORKOUT ON AN EASIER RIDE he familiar adage, “No pain, no gain,” doesn’t really apply to e-bikes.

Although a pedalassist electric bicycle is zippier and easier to ride than a conventional model, researchers are finding that as long as we’re pedaling, we’re still getting our heart pumping, building stamina and experiencing some of that cardio magic. That’s good news for those of us that like to work smarter, not harder.

What’s more, that battery-enabled oomph supplies riders with the enjoyment, motivation and self-confidence to venture out more frequently and for longer periods of time, give hills and inclines a try and even pedal to work for an active, eco-friendly commute.

It’s a win-win-win.

In 2018, researchers at Brigham Young University (BYU), in Provo, Utah, sought to quantify just how good a workout was possible on an e-bike, and they discovered that the average heart rate was only 6.21 beats per minute lower than on a conventional cycle.

“The e-bike and conventional bike averages both fell within that 50 to 70 percent maximum-heart rate threshold which is indicative of moderate-intensity cardiovascular activity, so there seems to be a similar amount of benefit for heart health when riding an e-bike, despite the fact that the perceived exertion was significantly lower than on a conventional bike,” says Taylor Hoj, lead author of the study published in the journal JMIR Public Health and Surveillance.

The college-aged men and women that participated in the study rode the same 10-mile trail on each type of bike, so it was easy to compare how much faster the e-bikes were.

Cyclists averaged 12 miles per hour (mph) on the conventional bike and 16 mph on the e-bike, reaching top speeds of 22 mph and 27 mph, respectively.

On average, the same route took 54 minutes to complete on the conventional bike and only 39 minutes on the e-bike—a 30 to 40 percent time savings. For people considering using an e-bike to commute to work, that reduction might make it easier to give it a shot.

Using questionnaires given before and after each ride, the BYU researchers found, “In general, participants agreed that they MyNaturalAwakenings.com

could ride an e-bike on most days, in the cold, when they were tired or dressed in formal attire, while carrying groceries or books, or on hilly terrain,” says Hoj, a health equity epidemiologist at the Utah Department of Health and adjunct faculty member at the BYU College of Life Sciences.

Notably absent from the study were e-bikes with throttles, which with a twist of the handle or the push of a button, provide a boost even when the rider isn’t pedaling. These bikes would probably not provide the same level of exercise benefits.

In 2019, the same BYU researchers conducted a similar study with experienced mountain bikers, published in the JMIR Formative Research Journal. “Our results in that study supported the idea that using a pedal-assist electric mountain bike (EMTB) retained the cardiovascular benefit and that the participants overwhelmingly perceived the potential of EMTB use to be positive,” Hoj says. “Some of them said an EMTB could help get them out on the trails more or perhaps get them to ride longer and go further, and also would allow older, injured, disabled or less-fit riders to enjoy mountain biking on dirt trails, whereas maybe their age, injuries or fitness levels limited their capability on a conventional mountain bike.”

According to Hoj, e-bikes offer a great set of benefits for fitness buffs. “Even if you’re a very serious athlete and in training programs, there are days where maybe you’re recovering from a more intense ride and your muscles are really sore, but you still want to continue to train your heart and that aerobic side of things, and an e-bike could be a great use for a more laid back aerobic day while the legs are recovering,” he says. “And if someone is wanting to get into mountain biking but doesn’t feel like they have the fitness to get there or doesn’t know how to start, that pedal assist could remove that initial barrier.”

Ultimately, the decision to buy an e-bike—good ones start at $1,000—may come down to emotional considerations.

“They’re a lot of fun to ride,” Hoj says.

BENEFITS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

O

ne of the best-kept secrets in medicine is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). Here, you breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Injured or damaged cells replicate using an eightfold increase in a patient’s own stem cells during this treatment. The pressure pushes oxygen into the plasma to reach injured areas anywhere in the body.

HBOT has proven effective for COVID-19 and its long haulers, anti-aging issues like cognitive fog, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. It also treats people who’ve experienced physical and concussive trauma. “It can return these veterans to

their families free of PTSD and other injuries,” says Raymond Crallé, a Registered Physical Therapist who leads the team.

“We can help people who think their golden years aren’t so golden.”

The outpatient Delray Beach facility offers an effective combination of HBOT and physical therapy. Their hyperbaric chambers are clear acrylic, preventing claustrophobia. Chambers include an entertainment center. Blankets and pillows keep users comfortable.

Professionally trained staff are HBOT proficient in safety procedures. “There are 14 Medicare and insurance-approved

conditions. We also treat stroke patients, professional athletes, and others seeking wellness goals,” says Crallé.

Crallé has been involved in the breakthrough use of HBOT and in many published studies.

He has worked with children and adults and participated in an HBOT study for Veterans. Crallé was recognized by his peers as a pioneer in the field of hyperbaric medicine.
