Trauma. A BIG topic with lots of angles and points of discussion. In this episode, Trauma-Informed Coach Will Deroode, addresses some questions people may have if they are thinking of doing trauma-informed work and gives us the coles notes on what it means to approach healing through a trauma-informed lens. How do we know if we need a trauma-informed methodology to empower us? Are trauma-informed approaches best executed in a one-on-one capacity? Who is the right trauma-informed healer for us? Do we misuse the word trauma or use our trauma to avoid responsibility? Can we ever arrive at a place where we can say, "Yep, I'm totally healed!"? These are all questions Will explores!

Wow, lucid dreaming is fascinating! In this episode, Robert Waggoner,  author of Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self, joins us to discuss the transformational benefits of lucid dreaming. With practice, lucid dreamers can: access their unconscious programming, powerfully deal with past pain and trauma, bring love to their repressed shadows, receive telepathic messages, and live in attunement with the larger Collective Conscious - a "beyond ego" space. Throughout the episode, Robert shares many examples illustrating the relationship between dreaming life and waking life. Included in his catalog of examples are the amazing triumphs and transformations of emotional and physical healing he and others have achieved through intentional lucid dreaming.

Robert Waggoner is author of Lucid Dreaming, Gateway to the Inner Self and co-author of Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple. He has been a lucid dreamer since 1975 and he has logged more than 1000 lucid dreams.
