Ep 408: Why the body keeps the stories NOT the score! with Alex Boianghu

Wanting to look deeper into why you repeat the same patterns of addiction, relationships or situations keep repeating themselves for you? Curious about embodiment and brain body connections?  Wondering if EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Re-processsing) might help with trauma or addictions?  Alex Boianghu has been a psychotherapist for over 30 years and specializes in addiction and trauma treatment where he incorporates EMDR along with Eastern and Western psychology and philosophy principles to help clients reconnect with their bodies on a deeper spiritual level.  In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause interviews Alex Boianghu on his philosopy of healing trauma, addiction and understanding yourself more intimately to ultimately heal what needs to be healed while awakening your own inner resources and capabilities to live with exuberance.

What you'll Learn In This Episode:

• What does it mean to live your life
• Why you develop layers of armor to feel "safe" in the world
• How EMDR helps you perceive trauma in a more objective light and release it vs keep it stored
• The art of sensing the world with your body
• Why the stories you tell yourself about events are what create individual trauma responses
