Dr. Sage Breslin – Successfully Moving From Trauma To Triumph

Trauma comes in many forms, from being on the receiving end of an assault to living through the horrors of war to suffering a devasting injury or disease. Any one of these are life altering but how we react to these incidents makes the difference between living a life of anguish and despair or one of resilience and hope. Dr. Sage Breslin has spent most of her career as a healer and counselor to those affected by trauma. Her mission actually grew out of the traumas she faced in her early life, including an accident that nearly killed her and thwarted her goal of becoming a medical doctor. Recently, however, she has had to face another trauma: a cancer diagnosis. In this episode she explains how she faced this life threatening issue and how her journey can help others face their own traumatic issues. Sage tells us: • What her journey with cancer has taught her • How she dealt with the loneliness surrounding her treatment • Tools that help people cope with trauma • Transformational healing techniques that can benefit everyone • How dreams play a part in the healing process • How trauma can be a blessing Whether you’ve experienced trauma or not, there is so much to learn from Sage’s experience so you don’t want to miss this inspirational episode of Dream Power Radio. Even if you were imaginative, you couldn’t make up the crazy life that Dr. Sage Breslin has lived. Raised primarily in suburban Los Angeles, she had no idea what life had in store for her. Educated in some of the finest institutions and having traveled the world, Dr. Breslin is intelligent, articulate and culturally fluent- you’d never know that she has a Traumatic Brain Injury, endured extensive sexual assault and sex trafficking, nor that she was paralyzed during graduate school after an accident. If you met her, you’d be impressed with her diplomacy, grace and sassy wit, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that she’s experienced cardiac arrest eight times, once while giving birth to twins prematurely (after being told she could never have kids!). While others might have given up in response to such extensive trauma and tragedy, Dr. Breslin’s amazing resilience has enabled her to use her experiences to assist others. Sage has a BA in Behavioral Psychology from UCSD and an MA and PhD in Counseling Psychology from Northwestern University. She is also certified by Dr. Herb Benson in Mind/Body Medicine at Harvard Medical Center. Dr. Breslin is a Breakthrough and Transformation Coach, a Trauma Psychologist, a Motivational Speaker, a Screenwriter and a Best-Selling Author. Her first book, Lovers & Survivors, as well as her work with Chicken Soup for the Soul, LLC have generated worldwide acclaim. Her second and third books, The Secret to Conception and The Secret to Conception Workbook, have enabled hundreds to resolve fertility challenges. Her fourth book, Daily Pearls: 365 Days of Sage Wisdom, blends Dr. Breslin’s musings with motivational quotes from a wide array of contributors and delivers an unforgettable and moving read. Her narrative storytelling style enables readers to experience life as she has lived it, and delivers the inspirational message so imperative for post-traumatic growth. While her colorful life has imbued her with perspective and insight, Dr. BreslI'd love to know what you think of this episode. Text me here.Support the showDon't miss a single episode!
