Stories from Everywhere, Episode 22 with Dr. James Dohn

In this episode of Let's Talk About Love Stories from Everywhere, host Jill L. Ferguson sits down with Dr. James Dohn, chiropractor and author of Structural Integration Is Not Massage. Their far-ranging conversation explores his journey of being a Marine during the Vietnam War to discovering the deep connections between body, mind, and healing. Together, they discuss PTSD and its three major symptoms, the roles of lying and addiction in trauma, and the importance of addressing your inner child—sometimes by simply writing with your non-dominant hand. Dr. Dohn also shares stories from the LA music scene of the 1970s and insights on how gravity affects every aspect of our physical and emotional well-being. It’s a powerful exploration of healing, honesty, and the lifelong process of learning to live in harmony with ourselves.
