Summer Is A State Of Mind – Dr. Tina Koopersmith

Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  Summer is a state of mind...More on wellness, summer camp, and reinvigorating your life. How summer camp - like a summer vacation - can be a bridge. The launching pad that provides the momentum to joyfully jump into the next season of life. If summer is a state of mind, of freedom, of rediscovering safety, and reJOYvenating and resourcing then we need to remember how we plug into life and recharge our life battery. Our personal nervous system, or as I like to call it, the sensation system, is unique to each individual. Knowing how you access and feel pleasure is critical. Pleasure is the deposits into the energy bank account of life -- stress and unpleasantness – those are continually showing up to make withdrawals. To not live in energy debt/bankruptcy we need 8x the positives to balance one negative. And so knowing our personal sensation system and if it runs on A, AA, AAA, C or D batteries or needs an overnight plugged in charge is not superfluous but essential to our well being.  Knowing your child and knowing yourself is critical. Choosing the right summer camp, like choosing the right vacation destination, is essential – the incorrect choice and we may drain rather than replenish energy. One person's heaven , may be another's hell. Some children are rivers… They want to flow in many directions. Some are channels… They want depth, focus, mastery. The problem isn’t the child. It’s when we mismatch the environment. Camp taught me this: ✨ Joy is not one-size-fits-all ✨ Play is personal ✨ And every child has a unique way they come alive In this episode: 🍃 Discover the “pleasure blueprint” 🔥 Understand your child (or yourself) more deeply 🏕️ Learn how to create environments where people thrive Because how you play…is how you heal.

But she is so much more than a physician. An integrative medicine and fertility specialist, she is a transformational healer and coach who not only brings life to her patients but reminds them that it is their responsibility and, in their power, to bring themselves back to vibrancy and vitality. Root cause healing starts with energy, emotions, communication—between your cells and your soul. As a speaker-coach-author as well as mother, nonconformist, and recovering perfectionist, she is dedicated to modifying our health care system from one focused on illness and sickness to one devoted to prevention and wellness. She reminds us all that love, play, pleasure and purpose are the secret ingredients to wellness. She starts with the premise we all have the same parts and very similar DNA, and yet we all have different experiences and imprinting. Our unique signature means we are all wired to access safety and pleasure in a slightly different fashion; this diversity is to be praised and celebrated. When our body feels safe, we can move from our “childhood” survival stress mode to our “Wise Sage Self”. Healing, recovery and regeneration thrive only when we stop resisting what is and celebrate all of life with acceptance of the NOW. Health and Wellness is nourished with empathy, compassion innovation and connection—a total integration of the mind body, the heart body, the physical body and the energetic. ALL are worthy of self-care, self-acceptance and self-love.
