What is the Connection Between the Body and the Mind with Intuitive Psychologist Dr. Daniel Atkins

Have you ever developed pain or discomfort right after an emotional experience?  Do you think about how your body seems to respond to whatever stress or trauma you're experiencing?   For this week’s episode of the Weekend Wellness Hour show, we discussed the mind-body connection and epigenetics of trauma with intuitive psychologist Dr. Daniel Atkins.  Like many people in the health and wellness world, Dr. Atkins's own personal journey led him on a path to healing that he now uses with others.   Dr. Atkins shared his diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome after achieving his doctorate and his difficulty emerging from what felt like a daily unending flu virus.  On his path to recovery, he discovered some intuitive abilities that has allowed him to transition into helping others through his connection with emotions and the body.   We discussed the importance of emotions in the human experience and how society and culture often shames those who exhibit an emotional display like crying.  Dr. Atkins explained the importance of allowing people to release these emotions in a safe environment.    Dr. Atkins also shared on the epigenetics of trauma and how we are often born with programming or coping mechanisms from previous generations.  He even explained how young children are heavily influenced by their parents, and their response to stress as adults reflects what was engrained into their subconscious during the first few years of life.   We discussed solutions to trauma responses including energy medicine and discovering the unique needs of each person.  Dr. Atkins has moved beyond the field of psychology into a more integrative practice that incorporates the foundations of his training, his experience in the field of mind body medicine, and his intuitive guidance as an energy worker to meet the holistic needs of sufferers.   Please join us to learn about the mind-body connection and it’s role in your mental health!   Please feel free to reach out to Dr. Atkins at https://www.drdanielatkins.com/.   -Dr. Amy Novotny   Subscribe to PABR Institute's email list for free Tips for Relief: https://pabrinstitute.activehosted.com/f/1   www.pabrinstitute.com
