Episode #4 - Dr. Scott Graves - COVID-19 From Fear & Powerlessness to Empowerment & Love

In this episode I chat with my life-long friend, Dr. Scott Graves
to discuss action, hope, empowerment, and love in the midst of
the COVID-19 pandemic that currently has us all huddled up in a
much more isolated way than we are typically used to. We explore
how to care for ourselves physically, emotionally, and
spiritually in such an unprecedented time. Dr. Scott is an
acupuncture physician and holds a master's in counseling and
theology. He is the founder of Triune Wellness Center in Orlando,
FL and is the creator of the online course entitled Total Gut
Transformation (www.TotalGutTransformation.com).


If you are finding yourself overwhelmed by the stress, anxiety,
and isolation that is currently coursing through all of humanity
right now, consider the following options:


1. Schedule a confidential online therapy session with one of our
amazing therapists at Mindful Counseling GR (if you are a
Michigan resident). For those of you who are out of state, you
can find local therapists in your area who are also able to do
video sessions during this time. Most insurance carriers are
covering online sessions presently. If you have questions about
what online therapy is like, check out this one minute video that
helps to demystify the experience.


2. Reach out to Dr. Scott for an online appointment from anywhere
in the US and get a FREE copy of his Complete Cold and Flu Guide.
Additionally, you can pick up a copy of The Sedona Method on
Amazon mentioned in the episode.


3. Download the Metafi App for free. It is a wonderful tool for
tracking, and journaling your emotional experiences as they arise
as bodily sensations in order to help to soothe and learn from
them. Metafi was created by Mindful Counseling GR therapist,
Benjamin Reisterer.


Additionally, many great yoga studios are putting their classes
online for free. Moving your body is a great way to deal with
stress. Use Google to search for free online yoga classes.
