In this episode of Change Your Mind! Transformational Dialogues, Craig Weiner, DC explores 8 take-charge strategies to heal your body and brain from stress and trauma with world renowned trauma expert Robert Scaer, M.D. He is the author of the book Eight Keys to Brain/Body Balance. It is geared to a lay audience, providing a practical understanding of the physiology of the brain/body interface and its role in healing stress and trauma.

Dr. Scaer is well known for developing many of the key concepts that underpin our most current understanding of the role of trauma and how it affects the health of our bodies and they way we feel and think about our lives. His insights into the freeze stress response, “trauma capsules” and more are key concepts in such work as EFT, Matrix ReImprinting and many somatic explorations.

Dr. Scaer is a Board Certified Neurologist and has been in practice for 36 years, twenty of those as Medical Director of Rehabilitation Services at the Mapleton Center in Boulder, CO. His primary areas of interest and expertise have been in the fields of traumatic brain injury and chronic pain, and more recently in the study of traumatic stress and its role in physical and emotional symptoms, and in diseases.
He has lectured extensively, and has published several articles on post traumatic stress disorder, dissociation, the whiplash syndrome and other somatic syndromes of trauma.
