Shrink Rap Radio Psychology Interviews: Exploring brain, body, mind, spirit, intuition, leadership, research, psychotherapy and more!

On this upcoming episode, I speak with London Psychiatrist Dr. Tim Read about his book, Walking Shadows: Archetype & Psyche in Crisis & Growth.

Transcript Sergey Baranov is the author of ‘PATH’, a book that will be of interest to any spiritual seeker who seeks honesty above all else. Living in various countries and growing up in different cultures, Sergey gained an understanding of the essential, a core commonality of human experience that lies beneath the differences to be found in every culture. By walking different paths and seeing through their limitations, Sergey found shamanism as a unifying path for all people regardless of their cultural background. By following his heart and intuition, Sergey was led to find his home outside of western industrial consumerist culture, which is largely a pathological society because its central values are based on a limited understanding of reality that is predominantly materialistic in and of itself in it’s fundamental denial of human consciousness – a fact that contributes to the madness we see in the world that is drowning in a pool of electromagnetic and chemical pollution together with such dangerous technologies as genetic manipulation and the ongoing attempt to merge humanity with machines. Working with the sacred Huachuma cactus he uncovered an ancient way of celebrating the gift of life through a deep connection to the natural environment and the cosmos. Huachuma is a Quechua word for a columnar cactus most commonly known as San Pedro (Trichosereus Peruviana), which is evidently related to the Peyote cactus of Mexico and North America. Sergey’s spiritual path has become his means of livelihood by doing what he loves and introducing others to an ancient healing sacrament, which grows naturally in the high Andean environment in which he has made his home. Huachuma-shamanism has been found to be practiced in different forms. Sergey’s orientation comes from his receiving inspiration from a deep ancient cultural stream whose center is at the enigmatic temple of Chavin de Huantar, which could be seen as the American equivalent of Eleusis in ancient Greece where deep spiritual initiation took place. It is located within the highest energetic influence of the peruvian Cordillera Blanca that contains some of the loftiest peaks of the entire Andean mountain chain. Sergey’s work with Huachuma includes some significant elements from Chavin de Huantar, acting as an anchor into this profound ancient mystery maintaining its presence beneath the veneer of modern Peru. Sergey conducts monthly retreats and offers special Huachuma journeys in some of the most ancient and sacred sites in Peru and Bolivia. Sergey’s work with Huachuma may be perceived as an intimate and personal encounter with an ancient stream of healing energies as opposed to mass-market ‘’mystical’’ tourism. This work, among other things, is an opportunity to see your life from a higher perspective and recognize personal issues that need to be addressed, such as one’s involvement in a toxic relationship, which can have an impact on personal health.

I speak again with Jon Frederickson, whom I last spoke with nearly 4 years ago back on episode #365 about his Effective Dynamic Therapy Techniques book. Today, we’ll be discussing his new 2017 book, THE LIES WE TELL OURSELVES: How to Face the Truth, Accept Yourself, and Create a Better Life.

Best-Selling Author Filippo Voltaggio is also a Public Speaker, Radio Show Host and Life Coach, with the moniker “Master of Change.” Among the many life changes that have earned him the moniker “Master of Change,” Filippo started his professional career working his way up to Junior Management in a Fortune 500 Top 3 Company. Despite many Industry awards and accolades, he left to pursue his childhood love, music. As a singer/songwriter and entertainer, he put two CDs on the market, appeared before Presidents, sang on PBS as a soloist with full orchestra several times, and received many awards, including numerous Sergio Franchi Awards and NIAF Grants. He and his songs have been featured in several Hollywood films including “A Walk in The Clouds” with Keanu Reeves and “Noise” with Tim Robbins. In yet another life change, Filippo temporarily put his singing career on hold to pursue another of his loves, hosting. After an initial foray into terrestrial radio broadcasting with his show, “Filippo and the Chef,” he landed on his current hit, as the host of “The LIFE CHANGES Show.” In a short time, he has already earned President Barack Obama’s “President’s Call to Service Award” and the “Master Award” from the Save the World Foundation. Concurrent to his career changes, in addition to his Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering Management, Filippo’s lifelong interests in the Esoteric Sciences have lead him to pursue and achieve certifications in Life Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy and Hypnotherapy, and as an Energetic Alchemy Master, Reiki Master Teacher, Reconnective Healer, and Theta Healer. As a Life Coach and Group Leader he has created two courses of his own, “The Life IMPROVment Workshop” and “The RECALIBRATION.” Though Filippo has authored many magazine articles, and though writings of his have been featured in books, “The Little Dog That Could” is his first full-length book. True to the underlying theme of his life, the book is a true story full of life changing experiences between him and a little dog he came to know. Among many heart touching moments, the story offers the reader the opportunity for many life changes of their own.
