Life Amplified with Dan Mason

This week is a serious, but important podcast. We dig deep into the topic of trauma and abuse. One thing that can keep people from creating the future they want is unresolved abuse from the past. This episode could be the first step to help you move forward. Connie Lawrence is a clinical social worker with a certification in psychodrama with the American Board of Examiners. She's the founder of the Cleveland Psychodrama Institute and Developer of Recovery in Motion, an experiential therapy program that uses music, theatre games, and community-building activities to treat traumatized and addicted populations. Connie served as a trauma therapist at the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center. She's currently working as a coach, offering training and coaching to therapists, who want to enlighten their practice through the use of psychodrama and expressive art. Topics discussed in this interview include:How can unhealed trauma and abuse keep you from stepping fully into your life's purpose.The difference between guilt and shame.Why the trauma we've endured is actually less important than what happens after the trauma.How to move from being a victim to a survivor to a change maker.The importance of finding a community when it comes to healing.How you can find the help you need to move forward in your life.

It's sex and relationship week on Life Amplified. One of the biggest complaints in relationships is the lack of sex. Why do two people that were so into each other at first seem to fall away from intimacy? This week, Dan sits down with his dear friend Megan Riley, a sexual empowerment coach and the host of the podcast The Woman's Guide to the Orgasmic Life. Her insight into this topic will surprise you. This conversation started with talking about sex and how to ignite that hot passion, but it really goes in a different direction. And by the end of it, you'll learn that deep down, it's not about the sex. It's so much more than that. What ignites the flame between lovers is something inside of us that sometimes we seem to forget about: passion. And not the hot, steamy passion in bed. But the passion we have for ourselves and life. Topics on this week's podcast include...Why the lack of sex in a relationship is rarely about sex.The daily routine for both men and women to help you let go of stress and be present at home with your partner.The three magic words that will help a masculine partner connect with his feminine partner.The gateways to physical intimacy for both men and women.The importance of a masculine partner knowing their purpose and how it makes them irresistible to their feminine partner.Why it's important for a woman to know her needs in order for them to get met in a relationship.'What the goddess hour is and why it's an important weekly moment for women.The personal responsibility to love yourself the way you expect your partner to love you.The three vital components to make your partner feel seen and valued in a relationship.Megan's 24 hour foreplay rule.**************************************************** Find Megan at her website: meganmriley.com Find Megan on Instagram: @Megan.M.Riley ****************************************************** Join the Life Amplified Power Tribe and talk to Dan about this week's episode: facebook.com/groups/lifeamplified Join Dan on July 29th for a special talk on Long Island: https://www.eventsbywcgl.com/events/transformational-lunch-with-life-coach-dan-mason Learn more about Dan and how he can help you add more purpose, fulfillment, and joy in ALL aspects of your life at creativesoulcoaching.net Be social with Dan on Instagram and Twitter: @CSCDanMason
