Summary: <a href="http://shrinkrapradio.com/images/James-Alexander2.jpg"></a><br> <br> Australian psychologist, Dr. James Alexander is author of the 2012 book, The Hidden Psychology of Pain, and the 2017 book, 'Getting the Z's You Want'. He became a psychologist after being nearly killed in a car accident as an 18 year old when his car was hit by a drunk driver. In addition to being very physically damaged, he was emotionally traumatized by the experience- resulting in many years of problems with sleep. When he began to physically recover form the accident, he found a collection of pop-psychology self help books in his fathers book shelf, and his psychological recovery began. Within the year, he decided he wanted to become a psychologist so as to help other people that had been similarly traumatized. This was 35 years ago, and for the last 30 years, he has been providing psychological services to a broad range of people in hospital settings, pain management clinics, rehabilitation services, and for the last 15 years, in private practice in NSW, Australia. he has a PhD in clinical health psychology, and whilst open to a range of approaches, he thinks of himself primarily as an EMDR practitioner. His new book is based on his own efforts to create better sleep.<br> <br> <br><br> <a style="color: #000000;"> Get A 10% discount on all my courses below </a><a href="https://www.zurinstitute.com/homeonline.html" target="_blank">through the Zur Institute using the discount code: DRDAVE88</a><br> <br><br><br> <br> <br> <a href="http://www.jungplatform.com">Get 10% discount on all lectures at The JungPlatform using our discount code: DRDAVE</a><br> <br> A psychology podcast by David Van Nuys, Ph.D.<br> <br> Copyright 2018: David Van Nuys, Ph.D.
