SEASON 4 of Mind Your Own Karma is highlighting the effects of trauma and stress on the body, and talking about all the ways it can be unraveled. Healing is possible, and I believe that among all this juicy information I have for you this season, you'll find the right healing combination for you. Neuroplastic Symptoms: How Hidden Trauma Can Cause Chronic Pain and Medically Unexplained Symptoms with Dr. David Clarke Have you ever experienced chronic pain, fatigue, or other mysterious symptoms—only to be told by doctors that everything looks “normal”? If so, you’re not alone. Many people suffer from physical symptoms that don’t show up on standard medical tests, leaving them frustrated and without answers. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Clarke, a leading expert in the mind-body connection and a key figure at the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS). We dive deep into how unresolved trauma, stress, and suppressed emotions can manifest as real, debilitating physical symptoms. If you’ve ever been told “It’s all in your head,” this conversation will change the way you think about your health. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why modern medicine often overlooks the mind-body connection. ✅ How emotional stress can create very real physical symptoms ✅ The science behind neuroplastic symptoms. ✅ What to do if you think you could be suffering with neuroplastic symptoms.

In this episode, I share a personal situation between myself and my birth mother. I don't have all the answers, and I ask you, my listeners, what do you think? Have you ever experienced this, or have you noticed your trauma has caused you to misunderstand others' intentions? Let me know! If you are interested in finding out more about a light hypnotic therapy that can allow release of buried traumas, I want you to know about something called Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery," or SMGI. It's helped me release some key chunks of my adoption trauma, and so much so that I was inspired to become a practitioner. This is my life's work and my purpose. I am now helping clients in my local city in a dedicated healing space, but I also am very excited to offer sessions via video, online. Check out my website if this interests you, because everyone should have hope that their pain can be processed, and I'm telling you, and my clients can tell you, it truly can.

After her own birth mother tried to abort her twice, Julie Brumley found herself frozen in an unconscious trauma response for decades until she found the power of somatic trauma healing.

She is also the CEO of Coming Home to Self, a company dedicated to helping adoptees heal.

Since 2013, Kevin has captivated his audiences with his candidness about how he was able to overcome his pain and fully embrace himself in order to live his best life. He lives to inspire others to break their own silence and know that help is available.

S3E42 - RACIST FAMILY ADOPTS BIRACIAL CHILD UNKNOWINGLY AND NEVER REVEALS — AUTHOR SHAWN, "BORN WITHOUT A RACE" 1:09:20

منذ 30 weeks1:09:20

1:09:20

In 1963, Shawn was placed for adoption because his white mother's family didn't want a biracial grandson. As an infant, he passed for white, so he was adopted by a racist, rural Indiana family who didn't realize that he was Black. Ashamed of his ethnicity, his mom concocted lies to hide his race from everyone, including Shawn. This lack of racial identity caused depressing confusion and conflict with his education, relationships, and career, but his mom insisted that he was not to search for his birth family until after she died. Around age 40, Shawn and his wife decided that they were well-suited to adopt other biracial babies. Through the adoption process, Shawn discovered clues that helped him locate and reunite with his biological family. Although Shawn's author name for his book "Born Without A Race" is Dr Michael Bauer, he wishes to be addressed as Shawn during this interview for personal reasons.
