Facing Trauma and Embracing Shadow Work with Dr. Bob Beare

We all have traumatic experiences to overcome. Whether it’s physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, abandonment, and/or neglect, we all have faced adversity in our lives. While each of us carry our own degree of guilt and shame from past experiences, our guest this week shares how to overcome our trauma.    This week, we are talking with Dr. Bob Beare, Ph.D, LPC-S, CEO of Deep Waters Recovery and Host of The Recovery Crew Podcast. Bob is in long term recovery and has been a leader in the Mental Health and Addiction field for 20 years. Holding advanced degrees in Music, Theatre, Clinical Psychology, and Organizational Psychology, he is also a professional actor and singer. He is a Licensed Counselor Supervisor and Senior Clinical Consultant to several treatment centers.    Bob is also the Founder of <a href= "http://creativelifeinstitute.com/the-brave-heart-experience/"> The Brave Heart Experience</a> (men’s intensive healing workshops) and The Deep Waters Intensives (for men and women). He is also the Author of <a href= "http://creativelifeinstitute.com/book/">The Creative Fire: 10 Weeks to Emotional and Creative Fitness</a>.    Throughout our conversation, Dr. Beare shares the importance of community and how sharing your story gives permission to others to do the same. We also discuss the effectiveness of EMDR treatment and recognizing how trauma manifests in the body. From the works of Carl Jung, Dr. Beare also shares our “shadow” self and how to recognize behavioral patterns associated with our shame.    Topics Discussed:   <ul> <li aria-level="1">How grief and joy flow from the same river</li> </ul> <ul> <li aria-level="1">5 roots of the trauma (and how to overcome them)</li> </ul> <ul> <li aria-level="1">How shame manifests from traumatic experiences</li> </ul>   <div style="margin-left: 2em;"> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Blending community and clinical treatment</li> </ul> </div>   <ul> <li aria-level="1">Recognizing the shadow work we need heal</li> </ul>   Connect with Bob Beare:    <ul> <li aria-level="1">Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=968421346901500">https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=968421346901500</a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li aria-level="1">Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdKiIKgcUV/">https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdKiIKgcUV/</a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li aria-level="1">Twitter: <a href= "https://twitter.com/RecoveryDeep">https://twitter.com/RecoveryDeep</a> </li> </ul>   <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7L6bFBR33g">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7L6bFBR33g</a> </li> </ul> Additional Resources:   <ul> <li aria-level="1">SoundCloud: <a href= "https://soundcloud.com/user-117471037-568462621/episode-45-step-11-dr-bob-interviews-scott-basinger"> https://soundcloud.com/user-117471037-568462621/episode-45-step-11-dr-bob-interviews-scott-basinger</a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li aria-level="1">Spotify: <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/episode/4bBxoxIT0xldWt8DQUEm0Z"> https://open.spotify.com/episode/4bBxoxIT0xldWt8DQUEm0Z</a> </li> </ul>   <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Website: <a href= "https://www.deepwatersrecovery.com/podcast/episode/bfba7bc3/episode-45-step-11-dr-bob-interviews-scott-basinger"> https://www.deepwatersrecovery.com/podcast/episode/bfba7bc3/episode-45-step-11-dr-bob-interviews-scott-basinger</a> </li> </ul>   Connect with Positive Recovery MD Podcast: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Website: <a href= "https://www.positiverecoverymd.com/">https://www.positiverecoverymd.com</a> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Facebook Group: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/577870242872032">https://www.facebook.com/groups/577870242872032</a> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg"> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg</a> </li> </ul> Connect with Positive Recovery Centers Online: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters/">https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters/</a> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters/">https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters/</a> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters/"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters/</a></li> </ul>   Contact Positive Recovery Centers: If you or someone you know needs help, visit the website, or call the number below to schedule an assessment.
