In this episode, Celtic has a glass of wine with the distinguished Dr. Damon Silas as they discuss his being inspired by the genre of Hip-Hop and his late sister Nikki, being drawn to trauma work at a young age, finding purpose in pain, using dance as a model for healing, focusing on integrating mind and body within therapy, observing the state of America’s psyche, recovering from the abuse and trauma of the Trump regime, how to come down from being constantly adrenalized, what it really means to heal from trauma, the power of storytelling in relating to the unconscious mind, the storming of the capitol, dealing with white entitlement, examining clinical depression and toxic positivity in the dance community, using EFT for healing, how to talk to friends with suicidal ideation, his ideal superpower, and being a reflection of the times by exuding joy and authenticity. Celtic learns the best and most expedient way to get punched in the throat.
