The Truth about Trauma

Intro: Jeannine Rashidi, Ayurvedic Doctor, Briefly explains how her EDHIR® process came to be, Exploring all the versions of “Jeannine” & Discovering what they needed so Healing could happen, the Integrating so she could Relate/Respond differently with self, others & the world.

2:10-6:35 Dr. Alina shares how they came into the trauma healing space 6 years before choosing the speacialty…during massage school…drawing a connection between the mind & the the body. This was their first “intuitive hit”. Appreciating the education they received from Bastyr University, their passionate studies continued, realizing that mental health goes beyond the mind and emerges from the nervous system.

6:45 Dr. Alina speaks on her specialty of Ketamine therapy & how you see things from a place of detachment vs feeling you are “in it”

8:56-12:10 Dr. Alina speaks on their past view of the psychedelic field being full of Spiritual Narcissism and they, themself were new as of the last 3 years to the psychedelic space. They felt, at the time, their impression was that those in the psychedelic field were being used as a way of spiritual bypassing and not being used as a true journey… Until they met Dr. Harvey who said Ketamine is not a Magic bullet. That was when their perspective changed on the subject of psychedelics.

12:14-14:40 Jeannine Rashidi, AD, asks Dr. Alina how their personal journey of healing trauma has shaped their practice. They create a safe landing space for others…

14:44-17:44 Jeannine Rashidi, AD shares that she was not always drawn to the Trauma specialty. She was drawn to psychology from a very early age due her parents behavior and her own thoughts and behaviors. Jeannine mentions her surprise to discover that her & Alina began as massage therapists and both had the same a-ha moment of the mind-body connection. Jeannine noticed her own trauma memories re-surfacing when she received massage which created even more curiosity of the mind body connection and the impressions that the body stores. When Jeannine Rashidi, AD began her massage practice, clients naturally spoke of their trauma and she questioned her ability to support them as she was just beginning her healing journey…..yet clients felt safe…she spent the next 22 years educated herself…created the EDHIR® process, went into Ayurvedic medicine & got her Doctor Level Certification from Kerala Ayurveda Academy, specializing in Sattvavajaya Chikitsa (Ayurvedic Psychiatry & Psychotherapy) & wrote Abundance Beyond Trauma. Dr. Alina shares their surprise at finding out Jeannine’s journey to specializing in trauma, live.

17:44-23:44 Jeannine, AD shares what drew her to Ayurvedic medicine…Her out of body experience where she passed out and saw herself having what seemed like a seizure….coming back into her body not being able to see, her hands and feet ice cold and an inner knowing to not move or be near people. The next morning, arriving at the emergency room all tests cleared and her symptoms diagnosed as a “spell”..... Half jokingly, Jeannine asks if she needs a Witch doctor for said Spell. That evening she falls asleep and has a lucid dream which was not unusual. That dream led her to Dr. Jayarajan Kodikannath at Kerala Ayurveda Academy- 10 min. From the home she has just moved into. Dr. Jay spent 90 min. With Jeannine and confidently gave her a plan to bring her to balance. This confidence created the curiosity to learn Ayurveda. 23:44 Jeannine, AD shares the most precious thing she received from her trauma healing journey…The Relationship She has with Herself! Because at the end of the day who are you spending the most time with? YOU. Dr. Alina agrees & shares that in order for healthy communities to thrive we must have a healthy relationship with self, then we will have healthy relationships with others. END: The duo share the heartfelt moment of the shared belief.
