In this special episode of THE SOULFAM PODCAST, Brett Cotter (@stressisgone on Insta) discusses his four step program to release stress and anxiety in a few moments. As a trauma expert with more than 25-years experience helping people break free from emotional pain and memories, Brett is the author of The Stress Is Gone Method, The Suicide Prevention Family Handbook, and 3 Keys to Managing PTSD. Brett has brought his signature method to Fortune 500 companies, hospitals, schools, military bases, and retreat centers including the Omega Institute, Kripalu, Sivananda Bahamas, and the Himalayan Institute. He is the trauma expert for Meditation University’s teacher training program, certifies students and mental health professionals online, and trains Vet-to-Vet Peer Specialists in his Suicide Prevention Protocol. Brett's approach is a compassionate blend of Eastern and Western philosophies mixed with humor, making him a captivating public speaker and an amazing guest on THE SOULFAM PODCAST. Brett shares his methods using body language and listening cues to further communication and his methods for recognizing anxiety and overwhelm. And then to break free to find joy, happiness and success. Brett hostws his first men's only retreat at the Omega Institute during Fourth of July weekend at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY recently. Having taught and shared his foolproof to women only retreats and co-ed retreats, Brett found a necessity for a men's only retreat. You can still sign up for weekend retreat at www.stressisgone.com or qualify for a scholarship to the retreat at www.stressisgone.org if you are a first responder or U.S. military veteran. Brett shares in this episode how men experience and understand emotions and pain differently than women with complete respect and admiration for each. Women often turn to each other for support and a listening ear. Women also inherently know because their experiences with their own menstrual cycles, birth, deaths, marriages and divorces that pain will eventually subside and things will at some point get better. But men, says Brett, experience pain and emotionality differently. Men compact pain and emotional often without release and without hope of escape or relief. That pain and unresolved emotion builds, compacting and pressurizing until there is nothing but darkness. Hence men are 3.5 to 4 times more likely to succeed at suicide than women. Women, according to WHO data, make more frequent attempts at suicide, but often recover. Men make fewer attempts according to WHO, but often succeed. In his work, Brett helps clients find the original source of their pain. He himself shares his experience with jealousy at age 27. At that time, he found his relationships always ended due his jealousy. Determined to resolve this issue, Brett began unearthing his pain. During some time spent in Sedona, AZ, Brett found his core wound through a healer and a light being who showed him that jealousy was not the problem. Instead, Brett had experienced feelings of abandonment as a child. You can reach Brett through his website at www.stressisgone.com or call 877-867-3529.

Are you a HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON? Do you recognize and feel a change in your environment immediately? Do you need time and space from individuals or crowds immediately afterward to feel centered again? Do you notice changes in voices, intonations and body language immediately? Is your body and nervous system a freeway of neuro-activity even in silence in a crowd? Have other chastised you for your sensitivity when it is actually your super power? Welcome to the world of Ixte Owul, TRANSPERSONAL SPIRITUAL GUIDE FOR THE HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON (@iste-owul, www.ixteowul.com) where these kinds of experience are celebrated, understood and encouraged.

If you’re curious if you fit the category, go to www.ixteowul.com where you can take a 20-pt quiz to determine if you fit the bill. This is not a sentence, it’s a blessing. It’s an understanding of your soul, your nervous system and your beautiful brain. In this episode of THE SOULFAM PODCAST, Ixte shares her methodology of treatment and understanding and integrating the parts of you that have seemed mystifying, aggravating and yet perfectly beautiful. As a mystic, tarot reader, energy guide and ceremonialist, Ixte created new techniques and methodologies for transforming what might have seemed overwhelming into a deep understanding of your own magic!!!!!!
