Tell us a bit about yourself and what you do. We want to know more about what inspired you to specialize in trauma psychology, and how did your career journey lead you to work with victims of terror and war?
There are so many treatment methods. I understand that the NATAL methodology is being used in places like Chicago, in the US and also in Ukraine. Can you explain how narrative approaches help in the treatment of PTSD? What makes storytelling such a powerful tool in therapy?
Research is important for understanding all forms of psychology and how the mind works.  You've conducted extensive research on gender and trauma. What are some of the key differences you've found in how trauma manifests and is treated in men versus women?
NATAL has been working with people who are suffering from PTSD and trauma for more than 25 years. What are the most challenging aspects of working with victims of terror and war? How do you address these challenges in your work at NATAL?
As we just mentioned, a major focus of what NATAL does is to help and train other therapists and clinicians. What advice would you give to clinicians who are new to dealing with trauma patients?
How can non-professionals support friends or family members who have experienced traumatic events?
Over the years, how has your work impacted your view of human resilience and recovery?
How do you manage the emotional impact of working closely with trauma survivors?

Feelings and Reason - Activating Your Heart as Compass Despite the Ego's Interference

 
 
Ernie L. Vecchio, a mentor, spiritual teacher and trauma psychologist and a Licensed Clinical & Rehabilitation Psychologist who has written four books including his latest release, Feelings & Reason: Activating Your Heart as Compass Despite the Ego’s Interference, an international best-seller in four self-help categories joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Mental Health Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Ernie L. Vecchio discuss the following:
How is human suffering self-correcting?
What is the difference between suffering for ourselves versus suffering with ourselves?
How is your work the missing piece in the mental health model?
How do you know there is a difference between life as it is and life as intended?
What determines the possibility that everyone has the capacity to be mean-spirited?
Ernie L. Vecchio is a psycho-spiritual mentor and thought leader offering contemporary wisdom on human suffering. As a trauma psychologist whose career spans 30+ years, he has treated over 10,000+ patients who suffered severe trauma that ranged from amputation, head injury, sexual assault, and paralysis. He discovered a common theme in their suffering and developed a healthy way for people to cope with adversity.
Vecchio reveals a developmental understanding of how adversity becomes an opportunity for self-correction, growth, and healing. By acknowledging the human ego is only one-third of a larger system, people learn not only what is observing their life, but why and where it is intending for them to go.
Vecchio is the author of four books that includes his latest release, Feelings & Reason: Activating Your Heart as Compass Despite the Ego’s Interference, an international best-seller. In the book, professional helpers and seekers are introduced to a developmental and new psychological theory about human suffering that merges with secular spirituality. It is the missing piece in the mental health model and advances the mind, body and spirit movement. In essence, when one utilizes the heart as a compass, the road less traveled (inward journey) presents us with a reliable map toward self-recovery and our fullest expression.
