The Psychology of Stress: Healing Trauma & Turning Off Triggers w/ Dr. David Rabin #370

The Life Stylist

Dr. David Rabin is a conscious innovator dedicated to elevating human consciousness through our inherent ability and right (last time I checked) to heal the monkey mind we’re collectively drowning in.

Right now, we’re jacked up on a pyramid of addictions, from physical substances and devices to other, less tangible habits, such as moral echo chambers and negative bias. In this enlightening physiological voyage with Dr. Rabin, we consider the potential to create space between triggers and actions in our shared mission to make peace with peace.

One way I have been tuning in to the body and confronting my “fight or flight” sympathetic nervous response is with Apollo: a novel touch therapy device that emits gentle waves of vibration, scientifically proven to improve your resilience to stress. Kudos for pushing the envelope of psychological possibilities forward in the offset of the pandemic, and maintaining a tight-knit team throughout this fiasco.

The scientific research on Apollo is fascinating – so intriguing, we nearly didn’t have time to touch on a few fan fave topics, such as psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, and the neurobiology of belief. Prepare for some jaw-dropping facts in this one.

After diving into the science, you’re probably going to want to check the Apollo out for yourself, so head to https://apolloneuro.com/lukestorey for a sweet 15% discount.
