S2. Ep. 41 Upgrade Your Brain After Trauma with Dr. John King

Samantha Horwitz and John Salerno Season 2 Episode 41

Hosts and PTSI Resilience Trainers John Salerno and Samantha Horwitz discuss  healing your brain from trauma with the creator of BrainTap, Dr. John King on @A Badge of Honor TV.

Dr. John A. King is an author, poet, long-time activist and founder of the Give Them a Voice Foundation in Texas, which he launched in 2015 to provide advocacy, support, resources and rescue for those who have been sexually abused or trafficked, and support for those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Dr. King understands what the victims experienced.

At 3pm. On a Thursday. In 2008. Dr. King experienced total recall of over a decade of sexual abuse by his parents and their friends that he suppressed…and the walls came tumbling down.

ALL GONE. Marriage. Career. Health.

He sought help from a therapist, who burst out crying and said she couldn’t cope with what they had done to me, it was the worst story she had heard in 30 years of counseling, and I thought…WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT.

So he did what my old boxing coach taught me. He tucked in his chin and threw punches, refused to quit. John wasn’t going to die broken because of what someone else did to him.

The result, a book of poetry anonymously called No Working Title – a life in progress. Out of his journey grew the Give The A Voice Foundation. Our aims are Advocacy, Resourcing and Rescue to those that have been abused and trafficked and those that suffer from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 

Along the way, in response to every person met who said, “Why are you not MORE crazy,” John wrote #dealwithit: Living Well with PTSD. It is a summary of the lessons I learned and the principles. Learn more and connect with Dr. John King here: https://drjohnaking.com/
