What You Can Expect:
Your own mental and emotional well-being is important!
We - all of us - are emotional beings. We are designed to feel a full spectrum of emotions. Unfortunately, it is easier and more common than you think to become disconnected from some or most of your emotions.
But emotions are vitally important! Not some of them - all of them! Emotions are crucial messages from your nervous system, and, if you don’t fully feel them, you will miss these messages and force your nervous system to escalate in an effort to be heard.
There may be certain emotions (anger, fear, sadness, guilt) that you don’t want to feel and try not to feel. You may think that these emotions are scary, not okay, inappropriate, or counterproductive. (Many families have certain emotions which are forbidden to be felt or expressed.) This leads to doing many unwise and unhealthy things in an effort to not feel these uncomfortable emotions.
All of your emotions are valuable and very important to feel. And none of your emotions can hurt you (though you might sometimes think otherwise).
Being able to sit with uncomfortable emotions without trying to fix, suppress, or wriggle away from them can give you incredible power, strength, clarity, insight, and peace.
Moreover, fully feeling your emotions is a skill which can be learned.

Your Hosts:
1. Raun K. Kaufman:
Over the past 25+ years, individuals, couples, families, and groups have benefitted from author, lecturer, and former non-profit CEO Raun K. Kaufman’s brain-centered, nervous-system-friendly, heart-led work in the field of mental-emotional health as well as in the field of autism.
- An international lecturer and graduate of the Ivy League’s Brown University with a degree in Biomedical Ethics, Raun has completed lecture tours in the U.S., United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Romania, France, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
- He has been interviewed by media such as National Public Radio, BBC Television, CBS, NBC, Fox News Channel, The London Telegraph, The Detroit Free Press, The Oregonian, and People Magazine.
- Having helped children and adults on the autism spectrum with their Neuro-Crashes – and then parents having Neuro-Crashes, Raun applied that knowledge to everyone else, as Neuro-Crashes have become an increasingly common phenomenon in the wider public.
- He is the author of the award-winning book, Autism Breakthrough: The Groundbreaking Method That Has Helped Families All Over the World.
- As a child, Raun was diagnosed with so-called “severe” (non-speaking) autism and recommended for lifelong institutionalization. Instead, his parents worked with him in a totally new way they developed, enabling him to blossom, grow, and, ultimately, accomplish everything his parents were promised he would not. A book and television movie were made about Raun’s inspiring journey.
