In 1970, while a junior in Cornell University’s College of Engineering, Ken Kunken broke his neck making a tackle on a kick-off in a lightweight football game against Columbia University. Ken sustained a spinal cord injury at the C 4-5 level, rendering him a quadriplegic, almost totally paralyzed from the shoulders down. Ken spent more than 9 months in various hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. While still a patient, Ken testified before a United States Senate Sub-Committee on Health Care, chaired by Senator Edward Kennedy. In 1971, almost 20 years before the Americans with Disabilities Act, Ken returned to the Cornell campus, where he completed his undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering. Ken estimates that he had to be pulled up or bounced down close to 100 steps just to attend his first day of classes. Ken is the first quadriplegic to graduate from Cornell University. Upon graduation, Ken decided to change his career goal. He wanted to work with and help people, particularly those with disabilities. Ken went on to earn a Master of Arts degree at Cornell in education and a Master of Education degree at Columbia University in psychology. Ken is the first quadriplegic to earn a graduate degree from Cornell University. In 1977, Ken was hired by Abilities Inc. in Albertson, NY to be its College Work Orientation Program Coordinator. Ken coordinated a program which provided educationally related work experiences for severely disabled college students. He also maintained a vocational counseling caseload of more than 20 severely disabled individuals. While working at the Center, Ken became a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and made numerous public presentations on non-discrimination, affirmative action and employment of the disabled. In 1977, Ken was named the Long Island Rehabilitation Associations “Rehabilitant of the Year” and in 1979 Ken was the subject of one of the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale’s nationally syndicated radio broadcasts “The American Character”. Wanting to accomplish still more, Ken enrolled in Hofstra University’s School of Law, where he earned a Juris Doctor degree in 1982. Ken then went to work as an assistant district attorney in Nassau County, Long Island. Ken was promoted a number of times during his more than 40 years with the District Attorney’s Office, eventually becoming one of the Deputy Bureau Chiefs of the County Court Trial Bureau, where he helped supervise more than 20 other assistant district attorneys. In addition, over his years working in the Office, Ken supervised more than 50 student interns. In 1996 Ken received the Honorable Thomas E. Ryan, Jr. Award presented by the Court Officers Benevolent Association of Nassau County for outstanding and dedicated service as an Assistant District Attorney. In 1999, Ken was awarded the George M. Estabrook Distinguished Service Award presented by the Hofstra Alumni Association, Inc. Beginning in 2005, for nine consecutive years, “The Ken Kunken Most Valuable Player Award” was presented annually by The Adirondack Trust Allegiance Bowl in Saratoga Springs, NY, in recognition of Ken’s personal accomplishments, contributions to society and extraordinary courage. In 2009, Ken became a member of the Board of Directors of Abilities Inc., and in 2017 he became a member of the Board of Directors for the parent company of Abilities Inc., the Viscardi Center. In 2020, Ken was inducted into “The Susan M. Daniels Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame,” as a member of the class of 2019. In March 2024, Ken was named one of the Long Island Business News Influencers in Law. Ken retired from full-time employment in 2016, but continued to work with the District Attorney’s Office for the next eight years in a part time capacity, providing continuing legal education lectures and litigation guidance. For years, Ken has tried to inspire people to do more with their lives. In October 2023, Ken’s memoir “I Dream of Things That Never Were: The Ken Kunken Story” was published. In 2003 Ken married Anna and in 2005 they became the proud parents of triplet boys: Joey, Jimmy and Timmy. On June 23, 2023 the triplets graduated from Oceanside High School, fifty-five years after Ken had graduated from the same school.

We all have issues, and everyone is addicted to something. One half of families have someone struggling with substance abuse or mental health issues, but only about 10% of those hurting people are getting any help. There are practical principles and steps that have been proven to work that integrate principles from recovery, wellness, psychology, neuroscience, and personal development that can not only help people live life better but to also prevent or lessen the impact of behavioral health issues. STEPS is a nonprofit organization that provides easy-to-use resources to help people understand and deal with issues including addiction, recovery, mental health, living effectively, and personal well-being. We also have a strong focus on helping families by reaching parents and other caregivers as well as each individual in the familyIn Steve Ward’s words: I struggled with alcoholism and other members of my family dealt with substance abuse, mental health issues, and other problems as well. But I saw there are proven ways to not only prevent behavioral health issues but to live life better. Those dark times led me to leave the business world after 38 years and found a new nonprofit ministry to help people improve their lives and prevent compulsive issues from robbing them and their family of the peace and joy they deserve. I have spoken to, taught, coached, and shared content with many thousands of people to help them take steps toward a positive future. I'm the author of two books and the Next Right STEPS blog.

While there are plenty of doctors who find incredible solutions for their patients without living through the experience themselves, there’s something special that happens when the solution was developed by someone who has experienced the same struggle too.My guest today is Dr. Satya Sardonicus, a chiropractor and expert in the neurobiology of stress. She developed the NeuroFascial Flow Method as a way to save her own life after more than a decade of suffering from a crazy list of symptoms. Symptoms like chronic fatigue, anxiety and depression, POTS, fibromyalgia, drop attacks, sensory overload and more.The root cause of her symptoms ended up being Cerebellar Tonsillar Ectopia (CTE) or chiari - a brain herniation that put her nervous system into a constant state of fight or flight and drained her body’s resources.So here’s the interesting part - today she lives 95% symptom free but her brain might actually still be herniated. So one of the things we’re going to discuss that will be interesting to everyone listening is “how important is it to find the root cause of your illness”?Dr. Satya (as she’s known by her more than 50K TikTok followers) has been sharing tips for free on social media and joins us today to talk about how to help your brain become more receptive to change and healing.

3 Top Tips1. Check People’s Veracity, Vision, and Values: Before forming close relationships or partnerships, ensure that the people you surround yourself with are aligned with your values. Evaluate their authenticity (veracity), what they aspire to (vision), and what truly matters to them (values). 2. Reject False Formulas: Society often pushes us to believe that our performance, status, and appearance determine our worth. But true significance, security, and acceptance come from a higher source/power, not from external achievements or recognition. 3. Miracles Often Come From Misfortunes: The challenges and hardships you face can be the very catalysts for the greatest miracles in your life. What seems like misfortune today may be the foundation for future growth, healing, and success.

I have always been a curious person. Try taking a new road, a different direction, another adventure—or maybe failure. As a result, I have gone from homelessness to a business owner to a published author. Along the way I was a door-to-door salesman, children’s home counselor, substitute school teacher, truck driver, fireman, building contractor, minister and journalist.Eventually I hit my stride at 53 when I started GOOD SAMARITAN HOME, a non-profit agency helping people restart their lives after prison. But there was a lot of resistance to our program, requiring years of legal conflict, community networking, and just plain hard work. Initially our budget was $5,000 with just one program house. Now we have 19 houses, a staff of 10 people, and a $2 million budget by constantly asking the question: “What is the need in the community, and how can we help meet that need?”Then at 61, I finished my doctorate to better help me live our motto in the street where it was needed most. At 75, I published my debut novel called RUNNING AS FAST AS I CAN, a fictionalized story of one man’s journey to overcome an abusive background to find forgiveness and love. But even publishing was no easy journey. My novel was rejected nearly 200 times. But now it has garnered 23 awards, including the prestigious 2024 StoryTrade Book Award for debut novel of the year.Finally, at 76, on a lark, I saw an advertisement for extras in the television series “1923” being filmed nearby, and submitted my name and was hired. Now I can add “actor” to my resume—although I don’t plan on moving to Hollywood anytime soon!So I am very familiar with second, third and fourth chances that many of us need to reach our goals. It is in developing what I call "calloused hands and a tender heart" along the journey.
3 Top Tips:If I were to offer advice to someone just starting his/her journey, I would say to remember that success NEVER comes overnight. It is a marathon, not a sprint. Above all, keep your eyes on your goal, AND ALWAYS PICTURE YOURSELF GETTING THERE.Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Always keep running. Life is written in pencil. We get lots of second chances. It is our failures that develop the calloused hands and tender heart needed for success.

And based on the reader reactions thus far, it is the focus of the lives of many people as well.Life is written in pencil. We get lots of second, third and fourth chances.

As a child, Bev lived in a very unpredictable and chaotic environment where she never knew if she could rely on her parents to meet her emotional needs. This led her to absorb unhealthy relationship ideas based on what she was witnessing: she believed relationships were supposed to be unbalanced, uncertain, and overall chaotic. If you have an insecure attachment style, you probably relate to her experience, and navigating relationships can be particularly difficult for you.Prior to becoming a Certified Attachment Practitioner and founding Securely Loved, Bev was an Executive Leader, University Lecturer and published author, having obtained her Masters' Degree in 2006. She has dedicated her entire career (25+ years) working with adults in the realm of personal growth and professional development.

About Jennifer Westcott Hi I'm Jen. I am a therapist, artist, mother, wife, friend. I am a woman devoted and passionate to making therapists the best they can be, the most supported and human and kind to themselves. the reason I believe so strongly in this is through my own journey through healing and encountering both great and awful therapy! As the mental health field becomes more needed than ever, it's essential to support therapists as HUMANS. We already know how to get supervision, we already know how to get training, but there are not nearly enough places to talk about the human experience of being a therapist; how it affects us and how we affect it. I grew up in an alcoholic, dysfunctional family that looked really good on the outside with professional parents and kids who were 'bright' and went far...but inside the family were secrets of incest and alcoholism. When I was 36 years old I suddenly remembered being sexually abused by my mother. I nearly went completely mad and definitely went quite mad. This started my journey to healing and sobriety and I continue to trudge daily. The help I needed took me to many therapists' couches, psychologist appointments, psychiatry appointments, alternative healing circles, and 12-step meetings. Through this inside experience, I became PASSIONAtE about what helps people and what doesn't. I changed my complete approach to being a therapist after being a client and NEEDING HELP and getting it, and not getting it. My job as a clinical supervisor and private therapist became an experiment in 'what helps' clients heal from trauma and addiction and I tried a LOT OF THINGS and still do! What I've learned for sure is this: therapists who are authentic, real, and human help clients profoundly. How then do I support therapists to KNOW their own stories and wounds and USE this knowledge to have a healing impact on their clients? How do I support therapists in breaking out of the mold they became trapped in during their graduate program and remembering the sacredness and marvel of human healing? Creating Therapist Sanctuary is my attempt to do this and to hold up therapists in the sacred and meaningful work they do. Also, shout out to my old mentor Stuart Smally from 90's SNL who 'was not an actual therapist but a member of many 12-step groups'. Stuart; I love you.
3 Top TipsPermission for therapists to be more vulnerable, making them love what they do more deny the culture of putting our 'best self forward', let's put our most wounded self forward too! Therapists support and hold each other up better than any cheesy self-care method that doesn't even work and that we try doing alone in the bath.

Owen Marcus started helping men because he realized he needed help with his relationships. His 30-year journey from leading men’s groups led to writing a book, a documentary film on his work and starting three businesses that adapt the science behind stress and trauma therapy, attachment theory, and leadership development to train men to succeed in all their relationships.His work has been featured in Men’s Health, New York Times, The Today Show, ABC News, NPR, and more. Leading therapists such as Esther Perel and Sue Johnson have endorsed this work because of the sustainable change it produces. His passion for the work and the men it severs comes through the unique stories he has from decades of doing the work. Both men and women leave inspired and with a new frame to view men and how to help them.
3 Top TipsMy ROC Formula: slow down to Relax, Open up to vulnerability, and reach out for ConnectionHow we disconnect from our own experience or others is not our fault. Those coping mechanisms are survival strategies that have outlived their usefulness. We have a growing epidemic of drug use, suicides, loneliness, and despair in part because men as they get older don’t have real friends. We have found easy and fun ways for men to develop some of the deepest friendships of their lives. We are not therapy, addiction recovery, or suicide prevention services, but we have several men come out and say, if it wasn’t for this work, they would have killed themselves. We have created a scalable way for men to help men.

Theodore A. Henderson MD, PhD is president and founder of Neuro-Luminance Inc, which is bringing revolutionary treatments to bear upon traumatic brain injury, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, post-COVID fatigue syndrome, and other brain disorders. He holds three patents and three patents-pending. Dr. Henderson is president of the International Society of Applied Neuroimaging. He has published in neuroimaging, psychopharmacology, dementia, photobiomodulation, and traumatic brain injury. He has over 70 publications in top research journals and has been cited in over 900 scientific papers. His recent book, Brighter Days Ahead is featured on Amazon. Dr. Henderson will help you rethink brain disorders like depression and brain injury and introduce you to exciting new treatments which actually activate the brain’s own healing process.
I am Dr. Theodore Henderson - psychiatrist. My work is focused on innovative treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders. These include ketamine infusion therapy (more on this below), multi-Watt infrared light therapy, antiviral therapy, and anti-inflammation therapy. My approaches shake up the foundations of what cause psychiatric illnesses. Gone are the chemical imbalance theories. It is infections, inflammation, and degenerative disease that cause most psychiatric conditions. I recently published a book, Brighter Days Ahead: Leaving Depression Behind Through Innovative New Treatments. In it, I explore ketamine in some depth - but more as a model for how the brain responds to depression and PTSD.I explore other innovative treatments, including multi-watt infrared light therapy (LUMIT) - which powerfully activates neuroplasticity. I would love to enlighten your audience to LUMIT as a new treatment approach. Literally, using light as a treatment. There is nothing purer than light. LUMIT treatment is curing...yes, curing...Long COVID. Patients who could not climb a flight of stairs or think, who had to take a leave of absence from work, who tried many other treatments with no benefit - are now back to working, hiking, running, and living their life.We have seen amazing improvement in PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), depression, and anxiety symptoms in our patients using LUMIT therapy, whether they are veterans, first-responders, or civilians. Also, I feel the role of viruses in depression, anxiety, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological conditions is grossly underappreciated and ignored by Medicine.
3 top tips- depression is not a chemical imbalance. It is degeneration of the brain. Fortunately, it is reversible.- traumatic brain injury can be healed. As long as the brain cells are alive, they can be reinvigorated, reactivated, and repaired. Light is the treatment.- Long COVID has a treatment. Light is the answer.

In Pat’s words: My new book, Surviving Alex: A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, and Addiction (Rutgers University Press, May 2024). It would be useful to talk about my goals. And the two questions that drove my narrative: how to survive something trauma like this, and what might we have done differently? It's most useful to focus on what "we" more generally could do, beyond individual families. I was a professor of sociology at Rutgers University when in 2015 my husband Chip and I suffered the tragic loss of our 25-year old son Alex from a heroin overdose. Then, and earlier during his active addiction, we were baffled and confused, not to mention heartbroken, by the insanity and chaos that turned our lives upside down and inside out. My training as a sociologist led me on a quest to better understand what happened to my family. Building on my professional and academic perspectives, I wrote a sociological memoir, Surviving Alex: A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, and Addiction, published in May 2024 by Rutgers University Press.I spent much of my sociological career investigating systemic patterns of inequality by sex and race, focusing on how subtle mechanisms of inequity get reproduced. After Alex’s death, I realigned my research and advocacy interests, turning grief into activism. In Surviving Alex, I use the same skills to examine extant explanations and treatments for the ever-growing overdose epidemic and find them wanting. Weaving together the personal and the sociological, I learned about the broader set of factors implicated in mental health and substance use disorders. Instead of focusing on individual-level choice and brain disease arguments, I direct my attention to the larger social context in which those individual-level actions occur. Ultimately, I hope to inspire a moral community of action to realign public health policy to address the overdose crisis.In Surviving Alex, I describe the two roads families travel in the carousel ride from hell that is addiction. The ideal road—what all parents want for their child—travels a straight line through an idyllic childhood, high school and college graduations, career success, a family of one’s own. A second road—one that parents dread—heads directly into the storms, depression, anxiety, mental health disorders, substance use, and in the worst case, death. These two paths are not at opposite ends of the same continuum, but rather roads that run parallel to one other, and frequently intersect. I describe how Alex walked each of these roads, veering toward happiness, success, and sanity at some points in his life, and toward anxiety, despair, and addiction at others. I make clear that “good families” travel both these roads, arguing that addiction happens to people from “good families.” Indeed, as I underscore, addiction can happen to anyone.I integrate existing research and writing on addiction with the information I gathered over the years we lived with Alex’s mental health and substance use, and with the trauma associated with his death. I talked with important people in Alex’s life, including his friends, therapist, teachers, police officers, family members, and others who met him along the way. As Alex’s medical heir, I collected intake and medical information from the institutions in which he resided, providing a wealth of information from social workers, doctors, psychiatrists, rehab staff, and jailers to flesh out my personal narrative and interviews.Ultimately, I imagine a world steeped in compassionate, paradigm-shifting harm reduction methods, as opposed to the punitive, choice-based approaches that currently exist. I champion more holistic approaches that value the humanity of those contending with substance use and mental health disorders, leading to more effective public and private policy strategies and reductions in the corrosive effects of stigma. We need to build stronger bridges from the harm reduction policy world to the lives of families facing addiction, meeting those who use substances where they are. There is substantially more to the explanation of the overdose crisis than bad choices made by those in the throes of addiction. Understanding the larger, systemic picture is key to understanding how to fix the problem, and the kinds of roles that government and private partnerships can play in developing solutions.
3 Top Tips1) Move beyond conventional explanations to combat addiction, focusing on health-based as opposed to punitive, criminal justice approaches.2) Implement harm reduction strategies to produce holistic, compassionate approaches to addiction.3) Promote multiple paths to recovery and reform ineffectual treatment systems by introducing medicines for substance use.
