00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.159
At the end of the day, it's not about what
9
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.560
you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what
10
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.159
you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up,
11
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.719
who you've made better. It's about what you've given back.
12
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.759

16
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:54.920
Lisa, Welcome to the show.
17
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.920
Doctor Doug, thank you so much for having me. It's
18
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.719
my delight to meet you and be here today.
19
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.880
Oh and I see you have a friend already.
20
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.079
This is Smellie Katch. She loves being in the podcasts.
21
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.079
Oh that's great. Well, you know what I find interesting
22
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.840
is I've done a little bit of research on this
23
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.920
is that one of the comments that talks about how
24
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.519
as we start to discover certain things, it not only
25
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.239
shows us what's going on, but it also reflects a
26
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.439
potential for healing and so on and so forth. What
27
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.120
I'd love for you to do share with the audience
28
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.359
number one, the name of your book, but also what
29
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.599
did you experience in your life that brought you to
30
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:39.239
the point that you're doing this?
31
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.640
Okay, really good question.
32
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.439
So my book title is called The Chiron Effect chi
33
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:53.840
Ron keeling our core wounds meaning emotional wounds through astrology,
34
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.959
empathy and self forgiveness. And the reason why this work
35
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.319
is so important to me and why I am a therapist.
36
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.439
I from six years old, doctor Doug. My parents remembered
37
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.520
me saying I want to be a psychiatrist. And I've
38
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.039
always been so curious about people and what makes us tick,
39
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.360
like our habits, our patterns. And I know that our
40
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.360
lives are composed of the thoughts that we think every
41
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.719
day on repeat that become our beliefs. Those beliefs in
42
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.919
form the actions that we take and that we don't take.
43
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:32.240
And I really am inspired to help people expand those parameters,
44
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.919
those boundaries that we put upon ourselves believing we can't
45
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:40.240
or shouldn't. And that's why I really love working with
46
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.360
people to help them heal, because as we heal ourselves,
47
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.560
we're able to step more into the life that we
48
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.319
really want to have and life meets us there.
49
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:50.960
And what do what you think about that?
50
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.840
Even well, and you know as you say that, I'm
51
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.639
going to ask you to be real transparent if you're
52
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.240
comfortable with it. Is what I find is that so
53
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.360
often we are able to help others because of the
54
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.879
actual experiences that we have had in our own lives.
55
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.159
And for you, were there certain items or experiences that
56
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.520
you had all that brought you to the point of
57
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.599
being able to do that self discovery, heal and move
58
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:20.479
into this direction.
59
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:21.639
Absolutely.
60
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.000
Yes.
61
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.800
When I was younger, in fourth fifth grade, I was
62
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.560
bullied for being slow, and I remember how painful that was,
63
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.479
being the last kid picked to be on, say, the
64
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.560
kickball team, and feeling like nobody wanted nobody wanted to
65
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:41.159
play with me, and that was reinforced by in my family.
66
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:41.759
There was a.
67
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:43.960
Period of like some really good times and then my
68
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.560
parents just started to not get along.
69
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.199
They ended up divorcing, and there was a lot of
70
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.080
verbal abuse. There was some domestic violence.
71
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.319
There was some physical abuse, and so I felt like
72
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.520
my home wasn't safe. And I didn't know those words
73
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.919
when I was young, or even an adolescent. I just
74
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.240
knew when i'd come home, i'd kind of scan the
75
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.639
environment to see, like how are mom and Dad?
76
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.400
Like how can I how do.
77
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.400
I need to show up and be I know today
78
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.919
it's called hypervigilance when we scan our environment to see
79
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.279
if it's safe or not.
80
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.759
And so I started to slowly kind.
81
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.959
Of minimize and diminish my likes, needs and even interest
82
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.040
to just kind of see is it, how is the
83
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.560
family tonight? Like what do I need to do to
84
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.000
try to keep the peace, and what do I need
85
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:31.439
to do for.
86
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:32.360
My brother and sister?
87
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.639
Not knowing that these things when you're older can create
88
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.360
some issues for you, like.
89
00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.279
You might become a real big people pleaser.
90
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:41.399
You might not know what you even like or want
91
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.759
because you're used to deferring to others as a coping
92
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.639
mechanism to just keep things kosher, keep things as peaceful
93
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.680
as they can. And I didn't even know that that
94
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.399
really wasn't even up to me. I thought it was
95
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.240
by me doing certain things that pleased my parents that
96
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.720
things stayed peaceful, but it wasn't at all. So I
97
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.279
really outsourced a lot of my self esteem and things
98
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.439
I had to rebuild when I entered therapy at the
99
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.120
young age of twenty one. And I knew when I
100
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.519
entered therapy at twenty one, this is what I'm going
101
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.560
to do with my life, because I knew I had
102
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.560
a path to walk to heal, and yet I wasn't
103
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.720
afraid of it because I felt really excited to be
104
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.160
able to do this for myself and then help others.
105
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.959
So how did you come across this concept of chirn
106
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.680
and explain to the audience what that is?
107
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:39.079
Sure, So I've been a psychotherapist since two thousand is
108
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.000
when I got my license. I started practicing in nineteen
109
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.839
ninety eight, so over twenty five years now that I've
110
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.319
been a therapist, and about ten years ago I started
111
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.600
to get really frustrated Doctor Doug and wondering why do
112
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:57.160
I have so many successful clients that are experiencing anxiety
113
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.680
and depression, and why after I had been in therapy
114
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.959
as a client for twenty years, really self aware, really
115
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.560
like about my own personal growth and development, why was
116
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.439
I still feeling anxious and depressed. And ten years ago
117
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.800
I started meditating as a daily practice, and when I
118
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.360
was meditating, I was asking God, I was asking the
119
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.560
universe these two questions, why is this happening with.
120
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:23.639
Clients and myself?
121
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.959
And I just heard this kind of whisper Chiron c
122
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.240
hi Ron, And I was not very impressed, and I
123
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.759
ignored it at first, But I learned enough to know
124
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:37.439
that when there's something meant for you to have information,
125
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.079
it's going to keep coming up, and the sooner you
126
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.560
answer that call, the easier it's going to be, rather
127
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.920
than if you keep ignoring your intuition, ignoring the signpost,
128
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.000
they tend to get louder and more dramatic. So I
129
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:51.720
was like, Okay, I'm just going to start googling this
130
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:55.800
Chiron thing. And I learned that Chiron was in Greek
131
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.079
mythology a healer. And when you go to the doctor's
132
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.240
office in the UI and you see the staff of medicine,
133
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.560
the snakes wrapped around the staff, that's the staff of
134
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.680
Asclepias that Chiron gave to Asclepias. Chiron was his tutor.
135
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.920
So Chiron in mythology was the founding father of the
136
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.879
healing arts, a pharmacy, a botany, of medicine, of therapy.
137
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.759
Chyn is also in our solar system, orbiting between the
138
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:28.480
planets of Saturn and Uranus. And in astronomy, Chiron was
139
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.360
given that name to reference the mythological healer. It was
140
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.759
the first in its class to have an odd elliptical.
141
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:39.519
Orbit rather than a round orbit, and an third.
142
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.040
In astrology, Chiron is a placement in your birth chart.
143
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.199
Just like you might know your son sign is a
144
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.839
Leo or Sagittarius or Gemini, this Chiron placement is in
145
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.600
your birth chart, and it actually reveals an area of
146
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.560
vulnerability in your thought patterns, a thought pattern that we
147
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.120
perpetuate that doesn't necessarily serve us, and it's where we
148
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:09.360
tend to encounter emotional and psychological wounding, even sometimes financial issues,
149
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:10.759
relationship issues.
150
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.759
And that's when I started to really.
151
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:19.560
Research and integrate the chiron astrology into psychology and taking
152
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:24.279
personal responsibility. And I trademarked the word psychoastrology as a result.
153
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:26.839
Well, and that's wonderful. And you know what I find interesting.
154
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.959
Obviously I come from a scientific background, Yeah right, and
155
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.919
you do too, if you're a psychotherapist. All right. And
156
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.080
one of the first questions that came to my mind
157
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:38.600
is I was reviewing things for the podcast today, was
158
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.120
how on earth do they come up with these different
159
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.519
wounds that chiron astrology suggests based on your birth chart.
160
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.720
And as I researched it out, I found it fascinating
161
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.320
because you know, my first question as well as this scientific,
162
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.399
and it's like, well, no, there's no scientific. But at
163
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.559
the same time, as I was researching it out, I
164
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.039
discovered that there were a number of people early on
165
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.320
that started looking at this that had a number of
166
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:10.279
different clients or patients, and over a period of time
167
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:15.240
they started to identify some commonality and ultimately they were
168
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:19.960
able to pinpoint based on going back to the chiron chart,
169
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.639
they were able to pinpoint those particular moons or whatever
170
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.639
you want to call them, impress pattern whatever that happens
171
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:32.080
to be based on that. I found that so fascinating.
172
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:34.960
They say it's not scientific, but yet that's how science works.
173
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.799
As you do the research, you do the comparisons, you
174
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.320
find the commonality, and you come to the conclusions.
175
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.559
And doctor Doug, I want to share with you and
176
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.879
our audience that I really struggled with this astrology component.
177
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.840
When I started researching and knew I wanted to write
178
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.919
a book because I was I was struggling with the
179
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.440
issue are you telling me that when I was born
180
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.759
and the stars being in the sky means that I
181
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.480
am X, Y and Z. I'm a really big believer
182
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:06.759
in free will and taking personal responsibility. And finally in meditation,
183
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:10.000
it was this huge download. It was like, no, Lisa,
184
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:14.320
you wrote your chart. You chose these aspects and attributes
185
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.320
before you came into your physical incarnation that you wanted
186
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.519
to explore as a human being. And now that you're here,
187
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:24.279
you do have free will, and you do have the
188
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.399
ability to learn skills you might not have or know
189
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.759
today to change and shape your life.
190
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:31.879
So this isn't dictated to you.
191
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.720
It was written by you kind of how you thought
192
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:38.080
you wanted to explore this planet. And it's absolutely up
193
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.120
to all of us to take our twists and turns
194
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.600
and choose those experience.
195
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.360
How does that land with you?
196
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.159
Well? It does. And in fact, as I was researching,
197
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:53.360
I realized that even Carl Jung, who is a renowned psychotherapist,
198
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:57.720
used astrology and again the way he approached it, which
199
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.799
I really appreciated was not that he's going to predict
200
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.879
future events and so forth, but he used it in
201
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.080
order to discover that inner self and what was doing it.
202
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:13.279
I happened to do a behavioral analysis that comes up
203
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:17.440
with a similar concept of what's your greatest fear or
204
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:21.200
what's your greatest wound? And what I did, and you
205
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.879
love this is I did my own chart, all right.
206
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.879
I went in and researched it and found it, and
207
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.720
I found that it was so similar from what Chiron
208
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:36.480
said versus what my personal behavioral analysis said as far
209
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.759
as what is that wound. The other thing that I
210
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.759
really love and I want to get into this more
211
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.039
is Melanie Reinhardt, who I think was one of the
212
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.879
beginning people who really researched this out, made a comment,
213
00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:52.120
and I think it's important for the audience to understand
214
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.519
what this is really all about. She says. Hyron's placement
215
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.919
shows us where we are wounded, but also where we
216
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.559
have the potential to heal ourselves and to help others heal.
217
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.039
And so it's not just a matter of discovering that
218
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:13.440
personal imprint or those type of discoveries subconsciously, but also
219
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:17.200
by allowing us then to take that and as we
220
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.720
overcome it to be able to be a gift to others.
221
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.480
So I'd love for you to share how you've helped
222
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.279
people and maybe share some examples of people that have
223
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.200
experienced some things how you've used this to help people
224
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:37.960
not only overcome those beliefs, but also to really become Yes.
225
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.679
I love this question, and many people just like you,
226
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.039
Doctor Doug, that are in the healing arts, you've already
227
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.799
been about your self discovery and personal transformation that when
228
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.919
you learn about your chiron, it's more of a confirmation
229
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:54.840
that you're on your path.
230
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:56.159
You've been on your path.
231
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.879
This lines up with the other modalities that have resonated
232
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:03.279
with you, and it's really kind of like very affirming,
233
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.600
I think, and that's been the case for a lot
234
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.600
of my clients. I work with a lot of therapists
235
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:10.879
in fact in my practice, and it's really been clarifying
236
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.600
and affirming for them to know that they've been healing
237
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.360
this and wounding has been the word that we're using.
238
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.879
I'm going to also put out here wounding is on
239
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.399
a spectrum, so for some people it is deep wounding.
