Trauma Expert, Psychiatrist Richard P. Brown, Talks About Dissolving Psychic Pain on August 1

NEW YORK, NY, July 31, 2012 (Press-News.org) Richard P. Brown, MD, a New York psychiatrist who practices integrative medicine, is the guest of Les Fehmi, PhD, and Susan Shor Fehmi, LCSW for an Open Focus Attention Teleseminar entitled "A Safe Harbor" from 1 to 2 p.m. EST, August 1, 2012. Dr. Brown will discuss how trauma and negative experiences can affect the brain and the stress response systems in the body.

Dr. Brown will discuss his experiences, his research, and the practice of Open Focus as they relate to integrative approaches for mental and physical wellness. "Anything worth doing is worth doing effortlessly," comments Dr. Brown.

Les Fehmi, one of the fathers of biofeedback and a Zen teacher, developed Open Focus , a meditative practice that induces EEG patterns similar to those found in advanced, long-term meditators. Deeper, richer meditative states can help relieve physical and psychic pain.

Registration for the teleseminar is at dissolvingpain.com/workshops/ where it is listed in the upper right hand corner. The cost is $19.95.

He gives over 200 medical lectures every year, including full-day courses for the American Psychiatric Association and other professional groups. He is a certified teacher of Aikido (4th Dan), Yoga, Qi Gong, and meditation.

The doctors have co-authored 40 professional publications on complementary and alternative treatments including scientific papers, books, and book chapters.
