Part 1: CUTV News Radio Spotlights Psychologist and Author Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler

Posted September 6, 201900:35:55

New York, NY - Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler is a clinical psychologist and a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, who has been practicing in lower Manhattan for more than 40 years.Dr. Kavaler-Adler is distinguished by her ability to innovate and experiment in a session with a client, as well as to listen very deeply to the many levels of communication.According to Dr. Kavaler-Adler, our interpretations of life come from the underlying psychic fantasies we carry with us. Uncovering your fantasy helps you have choices rather than compulsions.This willingness to explore what’s possible in human psychology extends to her writing as well. She specializes in “Object Relations,” a school of thought that explores how the nature of our need for connection in relationships, which developed early in life, continues to affect our inner experience in the present. The author of 70 articles and 6 books, Dr. Kavaler-Adler is the Founder and the Executive Director of the Object Relations Institute, a state chartered educational institute that trains psychotherapists and psychoanalysts.“One of my books, entitled "Mourning, Spirituality and Psychic Change: A New Object Relations View of Psychoanalysis,". discusses how, when people open up to grief, mourning and loss, they open up to all kinds of new possibilities. This 'developmental mourning' process awakens spirituality, creativity, and erotic passion. Developmental mourning helps those in the process of psychotherapy to find their true voice, as the formerly blocked or inhibited parts of the person emerge with the depth of feeling, loving, and intimate relating."For more information on Dr. Susan Kavaler-Adler, visit www.kavaleradler.com, and email drkavaleradler@gmail.com

Part 4: CUTV News Radio Welcomes Back Regenerative Medicine Pioneer Dr. Joy Kong

Posted August 23, 201900:30:06

Los Angeles, CA -- Dr. Kong is putting the finishing touches to her memoir, Tiger of Beijing, and you will notice many of the symbolic qualities of the tiger in this masterful woman. Dr. Kong is like the tiger because she follows what beats in her heart. At first that was the idea of being a healer and making a difference for humanity, more recently it has been to bring understanding and trust to the concept of stem cell therapy.Dr. Kong is the CEO of an organization known as Chara Biologics and also leads Thea Center for Regenerative Medicine. She wants people to realize that the future of medicine comes from our origins, stem cells.Dr Kong stresses that when she delivers treatment, it is the DNA and intelligence within the cells that signal the body to respond and repair itself. The most important stem cells in our body are Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs), and they have the capacity to travel through vasculature to the exact location of where they are needed. For someone suffering from COPD that would be the lungs, for someone with osteoarthritis the joint area, for one who suffered a traumatic brain injury, the brain. People are still slow to embrace this, but there is highly active research worldwide that proves cell science not only works, it can be applied safely and responsibly.Dr. Kong is going to tell us more about stem cell therapy, how regenerative medicine works overall, and share case histories and testimonials. She will arm listeners with the kind of knowledge that once only doctors were privy to. And she will relate her struggle to come to America, her medical education and experiences here, and all that can be found in her new memoir.For more information about Dr. Kong and her work visit https:///charabiologics.com

Part 1: CUTV News Radio Spotlights Dr. Frank Lawlis of The PNP Center

Posted May 22, 201900:30:03

Lewisville, TX – Dr. Frank Lawlis is a clinical and medical psychologist and co-founder of the PsychoNeuroPlasticity Center. The PNP Center’s primary mission is to providing objective diagnoses and treatment programs for individuals dealing with problems associated with neurological issues. Through a multifaceted diagnostic assessment, PNP Center can help find solutions to the variety of challenges in neurological and psychological development.“We want to find answers to problem behaviors, but most of all, we want to help people discover and utilize the tremendous talent and abilities they have for an abundant life,” says Dr. Lawlis.“We do a full assessment, putting everything together in terms of introducing new approaches to how to re-balance the mind and the body,” says Dr. Lawlis.Medical psychology explores how the body reacts to the brain and how the brain reacts to the body. Psycho-Neuroplasticity means we can change the brain patterns to correct destructive directions.Dr. Lawlis’s passion is using rhythms and sound frequencies to correct imbalances in the body and disrupt destructive brain patterns. To that end, Dr. Lawlis invented the bioacoustical utilization device, or BAUD.“My theory is that you can use these drumming sequences and sounds to basically interrupt the brain pattern, disrupting the connection and replacing it with a pattern of joy and happiness,” says Dr. Lawlis. “It's re-balancing the brain and restructuring some of the patterns of those neurological connections so that you don't go down that spiral of despair and you can experience true joy.”For more information on PsychoNeuroPlasticity Center, visit www.pnpcenter.com

He says, when you win a case or get someone asylum, you make a friend for life.In his CUTV Radio shows, Mr. DiRaimondo is going to teach us a lot about immigration - the facts, the laws, and the very valid reasons that an immigrant can quality for asylum. He is also going to dispel many myths about immigrants - such as the number of registered/unregistered persons living in the United States, the countries of origin most immigrants come from, work visas and the many vital industries immigrants keep humming. We’ll also learn what an I-601 A Waiver is, the number of green cards that are obtained or lost each year, and about what the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Judges do.
