Somewhere Between Madison And Davenport
David Shulimson
TOPIC CATEGORY: Self Improvement
Somehow, I keep moving forward.
I was diagnosed with depression more than a decade ago and my condition has worsened through the years. Despite increased and stronger dosages of anti-depressants, I began having suicidal thoughts. MORE >
I had experienced a job loss, followed by bankruptcy and foreclosure. I then went through about a year of what's called "sheltered" homelessness. I began making progress until my world seemingly fell apart again, largely of my own doing. If I were to rank all of my calamities in order of severity, being homeless (again) wouldn't have even made the top three.Suicide moved from my "radar" to my "itinerary." I drove westward(ish) from where I was living at the time. Somewhere between Madison, Wisconsin, and Davenport, Iowa, I made the decision to remove suicide from my itinerary.
I wish I could conclude my introduction with "And I've lived happily ever after." However, "stuff" continued to happen in my life. And "stuff" will always happen in my life. But I'm learning how to process and respond to "stuff."
My topic is about my journey leading up to my decision to end my life, my decision not to end my life, and my decision to live my life. My life is far from perfect, but I've learned and I continue to learn how to move forward. I wish to share my story with those who may need to learn or re-learn how to move forward.

Dr. Benjamin Benulis is the author of the book "Create Health: Reverse Autoimmune Disease Without Drugs or Their Side Effects" and has helped several people reverse Multiple Sclerosis with diet and lifestyle.

Healing from Trauma
Dr. Benjamin Benulis, Doctor of Chiropractic, Create Health PLLC
TOPIC CATEGORY: Health & Fitness
When we experience a very shocking or stressful event in our lives that is too much for our nervous system to handle at the time, the mind and body often store this away to be dealt with in the future. This is commonly known as trauma. For many people, it lingers long after the initiating event. Often times, experiences in life force us to re-experience this trauma from time to time. Treatment of this phenomenon is an emerging field. Traditional talk therapy can often address trauma at the level of the brain and the thinking mind. But for many people with trauma stored in their physical body, talking about it can sometimes make it worse. So how do we address trauma stored in the body? In this 30-45 minute presentation Dr. Ben shares his knowledge on this topic, along with real-world practical tips and tools that audience members can begin implementing immediately to see a shift.
