Local Psychologist Offers Grief and Trauma Therapy


G Gary R. Beaver


ary R. Beaver, M.A., a licensed psychologist who provides Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) grief and


trauma therapy, has been appointed by Dr. Allan Botkin, the dis- coverer of IADC, to serve on the six-member International IADC Board. Beaver, based in Eagan, has also completed additional training with Botkin and is now a certified IADC trainer, one of five in the world. “This unique, cutting-edge therapy can very quickly and


effectively resolve grief and trauma resulting from the death of loved ones,” Beaver says. “With this therapy most people will have an experience which they nearly always interpret as being an authentic encounter with the deceased loved one and which is incredibly healing. Very few people know about IADC and they are fascinated when they learn of it.” People typically find that IADC can resolve long-term grief and trauma in one or two sessions, he adds. Beaver offers popular presentations every other month at the Aslan Institute, in Eagan, and has been interviewed on Edge Talk Radio and for The Edge.

Stress Management Workshop in Blaine


P Vicki Langemo


sychotherapist Vicki Langemo, of Coon Rapids, will offer a presentation entitled “How to Incor-


porate Stress Management Into Your Everyday Life.” It will be held at 10:30 a.m. on May 1, during the Senior Safety and Wellness Fair, at the Blaine Fire Station.


Langemo has specialized in coping skills such as stress and anger management for more than 20 years. “Most of us have experienced the feeling of stress building in our lives,” she says. “Our first clues


may be a tightening in our chest, a clenched jaw or difficult breathing. The less obvious and deeper effects may include trouble sleeping, poor indigestion, tight muscles and inability to think clearly.” If that unsettled feeling goes on too long, she explains, it turns into chronic stress, which is a major cause of health, work and relationship problems.


Learning to release and reduce stress is a life-empowering skill. In her presen- tation, Langemo will explain how to recognize stress and will teach participants the six main components of stress reduction. Participants will learn how to improve their sleeping, eating, exercise and social support habits. Langemo will also provide more than 25 examples of stress-relieving activities and techniques while encourag- ing participants to add a dose of fun into their lives. The workshop includes a catered lunch and refreshments.


Cost: $10. Location: 11920 Ulysses St., Blaine. To register, call Shelly Johnson at 763-786-9375. For more information on Vicki Langemo, visit CounselingForA BetterLife.com. See ad, page 9.
