Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Dr. Paige Roberts Lcsw Phd Cphp Clt. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Dr. Paige , thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
When we talk about resilience it is the concept of having had gone through hard experiences of which never held someone back from healing, evolving, growing and succeeding. My personal resilience has come from my personal past traumatic experiences, hardships and healing to evolve into the person I am today. My past traumatic experiences included being a child of a narcissistic alcoholic, having to deal with being diagnosed with ehlers danlos syndrome, learning differences of being neurodiverse with respects to attention deficit disorder and dyslexia, having had numerous concussions, losing friends to suicide and war, battling an alcohol addiction from the ages of 19-22, from surviving a physically abusive relationship and then the loss of my father to cancer. Through each of these experiences I took accountability for what actions or non actions created these environments within me and found a way to overcome them by learning the best ways possible to heal from them and or make the necessary adjustments to work with them to restore my ability to succeed and heal. Through my success, healing and growth I learned all I could about the methods available to help others work through their limitations to find a way to heal and succeed within their lives. I truly believe had I not had any of the hardships within my life I would have never had the pain necessary for me to find my purpose to serve others for the betterment of our society.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I got into the sports and health psychology and trauma healing space through having to find a way to over come my own dysregulated nervous system causing my personal mental, physical and spiritual health decline. Within my personal healing and official educational pursuits I was lead down the path of studying brain and nervous system optimization. My first methods I studied were around exercise, nutrition and supplementation. When these were not enough to regain my full health I ventured into the psychology world around altered conciousness state trauma reprocessing and desensitizing modalities such as hypnotherapy, Eye Movement Desenstization Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Somatic Experiencing, Breath Work and Brainspotting. Then again once I hit a wall with these modalities I went into the study of quantum physics around frequency medicine such as sound healing, light therapies of red, near infra red, far infrared and green light, audio visual entrainment, cranial electro stimulation and pulsed electromagnetic frequencies. Once I started seeing the mental, physical and spiritual health benefits of these techniques it challenged me to gain a greater understanding of the how and why by implementing the WAVI QEEG brain scan measurement tool to quantify how all the combined interventions optimized the brain and nervous system. Through the pre and post intervention scans I was able to not only get the client feedback of feeling better and performing better I could actually show them how they had enhanced reaction time and communication between the regions of the brain, restored overall energy and voltage within the brain and how they were now able to stay within the flow or alpha brain wave-nervous system state no matter what challenges life could impose on them. Through my healing over the last 20 years and the intensive study within my educational pursuits and the client results within my practice over the past 12 years I was able to create my own technique called Alpha Imprinting which incorporates all of the effective methods. I now get the opportunity to train other health care providers in Alpha Imprinting so they can help their clients heal, restore and optimize their brain-nervous system performance. I feel my techniques are what make me unique within the health space as they are based on frequency concepts the late greats like Nicola Tesla and Albert Einstein began developing decades ago.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
I believe the three primary aspects of my journey of regaining and optimizing my health and achieving business success has been through my own suffering, the educational pursuits and then most importantly learning from my clients. When you become a true subject matter expert (SME) it is said it takes 10k hours of practice which I can confidently say I’ve surpassed this bench mark. But what most do not understand is yes personal experience is valuable and education is necessary, but the real hours of practice comes from working with the clients-patients or your target population. It is true you can draw understanding from your personal experience and absolutely educational theories inform your practice, but your true teachers are those you are applying the methods towards. I feel when you are just starting out you are either moved by how something positively impacted you and or are excited about the theories, studies, research and concepts. But I will say you must be open to the idea that you know nothing until you are sitting with someone whom comes with all of their unique parts, experiences and challenges suffering in front of. Within any discipline the person sitting across from you is a puzzle which must be figured out with the tools you have to restore the beautiful imperfectly perfect picture they are.
Is there a particular challenge you are currently facing?
At this point within our society we are as a whole struggling mentally, physically and spiritually. What I mean by this is we are a society driven by needing to obtain financial success over our mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. Which is backwards as you will never be able to sustain our production and financial stability without mind-body-spirit health. Generally within our society we only reach out for mental or physical health help once we have already developed mental or physical symptoms associated with a disease or illness. Instead we must be focusing on preventative measures starting at a young age so we do not develop the uncomfortable and even life threatening symptoms associated with these diseases and illnesses. Personally I am focused on educating the public on health and wellness modalities I am using and teaching to others. As well as I am persistently attending any event to connect with like minded individuals so we can work together to achieve the much needed preventative health paradigm shift. At one point when I started my practice my first mentor Charles Zimmerman told me you cannot make the changes you seek alone. And then he gave the analogy of you cannot push a boulder up a mountain by yourself. You must connect with others whom are trying to push that boulder up the mountain alone so you can help each other push the boulder up the mountain together. Through public education, advocacy and changes in policies I do see our culture can shift into prioritizing health first then production and financial success will organically follow.
