Psy'd Kick Life Coaching

 Trauma, be it physical, mental, or emotional, leaves an individual scared. Often deeply. These wounds, if left untreated, can inhibit an individual's ability to function at his/her most optimal level. Yet the majority of individuals either struggle to overcome their traumas or fail to do so at all. Such is the inspiration behind Tactical Recovery. Drawn from his 35 years as a martial artist and instructor, 18 years working in mental health, his own struggle to overcome the damage done by a near crippling automobile accident and the survivor's remorse of a tragic loss, and his nearly two decades of supporting behavioral change, the two books contained within this volume, Concerning the COMBATIVE ARTS and SCIENCES, and The Path of the Painted Warrior, provide a roadmap to healing through the fighting and healing arts. Concerning the COMBATIVE ARTS and SCIENCES, is part memoir and part dissertation, details the science and philosophy behind the process Payne applies, both with the students in his dojo and and the clients whom he treats. The Path of the Painted Warrior draws direct parallels between the the ancient fighting and healing arts and the process of overcoming trauma. Together, they contain a body of knowledge previously taught but never before compiled.
