It took me forever to get a college degree. Really. It was nearly 30 years and over 330 miles apart — from September of 1970 when I enrolled as a drama major at Hartnell in Salinas until March of 2000 before I got an AS degree from a community college in Riverside. The fact that for the most part we all have phases in our lives, birth to adolescence to teen to pre-marriage/relationship to marriage/relationship to etc., etc.; and during those 30 years I changed majors four times and because academic requirements changes over the years with new discovery in all fields of education I could fulfill required core subjects with classes repeated from a decade before, and so I sat through many hours of varying sociology and philosophy classes; ergo Mr. Kant in today’s column.

What's funny in Santa Cruz? Pretty much everything when it comes to the comedians who gather here for the 11th annual Santa Cruz Comedy Festival October 1-5. The Festival draws comics from around the country to entertain us at 17 different venues, many of them free. DNA, local comedian and comedy promoter, is the energy behind this festival, and he joined host Suki Wessling for a wide-ranging conversation about Santa Cruz, comedy, and why we need to laugh. Take a listen!

Community members interested in following the construction of the Dennis & Janice Caprara Community Center project in Gonzales can now do so with the help of a live EarthCam installed at the site by Otto Construction.

Treating dissociation with dreamwork. Today, meet psychotherapist Marilyn Manzi who treats women with acute stress disorder using what she calls dream psychotherapy. We start by defining acute stress disorder Then talk about the timeline by which trauma develops into PTSD and how dream psychotherapy can prevent and even reverse the long-term after effects of trauma. She describes her work which begins with co-regulation between therapist and client. She uses techniques such as rescripting of difficult dreams, looking for transcendent dream moments, and incubating solutions to waking life issues. We answer an email question from Rissa about individuation.
After the break we get more personal, and Marilyn talks about her self-care routine as a psychotherapist. We then take a call from Jenny from Santa Cruz who shares a dream about women on a boat which we look at as an example of a dream about individuation,
At the end of the show, Marilyn turns the tables and asks about my history of learning to be a dream coach and about the book I am currently writing around dreamwork as a kind of treasure hunt.
BIO: Marilyn D. Manzi specializes in treating Acute Stress Disorder using Dream Psychotherapy©.

One time a long time ago I asked my mom for a quarter. She said she was sorry, but she didn’t have any money that day. I can’t remember why I needed a quarter, but I bet it was for candy. I always wanted candy and my mom loved me so much that I made a whole school of dentists rich with my teeth needing constant attention.
