About The Author
Bart W. Balint, MD
The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is now home to Bart W. Balint, MD, along with his wife, two tortoise shell cats, and one gray bobtail cat—each of whom sought him out as a companion in life. Born in 1959 in Ohio, raised in the steel town of Weirton, West Virginia, he went off to earn a BS in Chemistry at Bethany College followed by his medical degree from West Virginia University. Anesthesiology drew him in and he segued into running his private chronic pain management practice and training medical fellows at the University of Virginia. Renovating old farm houses, scuba diving, artistic welding, karate, tennis, singing, playing guitar, and other activities filled his scant spare time. His neck injury in 2003 catalyzed both his dive into his inner world and into writing his first book, a memoir.

What Client Says About
The first half of Dr. Bart W. Balint MD's new book is a portrayal of his direct experience of inherited family trauma, juxtaposed with his eventual success as a physician.
Along the way, he shares observations about the poverty of families working in the coal and coke plants, and later, describes some of the institutionalized trauma imposed via the medical field, both as a practitioner, and later as a patient.
But the real story is in the second half, where he shares his on-going quest to recover his humanity, humility, joy, and essential self.
In sharing the content of his dreams and dream inquiry, the reader is transported from the left brained dominance of the West/Global North to the intuitive realms of the South, demonstrating what is possible when we allow ourselves to connect head and heart, literally, via the neck.
He is clearly a seeker, exploring multiple modalities, and developing practices and disciplines, along with his wife, to lead a more conscious life, made possible by peeling back layer after layer of conditioned response.
SPOILER ALERT: The fact that he devoted himself to completing the book while juggling demanding health treatments only adds to the power of his precious and timely message.
An honest and touching account of a journey from the prison of emotional pain to the freedom and joy that comes from meeting the trauma of being human. It is a journey we can all make if we are willing.
Grateful for Dr. Balint's uniquely bold account of the reclamation of innate joy that speaks to all who choose to overcome and steer their brains onto a hopeful, beautiful boulevard.
