Listen "Trea Drake: Building Awareness, Resilience, and the Warrior Mindset /Ep 4043"
Episode Synopsis
Trea has a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Education, with an emphasis in Behavior Analysis. He worked in the field of Behavior Analysis for 17.5 years before becoming a full-time Krav Maga instructor, fitness instructor, breathing coach, and mindfulness instructor. He developed Krav Maga Houston's Youth Program, and their invite-only Master Program, which is designed to develop young balanced warriors using the 24 VIA character strengths, an understanding of common cognitive distortions and logical fallacies, while promoting internal and external situational awareness, non-violent de-escalation techniques, anti-bully strategies, and the courage to be an upstander rather than a bystander. Trea began contemplative practice in the mid-1990s, with a primary focus on Vipassana and Metta. He is passionate about sharing the benefits he has received from mindfulness training and leading others to experience the same life-enhancing outcomes. Trea is a Certified Mindfulness Teacher through Mindful Schools, a certified Unified Mindfulness Trainer, MMTCP trainer, MindSize trainer, certified mPEAK coach and a HeartMath coach. Over the years, Trea began exploring the synergistic effect between meditation and breathing. This sent him on a journey exploring a variety of breathing approaches. He is a BREATHE Certified Coach with Dr. Belisa Vranich, and has received additional breathing certifications through Life Awareness Project, XPT Performance Breathing, Breathing for Warriors, and Jon Paul Crimi. He offers breathing exercises through a practical approach with the goal of teaching people how to breathe in a way that is optimal for each individual. Trea is an instructor with Intentional Communication by Cynthia Kane. His communication journey began with the realization that communication is the foundation upon which our relationships are built, including our relationship with ourselves. He is passionate about helping others transcend conditioned communication patterns that are no longer serving them and witnessing the development of newfound courage and sense of freedom that results from Intentional Communication. Trea believes it is by developing the physical body through martial arts, developing the mind through meditation and breathing practices, and developing right action through intentional communication that one becomes a thriving human being, poised to live up to one's unique human potential.
