  • Client-Centered Therapy by Carl Rogers: Why Being Seen Heals | Ep. 56
    In this deeply reflective episode, we explore the timeless wisdom of Carl Rogers, the father of client-centered therapy. What makes his approach so revolutionary is its simplicity: authentic presence, unconditional positive regard, and deep empathy. But behind this simplicity lies a profound healing power.We talk about our personal experiences as both therapist and client with this style, how it enables emotional processing, self-acceptance, and transformation, and why Rogers’ view on authenticity might be one of the most important contributions to modern psychology. We also discuss the impact of childhood conditioning, how repressed emotions shape our lives, and how genuine human connection can be more healing than any advice.Whether you’re studying psychology, exploring your own healing path, or just curious about how to show up more authentically in your relationships—this one is for you.

  • PSIP Deep Dive 2: Unlocking Trauma Through the Nervous System | Ep. 55
    In this follow-up episode on Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP), we explore how trauma gets stored in the nervous system—and what it takes to release it.

We also discuss the challenges of breaking through protective blocks, the potential of democratizing trauma healing tools, and the vital importance of embodiment, awareness, and relationship in therapy.If you’re curious about how deep trauma work actually functions—or if you’ve ever wondered why some therapeutic methods fall short—this episode is packed with insights.
