Chat, are we cooked? Julia is joined by friend and mentor Dr. Jack Keefe to explore the ongoing epidemic of AI psychosis and the dire consequences of having a sycophant in our pocket. They trace the history of how technology has repeatedly reshaped our understanding of reality, from medieval nobles who believed their bodies were made of glass, telegraph operators struck by sudden paralysis, and tech moguls convinced they're living in The Matrix. Digressions include questioning the humanity of Mr. Beast, the stay tethered to reality challenge, and The Truman Show as a psychotic touchstone.

Many high achievers appear successful on the outside while quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, and chronic stress. In this episode, we sit down with resilience coach and integrative psychotherapist Sofia Souiri to explore how unresolved stress, limiting beliefs, and nervous system dysregulation can impact both mental and physical health.Sofia shares her personal journey from investment banking to psychotherapy after experiencing anxiety, amenorrhea, gut issues, anemia, and burnout. Together, they discuss the connection between trauma, the nervous system, women's health, and the importance of combining evidence-based healthcare with mind-body practices. The conversation explores how healing often requires addressing both the physical body and the subconscious patterns that keep us stuck, offering practical insights for anyone ready to move from survival mode toward resilience and coherence.Key Takeaways:High achievement doesn't protect you from burnout—it can sometimes contribute to it.Chronic stress and unresolved trauma can affect hormones, digestion, immunity, and overall health.Sustainable healing requires addressing both the body and the subconscious mind.Learning to regulate the nervous system is essential for long-term resilience.True success comes from alignment with your values, not constant achievement.Where to find Sofia Souiri:Website: https://sofiasouiri.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sofia_souiriLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sofia-souiri-1a211939/ Sofis Souiri's Bio:Sofia Souiri is an award-winning mindset and transformation coach, bestselling author, and integrative psychotherapist with a background in finance, including experience at global banks.

Kenneth R. Lakritz, Ph.D., author of Remembering Self: Seasons of the Soul Rediscovered Through Mystical Experience and Depth Psychology is a licensed clinical psychologist with four decades of experience. Dr. Lakritz's career has taken a winding path from clinical neuropsychology through his current dedication to long-term depth psychotherapy with an alchemical, Jungian orientation. He has devoted his clinical and academic life to adult developmental challenges, both with mid- and late-life populations, and has spent many years writing on the subjects of eldering, inter-generational dialogue, and late-life development. A unique exploration of the human psyche and the journey toward psychospiritual unity, Remembering Self covers the mind-body-spirit realm as well as personal development, psychology, spirituality, midlife, eldering, and death, uniquely weaving together the mystery of mystical spirituality, the depth of Jungian Psychoanalysis, and the complexity of attachment theory. Broken into sections that follow the “four seasons of life” through which the soul evolves, this book details the tasks, responsibilities, and development necessary to integrate and move through each stage. Each season represents both a universal, transcendent perspective and an immanent, personal reflection through the voice of Shemah, a character recounting his life as he nears death under the guidance of Cornelius, a wise figure representing the essence of Self. Although Shemah is a fictional character, his story is an amalgam of Lakritz's clinical patients over decades of practice. In whatever season of re-membering readers find themselves, this book will help light their way toward a fuller awareness and expression of the Self.

In this presentation, Dr Nazila Isgandarova explores the bio-psycho-social-spiritual (BPSS) model of Islamic spiritual care, tracing its roots to Ibn Sina's (Avicenna's) biopsychosocial framework and older traditions of "medicine of the heart." She examines how integrating Islamic theology with contemporary psychology and social science can strengthen the effectiveness of this model in addressing mental health and spiritual distress among Muslim clients in hospitals, schools, and correctional institutions.

In this presentation, Professor G. Hussein Rassool explores how Islamic spiritual practices—such as dhikr, murāqabah, duʿāʾ, and tawakkul—can be integrated into established therapeutic modalities including CBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed approaches. He also examines the ethical dilemmas this integration raises, from role confusion between therapist and religious authority to the risks of misinterpreting sacred texts or reinforcing guilt and shame.

Carla Calderas is a speaker, Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and author of Healing Is Within You. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field and as the founder of Calderas Counseling, she brings both personal and professional insight to her work.Carla is known for speaking about healing in a way that feels clear, grounded, and deeply relatable. Drawing from her personal and professional experience, she shares how pain can become a turning point—something that not only shapes you, but expands your purpose and how you show up for yourself. Her message centers on a powerful shift: healing is not about becoming someone new, but about remembering who you are and allowing that version of you to lead.Her book, Healing Is Within You, reflects this approach by blending her personal experiences with her clinical background. In it, she guides readers to look at the past with honesty, use practical tools to stay present, and begin building a future they want and deserve.

With a growing mental health crisis and a system bogged down by waitlists and rigid silos, a powerful paradigm shift is happening across Canada: the rise of nurse-led psychotherapy. In this educational episode, we sit down with Sheena Howard (BScN, MA, RYT, RN), award-winning Nurse Psychotherapist and the founder of Acceptance Psychotherapy. We dive deep into why Registered Nurses are uniquely positioned to transform mental healthcare. Grounded in a holistic nursing blueprint, nurse psychotherapists don't just treat symptoms in isolation; they integrate biological, psychological, and social factors—bridging the gap between the physical nervous system, medication management, and emotional trauma. However, paving this independent path comes with major friction. Sheena pulls back the curtain on the institutional gatekeeping, regulatory ambiguities, and insurance barriers that independent nurse providers face daily. More importantly, she shares evidence-backed strategies on how to overcome these hurdles: by shifting focus from restrictive corporate insurance policies to strict provincial legislation, building multi-disciplinary alliances, and creating inclusive, trauma-informed clinical spaces. This conversation is a masterclass in healthcare advocacy and systemic disruption for any clinician ready to expand their scope and build a practice on their own terms.

A journey into the power of conscious breathing for therapy and everyday life. Breathing is at the center of our lives, yet we are only beginning to tap into its full potential as a tool for healing. Conscious breathing is a powerful mechanism for transforming our physiological, emotional, and brain states, and is the fastest way to cultivate integrated presence. However, its full capacity for facilitating healing, personal development, stronger relationships, self-actualization, and personal and collective love is vastly unrecognized and underutilized. In Breathwork and Psychotherapy: Clinical Applications for Healing and Transformation (W. W. Norton, 2025), breathwork expert Jessica Dibb offers compelling reasons to integrate the power of breathwork with psychotherapy and other healing and wellness practices. Here readers will find inspiration for daily breathwork practice as well as the methods, case examples, and actionable advice needed to incorporate breathwork into therapeutic sessions. Seamlessly marrying ancient wisdom with contemporary science, this insightful guide is for clinicians, breathwork practitioners, and anyone interested in exploring the transformative power of breath.

In this episode, Dr. David Puder and the Tuesday 2025–2026 Psychotherapy Cohort explore mature and neurotic defense mechanisms through the lens of Nancy McWilliams' influential framework. Building upon the previous discussion on primitive defenses, they provide an in-depth look at how higher-level defenses such as regression, repression, compartmentalization, isolation of affect, intellectualization, rationalization, moralization, undoing, displacement, reaction formation, and sublimation operate in both everyday life and clinical practice. Filled with rich clinical examples drawn from outpatient psychiatry, emergency settings, trauma work, grief, OCD, and private practice, the cohort discusses the adaptive value as well as the potential costs of these defenses, offering practical insights for recognizing and working with them effectively in psychotherapy.   By listening to this episode, you can earn 2.0 Psychiatry CME Credits.

— Today, it is a JOY to have Dr. Elaine Aron, a distinguished author and psychologist known worldwide for her groundbreaking work on highly sensitive individuals. Dr. Aron is here to discuss her latest book, "Spirituality Through a Highly Sensitive Lens: An Objective Look at Meditation Methods and Enlightenment. "In this insightful guide, Dr. Aron provides readers with practical pathways to find peace and equanimity amidst life's chaos. Reflecting on the seeker culture of the 1960s, which sparked a quiet spiritual revolution, she explores how people have achieved profound inner calm in challenging times. Her book is the first to offer an objective overview of meditation methods and enlightenment, incorporating her personal experiences from 55 years of practice and recent brain research insights. With her signature empathy and a keen scientific perspective, Dr. Aron helps both highly sensitive individuals and the broader audience to discover the spirituality that best suits them. This episode promises to open doors to new spiritual paths, encouraging everyone to embark on their unique journey of self-discovery and transformation. Valeria interviews Dr. Elaine Aron  — She is the author of  "Spirituality Through a Highly Sensitive Lens: An Objective Look at Meditation Methods and Enlightenment." She is a clinical and research psychologist, the internationally bestselling author of The Highly Sensitive Person, in print for nearly thirty years and translated into 35 languages. In her latest book, Spirituality Through a Highly Sensitive Lens, Dr. Aron aims to helps readers better understand the various types of meditation—mindfulness, TM, Zen, and all the rest--so that they can choose for themselves. She also delves into the solid research that exists regarding enlightenment.  She does not know of any other book that does either of these!  This one does both, She is also the author of The Highly Sensitive Parent, The Highly Sensitive Person Workbook, The Highly Sensitive Person in Love, The Highly Sensitive Child, and Psychotherapy and the Highly Sensitive Person. Credited with first recognizing high sensitivity as an innate trait and pioneering the study of HSPs since 1990, she maintains a website and newsletter at HSPerson.com. Dr. Aron obtained her doctorate in clinical psychology from Pacific Graduate Institute and trained at the Jung Institute in San Francisco. She is widely published in academic journals on research regarding both sensory processing sensitivity and, along with her husband, Arthur Aron, the scientific study of close relationships.
