What if the chaos we see in the world is simply the unhealed wounds of childhood — scaled up?

In this soul-stirring episode of the Adult-Children in Recovery Podcast, Vandana Atara Noorah welcomes back Phyllis Leavitt — author of America in Therapy, speaker, and psychotherapist — for a conversation that moves from the deeply personal to the profoundly global.

Phyllis reveals:

• How writing saved her during a chaotic, dysfunctional childhood — and how it became her path to healing
• Why she believes we are at a precarious moment in human history that demands big ideas and bigger solutions
• The little-known psychological secrets behind how we arrived at this cultural precipice — and what keeps us here
• Why the same therapeutic tools that heal individuals and families can heal communities, corporations, governments, and nations
• How universal loving kindness and compassion in community — free from shame and self-blame — is not naïve idealism but practical healing strategy

Vandana also shares how her Inner Child Reiki Practitioner Program supports adult-children in doing this exact work — building safety from the inside out.

This is an episode about HOPE — real, grounded, hard-won hope.
