Today’s conversation with former Clinton/Gore speechwriter Tom Rosshirt left me speechless. In his book Chasing Peace, Tom reveals how crippling anxiety and 'complicated grief' nearly destroyed him—until neuroplasticity and spirituality rewired his brain. We explore fear as the root of physical illness, dissolving self-image traps, and why embracing ALL feelings is the essence of true peace. If you’ve ever felt stuck in perfectionism, avoidance, or unexplained symptoms, this episode is your roadmap to freedom. Plus: My course for therapists on spiritually informed therapy opens soon! Join us as we bridge science and soul.

Exploring the emerging field of grief therapy with Dr. Tom Nehmy, a clinical psychologist specializing in Induced After Death Communication (IADC). We dive into how IADC uses EMDR techniques to help clients process sadness and facilitate after death communications, offering new pathways for healing. Tom shares his personal journey, the clinical research supporting IADC, and what differentiates genuine after death communications from imagination. We also touch on the role of intuition in therapy, the impact of spiritual experiences on grief recovery, and the growing need for spiritually-informed clinical practices. Head to the podcast page for episode notes, Dr. Nehmy’s resources, and further reading on IADC.

This week’s conversation with filmmaker Stephen Berkley left me in awe. His documentary Life with Ghosts reveals how his mother’s crippling grief transformed when she began communicating with spirits. We explore automatic writing, induced after-death communication therapy (IADC), and why therapists MUST listen to clients’ spiritual experiences. As a psychologist and medium, I’m passionate about bridging science and spirituality—especially for those drowning in loss. If you’ve ever felt a loved one’s presence or questioned the afterlife, this episode is your validation. Plus: I’m launching a course for clinicians on spiritually informed therapy! Join me as we tear down the walls between grief and grace.
