Descripción

In this episode of Psychology & the Soul™, we explore narcissism beyond the buzzword — moving past labels and into a deeper understanding of patterns, behavior, and lived experience. Narcissism is often talked about… but rarely understood. It’s not just about labeling someone. It’s about recognizing what’s happening within relationships — and within yourself. Hosted by Kellee White, LMFT, and Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri, PhD, this episode brings together psychology and awareness to unpack how narcissistic patterns impact emotional safety, perception, and identity. ✨ In This Episode, We Discuss: What narcissism is — and what it isn’t * The difference between traits and personality disorder * Emotional manipulation, projection, and lack of accountability * Gaslighting and how it affects your sense of reality * Why confusion is often the first sign something is off * How to recognize when you’re losing connection to yourself * The role of boundaries in self-protection * What boundaries actually look like in real life * Why over-explaining doesn’t create change * How to come back to your own clarity and truth This is not about diagnosing others. It’s about awareness. Because when you understand the pattern… you can stop questioning yourself. If you’ve ever felt: * Confused in conversations * Like everything becomes your fault * Emotionally exhausted or on edge * Like you’re constantly explaining yourself This episode will help you reconnect to your own reality. #spiritualhealing #healing

episode The Body Keeps the Story - Trauma, Memory & The Nervous System’s Silent Language artwork

The Body Keeps the Story - Trauma, Memory & The Nervous System’s Silent Language

Why are so many people anxious, emotionally exhausted, chronically overwhelmed, numb, reactive, disconnected, and physically unwell… while being told they simply need to “cope better”? What if the problem is bigger than individual weakness? What if human nervous systems were never designed for the level of emotional pressure, overstimulation, disconnection, suppression, and performance modern life now demands? In this emotionally charged and thought-provoking episode of Psychology & the Soul™, Kellee White, LMFT, and Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri, PhD, expose the deeper psychological and physiological realities of trauma, chronic stress, emotional suppression, and nervous system overload. Because trauma is not just remembered emotionally. It is lived physically. And many people are carrying pain in their bodies they were never given safety, language, or space to process. ________________________________________ In This Episode, We Explore: • Trauma stored in the body and nervous system • Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses • Anxiety, panic attacks, and emotional shutdown • Emotional suppression and physical illness • Childhood trauma and adult relationship patterns • Why emotionally sensitive children are struggling • The connection between modern life and nervous system dysregulation • Somatic healing, breathwork, and body-based healing practices • Why healing goes beyond simply “talking about it” • The emotional cost of constantly performing strength This episode is not about weakness. It’s about what the body has been forced to carry in silence. Because sometimes the body speaks… when the mind no longer can.

episode Who Am I Now? The Psychology of Reinvention & Soul Evolution artwork

Who Am I Now? The Psychology of Reinvention & Soul Evolution

There comes a moment in many people’s lives when the old version of themselves no longer fits. The career. The relationship. The identity. The role they spent years building. And beneath the surface, a deeper question begins to emerge: Who am I now? In this episode of Psychology & the Soul™, Kellee White, LMFT, and Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri, PhD, explore the psychology of reinvention, identity shifts, existential awakening, and soul evolution. This conversation dives into what happens when people begin outgrowing the life they once worked so hard to create — and why losing who you were may actually be the beginning of becoming who you’re meant to be. ________________________________________ In This Episode, We Explore: • Midlife awakenings and “identity death”  • Existential crises and spiritual rebirth  • Career burnout and the search for meaning  • Ego-driven success vs. soul fulfillment  • Reinvention after grief, divorce, trauma, or illness  • Why people feel disconnected despite “having it all”  • Social media personas vs. authentic identity  • Fear of change and fear of becoming visible  • Spiritual awakenings that disrupt relationships and careers  • The psychology behind purpose and fulfillment  ________________________________________ This episode is not about becoming someone else. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you who to be. Because sometimes the breakdown… is actually the beginning of becoming whole. #transformations #spiritualgrowth

episode Healing Across Generations artwork

Healing Across Generations

Is this really yours… or is it inherited?  Because some of what you’re carrying… isn’t just personal — it’s generational. Patterns like: • Financial struggle that repeats • Weight and body cycles that won’t shift • Infertility with no clear explanation • Mental health struggles — even suicidal thoughts • Relationship patterns that feel impossible to break In this episode of Psychology & the Soul, we explore Healing Across Generations — where psychology meets ancestral healing. Join Kellee White and Dr. Shirley with special guest Karie Gonia, as they dive into Family Constellation Therapy and how group healing reveals what’s been unconsciously passed down through your family system. We talk about: • Intergenerational trauma & epigenetics • Inherited emotional patterns • Family roles you didn’t choose • Why these cycles feel so hard to break • How awareness can shift an entire lineage This isn’t just your story. It’s a system you were born into. ✨ And once you see it… everything starts to change. What in your life feels bigger than you? #IntergenerationalTrauma [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/intergenerationaltrauma] #FamilyConstellationTherapy [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/familyconstellationtherapy] #BreakTheCycle [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/breakthecycle] #PsychologyAndTheSoul [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/psychologyandthesoul] #KarieGonia [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/kariegonia] #AncestralHealing [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/ancestralhealing] #MentalHealthAwareness [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/mentalhealthawareness] #GenerationalHealing [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/generationalhealing]

Intuition vs. Hypervigilance | Is It a Gut Feeling… or Trauma Response?

How do you know if it’s intuition — or fear? In this episode of Psychology & the Soul, Kellee White and Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri explore the critical difference between spiritual insight and trauma-driven hypervigilance. Many people describe having “gut feelings,” but trauma, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation can sometimes mimic intuition. This conversation bridges psychology and spirituality to help listeners develop deeper discernment, emotional awareness, and nervous system clarity. We explore: • What intuition actually feels like • The psychology of hypervigilance • Trauma responses vs. inner knowing • Fear-based pattern recognition • Somatic awareness & nervous system regulation • How the body signals safety and threat • Why healing improves discernment This episode is grounded, thoughtful, and deeply relevant for anyone navigating anxiety, spirituality, emotional sensitivity, or trauma healing. Psychology informs the response. Spirituality expands awareness. Integration creates clarity. #Intuition [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/intuition] #Hypervigilance [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/hypervigilance] #TraumaHealing [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/traumahealing] #PsychologyAndTheSoul [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/psychologyandthesoul] #NervousSystemHealing [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nervoussystemhealing] #MentalHealthAwareness [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/mentalhealthawareness] #SpiritualAwakening [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/spiritualawakening]
