Beschrijving

What happens when the pain people carry individually… begins shaping an entire society? In this deeply reflective episode of Born Without a Choice, Phyllis Leavitt shares powerful insights from her decades as a psychotherapist and author, exploring the connection between personal healing, emotional trauma, spiritual growth, and the growing division many people feel in the world today. Drawing from over 30 years of experience working with trauma, abuse, dysfunctional family dynamics, and emotional healing, Phyllis explains why unresolved pain doesn’t simply disappear — it often spreads into relationships, communities, and culture itself. This conversation explores childhood trauma, emotional healing, conflict, spiritual awakening, forgiveness, compassion, and how healing ourselves may also help heal the world around us. Through personal stories, therapeutic wisdom, and deeply human insight, Phyllis offers listeners both honesty and hope during a time when many people feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed by the state of the world. If you’ve ever wondered how personal healing connects to collective healing… this episode is for you. 📣 Contact Details 🌐 Website: PhyllisLeavitt.com 📘 Book: America in Therapy: A New Approach to Hope and Healing for a Nation in Crisis 🎤 Guest: Phyllis Leavitt — Psychotherapist, Author & Speaker ✨ Free Resources Available: • “The 6 Secrets for Repairing Relationships After Conflict” PDF • Conflict Type Quiz • Newsletter Signup & Book Resources
