In episode 203 I speak with author, speaker and podcaster, Phyllis Leavitt. After dealing with her own trauma as a child, she found a passion for and studied psychotherapy. As a psychotherapist, Phyllis has treated children, families, couples, and individual adults for 34 years, and has worked extensively with abuse and dysfunctional family dynamics, their aftermath, and some of the most important elements for healing. Her mission is now to to heal the nation of the USA. In this conversation we discuss the power each one of us has to heal ourselves and help others in their own healing. The ripple effect of this conversation can impact the world, so please pay attention about how you can be a healer.
Phyllis Leavitt has just written book called America in Therapy: A New Approach To Hope And Healing For A Nation In Crisis, in which she talks about the urgency to bring our whole country to therapy in a way never written about before. From years of experience as a client herself, and well over 30 years experience as a psychotherapist working extensively with individual and family dysfunction and abuse, she felt a deep calling to share all she has learned with the public and demonstrate how the principles of the best psychotherapy can be used to help heal a country of escalating hatred, divisiveness and violence.
Trust me, this is not just a conversation about America only, it for every person in every country in the world. She speaks to all who fear for children and all future generations, who may feel hopeless or resigned or simply don't know what to do to help create a more loving and sustainable world. She brings a message of both urgency and hope that each one of us can be a healer, in language the layman can easily relate to and understand, through personal stories, client case studies, and professional expertise.
Phyllis and I discuss many things that can help every person live a life of joy, meaning, and healing. Then through the choices we all make, how we can have a powerful and positive ripple effect on, not just healing a relationship, a family, a community, even a country, but the whole world. It is a big task, However, Phyllis and I, and hopefully you, are up for it. This is powerful conversation, not to be missed
