In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with Tammy Waldron, founder of Towanda Wellbeing and the RISE Intuitive Healing Arts Center. Tammy shares her powerful story of being adopted at five days old, the lifelong impact of her primal wound, and how energy healing opened the doorway to deep transformation as it touched places that traditional talk therapy could not.

Together, we explore:

• The hidden wounds of adoption and intergenerational trauma.
• Why traditional “mindset work” can’t fully resolve survival responses.
• The transformative potential of Theta Healing, Silent Counseling, and other spirit-led practices.
• How therapists and healers can prevent burnout by learning to regulate their own systems.
• The role of intuition as a precision clinical tool for therapists and practitioners.
• The power of presence, playfulness, and holding life’s challenges lightly.

Tammy also previews her upcoming presentation at the 2025 IFS Institute Conference on integrating Theta Healing with IFS, and she offers listeners a free gift to begin practicing nervous system regulation today.

In this episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I sit down with Dr. Nadine Macaluso (“Dr. Nae”)—therapist, author, and survivor—to explore the complex reality of trauma bonds and the pathways to healing. Drawing on her personal story and professional expertise in somatic psychotherapy, Dr. Nae reveals how trauma bonds erode identity, how spirituality and surrender open the door to freedom, and why holistic practices like vagal toning, meditation, and ritual support nervous system repair.

Together, we discuss:

• The hidden power dynamics and intermittent reinforcement at the heart of trauma bonds.
• How survivors can reconnect with their authentic selves through body-based and spiritual practices.
• The role of surrender, meaning-making, and community in the healing process.
• Practical tools—from vagus nerve toning to ritual practices—that support nervous system regulation.
• Why resilience cannot be built in isolation and the importance of safe, supportive community.

This conversation is a must-listen for therapists, healers, and anyone seeking holistic pathways out of relational trauma and toward liberation of the soul.

In this expansive and heartfelt episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I sit down with Joseph Drumheller, clinical hypnotherapist, spiritual teacher, and founder of JDH Academy. With over 30 years of experience and a rich personal journey through mystical awakening, Joseph invites us into the deeper terrain of healing where talk therapy meets quantum energy and soul-level transformation.

Together, we explore:

• How hypnotherapy can uncover and release subconscious emotional imprints
• The therapist’s role in holding space when clients experience unexpected shifts
• What it means to facilitate healing without “fixing”
• How unprocessed emotion creates repeating patterns—and how to move through them
• Joseph’s global silent meditation group and spontaneous experience with new energy transmission
• Nature as co-regulator, healer, and guide
• The four spiritual pillars that raise personal vibration: compassion, self-acceptance, forgiveness, and gratitude
• Navigating spiritual awakening without bypassing the pain that can come with it

This conversation is a deep affirmation for therapists, healers, and seekers who feel called to hold space for more than words—for energy, awakening, and the soulful unknown.

In this episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I’m joined once again by the wise and compassionate Ayla Ault for part two of our conversation on supporting neurodivergent clients—particularly those who are late-diagnosed and high-masking.

Together, we explore the healing potential of weaving clinical skill with intuitive, holistic presence. We talk about the deeply personal ways neurodivergent individuals experience the world, through unique communication styles, sensory sensitivities, and inner landscapes that are often overlooked or misunderstood.

We also explore how special interests and affirming communities—like Dungeons & Dragons, BDSM, and spiritual groups can become vital sources of safety, identity, and belonging.

This conversation is a heartfelt invitation to meet neurodivergent clients with attuned curiosity, softness, and deep respect so they can feel truly seen, honored, and supported on their healing journey.

In this soulful episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I’m joined by the wise and grounded Paula Scatoloni, a teacher of Somatics, Psychology, Spirituality, and Sound, with over two decades of experience integrating modern science and ancient wisdom into transformational healing practices. Together we dive into the beautiful intersection of body, sound, and spirit.

Paula shares her journey weaving somatic psychology, spirituality, and sound into a deeply integrative healing approach. We explore her work with Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and sound-based tools like the Safe and Sound Protocol—highlighting how frequency, resonance, and rhythm can help us connect with the deeper layers of the nervous system and the soul.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that healing isn’t just cognitive, it’s energetic, embodied, and relational. We talk about the importance of therapists doing their own inner work and how sound can be a bridge into greater regulation, coherence, and transformation.

Whether you're a therapist, a healer, or someone walking your own path of recovery, this episode invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and remember the wisdom your body already holds.

We’re kicking off Season 3 with an episode that’s as insightful as it is soul-stirring. I’m joined by Ayla Ault, a licensed clinical social worker and marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with neurodivergent clients — especially late-diagnosed ADHDers and Autists.

Ayla brings a powerful blend of clinical wisdom and intuitive insight, weaving together polyvagal theory, attachment-based practices, somatics, Reiki, and intuitive readings to support healing on every level.

Together, we explore how neurodivergent folks often carry a deep intuitive sensitivity — and why learning to ground that energy is essential for discerning intuition from anxiety.

This conversation is a rich dive into the ways holistic and spiritual practices can regulate, nourish, and empower neurodivergent nervous systems — and how we, as therapists and healers, can show up more consciously and creatively for our clients.

✨ Whether you're a practitioner or just wildly curious, this episode is full of gems you won't want to miss.
