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.

Welcome back to The Spiritually Curious Therapist! In today’s deeply enriching episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague, Elizabeth “Liz” Hides, as we dive into the heart of Psychotherapeutic Reiki—what it is, how it's evolving, and why it's transforming psychotherapy practices across the field.

Liz and I have been on a shared journey for the past several years, integrating Reiki with clinical psychotherapy and co-creating training experiences for therapists looking to ethically and confidently bring energy healing into their work. In this episode, we reflect on:

• 🌿 How we moved beyond the Reiki table and into an embodied, integrative therapeutic presence
• 🌀 The powerful impact of using Reiki to support clients navigating grief, loss, trauma, and emotional healing
• 💡 Why embodied presence and personal energetic practices are foundational to this work
• 🧭 How to ethically and practically bring Reiki into your therapy room—yes, even if you’ve struggled with the "how" before
• 🛠️ What distinguishes Reiki-assisted psychotherapy from community Reiki, and how we help clinicians stay aligned with their boards
• 🔍 Why the Psychotherapeutic Reiki Foundations Course is the course we wish we had when we were starting out

We also break down the differences between Reiki-assisted psychotherapy (our umbrella term) and Psychotherapeutic Reiki (based on Dr. Richard Curtin’s protocol)—and how we use both to hold space for profound healing, spiritual alignment, and nervous system safety in clinical settings.

✨ Whether you're Reiki-attuned and unsure how to integrate it into your clinical work, or a seasoned practitioner ready to deepen your impact, this conversation will inspire and inform.

In this episode of the Spiritually Curious Therapist podcast, I interview Carol Ann Brayley, MSW, RSW, SEP, an internationally recognized expert in delivering the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP). Carol Ann discusses her extensive background in trauma work, the transformative power of somatically-oriented therapies, and her journey with SSP and RRP.

We explore the integration of these protocols into therapeutic practice, the role of intuition, and the profound shifts that can occur through deep listening and physiological regulation. We also touch on Carol Ann's unique experiences using these approaches with pets, highlighting the universal applicability and effectiveness of SSP and RRP across different beings.

Welcome back to Heart and Soul Recovery: Healing Relational Trauma from Within.

In Episode 3, we step beyond the psychological and into the energetic and spiritual layers of trauma recovery. Because healing relational trauma isn’t just about understanding—it’s about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that had to go into hiding to survive.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How relational trauma fragments our energy and spirit—not just our mind
• Why emotional disconnection, numbness, or feeling “not like yourself” are signs of survival, not failure
• What soul fragmentation is—and why calling back your lost parts is essential for true healing
• How practices like Reiki, HeartMath, intuitive movement, and sacred rituals can support nervous system regulation and soul reconnection

Healing is not about fixing. It’s about remembering.
It’s about reweaving the threads of your heart, body, energy, and soul into wholeness.
