| 0:00.0 | It is so unusual for me to find, to come across someone in the psychological or psychiatric |
| 0:07.4 | space that's actually talking about using their intuition, tapping into spirit guides, |
| 0:14.6 | ancestors, using shamanism and astrology in their clinical work. |
| 0:21.4 | And today, I was able to do that with Dr. Judy Safrier. |
| 0:26.6 | She is a holistic healer, activist, artist, and gardener with a holistic psychiatry and |
| 0:33.6 | psychoanalytic practice. |
| 0:35.7 | And she is on the faculty ready for this at Harvard Medical School, the Boston Psychoanalytic |
| 0:43.7 | Institute, and she teaches and supervisors at the Cambridge Health Alliance. |
| 0:49.1 | And why this conversation was so just validating for me, and I think for so many of you will love it as well, |

| 1:41.7 | and how they can help facilitate a more holistic, perhaps a quicker, |
| 1:49.5 | not that I'm into quick fixes, but a quicker way of healing because you're looking at all the |
| 1:55.6 | different parts that are impacting someone's psyche and their human experience. So I think you will all |
| 2:05.5 | really enjoy this heartfelt interview. Her book is Sacred Psychiatry, bridging the personal and |
| 2:13.1 | transpersonal to transform health and consciousness. So how innovative is that? I'm just so excited to bring |
| 2:23.2 | this interview to you because I'm so excited that we are starting to have more people in this |
