The big message for me and one that I find that therapists find very encouraging is that we are at a time in our science

when we know that it's very beneficial to be with a safe other and especially one who is not there to use you in some way.

If that's a genuine safe relationship, your body will know it and your

patient's body, your client's body, can respond and heal itself. So it doesn't need necessarily a lot of

medicine. It just needs to be long enough in a safe place to get out of defensiveness and move forward into something resembling

restoration and healing. Therapist Unsensored brings you decades of experience with interpersonal psychotherapy,

relational neuroscience, modern attachment, and anything else they think will be helpful in healing humans.

Now, hear your co-host, Dr. Ann Kelly, and Sue Marriott.

Hey, we're super psyched today to bring you guys everything you ever wanted to know about

It is a little chemical molecule in your brain that is responsible for all the good stuff.

The feels, awe, the feeling that you get when you're in love, when you see that piece of art, when you

are with your baby, when your baby looks at you, when your dog looks at you, all those kinds of things.

We have the incredible privilege of having a really in-depth conversation with Dr. Sue Carter

today. She's the director of the

Kensi Institute and Professor of Biology at Indiana University. She also has held the

position of Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina and a whole bunch of other very

impressive sounding things all related to biology ecology,

ethology, psychology, she basically identifies kind of bordering between biology and

psychology, not fitting neatly in either one in particular. She's

authored over 275 articles including five books.
