Welcome to Seasons 3 Episode 6 of the Psych Life Podcast where we had the privilege of speaking with Clinical Psychologist Stephanie Carinia. Stephanie is a Trauma and Personality Specialist who was able to shed some light on how trauma is not necessarily an event, but the perception of an event. The messages or stories we form is often times more important, than the event itself.
Stephanie enlightened us with some wisdom as to how our own insecurities and past traumas can affect us in ways that cloak themselves from us. In other words, it is until we challenge our own faulty beliefs and emotional wounds, that we can achieve the level of consciousness that we desire.

International Women's Day means different things to different people, but the global focus on equality and celebration is clear.
Throughout ancient and modern history, women have collaborated and lead purposeful action to redress inequality in the hope of a better future for their communities, children and themselves. Whether through bold well-documented action or through humble resistance that never made it into the history books, women have united for equality and achievement forever.
Here on The Psych Life Podcast we decided to honor International Women’s Day by inviting Elena Petrovska who is the author of On My Period: Poems, which she wrote during her menstruation cycles within a 9 month time frame!
We hope you enjoy everyone, and as always #psychlife

Hello there Psych Lifers,
We're consistently looking for guest that can bring insight into the human psyche. As many of you know, Sigmund Freud is one of the fathers of Psychology and the person who recognized the importance of the unconscious mind. Psychoanalysis is an extension of Freud's teachings which are still relevant in today's age. To learn more, we invited Psychoanalyst Carlos Padron to discuss some of Freud's theories, Dream interpretation, and some of the diliema's #Psychoanalysis face when working with those who come from lower socioeconomic status in New York and around the world.
Carlos Padron is a passionate Psychoanalyst who recently was part of a Documentary called "Psychoanalysis en el Barrio"
We heavily recommend for you to check out the documentary to gain a better understanding of some of the great work Carlos Padron and his colleagues do around the world utilizing Psychoanalysis.
Hello there Psych Lifers,
Resiliency is often defined by getting up one more time than you were knocked down whether it be mentally of physically. Well, today we had the honor and the privilege of interviewing 2012 UK Rowing Olympic Gold Medalist David Smith. David was born with a "club foot" and a un-diagnosed tumor. Despite these early medical issues David was able to find peace within the sport of Karate, and later switched to sprinting with the hopes of competing in the Olympics. In 2010 with 14 months away from the 2012 Olympic games, David was forced to undergo surgery that left him paralyzed, for a tumor the was never diagnosed during the earlier stages of his development. David was able to overcome the odds, compete, and win a gold medal with the UK Rowing team in 2012. David is a delightful individual who values the support his family has given him throughout his journey. Throughout his life David has gone 4 surgeries for a re-occuring tumor and every time he seems to come back even stronger. Thank you David, for being an example, and providing a template for us to follow for what to do next time we get knocked down.
