Episode 1: What is "Inner Healing Intelligence?"
In this episode, Dr. Little defines Inner Healing Intelligence as “The wisdom that is within each of us that is always guiding us towards health and growth.” Dr. Little discusses how her training as a clinical psychologist for nearly 25 years, with a specialty in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy helped to inform her understanding of this inner wisdom.
Dr. Little reviews three key reasons why individuals often have difficulty listening to and trusting their Inner Healing Intelligence including: a history of being invalidated, a history of engaging in significant self-sabotaging behaviors and a fear of what might happen when we are silent and go within.
Dr. Little also discusses the topics of stigma in mental illness and psychedelics and encourages listeners to stay open minded if these topics are new or uncomfortable.
