Inner Healing Intelligence: Emotional and Spiritual Growth Through Psychedelics and Mindfulness

About Inner Healing Intelligence: Emotional and Spiritual Growth Through Psychedelics and Mindfulness

Do you ever feel like you've lost touch with yourself? Maybe you're overwhelmed by everyone else's needs, emotionally exhausted, or simply moving through the motions of daily life wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore. Welcome to From Both Sides of the Couch, a psychology and mindfulness podcast for women who want to reconnect with themselves and create lives that feel more grounded, intentional, and fulfilling. I'm Dr. Laurie Bruce, a licensed clinical psychologist and mindfulness coach with more than 25 years of experience helping women navigate stress, anxiety, burnout, difficult relationships, perfectionism, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that come with caring for everyone but themselves. Each week, we'll explore the psychology behind why we think, feel, and behave the way we do, while learning practical mindfulness skills that help you move from autopilot to greater awareness, self-trust, and emotional well-being. Together we'll talk about topics like: Stress and anxiety Burnout and emotional exhaustion Mindfulness and self-awareness Boundaries and people-pleasing Relationships and communication Perfectionism and self-compassion Midlife transitions and personal growth Emotional regulation and resilience My goal isn't to help you become someone new. It's to help you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath the responsibilities, expectations, and endless doing. If you're ready to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and begin living with greater intention, I'm so glad you're here.

   The Yes Trap: Why Saying No Feels Impossible (and How to Start)

   Ever said yes and immediately regretted it? This episode digs into why 'yes' can feel like part of who we are—people-pleasing, the fawn response, fear of disappointing—and offers one tiny, powerful practice: pause and say, “Let me think about it.” Start small, be gentle with yourself, and remember boundaries are a practice, not proof you’re a bad person. Try the pause and see what you actually want. CONNECT WITH DR. LAURIE BRUCE If something in today’s episode resonated with you, I’d love to stay connected. Take the How Connected Are You? Quiz How connected are you to yourself right now?
