The Spiritually Curious Therapist
The Spiritually Curious Therapist podcast is an exploration of the intersection between spirituality and healing in the context of psychotherapy and other healing arts practices. Hosted by Jodi Silverman, Psychotherapist, Reiki Practitioner and Consciousness Guide. Jodi is wildly curious about the human journey towards wholeness and seeks to understand all the ways in which human beings learn, heal and grow. Each episode will dive into conversations with fellow therapists, spiritual teachers and thought leaders with a few solo episodes interspersed with the goal of exploring how the therapist's spiritual practice impacts their identity as a healer.
