E251: Phyllis Leavitt - The Healing Journey

In Phyllis's own words:


I have just written book called America in Therapy: A New
Approach To Hope And Healing For A Nation In Crisis, in which I
talk about the urgency to bring our whole country to therapy in a
way never written about before. From years of experience as a
client myself, and well over 30 years of experience as a
psychotherapist working extensively with individual and family
dysfunction and abuse, I felt a deep calling to share all I have
learned with the public and demonstrate how the principles of the
best psychotherapy can be used to help heal our country of
escalating hatred, divisiveness and violence. I speak to all of
us who fear for our children and all future generations, who may
feel hopeless or resigned or simply don't know what to do to help
create a more loving and sustainable world. I bring a message of
both urgency and hope, in language the layman can easily relate
to and understand, through personal stories, client case studies,
and professional expertise. My basic premise is that we are on a
collision course with our own extinction and I see this as a
national and global mental health crisis that is not being
addressed. I explore the direct correlation between the most
destructive family dynamics on the individual level and many of
the behaviors and actions of some of our most powerful
institutions and leaders, and I highlight that millions of us are
suffering the effects of national psychological dysfunction in
ways we might not be aware of. I help the listener understand
that many answers of how to heal our human relations and restore
us to peace and safety are already known and used effectively in
the field of psychotherapy and that there is HOPE if we can take
everything we know about healing into national conversation. The
best psychotherapy helps interrupt the cycle of violence— which
is our best hope of prevention— and it involves a total reversal
of many of the beliefs and dynamics that now run our country. I
share with the listener, in ways not commonly understood or
generally spoken of, all I have learned about what is needed to
help restore us to safety, and how every one of us can
participate in healing ourselves and our country, no matter how
large or small our sphere of influence.
