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.

Heart and Soul Recovery: Healing Relational Trauma from Within (Part 1 of 4 part series)
Welcome to a brand-new solo series: Heart and Soul Recovery: Healing Relational Trauma from Within.
In this 4-part journey, I’ll walk you through the deeper layers of healing relational trauma—not just from a psychological lens, but from a spiritual and nervous system-informed perspective. Together, we’ll explore how healing happens when we reconnect with the body, regulate the nervous system, and remember who we truly are beneath the pain.
In this first episode, I share what makes relational trauma unique—and why it can be so hard to identify and walk away from. Unlike single-event trauma, relational trauma is often subtle, repeated, and rooted in the people we trusted most. Whether it’s emotional neglect, betrayal, or abuse, these wounds run deep—and they often fracture our connection with ourselves.
But this isn’t just about what's broken.
It's about what’s waiting to be reclaimed.
You’ll hear:
- The difference between relational trauma and other forms of trauma
- How betrayal, neglect, and emotional abuse impact your sense of self
- Why trauma healing is not about fixing or controlling others but a journey back to your true self
- The concept of trauma bonds and betrayal blindness and why they keep us stuck
✨ Plus, I’ll guide you through a gentle practice to set the foundation of reconnection with your best friend and trusted guide - Your own Heart.
