The Spiritually Curious Therapist
The Spiritually Curious Therapist is a podcast exploring the intersection of nervous system science, mental health, spirituality, and healing.
Hosted by Jodi Silverman, LCSW, this show is for therapists, healers, and curious humans who sense that true healing happens below the level of insight alone. Through thoughtful conversations and solo reflections, we explore trauma, chronic pain and illness, altered states, regulation, meaning-making, and what it really takes to help the nervous system feel safe enough to change.
This is a space for grounded mysticism, where evidence-based practice meets soul-level wisdom, and where healing is approached with curiosity, compassion, and respect for the body’s innate intelligence.
Whether you’re a clinician expanding beyond talk therapy or someone on your own healing path, this podcast invites you to listen differently — to symptoms, to stories, and to what’s asking to be integrated.

Exploring Neurodiversity in Therapy: Communication, Connection & Healing (Part 2)
In this episode of The Spiritually Curious Therapist, I’m joined once again by the wise and compassionate Ayla Ault for part two of our conversation on supporting neurodivergent clients—particularly those who are late-diagnosed and high-masking.
Together, we explore the healing potential of weaving clinical skill with intuitive, holistic presence. We talk about the deeply personal ways neurodivergent individuals experience the world, through unique communication styles, sensory sensitivities, and inner landscapes that are often overlooked or misunderstood.
We also explore how special interests and affirming communities—like Dungeons & Dragons, BDSM, and spiritual groups can become vital sources of safety, identity, and belonging.
This conversation is a heartfelt invitation to meet neurodivergent clients with attuned curiosity, softness, and deep respect so they can feel truly seen, honored, and supported on their healing journey.
