The Rebel Clinicians Podcast is your home for daring conversations and innovative insights designed to transform the world of mental health and holistic healing. Hosted by seasoned therapists and healers who refuse to be confined by the traditional therapy model, each episode explores the intersection of spirituality, ancient wisdom, and modern therapy. Whether you’re a therapist, social worker, energy healer, or simply someone seeking deeper healing and personal growth, we’re here to inspire, challenge, and guide you on your path.
In each episode, we dive into powerful topics like integrating psychedelics and indigenous wisdom, breaking free from the constraints of “the couch,” financial freedom, and building an authentic practice that reflects your unique magic. We’ll share stories of clinicians who are thriving by being true to themselves, and we’ll reveal practical tools for expanding your practice beyond boundaries while nurturing your soul. From financial strategies and marketing tips to shamanic practices and spiritual journeys, this podcast brings together everything you need to become an empowered and revolutionary healer.
Join us in our mission to disrupt the field, heal deeply, and redefine what it means to be a clinician—one episode at a time. Welcome to the tribe.

S: 02 Epi 08: “The Story You Tell Yourself”
Epi 36: “The Story You Tell Yourself”
Hosts: Alex Runolfson & John Cottrell
What story are you telling yourself--and is it one worth living?
In this expressive, heartfelt, and often hilarious episode, Alex and John explore the power of storytelling--not just as an art form, but as a tool for healing, embodiment, and transformation.
From childhood memories of The Chronicles of Narnia and Jurassic Park to the way they help clients reframe trauma, the hosts unpack how narrative shapes identity. You'll learn how the stories we carry--whether about our worth, our profession, or our purpose--can either keep us small or guide us into fuller authenticity.
Whether you identify as a clinician, a healer, a yogi, or a wizard, this episode invites you to examine:
- Are you the hero, victim, or villain in your own life?
- Is your outer world reflecting your inner truth?
- Are you wearing your magic--or hiding it behind a polo shirt?
With practical tools like rewriting your origin story, embodying your role through movement, and reimagining your daily tasks as mythic quests, this conversation invites you to fully live your story--not just tell it.
