Rebel Clinicians Podcast
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.

Hosts: Alex Runolfson & John Cottrell
In the closing chapter of our Spirit Animals series, Alex and John venture into the realm
of mythological guides--Dragon, Unicorn, Griffin, Phoenix, and more--and show how
these archetypal beings can be practical partners in therapy, ritual, and daily life. While
many traditions reserve "power animals" for creatures that have walked the Earth, we
invite a more experiential approach: if a symbol shows up with benevolent energy and
moves your healing forward, work with it.
You'll hear how Dragon supports sovereignty and boundary work (and why luck
dragons can bless a project), how Centaur/Chiron models the wounded healer and
helps integrate instinct with intellect, how Unicorn restores innocence and truth for
inner-child repair, how Griffin blends earth-power and sky-vision to guard thresholds,
and how Phoenix alchemizes grief and endings into rebirth. Expect clean, clinician-
friendly takeaways--altars and simple rituals, elemental anchors, and somatic/yoga
metaphors you can bring straight into sessions.
