Conversations with Dr. Vassilia
Most people don't realize they're living out stories that were written long before they had the words to tell them.
Conversations with Dr. Vassilia explores the unconscious patterns that shape how we love, cope, achieve, and struggle. Hosted by licensed psychotherapist, author, and founder of Juno Counseling & Wellness, Dr. Vassilia Binensztok, the show features thoughtful conversations with experts, public figures, and everyday people whose stories reveal the psychology beneath human behavior. Through discussions of childhood experiences, attachment, trauma, nervous system regulation, relationships, and resilience, you'll gain a deeper understanding of why you do what you do—and how lasting change becomes possible. If you're fascinated by psychology, healing, and the stories beneath the story, you're in the right place.

Before the NFL, before Oklahoma, before the draft—there was a 15-year-old fighting to survive a childhood marked by dysfunction.
In this episode of The Hidden Story, Nic Harris shares the parts of his story most people never see: being emancipated, finding stability through an unexpected adoption, and building a future through football.
When injuries took his career, Nic was forced to confront a deeper question—who am I without this?
This is a conversation about trauma, resilience, identity, and the courage to keep going when life doesn’t turn out the way you planned.
