LEANING INTO THE FIRE: A Podcast About Therapy

Conversations That Change Lives

Leaning Into the Fire: A Podcast About Therapy explores the real work of healing—what happens when people have the courage to face the parts of themselves they'd rather avoid. Hosted by Ed Peterson, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Therapist and Supervisor, the podcast features thoughtful conversations with therapists, authors, researchers, and other helping professionals about what truly helps people heal.

Drawing from Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Jungian psychology, trauma-informed therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other evidence-based and depth-oriented approaches, each episode explores the ideas, struggles, breakthroughs, and moments of connection that shape our lives. Whether the topic is relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, spirituality, or personal growth, every conversation is an invitation to look beneath the surface and discover what makes lasting change possible.

This podcast is for therapists, students, clients, and anyone who wants a deeper understanding of themselves and others. Rather than offering quick fixes or surface-level advice, Leaning Into the Fire explores the deeper work of emotional healing—helping listeners build stronger relationships, cultivate greater self-awareness, and live with more authenticity, courage, and connection.

Because sometimes the only way forward in life... is to learn to lean into the fire. 🔥
