S5 Episode 38: Where Healing Begins with Dr. Elisha Goldstien, PhD

Dr. Elisha Goldstein is a clinical psychologist, author, teacher, and founder of Emotion Longevity Experience, a global community created to help people reconnect to themselves, to each other, and to a way of living that is grounded, compassionate, and awake. For more than two decades, Dr. Goldstein has been helping people move through anxiety, depression, addiction, and disconnection; not with judgment, but with presence. His work is rooted in mindfulness, not as a buzzword, but as a daily practice of remembering who we are beneath the noise. He is the author of The Now Effect, Uncovering Happiness, The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Workbook, and his upcoming book Tiny Shifts - How Emotional Healing Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity; and his teachings have reached thousands of people around the world who are learning how to slow down, breathe, and meet their pain with curiosity instead of shame. What sets Dr. Goldstein’s voice apart is that it’s not coming from above; it’s coming from alongside. He has lived the questions he now helps others explore because he knows what it means to lose your center and to come back; not all at once, but breath by breath. His story isn’t about arriving at peace, it’s about practicing it, returning to it, and building a life that honors it. Dr. Goldstein reminds us that healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence; and that sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is simply stay with ourselves long enough to hear what we’ve been trying to say.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me.
