What if the traditional therapy model is fundamentally broken? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with my co-founders from the Integrative Psychology Institute - Adam Carney, President & Co-Founder of the Institute For Integrative Trauma, and Molly Mendoza, Founder of the Integrative Psychology Institute. We expose the critical flaws in traditional therapy education and reveal our revolutionary 18-month masters program that's changing everything. 

Discover why most therapists graduate unprepared for real-world practice, how our competency-based model prioritizes embodied learning over test performance, and why addressing biology alongside psychology is essential for true healing. 

We explore the connection between authenticity and nervous system regulation, how business can be a mirror for personal growth, and why the future of therapy requires practitioners who have mastered their own embodied presence first. If you're interested in mental health, considering therapy training, or curious about the intersection of psychology, biology, and spirituality, this episode reveals a completely new paradigm for healing.
