On the Table with Ashley Wellness Series: Holistic Psychology with Dr. Rinat Tal
Holistic Psychology is on the table today!
In the fourth episode of our Wellness series, we are joined by Psychiatrist, Dr. Rinat Tal. Dr. Tal’s connection to mental health began in childhood, shaped by her ancestors’ experiences as Holocaust survivors. Growing up in this environment fueled her desire to understand both herself and those around her on a deeper level. Dr. Tal’s work combines medical practices with a holistic perspective, considering the mind, body, and emotions as interconnected elements of well-being. In addition to her practice, Dr. Tal teaches workshops at the Free Association Clinic for Existential Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis centered around the philosophical underpinnings of human emotions.
Dr. Tal joins us to delve into some of the most contested topics in wellness; topics that define her work. She unpacks the mechanics of generational trauma, her perspective uniquely informed by being the granddaughter of 4 holocaust survivors, and grapples with the complexities of prescribing medication as a fix-all. Dr. Tal’s wise insights remind us of the importance of viewing mental health through a holistic lens, one that requires patience, exploration and community.
