My Guest Today is Dr. Anna Yusim

Dr. Anna is an internationally-recognized, award-winning, Board-Certified, Stanford- and Yale-educated Psychiatrist & Executive Coach with a Private Practice in New York City and Connecticut. On the Clinical Faculty at Yale Medical School, Dr. Anna is presently creating a Spirituality & Mental Health Program.

After working as a neurobiology researcher with Dr. Robert Sapolsky Ph.D. and completing her studies at Stanford, Yale Medical School, and the NYU Psychiatry Residency Training Program, Dr. Anna felt that something was missing from her life. In her quest to find it, she traveled, lived, and worked in over 70 countries, while studying Kabbalah, learning Buddhist meditation, and working with South American shamans and Indian gurus.

Dr. Anna has published over 150 academic articles, book chapters, scientific abstracts, book reviews, and Dr. Anna gives keynotes for physicians and professionals all over the country and the world on topics related to mental health and spirituality, physicians as meaning-makers, and resilience. For healthcare professionals, corporate leaders, and community members, she also conducts workshops to empower individuals to sharpen their intuition, cultivate authenticity, awaken self-compassion, enhance their capacity for empathy, and improve their ability to connect with others.

Dr. Anna discusses various topics related to mental health, spirituality, and personal growth. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the concept of obstacles as opportunities for growth. The conversation explores the study of energy, the mainstream acceptance of spiritual concepts, and the role of psychedelics in holistic mental health. The power of group settings, intuition, and synchronicities are also discussed. Other topics include gratitude, living a fulfilled life, overcoming fear, reprogramming the mind for abundance, and integrating yin and yang energies. The conversation concludes with a focus on confidence in spirituality and the journey of overcoming addictions.
