Elizabeth Scott is a licensed therapist, intuitive guide, and the founder of HeartSight Healing, where she brings together the science of psychology and the very soul of healing. Elizabeth is board-certified by the National Board for Certified Counselors, holds an M.S. in Clinical Community Counseling from Johns Hopkins University, and a B.A. in English from Furman University; but her real credentials live in the way she listens… with presence and reverence. With deep roots in Internal Family Systems therapy enhanced by complementary practices like energy healing, astrology, somatic attunement, and nature-based therapy, Elizabeth’s work bridges the clinical and the sacred; offering a unique integrative approach that blends evidence-based modalities with soul-centered practices. For more than fifteen years Elizabeth has walked alongside those navigating trauma, burnout, grief, and inner disconnection; and not as a fixer or an expert: but as a compassionate guide who helps people remember the truth of who they are beneath the survival patterns. Elizabeth helps clients create inner safety, transform their relationship with painful parts, and reconnect with the wisdom that has always lived within them, always honoring the whole human being. At the heart of Elizabeth’s work is the guiding belief that we don’t need to be fixed; we need to be remembered; and her mission is clear; to help people come home to themselves, not just in theory, but in felt, lasting ways. In a culture that often asks us to override, fragment, and bypass, Elizabeth offers a different path - one that says your sensitivity is not a flaw, your story is not too much, and your healing doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Her work is a constant and gentle reminder that emotional safety isn’t something we earn… it’s something we learn to allow and when we stop fighting ourselves and start listening within, we begin to remember what’s always been true: that we are already whole, already wise, and already home.

Dr. Galit Atlas is a psychoanalyst, writer, and internationally renowned voice in the world of emotional healing whose work illuminates the invisible threads between our personal suffering and the legacies we inherit. She is a faculty member at NYU’s Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and a celebrated clinician who has spent decades helping people uncover the unspoken stories that live in their bodies, relationships, and choices. Dr. Atlas is the author of Emotional Inheritance: a groundbreaking book that explores how trauma we didn’t experience directly can shape our lives in ways we don’t always understand, and how healing often begins by naming what has long been unsaid. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Oprah Daily, and other major publications, where her voice brings both intellectual clarity and emotional resonance to topics that are often hidden in silence. Dr. Atlas teaches that what we carry from generations before us is not just pain, but also resilience, creativity, and longing. Her work is not just about the past; it’s about liberation in the present and bringing curiosity and compassion to the stories and legacies we’ve inherited, and in so doing; reclaiming the right to choose our future. Dr. Atlas’s presence in the field is as poetic as it is precise; and she’s a constant reminder that healing is not about erasing the past… it’s about finding ourselves within it and learning to live fully, while holding what came before.Connect with Dr. Atlas:Instagram - @galit_atlasWebsite - www.galitatlas.comIs there a guest you’d love to see on @notyourordinaryparts?

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.

Caitlan Siegenthaler is a licensed therapist, mentor, educator, and the creator of “Return”; a top 10% global podcast for big-hearted humans ready to unhook from hustle culture and finally come home to themselves. With a master’s in counseling psychology and over a decade of clinical experience, Caitlan is trained in trauma recovery, IFS, and Human Design, but what makes Caitlan's work so amazing isn’t just what she knows, it’s what she sees. Caitlan has an uncanny ability to name what’s hard to articulate: the invisible pressure to perform worthiness, the hidden ache inside high-functioning burnout, and the parts of us that look like confidence but are actually self-protection. Caitlan's work brings language to the internal systems that shape our lives and offers tools to rewire them with compassion, precision, and soul. Caitlan is so relatable because her journey began like so many others, with unraveling. A called-off engagement, deep personal burnout, and a season of identity loss forced her to stop performing and start listening, not to the world, but to herself; and that quiet reckoning became her life’s work. Because Caitlan knows what it means to build a beautiful life that doesn’t feel like home, she also knows the courage it takes to burn that life down and begin again. Through her mentorship containers, workshops, and podcast, Caitlan helps others return to the parts of themselves they had to abandon to survive. Her spaces are rooted in emotional safety, deep permission, and nervous-system-level relief. Caitlan doesn’t just guide people into healing, she helps them reclaim the right to feel, to rest, and to belong to themselves again. In a fast-paced world that often demands more, faster, and louder, Caitlan is a voice of return and she’s reminding us that healing isn’t something you hustle for, it’s something you remember, something you reclaim; and something you become, and with every session, every word, and every pause that lets someone finally exhale; Caitlan is redefining what it means to be whole.

With over two decades of clinical experience and a deeply personal journey of his own, Dr. Howard has helped thousands of people reclaim their lives by healing at the level of the nervous system and beyond. As a survivor of his own childhood trauma and chronic illness, Dr. Howard’s path was not one of textbook theories; it was one carved out of necessity.

In his best-selling books, including “It’s Not Your Fault” and “Decode Your Fatigue,” he redefines healing, not as symptom management, but as a return to wholeness. Dr. Howard is also the creator of Therapeutic Coaching, an integrative methodology that bridges psychology, somatic therapy, and parts work to support people in healing deep-rooted trauma and reprogramming emotional patterns that no longer serve them. Through his podcast, live events, and online programs, he reaches millions around the world with tools that blend science with soul, and theory with lived truth. In a world that too often tells us to push through pain and override the body’s wisdom, Dr. Howard is a voice of grounded, compassionate authority, showing us, that recovery isn’t just possible; it’s our birthright.Connect with Dr. Howard:Instagram - @dralexhowardWebsite - www.alexhoward.comYouTube - @dralexhowardtherapyIs there a guest you’d love to see on @notyourordinaryparts?

Dr. Jennifer Freyd is a world-renowned psychologist, researcher, and author whose groundbreaking work has reshaped our understanding of trauma, memory, and betrayal. Dr. Freyd is Professor Emerit of Psychology at the University of Oregon, Affiliate Professor of Psychology and Affiliate Professor of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington, and Founder and President of the Center for Institutional Courage. Over the past four decades, Dr. Freyd has been at the forefront of studying how the people and institutions we trust the most can cause the deepest harm and, more importantly, how we can heal from it. As an internationally recognized expert on Betrayal Trauma Theory, Dr. Freyd has revealed how our minds adapt to survive when those closest to us - parents, partners, mentors, institutions, etc., betray our trust. Her research has revolutionized the way we understand trauma responses, showing that forgetting, denial, and even self-blame can be coping mechanisms rather than signs of weakness. Dr. Freyd as founder and president of the Center for Institutional Courage, has shed light on Institutional Betrayal; how organizations, workplaces, and systems protect abusers and silence survivors instead of standing for justice. Dr. Freyd's work provides not just a diagnosis of these failures, but a blueprint for courage, integrity, and real systemic change. Her book, Betrayal Trauma: delves into the complex and often hidden world of betrayal trauma, explaining why survivors so often struggle to name their experiences and why healing requires more than just remembering, it requires breaking through the silence and reclaiming self-trust. Through her work, Dr. Freyd has given language to pain that had none, validated the experiences of countless survivors, and proven that even in the face of betrayal, whether personal or institutional, healing is possible, justice is worth fighting for, and courage is contagious.Connect with Dr. Freyd:Website - www.jjfreyd.comDr. Freyd's Books - www.jjfreyd.com/booksResources for Changemakers: www.institutionalcourage.org/resources-for-changemakersIs there a guest you’d love to see on @notyourordinaryparts?

Dr. Joanna Moncrieff is a psychiatrist, professor, author, and one of the most fearless and influential thinkers in modern mental health. For over thirty years, Dr. Moncrieff has stood at the center of psychiatry, not to defend it blindly, but to question its foundations, to hold it accountable, and to tell the truth; even when the truth was inconvenient. She is a Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London, a consultant psychiatrist in the UK’s National Health Service, and the co-founder of the Critical Psychiatry Network - a global collective of psychiatrists challenging the chemical narratives that have shaped and distorted our understanding of mental illness for decades. For years, we’ve been told that depression is caused by a “chemical imbalance,” that our despair is a disorder, and that our suffering is a malfunction; but Dr. Moncrieff has spent her life asking the question most were too afraid to ask: “What if we got this wrong?” In 2022, she co-authored one of the most important studies in psychiatric history, a landmark meta-analysis that dismantled the serotonin theory of depression, revealing that the scientific basis for one of the most widely accepted explanations for mental illness simply doesn’t exist. Her latest book, Chemically Imbalanced, goes further; it doesn’t just challenge the pharmaceutical narrative; it exposes the social, political, and economic systems that have medicalized emotion and pathologized pain; and it is a call to reclaim our right to feel, to grieve, to question, and to be human without shame or sedation. Beyond the research and the resistance, Dr. Moncrieff is much more: She’s a doctor who has sat across from real people in real pain and never stopped asking what was missing from the way we care and a woman who has walked through the noise of a multi-billion-dollar industry and emerged with her conscience and her courage intact with no intent to burn it down; but to build something better.Connect with Dr. Moncrieff:Website - https://joannamoncrieff.comIs there a guest you’d love to see on @notyourordinaryparts?
