From Both Sides Of The Couch: Self-Awareness, Psychology & Mindfulness for Women

Do you ever feel like you've lost touch with yourself?

Maybe you're overwhelmed by everyone else's needs, emotionally exhausted, or simply moving through the motions of daily life wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore.

Welcome to From Both Sides of the Couch, a psychology and mindfulness podcast for women who want to reconnect with themselves and create lives that feel more grounded, intentional, and fulfilling.

I'm Dr. Laurie Bruce, a licensed clinical psychologist and mindfulness coach with more than 25 years of experience helping women navigate stress, anxiety, burnout, difficult relationships, perfectionism, life transitions, and the emotional challenges that come with caring for everyone but themselves.

Each week, we'll explore the psychology behind why we think, feel, and behave the way we do, while learning practical mindfulness skills that help you move from autopilot to greater awareness, self-trust, and emotional well-being. Together we'll talk about topics like:

Stress and anxiety
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Mindfulness and self-awareness
Boundaries and people-pleasing
Relationships and communication
Perfectionism and self-compassion
Midlife transitions and personal growth
Emotional regulation and resilience

My goal isn't to help you become someone new.

It's to help you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath the responsibilities, expectations, and endless doing.

If you're ready to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and begin living with greater intention, I'm so glad you're here.

Episode 1: What is "Inner Healing Intelligence?"
In this episode, Dr. Little defines Inner Healing Intelligence as “The wisdom that is within each of us that is always guiding us towards health and growth.” Dr. Little discusses how her training as a clinical psychologist for nearly 25 years, with a specialty in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy helped to inform her understanding of this inner wisdom.
Dr. Little reviews three key reasons why individuals often have difficulty listening to and trusting their Inner Healing Intelligence including: a history of being invalidated, a history of engaging in significant self-sabotaging behaviors and a fear of what might happen when we are silent and go within.
Dr. Little also discusses the topics of stigma in mental illness and psychedelics and encourages listeners to stay open minded if these topics are new or uncomfortable.
