In each episode, Dr. Adriana examines what is beyond the traditional point of view of mental health diagnosis, care, and treatment. She speaks with leaders and visionaries in the fields of Energy Psychology, consciousness, healing, spirituality, and empowerment about what is beyond what we have decided we know about mental illness. This show is a journey of discovering the possibilities of holistic care and treatment through a variety of lenses: from the spiritual to the shamanic, the naturopathic and beyond. Each conversation is designed to empower listeners to embrace their own awareness, gifts, and capacities, and to create a greater world with them.#mentalhealthpodcast #energypsychology #mentalhealth #psychology #mentalillness #holistichealing #trauma #addiction #depression #anxiety #PTSD Wed, 10 Jun 2026 05:32:15 +0000 https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/qceqws7xrt8eq9g6/Episode_118ad4uk.mp3 To watch the video of this podcast, please go to: https://youtu.be/HnKzDLlBV3g?si=vT3xfQZDR9z5Unez   Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a loop of managing symptoms, constantly battling anxiety or chronic pain without ever getting to the root of the problem?
