Football, Flow States and Feelings with Bryan Cohen, Licensed Psychologist

In this episode I interview my long term mentor, friend and colleague, Bryan Cohen.  Bryan is a Licensed Psychologist and has had a vibrant and rewarding 40-year career in social services.  He is currently semi-retired working part time as a psychotherapist.  His passion is working with men and adolescent males and the interface of psychology and spirituality. Bryan's spiritual journey started with a football pass from his brother which lead to an interest in Sports Psychology ultimately landing him in a Transpersonal Psychology program where he learned about presence, authenticity and what it means to have an ego.  In this interview he talks about how these and other teachings have guided him personally and professionally culminating in who he is today and how he shows up for his clients in his psychotherapy practice.Show Notes:In the show Bryan refers to several authors and leaders in the field of Psychology and Spirituality.  Below are links to information about each of them as well as more information about Transpersonal Psychology.Irvin Yalom is an existential psychiatrist who is best known for Group Work as well as Death and Dying.https://www.yalom.comJames Bugental was a psychotherapist and one of the founding fathers of Humanistic Psychology.  He also created existential-humanistic psychotherapy. https://www.bugental.comRam Dass was a spiritual teacher, yoga guru and author well known for his inaugural book "Be Here Now". https://www.ramdass.orgKen Wilber is a philosopher and author known for his "theory of everything".https://integrallife.com/who-is-ken-wilberTranspersonal Psychology is a psychological approach that combines western psychological concepts with spirituality, individual experiences and development beyond the adult ego stages.https://www.atpweb.orgBryan Cohen can be reached at [email protected]: bhctherapy.comJodi Silverman can be reached at [email protected]: therachihealing.com                    journeywithkindredsouls.comTherapists who are interested in being interviewed for the podcast can email [email protected] you interested in how to use Chakra Theory in psychotherapy?  Join our 8 session seminar beginning October 2023 on Chakra Theory and Psychotherapy.  Email [email protected] for more information on the course and CEU approval.  Registration begins in August 2023Share what resonated for youThank you for listening to the Spiritually Curious Therapist Podcast.  If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, and leave a review - it helps us grow and reach more listeners!Until next time.  Stay Curious.You can find Jodi Silverman, LCSW atwww.therachihealing.comwww.journeywithkindredsouls.comFollow me on Socials:TikTok @spiritcurioustherapistInstagram @therachihealingFacebook @TheraChi HealingStay up to date on our offerings by joining our newsletter hereAre you interested in learning more about Reiki Assisted Psychotherapy?Join our facebook group atwww.facebook.com/groups/psychotherapeuticreikiforcliniciansAre you a mental health professional with a spiritual edge and have something to share?  Complete this form to apply to be on the podcast
