Psychiatry Meets The Soul

from Life, Death & The Space Between with Dr. Amy Robbins

I sat down with my friend, Dr. Anna Yusim, a Stanford and Yale-trained psychiatrist, to explore what happens when science and spirituality meet in the therapy room. We talk about her unexpected psychic awakening, how she integrates soul-level work with patients, and the groundbreaking research happening now at Yale.
