THE FREE RADICAL PODCAST #42 | Bhakti, Trauma & the Human Experience — Krishna Lila, March 19, 2025

Krishna Lila’s response to childhood trauma led her to ask life’s biggest questions: Who am I? What am I doing here? What is the purpose? Where is the meaning? In this conversation, Krishna Lila shares her remarkable journey of self-discovery and the pivotal inner shifts that guided her from dissociative survival to embodied spirituality. For years, she felt trapped inside a box, with the instructions for escape written on the outside. She sought answers through top-rated psychologists and eventually entered the field herself, searching for a way out. But it wasn’t until a profound experience turned her gaze inward that she discovered transcendence wasn’t beyond her humanity—it was woven deeply within it. She realized that humanity is the very context of spirituality, and at its heart is bhakti—love. Born in Argentina and raised in New York City, Krishna Lila is a renowned psychologist with decades of training under leading experts in trauma work, including Peter Levine. Now 84, she brings a lifetime of hard-won wisdom and, in this podcast, authentically shares the transformative power of healed trauma.
