The Journey of a WHOLEistic Psychologist with Sophia Dawson #1

In this candid solo episode, I share the story behind WHOLEistic Psychology starting you from where it all began - what made me want to become a psychologist, university lecture halls, prison cells (yes, really), and significant gut health issues... right through to building my business to where it is today.This one’s for anyone who’s curious about my journey, psychology students and psychologists, and to anyone who’s wanting to listen to their intuition to guide their path! I open up about:✨ That teenage spark that lit the fire for psychology ✨ How my own experiences with anxiety shaped my curiosity (and my compassion) ✨ Why I loved my time in forensic psych, and what it taught me about humanity ✨ The gut health crisis that changed my entire path ✨ Why nutrition is non-negotiable in how I support mental health ✨ My pivot from public systems to working with teens in private practice ✨ What it really took to start WHOLEistic Psychology and follow the vision ✨ My next chapter: building something bigger (and doing a PhD while I’m at it!)This episode is a wee peek behind the curtain into why I do what I do, and why WHOLEistic Psychology will always embody the values and evidence I live by in my own life and the power of the mind body connection.Want even more WHOLEistic Psychology?
