#246 Taming the Anxious Mind: Insights from Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan

On today’s episode, Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan, a renowned mental health expert, takes us on a journey through her unique approach to therapy, blending mindfulness, nature, and existential theory. Growing up amidst the stunning Alps, Dr. Schreiber-Pan developed a profound understanding of nature’s healing power, which she now weaves into her practice. Joined by Louise Phipps Senft, the two explore the transformative intersections of spirituality, nature, and trauma recovery, highlighting the importance of finding purpose and meaning after life's challenges.

Dr. Schreiber-Pan introduces the SITSpot practice—a powerful method for intentionally connecting with nature to foster resilience and mental well-being. Drawing from her book Taming the Anxious Mind, she offers practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress during daily life and particularly in times of transition while addressing common misconceptions about trauma. Packed with insights and inspiration, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to navigate life’s transitions with grace and strength.
