Living with Ghosts
About this episode
This week’s conversation with filmmaker Stephen Berkley left me in awe. His documentary Life with Ghosts reveals how his mother’s crippling grief transformed when she began communicating with spirits. We explore automatic writing, induced after-death communication therapy (IADC), and why therapists MUST listen to clients’ spiritual experiences. As a psychologist and medium, I’m passionate about bridging science and spirituality—especially for those drowning in loss. If you’ve ever felt a loved one’s presence or questioned the afterlife, this episode is your validation. Plus: I’m launching a course for clinicians on spiritually informed therapy! Join me as we tear down the walls between grief and grace.
