In this episode of Psychology & the Soul™, we explore autism through a deeper, more human lens — one that moves beyond diagnosis and into awareness, sensitivity, and lived experience.

Autism is often defined by behaviors. But behavior is only what we see.

What we don’t always understand… is what’s happening internally.

Joined by special guest Prajna Avalon, an autistic healer, this conversation invites you to slow down, listen differently, and expand your understanding of neurodivergence — not as something to fix, but as a different way of perceiving, feeling, and being in the world.

Hosted by Kellee White, LMFT, and Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri, PhD, this episode explores the intersection of psychology, nervous system awareness, and spiritually informed perspective.

✨ In This Episode, We Discuss:
What autism feels like from the inside
Nervous system sensitivity and regulation
The impact of masking and being misunderstood
Common misconceptions about autism
Emotional needs and what actually helps
Intuition, perception, and awareness
What it means to be human beyond labels

This is not a conversation about fixing.
It’s about understanding.

Because difference is not something to correct —
it’s something to meet with awareness.

In this episode of Psychology & the Soul™, we explore one of the most powerful — and often misunderstood — areas of healing: inner child work and shadow integration.

Who you are today is not just your conscious self.
It is made up of parts — shaped by experiences, wounds, protection, and survival.

Some of those parts are easy to accept.
Others have been pushed away, silenced, or hidden.

This is where shadow work begins.

Hosted by Kellee White, LMFT, and Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri, PhD, this episode brings together psychology and spiritual awareness to explore how fragmented identity, shame, and repression impact your emotional life — and how integration leads to wholeness.

In this episode, we discuss:

✨ What “inner child” really means in psychology
✨ How parts of you form through experience and survival
✨ The role of shame in fragmentation
✨ What shadow work actually is (and what it’s not)
✨ Why repression creates disconnection
✨ How to begin integrating all parts of yourself
✨ The path from fragmentation to wholeness

This is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about meeting the parts of you that were never fully seen.

Because healing doesn’t come from becoming someone new.
It comes from becoming whole.

“If you feel anxious all the time… it might not be you.
It might be the world your nervous system is trying to survive in.”

In this episode of Psychology & the Soul™, we explore what it means to live in a world that never turns off — and how constant information, pressure, and uncertainty are impacting your nervous system in real time.

You’re not broken.
You’re responding.

We are living in a time of global dysregulation — where anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and emotional shutdown are becoming the norm. But what many people don’t realize is that these are not personality flaws… they are nervous system responses.

Hosted by Kellee White, LMFT, and Dr. Shirley Impellizzeri, PhD, this episode breaks down:

✨ What emotional regulation actually is
✨ How the nervous system responds to stress (fight, flight, freeze)
✨ Why anxiety is increasing in today’s world
✨ The impact of fear-based media and constant stimulation
✨ How to tell what you’re feeling is yours — and what isn’t
✨ Science-backed tools to regulate your nervous system
✨ Mindfulness practices grounded in psychology and awareness

You’ll also learn simple, practical techniques you can use immediately to come back to center — including breathwork, grounding, emotional labeling, and awareness-based practices.

This episode is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding what your body is trying to tell you.

So if you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down…

Pause.
Take a breath.
And ask yourself:

“Is this mine… or am I carrying more than I need to?”
