"We must shift the paradigm from one of separation and scientific materialism to one that recognizes the sacredness and interconnectedness of everything so that we will be able to live in a way that supports the thriving of life on Earth now and for future generations."(Judy Tsafrir, Sacred Psychiatry, 2024.) In today’s episode, I speak with Judy Tsafrir – a psychiatrist for both adults and children, psychoanalyst, astrologer, and shamanic practitioner. I’m so pleased to have her on the podcast with such a groundbreaking theme. I spend much of our conversation trying to wrap my head around how psychiatry can be sacred. Judy’s work challenges the reductionist approach of Western medicine - She writes in her book, that true healing isn’t about returning to a broken version of “normal,” but about creating space for deep transformation rooted in intuition, soul, and meaning. In this interview you will hear how she works and what she thinks of the time we are in, especially within allopathic medicine. Here are some of the core themes we explore: — The limits of conventional psychiatry, which often ignores the body’s innate intelligence, fails to seek root causes, and disconnects healing from the sacred. — Why Judy does not support what is going on today in psychiatry, yet the importance of diagnosing — Her identity as a “Chironic psychiatrist,” embracing the archetype of the wounded healer and the major turning point for her at her Chiron Return — The existential void created by a materialist worldview and how this contributes to alienation and hopelessness. — The role of astrology in providing a framework for understanding oneself — Holistic weaning from psychiatric medications — Using food as medicine versus relying on pharmaceutical pills — The range of healing modalities Judy works with, including shamanic practices, energy healing, and meditation This conversation is a powerful reflection of a new way to view and treat psychological wounds - I hope you enjoy it and learn a little something new!
