Phyllis Leavitt is a psychotherapist and author of America in Therapy. In this episode, we explore how the United States can be understood as a wounded system shaped by history, trauma, and unmet needs for love, safety, and belonging. Phyllis explains how much of what we see in society is unprocessed pain being expressed at scale. We talk about healing through deep listening, creating safety, and restoring connection within ourselves and with one another.
