In this episode of Into the Body, host Dr. Aleksandra Filipovic sits down with internationally recognized mind-body psychiatrist, executive coach, and author Dr. Anna Yusim, to explore the profound intersection of science, spirituality, and healing. Dr. Yusim, a Stanford- and Yale-educated psychiatrist and author of “Fulfilled”, shares her personal journey and the discovery of deeper connection between identity, emotional truth and wellbeing. Together, they discuss how modern medicine can expand beyond diagnosis and treatment to embrace a more holistic understanding of human health.
They explore:
- How childhood experiences and survival strategies shape the “masks” we wear in adulthood
- The moment when success no longer feels aligned and how self-inquiry begins
- Why science and spirituality should not be seen as opposing forces in medicine
- The three common struggles many patients face
- How symptoms may carry adaptive meaning and guide deeper healing
- Why authentic connection between doctor and patient can be a powerful catalyst for transformation
