Sacred Psychiatry, with Judy Suzanne Reis Tsafrir, MD

Please join us and our guest, Judy Suzanne Reis Tsafrir, MD, for a show on Sacred Psychiatry: Bridging the Personal and Transpersonal to Transform Health and Consciousness. For far too many, their experience with conventional psychiatry likely consisted of suppressing symptoms with pharmaceuticals, all without being considered as a whole person. It’s probable that there is little exploration of the power of the sacred to promote healing, which is especially crucial in our current climate of widespread fear and disconnection. The reader is introduced to a diverse range of holistic approaches to psychiatric healing. It offers invaluable guidance on how to develop personal spiritual practice and highlights the profound significance of fulfilling the soul’s purpose. Moreover, it illustrates the usefulness of astrology, emphasizes how toxic relationships undermine healing, showcases the remarkable healing power of food as medicine, and provides a holistic framework for weaning off psychiatric pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Tsafrir is a holistic healer with a private psychiatry and psychoanalysis practice in Newton, Massachusetts. She is a board-certified adult and child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, is on the faculties of Harvard Medical School and the Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute and teaches and supervises at the Cambridge Health Alliance. Although thoroughly trained in the conventional allopathic approach to psychiatric care, she no longer endorses it, and in fact, believes that it causes harm. The multi-modal approach she makes use of with her patients integrates her conventional training in adult and child psychiatry and psychoanalysis with functional medicine and Eastern medicine, ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP), archetypal psychology and trauma work, shamanism, energy healing, homeopathy and spiritual herbalism, astrology, the Tarot, and her commitment to Sacred activism.
