In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Man: A Quest to Find Meaning, James sits down with psychotherapist and shamanic practitioner Mark Hashimi to explore how true healing happens when we go beneath the surface—and how ancient wisdom and modern therapy can work hand-in-hand to help us rewrite the unconscious scripts we’ve carried since childhood.

Mark shares his own journey through trauma, burnout, and addiction, and how psychotherapy helped him understand his inner world while shamanism reconnected him with something deeper: the soul. Together, they explore the emerging field of psycho-shamanic therapy—a fusion of psychology and energy medicine that acknowledges both mind and spirit.

You’ll learn:

• 🧠 How trauma fragments the psyche and soul—and how to gently reintegrate.
• ✍️ Why our childhood “scripts” run the show—until we become conscious enough to rewrite them.
• 🌀 The difference between therapy and shamanism—and why both are needed for true transformation.
• 👁️ How EMDR helps process trauma by mimicking the brain’s natural REM cycles.
• 🕯️ Why daily ritual, dance, and nature are powerful tools for grounding, healing, and reconnection.
• 🐺 What it means to “rewild” yourself in a world that’s disconnected from spirit.
• 🌿 How intention + presence = healing, even in the smallest of practices.
• 💔 Why relationships are our greatest mirrors—both for pain and for growth.
• 🧬 That healing is possible, even after addiction, collapse, or years of emotional suppression.

This episode is for anyone navigating burnout, heartbreak, spiritual awakening, or deep personal growth. Mark’s message is clear: healing is possible—and it often begins by listening to the quiet whisper within.
