Integrative psychiatrist and neuroscientist Helen Lavretsky explores the intersection of spirituality and neuroscience--utilizing both to optimize spiritual and mental health. She shows that the evolution of the Soul is the purpose of life. Drawing on the latest research and examples from her clinical practice, Lavretsky helps you know and embody your Soul--a union that provides inner guidance, peace, balance, happiness, and an opportunity to reach your highest potential.

Lavretsky aims to put the psyche (soul) back into psychology, using a proven methodology. She offers a combined approach of psychological and mind-body practices that enable you to control reactive behavior and reconnect with higher Consciousness. She gives guidance on how to navigate challenges and spiritual emergencies, such as the Dark Night of the Soul, with enhanced intuitive abilities and clarity.

With clinical examples and practical exercises, Lavretsky shows how you can transform negative thoughts and feelings into a sense of excitement and curiosity. This will increase your ability to reduce stress, regulate negative emotions, improve your brain health, and cultivate gratitude, compassion, and joy by living a truly authentic life.

Living from the Soul allows us to incorporate the neuroscience of spiritual awakening into our lives to alleviate depression and anxiety, enhance resilience, and gain a consistent sense of serenity and well-being.
