About this Episode
Dr. Jodie NewDelman shares her evolution from a hard-science neuropsychology background at UCLA studying autism genetics to embracing a more integrated biopsychosocial-spiritual model of care. We examine:
• The limitations of purely symptom-based psychiatric models
• ADHD and neurodivergence as neurotypes, not simply disorders
• Trauma as both psychological and somatic — and how it presents as chronic pain, fibromyalgia-like symptoms, digestive disorders, and “mystery” illnesses
• The Quadri-Entity framework (cognitive, emotional, physical, spiritual) and how imbalance across these domains manifests as dysregulation
• Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as a non-specific amplifier that accelerates subconscious material to the surface
• Why preparation, safety, and integration are non-negotiable in psychedelic work
• Transference and countertransference as essential considerations in altered states
• The difference between being “fixed” and reclaiming agency
This episode invites listeners to examine whether their current healing path is addressing root causes — or merely suppressing symptoms.
• Nervous system regulation
