The Story Behind the Episode

How to be a successful therapist by finding your “native genius” and mastering the science of transformation?

Therapy Wisdom Podcast host Brian Spielmann, founding CEO of Academy of Therapy Wisdom, a leading continuing education platform for mental health professionals, sits down with Tori Olds, a somatic and integrative therapy expert and lead teacher at Deep Eddy Psychotherapy.

In this episode, Tori shares exactly how she did it—from growing up in a household of renowned therapists to co-leading a practice that expanded to over 250 clinicians. She reveals her “unified field theory” for integrating experiential modalities like AEDP, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Coherence Therapy. Tori explains how to move beyond the “mechanic” mindset of graduate school to facilitate deep, neuroplastic change through memory reconsolidation.
