In this episode of Bonded, Dr. Patty and Lizzie open up about their recent journey to Brazil for the Wild Women Amazon Reiki Retreat. They explore how safety, attachment, and trauma healing are supported not only through evidence-based psychology—but also through energy work, group connection, and nature-based experiences.

Using powerful metaphors from the natural world, Patty and Lizzie discuss how true growth and healing can only happen when we feel safe—when the “soil” of our inner world is rich enough to allow new branches of transformation to grow.

Conversation Highlights:

• The intersection of evidence-based therapy and energy healing
• Lessons and insights from their Amazon retreat experience
• How group work fosters safety and co-regulation
• The vital role of self-compassion and mindfulness in trauma healing
• Why integrating science and spirit offers deeper whole-healing
