The Taproot Podcast

We felt the world had enough whispery mental wellness podcasts asking you to eat healthy and breathe deeply. We aim to be more honest and sometimes irreverent and funny about the forces that affect us all. Some episodes feel like hanging out with professional therapists at the bar after work, while others might feel like you’re listening in on a university class with professional thought leaders.We discuss creativity, intuition, trauma, and the overlap between the three in the spectrum of consciousness and the psyche. Approaching topics from a depth psychology and brain-based medicine perspective, we explore the archetypes inherent in arts, design, and mass media. We delve into neuroscience, cutting-edge trauma neurobiology, Jungian psychology, relationships, political psychology, and feature interviews with both amateurs and experts.Discover + Heal + Grow is the podcast of Taproot Therapy Collective, a complex PTSD and trauma-focused therapy practice in Birmingham, Alabama.
