DEPTH Work: A Holistic Mental Health Podcast

41. Hearing Voices, Empath Struggles, and Healing intergenerational Trauma with Psychic Therapist Brittany Quagan


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “going crazy,” heard voices, or had strange and unusual experiences, you’re not alone. My guest today, Brittany Quagan, a therapist and psychic medium is ultra familiar with all things “spooky” - both in terms of trauma and spirituality. We discuss what it’s like to struggle as an empath, with anxiety, depression, and suicidality as a young adult. We also discuss coming out of the broom closet while working in traditional mental health systems and some pretty amazing research on how to control experiences that most of the clinical world would describe as “psychosis”.

Also in this episode:

  • managing & honoring deep feelings and your empathic nature even as it may be rooted in trauma responses and hypervigilence
  • grappling with suicidality and hearing voices
  • ancestral trauma passed down in our bodies
  • parts work and tracing the origin of unhealed wounds
  • cognitive dissonance as a psychologist working in the system
  • research on voice hearing in a spiritual vs clinical context - the importance of normalization and community
  • Brittany Quagan is a licensed therapist, intuitive healer, and psychic/medium. Brittany is no stranger to the effects of trauma; the imprint it leaves in our body, how it colors the way we see the world, and the ways in which it leaves us riddled with anxiety, negative thoughts, and a heaviness that feels impossible to break free from. Her own healing journey is what brought her  to do this profound healing work with her clients for over a decade now. Brittany guides her clients on an exploration of self, to understand the many parts of ourselves to help us heal, and to create a future full of empowerment.
