Anne and Alison talk with Dr. Claudia Luiz,  a New York-based psychoanalyst about the nature of mental illness, emotion dysregulation, trauma, and how normal feelings can make us sick. Claudia makes complex mental health topics accessible and conversational. This conversation is not to be missed. You will feel less alone in your crazy world after hearing Claudia's vulnerabilities and wisdom. 

Dr. Claudia Luiz, a clinical psychoanalyst, is the first-place winner of the 2006 Phyllis Meadow Award for Excellence in Psychoanalytic Writing; a 2008 Writer’s Digest Award; and is an NAAP 2019 Gradiva Award nominee.  Her book, “The Making of a Psychoanalyst” (Routledge, 2019) was reviewed in the Journal of Modern Psychoanalysis as “arguably the best lay book written on modern psychoanalysis,” and at New Books in Psychoanalysis as “poised to create a seismic shift in consciousness.”  Dr. Luiz practices in New York, and teaches at the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and the Academy for Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis.
