What makes Dr. Rebecca Harvey with Total Wellness Consultants a good neighbor?

Dr. Rebecca Harvey believes that insight alone isn’t enough to heal trauma—the nervous system holds the keys to lasting change. In this episode, we trace her unexpected path from working inside federal and state prisons to building a thriving trauma-focused private practice. Along the way, Rebecca shares a core truth she’s learned through years of clinical work: understanding your past can open compassion, but regulation and safety in the body are what create real freedom.

Rebecca breaks down why so many high-functioning people still feel stuck despite years of talk therapy. She explains how trauma shows up as state, not just story, and how once-protective patterns like perfectionism, numbing, people-pleasing, and hypervigilance can quietly limit our ability to love, lead, and rest. We walk through practical tools she uses with clients—simple nervous system regulation strategies, parts-aware therapy, and integration practices that help transform insight into stable, embodied change.

We also explore her expanding work with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy in Colorado, where legal frameworks now allow carefully supervised care. Rebecca outlines who may benefit, why preparation and integration matter more than the peak experience itself, and how this modality can catalyze progress when traditional approaches plateau. Along the way, we touch on the power of word-of-mouth referrals, the subtle social signals that reflect genuine healing, and the personal rituals—travel, fitness, and lifelong learning—that keep her grounded and effective.

If you’re ready to move beyond understanding why patterns exist and start changing how your body responds to life, this conversation offers a clear, humane path forward rooted in safety, compassion, and sustainable growth.
