About this listen

Maddison sits down with Dr. Eva Benmeleh a clinical psychologist blending Western training with spiritual and energetic practices. Together we explore how her journey with perfectionism, parts work, spirituality, meditation, plant medicine/psychedelics and travel have continued to inform both her persona healing journey and transform how she supports and interacts with clients.

What We Cover:

• Eva’s personal story: clinical training, postpartum depression, divorce and the turning point.

• Why Western psychology can miss the energetic/subconscious pieces.

• The PIE method: perceive the pattern, integrate the new material, embody the change.

• Parts work and neutralising energetic charge (working with inner critics, protectors, perfectionist parts).

• Psychedelics / plant medicine: powerful, visceral experiences and the importance of long-term integration.

• Meditation and somatic practices as daily integration tools.

• Narcissism, perfectionism, and relational dynamics: mirroring, co-creation and accountability.

• Kabbalah, Hindu/Vedic parallels, and Eva’s pilgrimage to India spiritual practices that reawaken memory and belonging.
