With a doctorate in Chinese medicine, a background in functional medicine, and newly certified as a hypnotherapist in New York, Patricia brings a unique and profound perspective on health, healing, and the mind-body connection.

Nora Bateson - Ecology of Integrative Health from a Systemic Perspective

This Episode is a Replay
In today’s episode, we revisit a conversation with Nora Bateson, President of the International Bateson Institute, about how systemic understanding is essential for grasping the depth of Integrative Health—both on an individual level and in a broader context.
This episode was originally recorded in the fall of 2020.
Nora, originally from California, now resides in Sweden. Her father, Gregory Bateson, is considered the father of systemic understanding as applied to living systems. In this episode, Nora builds on her father’s teachings, taking them to a new level.
She explains what systemic understanding of living systems entails and how we need to expand our perspective beyond the strictly scientific by embracing greater complexity to achieve something more vital.
With her gentle and nuanced approach, Nora highlights how the dominant scientific paradigms and explanatory models are no longer sufficient in these rapidly changing times.

Advokat Madeleine Onnela - Rättsväsendet och barnet - en balansakt

I det här avsnittet möter vi Madeleine Onnela — advokat, innehavare av Advokatbyrån Onnela och en stark röst för våldsutsatta i rättssalen.
Madeleine arbetar främst med brottmål, familjerätt och socialrätt, med en särskild spetskompetens inom våld i nära relationer.
Vi pratar om rättsväsendets utmaningar i att hantera de mest komplexa familjerättsprocesserna, där våld, manipulation och osynliga trauman ofta döljs bakom juridiska termer och formella förfaranden.
Madeleine delar sin insikt om varför rättssystemet behöver bli bättre på att ta in specialister, exempelvis psykoterapeuter, familjeterapeuter, barnpsykologer, för att skapa en mer rättvis och träffsäker grund för beslut som påverkar barns och föräldrars liv på djupet.
Vi belyser också den svåra verkligheten när rättssalen i sig kan bli en arena för eftervåld — när den fulla bilden saknas och förövaren fortsätter att utöva makt genom systemet.
Det här är ett viktigt samtal om gränslandet mellan juridik och psykologi — och en uppmaning till att våga samarbeta över yrkesgränser för att skydda de mest utsatta.

Daniel Cramne - Trauma, kriminalitet och vägen vidare, Avsnitt 2

Välkommen till det andra av två avsnitt där vi på allvar närmar oss det mänskliga i det mest sårbara.

Samtalet leds av psykoterapeut och poddvärd Leena Källqvist, tillsammans med psykoterapeut Daniel Cremonini.
Tillsammans möter vi dagens gäst – Daniel Cramne – vars djupt berörande livsberättelse tar oss från en barndom präglad av våld, övergrepp och övergivenhet, genom år av kriminalitet och destruktiva mönster, till ett avgörande uppvaknande.
Eftersom båda männen i samtalet heter Daniel, kommer vi att kalla dem vid efternamn – Cramne och Cremo.
Cramne har idag vänt sin smärta till en kraftfull drivkraft, och reser runt i Sverige för att föreläsa om hur trauma präglar våra liv – och hur förändring faktiskt är möjlig, även när vägen dit ser helt omöjlig ut.
Det här är mer än en personlig berättelse. Det är en ärlig och skarp inblick i de system som ofta brister – och en undersökning av vad som faktiskt krävs för att läka det som gått sönder.
Cramne och Cremo känner varandra sedan tidigare, vilket märks i det öppna, närvarande och respektfulla samtalet som följer.
