Welcome to the first episode of the new season of Dear Therapist — a podcast where psychology, somatic healing, and energy work come together to support deep, lasting transformation.

I’m Jasmin Schott Carvalheiro, a clinical psychologist, certified Somatic Experiencing trauma therapist, coach, and shamanic energy healer. After a long pause, I’m bringing this podcast back to life — and in this opening episode, I want to reintroduce myself and my work, so you can get a sense of who I am and how I support people on their healing journey.

In future episodes, we’ll dive deeper into specific topics. But this first conversation sets the foundation: why I bring together science and soul, how somatic therapy changed everything for me and my clients, and what I believe healing truly requires — especially in these intense and transformational times.

We’ll explore:

• Why somatic trauma therapy is so effective

• Why releasing trauma too fast, too strongly, or alone can recreate the conditions of the original wound

• How ancestral, collective, and energetic imprints can live in our system

• Why we need to reconnect with the body to truly heal

And at the end, we’ll do a short body scan practice together — something you can return to anytime you need grounding and reconnection.

This space is for anyone seeking clarity, truth, and depth — whether you're a therapist, coach, healer, client, or simply interested in holistic healing methods.

Thank you for being here. The new season starts now.

DEAR THERAPIST meet THE OCEAN SISTERS!

“Especially in this surfer lifestyle, when you see my life from outside and when I talk to friends and people in Germany they say: what`s your f**ing problem?! You should be happy the whole day! And I am like: no, I am not. Because I recognized that I am stil the same and what I was doing in Germany – I was taking those patterns and I was exactly transferring them to here." Julia, founder of the OCEAN SISTERS

In this episode I speak with Julia and Jaz, who founded the OCEAN SISTERS, a community in Ericeira/ Portugal bringing together likeminded people who love the ocean and the lifestyle at Portugals coast!

Can you relate to the feeling that sometimes it just seems to be TOO MUCH? To much for your body, too much for your mind, too much to handle things in a conscious and calm way and you simply feel overwhelmed?!

In the new podcast episode of DEAR THERAPIST I speak about feelings of overwhelm, the different aspects of emotional, mental, physical, energetical and spiritual overwhelm and I invite you to join me for a Body Scan Meditation in the end of the episode to ease overwhelm and feel more grounded.

Enjoy!
