    The Psychic Side of Psychology: Exploring Intuition, Relationships, and the Unexplained

    What if some of the relationships, experiences, and patterns we struggle to understand are revealing something deeper about ourselves? In this episode of The Pursuit — The Journey Beyond Limits, I’m joined by Rev. Dr. Leila Bamdad, founder of Psychicology® and the voice behind The Psychic Side of Psychology. With a Doctor of Psychology degree, over 10 years of clinical experience, and more than 20 years of experience in energy healing and psychic work, Leila brings a unique perspective to conversations about psychology, intuition, mediumship, symbolism, consciousness, and human relationships. We explore the connection between conscious desires and unconscious patterns, why people sometimes repeat the same relationship experiences, how to distinguish intuition from trauma, and what tarot and symbolism can reveal about our inner lives. We also discuss manifestation, synchronicities, and the fascinating questions surrounding consciousness and experiences beyond the physical. This is a thought-provoking conversation that invites you to look beyond the surface, question familiar assumptions, and reflect on what your experiences might be teaching you about yourself.
