    Between Psychology and Spirituality | Natasha Swerdloff

    Michael Imas speaks with Natasha Swerdloff, President of the 3PGC, psychotherapist and author, about a controversial idea: that psychological suffering has a single cause, and that understanding it changes everything.Together, we examine whether this claim holds up under scrutiny, where mainstream psychology may fall short, and how the Three Principles relate to — or clash with — philosophy of mind, ethics, and contemporary models of psychotherapy. Can mental health really be understood without techniques, diagnoses, or long-term intervention? And how do you distinguish genuine insight from a comforting belief?SPONSORI'm so grateful to The Listening World Summit 2026 for sponsoring this video.
