One Quiet Voice

Dr. Amra Stafford
One Quiet Voice

I'm a clinical psychologist and natural intuitive -- spirituality and psychology are how I make sense of the world! My goal with this podcast is to empower people to hear their own quiet voices and put that guidance into action for positive change. Through solo episodes, essays, and occasional guests, I'll focus on topics such as boundary setting, maintaining authority over your own life choices, listening to your inner voice, common trends in my psychotherapy work, how to navigate turbulent times, and more! This podcast is not meant to diagnose any condition and is not a substitute for actual psychotherapy. If you need help finding and choosing a therapist, I've written about that!: https://www.dramrastafford.com/blog/how-to-choose-a-therapist

    How My 'Failure' Changed The World: The Power of Sensitivity, Writing, and Synchronicity

    In this episode, I discuss synchronicity, or "meaningful coincidence," and how much you matter, even if you don't know it! I read from my essay, "How My 'Failure' Changed The World: The Power of Sensitivity, Writing, and Synchronicity."  If you enjoy this podcast, please leave a positive review so others can find it! Some resources for depression: The 988 Lifeline is “a national network of local crisis centers that provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the United States.” Simply dial 988 from any phone. As a psychologist, I obviously believe in the power of psychotherapy! You can read my article on how to find therapist for additional resources and considerations. NAMI “works to educate, support, advocate, listen and lead to improve the lives of people with mental illness and their loved ones.” This podcast is not a replacement for actual psychotherapy. It is intended to inspire and entertain. If you need help for depression, anxiety, trauma or anything else, see my article, "How To Choose A Therapist" for guidance. If you are in crisis, the new national, mental health emergency telephone number is 988. My website is dramrastafford.com.

    Anxiety Archetypes & "The Flowchart in Your Mind"

    In this "Soapbox Psychology" episode, I discuss anxiety and some of the "archetypes" or patterns to how people experience and use this uncomfortable emotion. If you enjoy this podcast, please leave a positive review so others can find it! If you are experiencing domestic violence or feel that you're in danger, here are some resources for safety: The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY 1-800-787-3224) is open 24/7 and is anonymous. Their website says that the hotline is for anyone involved in or concerned about abusive dynamics in a relationship: "Some people who reach out to us identify as survivors of abuse, some as concerned friends or family members, and some as abusive partners seeking to change themselves." The 988 Lifeline is "a national network of local crisis centers that provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the United States." Simply dial 988 from any phone. This podcast is not a replacement for actual psychotherapy. It is intended to inspire and entertain.
