In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Rathika Marsh, aka The Spiritual Psychologist, whose work bridges psychology, spirituality, and embodied healing. With over 17 years of experience, she left behind a traditional psychology career to create her own transformational framework, helping people step into radical responsibility, faith, and freedom.We dive into her spiritual awakening journey, what it means to take ownership of your life, and the healing power of rituals and identity. From her experiences of growing up Tamil and embracing Carnatic vocals, to the moment she walked away from clinical psychology, Rathika shares her wisdom on how healing differs from therapy, why synchronicity matters, and the importance of not carrying what no longer serves us.This conversation touches on radical truth-telling, faith, cultural identity, women’s cycles, and the courage to trust yourself, even when it means crumbling everything you thought you knew.(00:00) Introduction(02:45) Rathika's spiritual awakening journey(12:12) - Taking radical responsibility of one’s own life(14:09) - On Tamil identity and rituals(17:45) - I’ve taken up carnatic vocals(19:19) - On quitting traditional psychology to start the Spiritual Psychologist(22:00) - What is healing and how is it different to therapy?(28:15) - Having unwavering faith in something(30:30) - We carry so much around without putting it down(40:32) - Dr. Rathika’s offerings and upcoming retreat(51:58) - What does Dr. Rathika have strong game in?Find Dr. Rathika's work on: https://thespiritualpsychologist.co.uk/
