Healing from the Root: Bridging Eastern Wisdom and Western Psychology with Amita Ghosh

Guest: Amita Ghosh, Psychologist & Integrative Mental Health Expert

 

Episode Summary:

 

In this profound episode, Ambassador Elisha sits down with the remarkable Amita Ghosh, a seasoned psychologist whose journey from India to the United States has uniquely positioned her to blend Eastern philosophy with Western psychological practice.

 

With over three decades of experience in mental health, Amita shares her evolution from working with youth to becoming a specialist in adult therapy, trauma, and couples counseling.

 

Her deep respect for Indian philosophy and holistic healing has led her to challenge the symptom-focused lens of Western psychology—advocating instead for addressing the root causes of human suffering.

 

This conversation is not only eye-opening but soul-stirring, as Amita dives into:

 

✅ Her early influences growing up in India

 

✅ Why traditional Western psychology often misses the mark

 

✅ The danger of over-diagnosing in mental health

 

✅ Her love for EMDR therapy and the transformative power of flow in healing

 

✅ How she's now helping people reconnect with ancient wisdom through retreats in India

 

Ambassador Elisha opens the episode with a powerful metaphor of the mango tree—symbolizing the fruitfulness that emerges when one invests in themselves, a metaphor beautifully fitting for Amita’s life and work.

 

Takeaway:

If you’re seeking healing beyond the surface and believe in the power of integrating mind, body, and soul, this episode is your call to deeper transformation.
