092: What Is Soul Psychology and Why It Deeply Matters with Suzi Lula

What does the soul have to do with psychology?

It turns out, quite a lot. Suzi Lula returns to Mystical Sisterhood to dive deep into the realm of soul psychology, illustrating why the soul deserves a pivotal place in conversations about healing and integration. Join us as we explore these fundamental aspects of our being, their relevance in our lives today, and how they can guide us on our paths to personal growth and transformation.


So, what is soul psychology? Suzi explains, "Soul psychology marries the essence of the soul with psychological practices. The term 'psychology' originates from 'psyche,' which originally meant the study of the soul. Over time, we've drifted from this connection, living more from the neck up, valuing academic knowledge over soulful wisdom."


The essence of soul psychology involves nurturing an intimate relationship with oneself, beyond intellectual understanding. Suzi emphasized, "True transformation begins by embracing and healing our inner selves. This journey is not just theoretical; it's experiential. It involves self-compassion, emotional understanding, and rewriting the narratives of our past."


For those interested in a deeper commitment, the next Soul Psychology Certification program begins in January 2025, with interim courses available to get acquainted with the teachings.
