Clinical Conversation

Guest: Jamie Marich, PhD
On-Demand: This conversation was recorded on August 6th, 2025.

Burnout isn’t just about being tired, it’s soul-deep. And if you’re a therapist right now, chances are you know exactly what we mean.

You’re holding space for others while trying to make sense of the world yourself. You’re navigating moral injury, systemic failure, and that nagging voice wondering, Does any of this even matter?

This isn’t just another self-care talk.

This is a conversation about spiritual nourishment, whatever that looks like for you. Maybe traditional religion doesn’t resonate. Maybe it never did. That’s okay. We’re exploring how to connect to purpose, meaning, and inner steadiness without the baggage.

Dr. Jamie Marich (she/they) inspires people and systems to heal the wounds that keep them stuck, allowing for authentic transformation free of shame and stigma. A TEDx speaker, clinical trauma specialist, expressive artist, lay spiritual director, short filmmaker, Reiki master, yoga teacher, and recovery advocate, she unites all of these elements in her mission to redefine therapy. She is a woman in long-term recovery from an addictive disorder and lives with dissociative identities. As a queer woman who survived multiple spiritually abusive experiences in childhood and adulthood, Jamie is passionate about helping people to recognize where religion and spirituality may be causing harm in their lives so that they can chart a course for personalized healing.
