In the aftermath of October 7, when so much was shattered, Dr. Lia Naor helped build something extraordinary. Within days, she and a small group of colleagues created what became known as the Healing Space in Rishpon, a volunteer-run trauma center that has since cared for more than 20,000 people, offering over 60,000 hours of therapy in dozens of healing modalities. It became a living sanctuary for survivors, evacuees, and therapists — a place where people could gather, breathe, and slowly return to themselves. Lia Naor is a clinical psychologist, researcher, and national representative of the International Ecopsychology Society. Her work stands at the intersection of psychology, nature, ritual, and community, exploring how the land itself can become a partner in recovery and how belonging and connection to place can help restore what trauma has torn apart. This conversation is about the deep ecology of healing: how we root ourselves again in life after devastation, how beauty and grief can coexist, and how acts of care, both human and ecological, become quiet forms of resistance. ✨ Subscribe to RAW wherever you listen to podcasts, and join the mailing list at WithAnouk.com for new episodes, reflections, and meditations.
When the hostages came home, Israel exhaled - but only for a moment. Because what comes after survival is its own kind of reckoning. In this conversation, clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst Iris Gavrieli Rahabi reflects on the unseen work of healing after collective trauma. A member of the Israel Psychoanalytic Society and longtime teacher in Human Spirit — a psychoanalytic–Buddhist training program that bridges Western depth psychology and Eastern contemplative practice — Iris has dedicated her career to understanding the meeting point between psyche, suffering, and compassion. She is also the co-founder of First Line Med, a volunteer network that has provided long-term, free therapy to survivors of the October 7 attacks, to bereaved families, and to those who returned from captivity. We talk about what it means to accompany others through devastation - when the cameras are gone and the quiet grief begins. How psychoanalysis and Buddhism meet in tenderness and truth-telling. And how healing, both individual and collective, asks us to stay present to the unbearable - without turning away. ✨ Subscribe to RAW wherever you listen to podcasts — and join the mailing list at WithAnouk.com for new episodes, reflections, and meditations.
Nearly two years since October 7, 2023, we are still learning to live with uncertainty — the shock, fear, and endurance that have shaped these years. In this gentle, grounding meditation, Anouk invites you to pause: to breathe with what is unresolved, to soften around what hurts, and to open — carefully — to the quiet possibility of hope. This isn’t about forced optimism, but about resting in truth and finding steadiness within it.

What does it mean to meet conflict—not with reactivity or avoidance—but with presence, clarity, and a willingness to go deeper? In this episode of RAW, Anouk sits down with therapist and conflict facilitator Gary Reiss and Aikido teacher and meditation guide Miles Kessler—two longtime friends who bring decades of experience in trauma healing, martial arts, and group facilitation. Gary shares insights from his work in Israel and the Palestinian territories, including collaborations with trauma experts on both sides. Drawing from Process-Oriented Psychology, he explores how we can access the wisdom hidden within personal and collective tension—even, and especially, in heartbreaking times. Miles brings the perspective of Aikido, a martial art rooted in harmony and non-resistance, and how its philosophy can help us engage conflict with grounded strength rather than force. Recorded during Gary’s recent visit to Tel Aviv, where the two were leading joint events, this conversation invites us to reflect on what it means to respond—not react—in the midst of profound uncertainty.

Dr. Rick Hanson is one of the most respected voices in psychology—a New York Times bestselling author, Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, and a world-renowned teacher of emotional healing and resilience. His groundbreaking work blends neuroscience, mindfulness, and practical tools for inner transformation. In this urgent and intimate conversation, recorded as Iranian missile barrages rained over Israel, Dr. Hanson speaks about what happens to the brain and body under constant threat—and how we can stay steady, compassionate, and connected when everything around us feels unsafe. We talk about intergenerational trauma, the science of epigenetics, and how moments of connection—even in war—can begin to rewire the nervous system toward healing. He also shares simple, research-backed practices for calming the body, supporting children while feeling afraid ourselves, and staying open-hearted in a time of sirens, shelters, and sorrow. This episode was recorded at home, without studio equipment, during a period of lockdown. My voice is hoarse, my kids were nearby, and the audio is imperfect—but the conversation is deeply human, generous, and needed. If you’ve been feeling frayed, frightened, or overwhelmed—this conversation is for you. 🎧 Listen & Subscribe: 📌 Apple Podcasts 📌 Spotify 📌 YouTube 📩 Subscribe to my newsletter: www.WithAnouk.com 📸 Follow on Instagram
