In the debut episode of The Sorted Mind, Ottawa-based clinical psychologist Dr. Rana Pishva introduces a powerful metaphor: the messy closet. Just like Monica Geller’s hidden chaos in Friends, many of us carry internal clutter—unresolved trauma, beliefs, and emotional debris we’d rather ignore. Dr. Pishva explores how therapy helps us gently unpack, sort, and rewrite these disordered narratives. With compassion and clinical insight, this episode explains why the stories we tell ourselves matter more than the events themselves—and how we can move toward clarity and coherence.
Topics covered: trauma as a response, disorganized narratives, the power of coherent storytelling, and tips for beginning your own healing journey.
