🎙️ Episode Description


A New Approach to Hope and Healing for a Nation in Crisis


What if the same principles that heal broken families could also heal a broken nation? In this powerful episode of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, host Vicki Noethling sits down with Phyllis Leavitt, psychotherapist, author, and expert in healing trauma, abuse, and dysfunctional family dynamics.


Drawing from over three decades of counseling experience and her latest book America in Therapy: A New Approach to Hope and Healing for a Nation in Crisis, Phyllis shares profound insights into the root causes of America’s mental health crisis, the escalation of violence and hatred, and how family therapy principles can guide us toward unity and healing.


This episode explores:



  • Why America is facing a mental health crisis.

  • How family dynamics mirror national dysfunction.

  • The leading causes of poor mental health and violence.

  • Practical steps to break cycles of abuse, heal wounds, and restore hope.


If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late for America—or if healing is possible—this conversation will inspire you to believe in the power of change.
