Episode 180 Multidimensional Psychiatry & Water Healing: Interview With Elizabeth Nguyen

What is Multidimensional Psychiatry and how can this integrative approach to mental health help your overall well-being? How can water healing be brought into your mental health practice to provide physical and spiritual healing?MEET Elizabeth NguyenElizabeth Nguyen, MD was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her parents were refugees from Vietnam who arrived in Honolulu in 1975 at the end of the Vietnam War. She received her BA from Stanford University in Human Biology, her MD from Northwestern University, and her Psychiatry Residency and Child Psychiatry Fellowship training at UC Davis. She started her career in community mental health, with specific interests in cross-cultural psychiatry, the intersection of spirituality and mental health, and the healing power of water and the natural world. She is currently in private practice in Davis, CA where she incorporates energy healing into her psychiatry work. She recently published her first novel Aloha Vietnam about a Vietnamese American family navigating cross-cultural issues in mental health treatment and recovery. Of the inspiration behind and the intention for Aloha Vietnam, Elizabeth says: "There is so much trauma and healing in the human ancestral lineages, and water, art, and storytelling help us in becoming whole and natural again." Find out more at Multidimensional Psychiatry, and connect with Elizabeth on Instagram and FacebookWater Keepers CommunityAloha VietnamIN THIS PODCAST:Multidimensional psychiatry vs. traditional psychiatry 7:23What is water healing? 8:40Restoring your own water flow 14:10Multidimensional Psychiatry Vs.
