Heal Your Roots Podcast
Do you feel stuck in patterns that you know aren't good for you, but you can't seem to stop? You might be relying on "false safety behaviors"—strategies that lower your anxiety in the moment but keep you trapped in the long run.
Welcome to the Heal Your Roots Podcast, a nervous system-based mental health show hosted by Kira Yakubov Ploshansky, LMFT and the team at Heal Your Roots Wellness. We don’t just talk about feelings; we dig into the neuroscience of why you do what you do.
Join us as we challenge the coping mechanisms that are holding you back. From high-functioning anxiety and relationship dynamics to OCD and cultural trauma, we help you identify the root of your struggles so you can build true capacity for change—not just temporary relief.
Stop reinforcing the patterns that feel safe but keep you small.
