My guest is licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Hillary Goldsher with a private practice in Beverly Hills, California. Dr. Goldsher’s areas of expertise include trauma and grief, depression, anxiety, eating disorders and relationship counseling. Additionally, she specializes in the arena of maternal mental health—helping women and their families cope with miscarriages/stillbirths, postpartum depression and parenting/couple challenges post birth.
On this podcast we discuss her late term miscarriage while on vacation and how her personal journey of pregnancy loss has solidified her commitment to improving mental health outcomes for women who have suffered from pregnancy losses of any kind as well as supporting women going through assisted reproductive technology (IVF).
Dr. Goldsher believes that healing comes from a willingness to deeply experience, explore, and feel one’s emotions that are related to both present and past circumstances. Unexamined feelings can often lead to unwanted or painful symptoms. The process of understanding one’s feelings and emotions allows one to grieve. Grieving allows for the purging of emotions which creates space for new, more positive emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Furthermore, Dr. Goldsher believes that therapy is not magic, but rather a process that requires work, commitment, and faith. Change often comes "as a whisper rather than as a thunder bolt". However, Dr. Goldsher believes it is the slow, steady changes that lead to sustained changes.
Dr. Goldsher also has a MBA from the prestigious Kellogg School of Management from Northwestern University and worked for over 10 years at a Fortune 500 medical supply corporation. After a decade in the business world, she began her pursuit of a doctorate in clinical psychology.
