Many survivors of severe psychological trauma suffer from a diverse set of troubling emotions that are compounded by harrowing behavioral conditions. And too often, the impact takes a destructive toll on lives. When identified, the condition of post-traumatic stress (PTS) is usually thought of / talked about / diagnosed as a “disorder.” That’s unfortunate and it’s incorrect. Brain, Hope, Reality: PTSI not PTSD, a new podcast by Dr. Eugene Lipov, shines a light on a relatively new understanding that connects the mental and emotional struggles of post-traumatic stress (PTS) to a biological change — one that is observable and measurable in the brains of survivors. And yes, it’s treatable! Throughout the series, you can expect to hear from patients that Dr. Lipov cares for, trauma experts, and even some insights from the world of neuroscience — all presented in an easily digestible, non-clinical way. Stay tuned!

Women’s coach Laisa Sol joins Dr. Lipov to explore healing through movement, breath, and self-discovery—and why mental health should never be a last resort.

In this soul-centered episode of Brain Hope Reality, Dr. Eugene Lipov welcomes international women’s coach and retreat leader Laisa Sol (https://www.instagram.com/laisa_sol/ ) for a deeply personal conversation about healing, embodiment, and feminine resilience. Known for her work creating Women’s Circle Retreats in Bali, Miami, Brazil, and beyond, Sol shares her belief that physical, emotional, and energetic healing are deeply interconnected. Drawing from her background in somatic coaching, inner child work, and active meditation practices rooted in white tantra, Sol emphasizes the power of breath, stillness, movement, and community to help women reconnect with their authentic selves.

Together, she and Dr. Lipov reflect on the biology of trauma, the need to reframe PTSD as PTSI (Post-Traumatic Stress Injury), and the dangers of suppressing mental distress—both for the individual and for the immune system. Sol speaks candidly about how her own heartbreak led her to start healing circles for women, offering spaces where emotional release is not only safe but sacred. The episode concludes with a calming guided breath meditation and a call to remember that trauma may shape us, but it does not have to define us. Hope, after all, is always within reach—and sometimes, all it takes is one deep breath.
