Jeffrey van Leeuwen Podcast#46 - Psychotherapist: Rethinking Autism, Education, and Mindfulness | Michael OstrolenkAt nine, Michael Ostrolenk refused a psychiatrist’s quick-fix, walked out, and followed a different map: guided imagery, biofeedback, meditation, and martial arts. That choice shaped everything. Years later, a brutal one-two of loss during an MBA program forced a pivot into transpersonal and somatic psychology, coaching, and a decade building programs with SEALFIT. In this conversation, Michael traces the line from a mislabeled “learning disabled” kid to a clinician and coach who helps people regulate their nervous systems, deepen relationships, and live with agency.

O SOMBRIONAUTAMORTE DOS MITOS - GODZILLA MINUS ONE [FILME] (2023)O imperialismo moderno de modo geral sempre pregou a morte honrada. Quem questionou isso em certa medida foi SILVIA FEDERICI (1942), ao discutir em seus escritos que as mulheres não passavam, literalmente, de fábricas de armas para o Irmão-Capitalismo.
