Today’s conversation with former Clinton/Gore speechwriter Tom Rosshirt left me speechless. In his book Chasing Peace, Tom reveals how crippling anxiety and 'complicated grief' nearly destroyed him—until neuroplasticity and spirituality rewired his brain. We explore fear as the root of physical illness, dissolving self-image traps, and why embracing ALL feelings is the essence of true peace. If you’ve ever felt stuck in perfectionism, avoidance, or unexplained symptoms, this episode is your roadmap to freedom. Plus: My course for therapists on spiritually informed therapy opens soon! Join us as we bridge science and soul.TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW00:00 Tom Rosshirt & Book Intro 00:54 Health Crisis Begins 04:02 Failed Avoidance Strategy 06:27 Devastating Brain Scans 08:21 Fear = Illness Root 09:07 Neuroplasticity Discovery 12:37 Self-Image Trap Exposed 15:46 Presidential Pressure Cooker 21:48 Breakdown to Breakthrough 28:31 Spirituality & Ego Release 33:40 New Success Metrics 39:15 Dignity Index Launch 44:33 Bill Maher Case Study 54:57 Final Takeaways   TOM ROSSHIRT 📖 Chasing Peace https://shorturl.at/qXSdzhttps://shorturl.at/Mt4Bv   JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.
