In this episode, we sit down with Monica Doyle, a psychodynamic therapist whose deep specialization in trauma, thanatology (the study of death and loss), and relational therapy brings a grounded yet expansive approach to healing. Monica works primarily with adults in Australia through her online therapy practice, which also allows her to stay globally connected while traveling between Brazil and Australia.

What we explore:

  • How Monica blends psychodynamic techniques with trauma-informed care
  • Working through grief, existential anxiety, and the complexity of loss
  • How living between two cultures (Brazil and Australia) shapes her worldview
  • Her very unusual but fascinating love for tarantulas—and what they’ve taught her about holding space for fear and fascination

Monica’s presence is as grounded as it is curious. She opens up about why therapy isn’t just about fixing pain, but about understanding it, exploring it, and even learning to live peacefully alongside it.
