Emunah and the Human Potential with Dr. Yossi Shafer

In this week's episode we had the honor, to host the fascinating and remarkable Dr. Yossi Shafer, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist with a multi-specialty practice in Lakewood, NJ. Today, we discuss Dr. Schafer’s past as a talmid of Reb Asher Arieli and other great rabbanim, and how this strong foundation set the backdrop for his future career in a lesser-approached field in mental health. (A hint? Connection.) We dive into the heart of his work, where Dr. Schafer tells us about the ties between Torah and psychology, how we have the potential to heal within ourselves, and how the idea of we are children of G-d, and “Bnei Malachim,” is a mindset that finds its place in Torah, emunah and human behavior. Lastly, he reveals the number one marker of success that a patient will do well. There’s so much to gain, here.
