Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith  What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself… but finally feeling yourself? In this deeply moving episode of Your Healing Playground, I sit down with hypnotist, veteran, and transformational guide Rick Marren to explore what happens when a man walks through the darkness of PTSD and discovers not only how to heal himself—but how to help others reconnect to themselves as well. Rick’s journey is extraordinary: From child… to soldier… to veteran carrying invisible wounds… to a man who learned how to sit in silence, feel deeply, and transform pain into presence. Together, we explore: ✨ PTSD and nervous system healing ✨ Hypnosis and subconscious transformation ✨ The power of safety, touch, witnessing, and connection ✨ Sexual energy, emotional alchemy, and the “orgasmic arc” ✨ Why humans are more than identities, diagnoses, or labels ✨ How healing happens in relationship—not isolation This conversation goes beyond traditional medicine and into what I call Medicine 3.0: Not “name it to tame it.” Not even just “feel it to heal it.” But “collaborate to liberate.” Because healing is not a solo sport. Rick embodies something rare: strength without armor. Presence without performance. A grounded masculine energy that creates safety for others to finally feel what they have spent years avoiding. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves, numb, lonely, shut down, over-armored, or stuck in survival mode. You are not broken. You are human. And perhaps your body has been waiting for safety long enough to finally let you feel alive again. 🎧 Coming soon on Your Healing Playground with Dr. Tina Plays Most of us have had an experience of laying in bed next to someone we love and feeling a million miles away. Rick Marren helps people bridge the gap and develop real connections. Known for aligning the nervous system with what his clients genuinely want, but find just out of reach, Rick combines neuroscience, behavioral analysis, and hypnosis to take people from longing and loneliness into feeling the depths of real connection in their bones. For more than a decade, and with deep gratitude, Rick has woven his own methods in with tools and techniques from respected mentors to accomplish his life’s mission: to help people deeply connect.  His inspiration comes from nature, contact improvisation dance, and the beauty of the subconscious mind, where he discovered the wonder of connection without words. Leaning into each moment as a vision of something new, echoing into right now, every session brings a sense of awareness and transformation that sticks in a way the conscious mind would create on its own, if it only knew how.
