Keith Martin Smith and Alexander Love explore Terry O’Fallon’s Stages model as a powerful lens for understanding how humans grow, make meaning, and relate across vastly different realities. Together, they reveal how developmental precision — not content or ideology — holds the key to deeper empathy, cultural healing, and truly integrative practice.

Cindy Wigglesworth presents spiritual intelligence (SQ) as a vital developmental line alongside physical, cognitive, and emotional intelligence, defining it as the ability to act with wisdom and compassion while maintaining inner and outer peace. Drawing on research, practical frameworks, and her SQ21 model of 21 skills, she shows how cultivating SQ transforms spirituality from abstract potential into concrete behaviors that foster wise leadership, compassionate presence, and greater collective resilience in the face of global crises.

Dr. Keith Witt and Corey deVos explore how trauma shapes the stories we tell about ourselves — and how those stories can be transformed into resilience, wisdom, and self-leadership. Drawing from developmental theory, the Enneagram, and decades of clinical experience, Keith offers a four-stage model of trauma healing rooted in radical acceptance, narrative re-patterning, and the cultivation of a compassionate “wise self.”

Corey DeVos and Dr. Keith Witt explore the turquoise dialectic—a mode of deep, integrative conversation where perspectives evolve rather than compete—touching on themes of honesty, trust, intergenerational transmission, and the ways our personal cosmologies shape reality. From the psychology of deception to the ancestral patterns we unconsciously carry, this discussion invites listeners to examine how they construct meaning, engage in dialogue, and participate in the ongoing evolution of consciousness.

This discussion unpacks the essence of integral psychotherapy, exploring how Teal and Turquoise approaches integrate all psychologies into a dynamic framework that optimizes healing and growth. With practical insights into productive self-awareness, the role of spirituality, and the interplay of life’s processes, Corey and Keith illuminate the path toward deeper wholeness and transformative relationships.

How can we become more aware of our defensive reactions as they arise? Dr. Keith Witt and Corey deVos explore the intricate world of psychological defenses, presenting them as a critical line of intelligence and development. Dr. Witt introduces his pioneering concept of an "integration of defenses" as a developmental line, illustrating how our defensive mechanisms evolve and manifest across various stages of growth.

Dr. Keith Witt and Corey deVos discuss Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, an approach developed by Richard Schwartz in the 1980s that recognizes the multiplicity of the human psyche. IFS works with the different parts of the personality to promote psychological health, wholeness, and ongoing development.

Watch as Dr. Keith and Corey explore the psychological process of splitting, revealing how awareness and regulation of these processes can lead to a more health and healing, as well as to a more integrated and resilient self. By acknowledging the nuanced nature of our emotional responses and learning to navigate them with compassion and mindfulness, we open the door to deeper self-understanding and more harmonious relationships with others.
