Mental Health Without Borders: The Global Wellness Podcast with Dr. Lindsay Frey

BONUS EPISODE: From Ukraine to Israel: A Therapist's Perspective on Trauma, War, and Hope

Dr. Lindsay Frey

Welcome to a special bonus episode of Mental Health Without Borders.
In this deeply moving conversation, we welcome back Hannah-Valeria Grishko, a psychotherapist and humanitarian whose story bridges two worlds—Ukraine and Israel—and embodies the strength and resilience of the human spirit.

Many listeners will remember Hannah-Valeria from her first appearance on the podcast, where she shared her insights on mental health and displacement. In this follow-up episode, she returns to offer an even more personal reflection on what it means to live through not one, but two wars—first in Ukraine and now in Israel.

Together, we explore the profound intersection of personal survival, professional purpose, and emotional resilience. Hannah-Valeria opens her heart and her clinical wisdom to illuminate the lived experience of war, the cost of vicarious trauma for therapists, and the grounding practices that allow her to keep caring for others amid chaos and grief.
