This week on ShmueliCast🎙️, we sit down with Dr. Yossi Twersky — psychologist and mental health expert — for a calm, grounded conversation about mental health, therapy, and how people actually deal with inner struggles today.
We speak honestly about the growing focus on mental health and the doubts many people have about whether today’s approaches truly address real human needs. We discuss how previous generations handled emotional challenges without the systems and language used today, and what has shifted in the way people understand themselves and their struggles.
Dr. Twersky also shares about his upbringing as a Rebbishe Einikel, and how that background shaped his perspective on life, responsibility, and emotional strength. From there, we explore why so many people today struggle internally, what may have contributed to this shift, and how trauma has shaped the Jewish experience across generations.
We also speak openly about trauma — where it comes from, how it affects a person long-term, and whether someone can truly heal or only learn how to live with it. The conversation touches on the rise in suicide, why this has become more present in modern times, and what may be missing in how people are taught to face life’s difficulties.
