What if the anxiety, burnout, or emotional pain you carry isn’t just in your mind, but stored in your body?

What happens when trauma becomes the doorway to transformation?

In this episode of the Drop the Needle Podcast, Jim Alstott sits down with trauma release practitioner Matan Cohen-Citron, who shares the powerful story of how a near-death experience changed the course of his life.

After the accident, Matan struggled with PTSD, panic attacks, and a nervous system completely out of balance. But through years of study, practice, and more than 20,000 healing sessions, he discovered how trauma lives in the body and how it can be released.

Together, Jim and Matan explore:
• The hidden trauma pattern of self-abandonment
• How emotions and stress become stored in the body
• Why traditional talk therapy often misses the body completely
• The surprising role of hypnotherapy in rewiring beliefs
• The connection between movement, music, and emotional release
• Why love and self-awareness are essential for healing

This conversation is both deeply insightful and practical for anyone interested in mental health, trauma healing, spirituality, and personal transformation.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep repeating in your life, this episode may help you understand why.

What happens when medical science meets mediumship?

In this powerful and deeply human episode of The Drop the Needle Podcast, host Jim Alstott sits down with Nick Lodato, an ICU nurse practitioner who also happens to be a gifted psychic medium.

Nick shares his extraordinary journey of discovering his intuitive and mediumistic abilities at a young age, initially mistaking them for anxiety. Through years of working in intensive care, including during COVID, Nick witnessed life, death, and the soul’s transition firsthand, offering him a rare perspective that bridges Western medicine and spiritual understanding.

Nick also opens up about his early struggles, hearing voices as a child, and finding guidance through legendary mentor Pat Longo, whose teachings continue to influence his work today. The conversation demystifies mediumship, reframes spiritual sensitivity, and invites listeners to consider that we may all be more intuitive than we realize.

As always, the episode closes with Drop the Needle’s signature music segment, where Nick shares the songs that shaped his life, healed his heart, and connected him more deeply to his purpose.

What if everything you’ve been trying to heal… is actually trying to awaken you?

What if suffering isn’t something to escape, but something sacred?

In this episode of the Drop the Needle podcast, host Jim Alstott engages in a deep conversation with Steven Twohig, who shares his journey through shadow work, childhood trauma, spirituality, and personal transformation. From working with Tony Robbins to exploring the healing power of ayahuasca, this episode dives into how unintegrated pain shapes identity, leadership, and purpose.

We explore the concept of metanoia, a profound inner shift that doesn’t just change what you do, but who you are. Steven explains how spirituality and business can coexist, why most of our thoughts are survival-based, and how music plays a vital role in healing and collective awakening.

This is a conversation about confronting the shadow, reclaiming the self, and understanding why your pain may actually be your greatest gift.
