The Four Basic Elements of Human Nature with Astrologer Debra Silverman

Today's special guest Debra Silverman, a psychotherapist and astrologer, has helped thousands of people, including Sting, Madonna, Aaron Rodgers, Shailene Woodley, and Danica Patrick understand their life lessons, unique purpose, strengths, and challenges based on Jungian psychology and the four elements of Water, Air, Earth, and Fire.

While there is no “one size fits all” approach, Debra has developed a unique psychological-spiritual model, combining her expertise in Esoteric (soul-centered) Astrology with her extensive education in Psychology to help those going through major life changes, especially in crisis. She custom designs her therapeutic approach to each individual, using astrology and psychology as a magical healing combination.

In her book, The Missing Element: Inspiring Compassion for the Human Condition, Debra describes human nature in a compassionate and succinct way. "We are all made of four basic elements – Water, Air, Earth, and Fire. When we’re in pain, it means these elements are out of balance in our lives. The key is to be able to discern your own personality and understand where you can strengthen the parts of your elemental nature that are out of balance."

When Debra Silverman was just 20 years old, she met an astrologer who blew her mind and changed her world forever. Debra went on to deeply study the mind and body, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology & Dance from York University and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. Her work with families, individuals, and couples has her standing out in a sea of therapists and coaches. She has taught at the internationally renowned Esalen Institute, and her work has taken her around the globe, practicing and lecturing in places like New York, Los Angeles, London, Vancouver, Seattle and Boulder, Colorado.
