what you'll find on the show
Join Us for Discussions on Psychoanalysis, Trauma, and Love in Action
The show has grown from conversations with Dr. Bail's own students into a much wider exploration of love in action — but every episode still traces back to the same root: healing what was imprinted early.
The Science of Trauma
Conversations with researchers like epigeneticist Dr. Tracy Bale on how trauma and stress are passed down, and what the emerging science says about healing generational wounds.
Love in Action
Community leaders and nonprofit voices — Father Greg Boyle of Homeboy Industries, Amy Turk of the Downtown Women's Center, Patti Giggans of Peace Over Violence — putting love to work in Los Angeles communities.
Healing Generational Wounds
The throughline of every episode: Dr. Bail's Theory of Imprinting, and practical insight into holistic mental health, self-understanding, and breaking inherited patterns.
the paradigm's creator
Introducing Dr. Bernard Bail
Dr. Bernard W. Bail, M.D.
A psychoanalyst and WWII veteran with more than fifty years of clinical experience, Dr. Bail developed the Theory of Imprinting, tracing our emotional underpinnings back to fetal life and calling for a shift in psychoanalytic theory from a masculine to a feminine paradigm. His story is also told in the documentary And Now, Love, streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
Learn more about Dr. Bail's life & work →Each episode looks at the ways people and organizations are helping others heal, find dignity, rebuild trust, and create better outcomes for individuals, families, and future generations. Rooted in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that every life is shaped by the love and care it receives, And Now Love invites listeners into conversations about trauma, healing, community, motherhood, mental health, social impact, and what it truly means to love in action.
