Interview with Wil “Wize” Otero
Stuck in My Mind Podcast
September 23, 2025
Wil “Wize” Otero is a podcaster, life coach, and CEO of Real Wize Global Media. Based in Pennsylvania, he hosts the Stuck in My Mind Podcast, where he explores mindset, personal growth, and resilience. Born in East New York, Brooklyn, Wize turned to podcasting after personal losses—including his wife and close family members—as a way to heal and inspire others to overcome adversity.
In this Stuck in My Mind Podcast interview hosted by Wize Otero, Dr. Brian Alman—a global authority on the unconscious mind and trauma healing—shares insights from his 25+ years helping people resolve stress and emotional pain through his ACE Treatment Solution and mind-body techniques.
Alman explains that most people live with unresolved trauma and stress stored in the unconscious mind. Traditional therapy often fails because it tries to suppress negativity, while his approach focuses on accepting and integrating the inner critic, perfectionism, and emotional pain. He describes a three-level process: moving through the conscious, subconscious, and unconscious to reach one’s “inner doctor” or true sage, the source of self-healing and wisdom.
Drawing from his own experience overcoming chronic back pain and decades of work with Kaiser Permanente and ACE co-founder Dr. Vincent Felitti, Alman demonstrates how engaging the unconscious mind can produce dramatic recoveries. He emphasizes experiential learning—deep emotional work done safely through guided sessions, meditation, and self-reflection—as key to lasting transformation.
He concludes with optimism: anyone can tap into their inner healing power to improve mental, physical, and emotional health. Healing, he says, begins by befriending the parts of ourselves we’ve long rejected.
