Lisa Blair, PhD, is a scholar, writer, and educator whose work explores emotional intimacy, relational conflict, and romantic partnership. Her peer-reviewed research — among the first to examine the intersection of AI, digital technology, and intimacy — has been published in the International Handbook of Love (2nd edition), World Futures, and the Journal of Conscious Evolution. She holds a doctorate in Transformative Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies and is a Certified Process Work Diplomate — the Process Work Institute's highest level of clinical certification — trained under Drs. Arnold and Amy Mindell.

Drawing on 17 years of clinical practice, depth psychology, and a highly sensitive attunement to the emotional lives of the people she works with, she now focuses her teaching and private work exclusively on emotional intimacy with women and couples. She and her husband, David Bedrick, co-host In Two Deep, a podcast on emotional intimacy, conflict, and connection from a depth psychological perspective. Together they teach online and internationally, cultivating what Lisa calls sacred community — a space where depth, vulnerability, and genuine connection are central to the learning.
