“This really is the full motivation for my having written the memoir. I want people to know what the process is like; not only what the process is like but what the feelings are that don't really make you think of psychoanalysis as a way of changing your life. We're just living and hoping that things will change without really taking account of the fact that we could be living better lives and in a better way. I began to think of the ways of the world and the wickedness in it. There's so many things that we do to keep us going - me and my aphrodisiacs, and I think other people doing other things just to divert them from the misery and unhappiness that they feel.  I don't know how often that's looked at or discussed, so I hope the book does open that up a little bit.”  Episode Description: We begin with Beverly's description of her early years of feeling lost and the consequent self-destructive patterns she replayed. Years of sensation-seeking led her to become "exhausted, limp, tarnished, and each time, more profoundly lost." She "landed on an analyst's couch in Little Venice, a section of London. I was paying for someone to recognize me. She did." Beverly shares her analytic journey with us and how vital her discovery of 'kindness' was, first from the outside and then from within. We discuss the early death of her father, her mother's depression and the devotion of her older brother.  She closes with "Like life, psychoanalysis is a continuing process. It doesn't stop...issues crop up, new feelings arise...we better understand what those feelings are telling us, and how to make use of them in an environment we have been able to choose for ourselves. And so it goes…"   Our Guest:  Beverly Kolsky, MSW has worked as a psychotherapist for more than forty years both in America and in England.  She trained as a psychoanalyst with the New York Institute for Psychoanalytic Self Psychology also and received training in London where she worked under the auspices of the Tavistock Clinic and the Institute of Marital Studies. Her work has been published in two journals:  Mind Consiliums and Voices: Art and Science of Psychotherapy. She had two psychoanalytic experiences in two countries with analysts of two different orientations. Her motivation for writing the book as a memoir was to let others in the community know the transformative and enduring power of psychoanalysis. She was in private practice in Englewood, N.J. and now lives, mostly retired, in the northern Adirondacks.   Recommended Readings: Jung, C.G. 1963. Memories, Dreams, Reflections.

In today's story we explore what it's like to be on the autistic spectrum, and more specifically, how a later life diagnosis can totally change the way you view the world and yourself. Aurelie, our storyteller today,  was an autism expert, a clinical psychologist who had trained with some of the premier autism experts in the country…yet she didn't discover her own autism until she was 40 years old. This episode explores why women on the spectrum are so often missed, how women on the autistic spectrum are so often masters of masking, which means imitating the mannerisms and behaviors of neurotypical people, thus allowing them to both fit in and also to be left hiding in plain sight. Support the show! https://www.buzzsprout.com/396871/supportDr. Aurelie Welterlinhttps://www.ncawag.net/our-team/dr-aurelie-welterlin"I Love You, I Hate You, Are You My Mom?"  An intensive experiential workshop exploring transference with Dr. H and Dr. Hillary McBride, Feb 4th-6th 2026 in Joshua Tree, CA https://www.craigheacockmd.com/i-love-you-i-hate-you-are-you-my-mom/BFTA episode recommendations/Podcast pagehttps://www.craigheacockmd.com/podcast-page/Support the show

Warum lächelt sie obwohl sie gerade belästigt wird? Warum kooperieren Opfer bei Geiselnahmen oder Kidnapping? Warum bleiben manche Menschen viel zu lange in gewaltvollen Beziehungen? Das sind Fragen, die in der Forschung zu Coping, Traumareaktionen und Gewaltbeziehungen seit Jahren diskutiert werden und wir wollen das Ganze mal für euch einordnen. Diese Podcastfolge beleuchtet die psychologischen Überlebensstrategien, die in akuten und dauerhaften Gewaltsituationen greifen: von Appeasement-Strategien und dem viel diskutierten Fawning bis hin zum komplexen Phänomen des Trauma Bondings. **Quellen:** Bailey, B. et al.

Logic Mr. Spock-Grandpa Bill and monthly guest, Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst Byron Athene, will tackle the letter L: Logic. After exploring 'Knowledge,' they dive into the crucial difference between the perfect rules of Formal Logic (how we ought to think) and the messy, emotional terrain of Psychological Logic (how we actually think). Byron will explore the historical rift between logic and psychology (Psychologism), the "illogical" rules governing the Unconscious Mind (Freud), and how Cognitive Biases become a client's own faulty internal 'logic.' Tune in to learn how to map your own mind's reasoning and distinguish emotional truth from objective validity.Grandpa Bill Asks:"Formal vs. Emotional": Do you more often accept a conclusion because it logically follows from the premises, or because it feels emotionally comfortable or familiar?

Send us a text"I was born and raised in San Diego in a supportive multicultural family. As a curious and introverted kid, I became intensely interested in people and the human condition and, partly inspired by my older sister, gravitated toward psychology as a way of making sense of my world.This interest took me around the globe and led me through the fields of philosophy, history, theology, neuroscience, and music. Through my travels and studies, I gained extensive experience and knowledge but came to understand the shortcomings of the human intellect. Inspired to investigate more profound existential and spiritual matters, I practiced Paramahansa Yogananda's Kriya Yoga meditation techniques, became a Certified Raja Energy Healer, engaged in my own therapeutic explorations, and discovered my calling as a counselor."www.EliRecht.comResources:www.SoulAwakenignStore.comwww.claudiumurgan.comclaudiu@claudiumurgan.comhttps://spirituallyinspired.buzzsprout.comSubscribe for more videos! youtube.com/channel/UC6RlLkzUK_LdyRSV7DE6obQSupport the show

In this episode, Dr. David Puder is joined by OCD specialist Kevin Foss to dive deep into Real Event OCD, which is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder where real past experiences become the focus of endless rumination, guilt, and shame. Together, they unpack the symptoms, real-life examples, and how this subtype differs from PTSD, moral injury, and other forms of OCD. The discussion highlights evidence-based treatments like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and medication options, while also offering guidance for loved ones supporting someone with OCD.

Send us a textThis week on Project Weight Loss, we're talking about the powerful practice of acceptance — not as resignation, but as a way to stop fighting yourself and create space for real change. I'll share how acceptance can help you break free from perfectionism, find peace with where you are, and take values-driven action toward your goals. Plus, we'll look at research from Forman & Butryn and others showing that acceptance-based approaches actually support weight loss and emotional well-being. Quotes of the week: “Acceptance doesn't mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there is a way through it.” — Michael J. Fox, “If we can learn to welcome everything, including the difficult, knowing that this too is part of our becoming, then there is an invitation to heal, to grow, to live more fully.” — Oprah Winfrey. Citations:Forman, E.M., Butryn, M.L., et al.

Frank Gruba-McCallister is a clinical psychologist, educator, and scholar whose career spans more than three decades of teaching and academic leadership.  He served as Vice President of Academic Affairs at Adler University, where he helped to reorient the institution's mission toward training socially responsible practitioners. His leadership and curricular reforms contributed to Adler's doctoral program receiving the American Psychological Association's Board of Educational Affairs Award for Innovative Practices in Graduate Education in 2007. He has also taught at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and worked as a clinician in both medical settings and private practice. Throughout his career, Dr. Gruba-McCallister has been a steady voice at the intersection of critical psychology, humanistic and existential thought, and spiritual inquiry. He is the author of Embracing Disillusionment: Achieving Liberation Through the Demystification of Suffering, a book that examines how internalized oppression and ideological mystification compound human suffering and how healing demands a deep and sometimes painful confrontation with illusions. His newest book, Radical Healing: No Wellness Without Justice, published by University Professors Press, draws from liberation theology, critical theory, existential psychology, and transpersonal thought to explore the structural and spiritual roots of suffering. At its core is a call to restore moral responsibility, to reclaim compassion and justice as central to any meaningful model of care, and to invite those who seek to heal others to do so with humility, courage, and radical honesty. In our conversation, we discuss the origins of this work, the crises that shape our current moment, and what it might mean to envision psychotherapy as both a spiritual and political act. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

There's a lot of certainty in scientific circles about how science and religion can't go together. In fact, consensus that empirical science has made God unnecessary, and that religion, with its strange elements of faith and ritual, is irrational and harmful.If you've been listening to our series, you'll realize we don't walk down that road. While we certainly agree that superstition and fanaticism have reared their heads in religious life, we could just as easily also ascribe those unhealthy aspects to many human institutions and schools of thought.Many of the pioneers of scientific investigation, like Galileo and Kepler and Newton, were deeply religious men after all, who embarked on a study of the natural laws under the conviction it would lead to evidence of a Divine Creator of all the phenomena in nature and the universe.Faith, for them, then, was not blind, but reasoned analysis looking to understand God's Creation rather than challenge theological understanding.On faith and the Certainty of God, in our episode today.Click here to listen to this episode.

In this episode, Dr. David Puder and Mark Ruffalo dive into the history and theory of identity diffusion, from Kernberg's structural model and Gunderson's work on BPD to Akhtar's clinical descriptions. We explore how identity diffusion shows up in patients' lived experiences—feelings of emptiness, fractured self-image, lack of authenticity—and what these struggles mean for psychotherapy. You'll also hear practical insights into treatment, including empathetic confrontation, fostering continuity of self, and amplifying moments of authenticity. Whether you're a clinician, student, or simply curious about the complexities of identity, this conversation sheds light on one of the most important yet misunderstood dimensions of mental health.   By listening to this episode, you can earn 1.75 Psychiatry CME Credits.

We've been looking at the deep spiritual questions that rise in the human breast in our series. And we've been doing that through the lens of theology, which has been so dismissed, even despised, in our modern science. To our great detriment. As we'll hear in this episode, Dr. Keppe accepted his clients' questions and admissions in his practice right from the beginning, thus liberating them to talk -- and be heard. We're talking experiences with angels and demons, brushes with good and evil illustrating real influences in human lives. This openness contributed formidably to Keppe's expansive psychoanalytical vision, producing practical tools for dealing with those existential questions that come to all of us at varying moments in our lives. With Keppe's science, we manage to understand ourselves and the world we live in, which has become problematic precisely because we have not re-integrated the theological reality into our science, which is subsequently operating from a reduced, materialistic perspective because of this. This can all be liberating for all of use, then, as it was and still is for formal clients in Keppean analysis. Under the Influence of Evil, our episode this time on our Therapeutic Theology Series on the STOP Radio Network. Click here to listen to this episode.

Join hosts Dr. Tracey Guthrie, Dr. Camila Cosmo as they welcome Dr. Paul Baker, Assistant Professor and Clinician Educator at Brown University, for an enlightening discussion that demystifies psychotherapy and separates fact from fiction.What You'll Learn:

Our intention in this podcast series is to bring some consciousness about something that only a few desire knowing about: there are evil spirits organizing and guiding our lives.Already I can hear the howls of protest. I have a young teenage student from Europe who gets very agitated if anything metaphysical gets put forward as the cause of anything. Only the scientific explanations work for him, and by scientific, he of course means what he can validate through the 5 senses. However, anyone who works deeply with human beings will know that there are deeper currents running in the inner life that go beyond what we can see or touch or measure. Human beings long for a more complete explanation of man's behavior than just genetics or upbringing. In fact, the continued presence of war and persecution and cruelty demands a more complete investigation. We had a movement in a different direction at the end of the nineteenth century with the work of Sigmund Freud, who demonstrated that most of what we are lies outside our awareness and that we needed a special process to reach that part. He called this process psychoanalysis. Norberto Keppe follows in those footsteps. But he goes much further. He embraces the metaphysical in his work, thus reintroducing philosophy and spirituality back into science. A more complete science, then. One that goes beyond the merely physical to consider the deepest questions resonating in the human soul: who are we, where do we come from, and where are we going? If we exclude the spiritual influence in human society from our quest, we become puppets of a malignant spiritual world we refuse to see. It is extremely important to perceive the level of direct influence that the human being receives in his mind from the spiritual world. This can lead him to goodness or evil; which path he takes depends on his choice.  And after all, is either God and His angels who act in the human mind, or the evil spirits who do. This series is an attempt to approach these subjects. Click here to listen to this episode.

What if the person who raised you was also the one who stole your sense of self?Parents should nurture, protect and believe in you, not distort your reality, drain your self-esteem and leave wounds no one else can see.In this episode I sit down with Kathleen Saxton, psychotherapist, entrepreneur and author of My Parent the Peacock.

Abby and Patrick are joined by Dr. Josh West to talk about some remarkable developments in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy in Australia. Josh explains to Abby and Patrick how the clinical trials he describes are better understood as an experiment in sustained psychotherapy rather than just testing a new drug, and how that experiment has profound psychoanalytic and psychodynamic salience. From the process of patient preparation to the details of “dose day” to the work of subsequent sessions of “integration,” Josh walks Abby and Patrick through how he and other clinicians do their work, and how they tackle the unique demands of maintaining a holding environment, navigating transference, precipitating psychic change, and providing help to patients who are working through end of life crises, longstanding pathologies, and other kinds of profound distress. Along the way, he provides vital context about the history of lab-based psychedelic research and the (mis)appropriation of indigenous traditions while assessing the practical, ethical, and legal challenges that arise when psychedelics become objects of psychopharmacological study, routinized treatment, and corporate investment. Josh's suggestions for further reading include: Michael Pollan, How to Change Your Mind Marc B. Aixalà, Psychedelic Integration  Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life Roberto Lovato, The Gentrification of Consciousness Other sources cited include:Robert Gordon Wasson, “Seeking the Magic Mushroom,” Life Andrei Znamenski, The Beauty of the Primitive: Shamanism and the Western ImaginationHave you noticed that Freud is back?

Grandpa Bill will be discussing all of this, when Byron Athene Reknown Psychoherapist & Physchoanalyst, joins me monthly. once again joins me, next on 9/25 Propositional Knowledge: "Knowing that..." (e.g., "I know that the sky is blue.")Procedural Knowledge: "Knowing how..." (e.g., "I know how to ride a bike.")Experiential Knowledge: Gained from personal experience (e.g., "I know what it feels like to be sad."Forms of KnowledgeKnowledge isn't a single, monolithic concept. It comes in different forms that shape how we interact with the world:Propositional Knowledge: This is "knowing that" something is the case. It's the most common form of knowledge discussed in philosophy. It's declarative and can be stated as a proposition, such as "I know that grass is green" or "I know that Paris is the capital of France." It relies on facts and information.Procedural Knowledge: This is "knowing how" to do something. It's the practical, skill-based knowledge we acquire through practice and experience. Examples include "knowing how to ride a bike," "knowing how to play a musical instrument," or "knowing how to cook." You may not be able to articulate every step, but you can demonstrate the skill.Experiential Knowledge: This is gained through direct personal experience and is often tied to emotions and sensations. It's the subjective "I know what it's like" kind of knowledge. For example, "I know what it feels like to be scared" or "I know the feeling of a cold winter's day." This type of knowledge is deeply personal and can be difficult to convey to someone who hasn't shared a similar experience.#Knowledge,#Wisdom,#Learning,#Understanding,#MentalHealth,#Psychology,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#ByronAthene,#Podcast,#YouTube,#Psychotherapy,#Psychoanalysis

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Mark L. Ruffalo, M.S.W., D.Psa., a leading psychotherapist, psychoanalyst, and professor of psychiatry at the University of Central Florida and Tufts University School of Medicine. With years of clinical experience in the psychoanalytic treatment of schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and other severe mental health conditions, Mark brings a depth of understanding rarely seen in today's therapy landscape. Together, we explore the pendulum swing of psychiatry and psychotherapy—from depth-oriented, long-term psychoanalysis to surface-level symptom management and back again. Mark shares his insights into: The forgotten depths of the human psyche that modern therapy often overlooks Why schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder require more than quick-fix interventions The history and future of psychotherapy in a medicalized mental health system How psychoanalysis still offers profound tools for healing and understanding human suffering If you're a therapist, clinician, or simply curious about the intersection of psychiatry, psychoanalysis, and human depth, this episode will challenge the way you think about mental health.   Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable.

Show Notes In this episode, Simon is joined by Natalie to open up the existential questions that lie at the heart of coaching: What does it mean to live well? How do we find meaning in a finite life? How do we coach for authenticity, freedom and responsibility? Far from being bleak, existentialism is revealed here as a liberating practice. Death is not avoided but faced - giving urgency and clarity to our choices, reminding us that life is finite and must be lived meaningfully. This conversation shows how reinvention is possible at any stage of life, and how helping others can deepen our own sense of happiness and fulfillment. Together, Simon and Natalie highlight the value of micro meanings - the everyday rituals, relationships and joys that ground us in significance. They reflect on the importance of structure in supporting growth, while also recognising the liberation that comes when we accept life's pointlessness and take responsibility for creating meaning ourselves. To live authentically, we must face uncomfortable truths, resist “bad faith,” and embrace freedom with courage. Existential coaching, then, is less about problem-solving and more about opening a space where clients can explore their choices, discover what matters, and move towards a life without regrets. It speaks to the universal human pursuit of meaning, and to the possibility of finding spirituality and depth even in the midst of uncertainty. Key Reflections Coaching at its best creates space for clients to face the uncomfortable truths of freedom, choice, and responsibility. Awareness of death can deepen our sense of aliveness and urgency to live meaningfully. Micro meanings - rituals, relationships, and small daily joys - are vital in shaping a good life. Bad faith often creeps into coaching conversations, and part of the coach's role is to gently challenge it. Balancing structure and freedom is essential, both for personal growth and for effective coaching practice. Keywords existential coaching, good life, meaning, spirituality, death, personal growth, coaching psychology, self-discovery, relationships, happiness Brief Bio Dr Natalie Lancer CPsychol is a Chartered Coaching Psychologist, experienced supervisor and Former Chair of the British Psychological Society's Division of Coaching Psychology (DoCP).
