Show notes
On psychoanalysis, which we haven't talked about much on this show.
Dr. Orna Guralnik is a psychoanalyst and writer. Her writing centers on the intersection of psychoanalysis, dissociation, and cultural studies. She has completed the filming of several seasons of the docu-series Couples Therapy.
In this episode we talk about:
- The relationship between happiness and truth
- How to cultivate love from within
- Practices to support us in being more open-minded (to avoid what she calls a "splitting" mindset)
- Trans-generational history, and how it impacts our personal lives and relationships (in other words, how the ghosts of your ancestors operate in you now)
- One single, powerful question to ask yourself when you get annoyed
- The overlap between Buddhism and psychoanalysis
