Why Therapy?

Why Therapy?

In this episode I tell the story of deciding to become a psychotherapist. Or rather, I try to break out a little from the story I've been telling to so many people to listen a little bit into how that story resonates with myself while I'm telling it. I talk through the do's and don'ts I have found for this path until now, with curiosity about how these will evolve in the upcoming years.

Taking a step back

What worlds open up to us when we are able to take a step back? When we can see ourselves from the outside with compassion and curiosity. With a sense of humour. As the cute and funny beings we are, with our strange behaviours, with our fears, with our stumbles. With all of it.

You already know

What if the answers to the most pressing questions of our lives are inside of us? What if they have been inside of us all this time? There is no need to frantically search for guidance from outside if we trust that the deepest wisdoms for our lives already lie in the depths of our hearts.

Who am I?

In this episode I explore an apparent paradox in my experience with therapy and spirituality. Do we build up the self just so we can dissolve it again? And maybe that's just okay?

Dance with the Ego

In this episode I wonder how I arrived at starting a podcast, tell the internal struggle of actually doing so, and map intentions and directions for the podcast. The path starts with the ego (as everything does), a short detour to singing and stage fright, before taking a turn back in time to retrace the life steps that ended up here, with a podcast about my inner journey. Enjoy!
