Darkness is Golden, with Mary Hoang Not So Linear
-
- Salute mentale
Mary Hoang is a psychologist who thinks creatively about what makes humans lead more meaningful lives. She is founder of the mental health organisation 'The Indigo Project' and is tearing down the walls of traditional psychology.
After her fathers death in 2017, Mary turned to art and writing to explore how the darker aspects of life hold the keys to insight and purpose. Losing him was her life changing moment, which she so beautifully documents in her book ‘Darkness is Golden’ and explores alongside us how we can deal with life’s messiness.
We talk about:
Mary's background and why she set up a progressive therapy practiceWhy we have to give uncomfortable feelings space, rather than supressing themLosing her Father and how it shifted her lens on lifeGrief & funerals in Asian cultureDeath mediationThe concept of the 'Inner child' and how we must learn to meet our needsHow all types of grief are valid, such as loss of career, relationship or health etcThe monsters in our haunted houseMary's experience of breaking down whilst writing the bookManaging anxiety
If you are interested in reading more about her work, you can find her organisation here: www.theindigoproject.com.au and her instagram @maryhoangindigo
