    Relationships and Meaning with Amy Bucciere

    In this week’s episode, I speak with Amy Bucciere, who is a therapist focused on relationships and sex therapy with a particular specialization in Imago therapy and EMDR. I really enjoyed getting the chance to explore the complexity of relationships, how the nature of relationships can change, whether the transactional lens is a useful one to assess relationships, and discussing what Imago Therapy is with Amy. We also touched on the idea that the term itself carries some baggage and it’s important to think about any connections with other people as relationships. The word isn’t just for families or partners.  Learn more about Amy here

    7. Meaning Therapy with Dr. Paul Wong

    The guest this week is Dr. Paul Wong, who is a Professor Emeritus of Trent University and President of the International Network on Personal Meaning. Paul has published across topics relating to meaning related therapies and we touch on his journey getting to the work of Viktor Frankl and logotherapy as a starting point.  We spent some time talking about how dealing with depression is not an indicator that a person is ‘broken’ or ‘flawed’ and we got into how we can best repurpose that energy and experience to something positive in the end. We also got to talk about the PURE model that Dr. Wong created and talked about Meaning Therapy and how it differs from Existential and other meaning-oriented therapies more broadly.  Here are some links to learn more about Paul and his work:  http://www.drpaulwong.com/ http://www.meaningtherapy.com/  Be well!

    6. Virtues and Happiness with Pelin Kesebir

    Welcome to On Meaning. I'm Eugene Leventhal. In this week's episode, I got to speak with Pelin Kesebir, who is a social psychologist interested in the study of happiness and virtue. She is an honorary fellow and a former assistant scientist at the Center for Healthy Minds. We started the discussion be exploring some similarities and differences between existential psychology and positive psychology before getting into virtues and wellbeing, and the role that spirituality can play in regards to well-being. Two things in particular really resonated with me from this conversation. The first was the role that the virtue of curiosity can play when it comes to finding interest in life as a whole and in terms of leading a fulfilling life. The second thing, which was just the different types of virtues we discussed, curiosity and connection are so key when it comes to well-being. To learn more about Pelin's work, check out this site.

    5. Dimensions of Meaning with Joel Vos

    In today’s episode, I spoke with Dr. Joel Vos, who is, amongst other things, a psychologist, a philosopher, and an existential therapist. We spoke about some of his research that has looked at what components go into living a meaningful life, we talk about the dimensionality of meaning, and we wrap up with some of Joel’s work in the last year looking at meaning during a global pandemic.  We also got into phenomenology a bit, which is a school of philosophy exploring consciousness and the structure of experience. Joel also laid out a few different ways to start the process of thinking about meaning in/of life. The way that he talks about the sailboat metaphor for thinking about life really stressed how much of the exploration of leading a meaningful life is a journey and not a destination.  You can learn more about Joel’s work on his website: https://joelvos.com/
