The Self-Connection Podcast S2 E2 In the Here and Now with Victor Yalom The Self-Connection Podcast

Rather than having a set agenda for the podcast, Victor offered to have an open ended conversation with me and to explore and learn together, which was very exciting for me. Since the podcast is about connection it was fitting for us to explore topics related to psychotherapy as the content that served as the context for learning about and with each other. 

I experienced Victor as very generous , earnest and supportive conversational partner. There were some touching moments particularly when he reflected on the gifts he received from his mentor, James Bugental. Upon hearing the podcast during editing, I found myself appreciating the mutual energy of gratitude we both had for our respective mentors. Victor helped model some of the concepts we discussed by going into his experience and sharing vulnerably about himself.
