Working Out The Inside: The Myths, Truths, and Essential Work of Psychotherapy Andrew Nargolwala

Welcome back to the Working Out the Inside podcast--episode 20--Codependence No More.  We look at why codependence does not just mean being dependent on someone, how it's not just a term used in addiction work but in any kind of relationship work, and how we can have healthier relationships when we recognize and eliminate it.

Could psychotherapy before such an incident help prevent future victims? What are the dangers of diagnosing someone at a distance?

Welcome back to the Working Out The Inside podcast. This is episode 16: Psychopaths, Sociopaths, Anti-Social Behavior, and Consequence in Psychotherapy. Some of the issues discussed include what is the difference between psychopaths and sociopaths, are psychopaths and sociopaths born that way or created over time, how is anti-social behavior a different category, why is psychotherapy contraindicated with psychopaths, was Tony Soprano a psychopath or just a good family man, and why is certainty of consequence an underrated aspect of dealing with deviant behavior--whether in psychotherapy or other forms of treatment?

Welcome back!  Some of the issues discussed in episode 15--what is the difference between solitude and isolation?  Are we born to be social creatures, as we hear so often?  How do we achieve a healthy balance between being alone and being with others?  How is unconditional self-love different from narcissism?  Is self-love an endless excuse for bad behavior?
