    Depression- a portal to soul work

    Depression is often talked about from a biological, psychological and pathological perspective. However, there are deeper levels or more subtle layers of depression that usually remain undiscovered. Depth psychology helps us to dig deeper into the underlying, deeper causes of depression. This framework doesn’t just provide us with temporary reliefs or symptom palliation, but it will lead us to uncover the meaning and the purpose of our dark nights of the soul.  On this episode, we have explored depression from a soul-oriented perspective. Could depression be a gateway into the greater passages that our soul intends us to go through? Or as our guest- Thomas Moore- suggests in his New York times best seller book ‘care of the soul’: could depression be a gift?  About the Guest:  Thomas Moore is the author of the number one New York Times bestseller ‘Care of the Soul’. Thomas Moore has written thirty other books about bringing soul to different aspects of our lives; including our relationships and culture, deepening spirituality, humanizing medicine, finding meaningful work, and doing religion in a fresh way. He has been a psychotherapist for over forty years .In his work, Thomas Moore brings together spirituality, mythology, depth psychology and the arts. In his youth, he was a Catholic monk and studied music composition. He has a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Syracuse University and has been a university professor for a number of years.  His work has helped many people around the world to live more meaningful and soulful lives.

    Understanding Narcissism

    This episode helps us gain a deeper understanding of Narcissism, and its roots. Narcissist people are often heavily shamed and bashed in the mainstream media, however this conversation invites us to develop a slightly different outlook on narcissism. Narcissism is often the result of certain kinds of challenges rooted in childhood and like all the other psychological issues, it requires understanding, healing and empathy more than shame. We will be looking at this concept on an individual level, as a personality trait and a personality disorder,  how it can manifest in relationships, what personality types are more attracted to narcissists and who we become within a relationship with narcissistic people. We will also be looking at how narcissism as a personality trait, can manifest in society and its impacts on the collective level. About the Guest: Katarina K Valentini is a licensed, qualified integrative-relational psychotherapist, psychotherapist trainer, a life coach, and a yoga and meditation teacher. She specializes in narcissistic and borderline disorders but is also qualified to work with clients experiencing other psychological problems. She is the author of a book on narcissism called: "My Narcissist and I. How to Find Happiness." She works in a private practice where she provides therapies and counseling to individuals, couples and groups, and organizes personal development workshops and training as well. In her work, she integrates traditional psychotherapy techniques with other techniques and methods such as Brainspotting, EMDR, and Mindfulness. As an integrative-relational therapist she focuses on the therapeutic alliance between the therapist and the client, and tailors the therapeutic approach to each individual.
