A Different Kind of Psychiatry

Intelligent and fascinating, this podcast opens you to a deep perception and understanding of life

This Podcast does a great job of describing how a teenager with deep emotional problems was helped by Medical Orgone Therapy. The episode talks about the therapist “meeting the patient where they are”, which to me means that the therapist accepts whatever the patient feels and says as a means of making deep emotional contact with the patient. I am amazed at how this therapeutic approach can have such deep and long-lasting positive impact on people. I Iook forward to hearing all the podcasts in this series.

I was moved by this interview and particularly by Dr Burritt’s explanation how focusing on and accepting feelings vs projecting them onto others or turning them on oneself is essential for emotional health. Otherwise one can confuse reality and/or cause distress and lack of contact with those around oneself.

When I need a break from podcasts that seem deep but end up going nowhere or pundits ranting into the microphone, I come here. Because, in a world that makes increasingly less and less sense, here is a podcast that explores the fundamental motivations behind people and there relationship to each other and to the world. And that’s what it’s all about, folks. Thankfully, I always come away with a sense of calm owing to the realization that it is POSSIBLE for the world to make sense again someday. There is hope!
