On psychoanalysis, which we haven’t talked about much on this show.

Dr. Orna Guralnik is a psychoanalyst and writer. Her writing centers on the intersection of psychoanalysis, dissociation, and cultural studies. She has completed the filming of several seasons of the docu-series Couples Therapy.

In this episode we talk about:

The relationship between happiness and truth
How to cultivate love from within
Practices to support us in being more open-minded (to avoid what she calls a “splitting” mindset)
Trans-generational history, and how it impacts our personal lives and relationships (in other words, how the ghosts of your ancestors operate in you now)
One single, powerful question to ask yourself when you get annoyed
The overlap between Buddhism and psychoanalysis
