are you going to fit in or find your path? (ft. james hollis)
Category: Health
Duration: 01:29:35

Description:

Those of us who struggle with chronic feelings of emptiness, persistent suicidal ideation and are recovering from various forms of abuse and neglect, find ourselves stuck in self-sabotaging patterns of behavior that keep us stuck in vicious life-denying cycles. Jungian analyst James Hollis’ new book is called "A Life of Meaning: Relocating Your Center of Spiritual Gravity." In it, he aims to tackle the biggest question many of us face: “what does all of this MEAN?” In this episode, James and I will discuss how you can “explore your inner architecture” by cultivating a vibrant inner life. By the end of our conversation, you will deeply understand what James means when he says, “you are what’s wanting expression through you, not what happened to you.” Our task isn’t goodness. It’s wholeness.
