Here I speak with two friends who have been instrumental to my therapy (and life) praxis - philosopher & writer, Daniel L. Garner (of O.G. Rose), and psychotherapy practitioner & trainer, Johannes Kieding (links to their channels below). We explore topics intersecting psychoanalytically-informed therapy, encountering difference, anxiety, and systems that might support the courage to face pain and challenge in the service of relationship and intimacy (not an easy task). We cover a little of Hume, Goethe, Tillich, Leibniz, among others... chapter markers below.
