Mind & Matter’s Post

🎧 Recently, I wanted to better understand psychoanalysis and psychodynamic theory, seeking to expand my understanding beyond the confines of Freudian ideology – an exploration often sidelined during my undergraduate psychology program. 🔍 Amidst my conquest, I stumbled upon a podcast episode on Spotify that shattered misconceptions and shed new light on this intriguing field. Here are the key takeaways that have profoundly impacted my perspective: 1️⃣ Psychoanalysis/Psychodynamic ≠ Freud: While Freud undoubtedly laid the foundation, it's imperative to recognize that the field extends far beyond his pioneering work. It's a dynamic realm encompassing diverse theories and perspectives, each contributing to a richer tapestry of understanding human psyche. 2️⃣ Beyond Technique, Embrace Perspective: Contrary to popular belief, employing psychoanalysis isn't merely a set of techniques to be executed in a session. It's a profound shift in perception – a lens through which we interpret and engage with our patients, delving into the intricate layers of their psyche. 3️⃣ Embracing Resistance: In the therapeutic journey, resistance isn't merely an obstacle to overcome; it's a powerful tool for introspection and growth. When addressed adeptly, it has the potential to foster profound breakthroughs and strengthen the therapeutic bond, leading to deeper insights and transformative change. 💡 This podcast episode served as a great clarification dispelling myths and illuminating the nuances of psychoanalytic practice. It's a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of psychology and the endless avenues for exploration and growth. 👂🏼 Have you encountered any podcasts or resources that reshaped your understanding of a particular subject? I'd love to hear about your insights and experiences!

In today's fast-paced world, change is the only constant. Yet, how do we truly understand, manage, and channel the emotions that accompany transformations, both personal and organizational? Whether you're an individual seeking personal growth, or a leader aiming to steer an organization, understanding the emotional dimensions of change can be a game-changer. Dr. Hilary Jacobs Hendel is a prominent psychotherapist and author. Driven by her personal experiences with anxiety and depression, Hilary embarked on a journey into psychotherapy. Her profound insights into emotions, coupled with her unique approach to therapy, has been an eye-opener for many. Hilary ventures into her experiences and the pivotal role of Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) in her practice. In this episode, Hilary reads 2 pages from Diana Fosha’s The Transforming Power of Affect: A Model for Accelerated Change, and discusses strategies to better navigate the emotional tides of change.

Did your former Psychotherapist know that YOUR MIND IS NOT YOUR BRAIN?🤔 Much as the human mind has been explored and discussed, it is yet to be DISCOVERED IN THE LABORATORY or revealed through scientific experimentation. It is something that not even the world’s best scientists, doctors, historians, or philosophers can give, for their finest explanations of the mind are speculatory at best. That’s because the MIND is an INTANGIBLE, SPIRITUAL ENTITY. Here's the truest definition of the mind you'll ever find; "The mind is the faculty of man’s reasoning and thoughts. It holds the power of imagination, recognition, and appreciation, and is responsible for processing feelings and emotions, resulting in attitudes and actions."🌴 Yes, you're welcome!😊 #thepowerofyourmind #mentalhealth #leadership #counselingpsychology #psychotherapy #GideonOlah
