SHOW #83! Season 3, Episode 14: Welcome to the disSOLViNG fear podcast!
IN THIS EPISODE, I talk with Dr. Joan Peters: a professor emerita from California State University. She recently wrote a memoir about her experience with talk therapy, and the benefits of psychoanalysis (analyzing how our childhood experiences and subconscious beliefs end up impacting our adult behavior and decisions).
This episode isn't about research and academics! It's just two "gals" talking about therapy, and one of them (Dr. Peters) just happens to be a professor with a PhD! We chat about Joan's personal experience with therapy and the many ways that psychoanalysis helped her, especially when she was in her twenties. Therapy sessions completely eliminated her recurring nightmares!
Joan's stories about her therapy journey are electric and enlightening! We take a deep dive into the benefits of therapy, and how psychoanalysis helped her make sense of (and dissolve) old childhood fears.
Share this episode with anyone in your life who is considering therapy, having sleep issues, or trying to process a past experience or trauma.

AMAZING THERAPY RESOURCES
Therapy can help so many of us shed light on our subconscious beliefs from childhood, and the emotions and perspectives that we carry around with us, as a result of our past experiences.
As the famous Swiss psychotherapist Carl Jung said: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
Fear doesn't run the she show, YOU do!
Welcome to the family.
