What do a silly online quiz, a 17th-century philosopher, and a neuroscience book have in common? They all helped me articulate what’s been true about my therapy approach all along. In this episode, I explore how Rationalism, Idealism, Existentialism, and Pragmatism influence the way I work with clients — and why I reject the outdated split between mind and body. We’ll dig into Descartes’ Error, The Master and His Emissary, and what it really means to treat the whole human being. If you’ve ever felt stuck in therapy that overexplained or underdelivered, this one’s for you.
