If It's Hysterical, It's Historical: The Liberating Power of Understanding Your Past | Dr. Orna Guralnik

If It's Hysterical, It's Historical: The Liberating Power of Understanding Your Past | Dr. Orna Guralnik

On psychoanalysis, which we haven't talked about much on this show.

Dr. Orna Guralnik is a psychoanalyst and writer. Her writing centers on the intersection of psychoanalysis, dissociation, and cultural studies. She has completed the filming of several seasons of the docu-series Couples Therapy.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The relationship between happiness and truth
  • How to cultivate love from within
  • Practices to support us in being more open-minded (to avoid what she calls a "splitting" mindset)
  • Trans-generational history, and how it impacts our personal lives and relationships (in other words, how the ghosts of your ancestors operate in you now)
  • One single, powerful question to ask yourself when you get annoyed
  • The overlap between Buddhism and psychoanalysis
