Topic: The Middle Passage
Dr. James Hollis, author, analyst, and Former Executive Director of the Jung Center of Houston, talks about re-examining your life during mid life. Dr. Hollis uses his background as an analyst and an author whose writings have discussed life's middle passage and how we redefine our lives and eventually find meaning through those mid life crisis we often face. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
You are responsible for your life whether you grow up or not, but growing up requires a lot more than simply taking responsibility for it. In my experience, it is difficult to truly understand Jungian theory until life experience has forced you to realize that you are really not in control and begin to accept the parts of yourself you would rather not see or reveal to others.
I learn again and again from Dr. James Hollis. Thank you to Patricia Gras for this engaging and enlightening interview.
He’s absolutely brilliant.
A beautiful story about introspection and a search of meaning to life.
Thank you very much for this presentation Dr. James Hollis. I have four of your books so far and find Jungian psychology and the journey with the shadow self very captivating.
Excellent conversation, and Dr. Hollis is brilliant. Patricia you're very good!
Thanks for this- lots of food for thought, will be sharing with my social work students.
Smart .... Smart .... Very Smart ! ..... Thank You Again ..... Dr. Hollis!
Growing up means I am responsible for my life.
Sun Mabel only wen presented with TRUE unbiased choice so we not tricked into them.wrong ways
Awesome!
If you ever want to adult romantic relationship explained in full, read Hollis' "The Eden Project." Great stuff.
What age is middle age.....it's portrayed as 50s 60s but who lives until 120?
@yourtubegaz are you kidding me?!? please give an example where he has done this. i've read hollis extensively have never read (or heard) him doing this. if anything, he has eloquently explained the psychology behind the motivation to have an affair. but he has not "excused" or condoned it...
Don't find any answers here, sounds like a corporate interview, very elegant conversation for professional people who play golf, tired of same fine restaurants and fancy living crisis. Maybe buy a new Bentley for your wife and Ferrari for your son.
Go together to Europe and send pictures to your friends so they can say "such a loving couple",
I see no suffering at all, the real crisis is the society we living now, who you are valued for your success wealth not who you are.
This is a crises for people who wake up with all comfort in life and they go to shopping center for a coffee and think whats missing in their life, more sex ?, losing weight ?. This is Only Observing Life from a Bubble without seeing the planet in the real moment. Rome is falling apart, and people are worried about mental dilemmas in their our culture.
This is good for domesticated minds, "educated consumers", as long you have AC and credit card, food in the market, people think about non sense mental diarrhea. The hole planet is about to change soon, but you guy are thinking which is a good best seller so you can start a conversation in the next fancy party.
You are living in your own materialistic Bubble . Anther coffee darling ? Next therapy is after your Pilates class.
Have you actually read any of his books?
you don't need to agree with anyone,
Im not an educated consumer, Im not domesticated either, don't need to read to get the picture.
A waist of time.
Frank Weiss II just once i wud like to see one of these insulated whitebreads get outta that tame PBS coffeetable environment and be compelled to dispense COGENT relevant dialogue that isnt prepackaged for only a priveleged mostly caucasian middle class , it wud be interesting to see him try and go deep in the hood and convince the rest of us....or any other poorer neighborhood outside the u.s. and apply these sheltered assertions of probably unintentional, intellectual dishonesty; fuck a book u waste enuf on merchandising, donate that money to a real charity or go take that money n buy a homeless person from the 2 train (or a lady n her kids) a decent dinner ... one more less hypothetical good/bad quandary to worry bout
Kinematics. Yes, the setting was tailored to a specific niche, but don't let that noise distract from the signal. You projected a lot of class resentment in your post. Not judging, just observing.
Being born into poverty is not a choice, staying in poverty is an insidious pathology that affects many of us. Trust me, I know what unconstrained class resentment feels like.
Instead of projecting resentment, only to repeat the personal myth over & over - What if you could discover why you're projecting resentment, how it is affecting your life and most importantly how to rewrite your myth?
If my post strikes a cord with you on any level, *(especially if it infuriates you.)* then I can't recommend Dr. Hollis enough. He has several TH-cam lectures far more helpful than this interview, they're free and much better than any traditional therapy methods I've paid a small fortune for.
I sincerely wish you well.
KINEMATICS I do believe that the Jungians have this specific shadow. However of all the schools of psychology I find it one of the most profound in that the process can address deeply routed trauma.
And yet to get certified in Jungian psychology across the globe costs big bucks, so this cycle of elitism perpetuates.
There are other psychologists that you might respond better to like Viktor Frankl who was in a concentration camp, or Rollo May who worked in American ghettos.
I think the Jungians go very deep but then become comfortable monks with some exceptions.
........ Does Living Smart ....... Really Mean ..... Not Needing to Ask ..... the Age Old Question ..... "Where is Your "Emotional Fidelity" ...... in Your "Emotional Infidelity"??
