Living in A Spiritual World – Therapy Online Series: Ep. 8

Today, a conversation with Dr. Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco about living in the spiritual world. I’m Richard Lloyd Jones.

It was the Police back in the early ’80s that approached the subject of us being spirits in a material world. A typically spare and rhythm driven track that was catchy and infectious. They were an interesting band.

But, while they were observing the bleak political situation we lived in, it may have been no more than the complaining of youth searching for an answer but with no solutions to offer.

After all, criticism is not change, is it?

I remember back in that time going through my own social protest period, writing anti-nuke radio ads and joining numerous environmental groups in the naive belief that made me part of the solution, not part of the problem.

I’m much more sophisticated about social change today, recognizing that the evil we accuse the system of power of resides in us all. And especially more cognizant that there’s a formidable spiritual influence on top of us constantly. And most of us have no idea about that. So let’s dive into that spiritual wisdom.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – Therapy Online Series: Ep. 4

Our latest podcast initiative is an attempt to create a forum for people to call or write with critical recent or long-standing issues they’ve never been able to adequately resolve and move on from.

Those habits or patterns of response you’ve never fully understood. You know there’s something unresolved moving below the surface that’s affecting your health or relationships or professional performance – or sometimes, all three – and you just can’t get a handle on, and so they operate invisibly in your life.

We’re here to help you with that. In a safe and anonymous way. Dr. Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco will lead you through a psychoanalytical process that touches into those roadblocks and helps free you up. Real therapy that doesn’t gloss over or offer pat formulas.

Let’s join Dr. Pacheco in her online therapy session today – an important one, treating an issue that needs treatment.

Agoraphobia – Therapy Online Series: Ep. 3

Are there any of us completely free of what happened in our upbringing? I was joking with Dr. Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco after the therapy session you’re about to listen to about how I was relating to today’s client. She’s dealing with fear of judgment, and I can relate to that feeling of pressure in social situations. 

As Dr. Pacheco will discuss today, there’s a lot of internalization that we do of the demanding and censoring environment we grew up in that’s at play here. The brilliance of the Integral Psychoanalysis we use here in our Therapy Online Series is how we are brought to see how that has become a demanding nature that we’ve continued in our lives.

So we’re not stuck in that victim posture of being only a product of what happened to us, but a continuation. Something we now do to ourselves mostly unconsciously.

It’s fascinating stuff, as you’re about to hear with Dr. Pacheco and today’s client.
