Their conversation reveals Dr. T’s thoughts and the purpose behind his study in a very honest way.The discussion Dr. T and the Truth Fairy have through the course of the interview weaves through topics of psychedelics and manifestations, relationship with one’s body, the burden placed on therapists, schema therapy, Dr. T’s term of “embeddedness”, and beyond. This is a revealing discussion between friends that opens up truly fascinating things to ponder.“That speaks to that aspect of embeddedness which is that we're embedded in a natural environment, and that our system mirrors and reflects the systems around us as well, like the shell and the inner ear and also just the biology of ourselves. You look at a plant cell, you look at a human cell, and there is a lot of similarity there. There's some uniqueness, but we share a common ancestry with all life on earth, and we are so, so connected.” -  Dr. TResources discussed in this episode:Dr. Dan SiegelAntonio Damasio---Punk Therapy: website |email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
