What do we do when we encounter resistance—within ourselves, in our relationships, or in the creative process? And could discord actually have something important to teach us? In this episode, Kathleen Wiley and Deborah Henson-Conant explore the emotional and creative tension that arises when things don't flow smoothly. From musical dissonance to personal conflict, they unpack how resistance can challenge us, shape us, and sometimes even guide us toward transformation. Discord is often something we try to avoid or resolve quickly—but in music and in life, tension can create movement, depth, and meaning. This conversation looks at how discomfort, friction, and uncertainty may actually be essential parts of growth and expression. Rather than seeing resistance as failure, what if we learned to listen to it differently? In this episode, you'll discover: Why resistance often appears during periods of growth The creative role of discord and tension in music and life How discomfort can reveal deeper truths and emotions Ways to work with resistance instead of against it How conflict and contrast can lead to transformation and clarity Join two harp players—a Jungian psychoanalyst and a composer/performer—for a thoughtful conversation about music, psychology, and life. 🕘 Live at 9:15-ish EST on most Fridays 🎧 Watch and listen: JungAtHarp.com
