41. Why Everyone Needs Therapy (Even Zen Masters) - With Keith Martin-Smith

Zen priest, author, and developmental thinker Keith Martin-Smith returns for a dive into what happens when ancient wisdom meets modern trauma. We riff on the psychology gaps in traditional meditation, why some Buddhists need therapy more than enlightenment, and how writing a biography of a Zen master changed Keith's own practice. It's candid, occasionally irreverent, and rich with insight for anyone walking both spiritual and developmental paths.
