Joan Peters on Untangling for Deep Healing: How Psychoanalysis Changed My Life

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, my guest Joan Peters - an author, writer, and scholar, tells her truly remarkable story.Born in New York City, Joan earned her Ph.D. in literature from the University of Chicago and went on to become a professor of literature and writing at California State University Channel Islands, where she is now professor emeritus. Joan joins us to talk about her newest and most personal work, Untangling — a candid memoir that pulls back the curtain on one of the most mysterious and transformative forms of therapy: psychoanalysis. Few patients have ever written openly about their analytic journeys, and even fewer with the courage, clarity, and literary depth that Joan brings. In this episode, we explore how psychoanalysis helped Joan navigate the hidden forces shaping her life, what ultimately inspired her to share her experience publicly in her memoir, and why she believes this multi-layered therapeutic process has the power to change lives.Please welcome the brilliant and deeply insightful Joan Peters.CONNECT WITH JOAN:Her new book is Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. EMAIL: [email protected]:  https://www.joankpeters.comResources: https://apsa.org/about-psychoanalysis/Download my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling GreatIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!
