New Youtube Channel and Podcast - "Remember Your Greatness"Youtube Channel   Apple Podcasts   SpotifyMentoringIn this episode of WTF Is On My Mind?!, I sit down with Richard Grannon for a deep dive into the strange history of psychology, its blind spots, and what happens when we ignore the transpersonal, morality, and meaning.We ask the uncomfortable questions: Why did Freud’s worldview win out over Jung and Adler? What does it say about power, narcissism, and control in the human psyche? And what have we lost by pushing aside God, spirituality, and morality in the therapeutic process?This conversation weaves through:• Freud’s cult-like hold on psychoanalysis and why his ideas gained dominance• Jung’s brilliance and vagueness — and how hippies and bypassers misused him• Adler’s radical focus on responsibility and courage, and why it’s so confronting• How cult leaders twist legitimate psychological insights into tools of abuse• Why psychology struggles with replication, science envy, and false authority• The role of morality in healing trauma (and even reshaping the brain)• The dangers of abandoning spirituality after cult abuse — and what gets lost• The God question: authoritarian caricatures vs. transcendent awe• How nature, dreams, and mystical experience provide real breakthroughs• Science, uncertainty, and the humility we need to face the mystery of existenceRichard and I don’t hold back — we talk about cults, coercion, narcissism, spirituality, and the deep hunger for meaning in a postmodern world. Whether you’ve wrestled with therapy, spirituality, or the aftermath of high-control systems, this one cuts right to the bone.Support the showThe views and opinions expressed on WTF is on my Mind?! do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast or Mark Vicente.
