“...consistently cringe-worthy material whenever these three speak on topics to do with gender or sexuality. Race is a topic that they seem to avoid.
I have been listening to this podcast for a few years and I love the dream interpretations and as an avid reader of Jungian psychology, I find this podcast to be accessible and insightful for the most part. Certain episodes, like the Shadow episode and Persona episode are phenomenal. However, these three could stand to take a modern multicultural seminar or something. They’re very dismissive and reinforcing of binaries when it comes to gender or sexuality and race is usually a topic that is glossed over in most episodes. They project their experiences with clients (a small sample of people who are frequently experiencing acute distress and thus seeking therapeutic help) as a reliable sample to speculate upon and it’s disappointing to see Jungian analysts make this common rookie mistake. They try to insert disclaimers like “speaking from my experience as a counselor, which I know is a small sample...” or the like but they still knowingly misrepresent minorities or people with alternative lifestyles. They often attribute the distress that their clients feel as a result of being oppressed to the internal “complex” they think the client has /because/ of their identity. It’s just really disappointing to see these very thoughtful, experienced, and often very open-minded analysts fall into the same judgmental perspectives that have tainted the field of psychology since the days of Freud.”

“…if you found it by virtue of being interested in Jungian analysis. This is three people chatting on serious topics without any special qualification to do so. In other words, their collective knowledge levels amount to 100% pure speculation and get especially disturbing when they enter the realm...”Read full review »

“In a culture that generally shuns the inner life, dreams and symbols as irrational and non productive, these three amazing humans make a space for the inner life. Their wisdom and company is priceless.”
