“I’m a long-time fan of This Jungian Life. As a psychotherapist (not strictly Jungian), I gather so much great material from the podcast that enhances both my work with clients and my own inner work (which is guided by a Jungian psychoanalyst). However, I do occasionally find myself frustrated by the hosts’ slavish adherence to a Jungian point of view beyond the point of good sense. As an example, I recently had to pause Episode 332 (The Secret Life of a Woman’s Soul) because I was becoming so angry at Jospeh’s insistence that Christiana Morgan may have not really been all that unhappy about her lifetime of being stifled, subjugated, and used by the men in her life (including Jung) and by patriarchy in general. He wonders if we’re just “projecting” modern attitudes onto this 20th-Century woman (also modern, by the way). He goes on to wonder (in his breathy, soft, sensitive-guy voice) if Morgan would be unhappy about being viewed as a victim. She was a victim, Joesph. Of patriarchy. Of misogyny. Of Jung and her lover. She can be both strong and brilliant and creative and also be a victim. It’s not projection. It’s not a problem in her psyche or mine. My anger at Joseph’s gaslighting is not a matter of my own overactive animus. It’s just plain frustration with unrelenting sexism. Anyway, four stars because 80 percent of the time I don’t become enraged by the content.”

In other words, their collective knowledge levels amount to 100% pure speculation and get especially disturbing when they enter the realm...”Read full review »
