[Episode 57 of the Intentional Clinician Podcast]
In this episode of The Intentional Clinician Podcast, Andrew Henry MA LPC and Paul Krauss MA LPC begin a series of discussions related to Intuition, Stoicism, and the Present Moment, focusing on how they intersect with the practice of Psychotherapy. Paul and Andrew elaborate on the philosophy of Stoicism, Reality Therapy, ways to enhance your meditation or mindfulness practice, and methods for getting more out of psychotherapy.
Andrew discusses the power of the unconscious intuitive mind, and how it can help a person better understand themselves, and those around them. As Andrew stated, “All people are born with a powerful ally: the unconscious and intuitive mind.” Tapping into this vital internal resource is as important as knowing the route to your next destination. Andrew discusses the history of Stoicism and how this philosophy can help us decrease our anxiety and be more present. Andrew also discusses personal responsibility, noting that being grounded in the “now” can help a person in their journey. Additionally, Andrew discusses the concept of cynicism and how our greatest learning opportunities can come from painful experiences. Andrew also discusses his first book and some exercises in dialectics that people can do from their home.
