Dr. Sue Johnson discusses the inspirations and mantras that have shaped her approach to therapy and to life. She highlights the concept of attunement, drawing parallels with Argentine tango and musical performances by artists like Isaac Perlman and Yo Yo Ma. Sue shares her personal mantra, which is inspired by Mary Oliver's quote about making one's life count, and recounts her thoughts on a friend's Everest expeditions and the meaningful prayers of a Christian group. Her reflections culminate in the belief that what makes life worthwhile is deeply personal and essential to one's mission.
