How does one maintain an attitude of curiosity toward life's experiences, even (especially) when they are difficult? And how does that attitude translate to relating to current events, particularly in a hyper-partisan, judgmental, and superficial cultural moment?

Lisa Marchiano is a Jungian Analyst practicing in Philadelphia. She co-produces the podcast This Jungian Life, which takes a depth psychological approach in lively conversations about cultural currents, family dynamics, personal issues, and more.

We speak about the challenge of maintaining a psychological stance in the current cultural environment, touching especially on the issues of gender-affirmative therapy for minors, "rapid-onset gender dysphoria", and puberty blockers.

Lisa will be publishing a book in 2020, relating to motherhood as a path of individuation. She has also been published in Quillette, Areo, and Psychological Perspectives.
