In this Mythic Mind Exploring the Psyche conversation, Dr. Andrew Snyder talks with licensed therapists Jeremy Kee and Tyler Finders about the value of home: roots and responsibility, the fear of committing to the wrong thing, hobbits who leave the Shire in order to save it, and C.S. Lewis’s reminder that pleasant inns are not the final destination. Topics include belonging in a shifting world, establishing versus finding home, and why home still matters psychologically and spiritually.Join us for our season of "Exploring the Psyche" at https://mythicmindfellowship.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mythic-mind--5808321/support.
Anxiety is usually treated as a disease to be eliminated. Medication and psychotherapy have their place, but what if, in our pursuit of so-called mental health, we are lobotomizing something essential to being human?In this Exploring the Psyche conversation, Andrew is joined again by licensed therapists Tyler Finders and Jeremy Key to ask what anxiety actually is. We argue that anxiety is not an impediment to agency, but a call of the human spirit to take responsibility for our choices in the moment where what has been meets what might still be.We talk about surface-level anxiety versus deeper existential anxiety, courage as every virtue at its testing point, spheres of control versus spheres of concern, and why anxiety cannot (and need not) be “cured.” It can only be answered: by reclaiming agency instead of surrendering it.If anxiety is how freedom feels, the question is not how to make it disappear, but how to let it educate us into responsibility.Join us for our season of "Exploring the Psyche" at https://mythicmindfellowship.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mythic-mind--5808321/support.
