Episode notes

"Life continues to evolve around you immediately it does not stop because you had a loss everyone else and everything else continue" "I think the most stark conversation on grief and guilt that I saw in this happened telepathically between Elrond and Glodrail where they recognize that the time of the elves is ending. The light of their star that gives them their ability to be immortal and have influence over the world and be supreme beings is gone," he says. 'If you push nature too far it will be nature itself that reclaims' It's like yeah bitches like mother nature is like I've had enough the ants will go to war,' she adds.

Welcome back to the Tolkien-verse! We are diving back into the Lord of the Rings trilogy with The Two Towers. We are joined by Justine Mastin, therapist and author of Starship Therapise and The Grieving Therapist. We touch upon a variety of themes: grief and loss, ecological grief, individuation, Jung. We also discuss Internal Family Systems and how that is demonstrated via Gollum/Smeagol.
