Ben: We have to be careful of the messaging we give out because if we're just reinforcing that then why wouldn't they just go down that road like you were saying Ben. recognizing the way that this is written and shown is so important, he says. "When the self is ascribed to someone else it is weak because it's not real" i think Frodo had to choose between shooting golem in the pool or having fair mirror force him into an impossible situation where he had to choose. When Smiegel's ability to be himself is placed just on one person when that person fails him it opens the door for golem to come back in and say i told you so mhm
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.
