I loved how much you put of your own thoughts in there and your own challenges and what you learned from every session really there's a lot of reflection I thought that made it really different. It was so much more in fiction to read than if it was just their stories with you as a more detached presence. Did you always know that you'd put so much of your own so much of yourself in there to enrich these stories? Absolutely I'm really happy that that comes across because I think one of the things I really wanted to get across was this more relational embodied way of working.
This week on the Penguin Podcast, Isy Suttie talks to author and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, Maxine Mei-Fung Chung. Maxine joins us to discuss her latest book, What Women Want, an intimate examination of female desire.
The two also discuss the importance of making time for yourself, the impulse to keep busy for fear we may break down, why many of our coping mechanisms are developed in childhood, and why eye contact is essential when sharing intimate information.
