"You usually want to be more compassionate with yourself because your parts because the parts evolved and succeeded because you're still here so they know that their existence is valid and purposeful" "People spend so much time rejecting emotions as weakness but i try so very hard to help them understand that trapped emotions make you weaker expressing them makes you stronger," she says. 'I think it helps us conceptualize that we still need the same amount of responses and comfort internally that we didn't we were young'

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.
