#24 | The Trivium & Empathetic Reasoning: Critical Thinking, Truth Discovery & Character Development enabling real Self emPOWERment - How to Spot Delusion, Distortion & Manipulation | Nathan Martin

My guest today is Nathan Martin! He co-created an integrative methodology called the Unity Process, which combines the philosophy of Natural Law, the Trivium Method, Socratic Questioning, Jungian shadow work, and Meridian Tapping—into an easy to use system that allows people to process their emotional upsets, work through trauma, correct poor thinking, discover meaning, set healthy boundaries, refine their viewpoints, and to achieve a positive focus.

This epic conversation is not only a deep dive into the 3 pillars of the Trivium: grammar/knowledge, logic/understanding and rhetoric/wisdom, but also into the foundation of critical thinking, truth finding & character development enabling real Self empowerment:
