The Pete Isaia Podcast #17 What is positive masculinity?
On today's episode I have an incredibly enticing and diverse conversation surrounding domestic violence and relationship dynamics with Jane Enter, an incredibly knowledgeable and regarded psychologist.
Jane has a Bachelor of Arts in English, Psychology, and Law, and an honors degree in Psychology. She’s a member of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists and the Australian Association of Buddhist Counselors and Psychotherapists. She sits on two boards; The Buttery in NSW and the Governance Board of an emerging psychedelics rehabilitation treatment. She has also previously sat on the Federal government advisory body for the prevention of youth suicide and the federal government advisory body of drug and alcohol treatment recommendations. She has been the clinical director for three high-end rehabilitation centres, including the world's most prestigious; The Sanctuary in Byron Bay.
We begin this episode by reflecting on when we first met years ago at The Sanctuary, I was working as a nurse and Jane a clinical director. As experts in our respective fields, we discuss therapeutic modalities and the importance of quality relationships between the clinician and the client.
Jane and I highlight where we are going wrong as a society when it comes to minimising cases of domestic violence, offering progressive methods to address the situation. Jane explains why she believes in early education as an approach to prevention, encouraging that we build a strong foundation of conflict resolution and self-regulation skills in our youth. She recalls the main contributors causing people to become violent in their relationships, listing personal factors and addressing ways in which society has been quietly contributing to harmful behaviors.
We consider how gender plays a part in abusive relationships, defining what gender roles are, and explaining what roles we all should be taking on.
I think everyone will gain some insights from this information-packed episode!
