It's been a pleasure having Dr. Shirin Gerayeli on the show. It’s amazing to be learning from such a strong individual who has pushed the boundaries and has has overcome many challenges to pursue her dream of becoming a jungian psychotherapist. In her discussion, she goes on to discuss why psychotherapy is so important, in conjunction, with other forms of therapy, to help each individual to connect more with the inner self or the unconscious. In essence, it’s a process to find meaning and focus to life. Dr. Gerayeli calls this individuation, or simply to become oneself.

In part 1, we go in depth into the topic of depression and its prevalence in society including the rising concerns with kids and depression especially related to social media. Moreover, we touch base on what midlife crisis might be.

In part 2, we go in depth into the topic of relationship problems and the role each partner plays in the relationship. We learn how each individual is ultimately responsible for him/herself as this ultimately shapes each person’s individual identity, which can concurrently affect the individual’s relationship with others.
