Above Ground Podcast #193: The Human Factor

Carl Jung suggests we learn the theories and modalities but not forget that, in the end, we are dealing with human beings. All the stuff that comes between us in a therapeutic setting, especially between client and provider, can work against the Human Factor. What’s a peer to do? 

Welcome to Episode 193 of Above Ground Podcast. This week, the guys discuss the conundrum of dealing with humans in the mental health world. Be it peers, professionals, or the dreaded self-anointed know-it-alls. 

It’s clear that in 2023 our human capacities have been taxed beyond what many of us ever believed. The engineering of social media and algorithms has dissected connection and our views of ourselves. This has led us to feel untrusting, unloved, and often unlovable.
