   #81 – Timeless Therapy

   Think clinical psychology is a modern invention? Think again. Long before functional MRIs and therapist couches, four historical giants had already mapped our emotions with surgical precision. In this episode, we break down how Spinoza’s emotional engineering, the Buddha’s silence, Socrates’s questioning, and Rumi’s radical hospitality laid the exact foundations for our modern therapies. A fascinating, dense, and deeply practical journey to help you stop running from your dark parts, and start welcoming them in.
