Dr. Dave.
Do you think transcendence might be a synonym for “aliveness”. Maslow added the transcendent level to his famous hierarchy later in life. I believe your podcast effort is your effort at being “alive” in the context of contributing to people’s understanding of therapy.
For your next step have you considered having people with similar therapies engage in a recorded discussion forum that you would moderate. There is a real need for convergence of the alphabet soup of therapies. At one time therapies carried the name of their founders. Now there is this proliferation of acronyms each representing an effort to carve out some therapeutic territory. They all look similar but divided by some idiosyncratic use of terms.
You could do something like Charlie Rose did with his brain series.
I think you would be a very effective moderator. I know it’s easier said than done because it’s hard to get interviews let alone groups of professionals together. It would be risky for professionals too. They might look bad.
Wow, too many important areas to focus on in this interview, but to me this feels like just the kind of inter/multi-disciplinary approach that our lecturers are encouraging right now. A lot of points resonated with me, and I think NARM is something I will investigate both as a patient and future clinician.
Great interview…
So I picked up his book.
What a great read! Well written. Many helpful graphics and case examples.
A brilliant synthesis of developmental psychology, psychoanalytic theory and somatic experiencing.
Lawrence is a master of bringing together “top down” and “bottom up” approaches to achieve impressive results in affect regulation and overcoming developmental trauma.
Revolutionary!
