In this episode of the Inner Space Project Podcast, Dr. Patti Ashley engages with Dr. Catherine Holt, a depth psychotherapist, to explore the complexities of body image, body hatred, and the intersection of behavioral and depth psychology. They discuss the symbolic meanings behind body discontent, the importance of integrating different therapeutic approaches, and the role of cultural norms in shaping our perceptions of ourselves. The conversation emphasizes the need for body neutrality and respect, the mundane nature of recovery, and the significance of mental health awareness in today's society. Dr. Holt shares valuable insights and tools for personal growth, encouraging listeners to embrace their inner space and learn from their experiences.
