In this episode I explore the connection between lacking a rite of passage and how this might contribute to psychopathic tendencies.
I often times frame this to the lens of a male, being a man myself but I feel like most, if not all of what I said applies to any gender.
Other subtopics I explore:
- Amazonian Indigenous initiations
- My personal “rite of passages”
- Military service as a rite of passage
- War and physical/ emotional absence
- Veterans and mental health/addiction
- Shame/rejection and psychopaths
- Sublimation of desires
- The need for healthy containment
- Role models for troubled youths
- Men’s/Women’s containers
- Honest and true friends
- Trauma and psychopathy
Song in intro- "Light of the Mountain" by Brandon Tilt
I acknowledge that I learn, grow and heal on the unceded ancestral lands of the Kwikwetlam first nation, the Stolo and the Tseil-Watuth first nations. These lands were never abandoned nor surrendered by those with the ancestral rights to steward and protect these lands.
I honor and respect the elders, the children, the land stewards, the land protectors, the medicine keepers, and the men and women of all indigenous nations.
Huy ch q’u (thank you) to those who support the indigenous communities and actively decolonize their minds and their spirits.
Aho Mitakuye Oyasin, All my relations.
