In Episode 318 of Through a Therapist's Eyes, we explore the enduring appeal - and potential pitfalls - of Stoicism in today's world. While its core virtues of courage, temperance, wisdom, and justice offer a resilient framework for navigating life's challenges, misapplying Stoic techniques can lead to emotional suppression, social withdrawal, or an unhealthy reliance on self-control. Join us as we reflect on the deeper purpose behind Stoic practices like negative visualization and journaling, ask how they've helped (or hurt) in real-life situations, and consider how to strike a healthy balance between emotional awareness and rational virtue.
