The Dude Therapist

Eli Weinstein interviews Dene Logan on The Dude Therapist podcast. They explore the spirituality and soul of a couple, the collective reckoning with feminine and masculine energies, and codependency. Dene encourages people to seek to understand before seeking to be understood and to take into account the most generous interpretation when dealing with relationships. They discuss the hero's journey and archetypes, the importance of autonomy in relationships, and the advice her mentor gave her about relationships. They discuss reclaiming authentic selves, Carl Jung's depth psychology, the power of love and relationships, and the importance of understanding and grace.
