In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma, I sit down with author and professor Joan K. Peters, whose memoir Untangling dives deep into the layered, complex process of healing through psychoanalysis. Joan opens up about her own long-term journey in therapy, the power of dreamwork, and thesubconscious patterns that keep so many of us stuck.We talk about what it really means to “untangle” the inner knots around love, money, and self-worth, and why healing often looks nothing like we expect.Joan’s honesty, depth, and insight make this a must-listen for anyone who&#39;s ready to look beneath the surface. What we cover in this episode:<ul><li>The difference between traditional therapy and psychoanalysis.</li><li>How childhood perception shapes adult pain.</li><li>Joan’s biggest “knots” and how she began to unravel them.</li><li>Why healing is often messy—and why that’s okay.</li><li>The slow unwinding process of real change.</li><li>The power of telling your story.</li><li>What to look for in a healing relationship.</li><li>How logic and emotion can coexist in deep healing work.</li></ul>More about Joan:Joan K. Peters is a writer, professor emeritus, and the author of Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. With a Ph.D. in comparative literature, Joan taught others how to analyze great stories—until she found herself living one of her own. She now resides in Ojai, California, with her husband, dogs, and afew chickens who’ve probably heard all the secrets.Grab Joan’s book:Website: <a href="https://www.untanglingjoan.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.untanglingjoan.com/</a>Untangling on Amazon: <a href="https://a.co/d/e736fXe" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://a.co/d/e736fXe</a> Want to explore your own healing journey through the body?Check out my Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery sessions at <a href="https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com/</a>Have a unique healing modality you&#39;d love to share on the show?Email me at mindyourownkarma@gmail.com—I&#39;d love to hear from you!Find Melissa:-Email Melissa here: <a href="mailto:mindyourownkarma@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mindyourownkarma@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>-Click here for the <a href="https://www.mindyourownkarma.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mind Your Own Karma Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>⁠-Click here for <a href="https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>-Find Mind Your Own Karma on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>-Find Mind Your Own Karma on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>-Find Mind Your Own Karma on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> Remember: You might be just one listen away from a totallydifferent life. #MindYourOwnKarma #KarmaCrew #UntanglingTrauma #PsychoanalysisHealing #SubconsciousHealing #HealingJourney #DreamworkTherapy #EmotionalHealing #TherapyTools #MentalHealthAwareness #DeepHealingWork #InnerKnots #UnravelThePast #TellYourStory #JoanKPeters #MemoirHealing #HealingPodcast #TraumaRecovery#HealingThroughPsychoanalysis #HealingIsMessy
