&ldquo;This waiting for approval from daddy&mdash;all of that is so antithetical to actually living your own existence,&rdquo; says psychotherapist Satya Doyle Byock. Today, Byock returns for a conversation about the ego, why it gets a bad rap, and why we need a strong sense of self to be in relationship with anyone. Also: our culture&rsquo;s ascension myth, and why we have a tendency to misinterpret Jungian psychology and overemphasize the importance of individuation and the drive to transcend. Then, Byock shares something poignant about how life, for her, stays beautiful and bountiful, even in the extreme difficulty of things. <p data-encore-id="text" data-slate-node="element" data-slate-fragment="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">For the show notes (including links to my previous conversations with Satya Doyle Byock and our I Ching video workshop), head over to<a href="https://eliseloehnen.substack.com/p/the-podcast" data-encore-id="textLink" data-slate-node="element" data-slate-inline="true">⁠&nbsp;my Substack⁠</a>.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
