Episode Transcript

Tyson Conner (00:10):
Hello, Listener.
Do you want to learn aboutpsychological growth without
sorting through the jargon?
You're in the right place. Thisis the Relational Psych podcast.
I'm your host, licensedtherapist, Tyson Conner. On the
show, we learned about theprocesses and theories behind
personal growth and experience alittle bit of it ourselves. This
season, we're focusing on theword relational. Over the next

(00:32):
few months, you'll hear myinterviews with a group of
lovely, thoughtful andfascinating people. All of our
conversations will engage withcategories of relationship, and
human relationality. Sometimes,we'll discuss concepts from and
the practice of contemporaryrelational psychoanalysis. As
you'll hear in my conversationabout adolescent therapy with
Don Schimmel,

Don Schimmel (00:52):
You have to learn to love defiance. If you don't
like defiance, then you're goingto get into a power struggle.
But if you enjoy defiance, whichI happen to do, is that you go
with it.

Tyson Conner (01:02):
And my conversation about sex and
gender was Sally Bjorklund.

Sally Bjorklund (01:05):
People use sex for all different kinds of
psychological needs. But what Ihope happens in therapy, each
individual gets to have apersonal connection with an
understanding of how they usetheir own sexuality, how they
experience it.

Tyson Conner (01:21):
Other times, we'll discuss topics that come up in
psychotherapy, and how to engagewith those topics from a
relational perspective, whichwe'll hear in my conversations
about suicide with Dr. TysonBailey,

Tyson Bailey (01:31):
The techniques that guide our work are really
important as therapists and theycan be very meaningful for the
folks who come in. However, theresearch clearly shows that the
relationship is the mostimportant factor when it comes
to therapeutic change,regardless of modality, and
regardless of what bringssomebody into therapy

Tyson Conner (01:50):
And grief with Peter Jabin,

Peter Jabin (01:52):
Losing what we love is usually where we start in our
journey with grief. It's wherethe world finally gets to us and
breaks our heart open. Where weusually think of a broken heart
as a bad thing, but it breaks usopen to actually be present to
the world.

Tyson Conner (02:10):
And sometimes we'll discuss concepts that
transcend the realm ofpsychotherapy, even as they
permeate it. As in myconversation about teaching and
learning with Rachel Newcombe.

Rachel Newcombe (02:20):
Because if you go in knowing anything can
happen, it's both terrifying andit's also quite freakin
thrilling. You know, something'salways being made. And that's
the site of learning. That'swhat I feel is the site of
learning

Tyson Conner (02:37):
And my discussion of the social unconscious with
Karen Weisbard.

Karen Weisbard (02:40):
We all want to eliminate suffering, we have
very different ideas of how thatmight happen. And we can't
really eliminate suffering. Butwe all, I think, are trying to
be healers, even though it lookson the outside like some people
are full of hate.

Tyson Conner (02:59):
I hope that you find this season intellectually
stimulating, emotionallyengaging, and even fun to listen
to. Keep an eye out for theRelational Psych podcast on
