"Spheres of the Self: Navigating Identity, Emotions, and Relationships in Therapy"

Art: Are Everyone Stands Under His Own Dome of Heaven Anselm Kiefer German

In this thought-provoking podcast, we explore the complex interplay between the self, emotions, and relationships through the lens of Peter Sloterdijk's spherology and the history of Western thought. Each episode delves into the ways in which individuals construct and inhabit their own "spheres" of meaning, and how these spheres shape their sense of identity, emotional experiences, and interpersonal dynamics. We examine how the binary opposition between the self and the other, and between reason and emotion, has influenced therapeutic approaches throughout history, and how contemporary theories and practices are challenging these dichotomies. Our expert guests, including therapists, philosophers, and cultural critics, offer insights into the fluid, dynamic nature of the self and the importance of recognizing the complex interplay between individual and collective spheres.

Through case studies, personal anecdotes, and philosophical reflections, we explore how therapy can help individuals navigate the challenges of constructing and maintaining a coherent sense of self in an increasingly globalized, technologically mediated, and ecologically fragile world. We discuss the role of emotions, relationships, and embodied experiences in shaping the self, and how therapists can support clients in developing more flexible, adaptive, and inclusive spheres of meaning. Whether you're a therapist, a philosopher, or simply someone interested in the mysteries of the human psyche, this podcast offers a stimulating and accessible exploration of the complex dynamics of selfhood and relationality in the contemporary world.
