This is the first in a series of self-contained talks on some of the major ideas of modern psychology and how they intersect with the insights of the dharma. The first talk introduces a few of the great DW Winnicott's theories concerning the true and false self, the good enough mother and the transitional object.If you like this talk, please consider donating! In the 2,500 year old tradition I teach entirely by dana: in other words, I scrape by entirely on the generous donations of those who listen and get something from the teaching. The donation paypal button is in the right margin of this page. Please check out dharmapunxnyc.com for info about classes and one-on-one counseling, retreats, etc. While I cannot promise to reply to emails, I do read them: korda.josh@gmail.com
