Ep. 122","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1575,"description":"Do you constantly see what's wrong and feel compelled to fix it? In this imagined Jungian session, a man named Percy — a bank compliance officer sent by his girlfriend for his  perfectionism — meets Carl Jung to ask how he can talk to his girlfriend, and whether he has OCPD (obsessive-compulsive personality disorder). Jung isn't interested in the label. He shows Percy how his need to be right is a mask for feeling insecure, how he identifies with the prophet archetype, and why proving yourself makes it impossible to express yourself. You'll hear Jung's powerful reframes: perfection used to mean wholeness, not precision. Certainty is closer to error; curiosity is closer to truth. Direction comes from feeling, not reason. And through Percy's dachshund dream and the Percival myth — failing to ask \"What ails you?\" — Jung reveals why driven, thorough people keep going in circles. If you live with obsessive compulsive personality disorder traits,  perfectionism and anxiety, or a relentless inner critic, this conversation on psychology and mental health offers a path from mask to wholeness.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Flded143RhYZecyTwOe_oM0OHL4N1Tu5lQoVo-EfIWs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQzMTY0LzE2ODkw/MDgwMzAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
