On episode 158, we welcome Kirk
Schneider to discuss life-enhancing anxiety and how it differs from
its everyday counterpart, Kirk’s childhood trauma and his early
relationship with his psychoanalyst, the existential unconscious
and its inception at birth, the ways we tend to elude negative
emotions (like boredom and anxiety), the necessity of forming a
national mental health initiative, the ambiguity of existential
psychotherapy and why it shouldn’t pretend to answer life’s
fundamental questions, the existential ideal being more
collectivistic rather than individualistic, and the importance of
asking yourself: how am I living and how should I live?
Kirk J. Schneider,
Ph.D. is a leading spokesperson for contemporary
existential-humanistic and existential-integrative psychology. Dr.
Schneider was a 2022 Candidate for President of the American
Psychological Association (APA), a cofounder and current president
of the Existential-Humanistic Institute (an award-winning
psychotherapy training center), and a two-term Member of the
Council of Representatives of the APA. He has written several books
including Existential–Humanistic Therapy, Depolarizing America, and
the Spirituality of Awe. His newest book, available on February 1,
2023, is called Life Enhancing Anxiety: Key to a Sane
World.
