#186- Dr. Steve Vinay Gunther: The Truth About Us

Dr. Steve Vinay Gunther is a renowned Australian Gestalt psychotherapist and founder of the acclaimed Northern Rivers Gestalt Institute in Australia.  He is also the author of the bestselling book “The Woman In Your Life - A Man’s Guide to a Happy Relationship”.  He has been in practice for over 40 years with an accomplished career in psychology, working with individuals, couples and families from all over the world.   Today, Dr. Gunther shares why his focus shifted to China and we get into a deep conversation about relationships.  We talk about what prevents us from sustaining healthy relationships and when to walk away.  We cover failed marriages, self-awareness, listening for “grains of truth” and men’s difficulty identifying and expressing deeper feelings.   We talk about shame, “un-virtues” and why running away from pain doesn’t work.  We also discuss the over-simplification of therapy in this digital age, the dangers of using AI for emotional guidance, and a wholistic way of perceiving our own existence called systems thinking.  We explore relationships from at least three levels, the relationship with ourselves, the ones we love, and society.  Join us as we uncover some hard truths. www.gestalt2027shanghai.com ____________________ 下载节目文字版: Episode Transcripts ____________________ If you enjoy this show don't forget to leave a rating and subscribe! 小红书: THD The Honest Drink Follow Us On IG: @thehonestdrink_ Join Us On WeChat: THD_Official Email: thehonestdrink@gmail.com Find us on: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, 小宇宙, 网易云音乐, 喜马拉雅, 小红书, YouTube, Bilibili or anywhere you get your podcasts.
