How To Handle the Parts of Yourself That You Wish Didn't Exist | Satya Doyle Byock

10% Happier with Dan Harris

How to do "shadow work," interpret your dreams, and find your "self."

Satya Doyle Byock is a psychotherapist and educator focused on the relationship with the unconscious. She is the director of The Salome Institute of Jungian Studies and the author of the book Quarterlife: The Search for Self in Early Adulthood. She writes weekly and hosts regular workshops on her Substack, Self & Society.

In this episode we talk about:

• The vast impact of Carl Jung's work
• What separates Freud and Jung
• The connection between Jung's ideas and Buddhism
• Practical exercises to help us resolve the tension between safety and meaning – between stability and taking a walk on the wild side
• Dreamwork: what it is, why we should do it, and the "how to"
• The perks of making the unconscious feel seen
