Hello and welcome to the Body Meets Mind podcast - the podcast within the podcast! Paul, and Tom here, and we are exploring philosophies and strategies for an elevated life. We are so excited to present to you all the hard work that we've been working on behind the scenes. We've been developing great interviews and some really, really excellent podcasts where Tom and also just talk about things that nourish our mind as well as our body and everything in between. We're taking top down approaches and bottom up approaches that relay my experience as a counsellor and Paul's experience as a health and wellness coach for human optimisation performance, purpose, and meaning.

Today I was on the other side of the mic! My good friend and colleague interviewed me on her show "Tell The Others". Some of the topics we discussed included:

What does self-healing mean anyway? 

Why do you call it an 'art'?

What do you know about self-healing?

What's your experience with self-healing?

How do you know it's effective?

How does therapy fit into the picture?

What would you say to someone who feels stuck and is having a hard time in their own self-healing?

Joseph has worked with a wide range of individuals. This includes coaching children with ADHD, teens transitioning to college, adults seeking improved mental focus/performance, and elderly searching for life’s purpose. 

This experience, his personal “revelations” and research led him to the work of Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung. A rather synchronistic journey in itself (a story to be told some day). Through Jung’s work, Joseph was able to connect his findings and personal philosophy to Carl Jung’s ideas of individuation, synchronicity, the conscious EGO, the personal/collective unconscious and the Self. 

Since, Joseph has focused his personal research on Jung’s work in order to bring it forward to our times today. In July 2021, he produced his first lecture series on The Red Book by Carl Jung which received over 50,000 views on YouTube.
