Metanoia: A Model for Breakdown and Growth

Psych Spiels & Silver Linings

Chris and Rowan discuss the idea of a breakdown and how we can use this seemingly negative opportunity to grow.

We look at metanoia, a Greek term that has been written about for thousands of years including by Swiss Psychologist Carl Jung who connected the ancient philosophical idea to modern psychology.

Metanoia relates to the distress that can come from having our deeper beliefs challenged, but also the opportunity that can come from recognising a need for change.
