3 MAY 2026 · Examine the striking convergence between Jean-Paul Sartre’s concept of “bad faith” — the self-deception that denies personal freedom and responsibility — and Donald Winnicott’s psychoanalytic “False Self,” the defensive persona constructed to meet external demands at the expense of authentic existence.
This episode explores how inauthentic living creates profound psychological costs, including emotional numbness, identity fragmentation, chronic anxiety, and relational emptiness.
Essential listening for psychologists, psychotherapists, philosophers, coaches, and individuals seeking deeper self-understanding and pathways toward authentic living and psychological integration.

25 APR 2026 · In this episode of Philosophical Psychodynamics, we explore Marcus Aurelius’ concept of the Internal Citadel through a psychodynamic lens, examining how Stoic practices in Meditations function as sophisticated defense mechanisms against psychological distress. We integrate existential psychology and philosophical principles to reveal how Aurelius cultivated self-awareness and emotional regulation by fortifying the inner self. Listeners will gain practical insights for building their own internal citadel in daily life, fostering greater authenticity and resilience.
