Gaku Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I hope y'all are doing well. I've become a fan of Stefan's YouTube videos recently, especially the 2-3 hour call-in shows. I admire his emphasis on self-knowledge, and it's clear to see how much it helps people who call in. I wish I had been aware of the concept 10 years ago when I was really struggling to understand myself; it wasn't until I delved into the concepts of psychoanalysis, in a series of (unlikely but very useful) college psych courses, that I eventually started to figure things out on my own. I can see how Stefan applies many of those same principles to full effect, which is great, especially since so many of the mental health professionals that people turn to would rather medicate and zombify than work through underlying issues. A little bit about me: I'm probably the kind of person that Stefan likes to chide for doing everything wrong. It's ok though; I know what I'm doing, and I'm having a good time at it. Perhaps "worst" of all is that I'm dating a feminist (gasp!) and we're moving in together (the horror!). But seriously, she's great and we're looking to the future, and I've been through enough failed relationships in the past to know a good thing when I see it. Aside from that, I'm a half-Hungarian Okie transplant (Thunder Up!) working on a Ph.D., getting paid a little over minimum wage by the state (say it ain't so!) to teach the next batch of med school hopefuls the importance of Escherichia coli. I also really, really like kayaking, so if you want to know the places to go in the area, I'll point you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
