b'Psychoanalysis has long been thought of as outdated, misogynistic, and even racist\\u2014a type of therapy for the rich and privileged. In fact, Dr. Fernando Castrillon thought as much himself when he first encountered psychoanalysis, but has since changed his mind, and is working to change the minds of others through his work and words on the subject.\\xa0\\nOn this episode of The Sidewalk Talk podcast, Traci talks with Dr. Fernando on all things psychoanalysis, how it differs from more typical forms of therapy practiced in the West, and how a psychoanalyst would address our society\\u2019s loneliness epidemic. During their conversation, Traci even shares her anger at psychotherapy with Dr. Fernando, inviting him to respond, and maybe even change listeners\\u2019 viewpoints on this practice that started with the likes of Freud and Lacan. The episode ends with Dr. Fernando\\u2019s word for you, the Sidewalk Talk listener, reiterating that psychoanalysis is, at its heart, an unlearning that makes room for another person to bring themself forward.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nEpisode Milestones\\n[00:07] Intro\\xa0\\n[03:46] Meet Dr. Fernando\\xa0\\n[08:56] Overview of psychoanalysis and the California Dream\\xa0\\xa0\\n[16:03] Psychoanalysis versus more \\u201ctypical\\u201d therapy approaches\\xa0\\n[20:31] What Lacan would say about Sidewalk Talk\\xa0\\n[27:54] Output and a lack of receptivity in our culture\\xa0\\n[32:23] Traci\\u2019s anger at psychotherapy and Dr. Fernando\\u2019s response\\xa0\\n[36:50] The psychoanalysis of our society\\u2019s loneliness epidemic \\xa0\\n[44:44] Dr. Fernando\\u2019s word for you\\n[47:12] Outro\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nResources Mentioned\\nEuropean Journal of Psychoanalysis\\xa0\\nCalifornia Institute of Integral Studies\\xa0\\nClinic Without Walls\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nStandout Quotes from the Episode\\n\\u201cMy job then is to sit there and listen to what might arise from this place of lack, as opposed to somehow nullifying it by trying to fill it in with something. That runs directly counter to the discourse of capitalism.\\u201d \\u2014Dr. Fernando Castrillon\\xa0\\n\\u201cThere\\u2019s nothing that will do in, or make an encounter or an analysis fall apart more than one person thinking that by having a certain set of theoretical knowledge that they know more than the other. It makes you close your ears.\\u201d\\u2014Dr. Fernando Castrillon\\xa0\\n\\u201cTheory is important to carve out our ear, but you\\u2019ve got to leave theory at the door the moment you have an encounter with somebody, otherwise all you\\u2019re doing is essentially trying to apply an ideology to a human. That\\u2019s violence.\\u201d\\u2014Dr. Fernando Castrillon\\xa0\\n\\u201cWe all have floaties. Psychoanalysis at its best is constantly deflating those floaties.\\u201d\\u2014Dr. Fernando Castrillon\\xa0\\n\\u201cThe more that we can empty ourselves out, the more the other will come forward. The less we are reliant on finding our footing in the world by trying to make the other give us a place, the more that the other will come through that is just them.\\u201d\\u2014Dr. Fernando Castrillon\\xa0\\n\\u201cIn the end, the best psychoanalytic training is an unlearning.\\u201d\\u2014Dr. Fernando Castrillon\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nConnect:\\nFind | Sidewalk Talk Podcast\\nAt sidewalk-talk.org\\nOn Instagram: @sidewalktalkorg\\nOn Twitter: @sidewalktalkorg\\n\\xa0\\nFind | Traci Ruble\\nAt Traciruble.com\\nOn Instagram: @TraciRubleMFT\\nOn Twitter: @TraciRubleMFT\\nOn Facebook: @TraciRubleMFT\\n\\xa0\\nFind | Dr. Fernando Castrillon\\xa0\\nAt DrCastrillon.com\\nOn LinkedIn: @DrFernandoCastrillon\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nSUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST\\nOn Apple Podcasts\\nOn Google Podcasts\\nOn Spotify'
