b'Following up on our show on Home, and that \\u201call sickness is homesickness\\u201d we discuss the phenomena of magical thinking as a way to create safety when what one really wants is a sense of home. \\nMagical thinking is an error in causation, attributing a cause and effect relationship when there isn\\u2019t one. We all engage in magical thinking, buying a lottery ticket is testimony to that, it only becomes a \\u201cpathological\\u201d problem when it creates significant consequences/distress i.e., betting your house in a poker game. Join hosts Kevin O\\u2019Donoghue and Niseema Dyan Diemer as they talk about magical thinking in both its pathological and innocuous versions: and as it relates to significant conditions like adolescent cutting and Borderline Personality Disorder.'
