  • Donald Robertson is a prolific author and psychotherapist, whose extensive historical study of Stoicism informs his books and practice. Join us as he dispels myths regarding Stoic philosophy, and demonstrates how this school of thought may be used as psychotherapy. This interview focuses upon conceptualizing Stoicism as a practical counseling approach, and explores:
    -Why a large readership rapidly adopted Stoic thought and books in recent years, while the psychotherapy landscape has remained largely unchanged
    -Why certain elements of stoic thought and analysis have defied easy adoption into counseling practice, and how this can be changed by clinicians
    -How Stoicism and philosophical inquiry were explicitly intended and used as therapy models, in antiquity
    -How Stoicism was discovered, forgotten, and rediscovered by the fields of psychology and psychotherapy
    -Specific Stoic interventions which lend themselves easily to therapy and improvement of mental health
    -Why COVID-19 is not too large a challenge for Stoic philosophy, and how to address ongoing stresses with the wisdom of the ancients.

  • Jason Snyder, PhD is an adjunct professor at Appalachian State University (ASU), serving in the Department of Sustainable Development.
    He is a man for all seasons, just as comfortable discussing mindfulness, self-inquiry, and the finer points of eastern philosophy as he is addressing "fractal localism" and "permaculture." This is who you want in a "Walking Dead" Scenario, in which sustainable agriculture AND philosophy are both required.
    Jason's expertise at proposing and fashioning sustainable agricultural ecosystems (with a view toward economic sustainability) serves as a welcome and timely topic, in the latter portion of this interview.
    The first hour of this podcast contrasts Jason's psychological and philosophical background with my own, with a deep yet conversational dive into applied philosophy and psychology. I speak with Jason regarding the "both/and" stance of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as this relates to his own personal journey as a "cartographer of ideas," who practices curious listening toward dissonant ideas. "Both/AND" is even the name of a podcast which he hosts with Jared Janes.
    Special attention is dedicated to the overlap between psychology (especially Robert Keegan's Theory of Adult Development) and spiritual experiences, with relevance to daily functioning. Our dialogue regarding the interactive relationship between neurobiology (limbic system, frontal lobe, etc.) and personality growth/pathlogy is especially notable.
    Jason's fondness for 
    🔥psychological development theory, 
    🔥metamodernity
    🔥and curiosity regarding the predisposition for human beings to compartmentalize themselves into "memetic tribes"
    All form a bridge between the "Both/AND" podcast and the Fox Den.
    You'll also want to hear our conversation regarding Jason's article, Decentralizing Cognition: Integrating Mindfulness and Self-Inquiry.
    Our interview concludes with a focus upon Jason's passion for combining economic and environmental sustainability.
