Psychological Splitting

In episode 613, depth psychotherapist and astrologer Shawna McGrath, LMFT (she/her) explores the concept of psychological splitting in depth psychology. Psychological splitting is one of many psychological defenses we all use at one time or another to deal with anxiety, fear of the unknown, shame, or other intense feeling states where we feel not okay in some way. It is often seen in "all or nothing" perspectives, severe exalting or degradation of oneself or others, intense intolerance toward certain situations or people, and at an extreme level: racism, homophobia, transphobia, religious persecution, etc. The more we can bring awareness to these kinds of experiences, the more we can start to bring healing and understanding to what's happening individually, relationally, socially, and collectively.
