  • Excellent show

    Intelligent and informative information on the state of health care in the US. I knew things were not right in the early 2000’s, but COVID really opened my eyes to the deception of western medicine and the government agencies. I look to my own health now and I listen to this podcast for some alternative information for my health.

The state of psychoanalysis today
Q: What is your book about?
The Fog of War explores narcissism, how narcissists manipulate others, and how victims can emerge stronger; it emphasizes reclaiming sovereignty and transforming suffering into purpose.
