In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma, I sit down with author and professor Joan K. Peters, whose memoir Untangling dives deep into the layered, complex process of healing through psychoanalysis. Joan opens up about her own long-term journey in therapy, the power of dreamwork, and thesubconscious patterns that keep so many of us stuck.
We talk about what it really means to “untangle” the inner knots around love, money, and self-worth, and why healing often looks nothing like we expect.
Joan’s honesty, depth, and insight make this a must-listen for anyone who's ready to look beneath the surface.
What we cover in this episode:
- The difference between traditional therapy and psychoanalysis.
- How childhood perception shapes adult pain.
- Joan’s biggest “knots” and how she began to unravel them.
- Why healing is often messy—and why that’s okay.
- The slow unwinding process of real change.
- The power of telling your story.
- What to look for in a healing relationship.
- How logic and emotion can coexist in deep healing work.
