S1. Ep 15. Healing intelligence, consciousness and the ego - a podcast by Alan Mulhern

Healing intelligence is integral to the complete functioning of the healthy psyche. It requires the cooperation of consciousness itself, which, when orientated towards healing, is aligned to the deeper psyche, learns from it, but can question it and engage in a healthy dialogue which is transformative for both consciousness and the unconsciousness.

The practitioner needs to be aware of the crucial yet variable importance of the ego and of consciousness at each stage of the transformation process and healing journey and be able to judge whether the ego and its defences need challenge or support. However, it is their challenging and dismantling which leads to healing intelligence being released.

The book upon which these podcasts are based is:  

Healing Intelligence:The Spirit in Psychotherapy - Working with Darkness and Light.
