  • Summary

  • How did primitive societies perceive mental and physical ailments? What role did spirits and supernatural beliefs play in their healing practices? And how did these ancient traditions evolve into modern psychotherapy?


    In this episode, we explore the fascinating interplay between spirituality, mysticism, and early attempts at healing, as described in Chapter 1 of Henri Ellenberger's The Discovery of the Unconscious.


    We'll learn how shamans, priests, and healers influenced early conceptions of mental health and how rituals, myths, and spiritual practices shaped the foundation of what we now know as psychotherapy.
