(Click on the above link, or here, for audio.)

Deep analysis of the process by which pain and childhood trauma become imprinted, leading to "neurosis" and various mental distortions -- based on the theory of Arthur Janov's Primal Therapy.

Discussion of neurosis and pain from psychological, Buddhist & Law of One perspectives. An integration of transpersonal psychology with Advaita Vedanta non-dual teachings on identity.

Formation of neurosis & psychological defense mechanisms, 3 types of distorted self-image & pain-avoidance associated with splitting (dichotomous thinking) & idealization-devaluation ("borderline" mental patterns and BPD).
