About this listen

In the first podcast we explored how my adult feelings of not being enough started in childhood. I explained that when I was a young child my father had a series of bipolar episodes that forced him to leave the house. The five year old me thought it was my fault and it caused me to adopt a pattern of behavior that I naively thought would keep it from happening again --- namely my drive to be better, to do more, to climb the highest mountains.

In this podcast. we are going to explore awareness, specifically how I became aware, over the course of many years, of the impact that my father’s mental illness had upon my life and it causing me to be a habitual mountain climber.

I’ve followed many different paths to gaining awareness from reading books on neuroscience and attending Tony Robbins seminars to going to immersive 10 day transformational retreats to experiencing re-birthing and dance therapies to many many more. In this podcast I’ll explain how several of these paths ---- mediation, psychotherapy, and art making --- all gave me meaningful insight into my mountain climbing addiction during The Art of Enough and led to positive emotional and psychological change.
