Alice Treves & Jef Szi
Bonus Episode #03
COMPASSION FOR THE SMALL SOUL
Episode Summary
In Compassion for the Small Soul show host Jef Szi welcomes special guest Alice Treves for a rambling and musing conversation about the value, function and limitations that come with our human ego. While the ego is often castigated and frequently misunderstood, this conversation explores and “defends” the egoic aspect of life as purposful and necessary, even with its notable imperfections.
As they reflect on the ego in light of evolution, the pressures and stimulation of modern times, as well as the inherent dance between our fractured and unified self, Alice and Jef lean on their years of partnership, professional experiences, and personal conversations to create a flowing and thought provoking show on how our “sense of self” is indigenous to our human condition.
Listen-in to this one, because in this special end of 2021 bonus episode there’s food for the small soul when we offer deep listening and compassion toward the egoic experience and the “parted self.”
Alice Treves is a practicing psychotherapist, school counselor and SEL and Psychology teacher.
