Dr. Ray O'Neill, a psychoanalyst in private practice in Dublin, Ireland. We talk about psychoanalytic theory and practice, Lacan, clinical work, mental health treatment, sexuality, sex positivity, anxiety, society, societal discourse, stigma, transgenerational transmission of trauma, politics & more!
Dr. O'Neill runs Machna Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy a counselling and psychoanalytic practice based in North Dublin City Centre and Beara, West Cork. Machnamh is the Irish (Gaelic) term for reflecting, contemplating in an active, deep, considered way. "In our modern demanding culture it is more and more difficult to find a genuine time and space to step back from our lives and deliberately consider who we are, how we are living our life, or how we want to be?"
The books Dr. O'Neill refers to are Paul Verhaeghe's Love in a Time of Loneliness and On Being Normal & Other Disorders.
