<p>In this solo episode, I explore what Erich Fromm and Frantz Fanon can teach us about suffering, freedom, and what it means to be human. I’m not speaking as a scholar — I’m speaking as a <strong>psychotherapist</strong> who sits with real people in real pain every day. This is my humble, subjective take on how their ideas show up in the therapy room.</p><p><br></p><p>I look at how both thinkers believed our struggles aren’t just personal — they’re shaped by the world we live in. Fromm leans toward love, boundaries, and humanistic change; Fanon toward rupture, fire, and reclaiming dignity through action. I also reflect on our tendency to idealize intellectual heroes instead of learning to think for ourselves.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re curious about the intersection of mental health, meaning, and the social world we’re all trying to survive, this conversation is for you.</p>
