In this episode of the podcast, I am speaking with Psychologist Thomas Bjarke Markersen about Re-imagining Masculinity. Amongst other things we talk about some of the things he is noticing with the young men entering therapy in his practice/ The retreat in young men/The deconstruction of the Hero/ The need to re-imagine masculinity in the present environment/Masculine Principle/Feminine Principle/ The Enantiodromia - when things go in the opposite direction. Initiation in first half of life/Second half of life. Different styles of masculinity Zeus/Apollo/Hermes and the Trickster as different archetypal styles.
Thomas Markersen is a Licensed psychologist based in Copenhagen in Denmark. He has written extensively about psychology in the press and has participated as an in-house psychologist on TV and radio programmes over the past twenty years. His style has been to present psychological perspectives that draw heavily on depth/archetypal psychology — using storytelling, humor and archetypal ideas to make complex themes more human and accessible.
