August 25, 2025 • Debra Berndt Maldonado and Robert Maldonado PhD Life Coach Training and Personal Transformation Experts • Season 9 • Episode 303

Join us in this new episode of Soul Session: A Jungian Coaching Podcast called “Unlocking Joy: The Psychology and Philosophy of Happiness” , we explore the essence of joy and how it can be cultivated in our lives. Discover the difference between modern and depth psychology's views on happiness, and learn how Eastern philosophy offers a unique perspective on finding bliss.

Key Points:

Joy as a Natural State - happiness is our natural state, achievable regardless of life circumstances.
Modern psychology views happiness as a result of neurobiology, while depth psychology focuses on the unconscious mind.
Explore the concept of Ananda, or bliss, as our true nature, and how non-attachment can lead to deeper joy.
Practical Exercises: Debra shares the practice of "neti neti" to help disengage from the ego and access pure awareness.
