The Masks We Wear When Wounded April 22, 2009

Host: Armand DiMeleGuests: Anne Marganow, Claudia Fox, Diane, Matilda, Susie

Hiding pain behind a strong face is survival instinct, but it costs us. Armand DiMele uses the silverback gorilla as a metaphor for how wounded people perform strength, weaving in the Platters’ “Great Pretender” and a famous poem by Charles Finn to show how masks protect us while keeping us unknown and alone.

Releasing Repressed Emotion with Anne Marganow Undated

Host: Armand DiMeleGuests: Anne Marganow

Bottled-up feelings turn into rage, depression, and stuck stories. Armand DiMele and therapist Anne Marganow argue that accessing fear, sadness, and vulnerability is not weakness but the path to self-support, discussing breathwork, role-switching, and why hysteria is actually a flight from feeling.
