  • Overcoming Ego and Identity and Just Being

    Overcoming Ego and Identity and Just Being
    Jun 28 2026
    In today's REAL THERAPY session, Zak and Stephen discuss more about Stephen's grappling with what it is to be a man. Until Zak poses a very succinct question "why does this bother you so much?". This prompts a change in course, where the idea of identity and self can become all consuming, and perhaps we should be more open as humans to the idea of just being. Being without grand ideas of ourselves, being without fixed identities. Just being. Something for Every Human Here. This is Real Talk Therapy. And you are welcome to listen. #therapist #therapy #mentalhealth #ego Disclaimer: Welcome to our Podcast - ‘One man and his therapist’ where the opinions expressed by our presenters are entirely their own.
