Psychology in the Light of the East - Interview with psychotherapist Margot Borden

Image
Today our guest is Margot Borden , a psychotherapist and author working from a spiritual perspective. She is originally American but has spent 21 years in France, 9 years in the UK and 4 1/2 years in India where she currently resides. Her approach does not stop at the western, pragmatic, externally focused understanding of psychology focused on the outer, observable self. Her approach is soul-centered. She works online and in person helping people from all over the world toward their psychospiritual healing and development. We have conducted an interview with her.

We have conducted an interview with her. Why do you want to make poetry more accessible to young people? How do you plan to do that?
