How Our Organs Influence Our Psychological Well-Being

Recordings of a two-session webinar series taught by Dr. Guus van der Bie, in October 2020. The presentations explore the ways in which formative activities of the major organs of the body (heart, kidney, liver, lung) are also at work in our consciousness and emotional life. These insights and methodology help explain the two-way streaming of body and psychology—for example, why some research studies demonstrate a higher risk of depression when someone has known coronary artery disease, with other studies showing a higher risk of heart disease when someone has a history of depression. These links are explored within the series.
