Summary
In this episode, we sit down with Lishui Springford — earth scientist turned ecology professor, GNM practitioner since 2002, and host of the Mind Over Symptom podcast. Lishui makes the case that identity conflict sits at the root of all biological conflict — that every symptom, every pattern, every fear traces back to a single fracture: existential isolation, the felt experience of being severed from the source of your own being. We explore how victim-based, deterministic thinking follows us into even the frameworks meant to free us, and why the only question that actually resolves anything is who do I want to be? If you’ve sensed there’s a deeper question beneath every pattern you keep repeating — this one’s for you.
