Jung at Harp – Connection or Control?
Connection or control? Which one do you cultivate in your art, your work, and your relationships—and why does it matter?
In this episode of Jung at Harp, Jungian psychoanalyst Kathleen Wiley and composer/performer Deborah Henson-Conant explore the difference between connection and control, and how these two ways of relating can shape the way we create, work, and connect with others.
Through an open conversation about music, psychology, creativity, and life, Kathleen and Deborah invite us to look at where we may be trying to control an experience—and what might happen if we instead focused on connection.
In this episode:
- Connection versus control in creativity and relationships
- How our need for control can affect artistic expression
- What it means to cultivate genuine connection
- Exploring the relationship between music, psychology, and life
- How awareness can change the way we create and relate to others
💬 Question for you: Where do you notice yourself choosing control over connection—and what might change if you chose connection instead?
