Power and Disconnection: Dr. Steve Taylor on Human Cruelty and Healing

Episode Overview

  • Explore the impact of hyper-disconnection on individuals and society
  • Understand the roots of cruelty and the role of traumatic experiences
  • Discover the transformative power of connection and empathy
  • Reflect on the spectrum of connection and its implications for human behaviour
  • Unveil the potential for healing and personal growth even in the most disconnected individuals
Connection is our nature; we are all fundamentally interconnected. In theory, it should be possible to undo disconnection. Human beings can behave in a way that emerges from disconnection, but with the right support and practices, healing and connection are achievable.
What happens when disconnected individuals rise to power? In this episode of the Bear Psychology Podcast, Dr. Anna Baranowsky sits down with Dr. Steve Taylor to tackle this pressing question. Dr. Taylor, the author of 'DisConnected: The Roots of Human Cruelty and How Connection Can Heal the World', brings his deep understanding of human psychology to the table, exploring how trauma and disconnection can lead to cruelty and societal harm.
The conversation dives into the stark contrast between societies led by connected versus disconnected leaders. While the former fosters democracy and peace, the latter often steers towards hierarchy and conflict. But it's not all doom and gloom. Dr. Taylor sheds light on the transformative power of human connection, emphasizing that even the most disconnected individuals have the potential for healing and change.
With real-life examples and thought-provoking insights, this episode offers a comprehensive look at how connection—or the lack thereof—shapes our world. Whether you're grappling with personal disconnection or curious about its broader societal impacts, this episode provides valuable perspectives on fostering empathy and compassion.
