Donald was born and grew up in Ayrshire, on the west coast of Scotland. He also lived in England for about twenty years, before settling with his family in Nova Scotia, Canada. After doing his degree in philosophy at Aberdeen University he completed a masters degree in philosophy and psychotherapy at Sheffield University and went on to train in different models of psychotherapy, including doing a post-graduate diploma in advanced Cognitive-Behavioural Psychotherapy at Kings College.
Donald’s background in academic philosophy has helped him to appreciate the relationship between modern psychotherapy and ancient philosophy, a subject that he has frequently written about and lectured upon in training courses and professional conferences over the years.
Is there another expression for taking the perspective of the View from Above? Something like Becoming Aeon(?)Please advise.
Thanks.
Becoming Aeon might refer to the same concept, or something similar. You might call it the Olympian perspective but the “View from Above” seems to be the term people prefer, following Hadot.
