At 96, She’s Still Learning, Working & Exploring Life with Bubbles Levinson

Born and bred in Johannesburg, Bubbles was the second of four children and grew up in a multicultural and multilingual family. Her mother travelled with her to Belgium when she was just six months old, so French was her mother tongue. It seems fitting that her professional life followed a similarly diverse path. Bubbles trained in psychoanalysis, studying the work of British psychoanalysts including Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, Douglas Fairbairn, Marion Milner and Ronnie Laing. She later trained in Gestalt therapy in America, Tomatis Music Therapy in Paris, and Constellation Therapy in Germany. In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy sits down with Bubbles to explore the many paths that have shaped her life and work, her move to New Zealand at 82, and what has kept her curious, engaged and continuing to work with people throughout her life. They also talk about relationships, expectations, and the deeper meaning behind I take you as you are” — allowing ourselves and others to be who we truly are, without needing them to be different for us. This conversation also connects beautifully with Bubbles’ upcoming two-part online exploration, Liberation: “I Take You As You Are”, taking place on 14 & 21 October 2026, 7–9 pm NZT. She'll explore expectations, needs and projections in relationships, taking responsibility for our own needs, and how acceptance can create greater freedom. Both sessions will be recorded.
