Just in time for Halloween I am bringing out a ghosting special. Ghosting is a particularly unkind and unfeeling way of treating people and can be extremely difficult to come to terms with. Not every ghost is friendly like Casper… In this episode I’m exploring what ghosting is, why it happens and what we can do about it – whether we are the ones be…

Freud found a huge amount of inspiration in Shakespeare’s works – so if it’s good enough for him, it’s definitely good enough for me. This time we are delving into Hamlet to see what we can learn about narcissism. This definitely won’t be the first time we use Hamlet as a reference point, as there’s so much in there! In this episode I explore why w…

Can we always see what is right in front of us? We might like to tell ourselves that we can, but this is not necessarily always the case. Despite what we might like to believe.

With so much noise in both our virtual and our real worlds how do we know who we should be listening to?

Do we know why we do things? What can our reasons be? We have been told over the last few years that we should have “purpose” or know what our “why” is. Yet sometimes that’s not so easy to do. And how do we feel if we are the ones struggling to find out our “why” in a world that seems to respond best to those of us who seem to know? Join me as I co…

We all know that feeling of “I’ll do it tomorrow” whilst being fully aware that we won’t do it tomorrow, or even the next day. Why do we do this to ourselves? Are we just making our lives harder for no reason? In this episode as well as meeting our old friends rationalisation and denial we are also welcoming back the repetition compulsion. And Jame…

Sibling rivalry isn’t just something that we leave at home, only to be brought out again at family events and Christmas. The way that we learn to be in the sibling dynamic can have a profound impact on how we relate to people as we grow and develop in life. Sibling rivalry can exist for only children too. In this episode we are not just picking up …

Power takes on many shapes and forms. There is the power wielded over us by those who govern us and those who hold an authoritarian role in our lives, and there is our own personal power. The power that is unique to us, and yet this is the one that we are often not in touch with or find it hard to hold on to. In this episode we are picking up our d…

There are many different reasons as to why we can’t leave a relationship, friendship or situation. And so many times we beat ourselves up for not being strong enough. Maybe we feel we lack confidence. But what if it’s actually our minds trying to protect us? What if it’s something that’s – ironically - trying to keep us safe? In this week’s episode…

How often do we say something and then worry that we have said the wrong thing? Often we will then run this over and over in our minds, thinking about if we have upset other people or what we could have said instead. We can tie ourselves up in knots about a particular conversation or event, frequently catastrophising about what people now think abo…

No is a small word, so we often think we need to add extra words after it, to make a complete sentence. But this just isn’t true. “No” is a sentence in itself. We often tie ourselves up in knots trying to explain our no, which defeats the point, as the clarity becomes diluted. In this episode I’m exploring why we often feel the need to justify our …

We all know the days when we take a deep breath and metaphorically put on our armour. It’s not fun. But why are we doing this?

Pain is something that all of us will go through at some point in our lives, and for some of us it will be chronic.

Today I’m thinking about a moment that many of us will have experienced and would most likely rather forget – that of being the last one to be picked for a team in our PE classes.
