    Gaslighting

    Gaslighting

    Gaslighting is a phrase we use to mean being manipulated and to have your reality questioned. Cults have been doing it for decades, maybe even for thousands of years. Today I'm going to scratch the surface a bit. Come and have a listen. Support the Show.

    Choosing Toxic Partners

    Choosing Toxic Partners

    The psychology of repeating bad relationship after bad relationship is quite complicated.
    Self-esteem plays a big part but there's sometimes a bit more to it than that.
    Apologies for the F word. I'm sure that most of you probably don't mind. But if, on the off chance, you do or you listen with youngsters around. I give you a warning before hand to skip a few seconds anyway so it won't come as a surprise.

    Impatience

    Impatience

    There are always going to be things that go on in life that test our patience. Traffic lights, drive time congestion, demanding children, demanding friends. It's good to try and get a better perspective if you can. Support the Show.

    Overthinking, Mind Reading & Worrying

    Overthinking, Mind Reading & Worrying

    Overthinkers tell me all the time that a lot of their rumination is about what other people are thinking. But it's not whether other people are thinking positive things, people don't seem to ruminate on that. It's about judgement.

    Apathy

    Apathy

    Even without depression, sometimes we just get into a funk. Our motivation drops and all we feel capable of doing is staring into the distance and waiting to go back to bed again. It might seem as if there's no coming back from that but there is.

Enlightening and supportive

A great supplementary resource for those considering therapy. Moreover, Richard provides a positive and constructive outlook on topics and helps listeners challenge their own feelings.
It’s educational, comforting and being a Patreon member makes you feel part of a lovely community. Would recommend others support on Patreon as Richard uses part of the money to help provide therapy for those that need it.
