Hey, my name is Reuben Wachs and I'm a trainee counsellor. I believe that finding great resources and theories can change your life and as a result, I have a passion for sharing what I find with you!

In Reuben Recommends, I mix it up by either taking you on a deep dive into a particular psychology, counselling or philosophy theory, or we keep it casual and I share my favourite books, podcasts and videos of the last four weeks.

Each solo episode comes out on the 1st of each month and the guest episodes come out on the 15th.

I hope you enjoy the podcasts!

    Favourite quote
    FEEL THE FEAR...AND DO IT ANYWAY
    Often we think, 'I'll do it when I am not so afraid.' But in reality, it works the other way round. The 'doing it' comes before the fear goes away. The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it.

    The Five Truths about Fear
    The fear will never go away as long as I continue to grow.The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out... and do it!The only way to feel better about myself is to go out... and do it!Not only am I going to experience fear whenever I am on unfamiliar territory, but so is everyone else.Pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the underlying fear that comes from feeling helplessness.I'll Handle It! ---- Susan Jeffers

    Autobiography in Five Short Chapters Written by Portia Nelson

    ‘Be careful what you let become critical to you. Try to get yourself into situations where the most urgent problems are ones you want to think about.’ - Paul Graham

    ‘Animals are my friends, and I don’t eat my friends’ - George Bernard Shaw

    “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” — Attributed to Rabindranath Tagore

    ‘It is perfectly human to be afraid and, while afraid, that one is still obliged to live one’s life and to undertake one’s journey.’ (Hollis, 1994 p. 90)

    Robert Hilleger says, ‘Shame started as a two-person experience, But as I got older I learned to do shame all by myself.”
