Friendings Sabina Schaare

Guest insights and share: The show welcomes Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Consulting Astrologer, Suzanne Pfitzner. We discuss all manner of things thanks to Suzanne’s breadth of knowledge and experience: the way our astrological charts can influence how we show up in friendship; the spiritual text, A Course in Miracles, and how applying its principles provides a new and ultimately freeing way of looking at our friendships; and also using Byron Katie’s Judge Your Neighbour Worksheet to see how what we’re thinking and believing is the cause of our suffering. Suzanne also shares her story of a recent friending and how she has been making sense of it since. I so enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do, too.

Guest share: Amy charts the course of her most important friendship, from its early hedonistic days to what could be its end... if she lets it. Themes include the impact of a friend's partner's behaviour on the friendship, changing life stages, the perils of mixing friendship and money, especially without clear boundaries, and how clearly we are able to see our friend and the nature of the friendship itself to then inform how we wish to proceed.

Sabina shares: Here it goes... I'm finally talking about ‘the big one’, the friendship break-up from 25 years ago that I still grieve and which inspired this show.
This was a childhood friendship affected by a change of schools, and spans our coming of age. Themes include self-acceptance, inability to identify and articulate feelings as they arise leading to a tendency to lash out.
