This is Not Therapy Tina Sederholm
-
- Society & Culture
Poet and theatre-maker Tina Sederholm riffs on those nagging issues that refuse to go away. Whether it’s dealing with a tyrannical to-do list, your job, marriage or simply trying to find inner peace, Tina has at least 42 stories to shift your perspective. Think of it as being wrapped in a lambswool patchwork poncho of love, and handed a homemade mint tea. Or taking a breath of actual fresh air, not air freshener. Or that sense of satisfaction you get when you finally de-sludge the kitchen sink plughole. Ahh…that’s better.

S3E4 Where'd You Park Your Spaceship?
S3E4 Where’d You Park Your Spaceship?
Sometimes you take a risk and the risk comes off. I asked one of my all time heroes, New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell, if he would come on the podcast. And he said ‘Yep.’
What?! On my little old podcast?
We talk creativity and resistance, creative resistance, and the healing power of bread. Oh and about his new novel, ‘Where’d you park your spaceship?’ A truly magical conversation, I’m so glad you can hear it too.

S3E3 Do This One Thing Every Day
Early career writers often get the advice to ‘Write Every Day’. Adverts for fitness and self-improvement products exhort you to ‘Just do this for 10 minutes a day and your belly/ bank balance/life will change forever.’ But is it actually sustainable to do something every day? Let’s find out.

S3E2 Winner Never Quit, Quitters Never Win
S3E2 Winners Never Quit, Quitters Never Win
What motivational quotes really get up your nose? In a slight departure from our normal format, I’m going to spend the next few episodes exploring common bits of life advice that are supposed to be uplifting and inspiring but can equally cause frustration. And the first one is…Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win. Thank you to Rick Dove for this suggestion. If you have a saying that you want me to deconstruct in an amusing yet nuanced way, let me know!

S3E1 Treat Your Money Like Your Lover
S3E1 Treat Your Money Like Your Lover
This is Not Therapy is back for a third season, and yet again I’m kicking off with an off-piste episode where, instead of the usual format, I interview a fascinating individual to set the tone for the rest of the season. This time I am talking to my good friend Ivonne Senn about our relationship with money.
Uh Oh…
If thinking about money, handling money or just paying the bills is a source of stress for you , I highly recommend listening to our conversation. I don’t think I know anyone who has a more grounded, humane and functional relationship with finances. And it’s not scary. She gives actual advice that you can implement today. Imagine feeling better about money right now. Wouldn’t that be lovely.

S2E10 Read Hitchhikers!
S2E10 Read Hitchhikers!
Do you have a book that you return to over and over again? What is it about that story? Is it getting lost in it that helps, or does it contain some wisdom, some clue that helps you makes sense of a chaotic world.
In my early teens and twenties, that book for me was Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I lost touch with it for a couple of decades, though I’m reply sure there was always a copy on one of my bookshelves. Then, it came back to me at a most unexpected moment. But would it stand the test of time?
