Men for men, women for women? Wow - big call. Are you emotionally unconsciously living in a polygamous relationship? Do you leak your unconscious invitational energies to connect? Do you hang out one to one with attractive members of the opposite sex and have a perfectly emotionally connected, fully conscious, secure and mutually trusting relationship with your partner?

If your feeling a little unsure as to where you stand on all these things - as I was - Conversations for Conscious Relationships Podcast is perhaps the most provocative and divisive ever.

South Coast NSW Australian Psychotherapists, Dean Dampney and Chad Taylor, cover some of the fundamental issues that we all face in relationship. The stuff that feels…..sticky…..and for so many of us the things that keep us stuck!

Can we learn to somehow ‘hold space’ and how? Can we not close? Can we ‘stay open, stay open, stay open’…to their valid felt and authentic perspective. And possibly even remove ourselves from the perspective of our precious egos.

Dean and Chad furthermore discuss looking deep into our unconscious habitual behaviours, and applying that in our relationships.

And perhaps the most important thing discussed in this Relationship Podcast, is how normal it is to be in the patterns of pain and stuckness in our relationships. But to know above all, as testing as it all is, we all have the capacity to grow - to grow more conscious and hence more functional and giving and able to receive in union.

There are times that even podcasting Psychotherapists forget things, like...the name of the podcast, or how to pronounce philosophical. All providing great material for unfolding the unconscious guidance of where we're meant to be in relationships. The work F.U.C.K is used perhaps too many times but always for relevant emphasis. More importantly the notion of 'doing the work', to ritualise the ways in which we can grow together in relationship is imprinted beyond four letter words. It's with a pronounced step forward, imprinting the psyche as a positive practice. Chad and Dean honestly dissect further; personal truths, religiosity, and flow of conscious behaviour. All in the name of finding our happy place is readily and as often as possible. This one's short, succinct, and full of nuggets for getting better at relating with your best selves.

Dean and Chad dissect 'consciousness' in our relationships and how it relates to the way we perceive ourselves with respect to our partners.

To be consciously kind, supportive and loving towards our partner is easy when things are good, but how our conscious perception of our partner shifts when we're in conflict is a different story marred with deafness, blind spots and resentment.

In this episode Dean and Chad hope for people in partnership to be able to see clear of their egoic strongholds, and consciously create a relationship that's evolutionary.

In this episode Psychotherapists Dean Dampney and Chad Taylor, discuss some of the complexities to relationship that we are so often challenged by.

Respect came up. More to the point, disrespect, and how to work with this arising in our relationships. Infidelity, jealousy, hatefulness, are all words that we’d rather not associate with our personal relationships. Complexity, polyamory, and cooked lunches are all thrown into the mix.

As Dean and Chad fall into a steady cadence and confidence, speaking to their chosen areas of expertise, this conversation unfolds as one for all people in relationship looking to grow and become free of the negative habitual patterns that are so often present in our relationships with ourselves, and with each other, from the early stages.

In this Conversation for Men and Women Podcast, Dean Dampney and Chad Taylor, Holistic Counsellors and Psychotherapists from the South Coast of New South Wales Australia, make some piercingly strong viewed statements about how to deal with conflicts in relationship.

This conversation is far from psychological revelation - it's stating a way of going about having difficult conversations in relationships in such a way that we can hopefully grow together as opposed to push each other apart.

At the crux of all of our relationship Dean and Chad advocate for bringing together the opportunity to reveal the driving difficult aspects of our unconscious. If done with wisdom, the process can be such that everyone's a winner.

This may be the most important podcast Dean and Chad have shared to date.

Host Dean Dampney, friend and fellow Holistic Counsellor and Psychotherapist, Chad Taylor, zoom out beyond the tit for tat, he said she said, bullshit that too many of us have been caught up fighting over in our relationships at one point or another.

If you're stuck on how the f&%k your partner could have said that or done that....again, take a listen to this - you might learn how to be able to pull your shoes out of the mud and see the daylight falling upon greener pastures within reach.

Warning: this podcast is a jungle of mixed metaphors that Dean and Chad, are claiming as their own relatively conscious intentional seeds for growth, gone wild - perhaps in maddening directions for the listener. Test your own resilience through this metaphorical battle for guidance. If you survive this podcast, you'll be up for anything alongside your feisty beloved.

Enjoy!

Dean and Chad open the discussion with the question, how far do you need to go to find your guru, and what does finding one's guru really mean anyway? As all Conversations for Men and Women carry the intention, this is about finding the best version of ourselves, alongside those that we're in relationship with, so we can all work towards bringing the energy towards love and peace. If you're feeling like you can do it on your own, this podcast might just change your opinion.

These phone's are fucking us up! Pinging like a pokie machine, we're addicted to the things. In busier times than ever, do we find peace and freedom from all this? How do we nourish ourselves? In ways that feel sustainable! How do we stay motivated? To do anything?. Are you creating the life you really choose? Or is your culture and conditioning choosing how to create you?

View Details

What do we do when we're overwhelmed? Is this the pattern we continually repeat. I know  you're saying, but, these things need to be done. There's financial stress, bills and mortgages that need to be paid. Kids that need to be fed. Let alone a house that looks like shit. How much of this have we unconsciously created? Can simply bringing awareness to this sinking ship, lighten the load, perhaps buoy us back to calmer waters, at least for a rest? All this along with a bit of Kangaroo talk, between Dean, Di and Chad who are intent on guiding you the best they can towards your place of calm and abundance.

Dean Dampney and Chad Taylor, both Holistic Counsellors and Psychotherapists operating on the South Coast of NSW, conversationally dance to the energy in the 'room'. There's some shuffling, and sidestepping, a bit of salsa, an arched back and hid dip, to swan like formations in Waltz. All suggesting absolutely nothing meaningful in the face value of this ridiculous summary, but suggestive at least of there being value in listening if you're anywhere near inclined to explore the absurd notion of self. Whatever you do just don't ask out loud, 'Who Am I'. 

View Details

We're all so full of.......unconscious projection! Some call it....shit!

What are we committed to? What are we holding on to? Running  from? Is it really their fault? Can't see the forest for the trees? Let alone the picnic rug with all those tasty treats your perfect partner has spent days baking?

When we've got shit going on (OK who doesn't), how do we navigate it with some morsels of wisdom? How do we come out the other side, patting all involved on the back, in fact throwing down full body loving hugs, saying to each other 'fuck yeah, how good are we!'. 

While Chad calls it for what it is, Dean goes on his longest philosophical monologue to date - both are more fired up with a drive and passion for expansion in relationship than ever. 

Enjoy!

Dean and Chad, Holistic Counsellors and Psychotherapists, specialising in relationships, discuss how to navigate obstacles with ourselves and our partners when things go awry. From deprogramming, through to advocating for more openess and authenticity, the conversation gets as philosophical as ever, intentionally offering potential for people hoping to grow and evolve. If Newtonian Physics versus Quantum Science wasn't high brow bullshit enough, there's mention and alignment of the superiority of heart over mind. Before accordance is declared that whatever we believe we definitely keep on trying to blow the locked gate off the asylum and get free flowing with some disbelieving.
