Clare's Podcast on psychotherapy: Recent Episodes

Clare

These podcasts will we hope give some enlightenment for people who want to regain themselves from the inside out. It is not theoretical, it's not heady, actually it is from the grass roots level of our perception. We will try to answer any questions in subsequent podcasts.Just email us at psychotherapyballinderry@gmail.com with any questions you might like to ask and we will try to cover them in future podcasts. Namaste

Hi everyone,

Sorry I've been away for a few weeks, time is just running by so fast these days. So this weeks subject comes from James from the West of Ireland and I'd like to thank him for getting me to really look at the complexities around the brutality of truth.

I'm actually away on 10 days of solitude so this will be the last for a couple of weeks. However, please send in your ideas and suggestions and I'll get them when I get back.

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Hello everyone,

Well now here is this weeks episode and I really hope you gain some insight as to your own way of being. It is a subject that we are all guilty of using when triggered but hopefully with new insight or questions we can move forward into responding differently.

Have fun........... and please forgive any mistakes or microphone issues (see how I can pass the buck to an inanimate object) Ha! Ha!

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Well another episode to tickle your knowledge taste buds. This week I am going to thank myself for the subject. It is a subject that I've heard people talk about but giving no knowledge around it. So here is my lame attempt.

Have fun and try to remember to be kind to one another this week in how we communicate to each other.

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Well now the Fleadh is over in Mullingar and the traffic is almost back to normal. I wish all those visitors a safe journey home (those who are only leaving this weekend).

The subject is a subject that I was asked to cover from Sara in Egypt (name of course means princess), I do hope I have given you at least a starter for a journey that can be so rewarding.

As usual let me know if you have any comments or suggestions and have a fabulous weekend everyone.

Stay well and stay safe

Hi Everyone,

Here is a subject that we can all relate to on one level or another. I was looking at the alter ego and came across this so I thought it would be good to share it.

Have fun.........and be honest with yourselves

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Thanks to Geraldine from the USA for this weeks subject. I hope I have given you all some understanding of why it is important to always use the ABC - in other words to Always Be Curious about even your own way of being and how you are in the world at being your genuine, real self.

Have a wonderful week everyone

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all enjoying the wonderful weather we've been having.

This weeks episode is all about power within relationships and how they can be unhealthy. It I hope will give you pause for questioning your own relationships within your daily lives and maybe even making some changes that will be more beneficial for everyone. If not then it might just make you aware of how you are within those relationships.

I'm open to any suggestions or ideas any of you may have.

So stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all enjoying the wonderful weather we are experiencing at present. Let it be that you allow it to spend some time in the fabulous nature around you.

Role play is the subject this week and thank you to Jasmine from Venice (yes you heard me right). I didn't know I had listeners that far away.....it's brilliant

Stay well and stay safe everyone

Namaste

Hi everyone,

First and foremost I want to apologize for the lateness of this podcast due to a family bereavement and to thank all those who sent there condolences , I really appreciated your kindness.

I want to thank Stephen for this weeks subject and hopefully Stephen I have given you some answers that make sense.

Toxic relationships are tough but remember to ask yourself - am I contributing to the toxicity of the relationship?

Stay well and stay safe everyone

Namaste

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry that I haven't been around for the past few weeks - I had to take some time off from the podcast due to some medical issues that arose and that I had to deal with. Thankfully now I am back in the saddle again and please God I won't have any more issues for a little while.

This weeks podcast is something that I have noticed with people over the last year or so and I wanted to make it known and it's about Seasonal Affective Disorder which can happen at any seasonal change but more specifically between Autumn and winter, or at least that is when we notice it more. However, I have noticed that for different reasons it can happen at any time during the changing of all the seasons.

So have a wonderful weekend and remember we are not alone on this planet and must look after those around us with compassion, love and understanding.

Stay well, stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Thanks to John for the suggestion this week and I really hope that I've managed to answer some of your queries around it. If I haven't please let me know or ask a question to elaborate on and I'll do my best.

It is all about how we behave from the drama triangle which is either as a Victim, a Rescuer or a Persecutor either towards myself or others.

Have a wonderful Easter and may you hold back on eating a load of chocolate ......

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a fantastic St. Patrick's day and may the whole weekend be a relaxing one for each of you.

Don't we all wonder if travelling into our past is necessary to move forward......sooooo exciting

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi Everyone,

Sorry about the delay I'm having a little me day.........

Well now here is our episode on Negative Bias which can be sad in many different ways but it still comes down to the same thing.....we are influenced by our own negative thought pattern and we only have ourselves to blame for not changing it.

Hope it is of benefit to you all as much as it was to me when I was researching it......

Have a wonderful week......

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the delay this week but personal events overtook me a little bit.

Hope you have a wonderful Bank Holiday and have some fun.

This weeks subject is thanks to John and Majorie and I hope I have covered for you the basics. If not just let me know.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the 6th Series of my podcast - can you believe it - I had only planned on one or two.

I have to say hello to all the listeners around the world that I didn't know existed until I got the statistics this week and was shocked as to where I was being listened from.... so thank you everyone who passed these onto people, as it seems to have taken legs and gone abroad.

Have a wonderful week

Stay safe and stay well everyone

Namaste

Happy New Year everyone,

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas season and I wish you all a very beautiful year to come.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste
P.S. please forgive any mistakes on the recording...I nearly forgot how to do it Ha! Ha!

Hi everyone,

Happy Christmas to you all and may 2023 be a fabulous one for each of you. May you all be granted whatever wish you desire from the deepest part of your heart.

Have fun, engage in the very positive aspects of the season and may you all stay safe and healthy.

Namaste

Hi everyone

Happy weekend to you all - even if it is nearly over....

Well we all know that laughing is nice but what does it actually mean to us in our everyday lives. Well Fiona I hope this gives you some answers if not just let me know.

Have a wonderful week everyone and I will be back with you in 2 weeks as I am up to my tonsils nextweek and won't get a chance to do the podcast. So I will start off the 6th Series with well you'll just have to wait and hear what I have planned. Please feel free to follow me on facebook as one never knows what surprises might be there.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Well hello everyone,

I'd like to ask you all to do me a favour - as it is coming up to the end of the year could I remind you to email me your jokes for this year - (Please remember to keep them clean) and I can add them to the list for our end of year special episodes.

Now here is this weeks episode and I think we will all have tried to chase this over our lives but maybe this will give you a better understanding of how to gain it for real.........

Have fun and please remember

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Well hello everyone,

Isn't it a fabulous season we're having.......the leaves are almost gone, there is a change in the temperature and we're all beginning to put on extra layers......my faviourite season is coming .......Winter

So here we go with this weeks episode....enjoy and please let me know if you have any suggestions, ideas or questions.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hello everyone,

I have to apologse first and foremost for my voice this week - I have not been well over the last week and am only today coming back to some form of normal. Thank you for your patience and your kind get well wishes.

This weeks subject really taught me something and that is around how we don't normally listen to ourselves. That much more often than not we listen to everyone elses' needs and deny our own.

So take heed if you need to and please share with me how you listen to your own inner voice whether that is negative or positive. I would love to hear how and if you listen to that normally denied part of you.

Stay safe and stay well everyone

Namaste

Well hi everyone,

This weeks subject is a little bit of a challenge for each of us. We may want to ask ourselves when have I done this in my life and if I haven't - did I ever want to?

Hope it answers some of Jemma's questions around it both from the person doing it to the person or group on the receiving end of it.

Let me know what you think and if I misunderstood anything.......feel free to let me know your thoughts on it or if it happened to you.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Well hello everyone,

I'm aware that we have a few new listeners on board so a very fine welcome to you all. This weeks subject is a follow on from our subject last week on assertiveness, so I do hope that you all enjoy it - and when I say enjoy I mean I hope you get time to listen, learn and live (my 3 L's).

Thank you all again for listening in and watch out for your Attention Seeking Behaviour both in yourself and from other people especially those closest around you - learn not to react but to help, to be patient and to be genuine.

Stay safe, Stay well

Namaste

Well hello everyone,

Slight change in subject this week. I had planned on doing one but when Siobhan requested this one I thought you know this would go better before the other in order to set us up for a greater understanding........so thank you Siobhan and I hope it will give you some insight and if not just ask.

Hope you all have a wonderful week and I'll chat ya all next week with Attention seeking behaviour.......

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Although this weeks subject episode starts off in a happy tone, it will seem rather strange that I go into this weeks subject of Anticipatory Grief.

I had planned a different subject for this week but Margaret sent me a request about how to explain what it is she is feeling around her husbands diagnosis of Stage 4 cancer. So although I make a light hearted beginning I want you to know that the main subject itself is a very serious one and demands our attention because it could happen to any of us around loss.

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Firstly let me apologise for this weeks podcast as I've got a cold so my voice is a little off. So please forgive any mistakes or sound issues that might be present.

Thank you Bert for giving this weeks subject and I hope you have gotten something from it that will answer your question.

As usual please feel free to pass it on to anyone that you think might benefit from it.

Stay well and stay safe everyone

Namaste

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying the wonderful weather. I think we all need to be happy especially now when we all need time together doing things that make us happy.

Subject this week is about rudeness, meanness and disrespectfulness, both to us from others and from ourselves towards both others and ourselves.

Thank you to Mable for seeking out this subject and I hope it will answer some of your questions.

Stay safe and stay well everyone

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Here I am again but this time a subject that is close to my heart, MUSIC. This week thank you to John who gave the subject and I do hope that I have given some form of insight and future curiosity to the subject.

Have a wonderful week everyone and I'll be hearing from someone later in the week for the subject...........at least I hope I do Ha! Ha!

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hello everyone,

Yes I'm back and thank you to all of you who sent me get well wishes, I really appreciated it. Thankfully it wasn't COVID but it ran a close second from an energy point of view.

This weeks subject is actually coming from my own self this week and the experience I have just had of my own blind spot. So I really hope it will be of benefit to all my listeners and please pass it on if you feel it will help someone see what they already know but deny and/or avoid.....and have fun with it.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi there everyone,

Great to hear from some of you and the feedback. Thank you so much I really appreciate it.

Here is this weeks episode which is on Relationships and although it is mainly about romantic relationships I do try to ensure that you see it from the point of view of any relationship you have.

Have fun with it and please feel free to pass it on:

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Happy Saturday to you all,

So this weeks subject is all about our dreams and I hope to answer some of the questions that were asked by several listeners over the past week.

I will also at the end of this put a link to Kathleen Duffys interview that I promised.

So sit back, lay down, walk whatever you do to help you listen to what you need to hear in this podcast and enjoy.

Stay safe and stay well

Well hello everyone,

Isn't it wonderful weather. Sun one minute, windy the next and then a monsoon after that or sometimes it comes altogether.......what a lovely country we live in - - so diverse

Here we go with episode 7 of our 5th Series and it's all about emotional overload (and a few more little inserts).

Please feel free to pass it on if you think anyone would benefit from it and you can let me know if there is anything you would like me to mention at any point and I'll do my best.

Stay safe and stay well

Hi everyone,

Just to apologise to you for not having a podcast last week as I was unwell and decided to take my own advise and although not entirely well again I felt better enough to put together this weeks episode which I have to thank Lisa for and I hope that it answers some of her questions.

So sit back or go for a walk or just have a cuppa tea and listen to what this week is about which is something we are all guilty of...............

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Yep we have another subject for you to get your teeth into (so to speak) and it's all about eating but especially complusive eating. I thank loui for this and as I've lost the email I apologise if I've got this wrong but please if you are the person who emailed me please let me know if I have gotten your name wrong and I will correct it in the next episode.

So sit back or enjoy your walk but most of all use the information to connect with the obvious your feelings and emotions.

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

It's so good to be back I'm so happy......

This weeks subject is something we all do at times but there are people who have been doing it from a very young age....hiding themselves from their own emotions.

I hope it helps to answer Niomia's question around hiding from our emotions and the connections between our body sensations and emotions.

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

HAPPY EASTER to you all..........

Here is this weeks subject which as we are in the Easter season I think it's very apt to answer Joes question about faith and religion and what it means.

Hello everyone,

It's our 18th episode of our 4th Series......I can't believe it's almost 3 years old Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well this weeks subject is as a result of a conversation I had with my sisters today and it was wonderful so I would like to thank Abbey and Tare for their huge impression on this subject and thank them for allowing me to be able to use it.

It is a very simple view of something that we all experience and live out of at times and that is emotional immaturity.......

So without further ado as usual just follow the link and enjoy.

Stay well and stay safe

Welcome to the 1st part of our podcast this week which is on Frustration and Irritation with illness.

I apologise firstly for being late and secondly for the quality of my voice during this podcast. I have a problem at present with an infection on my vocal cords which makes me sound a little like Lurch from the Adams Family (those of you who are of my generation will remember him if not google it)

I will conclude this subject next week.

Stay safe and stay well

Hi everyone,

So sorry I'm late again but the good news is that I'm still here and am still breathing quite well thank you. No just kidding, I've been up to my ttttttonsils with other stuff that I thought I had done but alas had actually forgotten.....

But enough about me how is everyone doing? Hope you are all gearing yourselves for a fabulous season of pain, anxiety and just down right busy time of the year. Have fun and enjoy it.

This weeks subject will not mean much to you all depending on your view of your own reputation but to many it is a very important way when looking outward. I would suggest that you take some notes for yourselves to remind you that it is all you have when everything else is taken away from you. So please listen and I hope that it gives you an insight into your own reputation or where you might need to adjust.

And again please feel free to email this or any other episode to anyone you think might gain some insights or enlightenment in their own lives.

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Now I'm a day early ----- only because I'm getting my booster jab tomorrow so I wanted to have this with you incase I don't feel able to do it tomorrow.

Part 2 of Family Dynamics looking at the different roles within the family that we take up as children. However, we will all still behave out of these roles in adulthood especially if we haven't looked at them or dealt with them.

So enjoy and hopefully you will get something from them. Please let me know if there is anything you want covered in these podcasts or if you find you have a question and I will answer it (if I can) through the next podcast.

Please stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi everyone

At least this week I managed to get it on the same day, even if it is slightly late....

This weeks subject is all about family dynamics and how they can influence each member of the family.

We also look at roles in the family.

Next week I will develop each role a little deeper, but this will give you a little taste. I do hope you enjoy it and get something from it.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi everyone,

So sorry about the 24 hour delay I was too busy yesterday to finish this weeks subject.

This weeks subject has been requested by several listeners so I do hope I have answered your questions.

Hi everyone and welcome back,

It is so good to be back in the saddle again. In this first episode of our new series we continue the theme from the prelude episode which was about New Starts and coming into this as having some form of purpose for our life.

I really do hope you enjoy it and gain some insight. And once again please feel free to pass it on to anyone you feel might benefit.

Have a wonderful weekend and coming week. And may the God of your life smile on your every thought.

Stay well Stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Here is the prelude to Series 4.

Enjoy and I hope you will get some enlightenment from it to help you begin a new chapter in your lives.

I will be back on the air on the 11th September with Series 4 as I'm taking a couple of weeks off just to self care and research some more subjects that have already been given to me.

So stay well and stay safe everyone and I'll talk to you on the 11th

Namaste

Hi everyone,

This is our 20th episode of the 3rd series which means that series 3 is over and before you get really upset yes there is a series 4.

This weeks subject is all about having a victim mentality. Do I have one? Yes is the simple answer but do I live out of it all the time? - with most people no - we sometimes need to be and play the victim but we don't stay in it, we move on with life.

However there are people who from a very young age have lived out of it and have spent their lives living out of it even into their adult lives.

But you might just find a little bit of yourself in this so happy listening to you all.
Please forward this to those who you might know that would benefit from it.

And as usual please stay safe and stay well and I'll see you for series 4

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Again sorry about the delay in getting this out to you all.

This weeks subject comes from someone who asked me a very simple question about their life and emotions so I hope it answers that or at least gives some information to go further with it.

Hope you are all enjoying the wonderful wet and cool weather, I'm in my element.

So stay strong with yourselves when looking at yourself and be gentle with your responses.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Again my sincere apologies for being late with this weeks episode as I was caught up with something else all day.

This week is slightly different to my usual where I cover one subject but today I wanted to cover 3 as I believe they are all connected in a very unique way.

Please feel free to contact me about it or any other suggestions, ideas or questions you may have.

Have a wonderful weekend and coming week

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hello everyone and I'm so sorry for the delay in uploading this today I was engaged all day, but however I have managed to finally get here.

Hope you are all enjoying the wonderful weather, but staying safe.

As usual listen and take what you need from it and leave the rest, and if you want to pass it on please feel free.

Have a lovely weekend.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Here is the continuation of last weeks episode on the subject of power.

If you feel you would like me to cover a subject for you please feel free to send in your suggestion/s ideas or any comments.

Also if you know of anyone who would benefit from them please feel free to pass them on or if you want me to include anyone please just drop me a line with that persons email address and I will add them onto the weekly list.

Stay well and please stay safe in this weather

Namaste

Happy Saturday to you all,

I'm so sorry about the delay in this weeks episode I was in meetings all day, but I hope you haven't missed me too much.

This weeks subject may not be for us but we may learn something from it. It was requested by Devina and I thank her for her suggestion.

Have a wonderful walk with me if that is when you listen or if you are having a cuppa tea then enjoy.

Stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hi everyone,

And welcome to this bountiful experience of what goes on in our heads.....actually I just hope that you don't skip over this one as it isn't what it seems.....

This weeks subject is about hoarding and hypocondria and what would these two have to do with each other.....more than you may think.

Have a listen and see if you might just have a touch of these yourself.

Enjoy

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hello everyone

It is so good to see people;e are using these podcasts to enlighten ones daily interactions with both thselves and others. That is what living is all about.

So todays subject is communication and I do hope it helps you to understand how each of us have our own way of communicating with each other. If we understand how we ourselves communicate with others and ourselves we might be a little bit more patient with others who don't communicate the way we do.

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hi everyone,

Thanks to John for his suggestion this week, really appreciate all the thought that went into this question. I hope that I have answered your question.

So who are we and how would we describe ourselves to someone new, someone we've never met before. Try describing yourself in 10 sentences or less without mentioning your marital status, your job or any what you do. See how that goes for you and if you find it difficult then you may need to look at who you think you are.

Have a Wonderful weekend and coming week.

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

Hello everyone and happy Saturday to you all,

Well, here we are at episode 11 and I am going to thank Clare (myself) for this week’s subject. Its all about Self-awareness and how it is so important and necessary. When we better understand ourselves, we have the capacity to experience ourselves as unique and separate individuals. We all know that when we do this it will give us the empowerment, we need to make the changes in our life and help us to build stronger foundations in areas that would like to make some improvements in.

And remember if you have any ideas, suggestions, thoughts or just comments please feel free to email me at ballinderrypsychotherapy@gmail.com

Stay well and stay safe

Hi and welcome to you all,

This week is from Miranda who lives in the USA and her question was What is dependency and how can it affect us if it is all that we live out of? Thank you for that and I really appreciate everyone's suggestions, comments and thoughts. Keep them coming.

So I hope I will have given you some insights into this disorder and if not at least a start into doing some research for yourselves into it.

Stay well and stay safe everyone,

Hello everyone,

Ok so thank you Gemma from Hawaii (nice spot) for suggesting this topic this week. I know I covered it before or at least part of it but this week is coming from a different angle so to speak.

If you have ever experienced or witnessed trauma you know that it will effect everything around us including the people around us, so it is necessary to look at it and decide or choose what it is we need to do to change those effects so that we can live our lives as we were created to do, in peace of mind, in joy and in love.

Stay safe and stay well

Hi everyone,

Again thanks to everyone who has been listening in to the podcasts and the many emails to me I'm really touched by your openness of what you are getting from them.

This week's subject is thanks to Michelle who has been asking questions around both being and meeting self-centeredness. We have all met someone and at times we have also been a self centered person so we all have experience of it in some form.

Please feel free to pass it on to anyone you might think would benefit from it and email me with any further suggestions, ideas or just your thoughts.

Oh and by the way we are continuing our weekly session on spirituality every Friday evening at 7.30 GMT) so please feel free to email me if you would like to become part of that group. It is via Zoom so you can be anywhere in the world.

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to the 11th episode. This weeks theme was asked for by way of trying to understand Romantic relationships coming up to Valentines day.

I hope it is of benefit to some if not all and if you are not in a relationship don't worry you will be (unless to choose not to) and therefore it might give you an idea of what type of partner you would like to meet.

Have fun everyone and please stay safe and stay well

Namaste

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all well and in good health.

This weeks subject is one that we could all say we have a touch of. It is of course Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD as it is commonly known as.

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disorder in which a person has certain thoughts repeatedly (called "obsessions") or feels the need to perform certain routines repeatedly (called "compulsions") to an extent which generates distress or impairs general functioning.

So I would urge you all to listen to this podcast and ask yourself where in my life am I Obsessive, or compulsive........even in a small way

Stay well and stay safe

Namaste

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE,

Welcome back to our Podcasts.

This week we are back to normal and our episode is the 9th of series 2. We got a request for something around dreams. So I have tried to give you just a insight into a requested theme which I have a a great interest in myself.

If you would like to know more about dreams I would suggest a book called awaken to the wisdom of your dreams written by Kathleen Duffy who is an expert in that field along with being a psychotherapist. Check this link out http://www.awakentoyourdreams.com/about

So on behalf of all of us here we want to wish you a fabulous season of Christmas and New Year.

Namaste

Hello and welcome everyone to the 8th episode of our second series.

This week is different to my normal episodes as we are in the season of Christmas and I wanted to look at something that has been asked for in relation to the spirit of Christmas. So I have given you a taste of something a little different.

One of the stories that I have included is about a boy by the name of Christopher Duffley.

In this season of love, hope and faith let us take up our potential and leave behind what is not necessary. Let us see ourselves and others through the eyes of the heart and not our physical eyes
May your God guide you into your own potential and may 2021 allow you to grow into that potential in its fulness.

Stay safe and Stay well

Namaste

Welcome back to our second series. This is episode 3 of our podcast and it looks like we are heading into a subject that most of us know and most of us do.

Fear of failing is something we all know something about and yet as much as we know we don't stop ourselves from fearing it.

Hi everyone,

Before you see the heading and decide that it's not for you and dismiss it, I would urge you to listen to it. It may not affect you but it may well be affecting someone you love and care about. You may actually find that it may just give you an insight into your own eating habits.

And if you know anyone that it maybe useful for please pass it on.

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to our podcast. This is episode 5 in our series and it looks at the affects of emotional and psychological abuse from our childhood and how it can affect us in our adult life.

I want to acknowledge that it can be a difficult subject and if this podcast or any of our podcasts triggers you into questions please feel free to contact me at psychotherapyballinderry@gmail.com and I will be more than happy to try and answer them.

Namaste

Hi everyone,

We are concluding our Inner Child segment today but it's not over, we will be back to it later in the series.

We wanted at this point to develop issues around abuse and how different types of abuse when started in childhood can and does have a very serious impact on us in our adult lives if we are not balanced in our over all self.

We would also ask you to please send your comments, ideas, suggestions or anything else to psychotherapyballinderry@gmail.com and we will make sure to answer them in our next podcast.

Should you be impacted in anyway by the contents please do not hesitate to contact us.

Namaste

Hi everyone,

This episode is a continuation of what we have been discussing around the inner child. It goes a little deeper into were we need to be and how we need to get there.

It also begins the knowledge of what re-parenting is all about.

So enjoy and may you gain whatever you need from it.

As usual any questions or ideas or suggestions please email me at psychotherapyballinderry@gmail.com and we will try to cover them in next weeks podcast.

Namaste

In this episode we look at some of the many ways that we can create the inner child. It takes a look at the possible outcomes in our adult lives, in our thought patterns and behaviour after we have created this inner child.

We have chosen just a few to look at for now but if anyone wants further information about the subject or if you have any suggestions for us please feel free to email us at psychotherapyballinderry@gmail.com

If anything that we have said strikes a cord in you and you wish to take it further as an individual, again feel free to begin your search at our clinics. Just drop us a line at the email above and we will get back to you.

We are two Integrative, Humanistic psychotherapists working in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath and the surrounding areas.

Namaste

This is the first podcast and will we hope give some enlightenment for people who want to regain themselves from the inside out. It is not theoretical, it's not heady, actually it is from the grass roots level of our perception.

We will be in subsequent podcasts answer any questions people might have in regards to psychotherapy or psychotherapy sessions.

Just email us at psychotherapyballinderry@gmail.com with any questions you might like to ask and we will try to cover them in future podcasts.
