I have started a series of free podcasts that I call: ‘Taking the Mystery Out of Therapy’. You can find them on my Substack (the link below is to the first episode on Substack). I also post them Spotify and on my YouTube channel.
My aim in this series is to share with everyone, free of charge, everything that my clients learn in therapy. The framework of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) that I use in my work should be available to all. Many people can begin to apply the same practice that my clients are using to enjoy the same results that lead to growth towards our innate potential and to robust mental health. Most people can live anxiety-free, recover from past traumas and fulfil their potential. Our psychology is too important to leave to chance and given what we know now, there is no longer any excuse for psychotherapy and psychology to remain a mystery that most people don’t understand. So I tell all.
Real psychotherapy is not about fixing people—most people are perfectly healthy and don’t need ‘fixing’. Psychotherapy is a process that supports people to change the architecture of their brain so that they can get back on the path to optimal development—the path they would have been on if they were given all the ingredients they needed to develop into their full humanness. If that wasn’t available in childhood, neuroplasticity enables most people with a healthy brain to begin to grow and recover at any stage in life.
There are seven episodes so far and I try to release a new episode every Wednesday. In the first two episodes I used a script but from the third episode onward I just speak naturally. You can write comments or questions in the comments section on all three platforms, or send me an email to: podcasts@fullyhuman.co.uk The podcasts will always remain free and you are welcome to share them widely.
