In this episode, I’m joined by Professor Paul Gilbert and Professor Jeremy Holmes. Paul is the developer of Compassion Focused Therapy and one of the world’s leading clinical psychologists studying the scientific application of compassion in therapeutic practice. Jeremy is an award winning attachment expert, clinician, and author, whose books include: In Search of the Secure Base, Attachment & Psychotherapy, and most recently The Spirit of Psychotherapy. 

In this wide ranging discussion, we explore:

— The difference between “safety” and “safeness” and why this is vital to understand in therapeutic practice

— How early attachment dynamics shape our developmental trajectory and relationships throughout life

— How attachment theory helped to form the theoretical foundations of Compassion Focused Therapy.

And more.

Guided meditation: Attachment & Letting Go with Jeffrey Williams

The 58th episode from Doing Me Thing Podcast is available to listen to right now; nature has a beautiful way of teaching us and this is exactly what happened with me as i was driving the peninsulas of Cork when i was gazing at the beautiful vastness of the land of Ireland; i noticed that i didn't have any feelings of attachment, i was just connected to the beauty of it all; i then asked the question why i didn't have attachment to this, and what dawned on me was the fact that i don't own it and all i seen was the beauty; so in this episode i talk about how having ownership and the attachment to it can stop you from seen the beauty in that thing you "own and are attached too" 

Thanks for taking the time to listen to this podcast, please feel free to share it with anyone you may feel will benefit from the podcast, feedback is always welcome and if you have any questions or anything just give us a bell.

Much-love;
Patrick-joseph.

DMT Podcast Ep: 58 with Patrick-joseph (there's no beauty in ownership & attachment)

Dr. Reedy explains communication theory and the deeper psychological principles required for connection. He warns against using communication skills to change others and emphasizes that such skills can improve self-awareness first. They can also help us to remember to own our feelings (they are ours). He talks about listening and how it requires a significant amount of psychic energy.

Communication and Connection – Ep 655

Dr. Reedy takes questions on topics from the audience. He discusses what to do when our adult children seem to be going off course. He talks about how we can learn to be our most authentic self and how to protect that journey by the company we keep.

How Can I Learn to Be More Authentic? (A.M.A.) – Ep 656

In this episode I am so pleased to welcome Ian Morgan Cron to the podcast. While he wears many hats, as he shares in this episode, the fundamental nature of his work is a spiritual one. Ian is Bestselling Author, Enneagram Expert, Priest, and the host of the Typology Podcast. After many years in recovery and in the wake of a relapse, he released his most recent book, The Fix. In it, he reveals how the twelve wteps can be key for anyone who wants to take their life back. 
Richard Rohr says about his newest book, “Ian Cron’s generous and hard-earned wisdom reveals that the Twelve Steps are not just for alcoholics and addicts, but a path to a profound transformation of Self for everyone.” In the this interview we cover a wide variety of topics including God and family, making an amends, how his various roles overlap and complement each other, his experience with shame (in real-time), and how he leans into his personal story to inform his work and hopefully make himself useful to the people he loves and serves.

He shares practical, accessible skills and concepts to help people incorporate Buddhist teachings into their life in an attempt to reduce unnecessary suffering. In this episode, Noah discusses his favorite principles from Buddhism and how we can think about enlightenment. He shares his personal journey and provides listeners an overview of the goals and objectives of the practice of Buddhism.

An Interview with Noah Rasheta (Secular Buddhism Podcast Host) - Ep 659

In this episode, Dr. Reedy discusses religious trauma and what kinds of family systems are at the greatest risk. He distinguishes religion from moral development and spiritual development. He talks about how families with dogmatic, strict-father-styles use religion to control, intimidate, and mold their children. He discusses how religion can be used as a defense against the experience of God and how religion can prevent spiritual development. He discusses the function of religion within a spiritual life. He talks about how many clients come to therapy with a history of religious trauma.

Religious Trauma – Ep 658

In this episode, Dr. Reedy discusses how so many clients are coming to therapy with great worries and distress due to the tumultuous events in the world. He suggests that we need to become more discerning with the news we consume. He proposes that peace is found by focusing on what we can control. He talks about the Buddhist concepts of impermanence, radical acceptance, and mindfulness.

Finding Peace in Uncertain Times - Ep 660

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Dr. Reedy takes questions from the audience on topics ranging from how we communicate our energy to our children, making the unconscious – conscious, debunking the cause and effect thinking, and how small-t trauma is insidious. He answers a question on shadow work. And he talks about how to handle the mistakes we have made as parents when our children remain angry.

Why is “Small-t” Trauma So Insidious. (A.M.A.) – Ep 661
