#188 - ‘The nasty narcissist’

In this pod, I uncover the deceptive mask of the ‘Covert narcissist’. A tricky customer indeed as they so often present as the vulnerable victim! I also run through the abc’s of narcissism, the dark tetrad & all things nasty!

#187 - 'The Shame Game'

Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame! The four distinct faces of shame that all interplay with each other: 1. Toxic shame (ouch!) there is something deeply wrong with me-i am bad. 2. ⁠Invitational shame, opportunity to learn, grow, make amends, deepen empathy & put things right. 3. ⁠The blamers & shamers- they project their own unprocessed toxic shame onto others. Always angry, always looking for the opportunity to be offended! 4. ⁠playful shame. Shame on you 😊 this invites deep healing to meet & embrace our authentic, beautiful selves 🙏❤️🙏 Podcast Editor - Ger Kellett [https://www.instagram.com/ger_kellett?igsh=MWc2c3c4ZDk0Nm8xbQ==] CLICK HERE FOR THE PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE..............

#186 - ‘Hubris or Humility?’

In this episode, I take a close look at two opposing energies in the human personality. What dictates how we present to the world? Arrogant, over confident, inflated, unpleasant, unkind..or lovable, warm, friendly, affable, modest, considerate, balanced & grounded..Are we a mixture of both? Are we naturally one way? Does choice enter the picture? I’l be discussing this & more & as usual we’l have some groovy tunes!

#184 - Do you wanna play safe? Or do you wanna be saved?

Playing safe, following rules & guidelines rigidly, can be a hiding place from real living. Playing psychological games ie: the intellectual, the cynical, the smarmy, entitled victim..grows old & tiresome..being saved on the other hand, requires courage, risking being vulnerable, willingness to walk, jump or dive into the epicentre of human love, relationships & experiences..are you curious? Tune in & also enjoy the wonderful music.
