Hi everyone,
I have a very special pod-cast for you to listen to. In this one I interview psychotherapist, Richard Curen. Richard is someone I know very well as he is my brother.
We discuss the complex subject of human behaviour and look to shed some light on why we think, feel and act in certain ways. We talk about how we are not set in stone and how we can break habits and patterns and change for the better.
Richard is the director of Respond, a national charity working with people with learning difficulties who are the victims or perpetrators of abuse. To find out more about the charity click here.
If you find this pod-cast useful then please make some comments below and I will pass them on to Richard.
Take good care
Pete

You and your brother sound so very alike - it was a lovely conversation and full of useful tips and information that will help a great many more people!
Thank you very much,
Best wishes,

It's great to have it confirmed that all this blogging is therapy and cathartic! Even though I've suspected for ages that it is! I have always written things down if I have something on my mind BUT I have never published anywhere for all the world to see until this programme. The things that I have worked out in my head through doing this, AND the support I have had therein has meant a turning point in my life - and that's no exaggeration!
Like Richard says, knowing that other are experiencing the same thoughts and emotions is a great relief and it's wonderful when they can suggest ways of dealing with these things.
Bottom line is it's wonderful to know that you CAN change your characteristics to become the person that you want to be instead of tolerating a personality that you aren't happy with!!
Now I too, am exceptional!! :))
Ive just lisened to the podcast - very interesting.
It has made me really aware of how I bring my children up. I like to think I am a good mum, but this podcast has made me so aware of how much of an influence I do actually have on the shape of my children's futures.
I now realise that i became uncomfortable with myself because of the weight I had gained, and so became conscious of what others might think of me. It's time to sort that out now.
Brilliant podcast, very thought provoking.
Thankyou

And they've both taught me that being a parent is one big learning experience - and it goes on and on. I'm still learning !
Seize the day everyone.

Pat on the back Dolly and hubby - you must have done something right!
What a fantastic podcast! As someone who works on an eating disorders helpline and training as a psychotherapist, this podcast is spot on. I particularly liked the language used to explain this to people (easy to understand)-technical language is so off putting. Thank you Richard .......this should be broadcast to a wider audience.....particularly in schools. People just need to be heard and validated, it's as simple and yet as complex as that.
Thanks for sharing
Mike
You are a great man
Love
Pete
So thank you both :)
Take care
Pete
Sally, get your trainers on, we need to practice for the marathon! x
