Fear of the unknown – the EU debate

This week Ed and I were talking about the EU referendum and the Brexit campaign and the fear that we hear around us about the fear of change and the unknown. Are you a ‘innie’ or an ‘outie’? Most of the people around me are talking about our relationship with Europe from the fear of […]

Are you selfish enough?

You are being selfish, is that so bad? Is it wrong to be paying attention to your own wants, needs, and well-being? If you believe that selfish behaviour is immoral or bad then you may be just missing the point. The question is what is life all about? When you were born your life was, […]

Stop Trying to Be Perfect

Do you need to be perfect or are you perfect as you are right now? I am walking down the road and looking at the people coming towards me. I am surprised by the amount of women who are obviously ‘Botoxed’ and have fillers creating that ‘trout pout’ look. To me they look ugly and […]

This week Ed and I got a message asking if we could have a look at why do we cheat in relationships. “Why do men cheat? Why do women cheat? Is it such a bad thing? Is cheating ever good for a relationship? How should we react when our partner cheats? Should we take it […]

Alone or Lonely?

Many people when they wake have such a fear of, or antipathy to silence that they need to fill the space around them with sound. On goes the radio, TV or MP3 player, the day has begun. I am not suggesting that we should not listen to things though it might benefit us to look […]

How to Combat Social Anxiety

The neuropsychology of anxiety – Worry or Fear? There is, I feel, some confusion about anxiety and its sibling panic attacks. I’d like to try in this blog and explain a bit about how the brain works, emotion and the appropriateness of different forms of therapy. At a scientific level our understanding of neuropsychology and […]

Free Will vs Determinism

Are the things that happen to you your choice or are they already determined? Do you have a future you can create or a destiny that you cannot? Is your life and the things that will and have happened to you a written script that has already been written or do you have free will? […]
