Lady Time

In this episode Carole talks to trauma expert Susanna Sweeney about her midlife experience, what is was like growing up in East Berlin and about her different techniques she uses to help people with trauma in a shorter time than talk therapies.

Susanna Sweeney has been helping people change their lives for over 25 years. She is a Sensorimotor Psychotherapist, also trained in EMDR and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. More recently, she has added Havening Techniques to her toolbox.

She helps people overcome the effects of all kinds of trauma right down to the more difficult to spot but pervasive effects of developmental (childhood) trauma in ultra short term therapy programmes.

Any frustrations in life such as feeling unfulfilled in business and life, or symptoms such as anxious feelings, or low mood, even chronic pain usually link back to some event that has been traumatically encoded by the brain.

Susanna sees it as her mission to help her clients overcome these symptoms and frustrations so they can increase their enjoyment levels in life and their earning potential in business.

Having fallen in love with Havening Techniques, she now also trains people professionals and those to be in this wonderful modality that’s already actively changing the face of the therapy, healing and coaching space.

Rab is my next door neighbour! We've had many's a chat across the fence (or wall in our case) but this time we put some structure on it and saved it for Lady Time. I hope you enjoy Rab's take on toxic masculinity, a subject he truly considers especially as a father of two boys, along with an interesting take on his journey through writing and the struggle to make an income from it. However, despite that and having reached middle age, a time when  artists often give up (or sometimes have no choice) his desire to create is as strong as ever, it's something he simply must do.

One of six girls Rebecca grew up amidst a lively & cultured family where dinner table conversations were always interesting and you had better have something to say! So it was no surprise she ended up in the storytelling arena as a film producer, not necessarily an easy career to have chosen and certainly not for women in the time she started out but this never phased Rebecca, in fact it never occurred to her she couldn’t do it. She tells us of that experience and of another more poignant one trying to become pregnant in the aftermath of overcoming ovarian cancer in her late 20s. Join us for an engaging conversation with Rebecca looking back over her life from the vantage point of midlife.

James Finney hails from the UK, is one of the 40 odd million outside of Ireland with Irish roots and is also our third man to share a cuppa on Lady Time. We are very lucky to have him ... and you’ll find out why when you listen in. He has a lot to share while taking us on a colourful journey through his midlife. He tells us of the bouts of depression he has lived through over the past 25 years and of being a father to a child with life challenges. Although he is not one (but easily could’ve been) James encompasses the essence of a comedian with a core that speaks volumes about the pain of the human condition yet somehow manages to deliver it all with humour… even in the face of death.

A quote from Nicolette Sowder describes Chris Molloy to me 'Give me the wild children with their bare feet and sparkling eyes',  Chris describes herself as having been a wild child, she became a mother while she was still at school. Having a child  so young presented many challenges that Chris overcame, she  went to college and started work in the financial sector and then in recruitment and she got married and had more children.  Chris loved going to yoga classes and a few years ago she trained as a yoga teacher and she now has a very successful teaching practice using her skills and time in the business sector to help her with her teaching practice.  Chris teaches online and when there are no covid restrictions she loves to teach outdoors in parks, in studios, in companies and in colleges.  She also is involved in a new program with the national maternity hospital for young teenage mothers. You can find Chris on line at chrismolloyyoga.com, insta @chrismolloyyoga and facebook chrismolloyyoga and linkedin Christine Molloy
