In this brilliant chat with Psychotherapist Lorraine Hackett we discuss therapy from the Irish perspective, why bother with therapy if you don’t feel you have a mental illness, what’s the potential benefit ,the traps we fall into as men and women and how a deeper self-awareness can help you develop a more rich fulfilling life. Side note: I quite enjoyed how we used the word logic as a verb throughout the conversation #wordplayisfun

This episode we share Krystian Fikert's story, Polish national who came to Ireland and created an award winning social enterprise in mental healthcare called MyMind. We discuss the long difficult road from coming to Ireland without having his qualifications in psychology recognised to turning his hand at any work to finally realising his vision for better, more accessible mental healthcare services in our Republic. It's a triumphant story of perseverance, vision and not giving up when the path inevitably gets tricky.

It's interesting to see what people who do well have in common but it's also useful to explore what puts barriers between us and being the version of ourselves that we want to be. For my life growing up unacknowledged mental health problems is something that carried to my adult years. I'll discuss this and more in this solo cast.
