In this fascinating episode, Kate is in discussion with Professor Rory O’Connor about his work on suicide prevention. There are lots of urban myths around suicide, and some have persisted over a number of years. What is concerning is that some of the myths from the 1990s still persist today. For example, it’s a myth that people who talk about wanting to kill themselves are not at risk and won’t do it. This is simply not true, research indicates that 40-50% of people who commit suicide have talked about their suicidal thoughts before they killed themselves.

If someone is talking about suicide always take them seriously and try to engage with them to make sure they get the help they require.

‘If you don’t have a therapist there is something wrong with you’ 

In this episode, Kate is speaking with Jason Wasser from Miami. Jason explains why everyone should have a therapist and how it can help you achieve the lifestyle you want and meet the goals you have set. 

Jason explains how working with a therapist and treating the mind, body and spirit is key to achieving the positive connections that enable you to be proactive across all elements of your life. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Jason Wasser’s accreditations include licenced marriage and family therapist and certified neuro-emotional technique practitioner, he has worked across sports, TV, business and the corporate world. 

I believe everyone in the world should have a therapist and coach to help them minimise their life stress and maximise their potential. 

As a systematically trained therapist, there is always going to be the relationship you have with the world and this is based on your beliefs. 

I see everything as a relational dynamic, about what that person wants to have in that dynamic and how I can help them get there. 

There is currently a duality, some people are moving and growing, and some people are just stuck. 

People get stuck in that old school mentality of one size fits all, but this is not applicable today. Therapy for the individual using a varied approach and methodology is vital. 

There no such thing as the absolute truth, just the truth you are co-creating with shared realities around you. 

Radically as the results are seen much quicker. 

My job is to reconnect all those elements that are a disconnect in your mind and body so that you can be proactive instead of going into a fight or flight state of response. 

There are not many therapists that are changing the nervous system response as part of their methodology currently. 

Once I got into the modalities and started practising more integrative medicine and functional nutrition I started to realise your whole nervous system needs to be treated as part of the therapy process. The neuro-emotional technique addresses all these needs. 

Your brain and eyes are processing constantly processing thousands of images, and our rational brain sorts this information into rational categories. 

Your logical brain is not able to process any emotional triggers or memories, and this can result in a response such as your reptilian brain moving you to a fight or flight state if an image triggers an emotional connection or memory. 

The neuro-emotional technique combines a number of techniques and principles from traditional Chinese medicine, chiropractic and applied kinesiology. It is a holistic approach to well-being focusing on imbalances in the structure of the skeletomuscular system, unresolved ‘negative emotional blocks’, toxins in the body and deficiencies in nutrition. 

The body holds on to emotions that it has experienced from the beginning of life to the present time. The subconscious mind remembers all of these experiences, including negative and traumatic ones. 

These emotions can be triggered and translate to pain on a physical level. The physiological status of the body, through the process of remembering, is emotionally replicating a similar physiological state to that experienced in the original event. 

Any good therapist will be looking for the underlying causes that have triggered an illness and sometimes exposure to toxins can be the cause for a range of disorders. The right nutritional intake along with the removal of sources and exposure to toxins can radically alter a person’s level of wellness. 

The crucial point is when they make the link about their emotional health being something more than just chemicals in their brain. 

I believe everything is mind body and spirit and along with that belief, I know we carry around an intersection of things we’ve been carrying around since we were born alongside intergeneration themes. 

I ask my clients to think differently and consider what if this is not biochemically theirs but something their family has had over generations, an ‘emotional muscle memory pattern’ and they can be the person who can take control of it. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘It doesn’t really matter what your environment is whether you're corporate or performance related I believe everyone should have a therapist to help them get out of their own way’   

‘The people I hang out with are way out of the box’   

‘I can be a therapist and an entrepreneur and help other people’   

‘I see so many money-related therapy blockages’   

‘Entrepreneurship is a radically wild modality’   

‘You don’ t know what you don’t know’   

‘People may look healthy on the outside, but they are not healthy on the inside’   

‘Without a functional assessment and working with a practitioner you’re not going to be able to get the core of things’   

‘If you don’t have a therapist there is something wrong with you’    

‘Therapy is an emotional modality’   

‘We train people how to think differently’
