  • #28 Trust

    Today we talked about TRUST.

    Trust is an essential component of any successful relationship or organization. Trust  allows us to work together, to believe in the promises of others, and to feel secure in our interactions. Whether it is trust in our colleagues, trust in our leaders, or trust in our institutions and politicians, trust is the glue that holds us together.
    In this podcast, we will explore different facets of trust, and look at how trust is built, maintained, and restored.

  • #25 Archetypes and Storytelling

    In todays episode we talk about Hugh's  process of finishing his book. He also shares about his wild experience of hosting storytelling events in London. We come across Tarot Reading and how it is linked to archetypes, which are understood as universal, inborn models of the personality. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung's theory suggested that "All the most powerful ideas in history go back to archetypes.“   Interesting ...  exciting even ....

  • #23 Everything is breaking and everything will be fine

    Today we talk about the book Hugh is currently writing with the working title “Everything is breaking and everything will be fine”. The title gives a hint of  the wealth of topics it traverses.  It is filled with true and traditional  stories about hypnosis, therapy and language from Uzbekistan to Los Angeles and from Health & Safety to Lindy Hop. It is a rewarding book about the hard path  from knowledge to understanding, like a large slice of a rich and delicious chocolate cake. ;)

  • #22 How to get out of therapy

    Today we discuss therapy:  how to get in to it,  and how how to get out of it.   

    How can you find the right therapist?
    What flavour is right for you?    
    What is the significance of all the different types of psychotherapy?
    Is there anything else we can do if we don't want to go into therapy?
    There are no perfect people, so there are no perfect therapists - but does it matter if the therapist themselves has had therapy?
    Is that good or bad?   Listen in to catch some opinions and feel free to email us your own.... at [email protected] or [email protected].

  • #21 Stumbling on the Path to Spirituality

    The PowerHouse sets off on a spiritual path!  - well sort of...   

    Today we look at spirituality.  What is it and why does it cause so much confusion?
    We don't talk about religion,  but we do touch on why and how it is difficult to be honest,  on the trap of goals, and the value of principles.
    The great Jay Haley once said,  "We cannot not influence each other."  If that is true, how do we live with it?Listen in, have fun, and please send us feedback at [email protected] or [email protected].

  • #20 Doing nothing is not a bad option

    We all want to  "Do the Right Thing", but the phrase can be misleading.  The secret of life, like comedy, is timing: maybe right now  is not the right time to do the right thing.    And sometimes, in fact, the right thing to do  is nothing.    Maybe we do not  have to react to every incoming question, request or provocation.  Salesmen love to tell you that their offer is a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity, in order to convince you to buy.   It may be better to wait for the next 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to come along.

    Today we explore inaction as a path to fulfillment.
