  • Brilliant podcast, no punches pulled

    Listened now to three or four fascinating recordings. The hosts and speakers are reflective, direct, honest and forthright. It might be unpleasant or upsetting to others but hearing these accounts and giving people a voice makes change more likely. Thank you and keep going.

    This is dissociative disorder that is associated with depression and anxiety and abuse trauma that I am hearing

    As a therapist my hope is she will in time sooth these winds which will not go away but waves of pain will once given a voice may give her the capacity to learn how to deal with her scars

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr Coral Westaway (Video); Why Should Modern Psychology Embrace Energy and Spirituality?
Q: What do you see for the future of energy psychology in mainstream practice?
A convergence of mind, body, and energy across health settings, with holistic well-being becoming the norm and energy work providing a bridge between traditional and alternative approaches.
Dr Coral Westaway (Video); Why Should Modern Psychology Embrace Energy and Spirituality?
Q: Why is it important to attend to the body when addressing mental health?
Because the body houses the energy and emotions; integrating the body helps access the full system, restore flow, and avoid fragmentation that can occur when only cognitive approaches are used.
Dr Coral Westaway (Video); Why Should Modern Psychology Embrace Energy and Spirituality?
Q: How did you come to be interested in energy medicine?
Coral describes a personal and family journey with chronic illness, mainstream medicine, and a quest for modalities that bridged Western science with Eastern and spiritual approaches, ultimately guiding her toward energy psychology.
Dr Coral Westaway (Video); Why Should Modern Psychology Embrace Energy and Spirituality?
Q: Hello there, Coral. So nice to meet you. Can you begin by telling us what is energy psychology?
Energy psychology is an umbrella term that includes techniques working with the body's energy system, integrating it with traditional psychology to move beyond talking therapies and foster rapid, embodied change.
Stephanie Davies (Video); Inside the Mind of a Coroner's Officer Who Challenges Authority and Uncovers Injustice
Q: What was the drive to take your investigations out to scenes and to train others in spotting red flags?
I sought ownership over my files, conducted visits to families, photographed scenes, and taught others how to recognize staged scenes and bloodstain patterns to prevent misinterpretation, especially since UK coroners often lacked such field training.
