Recorded a podcast to give example of work that can take place in first sessions of therapy. It gives you the option of developing your own formulation also.

Accidentally stood on a slug yesterday and noticed this other slug at the scene of the crime this morning. Grieving life partner or opportunistic cannibal? I’ve not had breakfast yet, so please no necrophilia or ‘do like a Hermaphrodite & go F yourself’ type responses please.

Looks like a scene from a horror film but just discovered our first ever Mulberry tree. Possibly the most delicious fruit I’ve ever tasted. And I’ve eaten apples.
We hope you find the Thinking About Therapy Podcast helpful. Here’s a link to a psychological formulation template and ‘workbook’ type resource: drive.google.com/drive/folde…

If interested in hiring a fantastic sound engineer & musician, then my colleague David Beatty can be contacted directly on [email protected] David dramatically improved my appalling D.I.Y. recordings & created the music to accompany the episodes, so he comes highly recommended.

Alongside this Twitter account, I’ve set up a Reddit thread under the #ThinkingAboutTherapy heading. In addition to sharing resources, there’s the option of using Twitter or Reddit as forums where listeners might want the option to interact, discuss and support each other.

There’s an abundance of therapists with their own styles, theoretical backgrounds and experience to choose from out there. So if looking, I hope you find a therapist who’s a good fit for you and you find the experience of therapy helpful.

Also if you are thinking about trying therapy and first listen to my podcast ramblings, then please don’t let me put you off. These #ThinkingAboutTherapy episodes are just about my way of supporting people as best I can in therapy.

If thinking about past/current difficulties can get upsetting, or if you feel actual therapy or input from mental health professional, then please take care of yourself, try to get the right support if needed and give serious thought to avoiding listening to these episodes.

The podcast invite you to think about potentially distressing problems, so caution is warranted.

These ‘Thinking About Therapy’ podcast episodes will also give you the option of developing your very own ‘Psychological Formulation’ if this is something that you are interested in doing.
