24.01.2022 Have you ever heard someone say ‘Stop blaming others, what is anger a sign of?’ Probably not, but talking about anger and blame is super important considering that blame actually prevents us from dealing with our issues in life. In other words, blame is pure distraction from what we otherwise need to address within ourselves. In this short video I outline blame as a characteristic feature of anger. Whilst we can all relate to blaming a person or a situation in life, in the end we are the losers because we will not be able to truly move on from that which we are blaming for our lot in life.

23.01.2022 How often do we try to control life? Have we ever asked ourselves why, as in, what are we trying to avoid by being controlling?

20.01.2022 It does not make sense to hold resentment or anger towards someone. Whilst we may think we can justify it, ultimately it reduces our own quality of life and this affects the quality of life we all live in. And what has ever truly been accomplished from that?

20.01.2022 Our body naturally gives us messages about what is supportive and what is not. For example, it will communicate to us that we are tired and it is time for bed. But are we prepared to listen to these messages and make the necessary lifestyle changes required to support ourselves?

17.01.2022 Suicide rates are substantially higher amongst men than women. Could this be related to the accumulated internal tension over time of men not expressing themselves? We all know what it is like to push undealt with issues under the carpet but has this become the default education for dealing with issues that boys and men are taught throughout life? Do we consider the devastating effect this may have over time?

16.01.2022 In this video I talk about how to support someone with anger. Given those with anger issues are actually deeply hurt and are trying to protect their hurt by using anger, a delicate approach is required that offers space for the other to feel safe enough to drop their protection. Supporting someone with anger does not mean becoming submissive to the person with anger in anyway, and it does not involve fighting them either. The key is not so much what we do around the person with anger but in the way we are with them. To view more videos visit the Brendan Mooney Psychology YouTube Channel.

14.01.2022 It takes true courage to express honestly if not truthfully in a world that often pressures us to just accept the status quo, in which we are essentially being told 'this is the way it is done here, do not rock the boat'. But given the current statistics on illness and disease, war, domestic violence, drug abuse and general unrest to name but a few issues within our society, perhaps we ought to rock the boat and even consider the possibility that we are in the wrong waters...

11.01.2022 Self-abuse in its many forms, whether obvious or subtle, is a common everyday experience for many. Have we forgotten that we are worth cherishing, not trashing?

08.01.2022 We all want love, but are we willing to let go of what is not loving in our lives?

08.01.2022 Whilst men may be great at fixing things they are generally underdeveloped when it comes to dealing with unresolved emotional issues, in particular their hurts. As a result men are often totally unequipped on how to deal with life beyond the practical.

05.01.2022 In its simplest form, the purpose of public media is to convey the truth, the facts. Unfortunately less than this if not very far away from it has become commonplace in the media today. Why do we allow the media to publicly ‘name and shame’ our fellow members of society?

03.01.2022 Dealing with someone with anger issues can be challenging but nonetheless is very possible to do. Given those with anger issues are actually deeply hurt underneath and are using anger to protect their hurt, it is possible to relate to that person in a loving way that is in no way taking them on but neither is it backing down. In this video I offer some practical tips on how to deal with an angry person, even though the truth is no-one is naturally an ‘angry person’ as anger is simply something that we do or express but is not innately part of who we are.

02.01.2022 Supporting others ought to never be at our own expense, for how can we support another if we are not supporting ourselves?

02.01.2022 Anxiety is a very common experience for many today. Typical symptoms include restlessness, avoidance of situations and an over-active mind. However it is possible to apply practical strategies to support ourselves to feel equipped to handle life and anxiety.
