ADHD: Procrastination, Forgetfulness and Fighting
Hi and welcome back. I am Darryl and welcome to McCullagh Therapy and welcome to bitesize. Where I will serve up bite-sized portions of inspiration, knowledge, and insight! In this episode, we will be looking at ADHD. This will be a short series on the topic over the next three podcasts. One of my primary jobs as a therapist is to help people understand behaviour. Why? Because without understanding, we often jump to our own conclusions as to why things are happening. – You don’t want to get out of bed this morning? You’re lazy. – You forget to pay that bill last month? You’re irresponsible. – You didn’t do the dishes last…

Why mindfulness matters
Hi and welcome back. I am Darryl and welcome to McCullagh Therapy and welcome to bitesize. Where I will serve up bite-sized portions of inspiration, knowledge, and insight! In this episode, I will explore why mindfulness matters. That ability to clear one’s own mind, to downtime our thought process, to self-care. As a therapist, one of the skills that I often teach my clients is mindfulness. While there are many different definitions of mindfulness, one of the simplest is “being present in the moment without judgement”. Being mindful provides the opportunity to notice what is happening around us and to be aware of our internal response to these events. Mindfulness…

Hi and welcome back. I am Darryl and welcome to McCullagh Therapy and welcome to bitesize. Where we serve up bite-sized portions of inspiration, knowledge, and insight! In this series, I will explore using hypnotherapy for self-sabotage. In wartime, a saboteur would be someone who damaged enemy equipment by slashing the tyres of cars and damaging machinery. There is often an element of stealth and secrecy to the way that sabotage is conducted, so if someone sabotages a political campaign, the identity of the saboteur might go completely undetected. So, what do we mean when we talk about sabotaging ourselves? Does it mean that there is some mysterious, negative, subconscious…
