The Irreverent Therapists

iOM Radio Network - OMTimes

What if living didn’t have to be so serious? What if you could move beyond your problems with greater confidence and ease than you’ve ever imagined? Throw your labels out the window, get ready for change that comes from empowerment and joy, and prepare for the great baggage disappearing act. The Irreverent Therapists, Pam and Marilyn, have over 40 combined years as psychotherapists. After working with hundreds of people, both became aware that there were other ways of looking at and changing the issues that clients brought to the office. Instead of processing thoughts and feelings and the past endlessly, Pam and Marilyn use practical tools and very different perspectives to assist clients in creating the changes they desire. What if things like depression and addiction are less about disease and failure and more about coping mechanisms to deal with beliefs of being inherently wrong and not fitting in? What if you could actually be supported to become the unique and different being that you are? Moving beyond any ideas of being “less than”, you can come to a space where you begin to trust you to know what is true for you rather than giving your power to “the experts”. The Irreverent Therapists have the ideas and information to empower you to do that! Join us on Wednesdays at 7pm Eastern on The Irreverent Therapists Show. With nothing sacred or off limits, the Irreverent Therapists cover a variety of topics and are always interested in your questions and feedback. Listen Live every Wednesday at 7PM ET on http://omtimes.com/iom

Turning Misconceptions Upside Down: A Fresh Look with The Irreverent Therapists

“The thing that I always say to people is: no matter what, don't diminish you, and that doesn't mean that you have to fight for the rightness of your point of view.”

Ever felt like you're just not getting it right, no matter how hard you try? Pam Hodling and Marilyn Bradford, the spirited minds behind 'The Irreverent Therapists', dive into this all-too-common feeling in their episode 'Are You Really F__ed Up Or Just Uninformed?'. They tackle the idea that maybe, just maybe, everything you think you know is upside down. What if you're not actually wrong but simply misinformed? Intriguing, right?

Pam and Marilyn, with over 40 years of combined experience in psychotherapy, bring a refreshing perspective to the table. Instead of endlessly rehashing past traumas, they offer practical tools and new ways of thinking to help you break free from the labels and beliefs that hold you back. They argue that cultural and familial expectations often shape our self-perception in ways that can be more harmful than helpful.

Through engaging anecdotes and practical advice, they encourage listeners to question who their thoughts and beliefs truly belong to. Are they really yours, or are they inherited from society and family? They also discuss the heavy toll judgment takes on our self-expression and awareness. One of their key messages is to stop diminishing yourself.

As Pam puts it, 'No matter what, don't diminish you', - a powerful reminder that self-worth isn't about proving you're right but about embracing who you are. This episode is perfect for anyone feeling weighed down by societal expectations or struggling with self-doubt. Pam and Marilyn's light-hearted yet profound approach makes complex topics accessible and actionable. So, if you're ready to flip your perspective and start living a life rooted in joy and empowerment, this episode is a must-listen.
