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

Choosing Joy: The Irreverent Therapists' Guide to Happiness

“What if happiness is a choice you can make anytime, anywhere, no matter what? And what if that choice for happiness is a contribution to the world?”

Can happiness be a choice, even during tough times? Pam Hodling and Marilyn Bradford, the dynamic duo behind 'The Irreverent Therapists', believe it can. In this thought-provoking episode titled 'Choosing Happiness No Matter What', they tackle the common misconception that joy must be tied to positive events or people. Instead, they argue that happiness is an internal state, accessible anytime, anywhere, and even in the face of life's serious challenges like divorce or loss.

With over 40 years of combined experience, Pam and Marilyn bring a refreshing perspective to the table. They ditch the traditional approach of endlessly processing thoughts and feelings, offering practical tools and new ways of thinking instead. Their conversation dives into self-awareness and self-exploration, encouraging listeners to question their beliefs and choose happiness actively. This episode isn't just about finding personal joy; it's about contributing positively to the world around you.

By choosing happiness, Pam and Marilyn suggest that you can create a ripple effect, inspiring others to do the same. So if you're tired of letting external circumstances dictate your mood, tune in. You'll walk away with actionable insights and a newfound sense of empowerment to create the life you truly desire.
