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
