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

Unmasking Your True Self: Breaking Free from Labels with The Irreverent Therapists

“I think the definitions cut off our awareness, but we can also use the definitions to cut off our awareness, like, oh, if I'm just operating on good mom autopilot, I don't have to be aware of what's actually true and going on and that I could do different, whereas if I come out of that, say, ok, if I wasn't doing good mom, what would I be aware of here?”

Have you ever wondered if you’re more than just the roles you play or the labels society sticks on you? Pam and Marilyn, the dynamic duo behind 'The Irreverent Therapists', take a deep dive into this very question. With their combined four decades of experience in psychotherapy, they bring a refreshing perspective on what it means to truly know yourself. Forget about the usual therapy sessions that endlessly rehash your past.

In this episode, they explore how external definitions—like your job, gender, or cultural background—can box you in and limit your potential. They encourage you to toss out these labels and embrace the unique individual that you are. But it’s not just about self-discovery; Pam and Marilyn also touch on how this approach can transform your parenting. Imagine connecting with your children in a more authentic and present way, free from the constraints of societal expectations.

Whether you're looking to redefine yourself or improve your relationships, this episode offers practical tools and eye-opening insights to help you break free from the mold. So, are you ready to discover the 'you' that’s been waiting to be recognized? Tune in and start your journey towards authenticity and empowerment.
