THE UNSPEAKABLE JOURNEY
“Some things are what they are. It doesn’t matter if we choose to see the best in people, if there is an inherent darkness inside they’ll be no exorcising of this without therapy or a life altering event of some kind.” Good morning and happy Sunday to you. So, how’s it been? Have you missed me? Go […]
YOU LIKE TO WATCH, DON’T YOU?
“Voyeurism is the interest in or spying on people engaged in behaviours normally considered to be of a ‘private’ nature…Skulking in the shadows of cyberspace, watching the world of your ‘collected’ contacts is just another form of voyeurism, is it not?” Yesterday I grabbed my machete and went on a rampage and today I feel much […]
TEMPUS FUGIT
“I’ve always found it fascinating how, as a child, the countdown of days to a particular event appeared to be interminable yet, as an adult, tempus fugit” So, it’s June and the wedding season is in full swing with a procession of events, each merging into the next. And whilst the majority of these events […]
THE HUNGER
” it’s a story that often needs the healing hands of a psychotherapist and not the size nines of a gym fanatic” So, how’s it going? The diet that is. Have you managed to cling to your new year’s resolution and are you now seeing a whole ‘new’ you or have you crashed and burned […]
THE INTRUDERS
“We live in a desperate world…There’s no room for our ambivalence when crimes against others are committed as a form of recreation savoured by some with seeming impunity.” Next week sees the final episode of yet another popular and superbly acted BBC drama, The Fall. The understated yet notorious show drew 2.5m viewers with its […]
SENSE & SAFETY
“Noise accounts for most of the complaints that local councils a receive about environmental pollution because it is a major source of stress….as is a £5,000 fine for a noisy child” So last night there was real drama in St Neots, England when one of the rides from the visiting fairground attraction collapsed; 7 people […]
UNFAITHFUL
“We place (or feel) trust in another person when we believe that they have our best interest at heart… but what happens when that trust is broken?” Good morning. I hope you’re sitting (or laying) comfortably because today’s post is going to be a lengthy one. I apologise but I’m trying to fit into one […]
PSYCHO
“Each and every one of us has, at some time in our life, wished harm on somebody else yet the majority of us have inbuilt social inhibitors that block us from acting on that impulse. The psychopath has no such restriction.” If I said the word psycho to you, what images would it conjure up; […]
THE BEAST WITHIN
“Like sharks in the water, they sense their prey, often those who lack in assertiveness and radiate fear. It’s easy to dislike a bully yet, strangely, it’s equally possible to become ‘tired’ of the victim.” This week, thanks to the magic of Facebook, I reconnected with a long lost friend. Somebody I used to be […]
