Welcome to The Dynamics of Everyday Life, where we’re setting off on an incredible journey into the realm of psychodynamic theory with me.
I’m here to take the seemingly complex concepts of psychology and break them down into digestible, relatable bits that can apply to our daily lives.
Together, we’ll uncover the mysteries of our inner selves, navigate the intricacies of human relationships, and discover the keys to personal happiness.

We all love a summer holiday – or at least that’s what we are led to believe. But what if we don’t? In this episode we explore what might be going on for us if we are feeling a bit anxious whilst we pack the sun cream and our bikinis, ready for our trips to sunnier climes. Are […]
The yellow brick road is a fabulous analogy of the different journeys in our lives. But how tempting could it be to take a short cut? We all have our own personal witches that we want to avoid, but would we even do this by cutting some corners? In this episode I explore what might be going […]
Do we know why we do things? What can our reasons be? We have been told over the last few years that we should have “purpose” or know what our “why” is. Yet sometimes that’s not so easy to do. And how do we feel if we are the ones struggling to find out our “why” in a world […]

It won’t surprise you to learn that we will be delving back into the world of defence mechanisms. What you might not be expecting is a nod to Melanie Klein, as well as our […]

We all know that feeling of “I’ll do it tomorrow” whilst being fully aware that we won’t do it tomorrow, or even the next day. Why do we do this to ourselves? Are we just making our lives harder for no reason? In this episode as well as meeting our old friends rationalisation and denial we are […]
Sibling rivalry isn’t just something that we leave at home, only to be brought out again at family events and Christmas. The way that we learn to be in the sibling dynamic can have a profound impact on how we relate to people as we grow and develop in life. Sibling rivalry can exist for only children […]
Power takes on many shapes and forms. There is the power wielded over us by those who govern us and those who hold an authoritarian role in our lives, and there is our own personal power. The power that is unique to us, and yet this is the one that we are often not in touch with […]
