2026/01/09

Send us a text Today I'm looking at Conversion Disorder, or as it’s more often called these days, Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder.

Send us a text If you ever find yourself stuck in the same old arguments, playing out like a bad soap opera then that might be the Drama Triangle at work. Where we slip into roles of Victim, Rescuer, or Persecutor without even realising.

Send us a text If you’ve ever been told to “snap out of it,” you’ll know it’s rarely the magic cure the speaker thinks it is. More often than not, it feels like being told off for having feelings, like telling someone with a broken leg to just run it off. But while we can’t flick an emotional light switch, we can influence how we feel. And that starts with understanding our state.
