This week's conversation is with Ray McKimm, a Psychotherapist based out of Ireland who I encountered via this incredible spur of the moment interview he gave to a content creator that amassed millions of views.

Ray's Bio: "Ray has trained in a range of therapeutic interventions and worked in the N.H.S., the voluntary sector, and with International N.G.O’S (Non-Government Organisations)he has worked therapeutically with individuals, families, and groups.

He has trained in Jungian Analysis, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy) SFBT(Solution Focused Brief Therapy) Trauma Focused CBT and many others which he will apply to your conversation when it could be helpful to you.

He developed a model of therapy called Colour Analytical Psychology as a direct result of the influence of the psychology of Carl Jung and the work of Melisse Jolly at Colour Mirrors, he has published this theory in various forms.

He established Green Therapy and Training as a center of excellence in enabling others to manage the challenges that life brings, and helping them through many of these transitions in his work as a Humanist Celebrant."

We then shift gears to tackle the larger issues within the healthcare system. The importance of transparency and advocacy in medical care cannot be overstated. Through my personal experiences, including treatment in Puerto Vallarta, I underline the necessity of having open, honest conversations with healthcare professionals and the critical nature of self-advocacy. From discussing the fallibility of the medical system to the significance of seeking multiple opinions, this segment is a must-listen for anyone navigating their own healthcare journey.

Finally, we explore the profound impacts of living with chronic pain and disability. From the strain on personal relationships to the power of emotional expression and asking for help, this episode offers heartfelt advice for individuals and their families. Joined by Irish counselor Ray McKimm, we delve into the transformative journey of therapy, the art of compassionate listening, and the healing power of empathy. Ray's unique insights and personal story add a valuable perspective on acceptance and resilience. Tune in for a deeply moving and inspiring conversation that underscores the art of living authentically and the importance of gratitude in the face of life's challenges.
