We explore childhood, loneliness, isolation, family dynamics, a little bit of Alan Partridge, lots of laughs as we discuss recovery, spirituality & philosophy..as always through the lens of some brilliant music!

Playing safe, following rules & guidelines rigidly, can be a hiding place from real living. Playing psychological games ie: the intellectual, the cynical, the smarmy, entitled victim..grows old & tiresome..being saved on the other hand, requires courage, risking being vulnerable, willingness to walk, jump or dive into the epicentre of human love, relationships & experiences..are you curious? Tune in & also enjoy the wonderful music.

So, going ‘no contact’ is the gold star response to the dark tetrad & those with narcissistic leanings..its a big step & potentially liberating step..we take a close look at this exciting possibility. However, full on no contact is not always possible for everyone. We can be connected through shared workspace/home space, joint custody, pretend friends & so fourth..what then? What can we do? Enter the grey rock express! This is a powerful, highly skilled & effective set of tools & abilities that help us manage, navigate, negotiate & survive close contact with very difficult personalities..interested? Intrigued? Well tune into the pod, there's also some kick ass tunes!
