Purple Psychology

Now that lockdown starts to lift I see many nervous unsafe and unhappy employees. We now have hard evidence of how the virus transmits and know how to create safety. But I fear many mangers are being driven by their personalities and the perception of customers over the reality of what needs to be done for everyone's happiness and safety. The reality is ceratin personalities make better decisions...

We need to understand that there is a hidden energy need in all successful social media posts - unless you have lost all privacy for other reasons. And that comes with a responsibility too. We all need to look at our part we play - how we need to privately support people. How we need teens to understand this is not a measure of self and validation or how much impact they can make in the world. I u...

We get too focused on roles. What do girls need from their fathers? What did I see that successful women had from theirs? What have I seen that is missing from others I've worked with?

Nothing new that has ever been created has been embraced. I have to remind myself of this as I stay true to what I'm creating - knowing it has a soul of its own and a big lasting impact for us to finally see the world full of difference. To lose our biases once and for all. How I see those biases so proudly in relation to black people. How I have experienced them in a different way. I talk about J...

People often say to me that parenting has become harder in this generation. Has it? Why do we feel this way? What are we being asked to match and unravel in ourselves? What part do roles play?

What are we really talking about with twin flames and the ideas of divine masculine and feminine energy? Do you have an awareness of both within you? Do you form relationships for balance? For mutual growth. Do you get beyond the hurdles of the assumptions that intimacy has to be sexual? Why I struggle with pride season every year. The assumed roles. Inspirations: relationship of Lorraine Hansberr...

Why I have begun to hate the idea of success and creating success - how I have adapted this to be about helping to create secure people instead. Everyone has biases, idea and opinions - if you say you don't you are either lying to yourself or not self-aware enough. It's impossible to create change and support others form this place. Once you are secure you can have a voice for other people.

Why others see personality theory as limiting. They are only trying to put you in a box not give you the tools to navigate through life. My own journey my work has taken to hopefully being obsolete. Personality has the potential to total change self-understanding and community understanding. It is the most palatable form of difference. I get annoyed when I read anyone who talks about personality t...

How do we rise above judgement and validation? Why do we listen to people with little blue dots beside their names? What I resonate within the biography Gwendolyn Brooks and the words of James Baldwin from 1960 Fifth Avenue, Uptown: a letter from Harlem. This is not last weeks news - I'm not moving on until we have created real change.

One real and one imaginary conversation thining about how we have switched off our feeling way of processing the world - the implications of this especially when it comes to justifying behaviours. Are we using justify to understand or to excuse? The differences in the reasons we look for root causes of behaviours. As always companion writing (expression is the real intelligence) can be found on dr...

I've seen so many lists of what I'm supposed to read to educate myself on Black lives. Why Is Alice Walker on so few? If I made my own list she would be top with Zora Neale Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, and James Baldwin. And those are just my starting blocks. Why are we so afraid of authentic? What happens when we lose roles in society? The parameters and boxes we so love. Why are teens struggling...

Expression the ability to end all abuse. The chasm left inside by not being able to read and write. How we victimise people's literacy which allows others to hide behind their insecurities. How we are breeding narcissism and insecurity in the world. What it means and effects to not be able to read, write and express your feelings constructively. If you only ever listen to one podcast by me - this...

How to break controlling patterns in children. How to restore balance in the home. How to break the cycles that didn't break for their parents. What consistent behaviours do you need to have as a parent? What to expect fallout as a result. How is this relevant to what we are watching unfold across America currently? Why have we had generations of controlling people who are drawn to professions whe...

Why do Black writers speak to me on a level like no others? Why is there a correlation for me in illiteracy and race? Why have I spent years using examples from Black history and culture to show difference in every way? Why we have to want difference to finally have history. What Zora Neale Hurston's writing means to me. I've written various companion pieces in the last few weeks on Essays in Awar...

So the summer camps have been cancelled. Here is why I'm excited about this too. And here are some suggestions of what you can do instead!

Why do we need friends - are they the same for everyone? What is social interaction for different personalities? Why is zoom sessions good for some? Does school provide the depth of connection we need? I do companion writing for the topics on my dot org lookup drnaoiseoreilly

This is the follow on to the last podcast on domestic violence - the loss of roles - the effects. Why this is so important generationally. Why I struggled to record practical tips to help right now? What I have tried to create in the last episode and why it's not perfect. It feels outdated to have to go back to such defined roles to help. But I know it's the starting place for better communication...
