If you don't already know, play therapy is a real thing. An actual evidence-based treatment protocol that's currently being used with children in a broad range of settings and with great success. Less pills, more monkey bars, I say (do monkey bars still exist?). This was a fascinating chat with Dr. Sam Casey about the power of play as a potential tool for the treatment and/or management of a broad range of psychological, sociological, emotional and behavioural issues and as l often do, I learned a lot in this chat. Enjoy. **Oh and BTW, Dr. Sam's natural talking speed is about 1.5 (she gets excited) so, you've been warned. You might need a coffee (lol).

#1725 Healing Through Play - Dr. Sam Casey

Jamie Stedman wears a number of hats to cover his delightfully bald head; he's a resilience workshop facilitator for businesses and organisations looking to support their employees in challenging work environments, a men's behaviour change facilitator with a large nonprofit organisation working with domestic violence offenders, and he works one-on-one with people navigating grief and trauma through the Rural Fire Service. As someone who grew up in a household that revolved around his stepfather's violence and mother's heroin addiction, he draws deeply from his own experiences. *Warning: some people might find this conversation triggering. It wasn't an 'easy' or typical fun TYP chat, but it was definitely an important conversation, with important messages.

At 17, Matt De Gruchy was legally blind, morbidly obese (over 150kgs at 170cm), on numerous drugs, dealing with a rare disease, trying to survive crippling anxiety and depression, becoming more and more isolated and socially disconnected and understandably, hating (his version of) life. To say that he has turned it all around, is a massive understatement but as you'll hear in this episode, he is indeed an inspirational young man with a great vision doing amazing things and helping countless people. I loved this chat and I loved meeting Matt.

#1723 No Sight But Great Vision - Matt De Gruchy

Retirement is an interesting idea. In our culture, it's seen as a good thing. A reward for decades of toil, work and sacrifice; the trophy at the end of the career marathon, with the idea being that our life will be better (and so will we) once we transcend the work phase of our existence. Without spoiling what's to come in this episode, I'm of the opinion that retirement is not arbitrarily 'good or bad' but I do think it's important to consider the 'when, how and why' behind our retirement and the potential physical, financial, emotional, social and psychological implications (good and bad) of what a post-work existence might be. My 'work' has never felt like a job, a slog, an anchor or something I want to escape. Over the decades, I have consciously created a paradigm that is (for me) an intersection of connection, fun, learning, unlearning, purpose, service, peaks, troughs, meeting awesome people, travel, sharing my passion, personal growth and making a few bucks. What I share here is not a recommendation but rather, a reflection. You might find something interesting in it.
