  • Building a Successful Career with Special Guest Richard Brake
    2024/09/23

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode

    We conclude our third season of the podcast by chatting to the brilliant, Richard Brake.

    If you don’t recognise the name, you will most definitely recognise the face as Richard has starred in a ton of movies and tv series over the last 20 years. After landing a supporting role in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, Richard began to break out in the 2005 film Doom, Steven Spielberg’s Munich, and Hannibal Rising.

    Since then, he’s had a vast and varied career, not just in movies but in television as well, appearing in Peaky Blinders, Ray Donnovan, The Mandalorian, and most famously as the Night King in the HBO series, Game of Thrones.

    Richard is a fantastically versatile actor but he’s particularly adept at playing villains, monsters and psychopaths, as is evident in his work in horror films like Mandy, Barbarian, and as fan favourite Doomhead in Rob Zombie’s 31.

    Despite being scarily good in his horror roles, Richard has a warm, down-to-earth, lovely nature. It was especially good to get to chat with him as he worked with John early on in his career, studying the Spiritual Psychology of Acting.

    We discuss the impact that had on his life as well as the turning points that helped him build the career he has today.

  • Life Scripts
    2024/08/23

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode

    This week’s episode is the final part of our mini-series on Transactional Analysis so if you haven’t listened to the previous three parts, do go back and check those out before listening to this one.

    Our final part is all about Life Scripts – the unconscious life plans we pick up in childhood, often without even knowing it. We’ll be breaking down the different types of Scripts, find out the characteristics of each of them and how they might be playing out in your own life right now.

    This chat that we had with our resident expert, Sarah Lowes, will not only help you uncover the script you might be living but also guide you on how to re-write it. Because once you know your script, you gain the power to change it!

    So, if you’re ready to take a closer look at the story you’ve been living, and maybe even start drafting a new chapter, then this episode is definitely for you.

  • The Psychological Games People Play
    2024/08/15

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode

    Have you ever found yourself in a conversation that feels strangely familiar, like you’re following a script you’ve played out a hundred times before? Do you ever wonder why certain interactions with others leave you feeling frustrated, confused, or even infuriated? What if I told you that these patterns are part of a hidden game – one you might not even realise you’re playing?

    In part three of our mini-series on Transactional Analysis we’re exploring a fascinating and vital part of the TA world – the Games People Play as outlined in Eric Berne’s groundbreaking book of the same name.

    In this episode, we’re joined again by our resident expert, Sarah Lowes, to help take us through some of the most interesting and often played games from Berne’s book – along the way we’ll discover how these games can dictate our relationships, influence our emotions, and even determine our life choices. But what exactly are these games, why do we play them, and – most importantly – how can we break free from them?

  • The Art of Authentic Communication
    2024/08/08

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode

    This week we are continuing our mini-series on Transactional Analysis – a powerful tool for understanding human behaviour and communication. We build here on the concepts we looked at in last week’s episode so if you haven’t listened to that already go back and familiarise with it before launching into this one.

    In this episode we cover what Transactions are and explore the idea of Strokes – those essential units of human recognition that we all crave. Why do we need them, and how do they shape our interactions?

    We also look at the different types of Transactions that occur between our Ego states. We break down Crossed Transactions, where miscommunications often arise, and Ulterior Transactions, where hidden agendas come into play.

    That leads us into a brief look at the Psychological Games people play, finishing with some tips on how we can achieve authentic human connection and intimacy with the people in our lives.

    So, whether you’re an actor looking to deepen your character work or simply curious about the intricacies of human interaction, this episode promises to be a thought-provoking journey into the heart of Transactional Analysis.

  • The Psychology of Human Relationships: An Introduction to Transactional Analysis
    2024/08/01

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode

    This week, we are kicking off a special four part mini-series diving into the world of Transactional Analysis – a form of social psychology that explores the dynamics of human interactions and those hidden parts of ourselves that often dictate how we behave in life.

    For this mini-series, we drafted in an expert to help guide us through these next few weeks. Sarah Lowes is a coach and facilitator. She uses Transactional Analysis in her work to empower people and help them connect honestly with themselves. She is also one of the hosts of the Transactional Analysis Podcast (formerly known as 3 People in Your Head).

    This episode serves as a good introduction to the concepts and terms used in Transactional Analysis so if you’re completely new to it all, don’t worry, we cover all the basics that you need to know – what it is, how it works, and why it’s an absolute game-changer for anyone interested in achieving a deeper self-awareness and personal growth.

  • Character Archetypes in Mythology
    2024/07/25

    Send us a Message - let us know what you think of the episode

    This week we’re crossing the threshold and embarking on a journey through the timeless world of character archetypes.

    Have you ever wondered why certain characters resonate so deeply with us? Why we find ourselves rooting for the hero, delighted by the trickster, or guided by the mentor? It’s no coincidence that these types of characters appear time and time again. They very often form the backbone of ancient stories and myths that have shaped human consciousness for centuries.

    Appreciating the function of these archetypes can transform our understanding of characters, whether you’re an actor, writer, or simply a lover of stories.

    In this episode, we unpack each of the archetypes, giving examples, and find out how we can spot them, not just in our favourite plays, movies and tv shows but also in the people around us, in our daily life.
