'Being right is the biggest killer of relationships because it always makes another wrong.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

19/5/2016

 
'Taking things personally in relationships is common, but what if we were to consider that perhaps relationships are never personal?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

29/4/2016

 
'Why do we play games in relationships when at the end of the day we all want love?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist 

 

13/4/2016

 
'How often do we impose onto others how they should or shouldn't live, according to our own views, rather than allowing another the space to make their own choices? If love is unconditional, what does it say about the type of relationship we actually have with others if we are imposing on them to be a certain way?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

29/3/2016

 
'Relationships can support us to re-learn and grow, although they can also be used to maintain a sense of comfort so that we get to avoid dealing with our unresolved emotional issues.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'Embrace your natural qualities, for then we all benefit'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

6/2/2016

 
'We can all relate to what it is like to manipulate our loved ones to get what we want. However, if we continue to use corrupt ways to get our needs met it will never work in terms of advancing us as a species, and perhaps 'to get my needs met' is one of the greatest excuses we use to justify its existence'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

1/2/2016

 
'Working together makes sense, for we each bring unique qualities that can support another'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

25/1/2016

 
'Ultimately we all know that it is through bringing love and understanding that we deepen the quality of our relationships'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

23/1/2016

 
'When we base our relationships on meeting each other's needs, both parties are vulnerable to compromising themselves. For example, if we need to be in a relationship to avoid feeling lonely, what are we willing to accept in order to keep the relationship together? Perhaps if we support ourselves more deeply we will naturally become less needy and demanding of others, and our relationships will then be based purely because we love being with them rather than because we need them'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

17/1/2016

 
'The most common regret people report on their death bed is they wished they had spent more quality time with loved ones. Why wait until then to realise it when it can be lived today?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

16/1/2016

 
'Our relationships with others ought to never come at the expense of our relationship with ourselves. Otherwise, who's life are we living?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

12/1/2016

 
'Life is about people, and when we make it about people everything works. But when we make it about money or a better house etc., although we may gain materially it comes at the expense of our relationships. And ultimately it is our relationships with others that truly enriches our quality of life'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

8/1/2016

 
'Why take things personally? If someone is reacting (e.g. angrily shouting at you) why do we personalise this? What if we just observed the person and responded accordingly, without taking anything on?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

 

4/1/2016

 
'We each bring unique qualities, and hence if we work together everybody wins'. - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
