Published On: Fri Aug 29 2025
Description: In series 2 of Beyond Survival – The Therapy Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Ruth Callaghan where we explore two powerful listener questions.First, how can you be a better parent when you’ve grown up as a “fawn type” people-pleaser, and why do your underlying motivations matter so much? Then, we dive into the challenge of managing intrusive, compulsive thoughts - the constant urge to help, fix, or rescue others. We’ll unpack what’s really driving these patterns, and share insights on how to respond with more clarity, balance, and self-compassion.If you want us to answer your question on the Podcast email;  beyond_survival@outlook.comFollow Dr. Ruth Callaghan on TikTokFollow Dr. Ruth Callaghan on Instagramhttps://www.callaghancounselling.ie/The C.A.L.M Method If you want to be notified when Katie is running the next group -  Join the Waitlist today Calmer parenting and a happier home and kids is so much closer than you thinkKatie McKennaAccredited Psychotherapist, Podcast Host, AuthorBEYOND SURVIVAL - The Therapy Podcast
