Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world. This week Niall is joined by cognitive scientist and humanistic psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman. Scott hosts The Psychology Podcast and is passionate about our innate potential as humans.  Scott’s latest book ‘Transcend’ is a reimagining of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and a new insight into living your most creative, fulfilled, and connected life. Niall and Scott share the same beliefs about human potential and discuss how there are many forms of intelligence that may not score well on your average IQ test. Scott also explains what it means to self-actualise, the impact the modern world and social media have on our potential and how purpose, fulfilment and connection are the drivers of our human experience.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.  Mindfulness was introduced to the Western world by three young Americans in the 1970s, Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield and Sharon Salzberg, who would later go on to co-found The Insight Meditation Society.  On today’s podcast, Niall is joined by Sharon Salzberg, world-renowned teacher and inspiration in his own work. Sharon’s latest book ‘Real Life: The Journey from Isolation to Openness and Freedom’ shows us how we can recover from the emotional effects of crisis. Niall and Sharon discuss how society has changed in the wake of the pandemic, the shared consciousness of kindness that we so desperately need and their fears of the historic essence of mindfulness is being lost in the modern world.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.  On Friday 28th April 2023, Niall took to the stage of Dublin’s iconic 3Olympia Theatre for the very first Where Is My Mind? live show.  On the night Niall was joined by Adam Clayton, bassist of one of the world’s most legendary rock bands, U2. If you’ve been here for a while you may remember Adam joining us on the podcast before for a very candid conversation about his own mental health and addiction. In this conversation they go deeper, getting to the depths of Adam’s experience of battling his mind, and how this pushed him to campaign for the change that both he and Niall are so passionate about.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.  We often talk about trauma on this podcast but this week we’re looking at it from a different angle and exploring developmental trauma, what it looks like and the different approaches to healing.  Niall is joined by Dr. Stephen Terrell, psychotherapist and specialist in Developmental Trauma, Attachment and Adoption. It was in his experience as a clinician and single parent of two adopted sons that Stephen realised there needed to be a way to reach non-verbal, or early developmental trauma, without spoken language. He developed ‘Transforming Touch®’ and ‘Transforming the Experience-Based Brain: A Regulation-Based Approach to Working Developmental Trauma’. Niall and Stephen also discuss the impact of generational and collective trauma, the importance of presence in trauma therapy and both have some stuff come up for them in an incredibly vulnerable and powerful conversation. Take care when listening.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.  After a phenomenal response to our episode on ADHD with Dr. Colman Noctor, we wanted to continue the important conversation about neurodiversity and the life experiences of those affected.  In this week’s episode Niall is joined by Adam Harris, founder and CEO of AsIAm, Ireland’s national autism charity. Adam started AsIAm in 2014 based on his own experiences growing up as a young autistic person in Ireland and his frustration with the lack of understanding and barriers to inclusion. Adam speaks to Niall about what living with autism is like, how awareness has grown but we now need acceptance and understanding and what needs to change to create a universally inclusive society for all.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.
