'As a society we have allowed lies to corrupt because we have given our power away to words rather than feeling the true intent behind them, this makes it easy for anyone to distort truth through words and we easily fall for them.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist

'Sympathy offers another absolutely no support, it is simply an imposing way to communicate to someone that they are not an equal and must be helped because they cannot do it for themselves. An extremely disempowering way to be with another that leaves them feeling less even if we help them out of a situation, for they in the process never get to feel that they had the power within them but instead they needed our help to do it. This does not mean we don't support others, but supporting vs. helping are two very different things.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'When we stray from simplicity any manner of seemingly viable alternatives appear and we then try to 'work out' which is the best option without realising that all of the options at that point are off-course.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'The thing about getting attention or recognition for something is that we have to be in misery in the first place to crave that sort of thing. So whether we get it and feel elated or we don't get it, either way we are actually in misery.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'When we consider that love does not compromise, many ways in which we relate to each other are now exposed for the abuse they are...but are we ready for this level of exposure?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'When simplicity is not openly received but instead confrontation and attack is the response, we ought to re-evaluate our entire way of living as a society.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Beliefs keep us in a way of living and thinking that we often do not question until it becomes really obvious that they are not supportive. Yet why wait until life becomes so uncomfortable that we are forced to re-assess?' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'When we realise sympathy does not work and only leads to feeling burnt out by people in the end, many shut down and go into self-survival...which equally does not work and results in the uncaring human being. We really ought to support each other as a community to understand exactly how to be with each other in a way that occurs at no-one's expense.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'When our body speaks what is supportive for it we can either adhere to these messages and respond lovingly, or ignore/deny/dismiss and instead abuse ourselves. There really is no middle ground.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'It really does come back to our relationship with ourselves, how willing we are to deepen from within and not look outside of ourselves in search of the answers to our woes.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Both sympathy and empathy treat another as less, a disempowering way of relating to others that does not support them to truly grow within themselves.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'The most valuable treasure is being who we truly are...nothing tops this!' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'The moment we lower our personal standard of quality we allow it from everyone around us, hence abuse starts first with how we treat ourselves.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'Alcohol reflects that the way we live is not working...for if we felt amazing the last thing we would want would be to alter or numb that.' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
'The supply and demand for sympathy in the world is huge, as sympathy never asks us to be responsible but to believe that life just happens to us and we have no control over it...' - Brendan Mooney Psychologist
