Description
Please Support my Independent Thought on Patreon PurplePsychology or On Apple Podcast Channel PurplePsychology. Podcast Disclaimer on PurplePsychology dot Com. More Information DrNaoiseOReilly dot org. A podcast that ranges from Teen to Adult. Originally I have a Doctorate in philosophy (Psychical Oceanography). I’ve spent my whole adult life supporting Students in one form or another. I always feel they are right and this podcast aims to get under the bonnet of what is really at the root of our society challenges. How to be authentic and vulnerable in practice not just in name. How to critically reflect on big topics. Always with a suggested reading list. I do the research and join the dots in my Sigma INFJ mode so you don’t need to do all the work. Presented in Bite size portions. ©Dr. Naoisé O'Reilly 2025.

INFJs can really lose themselves in relationships and turn everything on themselves. We have such extreme forgiveness and patience that it's shocking when we run out - when we need change and the patterns keep repeating. It's too easy for us to turn all the experiences on ourselves and feel shame. Shame for sharing and being open as this requires such trust for us.
The Violet Writer https://substack.com/@thevioletwriterhttps://thevioletwriter.substack.com/p/displace-souls-and-surviving-beauty?r=73q1xqBy training, I am an observational scientist. I spend my life witnessing everyday human behaviour and trying to understand the hidden patterns. The invisible conditioning in plain view.Not unlike the violet spectrum: completely invisible to many.The part of the rainbow we simply assume to be there.Consider with me the unwritten rules we might blindly follow. The efforts that feel like mere survival, but are perhaps more. The assumptions we've never questioned. Once seen, it can't be unseen.My writing is about creating a peaceful, unconditional space for you. I hope you'll come by now and then.
The colonial hub in the Middle-East called the Middle-East based on another Colonial land .. Can we decide no one deserves to die? Surely all the religions agree on this fact?
The world is so disjointed for us now as creatives and ironically this book even though it wanted a massage of what is swallowed in progress and order is also a victim of the writer’s integrity … it’s not a teen book and it’s not accessible to the readers the earlier series it’s born from ….

The world feels like a soup you couldn’t possibly create an unconditioned reality in right now

or at least realised in advance of speaking that I am … I certainly didn’t mean yesterday’s thoughts to be on the band wagon of Black History Month!
Th people we need to offer compassion to are not in the room … they are not in any room and the people who speak to them don’t care about their needs. There is no solidarity at the moment, ironically especially if you are white and speaking out.

Why it’s so difficult to be an INFJ right now
My sense of time is very Druid.. it’s connected to the land and the seasons … what does this time of year of Imbolc really symbolise?
Everyone has stopped talking about Gaza .. so that is my cue to do so once again … what is being done here on behalf of the Jewish people will haunt them forever…
How do we teach colonialism in school? Correction! France returned Algeria to independence on July 5, 1962 * I said 1966 - sorry Privileges in Occupation https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/authentic-expression/id1686925520?i=1000728229252
