My guest on this episode is 'not your typical' Relationship Counsellor or personal development Speaker. With over three decades of expertise in psychology, neuroscience, and metaphysics, Russell Voss, affectionately known as Russ, is a transformative force like no other.
From his disciplined years in the Royal Australian Navy, earning his Bachelor of Social Work Degree and after a significant life 'correction’ at the age of 40, Russ can transform your relationship like no other. He's worked in crisis centres, healthcare facilities, and even remote regional Australia, bringing hope and healing to individuals and families, wherever he goes.
Russ has considerable experience around suicide intervention and prevention and his mission extends much further—to change our culture of disposable relationships and lower Australia's appalling divorce rate. His mission is to ‘help couples avoid divorce in Australia with counselling, and rediscover happiness, so they can be amazing role-models for their kids.
Here are some absolute gems Russ dropped:
· If its not right before, it won’t be right after.
· Relationships are not to be controlled, but to be negotiated.
· You can only show love and respect to others to the extent you love and respect yourself.
Show Notes
· Share about your life prior to 40. Where did the interest / pursuit in psychology, neuroscience, and metaphysics come from?
· Tell us about your life ‘correction’ at 40.
· Statistically, 30% of marriages will end in divorce and 60% of ‘second time’ marriages will end in divorce. Staggering numbers. Why do you think the figure is higher for ‘second timers’?
· Discuss ‘culture of disposable relationships’. Is it easier to get a divorce today than 10-20 years ago?
· What are the fundamental issues you see? The 5 main reasons are Commitment, Infidelity, Conflict, marrying too young, Finances, substance abuse and domestic violence. Not root cause? These are perhaps symptoms?
· What makes you a transformative force like no other?
· How can we lower the divorce rate? Fair to say the relationship didn’t go sour overnight?
· Top 3 tips if you feel your marriage is heading in the wrong direction.
o Understanding and owning your ‘stuff’
o What the other person says is only a point of view, don’t take it personally.
o Any reaction is as a result from your past.
