The Therapy Room - Brave Enough To Be with Louize Carroll and Dr. Tony Bates

As we wind down the final episodes of Where Is My Mind, we couldn't go without one last visit to your favourite segment: The Therapy Room.

In this special episode, Niall is joined once again by long-time friends of the podcast and two of Ireland’s top psychologists, Louize Carroll and Dr. Tony Bates. Since The Therapy Room began, we've explored some of the most important themes that therapists encounter in their work — and today, Louize and Tony reflect on the biggest lessons they’ve learned over the years.

They speak to the profound bravery in vulnerability, and the deep honour of witnessing someone step fully into themselves — beyond the weight of internal and external expectations. They also touch on the importance of balancing the individual story with the broader context, and why we need to reevaluate how we see those who are experiencing pain or deemed ‘crazy’. Louize and Tony both finish by reading passages from some of their favourite literature, and share their hope that people never give up on themselves.

This episode discusses some sensitive topics, please take care when listening.
