I’m Fiachra “Figs” O’Sullivan, a couples therapist and the founder of Empathi.com. I believe that the principles of secure attachment and sound money are the two essential protocols for building a future filled with hope. I’m a husband and dad living in Hawaii, where I paddle outrigger canoes and get humbled daily by the wind and waves. I’m also incessantly funny—so much so that I should probably see someone about it.

Agreed. Sometimes 'Overthink' is a major obstacle to progress. To paraphrase John o Donahue... our inner selves need some mystery and shadow. they don't do well under the harsh spotlight.

I just learned that 50-70% of the population doesn’t have an internal monologue. I honestly can’t really comprehend this.

I am a therapist and sometimes I have to work on helping people develop the basics of being conscious awareness.

To be conscious means it is always like something to be you:

Take a table- it is not like anything to be a table.

So when I ask my clients “what was it like right now to. Remember that/say that/share that with your spouse, etc., and they tell me it was fine. I felt nothing.

I tell them you are not a table.

We want to get as far away from being a table on the consciousness spectrum as possible!

Some people have never had anyone help them to not be tables!

Tables also are not aware of their internal monologue. They just need a little help..people that is, not literal tables…of course. 🤓

love it. Trying to move away from being a table. it reminds me of the phrasing Allen Farrington used in Wittgensteins money... what would it seem like if it seemed like...

Christians, Help me out here. How does one feel strongly about Jesus? How does one have a personal relationship with Christ? In general I feel very little or nothing when I think about god and he...

You are like a wet dream come true for Christians with a question like that!
I imagine someone coming to me and asking me:
How does one feel strongly about Bitcoin? How does one have a personal relationship with Bitcoin?


I would have to excuse myself and do a little dance first before I answer the question without peeing myself in excitement.

Christians, enjoy this moment, but try not to pee yourself!
