ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Poetry meets Psychology in a fascinating encounter: Poet Simon Corble begins each episode by sharing one of his very latest short poems with Psychologist Adriana Summers...a spontaneous conversation then takes off between the two of them, full of insight, honesty, wisdom and quite a few laughs along the way. Adriana brings in the mental health issues she is dealing with on a daily basis amongst her clients, while Simon draws on memories, life experiences and his own concerns for people's mental well-being and the amazing planet we live on - all of which are fuel to his imaginative writing.See also the website http://adrianasummers.yolasite.com/ or simply search "Simon Corble" for more on Simon.

How are physical and emotional pain linked? Can we really control pain successfully by controlling the mind?
We revisit the poem from two episodes back...as it turned out there was a lot more to be said about losing someone close to you...when it is their own choice. Adriana reveals her own loss, on these terms, of someone who could not have been closer and of how she slowly learned to come to terms wit…
How do we discover the things that make us happy? Is it about 'losing ourselves' or 'finding ourselves?' My poem, 'Because' starts a very meaningful talk...
We were given a Cyclamen as a present by a close friend one Christmas. Two years later it took on a whole new meaning, as a result of what the friend did that subsequent Christmas. Some difficult feelings of memories and loss are discussed. But the Cyclamen is also a symbol of regeneration, as it…
In this first episode of our new Spring Season, I share a fairly light-hearted poem all about the subtle changes that have happened in my wardrobe over recent years...but some darker truths are revealed behind the changes...What are we saying to the world by wearing dull colours? And there is lots…
We catch up for a short review of Season One and look forward to Spring and Season Two with a celebration of my local Song Thrush. Featuring my field recordings of him singing in the churchyard of our village in the evening. At the end of the episode I share someone else's poem, for a change…
