pragmatic psychology

Who are those people that keep hanging out in your life? The ones you can't seem to get rid of? The ones called ... f a m i l y?

What if you didn't have to make them right, good, or perfect? Or bad, wrong, and horrible?

What if you could just see, perceive, and receive them precisely as they are, warts, wonders, and all?

What would be possible then?

On this episode of the Wolf podcast, me and the very pragmatic psychologist Susanna Mittermaier will explore what it takes to go beyond the idea of the fairytale family and what is available on the other side!

As we enter a New Year, imagine everything that limited you before has now gone, leaving nothing but opportunities. And we aren’t talking about unsustainable, momentary solutions created from stress. We’re talking about taking everything you’ve ever learned and questioning it. 

When you’re not weighed down by other people’s points of view, you allow yourself to see unexplored possibilities. When you allow yourself to be a happy airhead, you get to choose where to focus your attention and energy. So, asks Susanna, what else is possible for you that you’ve never considered before?

On today’s podcast:

• What else is possible for you?
• What haven’t you yet considered?
• Have you ever created anything other than more stress when stressed?
• Why question everything that you’ve ever learned?
• What questions can you ask today that will lead you to a greater future?
• When you choose to be an airhead, where will you focus your attention?

Things that need to get done, get done. And they get done when it’s time for them, not when they’re supposed to get done.

We create stress by worrying about something in the future that isn’t happening now. But, we need to know when it’s time to be silent and wait or speak up and take action. Listen to Susanna share her thoughts on stress and how we can combat it by having a different point-of-view.

On today’s podcast:

• How much are you aware of what people in the future need but you know it now?
• What if everything you create involves the future?
• Is it time for this [insert topic] now or later?
• How many things do you have to add to your life to stop being obsessive and micromanaging?
• What else can you add to your life that increases and expands my playground?
• What becomes possible when you focus on the energy of exploration?

For most people, money brings up everything but ease, joy and glory. 

In today’s episode, Susanna touches on a topic that she has been exploring for years: money. We may find ourselves passing judgement on others and ourselves by how money is spent, which limits how you think and view spending money. 

As soon as you make a different choice the world changes, and changing our beliefs on money can expand our world. Listen to Susanna share her journey to thinking about money differently and how we can start claiming our wealth by how we view money.

On today’s podcast:

• What is money for you?
• Are you only creating your money flows based on what you need or are you going beyond your needs?
• Are you only receiving as much as you need or are you allowing yourself to receive more than you need?
• Why do you need more?
• How many people do you know that make money the leader?
• If you use your money this way, what future will it create?

You’re not your mental health diagnosis. You’re so much more.

Susanna explores the thoughts around mental health and our perceptions around it. Although we may have anxiety, depression, or another mental illness, it shouldn’t define us. When a new concept enters our world that can change us, question it. Learn to question everything before accepting what is presented as truth.

Listen to why we should question everything, why we shouldn’t accept everything presented to us as facts, and why we shouldn’t embrace the stigmas around mental health during this episode.

On today’s podcast:

• What is this thing called mental health?
• What is my diagnosis really?
• What is anxiety really?
• What if you’re living not from your mind but what you perceive?
• Are you listening and receiving from your body?
• What are you aware of?

Like you’ve heard many times, your point-of-view creates your reality. So, if you tell your body everyday it is horrible, guess what you’re creating?

When you put negative point-of-views and judgements against your body, you’re giving your body orders to create those things. Today, Susanna discusses how to stop being so hard on our bodies and trying to change it because of negative influences. 

On today’s podcast:

• Are you willing to not be right in your limitations for your body?
• Will you let the space and energy your body is inviting in?
• What if you allowed your body to show you the world of possibilities?
• What is true for me? What is true for my body?
• How often are you aware of someone else’s body thinking it is yours?
• How does your body feel?

It’s easy to relate to people based on expectation of who you should be, but when they don’t have any expectation or projections of who you should be you’re pretty open to be whoever you choose. 

Founder of Talk to the Entities and lead facilitator at Access Consciousness, Shannon O’Hara, joins Susanna to discuss control and why we should recognize when we’re doing it. They explore unlearning how to be perfect, creating rejection because of expectations, and why it’s important to detect when we’re trying to be in control. 

On today’s podcast:

• What else is possible?
• What else could you choose?
• What is it that you want to create in your life?
• What else is possible if you teach choice rather than control?
• Are you detecting your control?
• Are you rejecting by setting expectations?

Aloneness is not actually a reality, it is a construct that gets created from your point-of-view and separation. You can create aloneness, but you can not be alone. If you want to stop feeling alone, stop creating the point-of-view that you are alone.

Today, Susanna shares why we feel alone and how we can stop it. Are you rejecting what the universe is trying to contribute to you? Are you choosing what’s true for you? Listen to Susanna breakdown aloneness and the choices we make that cause us to feel this way. 

On today’s podcast:

• What could you receive from the universe contributing itself to you?
• How did I create this? How did I choose this?
• Is this really what I would like to choose?
• What’s true for me?
• What if you don’t look at how your life is supposed to be, but what is uniquely fun for you?
• Are you alone or are you creating aloneness?

Suffering and not having a good time is a point-of-view that’s been handed to us by society and the world around us, but that doesn’t have to be our reality. We have the ability to facilitate our lives and create what’s true for you and no one else.

Listen to Susanna explore living in your true reality and facilitating change. She questions our possibilities, the ways we function, and our perspectives. Are you willing to change in order to have the life that’s best for you?

On today’s podcast:

• Is this really the way life has to be, or is there a different possibility?
• Is what you’re living with heavy or light?
• What if you facilitate yourself to find out what’s true for you?
• Is this really your way of functioning or is this where you are training to other people’s ways of functioning?
• How would you like to create your life?
• How much more space, freedom, and possibilities would occur and you would facilitate with that different perspective?

What do you do when you hear the word manipulation? Do you think it’s a great tool or instantly go to a judgement of what manipulation is?

Manipulation is just like any other word in this world. It is what it is. We decide how we use it. You can use manipulation to gain power over someone or use it to create something greater.

Listen to Susanna and guest, Jürgen Funk, speak about how you can use manipulation as a tool to invite people to create something greater, make things easier, and to make things work. 

On today’s podcast:

• What if manipulation isn’t good or bad?
• How can you use manipulation within your relationships?
• What if we give up the need to fight for being right or wrong?
• How do you give up the need to be right?
• Ladies: How exactly are you letting men know what it is you would like?
• What if you receive the kindness that’s all around you?

“The less that I define myself the more I become that energy of possibilities.” - Brendon Watt

Brendon Watt, international best-selling author and leading Access Consciousness facilitator, joins Susanna to discuss creating your life in a world of possibilities. We have an awareness that there’s something else possible, but we have to decide to not follow the crowd just because it's what everyone else is doing. 

Listen to Susanna and Brendon chat about how to discover what else is possible, learn how to be present with our choices, and how to contribute to our futures and the lives we want to create.

On today’s podcast:

• Who am I today?
• What else is possible beyond this?
• What if I could receive from everything and still have choice?
• What if I practice being present with every choice I make?
• What’s a different choice I could make?
• For everything that you become aware of in your life, ask, what can I receive from this?
• How can this contribute to me and my future?
• Universe: will you please contribute to this?

Being upset is a choice.

Many times, we make a situation more valuable and powerful than us by getting upset. This episode, Susanna explores why we make situations so relevant to us and how to stop giving power to the wrong energy. Are our point-of-views misplaced in anger? 

On today’s podcast:

• Why am I making this relevant and what is really relevant for me?
• What is it about the person or situation that is making me upset?

Anything you decide you need to work at or become is something you have decided you are not yet.

Today, Susanna invites us to a different perspective of self-confidence. Self-confidence is learned, and usually, we function from a place of judgement when it comes to our confidence. Anywhere you have a judgement, there’s a lack of something that you’re using for motivation. Has judgement been helping or hindering you? Listen to Susanna challenge the perspective of self-confidence and how to help us change this perception.

On today’s podcast:

• Has kicking your butt to get anywhere ever worked?
• What if there’s a totally different perspective around self-confidence?
• What if you wipe judgement from your eyes and start seeing what is?
• What if you ask for more space to be and choice to function from?
• What if self-confidence is just a concept?
• What does it mean to me to be self-confident?
• What if you do the things you do because it’s fun for you?

Understanding is one of the greatest limitations we have.

This week, Susanna questions if we’re pretending to be a part of a reality that isn’t ours and if we are the source of our own limitations. Sometimes we allow others to dictate our limits, but we must stop getting in our own way by choosing what we allow to limit us. Listen to Susanna bring up true questions that can help create a new space of possibilities.

On today’s podcast:

• Where are you pretending that you are part of the insanity of this reality of this world when you’re actually not?
• What is true for you?
• Am I going to choose the greatness of me?
• Are you allowing other people to be the source of your limitations?
• How much more choice do you have realizing that it’s actually you who is limiting you?
• Are those limitations actually true to you?

The world is crazy, but from a limited place.

What if you broke the limits of what’s seen as crazy, and just let your craziness loose? People stop being themselves to keep up with an image, but Susanna is challenging you to let that go. Listen to her share her thoughts on societal images and why they’re holding us back from our true selves.

On today’s podcast:

• What if instead of fighting the crazy, we turn our own craziness up?
• What are you doing/using to constantly control yourself or hold yourself back?
• What if changing that doesn’t have to be a job, but just a choice?
• What if acknowledging change is merely a choice away? 
• Why are you feeling weird about what’s being posted on social media?
• How would you like to be in the world?

Are you dramatic? Or, pragmatic?

Being pragmatic isn’t about doing what’s right, it’s doing what works. It’s the willingness to look at what is, beyond what we have decided is right, to perceive the possibility that is available.

If we weren’t so focused on the problem or what’s wrong what could we actually change or be aware of?

In this episode, Katarina Wallentin and her guest Susanna Mittermaier, creator of Pragmatic Psychology, explore how being pragmatic can inspire change and ease in others and also transform problems and difficulty into possibilities and powerful choices.

Best-selling author and co-creator of Access Consciousness, Dr. Dain Heer, chats with Susanna on being your true self, like a peacock.
