A client masterclass unpacks why urges to check weight or overeat suddenly return. They explore how motivations form from history and emotions. The conversation contrasts reward and punishment drives with values-based choices. There is focus on soothing anxiety, cultivating self-compassion, and moving forward instead of chasing a past identity.

My UK and Ireland bestselling book, FULL: THE EMPTINESS OF OVEREATING, is available here. This podcast explores nine psychological concepts that shape how we relate to food, fitness, relationships, and ourselves. Everyone should know these. They appear in everyday life. We break down moral masochism, the false self, transference, projection, projective identification, splitting, repetition and enactment, reaction formation, and displacement. These are not abstract ideas. They are everyday psychological patterns that show up in dieting, exercise, self-discipline, relationships, work, and behaviour change. Often, without us realising it. This podcast is for anyone tired of repeating the same cycles, blaming themselves, or being told the problem is willpower. It is about understanding the patterns underneath behaviour so change becomes possible without shame, punishment, or control. For coaching inquiries, click here. (https://pauldermody.com/contact/)

My new book, FULL: THE EMPTINESS OF OVEREATING, is available here. I recently received an anonymous message that deeply moved me. In it, someone shared that I had been the first example of safe masculinity they had encountered. This episode is not about praise or identity. More so, responsibility. I reflect on what it means to be experienced as safe, how influence actually works in coaching relationships, and why care, boundaries, and humility matter more than intention. We explore how presence can be impactful without becoming controlling, and how male coaches can support clients without stepping outside their role or replacing other forms of care. This conversation is an invitation to look at influence. Not to inflate it. Not to deny it. But to hold it with awareness.
