Andrew. Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Hi, I am new to Freedomain Radio. A friend of mine shared some of his favourite episodes which I found very helpful. Since, I have listened to the Introduction to Philosophy which was very helpful to share some of Stef's basic ideas. Not so basic to me but I like the idea of honest rational conversations (doesn't happen in my life very much at the moment). Ill be jumping over to the meet and greet after this. What is also new to me is using a forum. I have not been part of an online forum before. For the moderator, is there a specific place to ask if FDR members of a certain location know of good therapists in their area that can help with childhood matters? Hopefully this type of question is ok. Andrew
Carl Green Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Hi Andrew, welcome to the forums. You can say/ask pretty much anything ya want as long as you're not being rude. The search function in the upper right should help ya find any posts about locating a good therapist. See ya around
PatrickC Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I've asked some chaps from your neck of the woods to help out Andrew. All the best and welcome.
Andrew. Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Thank you Carl for helping me using the forum better. I see a fair bit about IFS therapy so I am looking into that now but I am really looking for someone who has been recommended to help rationally process things. Thank you Patric for asking around. I appreciate your care.
Timur Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Hi Andrew, Welcome to the forums! I've asked my therapist for a recommendation. I'm in Melbourne though so she may not know any. There's an FDR meetup in Brisbane, get in contact with this gentleman if you are interested: https://www.facebook.com/anomaly.kristoss
William Wyatt Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Hey Andrew, I also live in Brisbane.I haven't managed to find good therapists in Brisbane, I've mainly resorted to Skype chats and such... I've met 2 other people at the meetup group in brisbane. Is your friend one of them??
Andrew. Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks Timur for the asking for the recommendation and sending through Chris's facebook contact. I'm interested in meeting more like minded people in Brisbane. Thanks William for getting back. I will let you know if I find a good therapist also. My friend is on the Gold Coast actually so I don't think he is part of the Brisbane meetup group. I checked the forum to see if there is more information about the Brisbane Meetup but I only found some old threads How often does the group meetup? Where does it meetup? How many people usually come? Thanks again for the help.

How many people usually come? Thanks again for the help. I've only gone twice, Chris runs then on a saturday arvo once a month at this bar in south bank... but I busk late at night in the valley on friday and sat nights, so I usually need sleep during that day... it's usually just chris and some other half-asian fellow... they are both INTJ types who work in strict 9-5 IT jobs, so I found it slightly difficult to relate as we came from very different backgrounds... They seemed to fear unemployment, as and such, were trapped in the 9-5 mon-fri . despite probably getting decent pay, I didn't feel they would be able to commit to grassroots economics and psychology... which along with music/art, are my passions...
Andrew. Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks William for the feedback. Would you say the meet up is more around mutual interests aside from FDR and less around philosophy and having meaningful conversations. I think they have one coming up in May which I have requested to join the meetup. I think it said 4 people were attending. What do you mean "despite probably getting decent pay, I didn't feel they would be able to commit to grassroots economics and psychology"? What kind of music do you play?
soma Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Anyone from the Gold Coast? Would be great to meet up with some like minded people.
trentster Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Anyone from Melbourne - or are there any current Melbourne meetups already in place? I am always interested in having a good chat with like minded folks.
