“Really twitchy, yeah. kind of Tourette Scale. I think there's a wedge that ends with quite severe things. A lot of people have that experience of making little funny tickly noises in the throat or having to not step on the cracks and there's all the kind of OCD thing that starts to get accompanied by feelings of dread and so much. I never had that. But yeah, I was Twitchy and I find a lot of... creative kids are I don't really know what it is it's a seems to be a form of auto suggestion”

“proper language for it. So if that was a helpful book actually, as I'm sure it was for many people in terms of giving that lack of belief a kind of a structure.”

“People fool themselves and so you sort of naturally start to view a lot of belief systems I think through those eyes including your own I don't know how it was for you and also the very idea of doing hypnosis I just remember that was I was a member of the Christian Union in my first year at university I went to Bristol and they were just totally up in arms I had Members of that Christian Union at the back of one of my shows exorcising me and casting out demons whilst I was hypnotizing people on stage. So again, all of that just sort of made me quite just helped with the sort of general skepticism. It took a little while to properly come out of it. In fact, the Richard Dawkins book, The God Delusion, came out around the time that I had sort of mentally made that step, but didn't quite maybe have the.”

“That's right, Mrs Whitaker, one of our teachers at school was I really liked a lot, and she ran it was called Crusader Clasp. It was basically like a Sunday school thing, and'cause I was six and she asked me if I wanted to go to it. I just sort of presumed everybody did. I didn't know any difference. So I said to ask my parents if I could go and they said yes, of course. So I did. And then by the time I realized that, oh no, this is actually like a thing that I now believe in. It was sort of I was pretty much inculcated so it was hard to step out of it. But I did eventually at university. So many years later I through doing hypnosis first and magic and they always give you a quite sceptical outlook on things because you just see how”

“No, I said, because I think because my dad taught there it helped, but I was definitely always chosen last for the teams and things hated. Sports and so on. There were a couple of kids that were probably, I mean, generally fairly nasty anyway, but I certainly got. A bit from them, but no, I think I sort of did all right. I think I generally didn't enjoy school that much. And I felt like I was sort of intimidated, but I don't really remember ever getting sort of, I never got beaten up or bullied or no one was making my life particularly miserable. I think it was just the general feeling of not quite fitting in.”

“To sort of suddenly, they seem to sort of, you know, like me, or at least they were. Fine, so I started doing impressions of teachers and I would draw caricatures of them and I became a kind of really, I would imagine, quite irritating, certainly to some of the teachers, attention seeker. So I think it all happened around then. And then it just sort of then progressed into university most of my 20s. Probably a lot of it was around based around that. And it was quite a handy thing, you know, if you're going to perform, it takes care of that need to just sort of, you know, just kind of impress. I think it was probably a good thing.”

“Yes, I think I could. So when I was at school, so my dad was a swimming teacher at school and I wasn't very sporty so I kind of it shielded me from being like bullied as a non-sporty kid but I didn't love school mainly because of that. I found a lot of the kids the sporty kids quite intimidating and so on. So I kind of like but dad teaching there helped and then when I got to and I was in with the wrong group the sort of classical music loving group or the puff gang as we were less charitably known didn't even like classical music so it was a pretty miserable group to be stuck with in sixth form I remember everybody sort of seemed to grow up suddenly and become a lot more friendly and so I kind of I sort of exploded in a way into sort of like attention seeking and I went from being very sort of quiet and a bit intimidated by these sort of”

“What do you need to understand? Well, I was an only child till I was nine. So I guess that's kind of a pretty formative thing, isn't it? Quite creative, I always drawing and building things Lego. Been a bit of a people pleaser, and maybe that at that age. Kind of sort of happy didn't have a lot of friends. There wasn't like a didn't have a big gang and everybody did. I've always gone through life just with sort of a small number of good friends I think that feels like a happy time to think back on.”

“We've completely obliterated the idea of just fortune and life. Sometimes life's throwing stuff back at us, we have no control over, anxiety is still somehow the demon. But, you know, without anxiety, how do you know to change anything? You know, you can't do that without embracing anxiety to an extent.”

“And the second half was healing. The woman came up and she'd be paralyzed on one side of her body since she was four. In floods of tears because she could move her left arm for the first time. You're seeing is that it's the psychological component of suffering, right? Like nothing's happened, nothing's changed, but their relationship to their suffering, that's been made to change. It's not the things in life that cause your problems, it's the story that you tell yourself about them. It's the judgments that you make about them.”
