The Patterns Beneath

The Shift Show

Hosted by Andrea McTague, MA, BEd, RPsych, founder of ShiftGrit. Candid conversations, with ShiftGrit clinicians and guests from across psychology and beyond, about the patterns that quietly shape how we think, feel, and act, and what it actually takes to shift them.

The lens is the one ShiftGrit works through every day: getting underneath behaviour to the limiting beliefs that drive it, and reconditioning those beliefs through Identity-Level Therapy, instead of just managing symptoms. Episodes range across anxiety, relationships, money, performance, parenting, trauma, and entrepreneurship.
