The Good Mood Clinic Podcast
Love Without the Wound is a podcast for emotionally intelligent, self-aware women who are tired of repeating painful patterns in love — especially those involving emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners.
After a long career in clinical psychology, I’ve recently shifted direction and now focus primarily on my work as a Relationship Coach & Mentor for women who want to break free from unfulfilling dating and relationship cycles. I bring over 25 years of experience helping clients understand the deeper emotional patterns that shape their relationship choices — patterns often rooted in early attachment wounds, abandonment fears, people-pleasing tendencies, and loss of self.
In this podcast, I offer insight, compassion, and practical strategies to support your journey of self-discovery, schema healing, and relationship transformation. We explore why smart, capable women can feel stuck in love, how to reclaim your voice, and how to choose from self-worth rather than old emotional wounds.
If you're ready to break the cycle, trust yourself more deeply, and create love that feels secure, connected, and true — you’re in the right place.

35: Fifty Shades of Red: Very Early Indicators of Coercive Control
Welcome to another episode of The Good Mood Clinic Podcast!
Managing all the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic can be tough and make it hard for many of us to remain grounded during these challenging times. That’s why we need to talk openly with our kids about anything that could be worrying them and spend some extra time on our self-care right now.
Gemma and Justine are passionate about helping women make better choices in their relationships. In this new series of episodes, they will be focusing on helping women to identify the red flags that tend to show up very early on when dating, or in relationships, that could potentially lead to emotional unavailability in a partner, a partner being controlling, or a more dangerous outcome.
In the past, Justine and Gemma have both been in relationships with unavailable partners. Many of their clients have also experienced problematic relationship patterns. In this episode, they will be talking about some of the markers that might show up soon after you meet someone that could give away a tendency for them to become controlling and toxic in a relationship. Stay tuned today to learn about coercive control and how to spot some of the darker red flags that might show up early on when you are dating someone.
