CHOICE THEORY IRELAND
YOU WERE BORN TO BE FREE.
Free to think for yourself.
Free to choose your own way.
Free to live, not just exist.
Free to be exactly who you want to be.
Free to be YOU!
Free to do YOU!

Who did you want to be before this world told you who to be? Who were you before all the limiting belief were placed on you? What could you do before you told yourself you couldn’t do that?

Choice Theory invites us to return to who we authentically are. We don’t need to add anything to ourselves to live fully. All we need to do to be free is strip away and peel back all the layers that were placed on us out of fear.

Who am I? How do I operate as a human being. Do I believe I can create the life I truly want? Do I believe I get to choose?

Choice Theory teaches us to operate from Internal Control Psychology. It is the key to your personal freedom. Why not give it a try? What do you have to lose? For many others, it worked. It can for you too!

Let 2026 be the year where you’re not going to play small anymore. You have a beautiful life to live. Here’s to great Choices 🌻

LOYALTY BEGINS WITH SELF LOYALTY, the willingness to stand by your values even when doing so costs comfort, approval, or silence. When someone claps for you only in private, they are revealing the limits of their own courage, not your worth. Because loyalty without visibility is not loyalty, it is convenience.

True leaders are built, not taught. They are shaped through struggle, through falling and rising, through learning what it means to be alone and determined not to leave others abandoned in that same place. From that pain comes a vow: “I will be the safety that I did not have.”

Leadership without loyalty creates fear. Leadership with loyalty creates psychological safety, the ground on which people can grow, speak, challenge, and contribute without shrinking their truth.

And yes, loyalty takes courage. Courage to say publicly what you stand for privately. Courage to say what is right, not what is popular. Courage to choose “we” over “me.”

In the end, the greatest gift we can offer another is the certainty that our integrity will not collapse under pressure. That our soul is not for sale. That our words and actions match. That they never have to wonder where we stand.

Leaders are not made in comfort. They are built in truth. Until you can lead yourself, you will seek someone else to lead you. Be a leader, not a follower.

Therapy supports us in deeply exploring where we lost our own internal locus of evaluation. Recovering ourself again is a home coming to self. You are the person you have been seeking to lead you all along. You do not need to be led, you are willing to be an equal team player, but the days of leaders “herding sheep” are thankfully coming to an end.

Be a part of that change by your willingness to explore the parts of self that want you to play small for safety. Be brave - we will never learn anything about ourself in places of comfort 💜

ON BEHALF OF MYSELF Norah Finn, Senior Instructor Choice Theory Ireland, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to this amazing group of students who have just completed their Basic Intensive Training in Choice Theory, Reality Therapy, and Glasserian Psychology, at at in Clondalkin.

I enjoyed every moment of this journey with you all and look forward to our continued journey and training together. What a training we've had together. I feel so privileged to get to work at a job I love. Supporting others in unlocking the door to their own personal freedom, never feels like work. I am honoured you chose me, and my services to train with.

Thank you all for your beautiful minds, enthusiastic way of being, eager participation, generosity of spirit, your contribution to your own learning, and such a sense of fun. As Dr Glasser says, "fun is the genetic reward for learning", and we certainly had lots of both. I wish you all every success and happiness as you move forward in your life and career.

Your family are blessed to receive you home this evening as Choice Theory people. I have no doubt they'll learn so much from you along the way. I hope you celebrate your wonderful achievement- it is not called an "Intensive" training for nothing. Well well done to you all. Welcome to a Choice Theory way of living, and to Choice Theory Ireland.

22/11/2025

WHERE THERE IS NO SELF-AWARENESS, or ability to reflect on one’s own failings, there can be no true personal responsibility. Without responsibility, harmful behaviors are bound to be repeated.

When someone is aware of their behaviour, but still refuses to take responsibility, that persons refusal to accept responsibility means that they intend to repeat the behavior.

A mistake made with awareness is not a mistake, it’s a choice.

Be cautious with people who avoid personal responsibility and accountability. A relationship cannot grow, heal, be equal, shared, or saved, when one person refuses to own their behaviour.

Lack of personal responsibility and accountability are indicators of a relationship that will be grounded in passive aggression and coercive control.

Mentally healthy people do not behave with a lack of self responsibility in this world. Being able to take responsibility and accountability for the impact your behavior has on others, is an indicator of mental health.

CHOICE THEORY is a training for you to take care of your own psychological well being. It is delivered for you, for you to live a life of internal control psychology. It is not a training to become a counsellor or psychotherapist - it never was. It is founded on ideas originated and developed by Dr William Glasser. It is a journey of personal development that can be used as a wonderful tool alongside any profession. It is a study of humanistic psychology, why and how we operate as we do. If you're interested in improving your own life, then Choice Theory is for you 🌻

On behalf of myself, and Choice Theory Ireland, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to this inspiring Management Team from St Andrews Resource Centre in Pearse Street, who completed their Basic Intensive Training in Choice Theory, Reality Therapy, and Glasserian Psychology today with

I am in awe of these people and the services they deliver to their local and surrounding communities. From babies to seniors, and everything in between, these people work tirelessly to bring quality to those they serve. After you spend time in their company and experience their services, delivered by their unique way of caring and supporting others, you quickly realise that this is not work, it is a vocation.

There was nothing at all I could teach these people about community, they educated me in that respect, they are all highly trained and skilled people, and I do hope the Choice Theory I delivered will support them in taking excellent care of their own needs and wellness. They are most definitely needed in their community for a long time to come. (This was a group of 16, unfortunately 4 were not present for the photograph).

Thank you so much to each and every one of you for the beautiful welcome and hospitality you gave me while I was there. And the wonderful laughs we had as we were learning. (I learned today what “emotional hair” is, thank you Richard - never laughed as hard, gonna share that with all my students).

I genuinely felt a bit sad leaving their services today, I will miss them and going to spend time with them on a Thursday. Thank you Catherine Byrne, CEO, for trusting CTI to deliver this work to yourself and the wonderful team at .

Thank you Elaine for my invite to the lighting of your Christmas Tree on December 4th. I can’t wait to see you all then.

You have all inspired me, thank you for being YOU, Norah XX

CHOICE THEORY IRELAND 🌻
SELF CARE IS A MENTALLY HEALTHY CHOICE. We all need to rest and recharge. What do you do for self care? How do you invest in yourself? Where are you investing your energy? Whatever it is, that’s what you’re growing! Self care is vital for us to live a mentally healthy lifestyle.

Have a look at how you live your life. Is how you care for yourself how you would want a loved one to care for themself? If yes, keep doing what you’re doing. If no, could it be time to make some changes?

Good or bad, there is a consequence to every action we make. Our behavior will always catch up on us. Make the choice to take the time to take care of you - before the choice makes you! 🌻

“CHILDREN SHOULD BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD”. How many of us spent years unlearning that message?
You do have a voice.
You do have the right to express your wants and needs.

You do have the right to say NO, that is not acceptable. STOP, that is enough.
When we teach children that politeness matters more than self-expression, we put them at risk of hiding their discomfort, their preferences, and even their boundaries.

A child who is afraid of seeming impolite is a child who may go along with what others want, even when it doesn’t feel right.

Teach children that they should never accept bad behavior. They grow into adults who accepts and respects the boundaries of self and others.

Teach them that their feelings matter.
Teach them that it is safe and healthy to speak up.
That’s how we raise confident, self-aware, boundary-setting humans.
Thats what self love is.
Thats how we build a strong sense of self worth within our small humans.
