    All the ways of dealing with anxious thoughts

  2. Expressing and holding boundaries

    May 29

    Expressing and holding boundaries

    Expressing and holding boundaries can be tricky sometimes. That might be because you don't feel like you have the right words to use, it might be because you are uncomfortable with conflict or don't know what to do if someone pushes back, or it might even be that ultimately, you don't know what you really want or perhaps don't feel like you have the right to ask for it or to have it. Either way, I hope there's something in here for you. Thank you for listening.

  3. OCD

    OCD

    OCD is probably one of the most misunderstood anxiety issues and because of that, it can feel very difficult to face. However, like any other issue: once you understand it, it becomes a little clearer and that bit easier to see a way through. That's my intention in this episode: to share an overview of what it is, how it works, what might bring it about and what we can do about it. Thank you for listening.

  7. Why we all see things differently

    Why we all see things differently

    In today’s podcast, we are talking about how none of us see the world exactly as it is, and that each of us sees it through our own individual lens. Apple Spotify For me, this is useful to understand because it can help in three ways: it can help us deal with the way that we think and feel, it can help us be a bit more understanding towards ourselves, and it can help us relate better to other people. I hope you enjoy it! Next week it will be a bonus podcast: Breaking out of Overthinking, so if you fancy getting hold of that one, treat yourself to a little upgrade.
