RAW CHATTER‪!‬ Vicky Midwood

In this solo episode I talk about why we may be reluctant to feel compassionate with ourselves, but why, if we want to reduce stress and anxiety long term creating a self-compassion practice is a must do!



Self-compassion is NOT letting yourself off the hook, nor is it selfish!



It's one of the keys components to improving confidence and building self-worth.


The link to The Self-Compassion Challenge I mention is here: https://shorturl.at/rkVVy



A quick recap of the benefits of self-compassion:

1. Reduces Self-Criticism

2. Promotes Emotional Resilience

3. Encourages Self-Support

4.Improves Emotional Regulation

5. Builds a sense of Safety

6. Promotes health & Wellbeing

In this solo episode I talk about communication being a skill we all need help to learn and how being conscious of our words is key to helping us feel more connected to ourselves.



I talk about Why the word 'why' can be detrimental in childhood and adulthood, as well as recognising your body language and facial expression may be sending a completely different message than the words that are coming out of your mouth.



And I set a little challenge for you too...

In this episode I'm chatting with Laura Walker about her work as an exercise therapist how she started in cardiology, moved to diabetes, then helping older adults to prevent falls, and much much more.



She talks about the biggest fears people have - not doing the exercise right and worrying if it will make things works!



Laura understands NOT just the way the body functions but also medications and how they affect movement and mindset too.



Her work is about empowering you and helping YOU to understand this stuff too, so you can re-connect to your body and look to change your medication appropriately as you bring regular exercise into your lifestyle.

This week I'm joined from the Netherlands by Irene Kloppenburg a transformational life coach who uses a
unique form of treatment and coaching for stress, anxiety, phobia's PTSD and more.

 

She lived in a commune, one of 11 children who felt they were not accepted or loved by their own father!



Irene became a teacher who had a special gift for
being able to see in children and young teens their strengths rather than their weaknesses.

 

She talks about her passion for helping people, music and her own journey to healing from family trauma and not 'good enoughness'

 

A must listen for highly sensitive people and those struggling with negative childhood memories, anxiety,
phobia's, trauma or PTSD.
