AuthenticallyYOU The Podcast

Do you find yourself always trying to manage and control parts of yourself through fear of them coming out and then being judged and rejected?

Do you have a belief that you are bad and unlovable and then spend every waking hour trying to prove your 'goodness' and lovability?

Well that was me for 30 years and it led me down a dark path of isolation, loneliness and unfulfillment!

What I discovered over these last 6 years was that these parts 0f me that I was trying to hide from the world (which then come out in unhealthy ways) just wanted my acceptance and love, instead of everyone else's that I was trying to gain by presenting a socially acceptable version of myself.

Once I started to invest in myself and work with people that were able to offer me the safety I needed to open up, I began recognising that I CAN show up in my wholeness and express myself authentically and as a result of that, I no longer needed to waste so much energy trying to hide parts of myself and instead could use my energy to have fun, invest in those people closest to me, what I want to create in the world and THAT is what has brought people into my life that are open minded, kind and are also on their own inner journey!

As cliché as it sounds your vibe really does attract your tribe.

throughout my 20's I wasted so much time 'living for the weekend' and in this episode I reflect on what was really going on for me and what I really wanted in my life.

I share how I feel on a day to day basis as well as how I am experiencing life now compared to in my 20's.

In this episode I wanted to talk about the stigma around male sexuality, as I believe it's the very thing that men struggle with the most, certainly true for myself!

On one hand our sexuality is vital to further the species and on the other hand our sexuality is 'dirty' 'perverted' 'seedy' 'sleazy' oh and not to mention dangerous!

Think that may affect the way men view their sexuality...

Fucking right it does!

This leaves men feeling like they can't bring that raw, primal 'I want to fuck you and make you my little slut' sexual identity into a loving relationship and this leaves our partners feeling like we're just not fully in (no pun intended).

I want us men to be able to express our sexuality and open up about it just as freely as women and that is just one reason why I have felt called to work more with men!

So...

Yes we ARE sexual beings AND we can bring all of ourselves into a loving relationship with someone that WANTS to really get to know ALL of us and it all starts with YOU being willing to do the work around really owning ALL of yourself!

Enjoy,

Dan.

Most of us spend our lives trying to get that metaphorical pat on the back to let us know that we're enough.

We waste so much of our lives trying to fit into a mould of who we think we should be and who we think is more acceptable and lovable.

Unfortunately this causes us years of suffering because we end up creating a life that isn't really what we want.

We settle for much less than we want and deserve and then can't work out why we feel unfulfilled.

I done this for 30 years of my life until I was faced with the truth that I just didn't love myself.

5 years on and thousands of pounds invested in help and support I have now got the kind of peace in my life I craved for all those years!

You really can create the kind of life and relationships you truly desire but it all starts with the relationship you have with yourself!

In this episode I am joined by Luzia Eisenhut who I connected with in our compassionate inquiry year long psychotherapy training which was created by Dr Gabor Maté.

We discuss how and why compassion is vital when it comes to healing and liberation from our trauma responses.

If you're just beginning your healing journey, or find yourself struggling with anything at all then this episode will really help you understand why and how to move forward.

As always if you have any questions then please reach out as i'm here to support YOU.

In this together,

In this episode i'm joined by Hayley Perkins who is a food addiction recovery therapist.

We discuss our own therapeutic journeys and how therapy has positively impacted our own lives personally and also how we are now able to create the kind of safety that our clients need in order for them to be able to open up and truly be seen and heard.

This is an amazing conversation that delves into childhood wounds and how to reparent our inner child.

As always if this episode brings up any thoughts or feelings you'd like to explore then my (and i'm sure Hayley's) inbox is always open.

Much love,

Dan.
