Have you noticed that life seems to be increasingly  intense? Maybe you have you been going through turmoil, challenges and difficulties in the last 6 months, or even longer? If you have, you’re certainly not on your own

When it comes to understanding our health challenges, we need to understand the context within which they arise.

Health challenges are more than medical labels, they are experiences that present themselves as opportunities to understand ourselves and the wider context within which we exist. This is a spiritual notion because it invites us to develop self-awareness, self-compassion, and see ourselves in a new way.

In this episode we are going to dive into some of these bigger issues and as always, offer some useful practical tips to help you on your journey.

In today’s episode we take our first steps into exploring the nature of stress and its connection with health challenges. 

We talk a great deal about stress in modern culture, but how much do we really know about it. Is stress that overwhelming agitated feeling that we have when too much is going on, or is there a lot more to stress than we realise?

Is there good stress as well as bad stress; stress that we are not aware of as well as stress we are aware of?

What role does education play, how can we develop better self-awareness and learn how to self-regulate.

We talk about the different types of stress and how stress impacts the body and brain. We dive into some of the theories of stress

We discuss some of the causes and stages of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, and other chronic health challenges.

And, as always there will be some useful tips and hints for improving your health and wellbeing.

In this edition of the Beyond Symptoms podcast, we explore the nature of symptoms of chronic fatigue, chronic pain, anxiety and depression, and seek to address some fundamental questions:

What are symptoms, what do they mean, what are they trying to tell us?  Should we see symptoms as something to get rid of as quickly and effectively as possible, or should we see them as purposeful messengers?

What sort of impact does our perspective have? And, what difference does it make when we change our perspective and mindset on the meaning of symptoms. If we do experience symptoms of one sort or another, how does our perspective and interpretation of symptoms impact our overall health and recovery journey?

In this Episode, Clare discusses her personal experience with skin cancer surgery and the emotional challenges that she faced. We highlight the importance of acknowledging and working through emotions and critically how to do that. We explore the intricate relationship between emotions and thinking, emphasising the need to recognise and interpret emotions to avoid negative ‘mind-loops’ that can have a destructive impact on behaviour, outcomes, relationships, health challenges, and overall sense of reality. We discuss the societal pressure on men to suppress emotions, leading to negative consequences including mental health issues. Finally, we offer practical advice on how to handle conflicts and emotional feelings in a constructive manner.

This episode explores the nature of emotion and the role it plays in everyday life. We discuss the social and cultural influences on emotion and emotional expression and the resulting impact on our behaviour. We explore the power of looking inward and the role this plays in our health, wellbeing, and personal growth. We cover areas including boundary setting, trust, authenticity and integrity, and offer some strategies for how to handle emotions in a constructive manner.

What are symptoms and what are they trying to tell us? In this episode, we discuss the nature of symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Anxiety and Depression from the perspective that symptoms are purposeful messengers rather than evil invaders.
