Emotional Gym

I thought I was sorted, had it all together, didn’t need anybody else, and then my world fell apart. I needed help, and this was the beginning of my journey of self-discovery and healing. I now help clients in therapy from all walks of life: couples, teenagers, men, women. Sometimes they just need one therapy session to turn things around. In this episode, I discuss why therapy isn’t for weak people – it’s for courageous people! It’s for people who want to change, who want to grow and strengthen their mental health. This takes work, discipline and courage. To come to therapy, to ask for help, to be honest with ourselves is to finally move towards authenticity.

Are you stressed? Do you often feel stressed? In this episode we’re going to talk about types of stress and give you our top three stress busters. Stress can be healthy and unhealthy. When we apply the right pressure to our life – we have some tension and stress, it can feel healthy, we are in balance. But many of us in our busy, fast, 24/7 always-on culture are feeling stressed and feel close to “burnout”. The opposite end of the spectrum is “boreout” – when we don’t have enough stress in our life, we may feel unchallenged in our work, not working, lack of social connections, overcome with unhealthy habits being guided by external sources.

We're going to focus on anger. We all get angry, but how do we get angry? Some of us may get angry by being shouty, for others it may just seep out. But classical anger management isn’t very effective because because what we learn is how to manage our anger. Not to show it, keep it under wraps, suck it up, leaving it to explode or seep out. When we become more aware of our anger and listen to it, it can have real benefits for growth. We can start to draw on the healthy aspects of anger. In this episode. I explain the five styles of anger and share two emotional fitness workouts to help you discover your default anger style and become more attuned to it.
