Finding Emotional Freedom to Scale Your Business with Dr Clair Burley


Listen Later

This week Dawn and Tracy are joined by clinical psychologist Dr Clair Burley, who specialises in attachment trauma. In a fascinating interview, Dr Clair breaks down attachment styles, how we develop them and how they contribute to our behaviour in relationships, both professional and personal. 



KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Dr Clair talks about self sabotage and how this is attributable to early childhood experiences such as facing criticism or humiliation.
  • Dr Clair explains that starting your own business is, physiologically, very similar to having a child, and how this process can trigger attachment trauma. 
  • Dr Clair explains attachment styles and how they can contribute to the problems in relationships when partners have opposing styles. 
  • Most people are drawn to partners with similar attachment styles. Dr Clair explains that this is us trying to have a ‘do over’ and heal our own traumas. 

 

BEST MOMENTS

“Fear of success is as common as fear of failure and this is all down to self sabotage.”

“If you want to feel an inner sense of happiness and fulfilment then it’s beneficial to start looking at what your emotional triggers may be.”

“We’re drawn to people that are similar, even if it makes us unhappy, it can make us feel safe.”

ABOUT THE HOSTS

Dawn and Tracy are real women who are fed up of all the “noise” out there in the real world. Life isn’t simply rainbows and unicorns, it's broken relationships, hard work, hot sweats and never ending laundry baskets.  But life as a real woman is also about being honest, having good gossip and speaking our truths. Whether it’s peeling yourself into your spandex for a night out, or running a business meeting barefoot because the heel has fallen off your stilettos, there is always something to laugh about in life.

Dawn is mid 50’s mid menopause straight talking business maverick.  Four kids, three grandchildren, two businesses, one husband and a self proclaimed “hottie”.

Tracy is a mid 50’s awesome mum, business and property mentor. Proud of her raw, honest nature, “bonkers” sense of humour and good old-fashioned northern humility.
