Finding Freedom

Larissa is a well-established author with works ranging from science fiction to self-help. She is the founder of Next Page Wellness Coaching, where she helps people write, edit, market and publish their own books.

Larissa joins Dawn in this episode to explore her personal experiences with anxiety and burnout. She also talks about how writing helped her heal and why her mission in life is to help others overcome the difficulties life sometimes presents to us.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Larissa has experienced anxiety since childhood but it wasn’t until she was an adult that she got diagnosed with anxiety. Giving it a name meant she could start to try and treat it.
• There is almost always a lightbulb moment or something that triggers the idea that things could be different that allows people to seek help with their anxiety. For Larissa, it was after having children that her anxiety became unbearable.
• Larissa had to take leave from work, she started therapy and taking medication to help. It was then she discovered creative writing. writing gave her something outside of herself to focus on.
• Whilst writing, Larissa started doing internal work on herself. Alongside her therapy and medication, this allowed her to change the way she thought and help combat her anxiety.
• Anxiety makes us believe we have limited options and choices but this is a lie. We have a choice in almost anything we do.
• Often anxiety is something that is with your for life, but you can learn to manage it better and live a more fulfilled and happy life.
• Our beliefs and fear of failure often come from childhood. The school system in particular teaches us that we can be wrong about almost anything and for many, this can begin the anxiety cycle.
• Having a support structure is invaluable to cope with anxiety. Sometimes we need a safe space, a person or people that understand and know what support to give us.
• To help and support others, we have to acknowledge their state. We can’t just offer a solution or simply tell them to be positive.

BEST MOMENTS 

“I remember feeling like this as a child but never having a name for it”

“The problems don’t go away, they just change”

“Choice is an incredibly powerful thing”

“The fear response switches off the thinking brain, the logical brain”

ABOUT THE HOST

Dawn Morgan

Dawn is a hypnotherapist and resilience coach, trainer, mentor and business owner. Dawn has experienced trauma, terrorist attacks, divorce, being a single parent on benefits, redundancy (more than once) relationship breakdowns... and a whole lot more; and she has always bounced back. Dawn believes that life is for living and we can learn about ourselves from everything we experience, good or bad. We can take those experiences and use them to grow, or use them to shrink... our choice. Dawn chose growth and thinks you should too.

We all have everything we need within us; hope, resilience, compassion, wisdom, confidence; Dawn’s mission is to help you uncover yours!

There is always a lot of talk about freedom in the world of coaching, but what does this actually mean? In this episode, Dawn explores her own definition of freedom and what she looks to achieve for her clients.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Dawn aims to help people free themselves from anxiety and live the lives they are destined to live.
• Freedom is a principle, not a single set of beliefs or rules.
• Our personal beliefs can have a powerful impact on our unconscious and therefore, our anxiety.
• If we blindly stick to the rules we have created that don’t serve us, this prevents us from the freedom we should be feeling and living.
• Freedom to Dawn is being able to be whom she wants to be and letting go of limiting beliefs.

BEST MOMENTS 

“Our unconscious minds don’t need our conscious permission to do what they do”

“What rules, labels or beliefs are you holding onto?”

“Freedom is about making my own choices, about what I think and feel, what I let in”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Barbara StClaire-Ostwald, MA, BSc (Hons) Master Executive Coach, Interculturalist, expert in Trauma Sensitive Coaching and Neuroscience, works with and supports individuals and groups around the World who have been impacted by trauma. By incorporating Trauma Sensitive Practices in their lives her clients learn to let go of the past, avoid getting caught up in worries about the future and experience much deeper connections with others and themselves, so they can live a more regulated, stress-free life.

She has had an interesting career working with International Diplomats, Financial Services i.e. Investment Banking and Asset Management including IFI’s, the UK Civil Service and Government. Barbara has been self-employed as an Interculturalist and Coach since 2005 after graduating from Oxford Brookes University with an MA in Coaching & Mentoring Practices; a former Board Member of APECS (Association for Professional Executive Coaching & Supervision) as International Director, ED&I. In these roles as coach, mentor and supervisor she has promoted sustainability, inclusiveness and safe spaces, supporting her clients through social pressures on decision making and utilising tools such as embodied self-awareness.

Her practice in the field of Trauma Sensitive Coaching and Neuroscience, in which she has been studying and working for some years now, lie deep within her own personal lived experiences of trauma and PTSD including the conditions which have arisen and played a fundamental role in this.

What we can learn from Barbara, a Master Executive Coach & Supervisor, Interculturalist and expert in Trauma Sensitive Coaching and Neuroscience….?

In order for us to learn how to heal and transform our body and our mind, we need a regulated nervous system. Trauma impacts our autonomic nervous system which is in charge of our basic survival stratagems such as our ‘flight, fight, freeze’ survival strategies. Many research articles on stress tell us that stressors have a major influence upon mood, our sense of well-being, behaviour, and health and that unchecked, stress can take a toll on our physiological and psychological conditions which can surface at any point in our lives.

I am developing a new programme to support trauma sufferers like myself, to shift from a dysregulated to a more regulated state of being helping them to let go of the past, to heal their mind and their body and enhance their quality of life.”

Molly Desch is a certified life coach and has developed the alcohol-free foundation programme to help others after her own struggles with drinking. Molly joins Dawn in this episode to share her personal journey and why she is now passionate about helping others to overcome their problems, particularly around drinking and learning better ways to cope with the stresses of life. Dawn and Molly also explore society's impact on problem drinking and its strong links with anxiety.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Molly struggled with alcohol as a working mother, she used it to help her de-stress and that resulted in her drinking heavily every day as a crutch to deal with life.
• Although many people use alcohol to relax it actually increases anxiety chemically in the brain.
• After going through a divorce, Molly’s alcoholism accelerated, her behaviour felt out of control and she found herself depressed and suicidal. She knew something had to change.
• Molly started to get sober by attending AA meetings. She found the beginning of recovery quite simple, helped in some ways by the Covid pandemic. 
• In the second year of giving up alcohol, she relapsed which made her realise she didn’t have the underlying structure to live sober. This is what led to her becoming a coach as well as learning how to build a solid foundation to aid her in living sober.
• It’s so easy to fall into old habits, traits and coping mechanisms. Until you work on the reasons behind what you are struggling with and learn new ways to deal with your problems you will inevitably slip back into old ways.
• Being self-aware and talking to yourself in times of stress means that you are reprogramming your subconscious, it’s incredibly powerful.

BEST MOMENTS 

“For many years of my adult life, I was a very heavy drinker”

“It [alcohol] becomes a crutch”

“It’s not enough to say I’m going to quit drinking, you have to evaluate your coping mechanisms and build a foundation”

“By talking to yourself your sub-conscious mind is always listening”

ABOUT THE HOST

Dawn Morgan

Dawn is a hypnotherapist and resilience coach, trainer, mentor and business owner. Dawn has experienced trauma, terrorist attacks, divorce, being a single parent on benefits, redundancy (more than once) relationship breakdowns... and a whole lot more; and she has always bounced back. Dawn believes that life is for living and we can learn about ourselves from everything we experience, good or bad. We can take those experiences and use them to grow, or use them to shrink... our choice. Dawn chose growth and thinks you should too.

We all have everything we need within us; hope, resilience, compassion, wisdom, confidence; Dawn’s mission is to help you uncover yours!

In this episode of Overcoming Anxiety, Dawn explores how we create our own reality with the conscious, unconscious and subconscious mind. Discover how we perceive, span and define our own reality by the things we focus on in different moments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

- We only notice between five and nine things in any one moment. That's our conscious mind, so by definition, we are not noticing a whole host of other things that are going on around us.

- If we are focused on something like a car or a house or a new pair of shoes, that is when we start noticing that what we’re focusing on gets bigger, gets more important and comes into our line of sight, it's there in our thoughts.

- Whilst our conscious mind only sees between five or nine things at any one time, our unconscious mind sees and notices everything. Our subconscious mind is scanning for things that might be dangerous to us.

Remember your feelings and your feeling state in any one moment doesn't define who you are. It's your conscious, unconscious mind pulling up a whole lot of stuff from the past.

BEST MOMENTS
“Why are there so many different interpretations of what is being seen?”
“When we focus on five to nine we then see them more clearly.”
“Our deductions of a situation will be different to someone else who was seeing a different five to nine
other things at the same moment.”
“It’s useful to understand what others may be focusing on in our everyday encounters.”

In this episode, Dawn talks about change, why it’s so difficult to do and also what causes us to be so anxious and resistant to change in the first place. She explores why our anxiety and fear can be restrictive and how we can overcome them too.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• The beliefs, expectations and rules we learn as we grow as people create a restriction on our lives.
• Our minds do not like change, which is why the idea of change can be frightening. But regardless, if we want to change we can and we have to push through this fear and experience some discomfort.
•  Ask yourself simply, is the fear you are feeling justified? If not, what is stopping you?
• Anxiety often shows up when there are a lot of ‘unknowns’. If you can reduce your unknowns this can help you deal with your anxiety.
• Fear and excitement feel very similar, try and trick your fear and anxiety into affirmations and feeling excited!

BEST MOMENTS 

“We are born, we are not born with confidence issues”

“Our unconscious mind doesn’t like new things; it likes what is familiar so it’s going to throw up some fear”

“Your logical brain knows that change is necessary” 

“The danger is created in your head, around the things you[‘re going to do…but you know it’s not real”

Join Dawn as she talks about one of her success stories with a woman called Pam whom she interviewed on episode 6 of the podcast. Dawn worked with Pam to overcome her anxiety after a traumatic event and in this episode explores the power of taking that first step, or the next step, in overcoming anxiety.

Pam’s Interview on episode 6 of the Overcoming Anxiety Podcast.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• It’s incredible that Pam has got her life back and has managed to go on to do the things her anxiety held her back from doing but it has also had an incredibly positive impact on her family.
• By focusing on the next step, Pam and others suffering from anxiety can focus on what needs to happen next. But it’s important to also recognise how far they have come too.
• We have to remind ourselves and recognise our achievements and the positives, this is how we continue to move forward.
• Anything you have overcome in the past started with that first step.

BEST MOMENTS 

“All Pam had to do, was take the first step”

“She realises how far she has come but doesn’t remind herself of it often, all she is seeing is the next obstacle”

“Everything is progress”

Society seems to constantly criticise and judge people for things that are none of their business. Join Dawn in this episode where Dawn talks about judgement in the media and explores the wide-ranging impact this has on us, particularly our anxiety.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• There have been a lot of opinions and judgements in the media after the death of the Queen. Many of these appear to be alarmist and is designed to simply push buttons.
• People who are listening to these judgements and negativity can easily take them on themselves as an individual. It can creep into our everyday lives causing anxiety.
• People are allowed to have private lives regardless of who they are and what they do.
• Much anxiety that people suffer from and feel, is to do with how they are perceived by others.

BEST MOMENTS 

“There’s a tendency to say stuff just because you can, not because you’re trying to make a point”

“How many people sit there and worry constantly about how we are going to be received by others, what others may think?”

“It gives a very skewed view of the world, that everyone is watching every slight thing we do”

CONT

Tawni is a certified hypnotherapist, author, volunteer and advocate within the LGBTQ community. Before her current career, she worked for 20 years as an engineer specialising in the TV entertainment industry.  Her current passion as a therapist is to help those in the LBGTQ community in overcoming the many high barriers that exist.  Her advocacy and career are focused on empowering individuals to continue their paths of authenticity while finding holistic ways to overcome their challenges.

Dawn and Tawni discuss Tawni’s own story with anxiety including her difficulties with her personal identity as well as how she helps others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Tawni is a transgendered woman and recognises that a lot of the source of her anxiety was due to not accepting who she truly is for a lot of her life.
• Carving out your own path can be scary, there is a lot of fear around making decisions for yourself.
• Living in an identity that isn’t truly yourself, is a quite common human experience. So many individuals aren’t living their true lives or their true selves because of societal pressures as well as those imposed on us by our families or religion.
• Sometimes people come into our lives at a time when we might need them. But not everyone is meant to be in our lives forever, we have to learn to let relationships go.
• Whilst going through her gender transition, the rest of Tawni’s life transitioned too, from her career to her finances.
• When trying to find yourself, it’s important to have a solid support network to help you. This can be close friends, family or even a therapist.
• Hypnotherapy is something that had such a significant impact on Tawni, that she knew she needed to share it with others. This is where she has found her purpose.

BEST MOMENTS 

“All that denial, caused tremendous pain and suffering”

“The joy of being yourself is phenomenal”

"Whatever challenge, whatever difficulty you have to go through to be yourself, it’s totally worth it”

“The act of learning is such a humble thing, but it is also an amazing thing”

Gina has been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 2 decades and has spent the past 25 years of her career helping individuals and families learn to adapt and cope with difficult life transitions.

She joins Dawn in this episode to talk about her journey to becoming a therapist, what high functioning anxiety looks like and how we can work to beat the cycles of anxiety in both ourselves and others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• When a cascade of things that Gina couldn’t control occurred, she realised she had been suffering from high functioning anxiety most of her life.
• When Gina started recognising her anxiety and allowing herself to be more honest and vulnerable with her family, she found that her family’s stress and anxiety started to reduce.
• After working with older clients, Gina started to wonder if she could start to work with teens, so she could stop cycles of anxieties before they take hold. This led to her creating the Combating Teen Anxiety programme.
• Fear of failure, even in young people, can be a massive contributor to anxiety and mood regulation, often then feeding into overwhelm.
• When individuals have negative beliefs about themselves, they often look to their environment to validate these feelings. Creating a vicious cycle.
• Parents need to look at their own mental health and difficulties, trying to work on these to ensure the behaviours aren’t modelled by their children.
• From a young age, open communication with our children builds trust and prevents a lot of shame and anxiety from being internalised.

BEST MOMENTS 

“As long as you keep getting on with stuff and as long as you keep getting on with stuff it’s like it [anxiety] doesn’t exist”

“I started to recognise that I can’t control everything”

“As humans, we’re far more than just a few labels”
