Healing at Last. The Podcast

When we think of experienced trauma, we often associate it with extreme difficulty, very limited life experiences, a breakdown even, but what about when trauma is insidious & low lying. When it doesn’t have the big stories of breakdown attached. Instead it’s pushed away and managed day to day, you tell yourself it’s not important, it could be worse but still, it pops up in everyday life. What then?   

My guest today is Armandee Drew and this was her experience of trauma until one day…

Armandee is an executive trauma informed leadership coach. She & I have been working together now for a few years both personally & professionally and I’m delighted that we are able to bring this discussion to you.   

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin. 

With Love, Shauna X

In today’s episode I’m joined by the founder of Roe Valley Therapy Centre, Siobhan Wison-McGlinchey. We are talking about anxiety in children. What are its presenting issues, treatment and what we can do as parents to help ourselves to help our children. 

A quick google search will tell you that in Northern Ireland alone: ‘1 in 8 children and young people meet the diagnostic criteria for common mood and anxiety disorders’.

I can certainly reiterate that as it’s something that I am asked to work with every single day and Siobhan is my first referral pathway.

A qualified child & adolescent psychotherapist, humanistic integrative counsellor and a play therapist, Siobhan is known as ‘The Creative Psychotherapist’. She specialises in working with early developmental trauma and is passionate about working with both children and adults. As well as her 1-1 sessions, Siobhan has also developed a number of programmes and workshops which I’ll link in the show notes below. 

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

In today’s episode I’m joined by psychotherapist, Jason Shiers.

From the age of 10 years old, Jason had 15 different diagnoses in the mental health system and was told by professionals that he had depression. They even questioned if he was ever going to get better. But he knew that these ‘diagnosis’ were only a description of his symptoms. He also knew that the current systems were not set up to help him find the cause. 

“I could sit in the dark, it was comfortable there but no one knew where the light switch was. No one ever pointed me within or what that meant. I didn’t know that joy existed” 

Today Jason is the founder of ‘Wide World Coaching’, creator of the ‘Infite Recovery Project’ and host of ‘Misunderstandings of the Mind’ podcast. So, I think you’ll agree this is an amazing story of transformation. 

At the very end of our conversation, I asked Jason “if you had of heard our conversation today, all them years ago when you were in that darkness what would you have thought?”

He said this: “I would like to think that I would have sensed that there was something different from what I know in the suffering. A different place to look, a different way to see things. Hope…” 

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey.

In the last 2 episodes we’ve talked about primary & secondary pain. Today, to finish off the series we’re going to look at ‘the hierarchy of pain’ 

All three of these are interlinked and are a particular phenomenon during the healing journey but where we begin today in this discussion is the dissolving of the secondary pain. 

I’m going to read for you part of the 7th chapter of the book and while you are listening or watching on youtube, again my intention is for you to think about your own inner world - Can you see your own hierarchy of pain? 

I’ve also linked below to the complete chapter of the book. When you have listened to this episode I suggest reading that chapter and working through the short exercises that are included. This will help you immensely on your healing journey. 

With Love, Shauna X

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey.

Last week talked about secondary pain. Today we’re going to have an indepth look into primary pain, what it means and how it drives secondary pain . 

I’m going to read for you part of the 2nd chapter of book and while you are listening or watching on youtube my intention is for you to think about your own inner world - what is your secondary pain & what is your primary pain. Can you identify the difference?  

Primary pain is the root cause of our whole pain experience and is felt in the emotional body. It is the endless thought streams. The endless stream of words, thoughts, ideas, identification and evidence of the pain you are experiencing and often it’s not available to our consciousness. 

Let me explain, let’s begin.

Welcome to the 4th season of the podcast, where I’ll be talking about finding & healing the root cause of our suffering. Understanding what happened inside of us as a result of our trauma and working with primary pain, so that we can finally heal and be free from the pain of our past. 

It’s going to be just you and me today and for the next 2 episodes because I want to start this season off by talking to you about the resistance or blocks that prevent us from healing. 

I want to begin by talking about the ‘products & functions of the mind’. You’re going to get a sneek peek of my upcoming book too because I’ll be reading a chapter that will explain and hopefully help you to understand the reasons why we get blocked and why so often we experience resistance to healing. 

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey. So, let’s begin.

In today’s episode I am joined by Dr. Kristin Wild, PhD & RPC. 

Dr. Kristin is the founder of Modern Health Solution, creator of Awareness Therapy and a holistic health educator.  

After years of treatment for her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis Kristin found herself on a constant cycle of hope-despair and when she inevitably hit rock bottom she knew she had to start finding answers to healing this disease herself. Now, she works with women who have autoimmune helping them discover their own healer within. 

I am often asked if I work directly with clients who have autoimmune. Although not directly, I do work with the trauma that may have been the cause of autoimmune, so I’m thrilled to have this conversation with a wonderful practitioner today who has so much experience & expertise on this subject to share with you all.  

If you have been suffering with autoimmune then you’ll not want to miss this episode. We are going to deep dive into its' causes, connections to trauma, the effects & most importantly, the treatments. 

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

With Love, Shauna X

This week I'm sharing Day 2 of my recent masterclass with the intention of  helping you if you are on a healing journey and have become stuck in that process. This will also be helpful for any therapists or coaches out there who’s clients are experiencing this too.


In this episode I'll introduce you to 'Wrapping'. A psychological phenomenon that is unique to my modality The Clearing Method. Over the next hour, I'm going to help you understand 'wrapping' in more detail with the intention that it helps move you (or your client) on to the next stage of the healing journey.

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

Over the next 2 weeks the episodes are going to be a little different because I want to share some content with you that I think will really help if you are on a healing journey and have become stuck in that process. This will also be helpful for any therapists or coaches out there who’s clients are experiencing this. 

When we are seeking answers for our pain & suffering, the source is usually found deep in the unexplored depths of past experiences. These unique experiences become locked into the body and mind.

The reality though, for most of us is that being invited to explore the source of that pain is terrifying. It's not a safe place to be and as a result the mind says “No, we will NOT go there!”

When that happens, we become stuck from any further therapeutic processing stopping us in our tracks on our healing journey. 

So how do we prevent this from happening? This is what I want to share with you over the next 2 weeks.  
I recently held a 2 Day workshop entitled: Why the Mind Says NO to Therapy. This week's podcast episode is the recording of Day 1 of the workshop. Next week, I’ll share Day 2 . 

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

Welcome to the 3rd season where I’ll be talking about finding & healing the root cause of our suffering. Understanding what happened inside of us as a result of our trauma and working with primary pain, so that we can finally heal and be free from the pain of our past. 

It’s just you and me again this week. No guests, just us and my thoughts on a particular subject. Today that is the topic of "I'm not enough"

I hear it time and time again in clinical session, I see it everywhere online but here's the thing..."I'm not enough" is not a generic statement and it is never as it seems when presented in therapy.

For each of us "I'm not enough" is as unique as our own finger print . Join me and I’ll explain more. 

I believe that we all have the ability to heal ourselves from within. It is my mission to show you how. It is my hope that these conversations go some way to help you on your own journey, so let's begin.

With Love and Positivity Always
