Soles to Soul Care for Trauma and AuDHD with Eve Menezes Cunningham

Do you follow your gut when it comes to your own self and Self care?

Do you know yourself well enough to know which foods and drinks support your mental and physical emotional health and which ones get in the way?

How might you get more curious (with compassion, not judgment) and make friendlier choices from now on?

Let us know in the comments :)

TODAY'S GUEST

Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas, a clinical neuroscientist and applied microbiologist with a rich background in human nutrition, carries over twenty years of experience across a spectrum of roles in healthcare, science, and technology.

His work, deeply rooted in understanding the microbiota-gut-brain axis, delves into how food and lifestyle interventions influence mood, cognition, and behaviour. With a doctoral degree focusing on the gut microbiome and mental health, Dr Miguel's research, including his recent publication on ADHD in the British Medical Journal, bridges the gap between academic insights and practical solutions.

As a neurodivergent person (both ADHD and autistic), he uniquely comprehends the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, infusing creativity as a pivotal tool for personal growth. His commitment to neurodiversity is further exemplified in his development of the "Thrive With ADHD” online course and his upcoming books with Jessica Kingsley/Hachette Books and Editorial Planeta/Alienta, aimed at practitioners and the general public, respectively. For more info on Dr Miguel, please visit https://drmiguelmateas.com

You can find his course Thrive With ADHD here: https://drmiguelmateas.com/thrive-with-adhd-course

WHO AM I?

I'm your host, Eve Menezes Cunningham, author of 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing, freelance journalist and Editor-in-Chief of the Irish Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I'm also an online trauma therapist (with lived experience), supervisor and Self care coach (integrating yoga therapy, NLP, EFT and crystals as appropriate) helping people connect with and take better care of their Self. Past Chair of BACP Coaching, I run Feel Better Every Day with Eve Menezes Cunningham (aka selfcarecoaching.net).

I started The Feel Better Every Day Podcast because I realised that even with the focus of my work being self and Self care (for 20 years now!), I often struggle. And so do so many of my colleagues. We're all human! So I interviewed several of them including neuroscientists, authors writing about health and wellbeing, fitness professionals, therapists, coaches, energy workers and medical professionals.

We ALL have gaps and even gulfs between what we would LOVE to be doing for ourselves each day and what we actually do. My hope with each episode is that you'll go easier on yourself and do something rather than nothing from your own ideal self or Self care repertoire. Create a life you don't need to retreat from! Let me know how you get on! I really love hearing from y'all.

WANT TO WORK WITH ME?

When it comes to your own self and Self care do you recognise whatever it is you need AND know that you deserve it? This can be a bit of an advanced practice sometimes!

Who helps you co-regulate?

Are you getting to know yourself and your energy - especially as it changes with perimenopause and menopause (for people going through it)?

Do you ever give into 'revenge bedtime procrastination'? (See Episode 2 with Rebecca Seal for more on this too.)

Gill Fennings MBE is a BACP (Accredited) psychotherapist, coach and supervisor. She has spent the last 24 years of her life developing, evolving and researching the fine line between therapy and coaching.

Through this unfolding evolution and reflective practice, she has developed an integrative blend of coaching, psychotherapy and consultancy, designed always to fit the needs of her clients.

In her private practice in St Albans, Hertfordshire, UK, Gill offers 3 main specialisms:

· EMDR intensive coach-therapy for couples and individuals

· supervision for therapists and coaches and

· executive and couple coaching

Available face-to-face or online.

Gill especially enjoys working for equality for women and other minorities in the workplace, as well as working with CEOs and senior teams to review direction, values and business efficiency.

She is passionate advocate and lobbyist for the safe and effective integration of therapy and coaching, following extensive research resulting in an MA (Distinction), in 2009 at the University of East London. Gill has lectured on both Coaching and Psychotherapy courses, at both Further and Higher Educational levels in London.

From 2000 to 2011, she was the creator and director of an award winning coaching service for women in East London with a team of 21 coaches. She received an MBE from Her Majesty the Queen for this work in 2010.

She served on the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Coaching Executive from the creation of ‘BACP Coaching’ in 2010.

For 11 years she worked within BACP towards creating a professional pathway that could support the work of therapeutic coaches. During her year tenure as Chair, she lobbied for coaching to be included in the Ethical Framework (2016) and affirmed the vital development of coaching competencies to enable safe delivery of the integration of these two powerful modalities.

Gill is delighted that the BACP Coaching Competency Framework has come to fruition and uses it as a benchmark for all areas of her practice.

In 2020, she was invited by ICF to attend an extensive global consultation and working group responsible for the creation of their current revised core coaching competencies. It was a privilege to partner with representatives from all over the world in this process and an honour as a therapeutic coach to bring that perspective to a mainstream coaching organisation.
