The Momentum Replay Series replays our top episodes so that you have the chance to catch episodes you missed, and refresh on others. The idea is to support you more regularly as you take charge of 2023 (through whatever challenges may arise). Here's to health, wealth and wisdom on this heartfelt path of yours.

In this episode I interview Holly Yates, MS, LPC, Certified FAP Trainer about Third-wave therapies that utilise acceptance and mindfulness skills to connect with your emotions and move towards the life you want to lead.

Holly is very skilful in FAP, ACT and DBT, and you will find she is able to integrate the wisdom from each of these frameworks to provide you actionable advice relating to your emotions in a way that is effective. I think you will particularly enjoy how you can think of your emotions as ‘data’, and the fight-or-flight response as an ‘overprotective parent’. Holly also an example about how she utilises these skills in her own life – I think you will relate!

What is covered:

>> An introduction to Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP)

>> The challenge of normalisation process in FAP

>> Emotions as data

>> An introduction to Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

>> Ways to get through emotional disregulation and ‘negative’ feelings
