This is my interview with Dr Jonathan Kuttner from the Anxiety Support Summit.

Dr Kuttner specialises in the treatment of chronic joint and muscle pain.

As many know, anxiety can be an EXTREMELY painful journey. It seems pain and anxiety go hand in hand. And not just emotional pain. Physical pain. This often creates a vicious cycle that perpetuates both anxiety and pain.

Dr Kuttner himself experienced chronic pain for years after a near-fatal accident and is a testament to anybody struggling with chronic pain in their life that indeed there is life after pain.

✓ The reptilian brain (and the two protective mechanisms coming from it – one for anxiety, one for pain.)

✓ How they end up going faulty and basically feeding our body with spam

✓ The importance of diaphragmatic breathing

✓ How to better understand and treat your pain

✓ Trigger points: what they are and how best to treat them

Dr Malie Coyne is one of Ireland's leading Clinical Psychologists with over 20 years of experience working with children, teenagers, and their families.

She is also the author of the brand new bestselling book, Love in, Love out: A compassionate approach to parenting your anxious child.

Parenting is an extremely tough topic to tackle. And one that is vitally important.

And while every parent only wants the best for their child, the reality is, parenting doesn't come with an instruction manual.

In this conversation, we discuss Dr Coyne's new book as well the many practical tips she offers parents to not only help their children, but also help themselves, and in doing so, create a happier, less stressful, and compassionate home environment.

An early pioneer of “getting people to talk about mental health in a normal way,” Meredith created the website Beautiful Voyager in 2015 for overthinkers, perfectionists, and people pleasers. 

She edits Invisible Illness, the largest mental health publication on Medium, and is the author of the new book, Get Out of My Head: Inspiration for Overthinkers in an Anxious World.

In this episode, we discuss Meredith's journey with Generalised Anxiety Disorder and how she's managed to take control of it using an array of tools and strategies as well as her equally brilliant and hilarious catchphrases!
