25.01.2022 Barrett’s point is that if you understand that fear is a cultural concept, a way of overlaying meaning on to high arousal and high unpleasantness, then it’s possible to experience it differently. You know, when you have high arousal before a test, and your brain makes sense of it as test anxiety, that’s a really different feeling than when your brain makes sense of it as energised determination, she says. So my daughter, for example, was testing for her black belt in karate. Her sensei was a 10th degree black belt, so this guy is like a big, powerful, scary guy. She’s having really high arousal, but he doesn’t say to her, ‘Calm down’; he says, ‘Get your butterflies flying in formation.’ That changed her experience. Her brain could have made anxiety, but it didn’t, it made determination.

21.01.2022 My teacher John Julian and colleague Mike Pringle discuss the Mindful Self Compassion program :-)

21.01.2022 Our thoughts are just language in the mind. Some of the stories our minds tell us are useful. Some stories our mind tells us can be mean and not very helpful. Tune into the ones that lead you towards what you value in life. Like being a shark !

21.01.2022 Apologies I can’t do a live meditation this evening ! Here is an earlier one on gratitude and how profoundly this practice can benefit wellbeing - an equivalent effect in happiness as winning the lottery

15.01.2022 I can’t believe this was 7 years ago ! A podcast I was on talking all about food intolerances and the low FODMAP diet http://theprimalshift.com.au/tps-10-allergies-food-intole/

14.01.2022 We are unique in having the ability to transcend the present and project towards the future where our possibilities, and the certainty of death, reside - Emmy Van Deurzen. The infinity symbol sums up the paradox of time and our experience of being in the world. The twist point in the middle represents the here-and-now, the present moment, the only time that is. On either side the loops of our history and our predictions of the future. Constantly reinterpreted and never stat...ic, each time we remember or project a new idea of being emerges. Nothing stays the same. Our awareness of time opens up possibilities and at the same time limits us with it’s inevitable passing. The paradox of this creates a dynamic tension that can provide meaning and vitality in our lives, or lead us to despair. #existentialtherapy #existentialtherapist #counselling #mindfulness #awareness #paradox #choice See more

13.01.2022 Our minds are geared for survival. Ergo we tend to focus on the negative. An important advantage in the risky savanna. Perhaps not so good now. By and large humans are good. Empathy and Compassion and the desire to connect are stronger in humans than any other animal. I truly believe if we try and develop and foster these talents we can solve many of the worlds woes*

13.01.2022 A year ago I was in Bhutan and visited the traditional medicine hospital. What an amazing country. Amazing how much our lives can change in a year too !

10.01.2022 The link between diet and mental illness has been getting clearer with more and more research. This neat graphic illustrates the pathways through which this may occur. Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-020-00925-x

07.01.2022 Love this. Healing takes courage

06.01.2022 Sorry I cant do a live meditation tonight. Ill share one of my favourite guided meditations from YouTube. This one is great for getting in touch with the observing sense of self, the part of our selves that is aware of/notices the thinking sense of self. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5oIEKjMdmA&t=1220s

04.01.2022 Some people buy online clothes in lockdown, some nerds like me buy textbooks and get wayyyy too excited by them! Meaning is such a critical aspect of everything clients come to therapy for. Making sense of all the points of data in our life experience, and connecting those dots in a way that is meaningful to an individual helps them to find purpose and direction. This text is a fantastic, evidence based exploration of the different ways people find meaning in their lives and I cannot wait to get stuck into reading it ! #counsellor #therapy #existentialtherapy #existentialism #meaningcentredtherapy #values #purpose #goals

04.01.2022 Feelings carry a message. You’re feelings are valid. How you choose to respond to them is up to you.

01.01.2022 Our minds are very tricky. I love to help clients understand how our minds work, why they can be a bit confusing at times to deal with, and that they aren’t alone in feeling this way !

01.01.2022 Anyone else over ambitious with their veg purchases?
