With a history of conflict with large powers such as China and the United States, Vietnam now pursues a carefully calibrated foreign policy of multi-alignment and hedging to balance its strategic interests. The Southeast Asian nation has been working towards greater economic integration into global markets, yet it's also using active diplomacy, seeking an expanded network of partners, to offset China's military and economic might. So, how well is Vietnam's approach working to safeguard or assert its own interests? And with greater participation in the global economy, how much agency does Vietnam really have to determine its own future? Southeast Asia foreign policy expert Dr Huong Le Thu scrutinises Vietnam's foreign policy with presenter Ali Moore. An Asia Institute podcast. Produced and edited by profactual.com.

With the housing sector on the brink, high youth unemployment and slower than desired GDP growth, 2023 is shaping up to be an annus horribilis for China's economy. Since many of its current economic woes are due to the lingering effects of its zero-COVID policy, it should come as no surprise that Western media are portraying this state of affairs as the consequence of overreach by Xi Jinping and the authoritarian Chinese Communist Party. However, the reality of the complex relationship between the CCP, commercial enterprise, and China's economic performance is far more nuanced. Asia political scientist Dr. Pradeep Taneja and China law specialist Associate Professor Colin Hawes join host Ali Moore in examining how the Party's internal dynamics and sometimes arbitrary decision-making both help and hinder China's vast business sector.

Cambodia has for decades been aligning itself ever closer to China, with substantial economic and political consequences for the Southeast Asian nation – and with geopolitical implications for its neighborhood and beyond. China's economic influence in Cambodia has been huge, with large-scale Chinese investments and infrastructure projects fueling growth and development. Meanwhile, Cambodia's neighbors, Vietnam and Thailand, who also continue to benefit economically from ties to China, maintain a more cautious stance towards the northern giant. So why does Cambodian leader Hun Sen insist on aligning so closely with Beijing? Who are the real beneficiaries from this apparent fealty? And how does this affect ASEAN, especially member states directly impacted by China's vast territorial claims in the South China Sea? Southeast Asia historian Dr Matthew Galway joins host Ali Moore to examine how Cambodia's tight bond with China affects the region and beyond. An Asia Institute podcast.

India faces a daunting task in providing adequate healthcare for its 1.4 billion people. While it can boast world-class hospitals and skilled medical staff, there remain stark disparities in healthcare access and quality, particularly in rural areas. Meanwhile, as India's public healthcare system is criticized as antiquated and inefficient, the rapid growth of private providers has left millions unable to afford care and millions more financially ruined by medical bills. So, how are India's national and state governments working to make quality healthcare affordable for the masses a reality? And how do they juggle the mix of private and public providers to ensure access across all strata of society? Healthcare policy expert Assoc Prof Azad Bali and economist Prof Raghbendra Jha join host Ali Moore to examine India's complex healthcare landscape. An Asia Institute podcast.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's victory in Türkiye's 2023 presidential election extends his two-decade reign by another 5 years yet raises important questions about the country's domestic politics. Despite his handling of a struggling economy and the aftermath of a catastrophic earthquake, Erdoğan prevailed in a runoff election that highlighted deep political polarization. So what does Erdoğan's staying power say about the state of democracy in Türkiye, where an entire generation has never known another national leader? And should we expect Erdoğan to continue with his populist authoritarian practices that critics say have led to a hollowing out of state institutions and entrenched illiberalism? Türkiye watchers Dr David Tittensor and Dr Tezcan Gümüşz discuss what's in store for Türkiye's 85 million people as Erdoğan begins his third decade in power. Presented by Ali Moore.

As Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr begins his second year as president of the Philippines, how is his administration impacting the lives of ordinary Filipinos? The controversial term of Marcos' immediate predecessor Rodrigo Duterte was marked by a brutal war on drugs that led to widespread extrajudicial killings as well as attacks on activists, media and dissenting judicial figures. So how is the younger President Marcos, the son of a dictator, putting his own stamp on the country's leadership and political landscape? And how much is the enviable economic growth of the Philippines in recent years masking a decline in the health of democracy? Seasoned Philippines watchers Dr Adele Webb and David Lozada join host Ali Moore to scrutinise the Philippines' first year under Bongbong Marcos. An Asia Institute podcast.

In May 2019, Taiwan broke barriers by legalizing same-sex marriage, becoming the first in Asia to do so. While the enormous efforts of activists — coupled with the progressive mindset of Taiwanese youth — were instrumental in achieving this milestone, what is it about Taiwan that has made it the regional forerunner when it comes to the rights of sexual minorities? What lessons can other societies in Asia learn from Taiwan's experience? And how are greater contentions around national identity in Taiwan colouring the movement in its fight against remaining discrimination? Taiwan LGBTQ+ researchers and advocates, Dr Wen Liu and Adam Chen-Dedman, examine the issues and intersections with presenter Ali Moore. An Asia Institute podcast.

While China asserts its right to some 90% of the South China Sea, its claims variously overlap and conflict with those of Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and the Philippines -- themselves no strangers to past maritime disputes. In fact, countries across the Indo-Pacific have had to find ways of resolving or at least learning to live with disputed maritime borders. So how have nations chosen to handle maritime border disagreements? What's worked and how much power do international maritime treaties really have? And what lessons are there for the seemingly intractable situation in the South China Sea, where tensions over China's claims pose a real threat to peace and security? Maritime security expert Assoc Prof Bec Strating joins host Ali Moore to examine maritime disputes in the Indo-Pacific. An Asia Institute podcast. Produced and edited by profactual.com.

Since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, the harboring of extremist or terrorist groups, continued high numbers of displaced Afghans, and ramped up production of opium for export are key concerns for neighboring nations. Iran, Pakistan, China, India and other countries each have their own interests to protect and opportunities to exploit just across the border. So how great a threat to regional security is Afghanistan under the Taliban? How are relations across borders being reset to accommodate or even capitalize on the power shift in Kabul? And how is the Afghan government navigating its own path in the region in an attempt to secure its own interests? South Asia political scientist Dr Zahid Ahmed joins host Ali Moore in examining how Afghanistan under Taliban rule affects the region. An Asia Institute podcast.

In Malaysia, the 3 “R”s — race, religion, and royalty — are considered politically sensitive topics, and despite constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech, the state has passed laws that restrict their discussion, both online and off. While these curbs have the potential to stifle critical discussion and maintain existing power structures, they've had little effect on subduing ultra-nationalist voices, resulting in an increase in hate speech and online harassment. What's behind the taboos on the 3 Rs? How are the laws applied? And what is the effect on the health of Malaysian democracy and society? Southeast Asia political scientist Dr James Gomez and Malaysia-based social commentator Dina Zaman explore the nuances of Malaysian political discourse with presenter Ali Moore.

There's no question that Australia is tightly bound to Asia. Indonesia is a close neighbor, China is its most important trading partner, and India and Japan are its strategic partners. While prioritizing Asia-focused education would thus seem essential for Australia, recent trends indicate a decline in Asian language and studies programs in Australian universities, risking leaving the country ill-prepared to navigate its future in the region. What are the causes of this flagging interest in studying Asia, and how can it be rekindled? Indonesia law expert Professor Melissa Crouch and Indonesia political scientist Professor Edward Aspinall shed light on the state of Asian studies and its importance to Australia. Presented by Ali Moore.An Asia Institute podcast.Produced and edited by profactual.com.Music by audionautix.com.

China's government has made significant policy shifts in recent months, including lifting the zero-covid policy, loosening credit regulations for real estate development, and a less strident tone in international relations. These changes suggest a sense of reversal or climbdown, despite the absence of official admissions of any policy failing. Is all this recalibration just part of a push to juice a flagging economy? Has recent overt public discontent over a number of issues had an impact on the thinking of the authoritarian state? And what, if any, is the reputational and political cost to Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party? Dr Chris Buckley, chief China correspondent for The New York Times, examines China's lively policy dynamics with presenter Ali Moore. An Asia Institute podcast.

In Taiwan, the victory in Taipei's 2022 mayoral election of Chiang Wan-an, the Kuomintang (KMT) candidate and purported great grandson of former strongman Chiang Kai Shek, has sparked debate about the future of the island's relationship with China. While the KMT has adopted a more conciliatory stance towards the Chinese Communist Party, its one-time arch adversary, Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) advocates for a separate Taiwanese identity. If the election outcome points to a strengthening KMT eventually winning national government and taking a softer line towards Beijing, would it really improve cross-straits relations? Is simply maintaining the One China policy indefinitely a viable long-term strategy? What is the best outcome that the Taiwanese people can realistically hope for? China historian Dr Craig Smith and Taiwan watcher Dr Lennon Chang join host Ali Moore to examine Taiwan's often fraught relationship with the People's Republic of China.Note: Since this interview was recorded on 17 January, Lennon has accepted an associate professorship at Deakin University.An Asia Institute podcast.Produced and edited by ProfactualMusic by audionautix.com.

The Yangtze, Asia's longest river, flows through China's wealthiest region, the lower delta, which includes the metropolis of Shanghai. Sadly, the unique traditional cultures and epic folk songs of this region have all but succumbed to the relentless march of modernization and cultural homogenisation. What are the stories behind the region's longform folk songs, and how are they passed down? How do today's people in the region regard this cultural legacy, and what's being done to save the songs of Shanghai's hinterland? Sinologist Prof. Anne McLaren, who has researched the region over decades, joins presenter Ali Moore to explore the lower Yangtze's unique cultural heritage. An Asia Institute podcast.

In 2020, Beijing imposed a national security law on Hong Kong after months of mass protests, resulting in the prosecution and conviction of many activists and journalists. China introduced the law despite their 1997 agreement with the outgoing British colonial administration to allow the territory its own system of governance for 50 years. Nearly three years later, how has this controversial law affected Hong Kong's spirit and aspirations? And can the city keep its edge as Asia's leading financial centre? Hong Kong watchers Assoc Prof Ester Leung and Dr Kevin Carrico examine the impact of the law and Hong Kong's evolving ethos. Presented by Ali Moore. An Asia Institute podcast.

Although Indonesia's presidential elections take place in February 2024, it's already game on for the lineup of presidential hopefuls, and the nation's political machine is already in high gear. So who are the big names throwing their hats into the ring this time around? What will each bring to the table? And what messages will resonate with the diverse electorate?

Muslims in Indonesia are increasingly seeking to align their consumption with their religious beliefs. The push comes from a growing urban middle class who have greater access to global products and services. At the same time, Indonesia's halal product assurance law, which came into effect in 2019, is being phased in across a wide range of goods and services. In a world awash with consumerism, what does halal certification mean for Muslims? And how do these economic choices play into the political landscape? Indonesia watchers Professor Julian Millie and Dr Inaya Rakhmani examine the trajectory of Indonesia's halal consumerism with presenter Ali Moore.An Asia Institute podcast.Produced and edited by Profactual.Music by audionautix.com.

In August 2021, the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan after a 20-year hiatus and promptly replaced the nation's legal system with their own austere version of Islamic law or Sharia. While the impact of the new government on women and girls has been well documented outside the country, the Taliban's interpretation of Sharia is making itself felt across Afghan society as the country is in the grip of possibly its worst ever humanitarian crisis. What is the theological basis of the Taliban's version of Sharia? What's the Taliban vision for Afghanistan? And how will it turn that vision into reality? Researchers of Islamic law in South Asia Associate Professor Matthew Nelson and Haroun Rahimi join presenter Ali Moore to examine the Taliban's rule in Afghanistan. An Asia Institute podcast.

Sri Lanka recently found itself caught in a diplomatic tussle between China and India over the planned visit of Chinese naval vessel the Yuan Wang 5, to the port of Hambantota. India opposed the visit because it considers the vessel a spy ship, while China maintains that it's just a research vessel. And that saga is but one example of how Sri Lanka must walk the line between Asia's two largest powers. How can Sri Lanka maintain a sense of balance in its bilateral relationships with the two Asian giants? And will there come a time when Colombo will have to choose a side? Geopolitical analysts Dr Pradeep Taneja and Dr Chulanee Attanayake join presenter Ali Moore to examine the state of India-China power dynamics and what this means for Sri Lanka.An Asia Institute podcast.Produced and edited by Profactual.Music by audionautix.com.

China's meteoric economic rise over the last 40+ years has been accompanied by hundreds of millions of people leaving the countryside to seek opportunities in the nation's metropolises.

Malaysia has witnessed a succession of prime ministers and political alliances over the past four years in what some observers say is the most serious era of political instability since independence in 1957. Meanwhile, Malaysia's grand old party, UMNO, dealt an unprecedented defeat in 2018 following a global corruption scandal and mass protests, is now back in power – dashing the expectations of religious and ethnic minorities. What will it take for the political turmoil to end in Malaysia, once a catchword for successful multi-ethnic economic development?

India has now on four occasions abstained from voting in the United Nations to censure Russia over its invasion of Ukraine. New Delhi's muted response to Moscow's military offensive may seem mystifying given India's own experience of armed incursions by China, as well as its membership in the US-led Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (“the Quad”). So what binds India and Russia? How does India reckon with a world order largely created by western powers? And for how much longer can India sit on the US-Russia fence?

Having built a Shariah-compliant global finance industry now worth US$3 trillion, Islamic legal experts are now grappling with the question of whether cryptocurrencies are permissible for the world's 1.8 billion Muslims. Just how are religious laws from the 7th century adapted to meet the present-day needs and economic aspirations of believers? How do Islamic jurists decide what is halal, and what happens when there's disagreement? And how will cryptocurrencies and other emerging technologies fit into the future of Islamic finance?

For Japan, China is both its largest trading partner and its greatest strategic threat. And while Tokyo has garnered admiration for how it walks the line between its ally Washington and Beijing, it's now set to draw up a new defence strategy with China likely top of mind.

China's Communist Party is known to prize loyalty and conformity among its more than 90 million members. If good policies are forged through deliberation and debate, how does the CCP handle the weighing of opinions, counter-proposals and objections while ensuring ideological purity? And how does a party member of good will conscientiously object?

As Australia's relationship with China continues to sour, it should come as no surprise that Canberra is bolstering security ties with New Delhi. Additionally, the two governments are working hard to forge a comprehensive trade agreement. But is a mutual suspicion of Beijing a sound basis for closer ties? What are the real issues that bind -- and separate -- India and Australia? And who will be the winners and losers of any bilateral free-trade deal? Australia-India Institute CEO the Hon.

As US president, Donald Trump rewrote the rule book for dealing with China, breaking norms enshrined in bilateral relations since the days of Richard Nixon. Yet even Trump's harshest critics have since warmed to his assertive, unconventional approach to Beijing, and there's now recognition that there is no return to the China policy of old. But was this radical reshaping really down to Trump, or was it somehow inevitable given China's inexorable rise as an economic and military power?

Despite being well into his final term as Indonesia's president, Joko Widodo continues his coalition building, and retains the backing of political and business elites. And, while critics point to poor pandemic management and eroding democracy under his watch, Jokowi remains very popular with ordinary Indonesians.

In Japan, the norms of human connection and physical intimacy are evolving, with arranged marriages on the wane, and defacto relationships and same-sex unions no longer rare.

India's caste system remains alive and thriving, both in India and in its global diaspora. Seven decades after the passing of laws to fight discrimination, caste continues to dictate who Indians can marry, their prospects for education and jobs, and even where they may live.

Bron chats with Ali Moore (psychotherapist) about acceptance, resilience, and living with your disease. Recognising your feelings and being kind to yourself, acknowledging that there are always dark days alongside the brighter days are important steps to coping with the unpredictability of MS. “Acceptance can feel quite passive … but it's really powerful. Once you get to that point where you say, ‘I'm accountable' and ‘I'm responsible'”   TRANSCRIPT This is the MS show podcast, people with multiple sclerosis and their families who want information and inspiration. I'm Bron Webster. I've been living with Ms for over 20 years. I'll be sharing with you tips stories from ways to keep going through them and Hello, and today I'm really, really excited to be with my good friend Ali Moore and Ali is a behavioral therapist, a coach and author and she specializes in the science of self esteem and relationships. She's also a celebrant. So welcome, Allie. It's great to have you today. Thank you. Good to be here. So can you tell us a little bit just about your background First of all, and how you got into what it is that you're doing? Sure. So I like many people have Corporate background originally, and I started off many years ago in the world of HR, but I was always fascinated by people. And so I quickly moved into leadership development and training. And through that I qualified to be a coach. And when I was doing coaching, I absolutely loved it. And I was I was blessed to work for what was at the time quite small company. And you may have heard a bit called Amazon. And I joined them just as they came into the UK. So I was really blessed to have my career, grow with them, and be able to explore this interest in training, development and people. So qualifying as a coach was amazing. But I then went through some life experiences myself and I went through psychotherapy, and it made me realize that there was there was an added extra that I wanted to do. I wanted to be able to give people the support That the therapy process had had really given me. And it really enabled me to work through some of those experiences that I had been through myself. So I went on to train as a therapist, and through that I just really kept my love of people and their stories and what makes people tick. And that's kind of where my love of looking at relationships and self esteem came from. I just believe that if we nurture our self esteem, and we understand where that comes from, it just really underpins everything about the lives that we need and the relationships that that we have. So I've been really blessed to be able to set up my private practice. And I've been in private practice now for four and a half years and do a whole mixture do one to ones or do membership. Yeah, it's it's really varied and that's an absolute necessity. Smee great stuff. And obviously you're here and we're doing a podcast for the MS show. Now, you yourself don't live with Ms. But you know me, you see how I sort of experience Ms. And over your times have you encountered any health battles and challenges? For me personally? Um, um, yes. So I am, it isn't on the scale of of, of Ms. As you say I don't have MS myself, I encounter things in two ways. Firstly, I work with quite a few clients who've got long term health conditions, but personally, I have a condition called TMJ which is a nerve problem that kind of starts off around the jaw area but actually can be triggered once you have it by stress and you No and I had days when I really have to manage that it causes quite intense migraine headaches, pain and pain right down my left side. And this was originally caused by some surgery that I had a few years ago. And following that surgery, I spent six months with a walkingstick, which was really unexpected. And that was nothing to do with the actual surgery, but from the process that I went through. So whilst I don't have that experience of a condition like Ms, as I say, I see that with my clients, and I do have a condition that I've really had to kind of take note of and understand that I have my limitations. Brilliant. Yeah, not brilliant. It's not. It's not a great thing. But what it means is that you absolutely get the challenges that all of the listeners to this podcast, my 10 counter, you've been through that process of coming terms with having an unpredictable condition that just wipes you out. And I just thought right at the top of the conversation, I just think that is a really useful thing to put into context that not only do you help people with all this wonderful therapy that you offer, and all the work that you do about the reconnection movement that I know you're heavily involved in, but you have also personally got experience. So thanks for sharing that with us before we get into things. And so I know that you have been to the Tower of London and that you have had a really big stage talking about self esteem. Yes. So what sort of what sort of things have you been involved in on your self in self esteem in your relationships? Wow. Yes. So I was asked a couple of ago to be the lead speaker for historical palaces at the Tower of London. And they were celebrating 100 years of boats for women. And I work predominantly with women on their self esteem. So it was a real honor to go along and do the presentation and talk to the audience that was coming to the Tower of London about the concept of self esteem. I've also done various talks at different conferences. I have run my own empowerment days, where we talk to women about what that means to feel empowered, and also hosting a sort of day retreat that I run called find your role which is all about inviting women to come along and understand what it means to have a nurture that self esteem. So I've had loads of opportunities, as well as being a published author, which was a which was lovely thing to happen. And my book was published Just over 18 months ago, and what's the name of the book Ali? it's called reconnect your life. And it's, um, it's a mixture of client stories. It's a mixture of Theory and Applications and mindful living. And it's also a 30 day journaling process to help you to also get reconnected to who you are and help sort of lift that feeling of self esteem within. Okay, and then I've got a copy of that book. I haven't done the 30 day journaling. I will I'm a man. But, but there are some really, really important and useful sections in there that I've read. And something that I'm really keen on in terms of living with multiple sclerosis is the whole process that I've been through of grieving, and I happen to find myself Again, and reach that point of accepting my condition. And it's really difficult I find, to put acceptance to explain what it is and how it feels. And I just wonder, because I know you've got a whole section in your book about acceptance. I know with Ms. accepting that we've got ms or we've got a disability. It's not easy. And I just wondered if you could share your wisdom. I will, I will try. So the concept of acceptance has been huge for me in terms of understanding my own journey of personal development and dealing with the things that I've experienced. And also watching how my clients go through that process. And it forms one of the key tenants, I just feel that acceptance as as a concept is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle that people go through. So I can remember when I was first kind of bringing the concept of mindful living, which is a big part of how I work with clients into my practice alongside the traditional therapy, and talking therapy, and feeling like acceptance at the time, to me sounded a bit passive, it sounded as though we just kind of were expected to put up with something. And it was just how it was. And that felt to me a bit like you were being asked to give in, you know, and give up wrong and, you know, we talked about moving forward, don't wait, you know, and, and it was only when I started this and in the research that I've also done in terms of how people come to terms with relationships, and thing with their own sense of self discovery that acceptance is actually really powerful. So acceptance is all about understanding that what has happened has happened and it can't unhappen. But that because you've made that choice to say, this is where I am. And you've also started to take on board that you are accountable and responsible for yourself, as opposed to blaming everyone else or blaming the world, you know, carrying Angus through with you that once you get to that point that says, actually, I'm accountable, and I'm responsible, and this is where I am and this is what's happened. Suddenly, I saw clients starting to see possibilities. And it happens quite quietly. I've done talks on this where I've said, you know, I've never yet had a client walk into a The therapy room and go, Oh, my goodness, Sally, I've got it, you know, it's all become clear. And the process of acceptance has happened over a period of time. And it's just little things in the language where initially, there might be blame for something else. They might be blaming the situation, other people, the world. And all and they don't see that they've got any options. They don't see that they've got choice, or they don't feel like they're worthy, or they don't feel like they've got that ability. And then suddenly, they start to use phrases like, well, maybe. Well, maybe I could have a go. Well, you Yeah, that might be a good point. Well, I could look at it differently. Well, what if and I think when you see people moving into that space, you kind of realize that they're starting on that journey of acceptance, they're starting to see that they can choose now how they live with whatever it is going forward. Are you choosing how to live life going forward, did you know that I run a private Facebook group of people with multiple sclerosis and their families, it's called multiple sclerosis and UK help multiple success community. It's the perfect place to hang out and get more SMS inspiration and motivation. All you need to do is look in Facebook, multiple sclerosis and UK help multiple success communities. I'll see you back. Absolutely. And I think some of the people that I talk with whether it be online conversations, I really say to them Ultimately you are in a system where you are going to have a neurologist, and you're going to have an MS nurse, and you're going to have a group of people around you. But this is your disease, and this is your body. And actually, you don't need to wait for those people to come to you with any of the answers or any of the next steps. Try and it comes back to what you were just saying about not. It's not so much blaming other people, although I'm sure there's a lot of kinds of feelings of blame that go on. But I say to people, don't wait for these other people. They're not responsible for action, and they're not responsible for whatever's going to happen. So try and take a little bit of ownership and see what you can do for yourself. Yes. And so is that partway along the acceptance path when you start taking that responsibility, definitely because people can become quite passive and they can put themselves right in the hands of everyone else. And they can leave it up to other people to make their decisions for them, because perhaps they feel they don't have the knowledge themselves. They're not the expert, and it can feel as though things are being done to us. But as humans, we like to be in control. You know, I have never met a client as yet, who would completely like to hand over the reins to somebody else, there is always an element of wanting to be in control. And when you realize that, no, you may not be the expert in this particular disease, you know, from a medical perspective, but you are the expert in terms of how you feel and your body and you realize that actually, you can be the person who guides the people around and they stop being people who are doing things to you. And they start being people who are there to support you in the decisions you want to make. That that is, yeah, that is a huge part of seeing that people are moving into that sign of acceptance. And I think what you've just said about seeing them and working with them in a different way. Yeah, that is a really positive thing for people to take away. Because I do hear people say, you know, things ground to a halt or I wasn't being given all the information. And it's about creating a bit of a team spirit with your professionals, and keeping your own interests and your desires in mind. Yes, yeah. And also what happens With multiple sclerosis for many people, not everybody, you go through life you have a diagnosis and your diagnosis is this is one of my personal hobbyhorses. But your diagnosis is one where you are faced with a progressive neurological condition. Yeah. which in itself is a massive. They're really big words to hear. And dealing with that is huge. But the way that the disease progresses is different for everybody, but people will tend to think, oh, I've just got messed up, right. Okay, I know what's going on. And I know how to expect everything that's happening in my life and I know that my left sides really weak. So they make adjustments for that. But Ms being what it is. It just then for whatever reason, decides It's going to throw another curveball at you and hit you with another set of symptoms that you've never ever encountered. And so I've sort of come to the realization that with MS, we end up going through this process of grieving, not just at the point of diagnosis, but on an ongoing basis as things happen time and time again. Yeah. And I just wanted to sort of, I guess, kick that around a little bit with you to see how that fits into the whole landscape of our belief in ourselves and our connection with ourselves, etc. So, I think that I think that's a huge thing. And I know you and I have chatted about this before because we use this analogy of grief don't mean and I think there is a grieving for the person that you felt that you were before. The diagnosis or for many of my clients before the incident happened, you know, there was that me before. And then whatever it is happens. But in certain situations, the situation is now as it is and it doesn't change. So we hear this phrase used a lot, the new normal. And you can be in a situation where something awful has happened and you're grieving for that and you're grieving for the person you were. But you are now in a pretty stable landscape all by it, not one that you wanted to be in. But you are able to kind of come to terms and think what is this new normal, but with something like Ms. As you say that it's like you're standing on shifting sands, isn't it because you're always moving. And so that grief cycle that we talked about, in general terms of denial and anger, And acceptance, you know is included within that grief cycle is is not linear anyway, for most people, but certainly, this is something where you're constantly having to readjust who you are and you're constantly potentially feeling an impact on your sense of identity, your sense of self and I talk about self esteem as being a platform, you know, and it's held up by pillars like self worth, self confidence, how much you value yourself, your social identity, how other people see you. And when those are all lovely and solid and cemented into the ground, you have this wonderful platform on which to be the person that you that you want to be. But when they get knocked and chopped, and they become wobbly, we start to lose confidence in ourselves and we start to doubt yourself. And there is this complexity when you are faced with something thing which is forever changing, which suddenly comes out of the blue and knocks you for six again, about how do you ever find that stable footing? How do you ever find the identity of the person that you are now? Because it's it's constantly changing? And it's Yeah, it's it's a real challenge and and quite different, I think to people who have gone through an incident awful as it was, but are now faced with adjusting to life afterwards. So I think it's an extra, it makes it extra difficult, and I think anybody that lives with this sort of condition. I think it's just another reason that you can say to yourself, this is how bloody strong I am. Actually, yes, I'm doing this. And I'm dealing with this. And if you hit those new experiences, and those new Hard times, you know, from your past experience, I guess that you can get through this. Yes. It might be difficult. Yeah. What were you going to say? I think that's really important is to keep track of your achievements. And that might sound corny, but to keep track of those achievements so that when something new occurs, you do have that to fall back on. You can look back and say, Well, look, this happened. And I and I got through it this way. And then that happened. And I got through it this way, and start to build up that bank of tools that will allow you to think about how you're going to apply those tools. Almost I guess it acceptance comes into play again here. It's almost like the acceptance that something else is most likely going to happen. Right? Yeah. But if I'm okay in accepting that, then in a way I can prepare myself, so it's not constantly coming out of the blue. Yeah. And I think that's probably what I've reached. So hard as that new. I had a new symptom hit me that I'd never had. Yeah. And so it hit me and I went through the whole couple of days of, wow, what is this? How am I going to cope with this? But then, because I've lived with it for as long as I have, I've already built up the words that I used to talk to myself to say, but this is this is something that you know, can happen. Yeah. And that you are going to get through it. Yeah. So I think at the outset of the diagnosis, it might feel really difficult. Yeah, every time something comes, but as time progresses, you can build up that resilience Definitely, yeah, I think resilience is a really important element for people to bring into their lives when they've got Ms. Absolutely. And and we know now that resilience is something that, you know, not everybody has in bucket loads, you know, that due to lots of issues and challenges they may face, but it is something that you can grow. It is something that you can learn. So the fact that you haven't felt so resilient, perhaps previously, does not mean that you don't have the capacity to build that resilience. And I think that's a really important message that I talk with my clients a lot based on lots of situations, you know, you may, you've may have felt in the past that you didn't have that toolkit, but that doesn't mean that you don't have the ability to have it now. And for people that are thinking my resilience Actually, I'm All Out of response, I'm all out of their ability to be able to deal with this and they just want to shut themselves away. Do you? And do you come across people in your in your business in your sort of client list? Who are at that stage? And what would you say to them? And what advice would you give them as part of your conversations that you're having with them? Yeah, of course. The first thing is with the type of therapy that I practice, we're not looking to create a perfect life. We are looking to understand that to live well. There are dark times and there are happy times, there's lightness, dark, there's joy and there's sadness and understanding that you will have days when you feel like that and you're entitled to them. And there's nothing wrong in feeling like you want to shut yourself away and being able to say to yourself, okay, if I feel that way, and I want to do that Starting to ask yourself, what is it I need from this time? What is it that I want to reflect on? What is it that my brain My body is saying to me at this time? Is it that actually you you need rest? And you just need some space away from people? Is it that there's something that you need to work through? And, and it's about having that ability to question yourself as to why you're doing it. It is not about saying, I need to get over this as quickly as possible. And I should always be trying to look on the positive side, you know, that isn't how resilience works. Resilience is about being able to lean into those tough times and say, What am I going to gain? So I'm going to shut myself away, and I'm going to withdraw because I've just about had enough. What would I gain from doing that? What change will that make for me? And these are the kinds of questions that when you start getting into them having that conversation, you tend to find that you come up with something that allows you to take another step outside that door. And that might sound a little bit airy fairy, but this is not a there is not. As you know that there is not an exact science to this, you know, there is not a solution where I say, Oh, you feel that way. So do this, and then you'll feel better. And then you can just carry on, it is about just being able to recognize that it's about acknowledging that it's okay to be like that and to feel like that and we don't have to carry on regardless, and we can feel sorry for ourselves. And a lot of clients are surprised when I say that to them because we've we've had this movement of positive psychology, and it's got a bit misinterpreted and everyone thinks that they've got to be thinking positive all the time. And that isn't how it works, you know? So questioning yourself questioning why it's happening question What it's going to bring you and thinking about what you might do next, and being kind and compassionate to yourself. And accepting that these days will happen is a really good place to start in terms of coming out the other side. That's really, really good in terms of ideas. And I only wish that back in the day when I was stuck in my place that I was stuck in that I had known somebody like you. And that way we could have talked about such things. But I think they are really really useful tips. And that to know that actually, this is quite normal. And then on the other side, there are going to be a lot of people that were just getting on with life with Ms. And are celebrating and they are out there and they are running marathons or doing amazing things and that we really don't know Have to measure ourselves against anybody else? Absolutely not. I mean, we don't want to be comparing ourselves regardless, you know, that compare tinnitus is the thief of joy is one of my favorite sayings. And we all find ourselves at some point comparing ourselves to somebody else. I have regularly with clients to use, use an analogy that you and I spoke about. I don't even know if you remember talking to me about this, but you spoke to me about the fact that you can, you can live against your illness constantly trying to prove yourself constantly trying to prove that it's not going to affect you, and it's not going to impact you. And actually all that does is create more problems or you can live with your disease. And you can go into that place of acceptance, understand your limitations, but that's it then it doesn't have to define you if you feel like running away. marathon, run a marathon. But if you're like me, and you can barely run to the shops, and that is without ms, then that's okay as well, right? We are all at different places in our lives and in our journeys, and we live with what we have with us as a person rather than constantly feeling like, I got to do better. You know, we there's a lot of that going on in the world. And for a lot of people, and we need to stop trying to do all of this being your best you and all of that just be you just as well. And be you. Yeah. Yeah. You're good enough as you are. Absolutely. Yeah. No, I like that. I think we could chat for hours and hours and hours, about all sorts of things. But I think in terms of this episode, and really unpacking accepts Some resilience I think has been fantastic. And I really hope that is going to be of use to people and that people take some inspiration and some action. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So Ali, when I get to the end of when I'm talking to people for the podcast, I always ask a totally unrelated question that gives us a little bit of an insight into you when your personality can that is thinking about you can be anywhere in the world. So COVID lockdown is no longer. Okay, be anywhere in the world. Yeah. And you're going to be drinking your favorites drink. It can be alcoholic, non alcoholic, whatever it might be. Oh, and we'd really like to know where you would be. Gosh, I would be for anywhere in the world. Actually, my favorite spot on planet Earth is the chalice well gardens in Glastonbury. And I would be sitting there in the sun in the meadow, I would be drinking my favorite tipple, which is, as most people know, a lovely glass of Prosecco, which I'd have in my lovely stylish hip flask that I carry with me, and plus properly my Nan's flask with some tea in it as well. And looking up the hill at the tool that sits on the hill in Glastonbury. Yeah, I think that's, I think if I could choose anywhere, that's where I would be and that's what I'd be drinking. Mm hmm. And would it be daytime? Would it be sunset time? Would it be warm weather? Oh, it'd be warm weather. Gotta be more than weather. Yeah, I'm not good in the cold. And, and it would be probably just after midday, actually, just after the one minute meditation silence that they hold there. And yeah, when it's and it's just got a really peaceful feel. And yeah, that that's where I would be lovely. That is great. Thank you so much for joining us today, Ali. You're welcome. It's been great to chat with you.
