William Pullen's Dynamic Running Therapy can be used in so many ways, and is incredibly accessible through the free app he has developed (DRT), as well as his book/interactive workbook “Running with Mindfulness”. It is a radically simple approach combining elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, relational philosophy and exercise. It is ideal for individuals that want to deepen their running/movement practice to include self-introspection, and those that are dealing with any difficult emotions such as anger, stress, depression or anxiety on a regular basis. There is also a healthy relationship practice, which deals with questions together through "empathy runs", in which a couple/pair practices active listening and deep sharing in organized turns. Pullen developed DRT to "bring the mind into perfect harmony with the body through the healing experience of mindful running". Channeling running energy into personal change in all aspects of our life is made both simple and effective by this insightful step-by-step process, developed through years of therapy and mindfulness practice. In everything we do, he encourages us to just get moving, make small changes and positive results will naturally flow from them. His guidance has helped countless people to do so, and his story is both uplifting and inspiring!

Today's podcast guest, William Pullen, is a London-based psychotherapist, TEDx speaker and author who has developed a unique treatment method called "Dynamic Running Therapy" (DRT). DRT has been described as a "revolutionary method" and as "a radical new approach to mindfulness".According to William, movement combined with talking exploits something deep within our DNA and DRT is based on this concept. DRT helps people work through issues like anxiety, depression, anger management or decision making.Listen to my chat with William to hear the inspiring story of how he left the dizzying world of alcohol, gambling and other destructive pursuits to one of health, wellbeing and inner peace. He achieved this U turn with a combination of running and psychotherapy and then chose to study psychotherapy himself as he was simultaneously so inspired and healed by it. With a background in philosophy and a deep appreciation of the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, William has a unique perspective on the human mind - for any philosophy buffs, William throws in some references to Descartes and the Cartesian Split.William has also written a book about DRT, "Run For Your Life: Mindful Running for a Happy Life" (published in the United States as "Running with Mindfulness") and here is a link to my review of his book where you can purchase it via Amazon: https://amandaswellbeingpodcast.com/run-for-your-life/You can connect with William via any of the following channels:Website: http://dynamicrunningtherapy.co.ukInstagram: d_runningtherapyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dynamicrunningtherapyTwitter: @pullentherapyDRT App: available on Apple App storeTEDx talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq6393AreD4

William is a London-based psychotherapist, author and app developer. He is the founder of Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT), a psychotherapeutic approach which incorporates running. H is book "Running with Mindfulness" published by Penguin, is in 11 countries. The Dynamic Running Therapy appis available on iOS. From his own struggle after a long-term relationship ended, leaving him depressed and withdrawn from life, William learned something. He started running with a friend, and found that these runs helped him work through what he was facing and processing (or not processing). He came to learn why running was so helpful, and created an approach, he calls Dynamic Running Therapy, through that. He shares his story and what he learned with us in this episode of the show. Key Points from the Episode with William Pullen: William is a psychotherapist in London who, about a decade ago, was going through a tough time and turned to therapy himself. At the same time, he started running with a friend, and realized that he was getting such emotional benefit from the running, too. That lead to creating a program that combines the two into his book and methodology, Dynamic Running Therapy. In his situation, he was in a failing relationship too long. He notes how hanging on can drag you down and hurt you further. Then the relationship ends when you’re at your weakest, and it crushes more than if you had acted sooner. He found himself in the throes of depression, and had the presence of mind to recognize that he needed help. We got into why running seems to be so helpful. William had a couple of key reasons. First, running is rhythmic, which has a calming and almost hypnotic effect. Second, because it absorbs so much of your energy, it quiets the distractive power of the mind, making it easier to focus on what matters that you are trying to work through. Dynamic Running Therapy is about running with a set of questions to work through. He tends to start with a 5-10 minute grounding process, which has four steps. First is to take in what’s happening in your body. Then, what’s happening around you (smells, sounds, etc). Third, scan how you’re feeling. Finally, ask yourself what you want from the session. Often we aren’t focused enough when we try to work on things, so this helps bring us to a place of focus. William believes we live in an age of disembodiment. We are focusing our energy in things like social media and work that no longer fits into 9-5 hours. Running helps bring us back. When we run, our body registers us as going from passive to active, which shifts our brain’s processing. This allows us to work on problems differently. William sees this as one of the reasons we go into a run with lots of questions or problems in our head, and miraculously, we seem to have them resolved when we’re done running. I had to ask if treadmills count since the experience is so different from running outdoors. While it may be different, or not as good, something is better than nothing, so treadmills can still work. The key is for making that treadmill experience as open and clear as possible. For example, not having closed in walls around you, or a screen staring you in the face, distracting you. We get stuck in the world through repetition and rigidity. Breaking through this comes from getting moving. The more free we are with that, the better. So William prefers getting outdoors, exposing yourself to something different and interesting (he threw out African drumming, which I’ve used myself to great effect). He posed a great challenge to people. Do you have too muchorder in your life or not enough? Having too much can be as problematic as not enough as it can hold us back. Find balance.

One of the keys to healing from trauma, overcoming anxiety, working through depression, addictions, and virtually any other struggle is figuring out a way to get what's in our heads, out of our heads in a way that feels safe, validating, and in compliance with who we are as individuals. By doing so we begin to chip away at the self-shame that so often comes when battling any mental health challenge.By showing up authentically, to ourselves and the world, even in the wake of extreme events, we gain confidence and resilience. We learn that what happened to us, does not define our future, and the struggles of our past only have the power that we allow them to have. This certainly does not mean that we should try to rush through recovery, or feel as though we should just get over what's happened. Instead, simply understand that, in time, we can learn to live and thrive in our present life, rather than being held back by the very thoughts, feelings, and coping strategies which served us for a time, but are now keeping us stuck.My guest on this episode of the podcast, is someone who has developed a very unique approach to work through those very struggles that no longer serve us. William Pullen, creator of Dynamic Running Therapy, is a practicing therapist in the U.K., working with clients not only utilizing DRT, but also integrative psychotherapy in areas such as : substance abuse, emotional abuse, anxiety, relationship struggles, career change, life transition, self-esteem, depression, and more.Integrative Psychotherapy aims to facilitate wholeness between the feeling, behavioural, cognitive, and physiological levels of functioning – in other words the whole person. This is done in part through looking at aspects of the self that you may be unaware of and making them conscious. Together we can look at the life you want for yourself and how to achieve it. Change takes time and cannot be rushed. I believe in providing focus and space, not pressure. I believe in removing expectation, often routed in the demands of others, and instead aligning ourselves with what we feel inside. Change comes about by clearing a path to where we want to be, not forcing our way through to it.I work in a way that is warm, empathic, non-judgemental, and direct. I am not a therapist who will stare at you in silence. I also believe there is a place for humour in therapy. My work draws on many theoretical orientations and styles. Because each person is unique, my work is different with every person that I see. I tailor my approach to help you and your individual needs. I offer a comfortable and confidential space where you can look at your life free of expectation or judgement.Dynamic Running Therapy includes the use of a smart phone app, and William's book, Running with Mindfulness: Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT) to Improve Low-mood, Anxiety, Stress, and Depression. You can find his book on Amazon, and the app is available for iPhone users in the app store.During our chat on the podcast:We dive more into what exactly Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT) is, how it works, and how this strategy can help not only with self-esteem, anxiety, stress, and depression, but many other mental health challenges.His Tedx Talk, "Movement is Medicine".How the struggles of his past, not only in childhood but chalSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sPH8pMZ)
