Podcast Description:In this episode, the conversation unfolds as a deep dive into the challenges of modern adulthood, exploring personal growth, societal expectations, and the evolving landscape of energy and technology. The discussion begins with reflections on gratitude and the complexities of "adulting," shedding light on the responsibilities and decisions that shape our lives.The conversation then shifts to the joys and challenges of traveling, highlighting how exploration can influence our perspectives and personal development. The hosts explore the future of energy, discussing sustainability, innovation, and the impact of these changes on daily life. They also touch on the feeling of having "no choice" in certain situations and how mindset plays a crucial role in navigating limitations.As the discussion continues, they examine the emotional toll of modern life, including the concept of "personate" and the mental energy required for decision-making. The risks of letting go, career uncertainties, and the intersection of social media with the education system further add to the thought-provoking dialogue.Finally, the conversation turns toward the rise of AI, the responsibility of making decisions for future generations, and the contrast between childhood and adulthood. The episode wraps up with an exploration of children's energy—how it differs from adults' and what lessons can be learned from their unfiltered enthusiasm for life.Through it all, the hosts offer insights into navigating an ever-changing world, embracing uncertainty, and finding balance in the journey of life.00:00 Intro02:58 Thank you03:37 Adulting05:06 Traveling10:47 Energy for the future12:45 No choice13:39 Personate23:50 Mental energy25:17 Risk of letting go27:52 No job31:20 Social media and the school system33:56 AI movement39:34 Decisions for your kids42:30 Childhood vs. adulthood47:45 Energy of childrenGuest Bio:Although perhaps best known for her work as a sports tv presenter, Alexandra has over 15 years of experience as a yoga, meditation and mindset teacher. After a rather innocuous fall, resulting in a broken spine, 3 prolapsed discs and a dislocated pelvis, doctors discovered she had a severe degenerative disc disease and was told she would never be able to do any form of high impact or heavy load exercise again. So she focussed instead on yoga, meditation and her mindset. Within a few months it became apparent that the benefits she gained from practising yoga would not just be physical, but mental. Within 6 months, Alex was stronger physically and mentally than ever before.  While she now still endures pain, it is manageable, predominantly, she feels, as a result of having a new positive relationship with her body. She went on to train as a teacher in India and has since travelled the world teaching yoga in some wonderful places. She has also written and created 6 top selling beginners yoga dvds, and reached #1 on the Amazon UK fitness charts.Alex is also a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and combines her love and knowledge of the holistic world with psychotherapy.

Alexandra's 3 mindset messages: Contentment is your baseline... it's clutter that's blocking it Your past is a teacher, not a master Self awareness and knowledge is power. Food "Maybe something I wouldn't often have... Flavours... Colours... Maybe Thai or Asian?" Alexandra responded. I absolutely love cooking Asian food, so after a little research to get inspiration, I decided to cook Thai green coconut curry with salmon. The fish delivery arrived on the morning of filming, so it was beautiful and fresh. I used as many greens as I could to make this curry vibrant with colours and flavours. I was pleased to hear that Alexandra would attempt to cook this dish when she is visiting her relative in Asia a few weeks later. It turned out delicious! Sometimes, simplicity is the key to a beautiful dish.  Please visit www.mindsetkitchen.co.uk for full guest and recipe details.

"So I would just invite everyone to, and it's different for everybody, but to consider our own personal relationships and what leadership looks like in those relationships. And to broaden the concept of leadership, which is something that we've spoken about a lot, beyond the title of someone with a certain stature or status. And to see leadership as a form of stewarding relationships to people in place every single day and that's something that we all are part of".

When Dance Movement psychotherapy (DMP) was first documented in the 1940s, it was based on Harry Stack Sullivan's interpersonal psychiatry, C. G. Jung's active imagination and the principles of expressive modern dance and dance theatre. DMP is a therapy modality committed to discovering the cultural and social benefits of individual and collective human creativity and does so with the use of movement, improvisation, symbolism, imagination and movement analysis. Drawing from her own innovative bridging between DMP and body psychotherapies, contemporary humanistic psychotherapies and relational psychoanalysis, Sissy will explore with you both the practice and the theory of non-verbal dialogue via the expressive use of our bodies and movement. Working with movement and the body introduces vital new ways of thinking and acting into a situation. So, when it comes to feelings of frustration because one cannot find the ‘right words', because logos (the word) is not adequate to carry matters forward, there is a place for ideas such as bodily expression, rhythm, integration, cohesion, body symbolism and synchrony. Sissy Lykou is a Dance Movement Psychotherapist in private practice, and a Lecturer in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regents University in London. She lectures on several university and professional training programmes in the UK and Europe, and has worked on EU research projects at the Universities of Heidelberg and Athens. Initially Sissy trained as a dancer before injury intervened. She then undertook trainings as a Counselling Psychologist, Dance Movement Psychotherapist, and Integrative Psychotherapist. Alongside her work as a lecturer and clinician, she has been developing innovative therapeutic-educational projects for under 5s and their parents and carers in children's centres in London. Sissy has published in books and international journals, and is the co-editor of the book ‘Trauma in the Creative and Embodied Therapies: When Words Are Not Enough' by Routledge.

What is gaslighting syndrome and how does the term "coercive control" play a part in it? Join your favorite podcast guest, Christine Louis de Canonville, as we discuss her newest book The Gaslighting Syndrome. In “The Gaslighting Syndrome” Christine Louis de Canonville (a mental health professional) demystifies the phenomenon of “Gaslighting”. Gaslighting is a dangerous form of psychological abuse and coercive control that is akin to “Intimate Terrorism”, and anybody can become a target.In "The Gaslighting Syndrome", The reader is taken inside the mind of some of the darkest intimate terrorists that live amongst us. This book is essential reading for anybody struggling in an emotionally abusive relationship (i.e. in the home, the workplace, or a friendship) and cannot figure out exactly what is happening. If you do not understand the pathological narcissist with their “Gaslighting” behaviour, how are you ever going to recognise their manipulative psychological and emotional abuse that will rob you of your identity? Furthermore, if you are a victim, when are you to know when it is time to break free of their deadly Ambient Abuse and Coercive Control?Christine Louis de Canonville is a licensed psychotherapist and clinical supervisor living in Dublin, Ireland. She is also an author, a professional trainer, and international speaker, a lecturer, workshop facilitator and external examiner.She has worked in the area of mental health and trauma recovery for the last 28 years, providing psychotherapy to children and adults for a range of life issues, including Addictive Behaviours, Anxiety, Anger, and Relational Issues.For 5 years, she worked in the Trauma Unit of St. Brendan’s Psychiatric Hospital under the watchful eye of the eminent Professor Ivor Browne. In 1995 she set-up her own private clinical practice where she now specialises in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery.Her life as a “care-giver” started in earnest when she was 23, and it was both a painful and magnificent adventure through both Western and Eastern paradigm of thought. Her philosophy of life is that every great artist uses a palate of many colours to bring their canvas to life, and this is true of any effective therapist.Her palate is made-up of many disciplines, from Psychology, Medical Anthropology, Philosophy, Sociology, Criminology, Criminal Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Metaphysics, Spirituality, Theology, and more. All these disciplines are wonderfully compatible to the life of any Psychotherapist.Christine works primarily as a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist, where she incorporates a Person Centred Approach, utilizing a range of modalities (Western & Eastern) where appropriate. She is also a qualified accredited Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Master NLP Practitioner, Master of Clinical Hypnosis, Life, Business & Executive Coach, Spiritual Director, Shamanic Counsellor, Curandera Practitioner, and Transpersonal Therapist.Since qualifying, she has been a member of many accredited Boards and is a Member of the Irish Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists. Christine is also a trained and accredited Psycho-Spiritual Psychotherapist: Throughout the years, she was also going through personal spiritual development. True to form, her quest for “truth” was to take her to visit many places. She did her fieldwork study (for her Master’s Degree in Medical Anthropology) with indigenous Shamans from Native American Sioux Indians, to Peruvian, Bolivian, European, Celtic, and Mexican shamans.She also studied comparative religions, and to her surprise, she became a Theologian. For many years, she worked with Emaho, an American Indian from New Mexico, who challenged her to see life through “Life’s Eyes” rather than through the eyes of the personality. Her journey also saw her apprenticed to Eloxochitl, a Curandera Teacher in the Medicina Mexihka Tradition (Mexican Shaman). In 2006, Christine was honoured as a Curandera and a Warrior Woman when she was given the Native American Indian name of “Cihuatequiani”, which means “Woman Who Works”.It has been part of her life’s work to integrate these two ways of knowing (Western Behavioural Psychology with Eastern Consciousness Psychology) into an Integral Transpersonal Therapy. This is a seamless way of working with the whole person, not just on a mental, emotional, and physical level, but also at a spiritual/soul level of the self.She grew up with an older psychopathic brother from childhood. Unfortunately, due to her early conditioning, she found herself re-experiencing victimisation during her adult life by three other narcissists (2 females and 1 male). About 12 years ago, she began Criminology Studies, and she became very interested in Psychopathy, which is the study of The Dark Triad (the classical narcissist, malignant narcissist, and the psychopath). She completed her post-graduate diplomas in both Forensic Psychology and Criminal Psychology.Having done her own recovery work, Christine became the “Wounded Healer”. She decided to specialise in helping other people in their recovery from toxic relationships, especially those who had been victims of pathological narcissistic abuse. She became a published author of The Three Faces of Evil: Unmasking the full spectrum of narcissistic abuse, and has gone on to publish two more books on the subject of narcissistic abuse.She appeared in the popular Television Documentary – Evil: A Would You Believe?

Forest Bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, is the practice of immersing yourself in nature as therapy. It’s the perfect antidote for those who feel disconnected from the land and unattached from nature, which is increasingly likely to happen in a world where 55% of us live in urban areas.  In this episode, I speak to Stefan Batorijs who founded Nature and Therapy UK in 2017, as a response to a growing need to foster a spiritual and psychological connection to the land. If you’ve always wondered what Forest Bathing, or Shinrin Yoku, entails, this is the episode for you!  About Stefan Stefan has been exploring the wild places for 50 years, and trained originally in Countryside Management, Conservation and Environmental Education. He is a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and Mountain Leader, with 25 years experience facilitating individuals and groups in natural environments. In 2008 he established the highly acclaimed Ecotherapy Project with Plymouth NHS, for people with severe and enduring mental health needs. Stefan is currently an Associate Lecturer at    Plymouth University. He teaches the role of Nature and benefits of natural immersion for mental health and recovery from trauma on the Clinical Psychology Doctorate Training. Stefan is passionate about trees, birds and Sacred land. Stefan is a member of INFOM, the International Society of Nature and Forest Medicine and a member of the Eco-psychology Network.
