In the right hands, talking therapy can be useful... but when done in isolation, is it enough to create lasting change?
In this episode, we'll be exploring the limitations of talking therapy (on it's own), why it often falls short, and what to do about instead.

Have you ever tried to change only to end up back at square one?
You wanted to change and were determined to make it happen but you ended up self-sabotaging and falling back into old patterns.
It may have even felt like some kind of hidden force was pulling you back to the old way, preventing you from moving forward.
This happens to many people and it can be so frustrating.
So, in this episode, I'll be taking a look at why this happens, the psychology behind it, and how to address this (often hidden) self-sabotaging force.

When we're looking to create change in our life, it's tempting to look outward. Or to blame external events for making us the way that we are.
And sure... external events do matter. But, if we want things to change, we need to first look inwards. By making a change in our psychology and mindset, it opens us up to new choices & options that we didn't see before, and it allows us to tap into more of our own potential.

So in this episode, we'll be taking a look at these layers and exploring the 7 attitudes of Mindfulness (created by John Kabat-Zinn).
