Uschi - my counsellor

08/07/20 • 54 min

Counselling can help clear your mind and set you on a course for positive change - if you’re ready. Uschi shares the top three ways that we as a society can live by the ethos of 'Keeping It Real’: 1) welcome the day, 2) practice gratitude, 3) to live with acceptance.

Uschi used to be my counsellor. She shared tools and frameworks that I use and remember continually and they have led me to living MY BEST LIFE! I want this episode to breakdown the taboo over counselling and give everyone the reassurance that having counselling is OK... actually it’s more than OK. I’d say it’s a ‘must’ for EVERYONE because we all have our own unique levels of 💩to deal with.

We also discuss one of the frameworks that Uschi talked me through during my counselling which helped me grasp a better understanding of relationships with all people: The Drama Triangle and flipping that so it becomes The Empower Dynamic.

Megan - a working mum in broadcast with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Megan has been working in the broadcast industry for the last 8 years. She now works for Sky, is a mum to a toddler and has lived with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) since childhood. Megan talks really openly about the impacts of RA on her emotional wellbeing, owning her own truths and the constant drive to improve using ‘exposure therapy’ (a rather fantastic phrase coined by Megan herself!)

Too Nice

When it comes to being in a relationship, have you ever felt like you’ve compromised a little too much? Have you conformed that bit too easily? Have you always put others before yourself? Then you may be able to relate to this poem that explores what it is to be ‘too nice.’
