I'm catching up with Katie for the first time in aaaages for this end of the season episode!
We talk about periods and cycles (Katie's celebrating having her coil out!) and Maisie Hill's excellent book, Period Power.
We also talk about manifesting love, one of my all time fave topics, and Katie completely blows my mind with what she experienced at the Fire Ceremony I held on the beach on the Summer Solstice!
Finally we talk about saying goodbye to Mums' Days, the blog I've had for 12 years (she's decided to teach me ALLLLL the lessons on the way out!).

Today I bring you the second part of my chat with my own therapist, Johnny Morton, from Blue Talking Therapies.
Johnny supported me through recovering from PTSD, anxiety and (I discovered in last week's episode which explains everything about these different conditions) depression symptoms after my relationship with my ex-husband broke down and throughout a rather traumatic divorce.
Johnny gives loads of advice about how to manage our emotions after the recovery has taken place - because while we can recover from the immediate issues of these conditions, the thing that caused it in the first place (trauma, negative thoughts of self, our believe systems) never go away.
He talks about compassion, balanced views, slowing down and other incredible techniques for coping with life after trauma and difficulties.
You can listen to last week's episode with Johnny here: 84 - Panic Attacks, PTSD and Trauma in Divorce with my Therapist, Johnny Morton

This week I'm talking to my very own therapist, Johnny Morton, from Blue Talking Therapies.
We talk about getting over the hurdle of starting therapy (I certainly found it terrifying) and why it is so important to talk about your secrets and anything you're ashamed of.
We also talk about PTSD, how you can get it from relationships, the difference between PTSD, depression and anxiety, and what you can do about each of them. So helpful and interesting in equal measures.
It's more or less a live therapy session where I ask him why CBT worked so well on me and discover what techniques he has used on me.
You can get in touch with Blue Talk Therapies here.
We also talk about The Compassionate Mind Workbook.

Ah, the illusive pursuit of happiness! Overwhelm, stress, time scarcity, and modern day life have such a huge impact on the way we feel. The treadmill can leave us feeling like a calm, peaceful, happy existence is just for the instagram squares, am I right?
Or is it?
If I told you it might just be possible to tip the balance from manic to happier with 6 simple steps*, would you be willing to give it a try? Great, come and have a listen :)
*only one of them includes an Inside Out reference! And yes I'm very exited for Inside Out 2 this month!!!

Today I am joined by Penny Brereton, a long time blogging friend whom I reconnected with during my divorce because she was having almost exactly the same kind of experience at almost exactly the same time. We were even doing many of the same healing techniques.
