That is why this is a very different and special episode of Challenges That Change Us. We have brought back our in house psychologist Vanessa De Sauty to demonstrate what an actual therapy session looks like. In this episode I’ll be in the patients seat and working through things with Vanessa so you can get a real idea of what to expect.   In this episode we share:   -      What the counselling process actually is -      The repercussions of withdrawing from relationships to ‘protect yourself’ -      The challenge of reconnecting and asking for help -      That I am able to show up in the thick of adversity but not when it passes -      Filtering this through a CBT lens and finding strategies to work on -      The core beliefs that happen on childhood that could lead to patterns in behaviour -      Cognitive flexibility and strengthening underused mental muscles   Key Quotes   “ I feel like I'm pulling from an empty bucket and I don't actually have anything to offer or give to other people.”   Vanessa To find out more about Vanessa, check out her website HERE.   You can get involved with the podcast online   On facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeus Or on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeus If you want to contact the podcast, email us here: support@challengesthatchangeus.com Or check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.com   If you want to find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website: http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.au   Hosted on Acast.
