Today I’m joined by the unbelievable Dr. Anita Phillips, a trauma therapist and mental health expert that is SO DAMN GOOD at empowering women like you to actually find safety in your body and your emotions again. Dr. Anita gets SOOO real and honest with her incredible insights into WHY we deny our emotions so much and how this has a knock on effect to our confidence. The reality is, your emotions are not your enemy – they are actually bodily experiences that INFORM your thinking (not the other way around)!! We also dive into: How to turn your pain into power (especially after a heartbreak, or when you feel lost or been betrayed!) How your emotions are like hunger pains & what happens when you ignore them Why we negotiate pain & how that, PLUS the fear of the future, holds us back The POWER that comes from sitting with your “WHAT IFs” instead of ignoring them Why you MUST experience the pain or it will never leave you (and will actually multiply!) How confidence is faithfulness to yourself Why we need love, hope and faith or we will experience a lot of sadness, anger and fear Why you should NEVER judge yourself when you have emotional needs & what to do instead How you must feel your feelings if you want to let them go How to stop the seeds of bad thoughts from growing and spreading in your mind The dangers of spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity Why satisfaction is not a destination How to respond to your shame so you can actually start to love yourself BETTER Dr. Anita has SOOO many amazing experiences and insights to share, so you can stop living in your fears and start to be more powerful and confident in your life.
