Introduction to 2021

Christmas is generally a time of giving gifts and many people this year will be unable to spend time with loved ones and give their presents to them in person. This is really sad as for many people, the joy of giving gifts is in people’s reactions to their surprises. It is for me anyway. So, I thought I would spend some time looking into giving and random acts of kindness and consider how they can help our mental health. I also wanted to give you some suggestions so that if you fancied having a go, you can get some ideas.

Random acts of kindness, giving and mental health

I came across some of the research around self-compassion as part of my masters in psychology studies. On an academic level, the concept of self-compassion interested me and was relevant to the case study I was working with however there was also a personal interest. The more I read about self-compassion the more I realised something a little difficult to stomach, I was actually pretty poor at practicing it myself…. One of the amazing things about furthering my studies and working as a hypnotherapist is that I get to experience a wide range of different ways that people learn to manage their anxiety and often have to take a bit of a look at myself and consider how I deal with issues that come up for me. So, realising that I am not great at self-compassion is a little tricky for a therapist but also a great opportunity to learn. In order to get better at something, I personally like to understand it so this blog is going to consider what self-compassion is, why someone might struggle with it and how you might be able to get started in a small way even if the whole concept seems a bit unattainable to you. references Neff, K.

Why is self-compassion so hard?

There is more and more evidence coming out that nature has a really positive impact on people's wellbeing and their mental health. For many people though, nature is not an important part of their lives. In a study done by the National Trust and Derby University they found that only 19% of children regularly notice wildlife, 57% of adults rarely or never watched the sunrise in the last year and only 27% of people regularly watched the clouds. All of these activities are completely free and have been shown to make us feel good so the question is, how can we improve our relationship and connectedness to nature?   Here is a link to the research that this episode is based on, I would highly recommend taking the time to read it as there is so much useful information in there:  https://nt.global.ssl.fastly.net/documents/noticing-nature-report-feb-2020.pdf

How mindfulness in nature can improve mental health and anxiety

It is really common for me in clinic to work with people who are really struggling with sleep. There are a huge number of things that can affect sleep so in this episode I am going to talk about how anxiety affects sleep and then give you some suggestions as to how you can help yourself if sleep is an issue for you. This is quite a personal episode for me because I have struggled with sleep throughout most of my life, especially when I have been experiencing mental health problems. Many of the suggestions that I am going to talk about here are things that I still use or have found to be really helpful.

Tips for coping with crisis PLUS a campfire meditation

I was inspired to record this episode because of a really interesting conversation I had with another healthcare professional in relation to my marathon training at the moment. During the conversation I said quite flippantly that the training was just mind over matter and as I have learnt many ways of controlling my mind over the years, I’m pretty sure I would be fine. Later during a half marathon, I had quite a lot of time (I’m not a very fast runner) to think about this statement and consider what does it really mean and Is it in fact a good idea?

In this episode I am talking about how to overcome the anxiety around public speaking. As someone who has never been a natural speaker, I fully understand how terrifying the idea can be!!

When Axton Betz-Hamilton was 11 years old, her parents' identities were stolen. At that time, in the early 90s, consumer protection services for identity theft victims were basically non-existent. So the family dealt with the consequences as best they could. But then when Axton got to college, she realized that her identity had been stolen as well. Her credit score was in the lowest 2%.  As she was working to restore her credit, she inadvertently discovered who had stolen the family's identity. It would change everything forever.   View the photograph Axton describes here.   Criminal is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX. If you haven't already, please review us on Apple Podcasts!
