This week we explore the fascinating world of confidence-building through therapy. I am pleased to introduce my very clever sister Lorraine Brown, a seasoned integrative counsellor, cognitive behavioural therapist, and mindfulness teacher.
We journey through Lorraine's personal battle with low self-esteem and depression, shedding light on her road to recovery that ignited when she bravely reached out to a counsellor. We also gain insights into the differences and striking similarities between a life coach and a counsellor.
Dive deeper into the therapeutic world as we discuss acceptance and commitment therapy and person-centred counselling. These approaches offer a unique perspective on identifying things we can change vs things we can't, guiding us on a path to lead a life that aligns with our values.
The conversation takes an intriguing turn towards Paul Gilbert's Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and the trauma-informed approach. We dissect the three primary systems in our brain - our threat system, achievement drive, and self-soothing & relational drive - to understand how they collaborate to create balance and security.
We learn about the crucial role a trauma-informed approach plays in supporting individuals with a trauma background, and how you can find professionals who are members of a counselling body. So, if you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, self-compassion, and confidence building, this episode is a must-listen!
