What's more, it can also contribute to changes in your microbiome leading to conditions like SIBO and leaky gut. In gut focused therapy, when we know there are psychologial or emotional aspects of your symptoms, we use the gut as the portal to reach all those places that are asking for your attention; this is about resolvi...

It's so easy to get bogged down in things that aren't working - ill health, symptoms, stress, overwhelm, life. But how much time do you actually spending visioning where you'd like to be and taking intentional action towards it? Visioning on its own is not enough, it's just wishing. You must then be intentional and take action and begin to live your life in the way you vision it to be. That's when it happens.

When we evolve, whether it's health wise or psychologically, there's a gap between point A (where we were) and point B (where we want to be). That gap can be incredibly uncomfortable. It takes time to cross the gap, and we can do it with impatience and criticism or kindness and space; both will determine the quality of our journey and our self-esteem.

When we get worried and hypervigilent, our fear narrows our attention which means we only see part of the picture. In this episode we discuss why and how this happens, and more importantly, how to open our awareness with curiosity.

Stress affects the gut; it's meant to biologically. If you're stressed and your gut is upset, we can't blame the gut - it's attending to the source of stress that will make all the difference. We talk about survival mode, the stress response (fight and flight) and why you're trapped in this cycle.

Each one of us has inbuilt behaviours, and sometimes they just aren’t serving us well. Shaping those behaviours into more effective ones is deeply rewarding, builds self-mastery and therefore self-esteem and self-respect. And who doesn’t want more of those?

Food Anxiety? Hypervigilence about food? Afraid of food? Don't know what to eat? The above are all anxiety behaviours. They heighten your nervous system and upset your digestion and tolerance to food. When you soften the anxiety, your symptoms will soften and your body will stop being hyper reactive to food.

Softening is different to letting go. Letting go feels frightening, like a huge leap and it’s a one-time option that could go well or not, and feels risky. But softening, well, that’s soft. It’s gentle and safe. It’s just loosening your grip slightly while you still hold yourself steady.

Happy Inside originally focused on gut disorders. While they still remain a big focus, the app now includes other chronic conditions, illness, pain, anxiety and stress. Why? Because gut disorders are just one way psychological and emotional factors present themselves in the body; there are many other avenues for the body to express them and it only seems fair that there’s support for this too. It’s all the same concept, just a different expression in the body. So let’s go through the 3 main prac...

We have the freedom and power of choice. We can be annoyed at what’s happening in the spaces around us, or we can let that go and focus on creating an internal space that promotes wellness. When our internal environment is content, it vastly changes how we see the external one, how we relate to it and how it affects us.

Emotions aren’t tangible objects you pack into a box and store under the stairs or in the attic. You can’t just sweep them into a dustpan or out the front door. Emotions are energy within you and when you push that energy aside, you’re doing so inside your own body.

It’s evident that we are seeking for something more. Grasping though has a different feel to it; it comes from a place of fear. Two things happen when we grasp: We clutch at something outside of us We abandon ourselves If you're looking for a sense of safety and freedom and calm, there'...
