Cath Counihan

Dec 20, 2022

Ironically Christmas is often a time when many of us struggle with our mental health and with staying in a regulated enough place.

Cath addresses why this may happen, focuses on why an understanding of our nervous system is so helpful in de-shaming this experience and suggests some practical tips to help you if you are feeling like this.

Please know that you are not alone if you struggle at Christmas AND there is hope in terms of how you manage yourself and your experience. You can re-frame and re-focus to help yourself and Cath explains what actually helps with this.

Discussion about this podcast

Grow Yourself Up

Grow Yourself Up is a podcast to support all of us in our adult lives.

Many of us did not get our needs adequately met in childhood. The devastating legacy of trauma, wounding and traumatic stress lives on in our brains, our bodies, our nervous systems and our behaviour/reactions. Which in turn impacts the way we turn up to our lives in many ways.

We are going to unpack all of this on Grow Yourself Up. This podcast will be a companion as you travel on your own road of healing and recovery. You will learn you are not alone.

Someone has been where you are.

There is hope.

We will break down shame together and learn to cultivate self compassion.

There is always the possibility for change.

And regardless of what has happened in our past, as adults we have to take responsibility for our own lives. We have to tend to our pain, our sadness and our dysfunction so that we can live a life we love and shift toxic patterns for our children.
