We’ve spoken before about what happens when High Performers push themselves so hard that they break down. But what happens when the physical break down symptoms occur, but you don’t realise it is because of your anxiety and mind?That’s the position Georgie Dent found herself in when her anxiety and stress sent her into a physical breakdown that took her over 4 months to recover from.Now she is the CEO at The Parenthood, ad writer and public speaker, but the journey to all of that was full of false starts and a lot of wrong answers that she had to overcome.In this episode she shares:Her life before her breakdownWhat happened at the moment of the breakdownWhat happened the day after the breakdownHow living with her health conditions showed up as anxiety and a constant negative scared mental loopWhy thinking the symptoms were in her head sent her into a spiralWhy she hated people being supportive and checking in with herWhat the 4 months after the breakdown were likeThe mental drain of continuously not finding a diagnosisThe appointment that was her turning pointHer experience going to a psychiatric hospitalWhat her life is like now and whether the anxiety remainsWhat happens when her health dips now and how she manages thatWhat it was like integrating back into society as she recovered Key Quotes “So much was making sense to me about how unforgiving I had been to myself for so long.” “I was living in a state of constant panic and anxiety that I didn’t realise.” “I had internalised this idea that because I had these medical issues I was deficient in some way.”More about GeorgieYou can find out more about Georgie and her projects here: https://georgiedent.com/Info on The Parent Hood is here: https://www.theparenthood.org.au/The two programs that make Georgie laugh are Schitts Creek and VEEP.You can get involved with the podcast online To try out our resilience course: https://www.challengesthatchangeus.com/surviving-2-thriving-course1On facebook in our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengesthatchangeusOr on Instagram: @challengesthatchangeusIf you want to contact the podcast, email us here: [email protected] check out our website: www.Challengesthatchangeus.com If you want to find out more about what Ali does, check out her business via the website:http://www.trialtitudeperformance.com.au For her other business you can find it through the websites:www.altitudefitnessarmidale.com.au@trialtitudeperformance Hosted on Acast.
