When we recognise and diagnose them, we can begin a more positive path.We have habit loops in the brain that serve to soothe and regulate us. If we notice these parts of ourselves and listen to them, we exponentially increase the healing effects they provide.In order to promote trust with those who seek you out, you have to be congruent and authentic - you have to know your values and show up in them whatever you're doing.BEST MOMENTS'I delved into mindfulness and meditation''We often use coping mechanisms to numb our feelings''Instead of pushing things away, it's about opening and bringing everything in''Health is a flourishing model'VALUABLE RESOURCESEmail Leo at [email protected] ABOUT THE GUESTDr Emilia Thompson is a Registered Nutritionist, university lecturer, associate fellow of the higher education academy and online nutrition consultant providing an evidence-based, compassionate approach to nutrition.
