Manage episode 407917813 series 3490806
Have you ever laughed so hard that it led to an epiphany about yourself? That's exactly what happened to us, Noel and Lena, when we pulled out the Skin Deep cards in our latest Let that Shift Go podcast episode. Join us for a heartfelt session where we peel back the layers of our unconscious patterns, revealing the emotional terrain shaped by our past. From tackling perfectionism to understanding how criticism can trigger unexpected responses rooted in childhood, we share our personal stories and offer strategies for uncovering the blind spots that dictate our behaviors.
Life can often feel like a complex puzzle, especially when it comes to relationships and emotional reactions. We open up about the dance between different attachment styles, with myself (Noel) navigating an anxious attachment and my wife's avoidant tendencies. Lena and I discuss the monumental role of taking a step back to observe our behaviors, the power of not taking criticism personally, and the significance of mindfulness practices in fostering self-awareness and healing. Our anecdotes and insights aim to guide you through the delicate process of self-reflection and understanding the roots of your emotional landscape.
Ever find solace in the rhythm of your footsteps or the whisper of leaves in a forest? We wrap up our episode by discussing the therapeutic power of walking and talking, and the calming embrace of nature. It's about finding what works for you, whether that's breathwork, meditation, or simply taking a stroll to clear your mind. We invite you to join our conversation, share your questions and experiences, and continue your journey of self-discovery with us, Noel and Lena, on the Let that Shift Go podcast.
