• Why Trauma Therapy is Failing 28.03.2024 20min

  In this episode of the Head Trash & Healing Show, I delve into the topic of trauma therapy and why common approaches often fall short. Join me as I share insights and a powerful metaphor to help you better understand the true approach to healing trauma. Key Discussion Points: - The limitations of traditional methods for healing trauma and the prevalence of unresolved trauma in many individuals. - A powerful metaphor of being struck by an arrow to illustrate the ineffective approach to trauma healing, highlighting the focus on superficial details rather than addressing the root cause. - The impact of unhealed trauma on one's behaviour, relationships, and self-perception, and the tendency to form alliances with others who share similar experiences. - The importance of addressing emotional baggage, blame, shame, and pain as part of the trauma healing process, emphasising the role of forgiveness and self-awareness. - Overlooking areas such as ancestral trauma and subconscious influences in the healing process, and the need to widen the scope of trauma exploration beyond the conscious mind. Who Is This Episode For: This episode is for people who have experienced trauma and are seeking a deeper understanding of why traditional trauma healing methods may not have been effective for them. Listeners struggling with unhealed trauma, behavioural adaptations due to trauma, and emotional challenges stemming from past wounds will find valuable insights in this episode.

• Self-Regulation and Trauma Healing: Allen's Journey to Inner Peace 18.01.2024 54min

  In this week's episode of the Head Trash Healing Show, I had the absolute pleasure of diving into a rich and candid conversation with the remarkable Allen. Our focus? The fascinating and transformative journey of self-regulation. Allen, with his openness and vulnerability, shared his deeply personal experience of seeking self-regulation as a means to cope with life's adversities. We delved into his powerful four-year self-regulation journey, which began amid business closures and a challenging divorce, propelling him into a profound process of self-rebuilding. Together, we explored the concept of emotional regulation as the capacity to feel secure within oneself, enabling us to actively engage with life's complexities and choose our responses to triggers and challenges. Allen's relentless pursuit of self-regulation has unveiled a beautiful, ongoing evolution, marked by a sincere commitment to his own personal growth. The interview wove through the tapestry of Allen's daily self-care rituals and the impact of having a supportive community, especially during times of isolation. His resilience and drive determined to rewrite the narratives of his early life traumas were truly inspiring. We ventured into the intertwined threads of trauma, belief systems, and archetypes, uncovering how these elements shape our behaviors and perceptions. Allen's courageous resilience in confronting and reshaping various traumas, including ancestral and in utero trauma, illuminated the profound impact of our formative experiences. What struck a chord with me was his poignant account of isolation during a tumultuous period in his life, and how he channeled it into a profound inward journey. His insistence on "trauma hunting" and the unrelenting pursuit of inner clarity ignited a powerful sense of growth and self-understanding. I was particularly moved by Allen's approach to relationships, especially amidst personal turmoil. His commitment to understanding others' coping mechanisms, maintaining a regulated nervous system, and extending compassion reflected an incredible depth of emotional intelligence and personal integrity. The episode was topped off with Allen sharing his self-regulating practices, including meditation, engaging in substance-based ceremonies, and the use of devices like Apollo Neuro, exemplifying the significance of integrating various tools in our personal growth journeys. The conversation left me feeling deeply enriched and inspired. Allen's honest and poignant account of personal resilience and spiritual growth is a testament to the transformative power of self-awareness, community support, and the pursuit of inner balance. I invite you to tune into the full episode and embrace Allen's wisdom as we continue on our shared journey of healing and growth. And remember, you're not alone in your pursuit of self-regulation and personal transformation.
• How to Measure the Impact of Healing and Inner Work 12.10.2023 52min

  Today we have an incredibly fascinating topic to explore - the map of consciousness - and how it can be used to measure the progress of inner work. In this episode, we'll explore how our consciousness can impact our emotions, perceptions, and problem-solving abilities. I'll also be taking a closer look at the concept of healing work, its effectiveness, and why I think it's important to measure the progress of inner work as we navigate our emotional healing journey. Join me as we explore a powerful tool that can help us track our growth, overcome fears and anxieties, and ultimately live a more content and fulfilling life. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and get ready to delve into the intriguing world of mapping consciousness on the Head Trash Show. Have you ever questioned the effectiveness of the healing work you've been investing your time, energy, and resources into? Are you looking for a tool to help you measure your progress and gain insights into your emotional well-being? If so, this episode is a must-listen. To avoid unnecessary pain, I explain why I encourage you to take a careful assessment of whether attending personal development events or engaging in healing activities has truly benefited you. Unfortunately, 'feeling better' is not enough to evaluate the effectiveness of healing work. Instead, I think we should be measuring the impact of your healing journey on your consciousness, emotional state, perception of the world, and problem-solving abilities. This is where I think a tool like the Map of Consciousness can help us to measure the progress of inner work. This tool includes a scale ranging from 0 to 1000, which can be used to help you quantify and track your progress. To illustrate the power of this tool, I share a personal story from a particularly challenging chapter of my life, emotionally speaking. At the time, I was wrestling with anxiety, depression and overwhelming grief, and it was against this backdrop that a positive pregnancy test result sent me even deeper into despair. I didn't realise I suffered from tokophobia (extreme fear of pregnancy and birth), and that was why I was feeling the way I was. This experience forced me to step up to the healing table because I couldn't stay feeling that way. Over the next eighteen months I did a lot of inner work, that eventually paid off. So I decided to revisit this period of my life through the lens of this tool to see what I could learn. I knew that my thinking had changed - quite dramatically - but how would this be portrayed using the map of consciousness?  Could I see the impact of my healing activities? Was it possible for me to measure the progress of inner work that I had done? Could the tool offer me additional insights for my healing journey? What I learned blew my mind! In understanding my level of consciousness and how it has changed, it has helped me navigate challenging situations and make shifts in my own growth. This episode is filled with practical insights and actionable steps to help you measure your progress on your healing journey. And, if you want to know where you are on the Head Trash Ladder of Healing, you can do my quiz, which will tell you whether you're a Conker, Washing Ball, Bouncy Ball, Snooker Ball or Glitter Ball. This is a valuable quiz that can help you identify where you currently are on your journey of self-discovery.

• Mental Fitness 06.06.2023 31min

  On this episode of Head Trash Show, I explore the relationship between emotional healing and mental fitness, and how they can impact productivity in our daily lives. Through the discussion, I share that our mental fitness level can reveal patterns affecting emotional health, emphasising the need to tackle both. Regular "head trash clear out" is essential in addressing emotional and mental clutter, just like exercising is better when done consistently. Alexia shares her personal experiences and encourages you to prioritise your mental fitness and emotional well-being. We learn that healing fears can lead to a shift in mental fitness, resulting in clear thinking, decisiveness, and increased productivity. Mindfulness is also discussed as a tool for identifying and managing emotions and fears, leading to personal growth.

• Understanding Trauma with Alex Heath 01.11.2022 58min

  In this podcast episode, I'm chatting with Alex Heath about healing from trauma.   I know Alex from my time working in the pregnancy and birth world, as Alex specialises in birth trauma and perinatal mental and emotional health.   For me, birth trauma is unique as far as trauma goes.   A huge aspect of trauma is the meaning we associate with a root event, and the meanings we hold around birth are off the scale. The emotional aspect of birth is huge,   When you consider how parents-to-be feel about the arrival of a new member of their family, there can be a lot of emotions invested in the birth event. This is the case no matter what kind of journey the family have had in the lead up to the birth. But if there has been a very difficult journey, with loss or fertility, then the emotions surrounding the birth will be very intense.   Add to that the fact that birth is a very physical event, this means that when birth doesn't go to plan, the pain can be twofold - physical and emotional.   Another huge aspect of trauma - or at least something that can exacerbate it - is when the person experiencing the traumatic event, feels trapped. Like there's no way out.   Birth is definitely one of those situations. Once the first few contractions start, there is no getting off that train until the baby has made an appearance. And if the birth is difficult and painful, this can add to the stress and trauma of the event.   It's for all these reasons that I thought that a conversation with Alex around trauma would be worth having and I was not disappointed.

• 5 emotional wounds we all suffer from 22.09.2022 1h 6min

  Healing your emotional wounds is essential if you're to reach your happy place, and stay there. Your emotional wounds can often be the source of your day-to-day triggers, so by healing your emotional wounds you're able to reduce the stress and anxiety you experience each day. The problem is that we're not always aware of what those wounds are. Many of the experiences that are at the root of these wounds probably happened before our conscious memory kicked in and so it can often feel like we're looking for a lost pin in the dark. Also, some of these wounds are built up over time with the repeating of similar experiences. So while one event might not stand out, it could be that we had many many experiences that followed a particular theme and over time, a wound was created. Just like if you get one scratch from your cat, it'll pass, but if your cat keeps scratching you in the same place, eventually it will get infected and be super painful. Then when it eventually stops, you'll probably get a scar #ouch If we are to think about our emotional wounds in terms of themes, it can get a bit easier for us to start to address them. Because even though we might not have strong memories of the individual events that created our emotional wounds, once we start thinking about how we've been affected by a particular theme in our life, memories start to come to the surface for us. What also helps us to heal our emotional wounds is starting with common emotional wounds that are common or universal. By starting here, we can begin to reduce the emotional load we're carrying and so make any onward journey easier. What is a universal emotional wound? There is a shortlist of emotional wounds that can be considered universal, in that they affect all of us to some degree. This is because they are experienced by us at a very young age before our we are able to fully understand what is going on. This means that simple experiences end up carrying a lot more emotional weight and impact than they should. For example, let's say a mother has to hand her new baby over to health care professionals just after the birth because she needs medical attention. In that moment, the baby is going to feel abandoned or rejected, and may also experience separation anxiety. And so the first of many wounds is in place. Of course, many of us have had situations whereby our parents or caregivers had moments when they were struggling and took it out on us as children. Being a parent I can testify to the triggering nature of kids, and it's all too easy to react in ways you'd rather not. All of our childhoods have had many of these kinds of experiences. Over time, these slowly build up to create painful emotional wounds that show up in our adult lives through our fears, emotional triggers, limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviours. With this as a backdrop, it's not surprising that as adults we are the emotional walking wounded. If we don't address these wounds, then just like physical wounds, they can start to fester. So for our emotional health and well-being, we're better off trying to understand what they are. Once we know what they are we can start taking steps to heal them. Below I'm going to share with you, some of the common or universal wounds that we all have to some degree. In sharing these with you, I'm also going to share how they show up - so that you can more easily spot if you have it recommended Head Trash Clearances that you can do to start healing the wound To read what these 5 emotional wounds are head over to the blog post that accompanies this podcast at https://clearyourheadtrash.com/blog/5-emotional-wounds/  To sign up for the live trauma clearances head over to  https://clearyourheadtrash.com/live-clearances/ 
• Micro-dosing for mental health, Simone's story 15.09.2022 56min

  Micro-dosing for mental health is something that has been explored for some time. The pioneer of this is the Czech-born psychologist Stanislav Grof. Micro-dosing is the practice of taking or administering very small amounts of a drug in order to test or benefit from its physiological action while minimising undesirable side effects. So when it comes to micro-dosing psychedelics, this means consuming very low, sub-hallucinogenic doses of a psychedelic substance, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) or psilocybin-containing mushrooms. The idea being that you get the benefit of the substance, without the trippy side-effects. This is a trend that's been building for a while now and articles in the media are now pretty common. Like this one in the New York Times: More People Are Microdosing for Mental Health. But Does It Work? There's even a show on Netflix about it: How to change your mind. In this show, author Michael Pollan leads the way in this docuseries exploring the history and uses of psychedelics, including LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and mescaline. Using micro-dosing therapeutically In his latest book, How to Change Your Mind, Michael Pollan writes of his own consciousness-expanding experiments with psychedelic drugs like LSD and psilocybin, and he makes the case for why shaking up the brain's old habits could be therapeutic for people facing addiction, depression, or death. As someone who's taken psychedelics - albeit recreationally and not therapeutically - I have no doubt that they have the potential to provide therapeutic support when taken in small doses, but I was curious to hear someone's experience of this. So when a friend of mine shared a link to an article on Facebook where she was interviewed on how she had used micro-dosing to improve her mental health, I knew I wanted to talk to her about it. Here's the article: Can microdosing psychedelics improve your mental health? Here's what the science says I came to know Simone when I interviewed her for my Fear Free Childbirth podcast about the time she gave birth in a stream. Her YouTube video of the birth at the time had hit over 55 million views and my podcast interview with her has been one of my top episodes on that podcast. Giving birth in nature takes a special kind of fearlessness and confidence in oneself, which Simone had in bucketloads. Simone's experience of micro-dosing for mental health As an experienced therapist Simone also has extensive knowledge and experience in managing emotional and mental wellbeing, so I was particularly interested in hearing how she came to turn to micro-dosing to help with her mental health. My conversation with Simone During my conversation with Simone we discuss; what lead to her deciding to try micro-dosing what substance she took micro-doses of how she felt once she started micro-dosing how long she used micro-dosing for how she came to know that her time for micro-dosing was coming to an end Micro-dosing Resources During our conversation Simone shared some books and resources. These are listed below; Books: A Really Good Day by Ayelet Waldman How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan Website: www.thethirdwave.co. Recommend this for a solid, practical introduction to microdosing. Articles: Simone recommends this article because a lot has come out recently about the fact that Drs/Psychiatrists/Scientists don't really know how anti-depressants work. Likewise, despite decades of research into psychedelics, we still don't know exactly how psychedelics work either. She thinks it's wise to be cautious and proceed carefully, but not to have fear about using psychedelics. https://psychedelicspotlight.com/the-truth-about-depression-serotonin-ssris-and-psychedelics/ Shows: Fantastic Fungi on Netflix How to Change Your Mind on Netflix Here's some research I came across: Psychedelic microdosing benefits and challenges: an empirical codebook https://harmreductionjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12954-019-0308-4 About Simone Simone Surgeoner is a therapist and mentor who has helped thousands of people find their own authentic path in life. She enjoys nothing more than exploring the depths of what it means to be human. Using herself as her own guinea pig, Simone demonstrates beingness as arising from integrity with one's essence. Helping people find their inner truth, through their own direct experience, is the core of Simone's work.

• Balancing your inner feminine and masculine 07.09.2022 56min

  Your inner masculine and feminine Do you think your inner masculine and feminine energies are in balance? Does this question even make sense to you? I ask that because I've had some conversations with people when they've looked a bit puzzled when asked. They simply didn't understand the question. The idea of having inner masculine and feminine energies was a total mystery to them. While I've been aware of these differing energies for a while, it's only really in the last three years or so that I've been taking a closer look at them personally. A few weeks ago I shared some learnings I had around balancing my inner masculine and feminine which you can read here: Are you denying your feminine energy? I had realised how much I had been denying my inner feminine during my life, and how I'd dialled up my inner masculine to compensate. This came with costs that are really now only clear to me now that I've brought about more balance. Balancing your inner masculine and feminine I don't feel for a minute that both my masculine and feminine energies are totally within balance. But now I'm a lot more savvy as to why it's important for them to be in balance, and how to go about bringing our feminine and masculine energies into balance. But, I don't feel savvy enough about this to be able to speak with authority on it. All that I know is that it's important to restore balance, as with all aspects of life. What I really needed was someone else who IS totally savvy to break all this down for me, and you! This is where my conversation with Zoe-Anna comes in. When I was seeking out more information on balancing our inner masculine and inner feminine, I came across one of Zoe-Anna's articles and I thought "THIS is the person I need to speak to!". I was thrilled when she replied right back with a YES! Zoe-Anna does not disappoint. During our chat we explore; What are our masculine and feminine energies What does being in balance look like How do we know when we're out of balance; tell tale signs What do each of these energies do for us What is toxic masculinity or toxic femininity is and how it shows up
