Fully Free with Ashley is going to be including many more mental health topics and conversations that are accessible for anyone and everyone who wants to commit to diving into internal work and through these processes step into more self-discovery and empowerment in their lives. I want this podcast to be a source of inspiration, knowledge, support, and authenticity for everyone to tune into and learn something from.
This was my favourite episode to record so far, with my dear friend Laura Emmerson who is an Ontario Psychotherapist (Qualifying). Laura owns and runs her own counselling practise in Oakville and she makes a difference in her clients lives every day through helping them navigate the challenges along their journey. Today we spoke about core beliefs, having self-compassion and sitting with all of of emotions in life. We discussed:
What are core beliefs?
How core beliefs develop
Examples of core beliefs?
Consequences of letting our core beliefs run us?
How can we become aware of our core beliefs? How can we shift them?
Having self-compassion as we move through this internal work
Feeling all the emotions on the spectrum
Sitting with our emotions
Raising our children and emotions
I am grateful to have such a conscious, aware and loving friend and I am so proud of her for becoming a psychotherapist as her career. You can find Laura on instagram @navigatecounsellingservices and her website; https://www.navigatecounsellingoakville.com/. I hope you are all holding up okay at home during COVID19, and remember to care for yourselves as you care for your loved ones too.
