We as human beings create comfort zones to protect ourselves in many ways. Sometimes we become comfortable in those boundaries we create, then it becomes detrimental to our growth and bravery to step out into the world with more openness and positivity. 

This conversation today is about staying aware that we don't become accustomed to staying within our comfort zones and over-protecting ourselves. To help us explore this conundrum is an expert mind, body, and medicine clinician, Dr. Emma Mardlin. 

Dr. Em, as she’s commonly known, is a writer, metaphysical researcher, trainer, psychotherapist, and founding member of the Pinnacle Practice in the UK, where she works primarily with both adults and children dealing with psychological and physical conditions and traumas. Her clinical practice involves human psychology, the unconscious mind, and the entire neurology to activate positive results both mentally and physically.

​​I found out about her book ‘Out of Your Comfort Zone: Breaking Boundaries for a Life Beyond Limits’ - published in 2019, and I really wanted to dive into the psychology behind living in a comfort zone.

The book offers a guide to incrementally break out of your comfort zone and confronting and transforming fear… Dr. Em provides the innovative Zone Test to measure your comfort zone before and after working through the book, tools such as the intuition indicator and RACE technique, and the thought-provoking “life discovery model” designed to support you in your new adventures once you’ve conquered your fears and let go of limitations. Offering practices to start the journey toward exciting positive change, she presents resilience-builder challenges, anxiety-buster techniques, practices for indestructible thinking, and “baby steps” to build confidence. She explores why we feel fear and how fear works in the brain, anxiety-reducing foods, and how they work nutritionally, as well as the key psychological markers of a fearless “zone zero” personality.

Whether you experience irrational fear, have a phobia that plagues you, look back on a lifetime of anxiety and limitations, or suffer from nerves and a lack of confidence, this guide provides a full range of comprehensive resources and tools to help you fully transform your fears, discover your true ambitions, and achieve everything you can in life.

Over the years, Dr. Mardlin has compiled her life’s research to help more people achieve what others have deemed impossible. These unique holistic approaches and tools are compressed into her books, ‘B.A.T.S.H.I.T 'Not So Crazy': Axing Anxiety in 7 Steps: Your Powerful Guide’, and ‘Mind Body Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2: A positive, powerful and proven solution to stop diabetes once and for all.’
