There is so many issues we must deal with, from loneliness during a global pandemic, to addictive behaviours, codependency, worrying about the future and dealing with negative emotions—the list seems endless. Thankfully, we can face whatever life throws our way, as I discuss in this podcast with therapist Amanda White. It is possible to unlearn addiction, to get to the root of negative behaviors like eating disorders and codependency, to stop the worry cycle, to face and deal with our emotions and to heal our minds and lives. We don’t have to stay “stuck” in a bad place; we don’t have to be defined by what happens to us! Amanda also shares some great tips on how to deal with guilt and shame, the difference between the two, and how to deal with loneliness.
