Why do we feel responsible for others' feelings?
<p>In this episode we explore why we often feel responsible for others' feelings, how boundaries influence our relationships, and discusses strategies for healthier communication and self-care, especially during times of change and grief.</p><br><p>We can find it hard to stick to our boundaries because we don’t want to upset other people. This can lead us to feeling that our needs don’t count and we can become frustrated, sad or even angry.</p><br><p>However, it can feel risky to change deeply ingrained habits - whether it’s saying no to family demands, setting limits on caring for others after grief, or navigating the complex dance of giving and receiving support. We don’t like to upset others. However we are responsible for our actions, but not how others respond to those actions. And this is important though difficult to remember when we are faced with the distress of others.</p><br><p>And generally it’s not an either/or choice, we can take care of our own feelings and also the feelings of others.</p><br><p>Key Topics</p><br><p>Why we feel responsible for others' feelings</p><p>The importance of boundaries in relationships</p><p>Communication strategies for boundary setting</p><p>Impact of grief and life changes on boundaries</p><p>Self-care and emotional regulation</p><p>Find us at: www.adriennekirk.uk or www.presenceofmind.life </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Why do we get in our own way?
<p>In this episode we welcome a guest, Lou Collins, who shares her insights on how habits and patterns influence our behaviour. Lou helps women in business stop being their own biggest obstacle. With over 15 years of experience in behaviour change, including in substance use, she now works with the women who've done all the courses, know all the strategies, and are still stuck because the problem was never the strategy. It was the habits and patterns underneath it.</p><p> </p><p>Together we explore the science behind habits, the importance of awareness, and practical strategies for rewiring the brain to overcome self-sabotage and achieve personal growth.</p><br><p>Takeaways</p><p>Awareness of habits is the first step to change.</p><p>Not all patterns are the same; strategies must be personalised.</p><p>Reward systems influence habit formation and change.</p><p>Breaking habits involves rewiring neural pathways.</p><p>Support and accountability are crucial for lasting change</p><br><p>Lou Collins can be contacted here: </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/theloucollins" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/theloucollins</a></p><p><a href="https://linktr.ee/loucollinscoaching" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/loucollinscoaching</a></p><p>Find us at: www.adriennekirk.uk or www.presenceofmind.life </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Why do we find it hard to be honest?
<p>In this episode, we delve into the complex reasons behind our reluctance to tell the truth, from small everyday lies to avoiding pivotal conversations about mortality. We explore how avoidance impacts ourselves and others, the role of shame in our avoidance, and practical ways we can foster honesty in our relationships. We use personal examples to illustrate the impact of not being honest can have.</p><br><p>We discuss how although honesty can be uncomfortable, often the relief and authenticity outweighs the temporary discomfort. We explore the idea that conversations we fear may be difficult can end up being the most transformative.</p><br><p>Key Topics Covered:</p><p>The emotional reactions and fears that lead to untruths and avoidance</p><p>Examples from personal experiences: missed events, hiding purchases, and the fear of letting others down</p><p>The deep connection between avoidance and shame, and how stories we tell ourselves reinforce this</p><p>The role of familiarity and the unknown in avoiding difficult conversations</p><p>The impact of avoiding honesty on mental health and human connection</p><p>Strategies for practicing honest communication and overcoming fear</p><p>The importance of having difficult conversations about mortality and practical preparations</p><p>How misaligned perceptions of honesty and avoidance affect our relationships with family, friends, and clients in professional settings</p><p>Find us at: www.adriennekirk.uk or www.presenceofmind.life </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
