Umbrella Therapy

A new wee body scan episode as I have seen an increase of downloads for the last one and wanted to make a new one with a wee bit less blethering.

A wee said to be 10min ended up being 28min Guided Body Scan. An intentional space to feel and connect. In my work as a therapist, alongside being a human in a wild world, I'm seeing a swirling angst and deep need to slow down and gently connect, but how? Sometimes having a wee companion to journey us through that connection can be so helpful. That knowing helped inspire me to dust off thee old yoga nidra/mindfulness body scan practice... if you have a wee listen I hope you take something from the process.PS "out of your mind and in to your body" quoted from Savannah Sachdev

Potentially sensitive topics are explored in this episode. If you are feeling tender around the themes of eating disorders, your relationship with food, self worth and more, I would suggest giving this episode a wee skip.
