EP11: LGBTQ+ Women's Anxiety Recovery & Emotional Therapy: An Interview

Robin and Leanne share why it’s better late than never to come out and live the life you are meant to live with no blame, guilt or shame. Leanne also gives insight to how our brains process emotions and anxiety, and how we have the power to change our lives! 

In this episode, you will learn…

• What an neuro linguistic programming (NLP) practitioner does
• Change requires willingness and the right attitude for change.
• Understanding anxiety and 2 pathways to anxiety: cortex-based, thoughts vs. amygdala-based, reactions
• Strong emotional experiences become your body’s emotional history, which then condition how you feel and react to situations.
• Stop listening to the stories in your head—we recall stories based on perspective, not reality.
• How Leanne works with clients to change their language and programming
• Worry is nothing more than predicting chaos.
• Remembering we have limited years, don’t waste them living unauthentically.
• Advice for how to tell your significant other about your sexuality
• Fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real.
• A label is nothing more than an explanation for society—be who you’re meant to be
• The power of working through negative self beliefs
