Dr. Karen Cureton is a licensed naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, passionate neuroplasticity practitioner, and co-creator of the Wired for Wellness program. Through her own journey with complex chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and PTSD as well as from treating hundreds of patients with complex chronic illness, she realized the profound impact that stress physiology has on all aspects of health.  By rewiring her brain and rebalancing her nervous system, she was able to free herself from anxiety, depression, PTSD, many physical symptoms and stress patterns.  She has since helped many clients do the same with diverse health issues, traumas, and self-sabotaging patterns. Dr. Cureton is now a firm believer that everyone with a chronic mental, emotional, or physical health issue will benefit from neural retraining, and in many cases it is critical to healing.

Check out my Patreon tiers, any help is much appreciated :) www.patreon.com/user?u=88044382 OCD can sometimes make us question if there is a part of us that is against us. In my experience this is not true and whilst we have an inner critic that likes to focus on doubts and uncertainties, I don't think it's helpful to believe there is a part of us that is against us.  That being said, if we aren't careful our negative thoughts can hold us back. With that in mind today's episode is about recognising the inner critic so that we can call out unhelpful thoughts and focus our attention on mor helpful things.  Disclaimer: Robert James Pizey (of Robert James Coaching) is not a medical professional and is also not providing therapy or medical treatment.
