Just a Minute with Dr Kumari

We are allowed to have things easy and to have ease in our lives! Our life experiences and messages from growing up might give us ideas against this. Let's take a moment to notice what comes up when we sit with the idea of ease. 

In this episode I talk about what PTSD and Complex PTSD are, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-5) and ICD-11. 

What is Overthinking? I talk about worry and rumination and the functions that they have. I talk about the socialisation of types of thinking and some alternatives to overthinking as well as some of the difficulties. I briefly talk about mindfulness (and why it might not be the solution for everything!) as well as what I think the core issue is that drives overthinking. 

In this episode, I talk about some deep stuff! Valentine's Day brings up all sorts of feelings for people (with good reason!). I talk about Parts of the Self and Deep Self Care. 

In this episode, I'm starting to talk about deep self care and have some ideas of exercises and techniques for this. I'm referring to a list I made: https://drkumari.ck.page/selfcare with these exercises. Sign up to receive them into your inbox. 
 
Thanks heaps for listening and wishing you the best in this journey of healing!

In this podcast we do a healing visualisation, imagining light entering through the crown of our heads. I realised I didn't walk you through the Crown Pull by Donna Eden that I had intended to! I'll do that next!
