Therapist Sonica Mushi on Approval Seeking, Validation and Childhood Patterns

⁣I promised a bonus episode this week, so here it is! This was a special one as I got to sit around my kitchen table, coffee in hand with my wonderful guest by my side, such a treat! So much so I may have forgotten we were recording at times!⠀

Today’s guest is Sonica Mushi from Crossroads Counselling. We delve deep into many of "The Courage to Be" themes from approval seeking to external validation, understanding what’s healthy and what’s too much, We talk about bringing more of ourselves to each interaction, "going below the surface" and the difference it makes. How to recognise unhelpful patterns and replace them with healthier ways to cope, self sacrifice and knowing that we can choose where to give without compromising our own needs.⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Let's just say Sonica's background is pretty extensive so we got to cover off quite a lot in this conversation! ⠀ ⠀

I'm back in June with Season Four, but for now, thank you all for listening.
