\nMentally fit with Shona Vertue

\nChloe Brotheridge: Hello and welcome to the ‘Calmer
\nYou’ podcast. This is your host Chloe Brotheridge. I am a coach, a
\nhypnotherapist and I'm the author of the ‘Anxiety Solution’ and ‘Brave New Girl’.
\nThank you so much for listening today. I have an amazing guest this week Shona Vertue.
\nShona is known for being a fitness instructor and yoga teacher. But for some
\nreason, this conversation isn't actually that much about fitness. We get into
\nsuch a varied number of topics. She has had her career so far in the fitness
\nindustry, but she is now studying psychology and so this is a real passion of
\nhers.
\n
\n
\n
\nSo, we get into topics like her experience of therapy, why it's totally
\nokay to have therapy and we talk about things like how to find a therapist. We
\ntalk about something called ‘Attachment Theory’ and you might have heard this
\nbefore. Some of us might be anxiously attached for example and it has to do
\nwith things that happened in our childhood. We really get into why there's
\nnothing to be ashamed about if you're somebody that is perhaps needy or
\ncodependent in relationships because it's not your fault and it can often go
\nback to these things in childhood. So, we chat about that.
\n
\n
\n
\nWe get into the pressures and boundaries of social media and I also ask her my favorite question to ask people which is. How are you really? I love Shona’s answer this, she's really honest and open and talks about something that I think a lot of us can relate to particularly at this time of year. So, I think gonna love this episode. I felt like I was chatting to an old friend where I met show know even though we just met ten minutes before.
