Meet Dr. Ellie
Today on the Calmer You podcast, I'm talking to Dr. Ellie Cannon. We met on a panel we did together and I loved everything that she was sharing. She's not only a GP, she's also an author. Her latest book is all about work, health and the effects that our jobs can have on our mental health. It's called, Is Your Job Making you Ill?
She's also columnist for The Mail on Sunday. I love her Twitter feed and approach. She's very no-nonsense and calls all sorts of things out. I'm not a doctor so I love taking this opportunity to speak with a GP. There are lots of things that I really wanted to get her perspective on.

Navigating Relationships with High Functioning Anxiety
17:20Let’s face it; relationships bring up all our stuff, and there is no one more annoying in the whole world than the person you love the most.Navigating relationships with high–functioning anxiety is hard, not only for us, but for our partner too!Stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma can hijack our emotions, while feeling anxious and on edge can mean we’re more likely to get triggered.If you’re busy and tired (and let’s be honest, who isn’t) it’s easy to lose your temper, experience dips in your mood and get into arguments.I’ve been with my partner for 13 years, and the first 3 years were hell because of my anxiety. We’ve seen FIVE different relationship therapists, and I’ve read countless books. These days, we’re in a MUCH better place, and we rarely argue (even with a 6-month-old in tow).In this podcast, I’m sharing my top tips for navigating relationships with high-functioning anxiety.Download the Hypnotherapy Pack here www.calmer-you.com/hypnotherapy-packEp 213 6 Surprising Benefits of Hypnotherapy
