Why is it so hard to be kind to yourself? If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and struggled with
self-worth, you aren't alone. In this 10-minute session, we stop the cycle of
self-judgment and the
inner-child critic to find your way back to radical
self-love.
Join Martin—a
clinical hypnotherapist and
former paramedic—as he shares a deeply personal journey from self-dislike to
mindful awareness. This episode is designed for those in high-pressure roles who feel self-love is a luxury; in reality, it is the foundation of your
mental health resilience. Using
coherent breathing and
somatic soothing, we signal the
nervous system that it is safe to be seen, heard, and loved.
