Hi Friend,
While things are currently chaos here right now as my youngest son is moving out tomorrow, thank goodness I have still managed to get a new podcast out to you in the midst of it all.
There are things everywhere, lots of his mates in and out making plans and even more mess but somehow I am sure it will all come together and I will begin my new life being home alone.
My plans at the moment are to have a major clear out and declutter of things I no longer need or want, get things cleaned up and maybe, set up an art and music room for myself?
Of course, much of that will depend on how my physical energy is, what my symptoms are doing and how much mental bandwidth I actually have and as you well know Friend, that's constantly changing!
New Podcast
Irrational thoughts, otherwise known in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy circles as Cognitive Distortions, are something that everyone experiences.
The problem with these irrational thoughts is that they can and do influence our behaviour, emotions, beliefs and relationships and they are key contributors to high levels of stress.
They are also the biggest drivers of things like guilt, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, hopelessness and relationship issues.
While there are many known and common cognitive distortions that have been identified, when it comes to chronic illness, there are five that are the most globally experienced and the most damaging.
In this episode of the Emotional Autoimmunity podcast, I take you through The top 5 Chronic Illness irrational thoughts, how we use them and more importantly, what you can do to challenge and overcome them.
Some of them may even surprise you.

And if you've been struggling with any of these irrational thoughts, it's a good time to book your FREE Discovery Session with me now.
I only have 5 more working weeks for 2023 and my prices will increase from January 2024 so now is a very good time to start working with me!
