154 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 9 ratings

FREEDOM FROM THE OVERWHELM AND FRUSTRATION OF GUT SYMPTOMS

Trailblazing psychotherapy to calm the whole farm; mind, emotions and gut.


IBS, IBD, gut symptoms, gut disorders, SIBO, low FODMAP, elimination diets, chronic stress and anxiety…

Happy Inside attends to the psychological, emotional and behavioural aspects of gut disorders and chronic illness; old wounds, life misalignments, the fear, anxiety and stress around symptoms, the hypervigilence, the limitations, restrictions and impacts these are having on your life - all those conversations you’ve been waiting to have are happening right here. I hear you and you’re not alone. 

This is often the one aspect missing from your treatment interventions and resolution of symptoms, but guess what, you’ve found me and I’m right here for you. 

The reality is, stress and anxiety are biologically designed to affect your gut, so here you will find all the concepts, strategies and insights from 12 years of clinical experience as a gut focused psychotherapist so we can ensure this is not your continued story. 

You deserve a rich and fulfilled life where you are happy on the inside and out.

Gut focused and embodied psychotherapist, Michelle White.

Emotions: Your Internal Environment

March 24, 2019 23:57 - 14 minutes - 9.71 MB

We have the freedom and power of choice. We can be annoyed at what’s happening in the spaces around us, or we can let that go and focus on creating an internal space that promotes wellness. When our internal environment is content, it vastly changes how we see the external one, how we relate to it and how it affects us.
