  • #99 The body keeps score even when experiencing secondary gain.
    Oct 7 2024

    Send me a text message, if you have enjoyed this weeks episode, I would love to hear from you!

    Hey Hey!

    In this week's episode of Just For Today, I, Steph Grainger, therapeutic mentor, delve into the profound connection between our bodies and the unconscious mind.

    Join me as I explore the concept of secondary gain—where the unconscious mind finds more to gain from not healing than from healing. I discuss how the body holds onto tension and pain, both emotional and physical, and how this manifests in our daily lives. Discover how the body keeps score, always winning, and what this means for your personal healing journey.

    Through insightful conversations that I have had in the last 14 years, I have uncovered the hidden reasons behind why some pain feels more manageable than the uncertainty of change. This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to understand what your body might be holding onto and how to begin the process of letting go.

    In this episode I mention my friend and core and pelvic floor specialist, Emma Riedo. More info on Emma can be found HERE .

  • #98 The power of listening and not rushing in to find solutions.
    Sep 30 2024

    Send me a text message, if you have enjoyed this weeks episode, I would love to hear from you!

    Hey Hey!

    In this week's episode of Just For Today, I, Steph Grainger, therapeutic mentor, discuss the delicate balance between wanting to help and allowing others to find their own solutions.

    I delve into the common mistake of jumping in too quickly to solve problems for our loved ones, which can inadvertently lead to them feeling more helpless. I share insights on the power of holding space and the importance of letting others sit with their emotions rather than rushing to offer advice.

    Drawing from a recent experience in a women's circle, I illustrate how less can indeed be more when it comes to emotional support.

    Join me as we explore the art of truly listening and validating others, and how this approach can foster deeper connections and personal growth.

  • #97 Intimacy and the Inner Child
    Sep 23 2024

    Send me a text message, if you have enjoyed this weeks episode, I would love to hear from you!

    Hey Hey!

    In this week's episode of Just For Today, I, Steph Grainger, therapeutic mentor, delve into the nuanced and often uncomfortable subject of intimacy.

    We explore the many forms intimacy can take—beyond just sex, encompassing touch, hugs, kisses, and holding hands. I discuss how early experiences of rejection in these areas can shape our beliefs and behaviours around intimacy for a lifetime. Drawing parallels to the way we download apps on our phones, I explain how we unconsciously absorb lessons from those around us during our formative years, and how these "downloads" can sometimes be unhelpful.

    Join me as I unpack the complexities of intimacy, offering insights into how we can understand and navigate our own experiences and beliefs.
