PODCAST MINI SERIES: Wake Up: Your Body Is Talking

With Barbara Thompson & Claire Chancellor
A transformative 4 x part series to explore the deep connection between your body, your emotions, your beliefs and your healing.

Ep 145: Stored emotions: What you don’t face lives in the body

What happens when we keep pushing our feelings down, pretending we’re “fine,” and distracting ourselves with being busy, scrolling or people pleasing?

In this powerful episode Claire and I unpack the real cost of emotional suppression and why so many of us learned to avoid what we feel often because of childhood wounds, trauma or fear of being “too much.”

We explore:
🌀 Why we suppress emotions and how it starts
🌀 Where key emotions live in the body: anger, grief, fear, resentment, shame
🌀 The silent damage of emotional bypassing and “good vibes only” culture
🌀 How avoidance becomes an autopilot response that blocks healing
🌀 Why feeling things as they arise is key to emotional freedom
🌀 Claire’s insights on energetic stagnation and the health consequences of unprocessed emotion

This episode is an invitation to turn toward your emotions gently, safely and with intention. Emotional honesty IS medicine.

The Therapist in Therapy: A Conversation with Jamie Maserow

I sit down with Jamie Maserow, author of The Therapist in Therapy to explore the deeply human, often humorous and surprisingly relatable journey of being both a therapist and a client.

Jamie shares what it was like to spend two and a half years in therapy with Moshe Lang - an 85 year old legend in Australian psychotherapy and how their unique dynamic helped her reframe challenges into opportunities for growth. We dive into what it’s like to sit on both sides of the couch, bust some common myths about therapy and reflect on the role of vulnerability, humour and storytelling in healing.

Whether you’re a therapist, a client, or simply someone navigating life’s curveballs, this episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t always look pretty but it’s always worth it.

This is a story of hope, healing and the incredible strength we gain when we truly allow ourselves to be seen.
