The Well Minded Podcast with Master Therapist Lynn Matti

I help people understand themselves better, make sense of their feelings, and learn from resentments and disappointments by using a heart-centered and holistic approach. We all want to live an authentic and fulfilling life…sometimes we just need a little help.
Two of our most basic needs are to be connected and to feel loved. Without these, we feel a lack of purpose and isolated. When we feel alone, disconnected and insecure, we’re filled with negative thoughts and feelings of guilt and shame. Left unattended and unvalidated, these feelings take root, growing into resentments and increasingly unhealthy behaviors. If we lack positive feelings about ourselves it’s difficult to trust, communicate and feel safe in the world.
I offer you a space to be listened to without judgment. A place of safety. And, when you are ready, a new perspective backed by a toolbox full of good techniques to uniquely help you reconnect with your inner world and improve your relationships. We tune into and check out your long held beliefs. We quiet those unkind unconscious messages and turn up your self confidence by identifying and supporting your strengths.

20. Emotional Triggers: What the #&*k Are They and How Can I Beat Them? Jul 20, 2018

Show notes

Without consciously acknowledging the need that is triggering the emotional reaction, we become enslaved to the need. On the other hand, if we honestly declare our needs—that we had expected people to treat us in a particular way and had hoped events would unfold as we had planned—then we can begin to see life more objectively. From this perspective, we are freer to choose our reactions.

19. Women, Midlife and Addiction: Are You Ready to Break Up with Your Bottle of Wine? Jul 13, 2018

Show notes

In today’s society, we want immediate relief from discomfort, be it physical or emotional. The easiest, and most dangerous response for these women is to begin drinking just a little earlier in the day or take one or two of those pain killers in the medicine cabinet…or both. Such behavior is easily justified. “All my friends drink during the day” or, “It IS a legal prescription, so what is the harm?” It is a very slippery slope and by the time awareness dawns, these individuals are frequently fully addicted.

18. Chronic Stress: Is This Our New Normal? Why Are We So Anxious, Depressed and Overwhelmed? Jul 06, 2018

Show notes

17. Overcoming the Feelings of “Not Good Enough”. Jun 29, 2018

Show notes

People with perfectionism hold themselves to impossibly high standards. They think what they do is never good enough. Some people mistakenly believe that perfectionism is a healthy motivator, but that’s not the case. Perfectionism can make you feel unhappy with your life. It can lead to depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and self-harm. Eventually, it can also lead you to stop trying to succeed. Even mild cases can interfere with your quality of life, affecting your personal relationships, education, or work. A desire to achieve is healthy. But an irrational desire to always be perfect can cause problems. In this episode you will learn:

Striving for excellence vs Perfectionism.
How to identify your brand of perfectionism.
Where does this desire loop come from?
Super fun coping skills for becoming less perfect!

16. Forgive Yourself for Being Imperfect. Jun 22, 2018

Show notes

Perfectionism is a tricky little beast, isn’t it? For some, it’s a form of motivation – pushing one towards their goals, accomplishing feats, and helping them to succeed. But, let’s be real. There’s a fine line to walk with perfectionism, and the majority of us (I presume) fall on the wrong side – the side that causes us to obsess over small details, beat ourselves up when we think we fall short, and expect way too much of others. Well, this past week it totally snuck up on me and almost derailed my motivation...take a listen and learn how I coped!

14. Fixing the Holes in Our Souls: Connection, Compassion, Calm and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES). Jun 15, 2018

Show notes

I chose today’s topic because of the emotions I have felt in the last week due to the intensity of the media coverage regarding the deaths of two high profile people. My heart aches for them both, along with the families now suffering the layers of pain associated with a loved one who has taken their own life. Many of us in the mental wellness healing field have been discussing how to best talk about this subject in an effort to help share this silent and scary trend which we have been observing in the last decade. For my part, I have decided to focus on talking about a subject which Oprah called “a game-changer, she stated "This story is so important to me and I believe to our culture that if I could dance on the tabletops right now to get people to pay attention to it, I would. It is definitively changed the way I see people in the world”. Although Oprah shined her huge heart-centered world spotlight this last March, Adverse Childhood Experiences or ACES, I have seen little written about it since.

11. An Interview with Veronica Valli, Author, Therapist and Coach. Conquering Fear, Finding Emotional Freedom and 18 Years of Continuous Sobriety. May 25, 2018

Show notes

My very first guest here on on The SoberSoul Recovery Podcast is Veronica Valli. Veronica has worked as a therapist and life coach specializing in addiction for over ten years; her experience includes working with young people in the criminal justice system, primary care adult treatment, outreach services and private practice. Veronica has also worked in local government, delivering local drug and alcohol strategies. As a recovered alcoholic and drug addict, she has personal experience of what it takes to recover from an addiction. Veronica struggled with alcoholism through most of her twenties. As a binge drinker, she was aware for some time that something was wrong but was unable to define what it was; a chance meeting led to her finally getting help and turning her life around. At the height of her addiction, Veronica was unable to go to work without the aid of a drink; her life and confidence were in tatters. She got sober in 2000 at the age of twenty-seven. She now uses this experience to help and inspire others, through her Soberful program, her private coaching and specialized treatments at veronicavalli.com. She fully believes that all alcoholics and addicts can recover if they have access to the right kind of help, and that they can then go on to live life to the full.
