Making friends with your inner critic and releasing trauma w/ Annalie Howling Ep63

Annalie Howling an elite performance coach, joins me today on the podcast. And what an episode it is! She shares how it’s taken a lifetime to get vulnerable and how she’s evolved since her life working in corporate. She gives us the science in understanding how our inner critic works & how we can befriend it. Annalie shares how she uses EMDR with her clients and how we can have a better understanding of the trauma in our lives.
