12. Burnout, Trauma Responses, Valuing Yourself, Dating, Pleasure and Women Asking For What They Want with Annalie Howling

*Trigger warning - Sexual Assault and Trauma* Hannah is joined by speaker, trauma specialist, and high performance coach Annalie, she helps people break down limiting beliefs in order to unlock a more fulfilling life. Annalie explains how she suffered from a soul destroying burn out in her male dominated career and then entered the world of coaching. Hannah asks Annalie to explain what happens when we experience trauma and how we can process trauma out of our bodies. Annalie highlights using the extremely effective eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) technique, in which she is highly trained. The conversation moves on to the importance of learning to love who you are underneath it all, authenticity, and finding peace within - even though at times being told to love yourself can be incredibly frustrating. The conversation then moves on to dating, red flags in dating and how Annalie personally approaches the dating scene. Hannah and Annalie discuss the difference between sex and pleasure, and how women rarely ask for what they actually want, but how that is key to sustaining pleasure in a relationship. It's an incredible, honest, fun and crucial conversation. Annalie offers masterclasses, guides, visualisations and meditations which are linked below and are great - so, check them out!
