Managing Anxiety with a Mindset Coach – Paul Sheppard

You’re in for a treat with today’s episode featuring mindset coach, Paul Sheppard. Paul and I connected recently when I was interviewed on his podcast, Mindset Change. Realizing Paul has had his own journey with sensitivity and listening to a few of his podcast episodes, I knew I had to bring his energy and insights your way. Paul is trained in a long list of healing modalities such as hypnosis, NLP, IEMT – integral eye movement therapy, and more. I was especially intrigued by his admission that traditional therapy didn’t work.Given the challenges sensitive people face – the tendency for overwhelm, emotional responsiveness, and rumination – anxiety can be a constant companion. The more we can notice it and nurture a positive response, the more peaceful life can be.In our chat, we explore Paul’s journey from a sensitive child (aka “The Incredible Sulk”) to the proudly sensitive, grounded, and thriving man he is today. I learned about the drama triangle, the physiological sigh, and a series of strategies that really work to calm anxiety.Enjoy Paul’s calm and encouraging energy and do let us know what you take away. CHAPTERS00:04:47 Sensitivity for Paul: then00:06:46 The Incredible Sulk00:08:52 Sensitivity for Paul: now00:11:55 The Drama Triangle00:15:12 Bravery is what it takes00:17:30 Compassion starts with yourself00:20:41 Paul's journey through different healing modalities00:25:53 Easy anxiety management strategies 00:31:35 The power of mindfulness00:34:08 The power of meditation00:36:00 Moving past shame LINKSThe HSP Quiz"Mindset Change Podcast" - Am I Too Sensitive? - Interview with Highly Sensitive Person Coach - Clare KumarDr. Stephen Karpman - Drama TriangleHuberman LabMaster Your Breathing Connect with Paul:Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn   TiktokWebsite Highly sensitive executive coach and productivity catalyst, Clare Kumar, explores the intersection of productivity and inclusivity continually asking how can we invite the richest contribution from all.
