Habit Change with Slee Parrish

We’re joined by another fantastic guest today - Consultant Nurse, Mindfulness Teacher and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, Slee Parish!Slee heads up True Thoughts therapy and alongside her incredible NHS 40+ year career as a Consultant Nurse, she’s also a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist (and Denise’s supervisor during her training!) and a Mindfulness teacher. Slee focuses on problematic thoughts and how they can be reframed to help achieve your health goals. Not only this, she also joined forces with Alex James (also a CBH & mindfulness teacher) to create nhsinmind.co.uk - a hugely successful initiative during COVID to help front-line staff with their mental health during the COVID-19 crisis.You can find Slee at https://www.truethoughts.co.uk/SUPPORT JOYFUL BALANCE PODCAST: Feel free to share your support with us, by donating a cup of coffeeWe’re here today talking to Slee all about one of our favourite subjects: how to change habits for long term health!What does Slee normally do to help a client change their habitsNeeding to become aware of a habit and the value of a habit diaryEating instead of quenching our thirst and addressing eating habitsDopamine and eating habitsWhy taking incremental steps to a bigger habit change habits works and how to do itHow to use mental rehearsal when you’re making a habit changeAdding in coping statements when you’re mentally rehearsing and going through habit changeSlee’s technique of freeze, breathe, examine and exchange when you’re about to engage in an unhealthy habitHow mindfulness helps habit change and how to stay in the present momentHow Slee integrates her practice in her NHS work and personal journey with habit changeWe hope you enjoy the episode, and if you do, please follow us on any/all of the channels.
