Episode 62 : Where Did That Come From? : The Thought Trap

Episode 62 : Where Did That Come From? : The Thought Trap

We all have ideas about who we are. "I'm just the way I am." "I've always been like this." "It's in my makeup." But where did those ideas come from in the first place? In this episode of The Thought Trap, I explore how the stories we hold about ourselves are often built from experiences, comments, interpretations and repeated thoughts that, over time, begin to feel like facts. 👉Join my mailing list 👉https://www.beccagardner.com/free-audio [https://www.beccagardner.com/free-audio] 👉 Find out about HOME, my 1:1 space https://www.beccagardner.com/new-page-2 [https://www.beccagardner.com/new-page-2] 👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/beccagardnercoach/ [https://www.instagram.com/beccagardnercoach/] 👉Ask me a Question becca@beccagardner.com [becca@beccagardner.com] 👉Episode 47 (Apple)://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-47-the-emotional-identity-trap-the-thought-trap/id1801723772?i=1000752964486 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-47-the-emotional-identity-trap-the-thought-trap/id1801723772?i=1000752964486] 👉Episode 47 (Spotify) https://open.spotify.com/episode/1HUdrmDPqLqgMs2Jrob7il?si=3db1da3408244555 [https://open.spotify.com/episode/1HUdrmDPqLqgMs2Jrob7il?si=3db1da3408244555] "The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life" Disclaimer: As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

Episode 61: The Coping Mechanism : The Thought Trap

In today episode, I want to talk about what was probably my biggest coping mechanism for many years: reassurance. But while reassurance happened to be mine, this episode isn't really about reassurance. It's about coping mechanisms in general. The things we reach for when we don't feel okay. The things that seem to help, at least for a while. The things that promise relief, comfort, certainty, or distraction. Because whether it's reassurance, Googling, scrolling, keeping busy, planning, checking, avoiding, eating, drinking, or endlessly trying to work something out, most of us have something we turn to when life feels uncomfortable. And understanding what was really happening beneath my coping mechanism changed everything for me and those that I work with. 👉Join my mailing list 👉https://www.beccagardner.com/free-audio [https://www.beccagardner.com/free-audio] 👉 Find out about HOME, my 1:1 space https://www.beccagardner.com/new-page-2 [https://www.beccagardner.com/new-page-2] 👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/beccagardnercoach/ [https://www.instagram.com/beccagardnercoach/] 👉Ask me a Question becca@beccagardner.com [becca@beccagardner.com] "The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life" Disclaimer: As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

Episode 59 : The Judgement Trap : Trap Talk

It's the monthly segment "Trap Talk".......where I get to speak to your questions. "I’ve realised I spend so much of my life worrying about what other people think of me. I replay conversations, second guess myself afterwards, and sometimes stop myself doing things because I’m so caught up in how I might come across. I honestly think it’s holding me back". In this episode, we explore the stories the mind creates about how we’re seen by others, the separate little “bubbles” we all live in as humans, and why so much of the feeling of being judged is actually being created through our own internal experience in the moment. 👉Ask me a Question becca@beccagardner.com [becca@beccagardner.com] 👉Mailing List https://www.beccagardner.com/ [https://www.beccagardner.com/] 👉 Find out about HOME, my 1:1 supported space https://www.beccagardner.com/new-page-2 [https://www.beccagardner.com/new-page-2] 👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/beccagardnercoach/ [https://www.instagram.com/beccagardnercoach/] "The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life" Disclaimer: As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

Episode 58: Always On : The Thought Trap

As a society we are always on, always available. Phones pinging. Messages arriving. Attention constantly being pulled somewhere else. In this episode of The Thought Trap, I explore the exhaustion that can come from never really switching off and the pace so many of us have quietly become used to living at. A conversation about busyness, constant availability, comparison, running on fumes, and what happens when we finally allow ourselves to pause. Because maybe we don’t need to keep filling every gap. 👉Join my mailing list 👉https://www.beccagardner.com/free-audio [https://www.beccagardner.com/free-audio] 👉 Find out about HOME, my 1:1 space https://www.beccagardner.com/new-page-2 [https://www.beccagardner.com/new-page-2] 👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/beccagardnercoach/ [https://www.instagram.com/beccagardnercoach/] 👉Ask me a Question becca@beccagardner.com [becca@beccagardner.com] "The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life" Disclaimer: As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.
