Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined by Well-Being Alchemist Wendy-Anne Steer. In this episode Wendy shares how she felt compelled to explore alternative healing modalities after her own experience of suffering, and recovering fully from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Wendy talks about the increase in the incidence of female clients suffering the effects of both ADHD and menopause, and how during this phase unprocessed trauma can appear. We discuss the harmful effects of over-identification with personal labels and dismantle the notion of single solution healthcare, rather that we can be fluid, but consistent in our healing. Wendy also shares actionable healing tips for when we're feeling anxious and overwhelmed. So please join me as we look at life through a different lens.



KEY TAKEAWAYS
After being diagnosed with M.E, Wendy struggled with finding her identity and what this meant for who she was as a person.
She knew she didn’t have to be ill forever and this positivity is what aided her through her recovery. It also helped her discover healing methods in alternative health care including meditation.
Healthcare in the UK isn’t focused on helping you live a healthy and fulfilling life, it’s too focused on a single solution, and it doesn’t look at people's health holistically.
Grief alters anyone’s world view but it can also shape a person's evolution.
Identifying too much with a label can become unhelpful and hold you back.
The impact of chronic stress on the body outweighs almost any other lifestyle factors in your health, physically and mentally.
A therapist or practitioner isn’t there to solve your problems for you but to aid you in finding conclusions about yourself before you do the work.

BEST MOMENTS

"I have not stopped learning, I have not stopped evolving”

“NHS, it’s great at keeping you alive but it's not great at helping you live”

“Grief plays a massive part in your perception of life”

“I’m not depressed, I’m ill”

“If you’re exposing yourself to constant stress you are tearing your body to shreds” 

“I just adapt to who is in front of me”

“You need someone to facilitate your wellbeing”

This is a podcast series about discovery, understanding, revelation and stories. 
How we perceive the world is rooted in everything that has influenced us throughout our lives, emotionally and psychologically. We become the sum of our parts and each of us have our own unique view of the world. 'Vision' truly is an act of interpretation. 

In this podcast series through fascinating conversations, I set about trying to understand how we form our perceptions, view different perspectives and examine how perception has influenced, inspired or hindered the lives of each of my unique guests. 



ABOUT THE HOST
Caroline Partridge is a unique and creative individual. She is an actress, puppeteer, educator and artist with funny bones. She loves a story and is expert at conveying wit and wisdom with warmth, understanding and empathy.
