The Head Trash + Healing Show with Alexia Leachman

Are your emotions out of control? We often hear people talk about terms like emotional mastery or emotional resilience and yet for some people these concepts can be pretty hard to fully comprehend. Mainly because until you've experienced something, you can't quite get your head around it. So, I'd like to help shed light on this by taking the opposite approach and instead taking a closer look at wh...

On today's podcast I am joined by Chris Milbank, the founder of Reflective Repatterning who has a slew of event coming up this year in the UK, so I wanted to get him on the show so that he can share with us: what you can learn on the event who the event is for why you should come what you'll get out of it and lots more! You can find out more about the event at the Solar Events website. And you can...

Are you coping with a miscarriage? If you have then I imagine that it wasn't a pleasant experience, and if it was recent then you might still be finding things quite hard. And that's not just the ladies. Men find this very hard too - their hopes and dreams are shattered in that moment and yet they don't get the sympathy that the women often do. If this is something that is close to your heart, the...

What are your stress triggers? If you're stressed, then I'm thinking that you have a ton of stress triggers in your life... you know those things that stress you out and set you off. But, do you know what they are? After all, if you don't know what they are it can make it very difficult to remove them. But, let me get one thing straight here.... what I’m not saying is change your life, everyone in...

Is love flowing in your life? You know what they say... "Love is all around you. It’s everywhere you go."   "Love lifts us up where we belong." "All you need is love!" So how does love feature in your life? Is love flowing abundantly? Or are there blocks? Maybe you find it hard to express love. Perhaps you make it hard for people to love you... maybe even preventing anyone from getting to close to...

Are you breathing properly? A while ago, I remember being really taken back when someone who I'd pretty much just met, told me that I wasn't breathing properly. Aside from the strangeness of the comment, I was surprised for 2 reasons How could they possibly tell - we'd only just met?! I didn't realise that breathing could be done BADLY... as far as I was concerned I was a successful breather.. I w...

I'm guessing that most of us started the year by setting ourselves some goals or intentions that are ultimately there to help us to get nearer to having a healthy body or a healthy mind. Is that you? As you crawl out of January, I'd be happy to bet that you probably find yourself in one of two camps you've already failed miserably at your new year resolutions, probably by week 2 of 2014 you've jus...

If I told you that laughing was good for your health and wellbeing, would you believe me? Over the years there has been countless research to back this up and a quick Google search leads me to this recent article in The Telegraph that states "A study at Oxford University in 2011 found that laughter increases our pain threshold. Researchers found that subjects who had watched comedy videos could wi...

Goal setting rocks... yes it does! At least, it does when it's done right. So I started 2014 with a podcast that some in the personal development industry might describe as controversial, but I think it's important for us to be aware of both side of the story when it comes to goals and goal setting. When done badly, your goals can backfire and it can really affect your confidence and self esteem....

Is it it hard for you to find motivation to exercise? Don't we all? I certainly do. But it's at this time of year that it's at the front of our minds. We've just come out of the holiday season and more than likely we've eaten far more that we should have done, and probably drank a little bit more than we should have done too. The result? A little extra body weight! So, as we start the year with fr...

What are your goals for 2014? Yes! It's that time of year when you can't swipe your tablet without stumbling on yet another blog post encouraging you to set your new year's resolutions for 2014. But what if I told you that goals suck? And... that they could seriously mess you up? Well they can! Goals can make us strive for things that can cost us dearly. And bad goals... well don't even get me sta...

Are you someone who is affected by the stress of Christmas and the festive season? As we hurtle towards the end of the year, some of us desperately needing a break, the festive season can often add to our stresses despite the celebrations and general jolliness. Now I don't want to put a downer on things, but instead I'd like to help you to navigate the seasonal stresses so that you can skip throug...

So, what do I mean by the psychology of illness? Well, in the time that I've spent doing the work I'm doing, I frequently come across cases with my clients whereby they tell me that certain physical conditions or illnesses they have seem to disappear after we've done some work together. I myself have experienced a big drop in the dis-ease in my body as a result of clearing my head trash. So I've a...

The new science of epigenetics marks a paradigm shift in our thinking in quite a profound way; that our thoughts, beliefs and emotions can affect how our genes are expressed in our body. I first came across epigenetics when I read Bruce Lipton's book, The Biology of Belief , which totally blew my mind. So, what does that mean exactly. Well, old thinking went a bit like this... your family had a hi...

Anger is a nightmare for many

Having a fear of public speaking is incredibly common. In fact, it's the number one fear EVER! But it doesn't have to be. In today's podcast, I am thrilled to have best-selling author of How to be brilliant at public speaking , Sarah Lloyd Hughes from Ginger Training & Coaching to help us to make sense of what is happening to us when we are crippled by a fear of public speaking. Here is a lovely v...

Your values are an intrinsic part of who you are and what makes you YOU. But with all comes bad... unfortunately they can also be one of the main sources of your head trash. If you listened to last week's podcast, you'll have heard me talk you through the Head Trash Cycle, which is my way of explaining where head trash comes from. Well, one of the main sources of head trash is your values. Now you...

The head trash cycle will help you to understand where head trash comes from. And if you have a better understanding as to where it comes from then you will have a much better chance of regaining control over it and showing it the door. The thing about head trash is that we're too often told as to WHY we have it.. it's our parents, our early life as kids, it's the way that teachers treated us at s...

Doesn't that sound a bit scary? Well, not really. We all have a bad side, but the thing is many of us do what we can to keep it suppressed. But the problem with this approach is  that you can't keep something like an inner monster hidden forever. Eventually it will come out. And when it does, we'll have very little control as to how its released. Whereas if we unleash it ourselves, we're more like...

I really wanted to better understand the science bhind out emotions so I was thrilled to get the opportunity to speak with neuroscientist, Dr Lynda Shaw.

Fears and phobias hold us back massively..

Neutrality is not a term that is frequently used. In fact I had never really heard it before I learned Reflective Repatterning with Chris Milbank. But the more I do head trash clearance work, the more I realise its importance, but especially how for others to ACTUALLY understand it. I have to be honest, it’s taken me a while to get my head fully round it but I think I’ve cracked it. So, not one fo...

Did you know that the number one fear is the fear of public speaking? Isn't that completely bonkers?!  Especally as you can't die from it. So, what's going on here exactly? And how can we get rid of it? Well, as you'll know if youve been following our podcasts, to be able to get rid of something you need to know what needs removing and that why I want to unpick it for you. Once you have that aware...

When I had a quick peek at my podcast stats, I noticed that my previous episode on stress was near the top of the charts. This tells me that stress is something that is clearly dear to your hearts. So I thought I'd seek out a stress expert to get on the show. But, I never for one minute thought I'd get the Number 1 Stress expert in the US though! But, sure enough, I did. When I got in touch with L...
