Welcome to Discover Solutions, Feel Better Podcast. I’m your host Dr. Theresa Lewis. I’m a psychologist who’s passionate about helping people feel better and I have so much to share with you to help you with your health and wellness goals.

Today in Episode 4 my producer Natalie and I discuss Relaxation as a Foundation of Psychological Heath and Wellness. We face stressors throughout the day and we rise to the occasion to manage the demands placed upon us. The question is: do we know how to come back from stress - how to come home  to our true nature? 

Stress and anxiety can be eased with a good understanding of how to relax both your mind and your body. Good levels of relaxation can be achieved through resting, vacationing, reading, etc. and those things are great. My hope for today is that I can also share with you some deeper, restorative relaxation techniques, so you can reap the full benefits of relaxation. 

Meditation has so many benefits, including relaxation of the mind. Another effective technique is a guided muscle relaxation. I’ll gladly share a free downloadable version here so you can give it a try. If you would like support to incorporate meditation and relaxation in your life, reach out to me.
Thanks for tuning in!
Remember - Be well, be you, and breathe :)​

Welcome to Discover Solutions, Feel Better Episode 3. I’m your host Dr. Theresa Lewis. I’m a psychologist who’s passionate about helping people feel better and I have so much to share that will help you with your health and wellness goals.

Last week we talked about Awareness being the first pillar of psychological health and wellness so please feel free to go back and listen to Episode 2 first if you’d like a little more context for my topic today.
​
In this episode I discuss Love as our next pillar of psychological health and wellness. With this new awareness of our thoughts and feelings will come some discomfort. It may be natural to seek ways to avoid that discomfort. Bringing in love for yourself, however, is the only way to ease and overcome those painful feelings. Listen in to learn more.​

I'll be back soon with more inspiration to help you Discover Solutions and Feel Better. Until then, be well, be you and breathe.

Welcome to Discover Solutions, Feel Better Episode 2. I’m your host Dr. Theresa Lewis. I’m a psychologist who’s passionate about helping people feel better and I have so much to share with you to help you with your health and wellness goals.

In this episode I discuss Awareness and how to channel your attention so that you can enjoy the benefits of working “in flow” and having truly rich relationships. Developing your awareness will enable you to be a better listener and to differentiate between effective and detrimental multitasking.
I also talk about our human tendency toward negativity bias. While we have this bias, we don't have to go with it. We can use our awareness to see more clearly.
I'll be back soon with more guidance for you, focused on the second foundation - Love.
Until then, be well, be you, and breathe

In this episode I introduce my Six Foundations of Psychological Health and Wellness. Heading into the holidays is the perfect time to take stock in ourselves. I touch on each foundation today because a lot of our work moving forward will be supported by these concepts and I want to lay down a solid understanding. These Six Foundations are: Awareness, Love, Food, Movement, Relaxation and Sleep. Thank you for joining us!

I'll be back soon with more guidance for you, focused on the first Foundation - Awareness.
