This episode is led by Kasia Makuch-Cole, a psychotherapist based in London. Kasia dives into the concept of authenticity and helps listeners explore the question: "What is my authentic self?"
The episode contains a guided meditation to help listeners connect with their bodies and identify their true feelings. Kasia acknowledges that true feelings can reside in a murky zone of insecurity or discomfort. Listeners are encouraged to find a word or image that resonates with their current emotional state, without judgment.
Kasia then guides listeners through a visualization exercise where they imagine themselves lying in the sunshine and basking in the warmth. This exercise encourages self-compassion and acceptance. The episode ends with a mantra: "Even though I don't feel perfectly fine, I'm alive and I'm breathing... I am open to the possibility of accepting myself, being gentle with myself, being kind to myself."
This podcast is ideal for anyone seeking to connect with their authentic self and cultivate self-acceptance.
