EMMY BRUNNER: Relationships, Eating Disorders & Healing Past Trauma

Today I am joined by Psychotherapist, Hypnotherapist, Personal Empowerment and Transformation Coach, CEO, Author and Speaker, Emmy Brunner. Despite this formidable list of accomplishments and a successful career spanning over 20 years, Emmy entered her twenties decade in a state of crisis. Her early twenties were spent trying to navigate the complexities of adulthood; attempting to get her foot in the door of what was at the time a very white-male centric profession, Emmy was also battling with an eating disorder, anxiety and self-harm behaviours. These coping mechanisms were a means to an end, and she now realises that her twenties were essentially a path to finding ‘rock bottom’ before discovering the fork in the road to take her to where she needed to be;  a state of acceptance and compassion for herself. Throughout the decade she suffered through several toxic and abusive relationships including getting married to the wrong person and several other personal battles she  fought to overcome.Half way through her twenties in 2005 Emmy also founded The Recover Clinic, which has gone on to become Europe's leading outpatient service, treating sufferers of trauma, depression, body dysmorphia, anxiety, eating disorders and addiction. Her dedication to helping others overcome tenuous battles helped Emmy in her own self-discovery and she is an advocate of living a life fuelled by compassion and happiness instead of fear. Her first book released earlier this year, 'Find Your True Voice', has helped many to identify, and overcome unresolved trauma negatively impacting their mental health.Our favourite Millennial Minesweeper Quote this week is; Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.- Truman Capote*TRIGGER WARNING* - This episode contains references to and examples of eating disorders and abusive relationships.  Hosted on Acast.
