Developing Healthy Coping Mechanisms: Part 3 – Debunking Stress Myths

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 00:30:00 +0000

Did you know that stress can be a factor in up to 75% of mental health issues, and is a contributing symptom to the six most common causes of death?

Many of us, particularly career-driven individuals, wear stress like a badge of honour. A stressful day at work is seen as a productive day, or maybe you feel like you’re motivated by stress.

Well this podcast episode is about to blow your mind on everything you think you know about stress!

As we continue our mini-series on identifying, creating and implementing healthy coping mechanisms, this episode takes a look at some of the common myths around stress, inspired by Andrew Bernstein’s 8 Deadly Myths About Stress.

We should be fighting stress, not celebrating it, and hopefully this podcast will help you reframe your understanding of it, and give you some of the tools to start managing stress better in your life.

Here are the highlights:

(01:13) Stress is NOT a mental health issue

(04:18) MYTH – stress comes from circumstance

(06:08) MYTH – stress is a motivator

(08:47) MYTH – some stress is good for you

(10:13) MYTH – without stress you would be bored

(12:11) MYTH – the best way to deal with stress is to exercise

(15:57) MYTH – stress is a choice

(18:02) MYTH – stress is inevitable

(20:39) MYTH – everyone is stressed

Developing Healthy Coping Mechanisms: Part 2 – Mindfulness & Meditation

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 00:30:00 +0000

How are your New Year’s resolutions going?

I predict that many of you have set big, huge goals which are now beginning to fail, and that’s because you’ve made them too big and too huge rather than focusing on the smaller, achievable targets.

Maybe your frustration at not hitting your goals is causing some additional stress. Maybe you have a busy life, a challenging or unfulfilling job, or any number of things feeding your anxiety on a daily basis.

Well it’s time to stop, take a step back, and breathe...

As we continue our mini-series on identifying, creating and implementing healthy coping mechanisms, this special episode I am going to take you through a meditative process, which you can use at home whenever you want. Simply find a comfortable, quiet place and listen back to this episode.

This exercise is a free practical exercise you can use when life is getting a bit overwhelming.

Here are the highlights:

(00:39) Managing what life throws at you

(02:31) Kim says relax

(04:03) A self-meditative exercise

(21:59) Learning to re-focus your coping mechanisms

As New Year’s Eve fast approaches, it’s a time many of us will be reflecting back on 2022. You will celebrate the things that went well, but you’ll also be dwelling on the things that didn’t go so well.

In this episode I’m here to tell you to draw a line under it and move on.

No more new year resolutions.

Listen to the episode to find out why I’m abandoning this end of year tradition, and why my own journey in the past year can inspire you to make positive changes by using the 8Wise model to improve your mental health and wellbeing as you head into 2023.

Managing the Festive Season - Part 4: Grief & Loss

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 00:30:00 +0000

We’re approaching the holiday season once again, and though ‘tis the season to be merry, many of us often feel this time of year brings other feelings such as stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression.

Throughout this special mini-series I am going to help you manage your festive season better, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah, something else or nothing at all.

In this episode we will be focussing on grief and loss. Whether you have lost someone around the holidays, you have just recently lost someone, or you have ever previously lost a loved one, the holidays can be triggering. We can sometimes be overwhelmed by emotion as we surround ourselves with motifs of togetherness, family and good will.

I am going to help you process and manage your grief at this time, because here’s the big secret: it never goes away, but that’s ok! It is completely ok to remember someone, to mourn them, and to be sad that they’re gone, but I want to help you turn that pain into a celebration of those you love and of the happy memories you have of them, so that your holidays are more manageable... dare I say even joyous again?!

Here are the highlights:

(02:02) Tradition can be a hurtful reminder of our losses

(06:31) The reality of grief

(09:00) Reach out, make plans, and be there for those who need it

(11:29) Don’t let the pain consume you

(15:16) There’s nothing wrong in crying

(17:10) Reach out if you’re struggling

(21:02) A time for self-reflection

Throughout this special mini-series I am going to help you manage your festive season better, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah, something else or nothing at all.

How Did I Get Like This?

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 00:30:00 +0000

One of the most common questions I get asked by my clients is ‘how did I get like this?’

That’s why, in this episode, I’m going to talk you through a timeline exercise I do with my private clients. By doing this, you will start to reflect in so much more detail on all of the significant moments in your life; some will be good, some will be negative, and some you may have buried deep in your subconscious, but this exercise will help to bring all of those memories back to the surface.

This is about understanding the things that made you who you are, and accepting that you are the sum of all of these parts, good and bad, and that’s awesome.

By understanding and owning your timeline, you will take control of your mental health and stop worrying about how you got like this. Remember, you are not broken, you are uniquely, perfectly you, and it’s time to stop excusing it and start celebrating!

Here are the highlights:

(01:54) Why are you the way you are?

(04:27) Mental health is like a gun

(08:45) It’s time to go deep and swim around your subconscious

(14:11) The negatives are easier than the positives

(18:36) We can change our mindset if it’s not working for us

(22:02) Understand how the past impacts the present

(24:22) Don’t underestimate the first decade

(28:45) You have the ability to overcome anything

Planning for Effective Change

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 00:30:00 +0000

In this episode of Live the 8 Wise Way we are talking about something that affects every single one of us – fear.

Spoiler alert: it won’t be easy, but if you take my advice and start working on your fears (or phobias) you can get it under control!

Here are the highlights:

(01:32) Identify the reason for change

(08:10) What’s blocking the change?

The Meaning of Life

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 00:30:00 +0000

What is the meaning of life?

It’s the age old question debated by philosophers, scientists and clergymen alike, and will continue to be debated until the end of time.

In this episode, I talk to you about what I believe the meaning of life is or, more precisely, what my meaning of life is. Because I think the answer to this question is fluid and personal to you. There is no one size fits all.

To demonstrate this I am going to read an excerpt from chapter two of my book, which you can purchase from any book retailer right now and get yourself on the path towards a happier, healthier life.

Here are the highlights:

(03:12) Merging philosophy with science

(06:38) What is the point of anything?

(10:54) What is the meaning of human life?

(16:02) The three major structures

(19:24) Imagine you’re a cruise ship

(25:05) Writing the formula to live your life in the way you want

Is It a Mid-Life Crisis?

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 00:30:00 +0000

In my job, as a psychotherapist, I speak to a lot of people who tell me they’re having the symptoms of a mid-life crisis. But here’s the thing: many of them are quite young.

In fact, there are so many twentysomethings now having a so-called ‘quarter-life crisis’ that it makes you wonder how many more crises we can fit in our lives!!

However, the actual science pointing to evidence of a mid-life or quarter-life crisis condition is slim. That doesn’t mean you are not still feeling a lack of purpose, a lack of motivation or any of the other signs, but maybe it’s not really a crisis at all – maybe, using the 8Wise method, we can find a way for you to deal with these feelings head on and get your mindset back on track!

In this episode we look at the signs of a mid-life crisis, the possible triggers, and how you can manage it to keep your mental health and wellbeing in check.

Here are the highlights:

(00:52) Do not struggle alone

(04:34) A transition of identity and self-confidence

(09:17) How long does a mid-life crisis last?

(15:12) The triggers of a mid-life crisis

(20:01) Question yourself

(23:29) I don’t believe in a mid-life crisis

(27:55) Are you living authentically?

It’s Okay to go Back to Basics

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 00:30:00 +0000

There’s nothing wrong in feeling burnt out, and there’s nothing wrong in feeling stressed or overwhelmed, but there will be something wrong if you don’t do anything about it!

In this episode I talk all about going right back to basics to keep your mental health and wellbeing in check.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference, so I’ll be telling you all about my own recent experiences and showing you how you can prevent the onset of total burnout by using the 8Wise methodology.

Dysfunctional Behaviours

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 00:30:00 +0000

Do you find yourself raiding the fridge after a bad day?

Perhaps you find solace in alcohol, the escape of TV or even hitting the gym several times a day?

These are all forms of dysfunctional behaviours. In fact, anything you do as a way of coping with stress that isn’t dealing head on with the stress is a dysfunctional behaviour.

For me it was eating, and for years I had a major problem with food. It got so bad I had to take drastic measures, but even then, once the eating stopped I found myself with all of this unmanaged stress and anxiety – what was I supposed to do?!

In this episode I help you identify your own dysfunctional behaviours and explain how these habits are made and broken, so that you can start to get your behaviour under control and live a happy, healthy life.

Here are the highlights:

(03:30) How are dysfunctional behaviours formed?

(04:53) My battle as a stress eater

(11:06) Obesity is NOT about laziness

(17:04) What do you use to cover up the pain?

(22:14) Embedding a functional behavioural cycle

(25:17) Anything can be dysfunctional

Grief & Bereavement

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 00:30:00 +0000

Loss affects us all in different ways, and it’s something we will all experience in our lives. This has been no more pertinent across the UK than now, as we come together to mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

However, bereavement is also a very personal experience and it can come from places you might not expect: the loss of a job and the ending of a relationship through to the loss of a loved one can all trigger grief.

As unique and as personal as it is, there are some shared characteristics and stages in the grieving process. In this episode I help you understand what they are and share some advice to help you navigate your own journey in whatever way works best for you.

This is all about ensuring that we grieve in a healthy and appropriate way, so that in the long term we can find the closure and comfort we need to continue living a healthy life.

If you are currently experiencing

Here are the highlights:

(01:46) Making support and advice accessible to all

(03:15) Grieving for someone you don’t know

(07:33) A self-defence mechanism

(13:21) Everyone grieves at their own pace

(17:46) Adapting to a new role

(22:29) Are you looking for support?

Are You Thinking Too Loud?

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 00:30:00 +0000

In the last episode we covered all the unpleasant emotions we’re usually so scared of, and looked how to understand and accept them as tools our body uses to help us navigate life.

In this episode we’re going to build on this, by looking at how these emotions create different cognitive thinking processes in our brains.

Don’t worry, I’m not about to go all super sciency on you! It’s really just about understanding what emotions we feel, how they trigger our thought processes, how they trigger our overall feelings and how that affects our body and behaviour.

By learning to take ownership of our feelings and gain better control over the behaviours those feelings can trigger, we can take better control of our lives and manage our mental health and wellbeing more effectively.

So let’s do this!

Here are the highlights:

(02:19) The internal dimension of the 8Wise model

(10:15) We live in a comparative world

(12:59) Common distortions linked to anxiety and depression

(21:17) Overcoming negative thought patterns

(25:37) Failing forward

(28:59) Start dialling the noise down

Understanding Unpleasant Emotions

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 00:30:00 +0000

Anger, disgust, sadness – they’re not just characters from Disney’s Inside Out. They’re real emotions, we’ve all experienced them, and it doesn’t feel great. Our physical responses to these emotions means we pigeonhole them as bad or negative, but actually all of our emotions serve an important purpose.

At a really basic evolutionary level, our emotions help us make the right decisions in order to survive, so it’s really important to understand why they make us feel the way we do.

In this episode I am going to explain the connection emotions, feelings and moods. I look at some of our most unpleasant emotions and break down the reason we have them, and why our bodies tend to react in pretty unpleasant ways to them.

Here are the highlights:

(02:46) We may not want unpleasant emotions, but we need them

(04:04) The difference between emotions, feelings and moods

(08:32) It's part of our survival system

(14:15) It's getting hot-headed in here

(18:54) Understanding Anger

(20:56) Frustration is no game

(22:55) Disgust is why you don’t eat rotten apples

(25:12) Regrets? I’ve got a few.

(27:18) You never need to struggle alone

What is Your Body Telling You?

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 00:30:00 +0000

It’s no secret that our mind and our body are deeply connected, and this is no more obvious than when we are stressed or experiencing issues with our mental health.

When our psychological or emotional wellness is being challenged, we often see an impact to our physical wellness, so in this episode we are going to take a closer look at what you body is telling you about your own wellbeing.

I talk you through an exercise which will help you identify the areas in your life where you are struggling the most, because once you identify the issue you can start to manage it AND prevent it from becoming a bigger, more unmanageable beast further down the line.

This podcast is all about helping you manage and prevent mental health issues so that you can live a healthy, happy life, and understanding the relationship between your emotional and physical wellness is absolutely key.

Here are the highlights:

(00:54) Commit to some self-reflection

(03:25) We are built for stress

(10:25) Physical reactions to emotional stress

(15:58) The strong connection between our physical and mental health

Triggering Transitions

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 00:30:00 +0000

It’s always said that art of acting is about reacting, but the same could be said for us in everyday life too. We spend most of our lives learning how to deal with whatever the universe throws at us, which is why in this episode I am going to cover what those big things are and how they may affect our mental health.

Transitions come in all shapes and sizes, from the almost unnoticeable transition of learning a new skill to bigger life events like buying a house or having children. Transitions can also be negative experiences, such as being evicted or losing a job, but whether good or bad, these transitions can often trigger mental health issues.

Having the tools and the mindset to deal with all of the transitions life throws our way, no matter how unexpected, will help you live the happy, healthy life you deserve, so let’s do it!

Here are the highlights:

(03:11) Let’s be honest, life is tough!

(06:17) Most of us struggle with change

(10:10) The four types of life transition we all experience

(14:20) Unanticipated transitions

(16:52) Non-event transitions

(19:31) Sleeper transitions

(23:07) Transitions come in good and bad forms

(25:42) How to manage and process change

Habits are always so easy to create but very difficult to break! I bet every single one of you has a habit you wish you could break, be it as small as nail-biting or something more significant which may be impacting your mantal health.

I am going to give you practical tips and advice so you can understand your triggers and get control of them before they impact you.

Mastering Money Madness

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 28 Jul 2022 00:30:00 +0000

Money is one of the biggest causes of stress in adults, and stress is the gateway to all sorts of mental health issues. So it’s a no-brainer that if you can feel comfortable and in control of your finances, you’re more likely to avoid spiralling into a mental health crisis.

In this episode we are going to take a close look at how finance can trigger depression, anxiety and, in extreme cases, even cause people to take their own lives.

Money has a stranglehold on many of us, but it doesn’t have to. I know, because I used to have severe money issues – credit cards, debt collectors, you name it.

Is Your Job Killing You?

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 00:30:00 +0000

We spend 800,000 hours of our life at work. That’s the equivalent of watching the entirety of Friends over 9,000 times. Now imagine if you don’t love Friends – you probably wouldn’t choose to sit through it even once, right?

So why is your job any different?!

In this episode I’m talking about occupational welfare, and why it’s never too early to start thinking about your mental health in the workplace.

So many of us get ourselves caught up in the results-driven, work hard play hard mindset that is synonymous with the corporate world. I was one of them! I’m going to tell you my story – use it as a health warning, because I want you to start really thinking about if your job is having a positive or negative affect on your mental health.

How to Grow a Healthy Social Network

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 00:30:00 +0000

Let’s be honest – one of the biggest causes of stress in our lives comes from our relationships with others.

That’s why in this episode of Live the 8Wise™ Way we are taking a deeper look at social networks and support systems we build for ourselves. Are yours the best for you? Do they offer you the support you need?

Often the reason we have dysfunctional, unhealthy or even toxic relationship is because one or both individuals have not understood what the needs of each person are. The relationship isn’t what it needs to be, and sometimes there shouldn’t be a relationship at all, and guess what – that's ok!

I am going to give you some tools and techniques to help you identify your social network and build an effective support system, so that you can start leveraging your network to live a healthier, happier life.

Here are the highlights:

(04:39) Are you neglecting your social wellness?

Is Your Environment Making You Sick?

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 00:30:00 +0000

In this episode of Live the 8Wise™ Way we start to look at the external dimension through environmental wellness.

So far we've explored the foundation dimension where healthy body means healthy mind. We've had the internal dimension, which is all about knowing who you are through your spiritual wellness and stimulating your brain through intellectual wellness.

Now we are venturing outside of ourselves and reflecting on how we interact with the world around us. Environmental wellness plays a huge role in that.

During this podcast I talk you through a reflective exercise, and we look at how changes to your external environment – your physical surroundings, your home, your furniture, and even the colours you wear – can all impact your mental health and wellbeing.

Here are the highlights:

(03:33) Exploring the external dimension

(06:34) Did you spend lockdown in a negative environment?

(09:42) Let’s make ourselves great again

(12:46) Simple, effective changes you can make right now

Break Free from Your Comfort Zone

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 00:30:00 +0000

In this episode of Live the 8Wise™ Way we continue to look at the internal dimension and explore the concept of intellectual wellness.

Intellectual wellness is making sure your brain is stimulated, to ensure you keep developing and growing as a person. It ensures we continue to learn and thrive, but at a really basic level it also ensures our survival as a species.

During this episode I am going to explore the different aspects of intellectual wellness. We explore how our comfort zone safeguards us from the unknown, but in doing so it limits us from exploring our potential. We also look at the different intelligence types, and how the modern education system is often too linear which can cause many of us to feel not good enough or not smart enough.

Ultimately I help you understand how you can manage your intellectual wellness so that you can prevent anxiety, stress, depression and other mental health issues.

Here are the highlights:

(03:48) Two core points to the meaning of life

(08:27) Physical wellness is about more than a gym membership

(11:01) We have to dig deep and face the fear

(15:31) Multiple intelligence types

(20:38) Intelligence is not one size fits all

(23:04) Keeping our brains healthy and stimulated

Who Am I and Why Does it Matter?

Kim Rutherford — Thu, 23 Jun 2022 00:30:00 +0000

In previous episodes we have covered emotional and physical wellness, as we explore the first dimension of the 8Wise™ model.

In this episode we are moving on to the next dimension – your internal dimension, and your inner world and your spiritual wellness.

Now this doesn’t necessarily mean anything religious or faith-based. In fact, I think we spend a lot of time externalising our spiritual wellness and look for something divine, when spiritual wellness is about self-reflection and connecting with yourself.

Who are you?

What do you want to do with your life?

Are you happy?

Here are the highlights:

(02:28) Spiritual wellness is all about me

(06:04) What are your values?

Well, I have had a long battle with mental health myself, and it’s actually the reason why I studied psychotherapy and developed the 8Wise™ program. Having studies criminology at University, I recognised the psychological signs when I was spiralling from stress to anxiety to depression, and then to agoraphobia.

When I was too scared to even get off my sofa, I knew something had to change, and so I created 8Wise™ and I used it for my own recovery.

It works. And if you follow the steps in this podcast, you can start to break down your own mental chaos and make it work for you too.

Welcome to Live the 8Wise™️ Way, a brand new podcast hosted by psychotherapist, therapeutic coach and author Kim Rutherford.

The aim of this podcast is to help you develop better mental health and wellbeing, so that you can have a healthier, happier mind and live the life you want.

I know the content in this podcast works because I used to battle my own mental health issues. Part of my recovery was realising I needed to implement practical tools and techniques that were going to work for me. After lots of research, what I found were these core elements to focus on. I used these to get myself back to where it needed to be, but I still use them today as a preventative tool to improve my wellbeing and keep my mental health in check.

Today, I use this method with my private clients and I’m going to share it with you in this podcast.

In each episode I’ll share the tools, the techniques and the method of the 8Wise™ Way
