In today’s episode, Trisha and I answer three questions.
The first is about a newer therapy called TMS (often referred to as Exomind) and whether something like this could help with food cravings — especially that feeling of being completely out of control at night. After trying all the usual strategies, this question really gets into whether it’s a deeper brain-based issue, and if something like this could “reset” things… or if it’s just an expensive quick fix.
The second question is about bulky calves — walking daily, staying active, doing strength training… and still feeling like your calves look bigger than you’d like.
The third question is about anxiety — and why it shows up even around things you enjoy. That feeling of self-consciousness, overthinking what you’re wearing, avoiding attention, and even holding back from wearing clothes you like. We unpack why this happens and how to start changing your relationship with it.
As always, Trisha McHale brings her grounded psychotherapist perspective — helping unpack what’s happening beneath these patterns and how to move from reacting to responding.
