## About This Episode

In this episode my guest David Heffernan, the UK’s #1 provider of Anxiety Solutions, takes us on a journey of discovery through his experiences and expertise around the fear of one’s own thoughts and of the unknown.

For many years people have been taught to clear their mind and try and clear all thoughts so they can find peace. It is, in his view, so important to be able to not only acknowledge your thoughts being present but genuinely being OK with them being there – both good and negative thoughts.

We explore why this is, and look at some helpful techniques.

**Takeaways**:

- Resistance to your thoughts will only make them come back at you louder.
- To fall in love with the not knowing.
- That learning to be ok with your thoughts will change your lives more than they could ever imagine

and so much more.

## About My Guest

Dave works with corporates and individuals to create awareness, end stigma and educate.

Described as a pioneer for Mental Health and Wellness, Dave has launched programs to support mental health in the workplace and to create positive, forward-thinking environments that employees enjoy working in.

Dave’s background story is one of a kind; born in Salford, Dave dealt with extraordinary life issues – death, grief, abuse, homelessness, violence; but this didn’t hold him back, in fact, it created the momentum and passion that Dave has today. Dave is an expert in mental health, from the raw, real-life issues that he has faced, and helped others face.

Dave is the guy next door – but with a fresh perspective. He understands the importance of mental health from both business and personal points of view. He’s not afraid to work through issues, make connections, break down barriers and find solutions.

Unlike other coaching solutions, he is there when YOU need him because he knows mental health is not a 9 to 5 issue. He is committed.
