41. Feeling like you've 'gone backwards'? Listen to this

Have you ever had a difficult day, fallen back into an old pattern or felt your anxiety return and immediately thought, “Oh God, I’m going backwards”?

In this episode of Inside Job, we’re talking about why experiencing an old feeling or behaviour doesn’t mean you’ve lost all the progress you’ve made.

In this episode, I explore:

  •  Why setbacks can feel so frightening
  •  The difference between struggling again and being back at square one
  •  Why relapse and “recycling” can be a normal part of the change process
  •  The quieter ways your progress may be showing up
  •  How to find evidence that you haven’t undone all your work
  •  Why one return to an old pattern doesn’t erase everything you’ve learned
  •  How to respond with curiosity and self-compassion rather than shame
  •  What to do when it genuinely feels as though you’re slipping backwards
