If you have ever pushed through a hard day without ever really healing from it, this episode is for you. Communication coach Jeremy de Tolly joins The Healing Mindset to unpack what real healing actually asks of us.
Jeremy shares a grounding practice for speaking anxiety and nervous system regulation, then explains why avoiding hard feelings keeps us stuck in survival mode, and what a genuine healing mindset looks like in everyday life.
About the Guest:
Jeremy de Tolly is a communication coach who works with people's nervous systems, helping them move through speaking anxiety and the fear of being seen and heard. He joins the show from just outside Cape Town, South Africa.
Key Takeaways:
- Whatever feeling you resist will keep resurfacing, so healing starts with feeling it fully.
- Survival mode hands blame to others; a healing mindset takes ownership of your own response.
- Distraction and scrolling work like avoidance, offering relief while keeping you stuck.
- A simple grounding practice, feet, breath, gentle pressure, can calm an anxious nervous system fast.
- Healing is not linear. Setbacks often show up right before the next growth curve.
- Lasting healing comes from consistent small choices, not one big breakthrough.
