What The Bleep is Behaviour Change Anyway
Peppery conversations between Chartered Psychologist Serena Simmons and Clinical Hypnotherapist Sally Garozzo about what it really takes to make changes.
Living optimally as a human will inevitably require some modifications to our behaviour.
Maybe your doctor has told you that intermittent fasting will help your pre-diabetis?
Maybe your therapist has said it will be helpful for you to turn off all screen at 10pm?
Or maybe your partner has asked you to communicate with them more clearly?
That’s all well and good but HOW do you do that?
Lucky for you, behaviour change is a skill that we can learn and Serena and Sally are here to guide you through the ins and outs.
This podcast is for you if you’re a person wanting to change anything about your life, a ‘life athlete’ wanting to optimise your life, or a healthcare professional working with people who’s lives depend on making changes.

S2/E1 Blocks and Barriers to Change
In this episode, Sally and Serena discuss blocks and barriers to change. They start by catching up and sharing their experiences with making changes, including during holidays. They explore the concept of resistance to change and the importance of understanding one's readiness for change. They also discuss the costs and benefits of making a change and staying the same. The conversation delves into the role of identity and the payoff of staying in familiar patterns. They conclude by reflecting on navigating the woke community and the impact of privilege.
They explore the idea of labeling and diagnosis, how the 'victim' mindset can hinder progress, and the perception of victimhood. They also delve into the practical aspects of behavior change, such as the resources needed and the importance of preparation. The conversation touches on the relationship between creativity and limitations, as well as the resourcefulness that can arise in adversity. Finally, they highlight the significance of perceived barriers and the role of people in supporting change.
