Reminder! Even on hard days, it's important that we are kind to ourselves. Self-compassion is not about replacing uncomfortable feelings, but instead acknowledging that things are hard and responding with gentleness and patience. thisisdoctorz.com

I have identified 10 playing-it-safe moves that we all rely on, but when going unchecked and used often, keep us living a contradiction between the life we want to live and the life we’re living.

Your playing-it-safe profile will give you the awareness you need to stop living small, stop relying on ineffective playing-it-safe moves, and start living with purpose. 🎉

What makes you anxious? What do you fear? I know, firsthand, that when you blindly act on fear, your life shrinks.

- Dealing with different types of anxieties is the norm, not the exception.
- There are more common psychological processes across all anxiety struggles than different ones.
- Anyone dealing with fears engages in safety behaviours to manage those uncomfortable internal experiences. These are what I call playing-it-safe moves
- Relying automatically and often on a playing-it-safe move has long-term negative consequences.

Whether it's OCD, Perfectionism or indecisiveness my online courses are here to help you stop playing-it-safe and start living! Take a look at my website for more information: courses.thisisdoctorz.com

I’m so excited to facilitate a webinar series for the Association For Coaching: "AC Webinar Series: Applied ACT for Coaching High Achievers!" 🎤✨

It's a 4-part series designed to help coaches move clients from pressure-driven performance to real psychological thriving

Here’s what each session is all about:

Webinar 1: ACT Foundations and The Psychology of Thriving
How psychological flexibility helps clients thrive — living by their values while making room for discomfort and uncertainty.

Webinar 2: What’s Wrong with Caring Deeply?
A new way to understand perfectionism and procrastination — and how to help clients carry anxiety instead of fighting it.

Webinar 3: Self-Compassion and the Tale of Two Arrows
Using self-compassion as a practical skill to reduce self-attack without lowering standards.

Webinar 4: The Workability Game: Learning It, Playing It, Committing to It
Helping high achievers shift from proving their worth to building sustainable, values-driven performance.

Looking forward to diving into these conversations together!

🗓 March 3rd–March 24th | Every Tuesdays 8am EST
