How mindfulness can help in the bedroom – and beyond

What’s your partner really up to on that night out? What was the real motive behind them saying what they did? Do they even truly love you?

Chances are, it’s all innocent, but that’s not what your brain would have you believe! When our imaginations run riot, it can ruin relationships – so why do we give our brains free rein?In this talk Holly will take you on a tour of mindfulness and relationship wellbeing.  She will shed light on why our other halves can drive us crazy, why we sabotage our relationships and how mindfulness can help in the bedroom.

Holly will equip you with mindfulness tools to help improve empathy, cope with rejection and manage chronic relationship insecurities. If you’ve ever asked someone if they loved you repeatedly until they hated you, this one’s for you!
