How to Release Your Emotional Baggage, with Cedric Bertelli

In this episode, I'm joined by Cedric Bertelli as we dive deep into the hidden mechanics of emotional pain, trauma, and healing. Our guest shares his insights from years of research on how the brain forms destructive emotional patterns - like anxiety, fear, and self-doubt - and, more importantly, how we can break free from them.

Why do we numb our pain with alcohol, overwork, or other destructive behaviours? The answer might not be what you think. Discover how trauma - big or small - can leave emotional imprints that resurface as self-sabotaging patterns, often without us realising it.

This episode is a practical guide for anyone ready to reclaim control of their emotional well-being. Learn how to recognise when your body signals unresolved trauma and how simple, intuitive steps can help you resolve emotional triggers - without needing to revisit the trauma itself.

We also explore the radical idea that hope might actually block healing and discuss why facing your emotions head-on could be the most powerful step toward true freedom. Hear from Cedric how his life-changing approach has helped countless people free themselves from emotional baggage they’ve carried for years.

If you’re ready to break cycles of fear, anxiety, or anger - and find genuine emotional relief - this episode could be your first step toward transformation.

Have you ever felt like you’ve become lost in your own life? 

Many men struggle to talk about their problems and mental health and grew up believing that to do can be perceived as a sign of weakness or failure. There is also a lack of open discussion in society around men’s mental health, especially aimed at mid-life men.  As a result, at times many men can feel alone and lost in their own lives. 

In this podcast series, I talk to mid-life men about their stories; the challenges, the turning points, and the support received to help them find their way so that others who may be suffering in silence or don’t know what to do next, realise that they are not alone and there is help available. 

Stories will cover a whole range of challenges faced by mid-life men mainly relating to the causes of mental health issues including feelings of isolation, depression, job dissatisfaction, addiction, PTSD, and long-term illness.

The podcast is NOT a replacement for professional support and we signpost to organisations and their contact details by episode.
