• Breaking Free from Extremes: The Journey from Discipline to Balance

  In this powerful episode of Finding Harmony Podcast, we welcome back Kate Winter, a registered psychodynamic counselor, yoga teacher, and former police detective, to explore the deep patterns that shape our behavior—and how we can break free from them. Kate shares her personal journey of moving through extremes—from marathon running and bodybuilding to Ashtanga yoga and psychotherapy—and how each phase of her life revealed deeper lessons about control, identity, and healing. Trigger Warning This episode discusses topics that may be sensitive for some listeners, including eating disorders, body image struggles, exercise addiction, trauma, and fertility challenges. If these topics are triggering for you, please listen with care or seek support from a trusted professional.   Key Topics Discussed: The patterns of competition and self-worth that drive overachievers Why resistance isn’t something to fight—it’s something to listen to The role of therapy in complementing yoga practice for deeper self-awareness How letting go of control allowed Kate to get pregnant after years of struggle The connection between somatic experience, psychotherapy, and healing trauma What happens when we stop pushing and start trusting our bodies This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, discipline, or the fear of slowing down. Kate’s story is a beautiful reminder that true transformation often begins with letting go. Kate Winter is a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist based in Brighton in the UK.    As a former Police Officer and senior leader in a Rape Crisis Centre, Kate has spent the past twenty years working on the frontline of trauma. Moving away from the idea that trauma is something to be 'healed', Kate works on the premise that trauma can be used as a vehicle for individual and collective transformation.    With additional experience as an Ashtanga yoga practitioner and Personal Trainer, Kate uses traditional psychoanalysis, yoga philosophy and movement practices to help clients bring about lasting change. 👉 Special Announcement: Join Harmony and Russell for a 10-day yoga immersion in Gothenburg, Sweden, this March!
