			<description><![CDATA[Former dancer turned psychotherapist <strong>Cai Tomos</strong> joins <em>The Mind Game</em> to explore resilience you can actually feel in your body. We dig into somatic tools for anxiety, how to “befriend” difficult sensations, why true rest is more than a day off, and the power of imagination to prime performance. Cai shares hospital-based work, community healing, and the small practices—like noticing your outbreath or lifting your eyes to the “horizon”—that help athletes (and all of us) move from stuck to steady. If you push hard, struggle to switch off, or want a calmer, stronger mind on and off the field, this one’s for you.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

After being diagnosed with two forms of cancer and told there was no cure, Dean turned to open-water swimming and nature as a way to heal, both physically and mentally. His journey took him from hospital beds to record-breaking swims in some of the world’s wildest waters. We talk about resilience, finding purpose when life feels impossible, and how the mind can guide the body to achieve extraordinary things.</p><br><p>I’m Einir Trimble, a clinical hypnotherapist helping athletes and high performers master their mental game, boost confidence, and perform under pressure.

But what struck me most in our conversation was his honesty about fear, failure, and how mindset plays a central role in every climb he takes on.</p><br><p>We spoke about:</p><ul><li>How a finger injury led him down the unlikely path of crack climbing</li><li>What it really means to train for <em>pain tolerance</em> and not just strength</li><li>How he reframes discomfort, fear, and failure</li><li>The mental side of elite climbing — and how Lattice Training is changing the way athletes train for psychological performance</li><li>Why enjoying the <em>process</em> matters more than any result</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, or just someone who’s fascinated by the mental side of performance, I think you’ll love this episode.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, I chat with Rhodd Hughes – personal trainer, physiotherapist, and entrepreneur – about the pressure to be 'perfect' when it comes to training, time management, and running a business. Rhodd shares her ‘something over nothing’ philosophy – a kinder, more realistic approach to health and life goals. We talk about self-sabotage, learning to say no, and why small steps can make a big difference. If you’ve ever felt like everything has to be 100% before you can even start, this is the episode for you.</p><p><strong>Please note: This conversation is in Welsh.</strong></p><br><p>I'm Einir Trimble, a qualified hypnotherapist specialising in mental resilience for athletes.
