Show Notes
Hello and welcome to the first episode of The Wellbeing Lab - live from my kitchen table and, of course, sat next to the dogs. This week, I chat to psychotherapist and addiction specialist Pamela Roberts exploring the subject of shopping addiction. We discuss the addiction itself, as well as what might be beneath it. Also on today’s episode, I discuss the importance of boundaries with author, speaker and life coach Michelle Elman. Get ready to wave goodbye to people pleasing!
I’d LOVE to hear from you, please write in with your experiences and I’ll read and discuss next week. Please note that all correspondence is treated with strict confidentiality. Get in touch via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or email [email protected]

More from The Wellbeing Lab with Will Young
Grief is a universal experience, but one that we navigate alone. It's also one of the most-requested topics for me to cover here at the Wellbeing Lab.
Ooh I'm excited to get into this week's topic. It's quite a complicated subject, but it's one of my favourites to discuss... codependency. When I learnt about codependency it was a lightbulb moment and I hope you glean some useful information from it. My guest is counselling psychologist Dr Jane Halsall who has a special interest in addiction.
This week I welcome back the excellent Jo Stubley. She's a Consultant Psychiatrist in Psychotherapy at the Tavistock Clinic and an expert on trauma, so I invited her back to talk to me about complex post-traumatic stress disorder. We talk about diagnosis, treatment, some of the problems around the naming of these experiences and of course have a few jokes along the way.
This week's episode came from a chance meeting in the sunshine. Each year I attend the Chelsea Flower Show with my mum and this summer one of the gardens was made in partnership with a charity. It's called the Centre for Mental Health and their aim is to reduce mental health inequalities by building research evidence to create fairer mental health policy.
