Show Notes
What can therapy teach us about the patterns we keep repeating, the way we speak to ourselves and what happens when old wounds show up in our relationships?
For this special episode of The Health Review, I’m bringing together three of my favourite conversations with psychotherapists and psychologists from the show.
Psychotherapist Toby Ingham explains emotional regulation, why our thoughts can spiral when we feel insecure, and his brilliant “weak ankle” analogy for understanding our own emotional vulnerabilities.
Psychologist and psychotherapist Victoria Shalet explores shame — where it comes from, how it can show up as perfectionism, people pleasing and judgement, and why our closest relationships can often expose the parts of ourselves that still need attention.
And chartered psychologist Susie Reading looks at self-abandonment, our relationship with our thoughts, self-compassion and why therapy can sometimes mean learning to feel more — not less.
Three different conversations, but with a common thread: understanding ourselves a little better can change the way we relate to our thoughts, our emotions and the people around us.
