Show Notes
It’s another great episode exploring Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and sound therapy.
First of all I talk to Helen from Wiltshire who lives with OCD. She describes the triggers for her contamination OCD, when she got her diagnosis and how it affects her day to day life.
Then I speak to Jane Everett, a sound therapist who runs ‘Silence and Noise’. I visited her in Cornwall for a session and it was the most beautiful afternoon. At the end of the episode you can hear some of the soundscapes Jane creates.
Here are some useful links and resources: OCD UK is a charity providing advice and support to those affected by OCD. The charity 'Mind' also has a list of useful contacts if you're looking for support with OCD. Jane can be found at her website or on Instagram. And here's all the info for MY new book Be Yourself and Happier.

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.
