Show Notes
This week I talk about feedback in the workplace, why nobody wants to receive it and nobody wants to give it! I discuss how to deal with difficult workplace relationships and how to ask for a raise... that’s a really tricky one. My guest is Thomas Erikson, a lecturer, management consultant, and author of ‘Surrounded By Idiots’.
Also this episode I speak to Tracey Shors, a neuroscientist and distinguished professor at Rutgers University. She's got some interesting ideas about rumination and how to overcome it and she's the author of a book called ‘Everyday Trauma’.
I'd love to hear from you if anything you've heard resonates. You can contact the podcast on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, or you can email [email protected]
Here are some useful links and resources: You can find Thomas on Instagram and there's information about his books here. Here's more about Tracey's book Everyday Trauma. 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.
