Show Notes
Thank you all so much for getting in touch. I love hearing from you and I'm proud of the community we’re creating.
In this week's episode I chat to the founder of ‘Renew Breakup Bootcamp’ Amy Chan and discuss all things relationships, including the myth of closure. I loved the chat with Amy and her book is fantastic. I also speak to Vijay Rana, a somatic experience trauma practitioner. I’ve worked with Vijay for a long time and have learnt a lot about what somatic therapy is and how the nervous system works in driving the mind. Enjoy!
Here are some useful links and resources: You can connect with Amy Chan on Instagram and find out more about her bootcamps here, plus you can find her book here. Here's the still face experiment video Vijay mentioned and his website is here if you want to find out more about his work. And here's all the info for MY new book Be Yourself and Happier, which comes out next month.

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.
