Show Notes
This week I present you with a sex special!
Often people don’t talk about sex enough so I want to explore two issues on opposite ends of the spectrum... sex addiction and loss of sex drive. Joining me is Marian O’Connor, a psychosexual and relationship therapist and head of psychosexual training at Tavistock Relationships, and Dr Amani Zarroug, a clinical psychologist and relationship and psychosexual therapist. We discuss the role of porn in sex addiction, what might cause a loss in sex drive and how culture makes its mark on our sexual attitudes.
Please keep getting in touch. 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 Dr Amani on Instagram or via her website. Marian's website is here and she has chapters in two recent books. 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.
