  • Well done

    Loss of love is indeed painful and definitely takes time and patience for each person And for some a year or even more

    What is important is allowing the feelings to expressed

    Sometimes the wounds will heal and then open again

    But to hold on to the memories of what you have left and what you are walking towards

    It is universal experience and yet it is unique to the person who is enduring it

  • Clear and informative

    I am enjoying this new podcast. It’s well presented and deals with one issue at a time so that the subject is authoritatively covered and contributors are able to speak clearly and have enough time to demonstrate their knowledge and expertise.

    Excellent, long may it continue.

  • How about freelancers? Single mums?

    As a freelancer, single mum, mother of a neurodivergent child with additional needs, no holiday pay, no access to financial support, sick pay, I find that this podcast doesn’t consider people like us - I’m suffering from burn out and wondering how to recover

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What is ‘gaslighting’?
Q: Jennifer, what would you tell a listener who might be experiencing this?
Find a friend to talk to, avoid confronting the gaslighter alone, practice trusting your own feelings, and build a support network that can validate your experiences as you consider seeking professional help.
What is ‘gaslighting’?
Q: So how would you answer that, Jennifer?
Gaslighting, at its core, is a coercive mechanism that forces someone to disbelieve their own reality and truth, and it can appear subtly in daily interactions as a pattern that undermines confidence and autonomy.
When does alcohol become a problem?
Q: What distinguishes harmful drinking from dependency?
Harmful drinking can occur without dependency, such as binge drinking, while dependency involves cravings and a need to drink to cope, even after attempts to cut down.
When does alcohol become a problem?
Q: Can you help us with a definition or unpick what we mean when we talk about alcohol use disorder?
Alcohol use disorder is when drinking reaches a level that affects mental and physical health and disrupts relationships, signaling a problematic pattern that may require support.
Is your partner a narcissist?
Q: What's the difference between narcissistic traits and a narcissistic personality disorder?
Traits are common, mild, and often manageable, while a disorder involves a persistent pattern that causes significant distress or impairment, with more pronounced lack of mutuality and accountability.
